Qin Ji was silent for a moment.The atmosphere of the room was like a taut bow, tense and solemn, with an unsettling atmosphere.It didn't take long for Qin Xi to speak casually: "Changlan, when you go to meet the eldest sister, you will say that she owes me a favor in Peach Blossom Mountain, and ask her to send the ninth sister over to talk to me." ”Changlan took the order and left.The fifth aunt breathed a sigh of relief, lowered her head and said, "Thank you, fourth girl, really, thank you" "Fifth aunt." ”Qin Xi stared at the blue and white patterns on the tea cup with constricted eyes, and her voice was so light that she couldn't hear any emotion, "Although I'm a bit lazy by nature, I'm actually very good at talking." ”The fifth aunt nodded again and again: "Yes, yes, the fourth girl is a bodhisattva heart" "Bodhisattva heart?
”Qin Xi pursed her lips and smiled coldly and sneered, "The fifth aunt is wrong, I am for the sake of the ninth sister's young age, so I am willing to lend a hand, and it has nothing to do with the bodhisattva's heart."
On the contrary, I am a very ruthless person, and I am very cautious and love to hold grudges. ”The fifth aunt swallowed.Although she had also looked at her face in the courtyard of the deep mansion for so many years, Qin Xi's words at this time made her feel uneasy for no reason."
Four, the fourth girl said she laughed" Su Yi glanced at her expressionlessly, laughing?
And I don't have any friendship, who has time to laugh with you?"
No jokes."
Qin Xidao turned her head to look out the window, and Changlan led Xiao Jiu of the Qin family over, "No, Xiao Jiu is here, the fifth aunt will take her back." ”As soon as the words fell, Changlan led the eleven-year-old Qin Tong over."
Take her back?"
The fifth aunt was surprised, "But didn't the girl say to stay here and talk to you?"
”Qin Xi raised her eyebrows: "Fifth Aunt wants to keep her here?"
”"I" the fifth aunt was a little cramped, "It's not, it's just that I'm soft-spoken, I'm afraid that I won't be able to protect Xiao Jiu, and I want her to stay here with the fourth girl for a while." ”"Miss."
Changlan walked in.Behind him was an eleven-year-old girl, dressed in a blue cloth skirt, with a little pale and frightened on her delicate little face, like a frightened bird, looking really pitiful.Qin Xi said lightly: "I came back very quickly, eldest sister didn't embarrass you?"
”"Nope."
Changlan shook her head, "After the eldest lady listened to the words conveyed by the slave maid, her expression was not very good-looking, but she was not embarrassed, and soon let the ninth girl and the slave come over." ”Qin Ji hummed casually: "Fifth aunt, take Xiao Jiu back." ”"Fourth sister!"
With a plop, the girl knelt down in front of Qin Xi, her pale face was full of pleading: "Please take me in with the fourth sister!"
”The room fell silent.Qin Xi looked at her without saying a word.The girl raised her hand tremblingly, and her left hand lifted the sleeve of her right hand, and the hideous red and swollen scars were clearly visible on the girl's thin and white wrists, which was shocking."
Fourth sister" The girl's voice trembled and shattered, her eyes were red, and her thin body trembled for a while, "The eldest sister whipped me with a whip, and pricked me with a needle, I was afraid, I didn't dare to go back, begged the fourth sister to take me in" Su Yi stared at the miserable girl in front of her in surprise.Although she already knew that Qin Jingshu was not as dignified and elegant as she appeared on the outside, but in the end, she was a weak lady who did such a cruel thing to her sister??
Qin Ji put down the teacup unhurriedly, and said lightly: "Qin Xiaojiu, you should learn to protect yourself." ”
