Mistakenly recognized as a cousin, thousands of pampered

In the next few days, Tao Jiuxi and Tao Qingwan went to Cixin Hall every day to pay their respects to the old lady.

Perhaps because the old lady always had trouble sleeping at night, they often waited patiently in the hall, sometimes for an hour and sometimes for two hours.

Gradually, after being rejected several times, Xie Yuhua sometimes stopped coming to pay his respects.

When Tao Jiuxi came out of Ci Xin Ju today, he thought to himself that April is the time when roses are in full bloom.

She remembered that there was a corner in the backyard with a few rose plants, so she immediately wanted to go and take a look.

Tao Qingwan was called away by her aunt today, and Tao Jiuxi was alone at the moment.

Relying on her memory of her last pass by, she walked towards the location of the roses.

The closer she got to her destination, the quieter the surroundings became. However, just as she was about to arrive, she heard someone crying.

The crying sound was faint and plaintive, and it seemed particularly abrupt in the quiet atmosphere.

So Tao Jiuxi walked lightly and carefully followed the sound of crying.

When she walked around the rockery, she saw a woman crying.

The woman also noticed someone coming at this time. She suddenly raised her head and a trace of panic flashed in her eyes.

"Yushu?" Tao Jiuxi was a little surprised.

The person crying was Xie Yuhua's little follower, the concubine's daughter Xie Yushu.

She didn't expect to meet her here, and she was still crying.

"It's you? What are you doing here?" When Xie Yushu saw Tao Jiuxi, he immediately wiped away his tears and asked sternly.

"This is not a forbidden area. I'm here to enjoy the flowers." Tao Jiuxi said. Seeing Xie Yushu crying like this, he ignored the unkindness in her tone.

Her gaze passed Xie Yushu and looked at several rose plants not far away. The bright flowers were blooming in the sun, so beautiful.

"If you want to enjoy the flowers, go somewhere else." Xie Yushu said bluntly.

She seemed to be still emotional and didn't want to be disturbed.

"Okay, sorry to bother you, you can continue crying." Tao Jiuxi just felt unlucky. He came here happily to enjoy the flowers, but why was he scolded by someone?

She turned around and prepared to leave, not wanting to get entangled with Xie Yushu anymore.

"What are you so proud of?" Xie Yushu's eyes were red and his tone was full of resentment.

"Me? I'm not proud!" Tao Jiuxi looked confused and didn't understand why Xie Yushu reacted like that.

"You also know that my elder sister chose me as her dowry, so you come here to laugh at me?"

"If you say that, how would I know your elder sister..." Tao Jiuxi suddenly realized: "Why choose you?"

"Why are you pretending? If you didn't know, why would you come here? No one has ever come here." After hearing this, Xie Yushu's tears, which he had just held back, began to fall again.

Tao Jiuxi took off the handkerchief and handed it to her, wanting to comfort her.

"Believe it or not, I just happened to meet you." Her tone was a little helpless.

However, Xie Yushu knocked off Tao Jiuxi's handkerchief.

Tao Jiuxi felt extremely speechless, anger welling up in his heart, and he immediately planned to leave.

It’s okay if she doesn’t look at this flower.

Just as he turned around, he heard Xie Yushu say behind him: "Tao Jiuxi, you come to laugh at me today. You won't be any better than me in the future."

"Xie Yushu, are you a mad dog? Why are you biting people randomly?" Tao Jiuxi stopped, turned around, frowned, and asked angrily.

"You have no sense of shame. You seduced Duke Shen and threw yourself into his arms. You also deliberately seduced Brother Jinghuan and made him obsessed with you. You are so despicable. What good will this end for you?"

Xie Yushu was very angry because Xie Yuhua designated him as her concubine today.

However, she had no say in this family and only had an unfavored concubine who could not help her at all, so she felt that her life was hopeless at this moment.

Xie Yuhua has always been domineering at home and often bullies her illegitimate brothers and sisters. In order to survive, her brothers and sisters have no choice but to please her everywhere.

Xie Yushu originally thought that even if she married a peddler in the future, she never wanted to be a concubine like her mother, who was not even as good as a maid and had to be beaten and scolded.

At this moment, she just wanted to kill everyone equally, and Tao Jiuxi was the unlucky one.

"When did I seduce your brother Jing Yan? Watch your mouth. If I start scolding people, you will definitely not be able to defeat me." Tao Jiuxi was also a little annoyed.

