Chapter 2 two

They have a telephone here, installed in the main room.One afternoon, the phone rang, and Xiao Ai happened to pass by the main room, but no one came to answer it, so she had to go to answer it. It was a man's voice, asking the master to answer the phone.Xiao Ai went to Concubine Yi's room to talk. Jing Fan just woke up and was shaving his beard there. After finishing shaving, just now he came out with slippers on and picked up the receiver.Unexpectedly, the other side couldn't wait, and maybe they thought the phone was disconnected, and they had already hung up.Jing Fan said: "Hey, why is there no one?" Then he called Xiao Ai and asked, "Who called just now?"

Xiao Ai said: "He didn't say it." Jing Fan said: "Fart! He didn't say it, why didn't you ask? - You don't know how to answer the phone, who told you to listen?" While cursing, he walked up and kicked her.Xiao Ai was full of grievances and couldn't help crying.Mrs. Fifth heard it in the room, and felt that if she stayed silent, she seemed to be protecting the girl, and it would be embarrassing for Xiao Ai to embarrass her in front of Concubine Yi's servants, so she rushed When he came out of the room, he even called Xiao Ai a few times, and said sharply, "You are not allowed to listen to any calls next time! You have delayed everything!" Just as he was talking, the phone rang again. It was the phone call just now. Someone called again and invited Jing Fan to eat flower wine.That night, Jing Fan had promised the two wives to go to the theater with them, and had already reserved a box, but it turned out that Concubine Yi and Mrs. Fifth went by themselves.

The house they rented was shared by two families, and another family lived in the back yard. This family had a new death and was doing Buddhist rituals there that night. The maids in Concubine Yi's room knew that she would not come back until very late when she went out to watch the theater, and that Jing Fan had also gone out. They figured that he would only come back later, so they took this opportunity to slip out and go to the back Went to watch the excitement.Mother Tao never liked to hang out with them.Today is also an exception, she is a person who eats vegetarian food and recites Buddha, so she also went to see the flame mouth.

Xiao Ai was the only one left in the house. Before leaving, Tao Ma left a message and asked her to seal the stove in the fifth wife's room.She took a large dustpan of coal into it, cleaned out the ashes in the stove, then filled it up with crushed coal, and made the fifth wife's bed.As long as she is alone, she is always very happy, the room is quiet, only the ticking of the pendulum can be heard, she can almost imagine that this is her own home, and she is working for herself. Chinese New Year is approaching, and as usual, each branch of a pot of daffodils on the table must be wrapped in red paper.

She picked up the scissors, cut out the red paper, wrapped it around the narcissus stalk, and glued it with a little paste.The lights in the room were dim, the city's electric lights perpetually underpowered, a dim reddish-yellow.The northwest wind roared outside the window, and the carved window lattices rattled. Jing Fan is back.He originally came out from the banquet, so he went to sit with a girl he knew with two friends, but for some reason, he offended him, and he believed that she must have a pretty face in the room over there, so he immediately got angry. He left, and returned home heartlessly in a car.Walking into the courtyard gate, the corridor was lit with lights, but it was pitch black when he saw the upper room, and then he remembered that Concubine Yi and Mrs. Fifth had gone to the theater, presumably all the mothers went somewhere to gamble, and he became more and more worried. A little restless.He didn't come often to Mrs. Fifth's side. Seeing that there was a yellow light shining through the window paper in a room here, Jing Fan walked over and lifted the cotton curtain.Xiao Ai was taken aback, and said in a low voice: "Master is back." Jing Fan said: "Where did everyone go? Why did my wife go to the theater, and these people ran away without a trace! "Xiao Ai said: "I'll go ask Mama Tao." Jing Fan frowned and said, "No need—the stove is off? Why is it so cold in this room?" Xiao Ai hurriedly opened the door on the stove. Now, let the fire grow hotter, and poke with some pokers.

