Splendid Abandoned Wife

Chapter 89 Done
Ruqiu looked at Zhiruo in disbelief, and then glanced at Ji, but she happened to see the disgust flashing in Ji's eyes. Before she could recover, she heard Ji smiled dryly: "I also heard that your prostitutes and embroidery skills are particularly outstanding. I have long wanted to sell you a favor and ask the eldest daughter of your family for you. I don't want to have anything like what happened today. If I want you to be a maid again, I won't beat Lu. Big face? It will also damage the reputation of your girl, so I have to let you be the prince's concubine, which is also your blessing."

Ruqiu was naturally happy to get the confirmation she wanted, but Ji's words made her feel awkward. Did he just want her to be a maid?And what's the reason for that disgust?Do you dislike her because she was born as a maid and is not worthy of being Prince Qiu's concubine?Or is it because she is useless, that she has not been able to help Qiu Shizi to plot against the girl for so long?

Suddenly, Ruqiu thought about what Zhiruo had just said, apart from her wish to be a concubine in the Qingyuan Hou Mansion, there was other information.No more connection with Qingyuanhou Mansion?Also includes her, the "concubine of Qingyuan Hou Mansion"?What did the girl talk about with Mrs. Qiu?What agreement was reached to sever contact?Ruqiu shuddered violently, then why should she win the favor of Prince Qiu and Mrs. Qiu in the future?Or would they even be angry with her?
At this moment, Magpie came in with two pieces of paper: "Girl, this is the contract written by the young master in accordance with the intention that Sister Ruchun asked the slave to convey."

Zhiruo took it and quickly looked through it, then asked Ruchun to hand it to Ji.She had written the manuscript a long time ago and left it with Mingze. Mingze just copied it once, so it looked like the ink was fresh and still smelled of ink.

Ji looked at it carefully, and even though she was angry, she had to secretly marvel.I had heard before that although Yin Mingze was not in good health, he was very smart and talented in literature. He was admitted as a scholar when he was less than 13 years old. Now it seems that it is really remarkable. The contract is very simple and clear at a glance, but the theme is clear and the wording is rigorous. , there are absolutely no loopholes or loopholes to exploit.

The contract stated that it was Mrs. Qingyuan Hou who personally came to ask for Ruqiu, the embroiderer. Zhiruo thought of the old friendship between the two old masters and sent Ruqiu to Qingyuanhou Mansion. As for Ruqiu being a maid, an embroiderer, Whether she is a concubine or not is a matter for the Qingyuan Hou Mansion and has nothing to do with Zhiruo and Meizhuang.From then on, the two families severed all ties and did not disturb each other.

In other words, after signing this contract, it will be difficult for Qiu Yiran or anyone from the Qiu family to come to Meizhuang on the pretext of being concerned or worried. It will be even more difficult to plot against Yin Zhiruo.

Ji Shi said sarcastically: "Girl Ruo, does this have to be the case? Is it too serious to break up the friendship? Although you and Yi'er have reconciled, our Qiu family is still willing to help you if you need anything."

Severe love and righteousness?Ruqiu was startled.Sure enough, the girl really had to sign a contract to sever all contact with the Qiu family, which meant that she would not be able to come to Meizhuang for a "walk" in the future.

In a hurry, Ruqiu couldn't help blurting out: "Girl, no, no matter what, the Qingyuan Marquis Mansion can speak for itself in Luo City."

Zhiruo frowned again: "It's getting more and more unruly. When will it be your turn to decide whether to take my business? Even if you may become the concubine of the prince of Qingyuan Houfu in ten days, in my Meizhuang, She’s just a slave and an embroiderer.”

Although Zhiruo's voice was soft, his words were very serious.Not only was Ruqiu dumbfounded, but even Ji and Mrs. Qin felt something was strange.However, there is nothing wrong with this statement. Isn't Ruqiu the embroiderer and slave of the Yin family?Ever since I was a kid!

Mrs. Qin sighed secretly, and quietly pulled Ji, reminding her to sign and leave. If she stayed a little longer, she would just be more angry and bring humiliation to herself. She had to sign the contract today, otherwise if Yin Zhiruo agreed to Lu tomorrow, With such a big marriage proposal, the Qingyuan Hou Mansion is likely to suffer even greater humiliation in the future.

After Zhiruo scolded Ruqiu, he regained his polite smile when he turned to Ji: "Thank you very much, Mrs. Qiu, for your kindness, but I rejected Daming Lu's legitimate request to marry Ruqiu, and instead gave Ruqiu to your Hou Mansion. Outsiders don't know, but they think I want to cling to the Qingyuan Marquis' Mansion. How unfair is this? It's better to declare our severance, as it will be beneficial to both of us."

How unjust?Unjustly accused of what?Did she insult the daughter of a traitor by clinging to the Marquis of Qingyuan's mansion?Ji was so angry that she gritted her teeth.Unexpectedly, at this moment, a woman outside the door came to announce: "Miss, there are people from Beijing. They are sent by Prince Jing's Mansion and Tie Mansion to deliver New Year's gifts. The girl has guests here, Aunt Qiang will greet you two first. The mother in charge went to have dinner and said she would come back to see the girl later."

