Sugar Jar [Rebirth]

Xi Xin hugged Yuanyuan and waited in the gazebo, which was closest to the general's mansion, so it was very convenient for him to listen to the situation there.But he only heard a commotion, and the mansion seemed to be turned upside down, in a panic.After waiting, it suddenly became silent again, and there was no movement at all.

He looked sideways slightly, frowning.

What just happened?

Yuanyuan lay in Xi Xin's arms, squinting her eyes comfortably, then seemed to notice the master's distraction, it suddenly stretched out its paws and scratched his clothes slightly.

Xi Xin lowered her head, held its little paw helplessly, and persuaded softly, "Don't make trouble."

He looked at the thread that was hooked by the kitten on the clothes, a short one, and he couldn't notice it unless he paid close attention.

"Look at the good things you did." Xi Xin complained softly, but her eyes were full of smiles.

He sighed, there was nothing he could do with this little guy, he seemed crazy when he got up, and he couldn't stop him.

On the side of the General's Mansion, the eldest lady is stern but still insisting: "Shi Chen, if word of what you did in the General's Mansion gets out..."

She wanted to use Xi Xin's affairs to beat and anger Shi Chen, so that Lin could see his son's thoughts clearly, but she didn't want to be in such a mess like today, everything is in the hands of others.

Shi Chen chuckled, took the whip in his hand, and whipped it casually, causing a certain piece of porcelain in the room to shatter in an instant.

He asked: "Do you think today's events can be passed on?"

The eldest lady turned cold, and asked, "What do you mean?!"

"Retire." A woman's elegant and calm voice came from outside. As soon as her voice came out, the servants guarding outside immediately retreated obediently.

As soon as the eldest lady heard the familiar tone, her face changed instantly. Didn't Mrs. Jiang stay in that quiet courtyard all the time and never show up easily?

She glared at Shi Chen, "It's you!"

Shi Chen didn't answer, looked at Shi Lin and the other person who were walking towards him, clasped his fists slightly, and said to his elder brother, "Thank you."

Shi Lin shook his head lightly, "It's a trivial matter."

The room suddenly became very quiet, the eldest lady stared at the visitor with a pale face, and looked away bitterly.

She has always been jealous of this noble daughter-in-law, but the two have never interfered with each other, Jiang never had any thoughts of fighting for power, so she lived in peace with her.She knew that this daughter-in-law could not understand the way things were done in the house, and even when she wanted to take over Jinyu Jinzhi and raise her under her knees, the eldest daughter-in-law even directly rejected her proposal.

Shi Jinzhi has always been raised by Mrs. Jiang's side, and is not close to her grandmother.Food, clothing, housing, transportation, and even enlightenment and learning, the General's Mansion has no room to intervene.

"What are you doing?" she asked angrily.

"Mother is unwell, so my daughter-in-law came here to see." Jiang Ruyi smiled lightly, her voice soft and slow, as if she didn't see the mess in the house.

Since she came over, Shi Chen directly put away the soft whip, and stood aside to watch the play.

"Where am I sick?" Da Furen retorted, suddenly realized something was wrong, and suddenly looked at her, "You!"

Jiang Ruyi walked towards her slowly, followed by the maidservant behind her, in order to listen to her master's orders.

"Mother, you are sick." Her eyes were light and her tone was still gentle, "If you didn't have an illness, how could you be so confused?"

"What nonsense are you talking about!" Da Furen screamed, Shi Jinyu who was in her arms was suddenly frightened and trembled.

Jiang Ruyi looked at the two brothers Shi Lin, and before she could speak, the two of them immediately understood and offered to leave.

She nodded slightly.

The Da Furen stopped her and said: "You can't leave! You guys came here to provoke and turn the mansion upside down, do you really want to leave like this?"

Jiang Ruyi gave her a strange look, "Mother, what are you talking about? Lin'er and Chen'er are just here to visit you when you are sick."

A chill spread from his bones, and the eldest lady looked at her in disbelief.

Shi Chen and Shi Lin had already left at this time.

"Since mother is ill, please stay in the room to rest and recuperate for a while." She winked at the people, who immediately came over and separated her from Shi Jinyu.

Shi Jinyu seemed to be sluggish, and let them pull him away.

"You are going to rebel, and they will not let you go when they come back!" The eldest lady struggled hard.

"Let it go?" Jiang Ruyi smiled slightly, but the smile in her eyes didn't see the end, "I've been married here, so why did I come up with the word 'let it go'?"

"I don't care about fame and power, but if you want to implicate my children, I will show you what it means to be a real dead fish!"

She looked at the servants at the side, and then led Shi Jinyu out, "I'll leave this place to you."

The house was opened and closed again.

Jiang Ruyi looked at the child beside him, and seeing that he didn't respond, she couldn't help sighing.

This child, I'm afraid he was really abandoned by his grandmother.

She bent down and said softly to Shi Jinyu: "Jinyu, grandma is sick, please rest well. If you have nothing to do in the future, try not to disturb her, understand?"

He nodded blankly.

Jiang Ruyi patted his head, "Good boy, spend more time with your mother, she has not been easy all these years."

"Auntie," Shi Jinyu suddenly looked up and looked at her, "Grandmother did something wrong, so she should be punished?"

Jiang Ruyi was slightly taken aback.

