Chapter 4 The Wronged Servant Needs to Be Punished
Of course, there will be no less punishment afterwards, and of course it will be after Ji Xiao's injury is almost healed.
From that cellar he took the last money his mother had left him, and a small necklace with a pendant in the shape of a knife point.
One night after a long time, he suddenly mentioned this matter again. He told me that he originally planned to take away the money my mother left in the cellar and fly away. It's better to be a slave by my side, but when he saw me in his own home, he suddenly changed his mind.
That time I didn't ask him why it was the first time, until he mentioned it for the second time, I realized that he might want me to ask. At that time, I asked him because I asked him I tried my best to meet all the needs, so I asked.
But he was silent for a moment, and suddenly laughed, "The moonlight was beautiful that day, and the surrounding scenery was so dilapidated. You were wearing a young master's uniform, and your expression collapsed, as if you were about to cry... It reminds me of a dead husband. If you dare to insult me, I will buy you into the hands of those rich people in the future, or I can torture myself, anyway, I can’t let you have a good result.”
At that time, the sorrow in my heart was greater than the anger. Thinking that the person sleeping next to me hated me so much from the very beginning, the kind of timidity from the inside out made me feel that I was no different from death.
Of course, he hid it well when he was young, and he didn't show his hatred for me so clearly. He just went back to the mansion with me in a proper manner. Under my scolding, he lowered his eyes slightly, It made people feel that he had listened, but felt that he was being ignored.
I thought I was right, and hated him for causing me trouble. After that, I relentlessly punished him several times. Seeing that he seemed to be more silent than usual, I felt complacently thinking that " Train your servants well."
But occasionally he will inadvertently reveal his true thoughts. I remember one time, I took him to a certain banquet held by my father. It's rare to be handsome and strong. My friends in school would bring a few beauties to support the show when they attended. I had a good face at that time and didn't want to lose to anyone, so I forced Ji Xiao to act as a facade.
Ji Xiao had a face that seemed to be a smile but not a smile, with cruelty hidden in his eyes. The former young master of the Ji family was now a servant, which naturally aroused the curiosity of all the young masters and ladies present to enjoy "high-end pets".
At that time, it was the first time I realized the value of Ji Xiao besides doing housework. For a while, I was a little flustered. I was thinking about what reward I would give Ji Xiao, but I followed his gaze, but found that he was looking at a different place in the distance. In the distance, the young master of the Ye family is drunk on the sofa, with several beauties in his arms.
Realizing that I was looking at him, Ji Xiao turned his face slightly, "See?" He laughed, not knowing whether it was sarcasm or something else, "There is a wife in the Ye family's eldest son's house," he approached, leaning over He wrapped his body around my ear and said, "I will do like him in the future. I will marry you as my wife. I will hug you outside. You can only stay at home and cry alone."
I was overwhelmed by his imagination. For a while, I didn't know whether to laugh out loud or slap him in the face, but in the end I didn't do either of these two actions, because I saw behind Ji Xiao, big brother As I walked forward, in order to maintain my demeanor, I only laughed out loud, provocatively in a low voice that only Ji Xiao and I could hear: "If you really have that ability."
At this moment, the elder brother walked up to us, he smiled at me, ignored Ji Xiao beside me as usual, and only took out a small gift box from his pocket, "This is a gift for you."
An exquisite and small but valuable cufflinks, my elder brother likes to give me these from time to time, I am naturally happy to receive gifts, but my usual behavior is much more exaggerated than the truth in my heart, I don’t know why, I like it in front of my elder brother Putting on an innocent look, he smiled and hugged him, and whispered in the elder brother's ear, "Thank you."
Ji Xiao looked at everything in front of him expressionlessly. His gaze was like a thorn piercing into my heart. He probably knew that I was faking it. He understood my nature better than anyone else...or, The more "evil" side of my nature.
Then my eldest brother bowed slightly to me and invited me to dance below. He was like a prince, and the way he stretched out his hand to me almost made me blush instantly.
Indeed, compared to the other brothers and sisters of the Yu family, I like my eldest brother more, because he is the only one who treats me well all the time without needing to treat me well.
He is different from Dad. Sometimes Dad treats me so well that I feel that it is just a show for other children, while Big Brother is more sincere.
Ji Xiao also talked to me more than once about the elder brother. He seemed to think that I have a deep-rooted affection for the elder brother, and there is always some sour jealousy in his words. I never expose him, because I know that deep in his heart, just He felt ashamed and disdainful of "feeling for me".
He said: "Because you will never threaten his position. From the perspective of personality, he wants to get closer to that dead old man, that's all."
Ji Xiao often called his father "that dead old man". No matter how much he paid for it, he still said that with a face of disdain. At that time, I didn't bother to correct him. , which affects me.
Why did he make it clear to me? "I believe in happiness and beauty," I looked at him for a moment, this time, I hope he heard clearly: "It's just because I need it."
There was a power outage that night, and it was deep winter. I stayed up late and watched the video of the play. In order not to let the housekeeper nag me, I lied earlier that I was going to sleep. I had the idea of lighting a fire, so I woke up Ji Xiao. Obviously, Ji Xiao didn't understand my order "go to my room to warm the bed" at all.