She bowed her head to poke the fire, her short-cropped hair fell over her cheeks, and in her hair was a fake enamel lamellar brooch, a small emerald blue phoenix.Jing Fan glanced at her occasionally, but felt a twitch in his heart.With his hands upside down, he walked back and forth by the stove for a few steps, then sat down on the bed, and said, "Bring a toothpick." He took the toothpick, lowered his head and pouted his mouth to pick it carefully Grinding his teeth, his eyes just stared at her.Xiao Ai felt that the expression in his eyes was very strange, and couldn't help but jump up in his heart, and then his face flushed.But on the one hand, she felt that her vague fear was unreasonable. She never wanted to see herself as good-looking, and no one had ever told her about it.Moreover, the master has always been very fierce to her, and even beat her this afternoon.

Jing Fan raised his arms and half stretched his waist. He leaned back and fell on the bed, saying, "Come and take off my shoes." There is an oily sheen, like wax.The mouth is black and gaping open, where he picks his teeth.Xiao Ai stood behind a chair with her hands on the back of the chair, and seemed to hesitate for a while, then she walked over quickly and squatted down to take off his shoes for him.His slender feet were wearing snow-green silk stockings, and the soles of his feet were cold and slightly damp.He suddenly asked, "How old are you?" Xiao Ai didn't make a sound.Jing Fan smiled and said: "Why don't you talk? Huh?...Why are you always so afraid when you see me?" Xiao Ai still didn't say anything, stood up straight, and walked towards the door.Jing Fan looked at her but smiled, and then suddenly said in a heavy voice, "Go and pour me a cup of tea!" Xiao Ai stopped, but did not turn around, and walked to the chest of drawers , picked up a teacup from the tray, put some tea brine on it, poured boiling water on it, and brought it over, and put it on a coffee table in front of the bed.But Jing Fan stretched out his hand and said, "Huh? Bring it to me!" Xiao Ai had to send it to him, but instead of picking up the tea, he pulled her hand, and the tea spilled on the mattress.

In her panic and confusion, she still couldn't forget that this was a foreign porcelain teacup specially for the master to drink tea from. It was a terrible thing to smash it. She tried to protect the teacup with both hands while struggling with him.Jing Fan giggled angrily. The lights were a dull reddish-yellow. When it was nearly midnight, the electricity was sufficient, and the electric lights were turned on. The room was brightly illuminated, but there was no sound.Tao Ma pushed open the door and looked inside, and saw Jing Fan sleeping soundly on the bed with the curtains not down, she thought to herself that he was late today, and she didn't know when he would come back.She gently closed the door, and retreated out, guessing that Mrs. Fifth would be back soon, and she had to go to the kitchen to see how the ham and porridge was stewed, and they wanted supper when they came back from watching the show. .

The kitchen was far away from the upper room, Tao Ma walked along the long corridor, and saw that the front and back houses were all dark, and the other maids were still watching other people doing Buddhist rituals next door.Didn't come back, Tao Ma came back first.She tucked her hands under the padded jacket, walked quickly with her neck shrunk, a gust of cold wind blew, her body shivered tremblingly as if she was naked.The courtyard was dark and gloomy, and I could hear the monk next door chanting scriptures from a distance. The trembling and murmuring tones were mixed with mysterious Hindi words. It seems to cover half of the sky, and I just feel lost when I listen to it, and there is a strange sadness.Tao Ma came here for some reason at this time, and suddenly remembered that there was a new death next door.Thinking about it this way, I was a little scared, but I heard a whimpering sound, as if someone was crying in the darkness, and my hair couldn't help but stand on end.The more frightened she was, the less she dared to stay. She boldly walked forward and walked a few more steps. Then she could hear the voice coming from the opposite room where they lived. There was no one else here, so Xiao Ai must be sleeping there.

Immediately Tao Ma regained her composure, she walked over and pushed the door open, and turned on the light, she saw Xiao Ai lying on the bed, but her crying had stopped, but she still had some twitches in her rush. the sound of.Tao Ma said loudly: "Xiao Ai! Are you sleepy?Madam and the others are coming back, why don't you get up? "Just as she was talking, Mama Liu was already calling to her from afar in the corridor: "I'm back, I'm back!" " Tao Ma yelled at Xiao Ai again: "Madam is back, don't get up yet!" She turned around and walked to the room in a hurry.

