Chapter 529 Xia Ziying escapes
There were roses planted all around the corner of the wall that was returned to the courtyard. After Princess Qinghui found out that the Chu family wanted to build a rose wall for her, she also asked for it.
Simply, Xia Zihan planted roses on all the walls of Chu Yuexi's courtyard.
Princess Qinghui brought many maids and women as dowries, and Xia Zihan also asked someone to build a row of back houses behind their yard, and a row of crabapples were planted behind the house.
After the courtyard was almost repaired, Xia Zihan sent Chu Cong to ask Princess Qinghui to come and take a look.
She said to Princess Qinghui, "If you are dissatisfied with something, just say so. This is where you will live from now on. You must live in a place that is comfortable for you and that you like."
Princess Qinghui pulled her and walked around the yard. When she saw the newly dug pond, she was a little disappointed and said, "This lotus cannot be seen this year. It will have to grow next year. It will grow densely." There will be more flowers blooming.”
"You, just be content. These lotus flowers were newly dug by me from Zhuangzi. Do you know how much labor was spent on them?" Xia Zihan said angrily.
"If you are not satisfied with the others, I can redo it for you, but this lotus flower... can't do it."
She's not a god. She can turn lotus flowers into a pond all at once?
The lotus is not very attractive in the first year after it is planted. It will take another year before it looks good.
Princess Qinghui chuckled, "I just said a few words, look at you, you said a few words about me."
"Aren't I afraid that you will make trouble for me to replant it for you?" Xia Zihan curled her lips and said.
If it were anyone else, Princess Qinghui would really take the opportunity to make things difficult for her husband's family and give them a show of strength, but the target was Xia Zihan, Princess Qinghui would not.
"Come on, I'll take you to the pavilion to have a look." Xia Zihan said.
The two of them stepped onto the nine-turn winding bridge. Princess Qinghui exclaimed in surprise, "It's a glazed tile. Are the floors covered with glazed tiles?"
The small bridge is paved with glazed tiles. When you walk on it, you can lower your head and see the fish and shrimp in the pond below. Princess Qinghui smiled excitedly, "Chu Yu, is this a surprise for me?"
"These are not glazed tiles, they are glazed bricks. The entire road and pavilions are paved with glazed bricks. I personally removed the glazed tiles in the workshop and asked them to make thicker ones. So, you can rest assured that they will never be broken."
Princess Qinghui hugged Xia Zihan excitedly, "Chu Yu, you are so kind to me."
Xia Zihan smiled and said deliberately, "If I don't treat you well, who will I treat well? You are my sister-in-law. From now on, when my sister-in-law returns to her parents' home, I will have to look at your sister-in-law's expression."
"Who dares to show off to you?" Princess Qinghui's face straightened, "Whoever dares to show off to you will have trouble with me."
"Pfft...that's pretty much it." Xia Zihan was happy.
The two people walked together to the pavilion. The pavilion's floor was covered with transparent glazed bricks. With their heads lowered, they could clearly see the water and fish in the pond below.
Princess Qinghui liked it very much and found it very fresh. She stared at a big red carp swimming under her feet and danced happily, "Look, look, the fish's mouth is exposed out of the water. Oops, it's about to bite..."
The fish's mouth came out of the water, and it opened and closed, and it really looked like it was biting her feet.
Xia Zihan also saw something new, and pretended to step on the fish from time to time. Princess Qinghui suddenly said, "From now on, I have decided that no one will be allowed to come here except a few of us."
This glazed brick was very precious and she liked it very much. She would not let others step on it.
"As long as you like it." Xia Zihan smiled.
The two of them went shopping in other places. After finishing their shopping, they sat in the yard drinking tea. Princess Qinghui remembered something and suddenly said, "Chu Yu, why did I hear something on the way here?" People on the street are talking about you being ugly. Have you offended someone? Someone is deliberately trying to ruin your reputation?”
"Whatever. Anyway, since I have Aqi, I don't need to talk about marriage. I can let outsiders tell me whether I'm ugly or not."
Xia Zihan looked unconcerned, as if he had expected this to happen.
Princess Qinghui was indignant, "Tell me, who did you offend? I'll go find that person to settle the score. How could he confuse right and wrong and insult your appearance casually? You are obviously prettier than me, yet he dared to open his eyes." You are telling lies, but you don’t even know it. When I was passing by on the street, I heard people on the street talking, saying that you were as embarrassing as a pig, and that you were an ugly monster that is rare to see in a thousand years. My lungs were about to explode with anger. ”
Seeing that Princess Qinghui was really angry, Xia Zihan was afraid that she would be impulsive and miss her, so he had no choice but to tell everything about Rong San's plot against her and his own guess.
"Damn, it's that playboy..." Princess Qinghui's face twitched with anger, and then she said with an embarrassed face, "Chu Yu, it's all me... If it weren't for me, he wouldn't be here either. I will come to try your best.”
