Chapter 93 Cucumbers Everywhere, Just Need a Slap

Su Xiaoyu was so angry she almost laughed.

These noble ladies, they're all just sitting around doing nothing all day, picking on a maid like her, aren't they?

Then don't blame her for being impolite.

Contrary to their expectations, Su Xiaoyu did not react with shame and indignation, nor did she frantically try to explain herself. Instead, she crossed her arms and smiled mockingly.

"Ladies, I originally thought that you were all from noble families, and that your minds were filled with 'Rules for Women' and 'Instructions for Women', or romantic tales. I never expected that the world inside your heads would be so unique."

Cucumbers everywhere, just need a good pat. Soapberries all over, perfect for producing foam.

Du Tingting and the others were stunned, completely not understanding. But the combination of words like 'cucumber' and 'foam' didn't sound like anything nice.

Before the others could react, Su Xiaoyu continued her attack:

"If you gentlemen are bored out of your minds, I suggest you go out and walk around in the fields and see how radishes grow steadily. It's better than squatting by the well all day, wondering if other people's food is salty or bland. Your vision is only the size of a fingernail. You think everyone else is struggling in the same cesspool as you, right?"

This series of metaphors was sharp and sarcastic, leaving Du Tingting and the others completely bewildered.

But they could still sense the extremely insulting terms like "frog in a well," "spoiled food," and "septic tank."

Their faces flushed with anger, and they pointed at Su Xiaoyu, "You...you..."

Lin Wan'er also frowned slightly.

Su Xiaoyu's words were so vulgar that she didn't know how to respond for a moment.

Su Xiaoyu enjoyed watching their humiliated expressions and snorted coldly:

"Don't understand? That's good! After all, human language is hard to fully comprehend with creatures immersed in their own information cocoons. Goodbye, I'm not going to compete with you guys on this level of shamelessness!"

Su Xiaoyu left, feigning nonchalance.

Little did she know that just as she turned the corner, she immediately took off running in the direction of Huaihua Lane.

If I'm not mistaken, something must have happened to Lu Xinghe and Shen Yuejiao last night.

——

Meanwhile, in Huaihua Lane, in Shen Yuejiao's boudoir.

Morning light streamed through the window, illuminating the messy room, with a lingering scent of lingering intimacy in the air.

Lu Xinghe was the first to wake up, his head throbbing from the hangover and the lingering effects of the drugs.

The next second, his large hand touched something soft and warm.

Lu Xinghe subconsciously turned his head and saw a snow-white body, with various ambiguous marks on its shoulders and collarbone, like scattered red plum blossoms in the snow on a snowy day, which was exceptionally beautiful.

In an instant, those scattered, frantic fragments of memories from last night flooded into my mind.

Lu Xinghe froze instantly, his blood seemingly freezing in his veins.

Shen Yuejiao also opened her eyes groggily, raised her hand to rub her eyes, and as she did so, she felt a chill on her arm and chest.

She subconsciously lifted a corner of the brocade quilt and saw that she was completely naked!

The moment she looked up, she met Lu Xinghe's horrified eyes.

Shen Yuejiao was slightly taken aback, as those blurry yet intense fragments of memory from last night instantly flooded into her mind.

The next second, Shen Yuejiao's cheeks turned bright red, as if they had been stained with rouge. She was so embarrassed that she immediately wrapped herself tightly in the brocade quilt, her heart pounding like thunder.

"Brother Xinghe...I..."

"shut up!"

Lu Xinghe's face darkened inch by inch, turning as black as the sky before a storm, as if ink could drip out at any moment.

Those once clear eyes were now bloodshot, filled with shock and humiliation.

"Chen Yuejiao!"

He practically spat out her name through gritted teeth, "Last night's wine...did you have someone tamper with it?"

He has a decent alcohol tolerance; he wouldn't have become so confused and done something so foolish after drinking less than one pot of liquor.

Looking back now, my body's reaction was very strange.

Shen Yuejiao was stunned for a long time before she slowly found her voice again.

Her voice trembled with anxiety, almost breaking into tears: "No! Brother Xinghe, how could I do such a thing? I don't know what happened, the wine last night..."

Shen Yuejiao stopped abruptly because she also realized that there was something wrong with the wine last night. After drinking it, she felt unbearably hot and her mind became blurred.

She also recalled that last night she had taken the initiative to hug Lu Xinghe and wouldn't let go, and even pulled him to prevent him from leaving.

In Lu Xinghe's view, her reaction was a sign of guilt.

"What? Speechless?"

Lu Xinghe sneered, his voice as cold as ice shards: "Shen Yuejiao, I really misjudged you! I always thought you were just a little arrogant, but I never expected you to be so vicious. Using such despicable means, it's one thing for you to scheme against me, but you even want to scheme against Xiaoyu?"

"That's not how it is, Brother Xinghe, let me explain. I don't know what happened to the wine either; someone must have tampered with it..."

Shen Yuejiao tried to pull him away, but Lu Xinghe shoved her away.

"Enough!"

“Chen Yuejiao, I know you have always liked me, and you came to the capital this time for me.”

Lu Xinghe's gaze locked onto her, his large hand gripping Shen Yue's delicate neck, speaking slowly and deliberately.

"But I can tell you right now, even if you use such despicable methods, I, Lu Xinghe, will never like a vicious woman like you. Forget about it!"

After saying that, he suddenly let go, turned around, picked up the clothes on the ground, and put them on one by one.

It appeared resolute and cold-hearted.

These words wounded Shen Yuejiao deeply, and large tears rolled down her cheeks.

"That's not how it is... Brother Xinghe, you have to believe me..."

However, Lu Xinghe showed no pity this time, only deep disgust.

After hastily dressing, he left the room without looking back, as if even glancing at it would taint his eyes, and slammed the door shut as he went.

The loud slamming of the door made Shen Yuejiao tremble. The discomfort in her body, coupled with his heart-wrenching humiliation, made her cry out in despair.

...

Half an hour later, Su Xiaoyu, panting heavily, finally arrived at Huaihua Lane.

Shen Yuejiao's courtyard gate was tightly closed and unattended.

She pounded on the door knocker, the thumping sound particularly clear in the quiet alley.

"Sister Yuejiao! Sister Yuejiao! Open the door, it's me, Xiaoyu!"

I called out several times, but there was no response from inside the house, as if it were an empty house.

Su Xiaoyu's heart sank.

Undeterred, she quickly went around to the side door and pounded on it even harder.

"Is anyone home? Open the door!"

After a long while, the side door creaked open, revealing an old face behind it. It was the old servant who had stayed behind to guard the courtyard.

"Young lady, who are you looking for?"

"Uncle, where is Miss Shen? I'm looking for Sister Yuejiao!" Su Xiaoyu asked anxiously.

The old servant sighed, "Miss, you're too late. Miss Shen, she's already gone."

Su Xiaoyu's eyes widened in astonishment: "Gone?"

"Yes, along with the maids and servants she brought, and several large boxes of luggage, they have been traveling for more than half an hour."

Upon hearing this, Su Xiaoyu felt as if she had fallen into an ice cellar.

Is she leaving without saying goodbye and going back to Qinghe County?

It’s over!

At this moment, only these two words were in Su Xiaoyu's mind.

Given Yuejiao's personality, she must have suffered a great injustice, otherwise she wouldn't have been so resolute and left so quietly.

She quickly thanked the old servant, then immediately turned around and ran as fast as she could towards the city gate!

She had to catch up with Shen Yuejiao; she couldn't let her leave with misunderstandings and pain!