He tugged at the corner of his clothes uneasily, "I didn't like Shi Chen and the others before, and felt that because of them, my grandfather couldn't inherit the title. But now..."

Especially today, when his grandmother took him to the Hou's mansion to try to hurt an innocent creature, Shi Jinyu suddenly felt that all his previous cognitions seemed to be broken one by one.

"Your Excellency is confused, the future of the General's Mansion depends entirely on you and Jinzhi." When mentioning his child, Jiang's cold brows and eyes softened a lot.

"I, I will work hard." He whispered but seriously.

Jiang stood up and smiled: "Go, your mother is waiting for you."

Ever since her mother-in-law took Shi Jinyu over, her younger brother and sister had hardly been with their children for a long time.

Shi Jinyu nodded, and then ran away happily.

Jiang Ruyi still stood where she was, and not long after, her servants came back.

"Is it all over?" she asked.

A servant girl replied: "Please rest assured, Young Madam, everything has been arranged."

She looked up and looked to the sky.

"I'll give you an order. My mother is ill, and I'm afraid she won't be able to handle the affairs of the house, so I will handle the matter of taking charge of the central government."

After Shi Chen went back, he was fined as expected.

At this time, he was in the study, looking at the scriptures in front of him with a headache. He suspected that his mother had moved all the Buddhist scriptures with many words in the Zangshu Pavilion here, and it was a good name for calming down.

Compared to Shi Chen's troubles, Xi Xin looked through the scriptures on the table with a curious expression.

He had never seen many of them before. When the day of Buddha's Nirvana was approaching, Mrs. Shi asked Guanshi Zhang to bring them, and they were all relatively short scriptures that contained Buddhist principles.

And the pile in front of him doesn't seem to be easy.

Sure enough, a mother knows her son best. The more he is afraid of something, the more she will use to punish him.

Xi Xin looked at Shi Chen with sympathy in his eyes.

"Did Madam say when the copying will be finished?" Xi Xin asked him.

Shi Chen's face turned pale and green, and he struggled to say two words: "Three days."

three days?

Xi Xin's eyes widened, and she looked around at a pile of thick scriptures in front of her. They were piled up in one place, almost blocking their entire sight.

Xi Xin patted him on the shoulder reassuringly, "Come on."

Then he thought about it, and added: "I believe you can do it."

But Shi Chen hugged him into his arms, rubbed Xi Xin's head, and asked, "Are you secretly having fun in your heart, huh?"

Xi Xin broke free from his embrace, wrinkled her nose, and said seriously: "No!"

But not long after, I saw Xi Xin hesitate again, stretched out her finger and said: "Just, a little bit."

He made a small cut.

Shi Chen was amused by his serious emphasis, "I just said it casually, but you really think so."

Xi Xin glanced at him, then sat up straight, and put away the inkstone beside her.

When he was flipping through the things at hand, Shi Chen had sharp eyes and saw a few paintings at a glance.

"What is this?" Shi Chen took two paintings to his hand, one painted a kitten, and the other painted a woman.

The kitten's drawing is naturally round, Shi Chen felt sore in his heart, and muttered: "A human is not as good as a cat."

But when he saw the face of the person in another painting, he was really surprised.

"This is?" He looked at Xi Xin.

Xi Xin brought back the two paintings and put them away properly. Hearing Shi Chen's words, she gave him a strange look: "Is this Mrs. Shi? Don't you even know your own mother?"

"I recognize it!" Shi Chen said, "It's just how did you draw this?"

Xi Xin explained: "A few days ago I was at the lotus pond, drawing pictures for Yuanyuan."

Hearing this, Shi Chen couldn't help muttering: "You have such a good relationship with it."

Xi Xin didn't hear clearly: "What did you say?"

Shi Chen: "No, I mean, what then?"

"Madam happened to pass by there, and after seeing it, she asked me to draw her a picture. I didn't bring enough paints with me at that time. After I finished painting, I brought it back and colored it. I will give this to Madam tomorrow. "Xi Xin said, and then happily said: "Madam also said that I draw beautifully, and I am very talented!"

Mrs. Shi came from a scholarly family, and being able to get a compliment from her shows that Xi Xin is indeed extremely talented in this area.

A smile appeared in Shi Chen's eyes: "Of course, Xi Xin is very knowledgeable."

Hearing this, Xi Xin raised her eyebrows at him, and said softly and seriously, "Of course."

The amber eyes seem to reveal light, a starry sky is dotted in these eyes, and they always look so bright and dazzling.

Shi Chen couldn't help reaching out to touch the corner of his eyes.

Xi Xin blinked and looked at him puzzled.

Shi Chen's hand slowly moved upwards, gently touching Xi Xin's eyes, and his fingertips touched the long eyelashes.

Xi Xin blinked again almost subconsciously, "It's so itchy."

His voice is soft and waxy, like sweet candy.

Shi Chen withdrew his hand, then smiled, "Just now, I seemed to see starlight falling in your eyes."

Xi Xin tilted her head, looking even more puzzled.

"Are you trying to say I have nice eyes?" he asked.

Before Shi Chen could answer, he nodded in approval: "I also think my eyes are pretty."

Shi Chen couldn't help being even more happy: "Yes, yes, what Xi Xin said is right."

"Meow!" The kitten under the table also replied, as if agreeing with someone's words.

The author has something to say:

Shi Chen: When can I confess?
