The little village girl dressed as a disaster star led the whole village astray

Chapter 105: The opposite of what I imagined, hard to handle

Although it is located at the border, the Zhenbei General’s Mansion in front of us is not as rough as imagined, but rather has a refined feel.

Flowers, plants and trees are planted in an orderly manner around the yard. Although they are not rare varieties, they give people a refreshing feeling.

Li Xi was looking around leisurely outside, and Hongxiu, who had entered the house, had already started to complain.

Seeing Hongxiu coming in, Madam Feng, who had been waiting, couldn't wait to look behind her. Seeing that there was no one behind her, she looked a little disappointed, "Where is she? Didn't she come with you?"

Hearing the disappointment in Madam Feng's words, Hongxiu's face froze, and she spoke again, "Madam, the people are here and are outside, but?"

"She's right outside!" Mrs. Feng's eyes lit up and she stood up from her chair. "Then why don't you ask her to come in with you?"

She was really curious about the girl her son liked.

Mrs. Feng was so excited that she didn't hear Hongxiu's voice-over at all. Instead, Mingyan and Nanny Feng, who were serving beside her, glanced at Hongxiu.

"It's not that I don't want to bring her in directly, I'm just afraid that her rudeness will scare the Madam." Hongxiu said with a look of grievance.

When Mrs. Feng heard her say this, her face froze. Rude?

"Vulgar?" Mrs. Feng didn't believe that her excellent son would like a vulgar person. "Is there any misunderstanding?"

“Madam, you don’t know, I went to invite her in a nice voice according to your orders. After she opened the door, I just asked her if she was Li Xi. I didn’t expect her to say so arrogantly, ‘say…’ Hongxiu hesitated at the end and spoke unclearly, as if she didn’t dare to say it.

Mrs. Feng was so anxious about her behavior, "What did she say?"

"She said, it was your aunt." Hongxiu apologized after she finished speaking, "Madam, these are her exact words, I..."

Hongxiu said this and carefully looked up at Madam Feng. When she saw Madam Feng's frown, she curled the corners of her lips slightly, but only for a moment, and she returned to her aggrieved look.

"I was so angry that I pointed at her, and she threatened to break my hand. I have never seen such a rude person."

"Didn't you tell her why you came?" Mrs. Feng asked with a frown.

Hong Xiu sobbed twice, "How could she not? I thought she didn't know I was from the General's Mansion, but I didn't expect that after I revealed my identity, she still had that attitude. Not only that, she even called me a dog.

They say that when you beat a dog, you have to look at its owner first," Hong Xiu raised her head and glanced at Madam Feng carefully, "She really doesn't take you seriously by doing this."

Nanny Feng frowned as she looked at Hongxiu, who had a face full of grievance but bright eyes. This girl was really too bold. It seemed that Yuqing Hall could no longer accommodate her. It was time to move her to another place after this time.

Mingyan watched Hongxiu's acting coldly. Since they grew up together, she had advised her long ago that since she was a servant, she should not have so many thoughts. Mingyan noticed the look that Nanny Feng gave Hongxiu, otherwise sooner or later her cleverness would backfire.

Mrs. Feng was a little angry after hearing what Hongxiu said, but not particularly angry. She wondered if there was some misunderstanding. She really didn't believe that Jingzhi would fall for the vulgar woman that Hongxiu mentioned.

She trusted her son's judgment.

"I see." Mrs. Feng nodded, relaxed her brows, and sat on the chair. "Go and call her in."

Hongxiu's body stiffened. She thought that when the lady heard her say this, she would just drive that bitch away, but she didn't expect that she would actually want to see her.

Although what she said just now was not a lie, she concealed her attitude towards the matter. She couldn't help but panic for a moment, but she quickly adjusted herself. After all, she didn't lie. She was the one who said those harsh words first, and she was just fighting back.

"Yes."

Hongxiu responded and left the room.

The curtain was opened and closed. Madam Feng looked at Madam Feng who was standing beside her. "Madam, do you think Jingzhi will fall in love with that vulgar woman in Hongxiukou?"

"Madam, you should trust the young general's judgment. There may be some misunderstanding." Nanny Feng consoled with a smile.

Mingyan, who was standing by, also handed over a cup of tea at the right time, "Madam, what Madam said is right, the people around are here, and you will soon know what kind of person that girl is."

Mrs. Feng nodded when she heard this. "That's right. Hearing is not believing. Seeing is believing. We will see it soon."