Fifth wife came back from watching the play, and went to her room with Concubine Yi.Tao Ma also went to attend to Concubine Yi's room, and helped Mrs. Fifth take off a black velvet cloak with a gray back collar and put it on her arm, and then said: "The master is already asleep." The fifth wife and Yifei heard this, but they all glanced at the bed at the same time, but there was no one on the bed.It turned out to be sleeping in the room over there.Everyone felt that it was quite unexpected, Yi Fei was naturally a little unhappy in her heart, and said: "When did the master come back? You're already asleep so early?" Tao Ma said, "I didn't even hear the master came back." The fifth wife felt a little embarrassed, she didn't plan to sit here for a long time when she came to Concubine Yi. It was inconvenient and he left right away, because he chatted up Tao Ma and said with a smile: "I'm hungry! Is the ham porridge ready? Bring it here to eat, and pick some pickles." Then he smiled to Concubine Yi: "You Eat something, too?" Tao Ma went to the kitchen and brought a pot of ham porridge and two porridge dishes on a tray, where Yifei's maid had already set out the bowls and chopsticks, and the two sat opposite each other. After eating porridge and chatting for a while, the fifth wife just went back to her room. Both Mama Tao and Mama Liu came into the room to wait on her. Mama Liu brought water to prepare Mrs. Fifth to wash her face. Although they were walking on tiptoe quietly, Jing Fan was awakened, and she opened her eyes to have a look.Mrs. Fifth smiled and said, "Are you awake? Why did you sleep so early today?" She was a little worried, thinking that he might be sick. Jing Fan didn't say anything.The fifth wife said: "It's good to have ham porridge, do you want to eat it?" After a while, Jing Fan lazily replied: "It's good to have some." Fifth wife turned around.Suddenly saw Xiao Ai coming, standing next to the door, and did not come in.The fifth wife couldn't help getting angry and said: "Why haven't I seen your shadow for a long time since I came back? You just let Tao Mama do things here, so you don't care?" But in front of Jing Fan, she always refused to scold the servant very much, so as not to It seemed obvious that she was too fierce and lost her ladylike demeanor, so she said this twice, and it was fine, just said: "Go! Go and bring the porridge to the master!" Xiao Ai went out without saying a word, with a pale face.Then she came in with a tray in her hand, brought in a bowl of porridge, and walked towards the bed. She lowered her eyes and did not look at him, but her heart was like boiling water. Spit out a mouthful of blood and spray it on his face.She approached step by step, put down the tray, and put it beside the pillow. Jing Fan lay on his side, picked up a spoon and brought it to his mouth.His eyes accidentally shot onto her face, but they were cold, as if he didn't know her.For Xiao Ai, it was another kind of stimulation, as if someone had been slapped on the ear out of thin air, and she felt unspeakably uncomfortable, although she didn't understand why. With more than half a bowl of porridge left, Jing Fan put down the spoon, pushed the tray, and fell asleep.Mrs. Fifth quickly said, "Bring me a towel handle for the master." Xiao Ai wiped a towel and handed it over. It was a cold day, and the hot water brought from the kitchen was cold quickly, and poured from the pot to the washbasin. It's not too hot here.Jing Fan took the towel and said, "It's not hot at all!" He threw it away, and the towel fell to the ground.Mrs. Wu frowned and said to Xiao Ai: "You have no memory! You need to burn it!" Seeing that she was still in a daze, he reminded her again: "Won't you pour some boiling water in the thermos?" Xiao Ai poured out the water in the washbasin, and then poured some water in the thermos, and inserted her red and swollen hands with chilblain into the boiling water. In a daze, as if she herself was another person.Mrs. Fifth took the handle of the hot towel and handed it to Jing Fan herself. Xiao Ai took out the washbasin, the porridge bowl and the tray, closed the door, and Mrs. Fifth went to clean up and sleep. carry. The Chinese New Year is only a few days away, and Jing Fan always gambles heavily during the first month of the lunar year, and it seems that his interest in gambling has become stronger and stronger since the beginning.Until February and March, they still often gambled heavily.One day a visitor came to