He probably doesn't understand the value of his stove. In winter, he is a source of heat, and every part of his body is warm. If someone can nest into his arms in the biting cold wind, it must be A different kind of happiness.
I sat by the bed and continued to watch the video with the machine. On the bed, I could feel Ji Xiao's gaze, resentment or resentment?I don't know, anyway, when facing me, he always has these kinds of expressions on his face.
"Hey, you've been making things difficult for me on purpose, right?" Ji Xiao asked out of the blue.
I froze for a moment, and slowly, I regained my consciousness, "Why do you ask this?"
"You are very kind to other servants, you just keep making things difficult for me, why?" From his eyes, I guessed that he already knew the answer, but he still asked me for confirmation, and how could I answer him?After all, it is true that I have treated him badly all these years, and it seems too false to say something like "forced to helplessness" at this moment.
"Why? I don't like your eyes." That was one of the few opportunities I could seek his forgiveness, but at that time, I just let it slip away from me.
But I don't know if it's because of this, but that night, by my gods, I didn't rush Ji Xiao back to his own small room, nor did I let him roll out of bed and nestle in the warmth bred by his body temperature. After a long absence, I I actually started to be dazed, with strong anxiety and slight fear of Ji Xiao, I thought:
He was almost on the verge of death, but the father still didn't make any move, did he intend to kill him?Or do you have other plans?
At that moment, I actually felt lucky. I never dared to admit it in front of my father. I didn't want to let the familiar life around me suddenly disappear in front of my eyes. Obviously it was so vivid, and it obviously had infinite possibilities.
That night, I had a lot of conversations with Ji Xiao, among them was his opinion of elder brother. It was only then that I realized that he didn't like elder brother so much.
When I woke up the next day, I found myself being held in Ji Xiao's arms, and my usually cold hands and feet were actually warm on this day. This experience was quite novel.
After that, I tried to be nice to Ji Xiao, but as expected, that guy will make some moths again in a few days, making it difficult to have a good impression of him.
That is to say, from then on, I gradually discovered that Ji Xiao's dislike for big brother was reflected in almost every aspect, but I was blind before and didn't notice it.
"The surname Yu" is his surname for his eldest brother, as if there is no other surname in the whole family except for the eldest brother. When he expresses his disdain for the eldest brother, I often ridicule him to have something to say in person. At that time From my point of view, Ji Xiao's dissatisfaction with his eldest brother may just be an inherent threat and jealousy when facing a male stronger than himself.
At that time, I didn't know that when the Ji family's territory was copied, the eldest brother existed as the representative of the father, and it was he who captured Ji Xiao alive and brought him back to the Yu family's territory .
Under normal circumstances, the eldest brother would not do it himself. Even if the detained hostage utters wild words and insults, he can still wave his hand without changing his face, and only ask his subordinates to give the most vicious and cruel to the disrespectful person in front of him. punish.
It was only then that I realized that before Ji Xiao came to my house, he had been hungry for three days.
I remember one time, on my birthday, my eldest brother ordered a cake and a gift for me. When the things were brought to me by the housekeeper, Ji Xiao said: "It seems that it is easy to buy you, just some food and an accessory. "
I didn't admit it in my heart, so I threw my eldest brother's letter in front of him and asked him to read it, probably because I also wanted to know what was written in it, and Ji Xiao didn't hold back, so he just read it out loud Occasionally he would pause, utter a sarcasm or two, and then read:
"..."
"The concern is so high-sounding. If he really loves you so much, he would agree to take you out when you were acting like a baby."
"..."
"And on behalf of the dead old man..." Ji Xiao sneered, he just crumpled up the letter and threw it right next to the trash can.
I just sat there and frowned, looking at the crumpled paper, my heart was numb, I didn't know what to feel.
"Is this enough to make you grateful to Dade?" Ji Xiao never forgot to mock me.
"It's so fake that it makes people want to vomit." Ji Xiao only looked at me and smiled. He walked to the trash can, shook his leg slightly, and kicked the little ball of paper to my feet, "Believe it or not, in the future Yu Qingshu can Kill everyone in the Yu family with a smile, including you."
At that time, I couldn't listen anymore, and only ordered Ji Xiao to get out of my room with indignation.
I also said: "You are not as good as big brother, you can bring me nothing."
Many years later, by chance, I realized that on this day, Ji Xiao also prepared a gift for me, a simple hand-made model. He had no money, and he couldn't produce anything more valuable than this. In the end, Failed to deliver either.
At that time, I had already been forced to accept many gifts from him, ranging in value from single digits to tens of millions. I was still willing to accept small things worth a few dollars at the beginning, even though I knew it was just to demean me It didn't matter, but as the value gradually increased, I couldn't laugh anymore. He seemed to be unable to understand why I was always dissatisfied, and often acted extremely irritable.
And I thought, maybe he just wanted a false and exaggerated smile.
He said that he looked down on his elder brother, but he liked to compare himself with his elder brother everywhere.
A hypocritical smiling tiger, this is Ji Xiao's evaluation to his elder brother.
When Ji Xiao was a teenager, his elder brother didn't take him seriously at all.
To say that they really had a conflict, it might still have to be when Ji Xiao was 19 years old, on his eldest brother's birthday.