"Why are you feeling guilty? He is just that kind of person. Even if it wasn't because of you, he would probably come and try to make plans for me sooner or later." Xia Zihan comforted him, and then said, "Don't worry, now, beat him to death. They won’t try to make any plans to me.”
"But, your ugly reputation..."
"What are you afraid of? It's not true." Xia Zihan disagreed. Princess Qinghui burst into laughter, her face no longer so worried, and she smiled, "That's right, white is not black, and black cannot be whitened. Your face is the evidence here. There are rumors outside. No matter what, it’s all rumors.”
After sending Princess Qinghui away, Xia Zihan didn't take the rumors to heart at all. Instead, she wondered in her heart whether she would also build a glazed pavilion in the small hall in the flower room of Duke Anguo's mansion?
However, it took a lot of money to build such a pavilion. Not only was the entire ground covered with glazed bricks, but she also used green glazed bricks and red glazed tiles to build the entire pavilion.
This pavilion cost her more than 10,000 taels of silver. It was her private money. She did not record it in the Chu family's books. However, she had set aside the cost before going to Huaihe City. Now, she has it in her hand. The money she bought was almost all spent, and the profit from the shop this month has not been received yet. If she wanted to build such a glazed pavilion in Anguo Palace, she would have to use Zhuo's private money.
But regarding the use of money, no matter how close she was to Zhuo, she was still embarrassed to speak.
Xia Zihan thought about it and finally decided not to talk about it for now. If she wants it after she passes the door, she can build one by herself.
"Master, Sanba is back."
Chu Lin came in to report.
Sanba has been keeping an eye on Xia Ziying's movements, why did she suddenly come back?
Could it be that there is something new going on with Xia Ziying?
Xia Zihan quickly asked Sanba to come in.
Sure enough, something happened to Xia Ziying.
As soon as Sanba entered the door, he knelt down with a plop and said with a face full of shame, "Master, this slave did something bad. She...she escaped."
"Escaped? Who? Xia Ziying?" Xia Zihan's eyes widened in shock, "Didn't you say she was crazy?"
"I'm not crazy, Master, this slave was deceived by her." Sanba said bitterly.
Then, he reported everything he had observed about the Cao family and Xia Ziying during this period.
It turned out that after Xia Ziying went crazy, Cao Huajun completely regarded her as surname | lust | forbidden | 蔔.
Cao Huajun liked her body, but he also disliked her body for being touched by Chu Jingwen. He disliked her, but he was reluctant to abandon her. He was also crazy about what her body could bring him that other women could not. His ultimate pleasure.
In Cao Huajun's complicated state of mind, Xia Ziying became his companion who could come and go at a moment's notice.
Not only that, he resented her for cuckolding him, so he tried every means to torture her in bed, and tortured Xia Ziying to the point of death every time.
In the beginning, when Xia Zihan couldn't bear the torture anymore, he would cry and laugh like a madman, and even bit Cao Huajun once, leaving a hole in his shoulder and blood flowing out. .
Cao Huajun blocked her mouth, tied her limbs to the bed and tortured her.
After the torture was over, he let her go, locked her in the utility room, and asked an old woman to wash, dress, eat and drink her.
Yesterday was Cao Huajun's wedding day.
In the past, Cao Huayun was worried about the second young master of the Xia family, so he hesitated to marry her husband's family, and later she became an old girl. The Cao family's reputation was ruined because she married Xia Ziying, a libertine, and Cao Huayun became even more annoying.
Mrs. Cao was anxious. On the first day of the first month of this year, she decided to marry Cao Huayun to the nephew of a colleague of Mr. Cao as his stepmother.
That man was in his thirties, and his first wife gave birth to him two legitimate sons and one legitimate daughter. When Cao Huajun married her, she had to be a stepmother.
On the day of Cao Huajun's wedding, she cried from the moment she got on the sedan chair to the moment she got off the sedan chair. She didn't want to marry an older man as her stepmother, and even the ceremony was held down by two wives.
At night, Cao Huajun still wanted to seek death. As a result, she was beaten and suppressed by the man. After a whole night of torture, Cao Huajun no longer dared to seek death the next day. She was completely eaten to death by her man. She didn't dare to resist at all, and was even afraid of her man.
As for Xia Ziying, on the day of her wedding, when the old lady guarding her was not paying attention, she knocked her unconscious with a stool.
There was a big hole in the old woman's head, and blood was pouring out of the hole. Xia Zihan was trembling with fear, but he had the courage to take off the old woman's clothes, put them on himself, and even took some clothes off the old woman's body. More than forty coins, a pair of silver lilacs, and a silver ring were found.
Taking these belongings, she dressed up as an old woman, and then secretly escaped from Cao's house when the wedding party had just arrived at Cao's house and there was chaos and excitement.
Sanba has been monitoring her, but he has not entered the house to monitor her. He has been hiding on a tree in the yard, monitoring her yard.
So, he didn't know anything about what happened in her house.