Zhiruo was secretly surprised. It was expected that Tiefu would send someone to deliver the New Year's gift, but it was really unexpected that Prince Jing's Mansion also sent someone.Although Prince Jing had mentioned that he would ask the princess to send people over often so that people would know that Prince Jing was taking care of Meizhuang, Zhiruo only thought that it was just a polite word.Of course, she had prepared the annual gift for Prince Jing's Mansion.

In any case, it is always a good thing that Prince Jing's Mansion has such intentions, especially when the person giving the New Year's gift arrives at such a coincidence that Ji will bump into him personally.

"Well," Zhiruo responded easily, "It's too cold for them. Let the kitchen prepare some warm wine and add hot pot to everyone who comes." Everyone came out to give New Year's gifts, except for the housekeeper. There are at least three or five people left, so the two mansions combined have about ten people.And Zhiruo estimated that when he came to Luo City to give New Year's gifts, it would definitely be more than just her family. It was just because of Tie Muyuan's friendship with their Yin family that he came to Meizhuang first, and of course he lived in Meizhuang.

The woman hurriedly replied: "Yes, I heard that the powerful steward has given this order, and is making arrangements for their accommodation. They have added charcoal basins and thick quilts."

Zhiruo nodded. With Uncle Qiang and Uncle Qi here, she didn't need to worry about these things at all.Zhiruo was naturally relaxed, but Ji and Ruqiu were panicking.

This was the first time Ruqiu heard that Prince Jing’s Mansion had contact with his own girl. How could it be possible?When the general and the princess were still there, Prince Jing's Mansion and General Zhenbei's Mansion didn't seem to be so close, right?Why now...

Ji was confused for a moment. Was God specifically against her?She was murmuring that if Yin Zhiruo was the daughter of a traitor, he should go after their Qiu family. Then the person from Prince Jing's Mansion who was giving New Year's gifts was here?If people climb up to Prince Jing's Mansion, of course they don't need to take their Prince Qingyuan's Mansion seriously.

Silently, Ji took the brush handed over by Ruchun and signed her name on two copies of the contract.As soon as she put down the pen, a box of ink pads was placed on the table in front of her. It was obvious that she was asked to make a fingerprint.

It's not a business, how much money is involved, is it necessary to be so formal?Ji was about to open her mouth to resist, but when she looked up, she saw that Zhiruozai had put her fingerprints under her name on another contract. She had to grind her teeth hard and also put a big red fingerprint on it.

Zhiruo gave the portion he had saved to Ruchun to put away, and smiled in a good mood: "Mrs. Qiu, would you like some snacks first? It will take half an hour to go back to Qingyuan Hou Mansion from here."

"No need, we're waiting at the house." Ms. Ji snorted coldly, not wanting to take another look at Zhiruo's bright smile. Such a smile made her even more angry. The silly and naive Yin Zhiruo in the past was always... He was smiling so heartlessly.

Zhiruo didn't mind Ji's cold attitude and said with a smile: "Madam, please go slowly. Zhiruo won't see her off. Ruqiu, you see off Mrs. Qiu for me."

Just as Ruqiu was about to agree, Mrs. Ji said coolly: "No, just the old woman who led the way just now can lead us. She knows where our carriage is parked." She was always agitated. She was so angry that she wanted to face that fox all the way. She was afraid that she might not be able to bear it anymore.

Zhiruo didn't force it, and said very considerately: "Xie Ge, you can also send it to me. If Mrs. Qiu needs anything, I can help you in time."

As long as it wasn't Ruqiu, Mrs. Ji didn't refuse anymore and just sent it off with a rough messenger. She was indeed too shameless. This magpie seemed to be Yin Zhiruo's confidant maid.

The magpie led Mrs. Ji and Mrs. Qin out. As soon as they walked out of the courtyard, they met Rudong carrying a food box.Rudong recognized Ji from a distance at first glance and became furious. Naturally, he could not be more respectful. He just lowered his head and stepped aside as if meeting ordinary guests. He waited until the two of Ji passed by her before asking. Said: "Magpie, is the girl free now?"

As soon as she heard that the visitor was Mrs. Qingyuan Hou, she ran to the small kitchen to test the girl's new double-skinned milk recipe. Facing the ungrateful Qiu family who were bent on scheming against the girl, she was afraid that she would not be able to put on a good face. Ruined the girl's business.

But now, haha, looking at the ugly constipated look on Ji's face, the girl must have gotten what she wanted, and she doesn't have to care whether the bad woman is happy or not.As long as you don't break the etiquette, give Ji a reason, and damage the girl's reputation, that's fine.If you want her to come forward to please you, bah, she is not as mean as Ru Qiu.

Ji recognized Rudong as the maid who was accompanying Zhiruo, but she looked like she didn't recognize who she was. The anger that had just been suppressed came up again, and she was about to explode, but Mrs. Qin pulled her away. Then he held his breath and continued to move forward.After taking a few steps, Mrs. Qin whispered: "Madam, there is no need to argue with a maid at this time." It is right for a maidservant from a wealthy family to duck her head and avoid a guest on the road. To argue with a maid who did not recognize her, If you don't go forward and curry favor, spreading the word will only make people laugh.What's more, the Qiu family now has a request from Yin Zhiruo, so it is really the next best thing to make a fuss over such a trivial matter at this time.

After Rudong got the magpie's nod to confirm that the girl was free, she walked in happily. She succeeded in making double-skinned milk for the first time. She took a portion and gave it to the girl to pad her belly first for appetizer.Even if she believed that the girl would lose her appetite when facing that Ji family.
