Chapter 88 I might need you to support me in the future

Chu Yian was really furious.

Although Sheng Nian Yao gave her such an important thing because she valued her, it was not an ordinary thing after all.

If she were to give it to him like this, how would Sheng Nianyao respond when the elders of the Sheng family asked about it in the future? Would the elders of the Sheng family agree to let her, an outsider, take the Sheng family's token?

No wonder Sheng Nianyao was quite conflicted when she gave her the jade pendant.

It turned out that she was not concerned about whether the jade pendant was a relic left to her by her parents, but the hidden story behind the jade pendant.

Since you are already entangled, why not be thorough?

Instead, it makes it so difficult for her now.

Seeing that Chu Yian's face was not very good, Qin Sheng pursed his lips and asked her: "Do you want to return this jade pendant?"

Chu Yian nodded without thinking: "Of course I have to return it. When Nian Yao gave me the jade pendant, she only said that it was something her parents left for her. She didn't tell me that it was so valuable."

"If she had said that, I wouldn't have accepted it no matter what. But if I just gave it back like that, I'm afraid Nian Yao wouldn't have accepted it given her temper."

This is what makes her most embarrassed.

He was so stubborn that he went back and irritated Sheng Nianyao. Chu Yian was even afraid that she would just throw the thing away.

In this case, it would be better for her to keep it first and return it when she finds a suitable opportunity.

Knowing what Chu Yian was worried about, Qin Sheng comforted him, "Don't worry, you didn't steal or rob, so it's not your fault. If the Sheng family really comes looking for you, just go back."

"They are all respectable families, so they won't make a big fuss. The Sheng family might even offer something else in exchange for the pendant, but you never know."

"Anyway, it doesn't affect you that much. It's just that Miss Sheng seems to think a little too highly of you."

Qin Sheng looked into Chu Yian's eyes and keenly sensed something different from Sheng Nianyao's unusual behavior.

Although Chu Yian was indebted to Sheng Nianyao, he could repay the favor and would not give her such an important thing.

And he remembered that Chu Yian used to have a jade pendant around his neck.

Now I don't know where the jade pendant is...

He looked at Chu Yian, and Chu Yian's heart skipped a beat. He almost forgot that Qin Sheng had an absurd ability to see through people's minds, so he quickly found an excuse to try to get away with it.

"Yes, she certainly values ​​me. I am her only friend in Shengjing and also her best sister. It's normal for us sisters to give each other jade pendants."

Chu Yian looked into Qin Sheng's eyes, trying to make Qin Sheng see the sincerity in her eyes.

She really didn't lie.

Qin Sheng choked and looked away speechlessly: "Hurry up and eat, Dad and Big Brother have official business to attend to later."

After saying that, he picked up the bowl and started eating, and others also started eating.

Chu Yian had a hard time eating, so he ate a few bites in a hurry. After seeing that everyone had finished eating, he stood up and wanted to leave, but was stopped by Yuzhu.

"Young Madam, please follow me and I will measure you."

Chu Yian almost forgot about this and turned to Qin Sheng and said, "Wait for me to go together, don't run away first."

Qin Sheng: ...

After saying that, she followed Yuzhu into the house. Yuzhu knew Chu Yian's personality, so she measured the size as quickly as possible, noted down what kind of design Chu Yian liked, and then let her go.

Chu Yian walked out of the house and went to the front yard. Just as he was about to tell Qin Sheng to leave, he suddenly heard Tao's voice.

Mrs. Tao's voice was filled with relief: "Third brother, you and Yi An have a really good relationship. Although Yi An is a little naive, she treats people sincerely without so many twists and turns. After marrying you, she also tried her best to protect your face in public."

"Mom knows you...you two have a good relationship, but you can't let those people outside ruin your relationship."

Qin Sheng's voice was emotionless: "Yeah, I understand, mother."