Hongxiu had been in there for quite some time, and Li Xi had already looked around and there was nothing left to look at. He was just standing there in boredom.

"Let's go, the lady wants to see you." Hongxiu glanced at her, then turned around and twisted her waist to walk into the yard.

Looking at her expression, Li Xi raised his eyebrows. This meant that his attempt to instigate her had failed. Why did she seem a little irritable?

Li Xi followed Hongxiu into the yard and came to the door.

Hongxiu asked someone to inform and got a response. The servant waiting outside the door lifted the curtain and Hongxiu brought her in.

After entering, the first thing Li Xi saw was a beautiful woman sitting right in front of him. Her dress was exquisite and matched the courtyard very well.

"Li Xi greets Madam." Li Xi bowed and saluted.

This is Gu Jingzhi's mother, General Gu's daughter-in-law, so she should perform this ceremony.

Mrs. Feng looked at the thin girl in front of her. She already knew that she had a bad background, but she didn't expect her to be so thin. However, from her facial features, she could tell how bright and beautiful she would be when she grew up.

But she had introduced Jingzhi to people who were more beautiful than her before, but he was not moved at all at that time.

Looking at Li Xi's thin figure, Mrs. Feng was a little confused as to why Jing Zhi fell in love with her.

She didn't even know how to salute, and she actually just saluted with her fists clasped together.

In fact, this cannot be blamed on Li Xi. She is a modern person. Although she has the memories of the original owner after traveling through time, the original owner was just a peasant girl and had no idea about etiquette.

After Li Xi finished her greetings, she stood up. When she raised her head, Mrs. Feng noticed her eyes first. Her eyes were very bright, and her confidence could be seen from her eyes alone.

That is not confidence in one's identity and family background, but confidence in oneself.

She just stood there, clearly just a peasant girl, yet as tall and straight as a mountain, giving people an indescribable feeling.

Mrs. Feng suddenly felt that she knew why Jingzhi fell in love with her.

The women he had met before were either like the delicate and rich peony flowers or like the slender and weak white lotus flowers, but the girl in front of him gave him a feeling of being a green pine in the mountains, independent and upright.

Li Xi didn't know that she was so highly regarded in Mrs. Feng's eyes. She straightened her back and looked at him with a burning gaze, ready to be showered with money.

"You must be Li Xi." Mrs. Feng stood up with a smile, walked to Li Xi's side, and took her hand. "Come on, good girl, sit down and talk."

Li Xi: “???”

Hongxiu: “!!!”

Li Xi looked at Mrs. Feng in surprise. He obviously did not expect her attitude.

This shouldn’t be the case. Li Xi glanced at Hongxiu. There was no way she wouldn’t be putting on trouble.

Hongxiu couldn't help but look shocked. Impossible! How could the lady treat her like this?

"My dear child, you and your younger brother have to depend on each other, but it's hard for you." Mrs. Feng looked distressed.

Seeing Mrs. Feng's distressed expression, Li Xi suddenly felt helpless. She was the kind of person who would only respond to soft words and not to tough ones. If she were tougher, she would not be afraid at all. She had already made preparations before she came.

But she never expected that her attitude towards herself would be like this, which made her not know how to answer for a moment.

"I haven't suffered much." Li Xi said dryly. She knew that she had never suffered any hardship since her rebirth. Things had been developing in the direction she planned, and her life was getting better and better.

The only time she felt a little tired was during the first few days after she traveled through time, when she went to the mountains to collect herbs every day. But that was really nothing to her.

My father died and my mother remarried, and I had to raise my younger brother alone. How could life not be hard?

Mrs. Feng looked at Li Xi with a distressed look on her face. She felt that Li Xi was just being stubborn. She patted her hands and said, "No need to say anything. I understand."

Li Xi: “…”

She felt she didn't understand.

Hongxiu didn't know what was wrong with the Madam. She was frowning when she heard Li Xi just now, but now she looked like she was bewitched by her.

Did something happen just now that she didn't know about?

When Mingyan saw Hongxiu open her mouth to speak, she frowned and glanced at Nanny Feng beside her.

Nanny Feng didn't notice Mingyan's gaze, but she noticed Hongxiu's action. She walked over calmly, pulled her arm, and whispered, "Madam asked the kitchen to prepare some cakes. I don't know why they haven't been delivered yet. Go and urge them."

Hongxiu glanced at Madam Feng holding Li Xi's hand with an unpleasant expression. She naturally didn't want to leave.