the house to play cards at Concubine Yi's side. Jing Fan stayed up all night pushing Pai Gow the night before, and wanted to catch up on a good night's sleep. He thought the room was too noisy, so he talked to Mrs. Fifth. go to sleep.Mrs. Fifth was sitting under the table playing cards, and Mama Tao was also serving beside her, so Mrs. Fifth turned her head and told her, telling her to follow and put down the curtains for him.Tao Ma first said, "Xiao Ai is there." Then she went.Before he reached the door of the fifth wife's room, he saw Xiao Ai running straight out from the room, and happened to bump into her, as if he was embarrassed, he didn't care to say anything to her, and just ran away.Seeing this situation, Tao Ma understood a little bit, and didn't dare to go in at that time, because the master was probably angry there, so she didn't make the mistake of touching his anger. She thought about it, and then walked back. Mama Liu was washing clothes in the small yard behind. Mama Tao couldn't help but tell her what happened just now. Hearing her coming, he ran away.Mama Liu was stunned for a while, and then said: "Oh, why is Xiao Ai throwing up after eating these two days? Don't you feel sick?... Maybe our master." The two of them were just discussing in private. The servants on Tao Ma and Concubine Yi's side never said a word, but Mama Liu was probably more open-mouthed. For some reason, these words spread quickly to other places, and naturally there were people there. She showed her courtesy and went to tell Concubine Yi. The fifth wife played cards all night, so she got up very late the next day, and was combing her hair in the afternoon, when she suddenly heard Concubine Yi swearing loudly, she couldn't listen carefully even though she was separated by a few rooms, as if she heard a sentence: " Shameless! I don’t have the skills, so ask a girl to seduce the master!” Tao Ma stood behind the fifth wife, combing her hair, and heard the scolding of "shameless" and "shameless", knowing where it was Scolding Mrs. Fifth, I can't help but change my appearance.The fifth wife didn't know where she was, and asked with a smile: "What is she scolding there?" Mother Tao sighed softly, then lowered her voice, bent down and whispered in her ear, "I was about to tell my wife, lest you get angry— —Yesterday you were playing cards over there. I saw the master came here to take a nap. I followed up to see if I had to pull up the curtain. I didn’t know that Xiao Ai was in the room. The master was flirting with her. Later she saw When I came, I ran out quickly. Looking at it like this, I’m afraid it’s been more than a day....This girl, at such an old age, how could she have thought that she would be so broken! She’s really a big kid!" The fifth wife was so angry that she couldn't speak, she just murmured and repeated: "Call her here!" Tao's mother went to call Xiaoai, but the fifth wife didn't comb her hair well. Zi's ​​face was swollen, and his hair was tied in one hand, so he stood up and hit him face-to-face shamelessly, saying: "Shameless thing, brought you to Nanjing, you are embarrassing to me! What the hell is going on?" Tell me! Tell me! If you don’t tell me, I’ll kill you!” She only hated that her arms were so weak from anger, and that the beating wasn’t hard enough. She picked up a red leather-soled embroidered shoe from the bed, and split the sole of it. Pi Pa Pa slapped Xiao Ai's face. Although Xiao Ai dodged left and right, with her arms across her face, blood was already dripping from the corners of her eyes and mouth, but she was immediately washed away by tears, and her tears gushed out like spring water. Ever since she came to their house , From childhood to now, all the grievances I suffered came to my heart at once, and I blocked my throat in one breath. Although I also shouted to defend myself, I was so choked up that I couldn't hear a word. The fifth wife tortured Xiao Ai here, and Concubine Yi also questioned Jing Fan there, but Jing Fan admitted it straight away.Concubine Yi made trouble with him, but he just smiled and said: "Who really wants her. Why do you have to be so serious." He looked at her and smiled, and said: "Who told you that you were not at home that day." After all, Concubine Yi can't rest assured, especially because according to the report, Xiao Ai may already be pregnant. Concubine Yi herself has been looking forward to having a child all these years, but she never has. If Xiao Ai really gave birth to a