Chu Yian felt a little embarrassed. The mother and son were having a heart-to-heart talk, and it was not nice for her to stand there and eavesdrop.

She hurriedly coughed, interrupting their conversation and walked out, looking at Mrs. Tao with an expression that said, "I didn't hear anything." "Mom, I've measured it. Qin Sheng and I will go back to the yard first."

Tao's eyes softened again, and she smiled and hummed, "Go."

Qin Sheng had also stood up and walked outside, and Chu Yian hurried to follow him.

As soon as he walked out of the yard, he saw that Qin Sheng was not walking back to the Fuhua Courtyard. He was a little puzzled: "Aren't you going back to the courtyard? Where are you going?"

Qin Sheng glanced at her sideways and said, "It's still early today. I know you can't sit still. If I really asked you to sit at the table writing in your notebook all day, I'm afraid you wouldn't be able to sit still. Let's go out for a walk first and come back when it's almost time."

Chu Yian immediately became interested and was about to invite Xiaofu to join him, but Qin Sheng said, "Xiaofu, just go back to sleep. You don't have to follow us."

Xiao Fu:!!!

Xiao Fu glared! She wanted to go too. She didn’t want to sleep! Who could sleep after a whole night?

Seeing Xiao Fu's unconvinced expression, Chu Yian wanted to laugh, and quickly touched her head to comfort her: "Be good, go to sleep."

"I'll bring you something delicious when I come back. If you really can't sleep, go water the peach tree seedlings in the yard so they grow faster."

After saying that, she skipped away after Qin Sheng, leaving Xiao Fu standing there alone and feeling heartbroken.

Miss... left her again...

Xiaofu felt aggrieved, but she didn't say anything. She went back silently and fetched buckets of water from the well, then carried the buckets with great effort to water the peach trees.

She ignored other people who spoke to her, looking hurt, with four words written in capital letters on her face: Ignore me.

After leaving the Duke's Mansion, Chu Yian immediately asked Qin Sheng: "Where are we going to play?"

Qin Sheng's eyes flashed with mischief: "We have nothing to do, so let's go learn the words of the ancient sages. As the saying goes, reading more books can make people wise. Let's find some books to read."

Chu Yian: ...

Chu Yian's excitement froze visibly on her face. She pulled the corners of her mouth and squeezed out an ugly smile: "Well, I, I suddenly remembered that I have something else to do..."

He turned around and ran away before he could finish his words, but Qin Sheng grabbed his collar and pulled him back.

Qin Sheng's voice was filled with obvious laughter: "Why are you running? It won't cost you your life."

Chu Yian clapped his hands with a sad face: "No, I really have something to do."

"I suddenly remembered that I haven't visited my mother for several days, and I also wanted to change her house. Have you found a house?"

Qin Sheng let go of her poor collar: "I've been so busy these days that I forgot to tell you that the house deed has been delivered, and my mother-in-law and several younger brothers and sisters have moved into the new house."

When someone was asked to deliver it, Mrs. Hua tried to evade responsibility and almost followed the servants to the Duke's Mansion to return the house deed.

Fortunately, Uncle Zhang was able to persuade the man with his eloquence, but Hua refused to owe such a big favor to the Duke's Mansion no matter what. She was afraid that Chu Yian would have a hard time here, so she insisted on sending the money.

But there is no need to tell Chu Yian about this.

Chu Yian was curious: "Where is it?"

Qin Sheng: "It's still Yifu Alley. I bought the house they liked before."

Chu Yian was a little embarrassed: "Ah? You pay for it, how can I feel comfortable with that?"

Qin Sheng glanced at her and said, "We are husband and wife, why should we be embarrassed? When I have money, I will spend more on you. If I don't have money one day, I may need you to support me."

Chu Yian chuckled and patted his chest to assure: "I will raise you, I will definitely raise you! Even if I have to work three jobs a day, I will raise you until you are plump and white!!"

Qin Sheng: ...