But Nanny Feng would never allow her to stay and continue to cause trouble. She was stunned and said, "What? I can't control you anymore!"

Even though Hongxiu was extremely reluctant, she still left, looking back every few steps. As soon as she left the room, her face darkened. She really didn't know what went wrong, as she had clearly discredited that bitch Li Xi in front of the lady.

Why didn't the lady feel the slightest bit of disgust when she saw Li Xi, but was instead very intimate with her?

What Hongxiu didn't know was that Mrs. Feng didn't trust Li Xi, but her son Gu Jingzhi's vision.

Although everyone knows that Gu Jingzhi, the junior general of Zhenbei General's Mansion, is a glorious man, but as his mother, how could she not understand her life? That boy is a pretender with eight hundred tricks in his body. He sometimes deceives others, but never gets deceived.

"Good boy, your name is Li Xi, right? I'm Gu Jingzhi's mother, you can just call me aunt. Calling me Li Xi is too strange. Can I call you Xixi?"

It was the first time that Li Xi met someone as enthusiastic as Mrs. Feng. It was completely different from what she had imagined.

Therefore, the countermeasures she had thought of before were of no use at all. She thought she would behave like a serious lady, and as soon as they met, she would say with a cold face how bad she was and how she was not worthy of her son at all.

Finally, she looked down at me and said that I wanted to eat swan flesh, and asked me what I had to do in order for me to leave her son.

She had already gone over all these plots in her mind, but she didn't expect that things would not develop in the direction she expected.

Faced with Mrs. Feng's enthusiasm, Li Xi was rarely at a loss.

"Yes, yes."

Hearing Li Xi's agreement, Mrs. Feng smiled even more, "Okay, Xixi, I'll call you that from now on."

"Xixi, what's your brother's name?"

Li Xi didn't know how the topic suddenly turned to Hu Zi, but she still answered, "My full name is Li Hu, the Hu of Dendrobium officinale, and my nickname is Hu Zi."

"It's a nice name," Mrs. Feng held Li Xi's hand, "We'll all be a family from now on, so don't be so reserved with your aunt. Bring Hu Zi over to meet us later."

Li Xi: “!!!”

What does it mean to be a family? Do you still need to recognize each other?

Li Xi seriously suspected that she was hallucinating. Gu Jingzhi's mother was definitely the most difficult person she had ever met. What should she do? Want to escape?

Perhaps due to her childhood experiences, Li Xi is not afraid of setbacks, difficulties, or loneliness. The only thing she is afraid of is other people being nice to her.

This would leave her at a loss.

So, hearing Mrs. Feng's passionate words, Li Xi was simply unable to resist. She stood up quickly and pulled her hand out of Mrs. Feng's.

"Well, Aunt, I have something else to do, so I'll leave today."

Mrs. Feng naturally didn't want her to leave. She still had many things to ask, such as how she and Jingzhi met, what their current relationship was, and so on.

But she also noticed Li Xi's discomfort and thought that she might be shy, so she gave up asking, stood up, and said with some regret, "Is that so? Then I'll have someone take you there."

"Then I'll have to trouble you, aunt." Li Xi couldn't wait to leave.

"Madam, let me see Miss Li off." Mingyan volunteered.

"Okay, then you go and send Xixi off."

……

Mingyan sent Li Xi to the gate. She didn't say anything else along the way, only a few words when giving directions.

When they reached the gate, Li Xi stopped and said, "Thank you for your help. Please stop. I will just drop you off here."

Mingyan nodded when she heard this, "Miss Li, take care."

Li Xi walked down the stairs, took two steps and looked back, only to see Ming Yan still standing in front of the door, as if watching her leave.

Li Xi raised her eyebrows. Madam Feng's two maids were really interesting. One was arrogant and thought highly of herself, while the other was humble, polite and considerate.

It can be seen that people have different personalities under the same environment.

Li Xi turned and left without looking back.

……

On the other side, Gu Jingzhi, who was interrogating a prisoner in the county jail, was interrupted by the personal soldiers who suddenly came in.

"Major General, there is news from Hongjiang."

Gu Jingzhi paused and pressed the red-hot iron heavily on the prisoner's chest. The prisoner howled in pain and a burning smell filled the air.

In response, Gu Jingzhi's expression remained calm and he threw the soldering iron back into the charcoal basin.

"You guys interrogate him first." After saying that, he followed his bodyguards out of the cell.