"You said you didn't seduce Brother Jinghuan, but he runs to your yard all day long. Why is that?" Xie Yushu was aggressive, tears welling up in his eyes.

"If you don't feel comfortable watching it, tell him not to come. I feel annoyed too." Tao Jiuxi showed no sign of weakness and a look of annoyance on his face.

"You bitch, I don't know what kind of seductive skills you have. How can you, who is so lowly, bewitch Brother Jinghuan and make him kneel in the ancestral hall for you every night?" Xie Yushu's face was full of anger, and his eyes were full of jealousy and resentment.

"Kneel in the ancestral hall?"

"You are just relying on the fact that your father was recently granted an official position by the emperor. Otherwise, you wouldn't even be worthy of being a concubine." Xie Yushu continued to curse, her voice sharp and piercing, as if she wanted to vent all her dissatisfaction.

Tao Jiuxi was curious why she said Xie Jinghuan went to kneel in the ancestral hall.

She hadn't seen Xie Jinghuan in the past few days and thought that Xie Jinghuan hadn't come to see her because he was embarrassed after sobering up from his confession that day.

Her mind was full of questions, and she didn't know what had happened to Xie Jinghuan.

"You don't need to be so hostile to me. I have never offended you. In the past, you just followed Xie Yuhua in scolding me, and I didn't bother with you. But you behave like this. You really don't know what's good for you." Tao Jiuxi frowned, with a hint of helplessness in his tone.

"What does it matter if I know what's right for me? What does it matter if I don't? I've been her dog for more than ten years. I just hope she can let me go. There are so many concubines and why did she choose me?" Xie Yushu was unwilling and full of despair.

Her tears rolled down her cheeks and her eyes were filled with pain and helplessness.

"I'm not her. I don't know." Tao Jiuxi looked at Xie Yushu, feeling a little reluctant.

She didn't know why Xie Yuhua chose Xie Yushu as her concubine, nor did she know how to comfort Xie Yushu.

"Of course you don't know. But you won't have an easy time either. Even though you are good at polo and want to throw yourself into the arms of Duke Shen, the Xie family will not accept you." Xie Yushu spoke fiercely, his face full of anger.

"Don't tell me, it's my blessing that you don't accept me."

"He's so fake, I'm afraid he's already secretly colluding with someone."

"Bullshit! Instead of arguing with me, you might as well cry for a while and vent your anger." Tao Jiuxi added, "Don't lose the argument with me again and cause your breast ducts to become blocked."

Seeing that Tao Jiuxi had been scolded so much, Xie Yushu gradually lost his anger. He was speechless for a moment and didn't know how to respond.

Tao Jiuxi said, "I have never relied on my father's power to bully others, so you don't have to use my father to make trouble. Besides, if you compare, your father is still a third-rank official, one rank higher than my father. Aren't you hiding here crying?"

"My father? Is he still a human being? He is worse than pigs and dogs. If I didn't have such a father, I probably wouldn't have ended up like this." Xie Yushu's tone was full of resentment and helplessness.

"No, no, no, no. If you want to scold me, wait until I leave, then you can scold me." Tao Jiuxi immediately took a step back and prepared to slip away. She didn't care what Xie Mi was like, and she didn't want to ask.

She didn't want to get involved in this unreasonable quarrel. She just wanted to leave this place of trouble as soon as possible and stay away from Xie Yushu's anger.

"So what if I scolded you in front of you? Go and complain!"

"Complain? I'm unlucky today. You continue and I'm leaving!" Tao Jiuxi felt helpless. Xie Yushu was attacking him indiscriminately.

"If it weren't for Brother Jing Yan's love for you, I'm afraid my good father would also want to take you in. Aren't you a slut? You like to seduce men everywhere. Then go seduce my father. It would be best if you could surpass Ji Miaofu and make her die of anger." Xie Yushu's words became more and more outrageous, and his words were full of malice.

"You're crazy! I thought I hadn't seen you today."

Tao Jiuxi felt confused. She had lived in the mansion for so long, but she had met Xie Mi only a handful of times. They either had meals in her own courtyard or with the women of the Xie family. Even if Xie Mi had a problem with his character, as a relative staying there, she had no way to deal with it. Keeping a distance from him was the only thing she could do.

Xie Yushu had no place to vent his anger, and he didn't dare to make a loud noise, so he could only stomp his feet in anger.