child, it is justified To be registered as a concubine is bound to affect her status.She was very angry because of this, she just nailed him and quarreled with him, asking him to get rid of that girl immediately.Jing Fan got impatient later, put on his hat and went out. The fifth wife was also a little hesitant about this matter, because she interrogated Xiao Ai and found out that she was happy. No matter what, it was always a bit of the master's flesh and blood. The fifth wife even thought that she had always wanted a child, but she couldn't get it Well, the son and daughter born to his ex-wife have no relationship with her. If this child is raised by her after birth, it will be different, right?But after the child was born, how did he deal with Xiao Ai?If she was kept, it would be more in line with what others said, saying that this matter was all my mastermind, and I sincerely asked my girl to win over the master.If she is sent away, I don't know what attitude the master will have.Mrs. Fifth thought about it, and couldn't help being in a dilemma. She also threw the flowered shoe she was holding to beat Xiao Ai on the ground, and took two steps back to sit on a square stool in front of the dressing table.Xiao Ai stood leaning against the corner of the table with her back on her back, raised one arm and put her face in the crook of her arm, just crying bitterly.Mrs. Fifth sat there in a daze for a while, pointed at her and scolded her once or twice, but her anger seemed to have subsided a little, so Tao Ma tried to persuade her, and was about to pull up her hair for her to continue combing when she suddenly saw Concubine Yi An angry gust of wind came in, and he was stunned unconsciously. Concubine Yi walked in without saying a word, grabbed Xiao Ai's hair, and didn't beat her, she just lifted her foot and kicked her in the stomach fiercely, and she was wearing leather shoes again.Seeing this, Tao Ma looked like she was about to kill someone, but she was inconvenient to come forward to persuade her, but she was very upset. No matter what law the girl committed, she was always the fifth wife's girl. If there was anything wrong, she should tell the fifth wife. Mrs. Wu went to punish her.How can there be such a reason, just barging into the wife's room and beating her girl in front of the wife, is too defiant.The fifth wife also felt that she was a little embarrassed, and she sat there so angry that her hands and feet were cold.At this time, Xiao Ai had already struggled free, jumped behind a chair to hide, Yifei rushed forward, Xiao Ai lifted the chair high, and smashed it head-on.Tao Ma was startled, she didn't have time to stop her, she thought to herself that the child didn't know the seriousness, this was a crime from the bottom, it was a rebellion, she rushed up from behind, tightly holding on to her two arms, Yi Fei had two A maid followed and watched at the door, and then rushed forward and snatched away the chair.Concubine Yi was startled and angry, took this opportunity to use all her strength in her life, and kicked Xiao Ai, everyone couldn't help but yelled "Oi!" Frustrated and fell to the ground.Everyone made a fuss, and half-dragged and half-lifted her out.Although Concubine Yi was also a little scared in her heart, she was still cursing, and her servant persuaded her to go back to the room. In an instant, everyone left, only the fifth wife was left blankly sitting on the square stool in front of the dressing table.After the uproar just now, the room was very chaotic, and at some point a teacup on the table was overturned and rolled to the ground, a meandering line of tea juice flowed slowly. It crawled on the floor like a little snake, crawling towards her feet, but her feet still didn't move for some reason. After a while, Mother Tao came in and said softly, "Ma'am, she is writhing in pain in her stomach, bleeding profusely, she must have a miscarriage." The Fifth Wife immediately said: "If she dies, she will die! I can't control her! I'm so mad at her!" Tao Ma picked up the comb and combed her hair again. The Fifth Madam suddenly changed her mind and told Tao Ma Said: "Go and tell the master." Tao Ma snorted and said with a sneer: "Master! There was a quarrel with him just now, and he went out." The fifth wife fell silent. Although Yifei and Fifth Wife didn't have much confrontation, it was already very tense.Mrs. Fifth didn't come out for dinner that night.At this time, Xiao Ai had already had a miscarriage. Mother Tao told Mrs. Fifth that she was still a boy. After hearing this, Mrs. Fifth couldn't help feeling inexplicably regretful.When Concubine Yi heard this, she felt lucky, fortunately she was knocked out.But keeping Xiao Ai is always a disaster, so I am eager to give her to someone casually.When Tao Ma heard this, she came to tell the fifth wife again, but the fifth wife just murmured: "Let her marry off!