Chapter 225: The Wind Moves the Skirt
Chapter 225: The Wind Moves the Skirt
The sunlight dappled across the bluestone path of Rongguo Mansion.
Jia Yingchun lowered her head, and a hint of redness and swelling on her forehead was faintly visible under her carefully concealed makeup.
She had just escaped from her father Jia She, and her heart was filled with fear and grievance.
"Miss, your injury..."
Siqi looked at Yingchun with heartache, the powder puff in her hand stopped in mid-air, her eyes full of indignation.
Yingchun shook her head slightly, her voice as soft as a mosquito:
"It's okay, just keep it a secret. Don't make it public, or else there will be trouble."
Xiu Ju was helping to sort out the clothes nearby, and couldn't help but say:
"This master is really something. How can he be so cruel to the young lady?"
When Siqi heard this, she became even more furious:
"Mr. Cao has been a guest at Ningguo Mansion recently. I will go to him to seek justice."
Yingchun's face suddenly changed when she heard this, and she quickly grabbed Siqi's hand:
"No! My relationship with Mr. Cao is not open to the public yet. If this matter gets out of hand, it will only bring harm to you, me, and him."
Siqi knew that what he said was true, so she could only nod reluctantly, but the indignation in her heart was hard to calm down.
With the help of Siqi and Xiu Ju, Yingchun's injuries were cleverly concealed. She calmed herself down and went to the Grand View Garden to reunite with her sisters in order to dispel the haze in her heart.
And the other side.
Cao Rui was enjoying himself in Tianxiang Tower. He didn't get up until noon and Ping'er helped him to dress and wash.
"Where's Ke Qing?"
"Grandma went to the Grand View Garden to entertain Miss Yingchun. I heard that she has arranged a lot of activities. I'm afraid she won't be back until the evening."
Cao Rui had long wanted to visit the Grand View Garden, which is known as the kingdom of women. Unfortunately, he did not have the right identity, so he had to leave it for later.
At this moment, a little maid came in hurriedly and said that Siqi, the head maid beside Yingchun, came to the mansion to inquire about Cao Rui's whereabouts and asked how to deal with him.
"Oh, lead the way."
When Cao Rui came out, he left a message saying that he would go to Ningguo Mansion to find him if he had something to do. The two families were close friends, so it was normal for him to stay overnight.
It didn't take long.
Cao Rui saw Siqi and asked:
"Siqi, what do you want to talk to the master about?"
Siqi immediately complained:
"Mr. Cao, your wife was hit on the forehead by the master of Rongguo Mansion, just because the gift she brought back home did not satisfy him."
"How bold!"
Cao Rui was immediately furious. He had signed a soul contract with Jia Yingchun, guaranteeing that she would not be bullied.
Even if that person is Jia Yingchun's father Jia She, it won't work.
"You go back first and don't tell Yingchun anything. I will take care of it."
"I understand, Mr. Cao, please be more cautious. After all, the eldest master of Rongguo Mansion is Madam's biological father."
Siqi admired Cao Rui's tough attitude very much. After giving him careful instructions, she hurried back to the Grand View Garden. After all, she had sneaked out without telling Yingchun.
After Cao Rui found out Jia She's residence, he asked Ping'er to leave.
Ping'er wanted to say something but hesitated, and finally said nothing. As for Second Madam Lian, she was always worried that she would be sent away by the jealous Wang Xifeng.
When she came to Rong'er's wife, she saw many absurd things. She knew that keeping secret was the first priority, otherwise she would be in trouble.
When there was no one around, Cao Rui transformed into Wenzhu again and went underground to Jia She's residence.
This old guy was seen living a life of debauchery in broad daylight, drinking wine, listening to music, and playing and frolicking with his concubines.
Cao Rui waited until Jia She was drunk and staggering towards the toilet, then he crawled out from underground and tripped him into the pit.
At the same time, unlock the talent copied from Banggeng? Ungrateful person.

Cao Rui quietly returned to Tianxiang Tower, hiding his achievements and fame.
But Jia She almost choked to death. He struggled desperately and finally managed to get out of the sewage. He was smelling bad and looked in a miserable state.
This incident not only made the master of Rongguo Mansion lose face, but also made him seriously ill. He didn't even have the energy to shout for the arrest of the murderer.
The news quickly spread throughout the Jia Mansion. Everyone looked at each other, wanting to laugh but not daring to. The girl, who was naturally clean, even looked disgusted.
It seems I won’t be able to eat tonight.
Among them, Jia Yingchun's face suddenly changed after hearing this. She quietly pulled Siqi to an empty corner and asked:
"Is Mr. Cao a guest at the Jia Mansion? Have you gone to see him?"
Siqi felt a little guilty and a little scared. She didn't expect Cao Rui's revenge to be... so creative.
But she still nodded, and just made a small excuse:
"When Mr. Cao found out that you, Madam, were bullied, he was furious. If it weren't for that person's special status, I'm afraid he wouldn't have been able to get out of this."
Yingchun was in mixed emotions when she heard this, and was speechless for a long time. Due to her personality, she was reluctant to punish Siqi, and only warned her:
"Keep this to yourself and don't tell anyone, otherwise you will be held responsible! And if you act on your own next time, I will never forgive you."
"My slave knows that I was wrong."
Siqi breathed a sigh of relief. It was good that she was not driven away, otherwise her dream of becoming a concubine would be shattered.
"Where is my husband? Take me to find him."
Of course, before that, I have to visit Jia She first.
Others may refuse to go because it is smelly, but she, as a daughter, and Wang Xifeng, as a daughter-in-law, cannot refuse to go.
Jia Yingchun and Wang Xifeng walked together. As soon as they stepped into Jia She's yard, a strange smell mixed with incense, medicine, etc. hit them in the face.
Wang Xifeng almost vomited, and quickly covered her nose with a handkerchief. After calming down, she pinched Yingchun first, then pinched her own thigh, and her eyes were blurred with tears due to the pain. Then she walked into the room to visit Jia She.
Jia She was seen half lying on the bed, his face sallow and his eyes dull. When he saw his daughter and daughter-in-law come in, he just moved his lips slightly and didn't have the strength to speak.
Yingchun stepped forward and asked a few questions softly, but the response she got was Jia She's vague mumbling, as if he was complaining about something.
When Jia Yingchun saw Jia She, who was once so powerful, now lying in bed sick, she felt mixed emotions.
But when she heard the concubines cursing the murderer, saying that he would not die a horrible death and that his son would be born without an anus, Jia Yingchun's reluctance immediately disappeared.
These vixens, who don't even have any children, dare to speak nonsense. Sooner or later, Sister Feng will have to send them away.
Jia Yingchun was filled with indignation and had no intention of playing the role of a filial daughter. She just said a few words of comfort and followed Wang Xifeng away.
Go to the door.
Jia Yingchun made an excuse to meet Jin Kaiwen who was drinking in the front yard and quietly came to Tianxiang Tower.
When she went up to the third floor, she saw Cao Rui, who was leisurely tasting food with a smile on his face, as if he was waiting for her.
Yingchun had a thousand words in her heart but didn't know how to express them, so she threw herself into Cao Rui's arms, tears welling up in her eyes. She looked so weak, wanting to cry but not daring to, that anyone wanted to bully her.
Cao Rui patted her back gently and comforted her tenderly:
"I told you, from now on, only I can bully you, no one else can."
"Ah."
"You can cry if you want, because I'm going to start bullying you!"
"what?"
Cao Rui stood up and pressed Jia Yingchun against the railing on the roof.
The cool breeze blew in, ruffling the hem of her skirt, making her look quite noisy.
