”Third Elder Sister, don't joke.” Jin Se turned her face to the side slightly, her cheeks flushed red.
”Sister! ”What I said was the truth. I think if you want to help me, you might as well be the female lead in my drama.” Qi Zhen smiled and looked at Jin Se, his face was filled with sincerity.
”Third Elder Sister, I have never acted in a play before, I'm afraid … It's not good. ” Jin Se was not completely confident, her hands anxiously twisting the handkerchief, and took the chance to speak to secretly look at Qi Zhen. She was afraid that it would ruin their mood.
”Little Sister Jin Se! I think you can put on a good act! Moreover, it's not something that someone was born to do. There's always a first time round, so sister should be at ease and agree to it! ”
Qi Zhen persisted, and seeing that Qi Zhen's interest was once again high, she suddenly couldn't bear to touch Qi Zhen's good intentions, so she could only nod her head, ”Then, I'll give it a try.”
Hearing Jin Se's words, Qi Zhen clapped happily, ”Great, now I am at ease, and I have found the most suitable female protagonist for this drama!” then pulled Jin Se and told him a lot of things about the female protagonist of the play, which Jin Se agreed to. Qi Zhen then suddenly remembered about his aunt's matter, and changed the topic, pulling Jin Se by the hand, and asked in concern, ”How is your aunt's matter?”
”Second brother told me …” ”Even though I said that the situation has turned for the better, I am still very happy!” When Jin Se brought up this matter, his eyes flickered, filled with endless joy.
”That's good! ”Little sister, don't worry. Aunt and the rest will definitely be safe and sound!” Qi Zhen comforted her again as she tightly pulled Jin Se's hand, as if she was transmitting some kind of power to Jin Se.
Jin Se gave a moved and determined ”En” sound.
At this time, a light knocking sound came from the door, ”Third Young Miss? ”May I ask if the lady is here?”
It's Li Luo this girl, Qi Zhen immediately replied, ”She's here! ”Come in.”
Li Luo then pushed the door and entered. She had combed her hair into three braids, and hung them low in front of her chest, her clothes were the most commonly seen front lapels with slanted buttons. Her appearance was simple and honest. Mrs. Xue is in the front hall calling you! ”
”Oh, oh, good!” Jin Se turned his head and said his goodbyes to Qi Zhen, as the two of them agreed to meet again tomorrow.
Before leaving, Qi Zhen did not forget to tell her that he would send someone to deliver the message to her later.
Walking out of the hall, he suddenly heard a gust of wind, then heard the bamboo leaves rustling, and a few pillars supporting a long corridor, which meandered straight to the front hall. Jin Se asked softly, ”Aunt, why are you calling me at this time, is there something wrong?”
Li Luo quickly followed behind Jin Se. After hearing Jin Se's question, Li Luo could only shake his head, ”I don't know either. The girl whom Madame sent me straight to call out to. ”
Jin Se nodded, he stood at the entrance of the hall and tidied up his clothes.
”Is it Jin Se?”
”Sigh!” It's me, Auntie. ”
After Jin Se entered the room, he turned to Auntie Xue and asked, ”What did Auntie call me for?”
Auntie Xue was stretched out on the rocking chair, swaying leisurely with the rocking chair. There were two cups of tea on the tea table beside him, both of which still smelled of tea.
Seeing the other wives in the room, they all sat calmly.
Jin Se bowed towards the other wives. Aunt Xue immediately took Jin Se's hand affectionately, ”Come, sit down and tell me, good child.”
Auntie Xue held onto the little girl's hand and sat up straight. She asked someone to send Jin Se another cup of tea.
Jin Se sat down with Auntie Xue. In her heart, she was grateful to her aunt, and her eyes were full of respect for her elders. She quietly waited like this for Auntie Xue.
When the lady by the side saw Jin Se, she started to talk loudly, breaking the silence, ”They said that Mrs. Xue has adopted a new daughter, and seeing her today, it is indeed different!”
”I'm sorry, I'm sorry. Since we're free to chat, let's introduce our goddaughter to everyone.” At this time, Jin Se already understood that this was precisely the reason.
”Hmm, these are some of Yunmeng's wives, they're all easy to deal with. I saw that you had nothing to do, so I let you come over to chat with them.”
Jin Se cutely nodded her head and smiled to the other wives, ”Good morning ladies, this is the first time that Jin Se has met you.