——I'm so mad at her!" In any case, if you want to bet on this, you should keep Xiao Ai, and don't let Concubine Yi take advantage of her wish.But the result was not due to the strength of the fifth wife, but because no one dared to solicit this matter, and none of the maids in the family dared to act as a matchmaker for Xiaoai.The male servant didn't dare to ask her, because he was afraid of offending the master.Concubine Yi became anxious later and wanted to call the traffickers to sell her.It has always been said that in their big mansion, there are only buyers and no sellers. Of course, Concubine Yi doesn't care about these things, but Xiaoai has been ill since the miscarriage, and the fever has not subsided. It dragged on for several months. It doesn't look like it, so it is said that she is going to sell her, but it has not become a fact. For Xiaoai's illness, Mrs. Fifth said that she suffered it on her own, and did not give her any treatment. The fifth wife really hated Xiao Ai a little, because she always felt that if this incident hadn't happened, everyone would have lived in harmony.Now that he has done this, all his painstaking efforts to compromise and seek perfection have been in vain. Now it has become a stalemate, Fifth Wife and Concubine Yi have never met each other, and Concubine Yi also keeps Jing Fan under tight control and does not allow him to come here.The fifth wife always eats in her own room, and the cook here was also used by Concubine Yi.The meals prepared for Mrs. Fifth are getting worse every day.At the same time, Mother Tao also complained to Mrs. Fifth every day, saying how those other servants bullied her.When Tao Ma was in Shanghai, she was always used to "comfort is king", so she tried her best to persuade Mrs. Fifth to go back to Shanghai.In the opinion of Mrs. Fifth, she thinks that it is justifiable for her to live with the master. Even though there is an awkward situation in front of her, can she continue like this?There is always a day to get through.Moreover, the master took her jewelry and promised that she would buy it and return it to her as soon as she had money in the future.If she guards in front of him, maybe there is still some hope, although she knows in her heart that this hope is very slim.If she's gone, it's almost gone.But Mrs. Fifth couldn't tell Mama Tao about this difficulty, because she didn't tell Mama Tao about the jewelry at all, for fear that Madam Tao would blame her. Once again Mama Tao was very angry. Because she was a vegetarian, she always prepared one or two vegetarian dishes for herself. Someone deliberately made things difficult for her by adding a few shredded pork to her vegetarian dishes, which ruined her whole bowl of vegetables. can not eat.Tao Ma ran to tell Mrs. Fifth that she wanted to quit her job and go back to Shanghai.The fifth wife was troubled by her, so she seriously considered going back.It just so happened that a letter came from Shanghai saying that the old lady was ill, and it was right for the fifth wife to go back to take care of the sick.She asked Mother Tao to inform the master.She didn't want to put on airs to ask him to come over, but he came of his own accord and said a few very crowning words in favor of her going back.So Mrs. Fifth left Nanjing shortly thereafter, and Xiao Ai's illness was still not cured.But he took her back with him. Before returning to Shanghai, although Mrs. Tao had told Mama Tao and Mama Liu not to tell about Xiao Ai, there was no way to stop people from talking about this kind of thing. Gradually, everyone knew about it.In the eyes of those maids, they just felt that this girl was unruly, so they couldn't help being even more indifferent to her.The grandmothers and wives in the family had another kind of curiosity, and they all said, "It's such a mischief at such a young age. This fifth master is really—how could he take a fancy to her!" Therefore, they all looked at her with special eyes.As a result of paying special attention, I really felt that although she was quiet on the outside, she had a kind of evil spirit in her