Xia Lu suppressed her anger and tried her best to make a heartbroken expression.
She said softly, "Xiao Cui, can you cook two eggs for me?
Can you go to the kitchen and cook me two eggs? I'm going back home the day after tomorrow.
I'm afraid there will be marks on my face … "Xia Lu's face was very miserable.
However, her fists were already clenched.
That would show how unsettled she was.
"Okay, you and Young Master …" Xiao Cui said worriedly. It was fine for her to cook eggs.
She was afraid that her Young Master would make things difficult for Grandma again.
"Don't worry, Husband just made a mistake. He won't do it on purpose again." Xia Lu lowered her eyes, not letting Xiao Cui see the light in her eyes.
"Okay." Xiao Cui nodded.
She could also tell Madam about this.
"Oh, right.
Can you not tell Madam about this? "Xia Lu asked.
Xiao Cui was stunned.
"I'm afraid that Madam will be worried," Xia Lu said submissively. However, the anger in her heart was about to burn her. Although the punch just now did not hurt,
When she was invincible at the border,
The injuries she had suffered,
Were much more serious than this. However,
There was an essential difference.
The people who attacked at the border were the enemies.
Now, the person who attacked was her Husband. This guy was really going to rape her. One of the reasons why she did not tell her mother-in-law was to gain her favor. The second reason was to tell her mother-in-law not to come and protect her. She was really going to kill.
Jia Zhen was in a very good mood after she succeeded. She allowed Xia Lu to act in front of Xiao Cui. Hmph, now you know how powerful I am. I am very, very scary.
Xiao Cui sighed. She really wanted to advise her grandmother not to be so obedient to the young master. Otherwise, the young master would definitely become more and more excessive in the future. However, these words were not something that a servant like her could say. Although she was born in the house, she was still a servant. "Yes, I know. I won't tell Madam."
"Okay." Xia Lu nodded and watched Xiao Cui leave.
After Xiao Cui left, Xia Lu's expression immediately changed. He became very gloomy and stared straight at the Jia Zhen.
Jia Zhen was frightened by Xia Lu's gaze. He pretended to be calm and said, "What, what? You can hit me, but I can't take revenge?" Jia Zhen pretended to be strong. If you didn't see his eyes darting around, he would be more convincing.
"Haha, very good. Now that Xiao Cui is gone, it's time for us to settle the score, right?" Xia Lu sat on the edge of the bed with a gloomy face. He carefully looked at the Jia Zhen and seemed to be thinking about where to start.
Jia Zhen suddenly regretted. He shouldn't have let Xiao Cui go. Now that Xiao Cui was gone, this woman could take revenge on him. "I, I'm telling you, I'm Madam's most precious son. If, if you touch me, Madam will definitely not let you off. Also, your parents, definitely haven't left the capital yet. If something happens to me, Madam will definitely not let your whole family off." Jia Zhen tried to appear fierce but was actually weak at heart as she spoke ruthlessly.
"You're right. If I do anything to you, Mother-in-law will definitely not let me go." Xia Lu reached out and gently touched Jia Zhen's face. He continued, "But I can't stand being wronged. You made me suffer such a big loss. Tell me, how can I make it up to you?"
"I, I'm your Husband. You, you made a mistake first." Jia Zhen felt more and more nervous. He wanted to take Xia Lu's hand off his face, but he didn't dare to move. He only dared to lie straight on the bed. He was afraid that if he did something out of line, he would provoke Xia Lu and kill him.
"That's right, I made a mistake first." Xia Lu nodded. Then she turned her gaze and looked at Jia Zhen's face. The corners of her mouth curved into a smile as she asked, "What mistake did I make? Do you have evidence? "
"Here. You hit me." Jia Zhen pointed to his eyes.
"Do you need me to bring you a mirror?" Her eyes had already been treated, and she could no longer see the bruises. How long did this guy intend to use this excuse to threaten her? Well, this guy was not only a scum, but also very stupid. Well, if he was really smart, he would not have been unable to control his lower body and fooled around with his own daughter-in-law. He would not have risked the future of Ningguo Manor and fooled around with Lady Jia. In the end, he ended up with his property confiscated.
"What do you mean?" Jia Zhen was a little confused.
"I mean, the bruise on your face has disappeared. If you casually say that I hit you again, it's slander." Xia Lu looked innocent.
"You, you evil woman. Are you really going to deal with me? I, I'm your Husband. "Jia Zhen was furious. He really wanted to divorce his wife now, but he didn't dare. If there wasn't a very serious reason, Master and Madam would definitely not allow him to divorce her. Thinking about how his original wife's Qian Family was so unreasonable, Master and Madam didn't allow him to divorce her.
"I can avoid the death penalty, but I can't escape punishment. After all, you were the one who attacked. So in the future, I'll be in charge of everything in this courtyard. I'll also be responsible for your monthly allowance," said Xia Lu.
"Why?" Jia Zhen was dissatisfied. What did she mean by saying that she had to decide everything in this house? And his monthly salary? Why should this woman be in charge of it? Why?
