Chapter 31 (1/2)

Chu Xi's heart moved: ”mammy means...”

”No matter how heartache you feel, there is nothing you can do,” said mother Cui, ”What's more, a girl like Gu Shizi doesn't want to be happy? Can you guarantee that five girls don't have that idea? Since they want to marry Gu Shizi, why can't it be you? You are the wife's favorite daughter, and you have been appreciated by the eldest princess. You gave it to the palace man in person. This honor is the first one. Who can compare with you?”

Hearing this, Chu Xi nibbled at cherry lips, and her eyes were full of love.

Since she first met Gu Shizi, she was attracted by Gu Shizi's gentle and jade temperament. Especially when he looked at you, the corners of his mouth always had a shallow smile. His eyes were deep and could not see the edge, as if you were his most important person.

It's just that she never dreamed that she could have a relationship with Gu Shizi in the past, but now it's different. Mammy is right. She has been appreciated by the eldest princess. As long as she works hard at the pear blossom banquet, why can't she marry Gu Shizi as a concubine?

Thinking of this, Chu Xi was suddenly full of fighting spirit: she must not let Chu Zhi become a stumbling block on her way to success!

Then she asked mammy Cui, ”I don't know if mammy has any good way?”

Seeing that Chu Xi listened to her words, mother Cui was delighted. Then she fell in Chu Xi's ear and said softly, ”at that time, only you, girl...”

The words behind were getting smaller and smaller, hidden in Chu Xi's frightened and uncertain face.

After a long time, Chu Xi slowly said, ”this... This is too bold, in case something happens...”

”Girl, you're confused!” mother Cui said anxiously, ”I can't bear the child to trap the wolf, not to mention who can doubt that it's your pen?”

”What if Gu Shizi wants to...”

”Absolutely impossible!” mother Cui sighed. ”Princess Rui pays most attention to etiquette. At that time, she will only think that five girls are indiscreet. Just imagine, how can tangtangrui's house want a woman with bad morality to enter the house?”

Seeing Chu Xi's hesitation, mother Cui took a strong medicine: ”girl, if you are not cruel, others will be cruel to you in the future. Do you want to go back to the countryside and marry an old man of 50 or 60 to fill the house?”

Hearing the speech, Chu Xi's eyes twinkled and finally ruthlessly said, ”OK! I listen to mammy!”

Chu Xi did this for the first time. She had no bottom in her heart and didn't dare to see Chu Zhi. She had to hide from her.

Another day was the pear blossom banquet. On that day, accompanied by the servant girl, Chu Xi walked in the yard and met Chu Yan who had just returned to the house.

”Say hello to big brother.”

Chu Yan is unsmiling and old-fashioned. Chu Xi is still afraid of him.

In the past, Chu Yan nodded slightly and went straight away. This time, he took the initiative to speak.

”Six sisters.”

”Elder brother.” Chu Xi was a little surprised and asked carefully, ”you call me to say something?”

Chu Yan did not hide it and said directly, ”sixth sister, you have been favored by your mother. Your fifth sister has just returned to the house and suffered so many crimes. If you want to be considerate of her, instead of just wronging your fifth sister indiscriminately by your mother, have you ever thought about your fifth sister being driven out of the Begonia spring banquet by your mother?”

Chu Xi's face was pale, angry, angry and ashamed.

She didn't expect Chu Yan to say so, so she couldn't help choking: ”what does brother mean by this sentence? Does brother think it's my fault that sister five came back from the Begonia spring banquet?”