bones, which could not escape their eyes, so everyone paid attention, and no master or young master would let her have a chance to approach . In front of Mrs. Fifth, of course, no one would mention this matter, because Mrs. Fifth has always kept silent about this matter, and she is very taboo. Whenever Xiao Ai is mentioned occasionally in a conversation, Mrs. Fifth's face immediately becomes gloomy. , without saying a word, making people feel as if eating a steamed bun and suddenly eating a piece of dead dough that hasn't risen. Xiaoai's illness has been getting worse, and she can't stay in bed all the time, so she got up to do things on her own.In fact, Mrs. Fifth didn't like her in the past, but she always yelled "Xiao Ai! Xiao Ai!" all day long. Now it seems that the name is not loud, and she refuses to say it easily.She hates her.Especially because time passed day by day, the life of the fifth wife in Nanjing was gradually different from the facts in her memory. She only thought that Jing Fan was good to her, but he forgot all the things he treated her badly. Therefore, she felt more and more resentful. If it wasn't because of Xiao Ai, there wouldn't be such a estrangement. Their relationship was not good. Apart from blaming her natal family and her husband's family, she now blamed Xiao Ai.However, Mrs. Fifth's character is like this. Although she hates Xiao Ai so much, she doesn't take any steps to send her away or do anything to her, and she still keeps her by her side. After the winter of that year, because the old lady was seriously ill, Jing Fan also came back from Nanjing twice.Mrs. Fifth heard that he had been coming to Shanghai often, but he couldn't get through the door and didn't come home.Now he has a hot fight with a red prostitute in Shanghai and wants to marry her back.Concubine Yi has fallen out of favor, she probably had some latent disease suddenly broke out, and she lost all her hair in just a few months.Jing Fan didn't want her right away.He used to be an official in Nanjing, since he fell in love with this one, he tried to find a way to transfer to Shanghai, but he left Concubine Yi in Nanjing. The old lady passed away in the next year, so Concubine Yi went to Shanghai to attend the funeral, and used this name to find Master Wu.When she came to the old mansion, it happened that Jing Fan didn't come that day, and later Jing Fan heard that she had come, so he simply didn't even show up for the seven-way hanging.Concubine Yi went inside to see Mrs. Fifth, but Mrs. Fifth didn't forget the past and still received her very politely.Concubine Yi is completely dressed in plain clothes, but her wavy perm hair is obviously a wig, which is covered on her head like a hat, her eyebrows are gone, and her smooth skin is painted bright with pencils. Yingying's two eyebrows also looked a little strange.But her magic power didn't seem to be completely lost, because as soon as she met the fifth wife and complained, the fifth wife felt very sympathetic to her and kept her in her own room. Tell the fifth wife, and when it comes to the sad place, the fifth wife also sheds tears with her.The sisters-in-law and the younger generation sometimes go to the fifth wife's room and see the fifth wife not only chatting and laughing with her, but also seems to compliment her a little bit, rushing to do some odd things for her, while Yifei But it is peaceful.Some people in the family said that she was a wife and Mrs. Fifth was a concubine.Mrs. Fifth probably also felt that she needed some explanation for her attitude, and said behind her back: "She is a loser now, and I have no reason to bully her. I don't blame her for those things in the past. It's Master Wu who is bad." Xiao Ai may not hold grudges like Mrs. Fifth.Fifth wife also thinks that Xiao Ai has reason to hate Concubine Yi, so when Concubine Yi lived here, Mrs. Fifth didn't call her to serve in front of her. Concubine Yi lived in Shanghai for several months, but she never saw Jing Fan, so she had to go back very disappointed.Mama Tao and Mama Liu felt very happy about this incident, saying: "The retribution is so fast!" Xiao Ai was not satisfied with this.Concubine Yi and Fan Jing, she hated them to the core, but not only the two of them, no one in this world took her seriously.Her hatred is as deep as the sea, and she simply doesn't know how to avenge her.However, I often think in my heart: "One day I will show them that I may not stay in their house forever. I may not be poor forever."
