Chapter 24 (1/2)
”Girl, why are you sitting in the ear room drinking tea alone? It's all a mess because of you outside.” mammy Qian came in and said hurriedly.
”What happened?”
”Just now, I heard from the four girls that you talked to Gu Shizi yesterday and said your intention...” mammy Qian was ashamed to say, ”but this was listened to by Miss Zheng. In addition, Princess Pingyang fanned the flames nearby. Miss Zheng left. Even Mrs. Shang Shu's face was not good. She thought that we Chu's women had lost their virtue and said it was difficult to be together.”
Chu Zhi sneered: ”is Chu Wan crazy? Tell others I'm interested in Gu Changyan? Does she think the reputation of the Chu family is too good?”
”At that time, the four girls and the six girls were talking in the pavilion. The four girls fanned the flames in front of the six girls and said a lot of bad things about you. Unfortunately, Miss Zheng and Princess Pingyang listened to them. Who doesn't know that Miss Zheng liked Gu Shizi. Shangshu and his wife regarded Gu Shizi as a prospective son-in-law. But Mrs. Shangshu was careful and helped by Princess Pingyang, so they said you ... say you... ”
”Say I don't know shame?” Chu Zhi took the initiative.
Mother Qian was worried, ”girl, you have just returned to the house. You have been criticized. You were looked up to by the long Princess yesterday. This morning, people are talking about you. Now something like this has happened again. Everyone will say you...”
Mammy Qian sighed, ”madam is asking you to lecture now! The slave and maid will invite you right away.”
Even if mammy Qian didn't say it, Chu Zhi could know what these people said.
It just means that she has a big heart and wants to climb high branches.
”Mammy, don't worry.” Chu Zhi smiled and comforted, ”what I haven't done can't be true no matter how the fourth sister framed me.”
Chu Zhi said and went to Wu.
When she went, Wu's face was ugly, and the eldest lady Chen was there.
Seeing Chu Zhi coming, Chen sneered: ”your daughter is coming. How to punish you depends on yourself!”
Wu got up early and was angry with Chu Zhi. As a result, as soon as he returned to the yard, Chen took Chu wan to ask questions and said that Chu Zhi had implicated the reputation of Chu girls. Now he looked at Chu Zhi and said coldly, ”kneel down for me!”
Chu Zhi calmly invited an to Chen and Wu. Then he got up and said slowly, ”did your daughter ever do anything wrong?”
”You still have the face to ask!” Wu pointed to Chu Zhi. ”You seduced Gu Shizi in public in Chuang Tzu yesterday. You didn't know shame and lost the face of our Chu family. Miss Zheng and Mrs. Zheng also left because of you. Your sisters will suffer with you. Don't you know what's wrong?”
”Mother, my daughter can't understand this. What makes me lose the face of the Chu family?”
”At this point, you are still sophistry!” Wu's angry chest fluctuated. ”Yesterday, you seduced Gu Shizi in public and startled the eldest princess, but it happened!”
Wu was chatting with the family members yesterday. He didn't know what happened between Chu Zhi and Princess Pingyang. He just heard Chu wan say that Chu Zhi seduced Gu Shizi, and Mrs. Zheng and Miss Zheng were angry. He believed Chu Wan's words and decided that Chu Zhi was the first.
Chu Zhi was very angry and smiled back: ”the mother should ask the reason no matter how, but she believed her daughter's sin!”
”How dare you talk back!” Wu's angry hands shook.