"Because of this." Xia Lu pointed at his eyes. Xia Lu's eyes were a little red. Compared to the punch that Xia Lu had punched Jia Zhen before, this punch was a lot lighter. Until now, Xia Lu's eyes were only a little red. It wasn't like Jia Zhen's eyes that suddenly turned black.
"Hmph, your eyes aren't black," Jia Zhen said disdainfully.
"Yes, they aren't black. But I have a witness. Have you forgotten Xiao Cui?" Xia Lu looked at Jia Zhen with a smile. If she didn't take the opportunity to do something, she would be sorry for herself. Although Jia Zhen had hit her, as Jia Zhen had said, she really couldn't do anything to Jia Zhen. Although she really wanted to smash Jia Zhen's head, this was a feudal society. It was an era of male dominance. Women were just accessories to men. Since she couldn't do anything, it was necessary to get more benefits.
Moreover, Xia Lu had her own selfish reasons. First, she wanted to get the power of the Sakura Temple. Then, she would manage Jia Zhen's monthly salary. In the future, when Jia Zhen inherited Ningguo Province, she would have to manage it. After she managed Ningguo Province, she would try her best to prevent Ningguo Province from falling into a situation of confiscation and imprisonment. As for Xi Province and Rongguo Province, Xia Lu said that she didn't have the ability to do that. The big boss, Jia Zhen's mother, was still there. She was harder to control than Jia Zhen. If she really couldn't do it, she could just divide the family clan. As long as she wasn't implicated by Rongguo Province, she would definitely be able to live a peaceful and rich life for the rest of her life.
Thinking of Xiao Cui, Jia Zhen was defeated. He was so tired. Why didn't he have a witness or material evidence? Even then, he could still threaten this violent woman.
"What do you think?" Xia Lu asked.
"No." Jia Zhen shook his head. "I can give you the power of the courtyard. I won't interfere no matter how you manage it. But I can't give you the monthly salary." Jia Zhen thought to himself. If his monthly salary was controlled by Xia Clan, how would he interact with others in the future? Treating someone to a meal and not even being able to pay for the meal was too pitiful. He didn't want to accept it.
"Deal. This is what you said. In the future, you can't interfere with how I manage the courtyard. If you interfere, I will take care of your monthly salary," Xia Lu said.
Jia Zhen looked at Xia Lu. He always felt that there was something wrong with Xia Clan's words, but he couldn't figure out what was wrong.
"Do you agree or not? Hurry up. Don't be so wishy-washy." Xia Lu looked impatient.
"Okay." Jia Zhen nodded and agreed.
"Since you agree, let's write it down in black and white. If you don't admit it one day, I will publicize this matter. I will let everyone in the capital know that the Young Master of Ningguo Province is a person who doesn't pay attention to integrity. Let's see how you put your face." Xia Lu took out a piece of paper and ink, wrote down the agreement between the two, and waited for Jia Zhen to sign it.
Jia Zhen looked at Xia Lu and did not make a move. He always felt that after signing the contract, he would definitely lose something.
"What's wrong? Is our Young Master going to break his promise? "Xia Lu looked at Jia Zhen with a faint smile.
"Why would I?" Jia Zhen subconsciously refused to admit it.
"Then let's sign it." Xia Lu smiled.
Jia Zhen took the pen, signed his name on the paper, and handed it to Xia Lu. He felt very depressed.
Jia Zhen was depressed, but Xia Lu was in a very good mood. It was written in the contract that in the future, Madam Xia Lu would be the housekeeper, and her Husband, Jia Zhen, would have no right to tell Madam Xia Lu what to do. Xia Lu played a word game here. He didn't write the Sakura Temple. In the future, when Jia Zhen inherited Ningguo Province, it meant that Xia Lu would be in charge of Ningguo Province, and Jia Zhen had no right to tell Xia Lu what to do.
Xia Lu, who got the contract, was full of pride. He quickly left the bedroom and found a private place to hide the contract. He would take it out at the most critical time in the future.
Jia Zhen looked at Xia Lu's excited face and felt that he had been cheated. However, he comforted himself. No matter what, it was just a housekeeper. His mother might have been assigned to Xia Clan to manage the Sakura Temple. Even without the contract, the Sakura Temple would still be managed by Xia Clan. Thinking of this, Jia Zhen's mood instantly became better. He felt that Xia Clan was indeed the daughter of a military general. She thought that she had taken advantage of him. She was really stupid. Jia Zhen despised her in his heart.
After hiding the contract, Xia Lu returned in a very good mood. She didn't mind that Jia Zhen had punched her before. If punching her could easily get her the rights to be the housekeeper of Ningguo Province, she felt that it was quite worth it.
Jia Zhen looked at Xia Lu's happy face and despised her in his heart. However, at this time, the aftereffects of his previous scheme against Xia Lu came out. "Hey, Xia Clan." Jia Zhen's face was a little red.
"What's wrong?" Xia Lu saw that Jia Zhen's face was a little ugly and turned to look at him. Did this guy have some kind of illness?
"I, I'm going to the bathroom." Jia Zhen's face was red and he was very embarrassed.
"Pfft." Xia Lu was completely amused by Jia Zhen. This guy was really funny. Looking at his face, she didn't know how long he had been holding it in.
