Chapter 17: He wouldn’t think I was seducing him, would he?

After all, they were a couple and not an outsider. Xie Zhao did not avoid it, but looked at the silhouette on the snow-white wall and said calmly: "Miss Lu found out that she was pregnant and went to Master Xue to plead with his parents together."

At that time, Young Master Xue had already arranged another marriage. The other party's family was no less wealthy than the Lu family. He wanted to climb up the social ladder and lost patience with Lu Qingxue.

"Miss Lu threatened to commit suicide, saying that if the incident got out of hand, both sides would suffer. Master Xue then had a bad idea and smothered Miss Lu with a quilt and dumped her body in the river."

After finishing speaking, Xie Zhao turned to face the door. He paused for a moment and said clearly, "It's getting darker and the dew is heavier. Madam, you should wear more clothes to avoid catching a cold."

Jiang Yuzhu: “…”

After everyone left, Jiang Yuzhu was still in a daze.

Hongli and Hongfeng looked at each other, their eyes flashing with gossip: "Madam, are you suddenly interested in the master?"

It’s a good sign that the lady looks down on Feng Qing!

Comparing the two, Feng Qing was defeated by the master in seconds.

Jiang Yuzhu looked dazed and asked uncertainly, "Hongli and Hongfeng, did you misunderstand?"

No, it’s not a big deal if the maid misunderstood.

Jiang Yuzhu tightened her skirt and asked, "Master, don't you think I'm seducing you?"

I swear to God, Da Qi's dress was too complicated, and she was too anxious and didn't tie her belt properly.

It was not intentional for her skirt to drop, nor was it her intention to flirt with Xie Zhao.

Men will only affect the speed at which she draws her sword!

With money and status, Jiang Yuzhu didn't think too much: "You think the master wouldn't be suspicious, right?"

Hongli was a sincere man, and he did not follow his wife's idea at all. Instead, he said directly: "A couple meets at night, and one of them takes off his clothes. Madam, why do you think this is?"

Could it be that the two of them agreed to embroider together?

This is of course an offer of oneself for sex, how obvious could it be?

The most infuriating thing is not this, but that they are obviously a couple but the master did not take the bait and was not moved at all!

Jiang Yuzhu sat down on the chair and cried, "It's over, it's a huge misunderstanding!"

Fortunately, Xie Zhao didn't react. He is indeed the male protagonist in the book who is not interested in women and is focused on his career.

Jiang Yuzhu was upset for a moment, then relieved the next, and the changes were very rapid.

The two maids couldn't figure out what the lady was thinking, so they just stood aside and kept silent.

When the moon was at its zenith, the servants of the Wei family finally came to deliver the news that the guests who had come to celebrate the birthday could leave.

A crescent moon hung in the sky, shedding a thin layer of moon frost.

The wind was strong at night and the fallen petals were blown away by the wind.

Jiang Yuzhu stared at Luohua, wishing she had the ability to teleport so she could go back to her parents' home in an instant.

"Hey, Jiang Yuzhu, wait a minute!"

Princess Yutan had just mounted her horse and waved to Jiang Yuzhu.

Jiang Yuzhu wanted to discuss with Princess Yutan about going to see Qiao Ying and Yu Jiaojiao, but she saw Xie Zhao's servant Liang An coming over from the corner of her eye, and hurriedly urged the driver, "Hurry, hurry up!"

Soon, the sound of horse hooves was heard, leaving Princess Yutan stunned. Was Jiang Yuzhu being chased by a ghost?

Seeing Xie Zhao riding a horse, Princess Yutan raised her lips slightly and said, "Interesting."

Every thing has its own conqueror. It turns out that Jiang Yuzhu is afraid of Xie Zhao!

The next day after returning to Jiang Mansion, Hongli came to deliver the news excitedly: "Go to the side hall and take a look. The second young master is back!"

Jiang Yuzhu stood up suddenly, unable to hide her excitement: "Second brother is back?"

The Jiang family was worried about Jiang Huaiqing, and when the twelfth lunar month came, they received the news that Jiang Huaiqing had returned to Beijing.

When they arrived at the side hall, Jiang Yuzhu saw a man with a swollen face and a black face, and asked with a hint of doubt: "Who are you?"

"Little sister, I'm your second brother!"

Jiang Huaiqing got so excited that the corner of his mouth tore, and he grimaced in pain.

Even though he was badly injured, Jiang Huaiqing still had a smile on his face, but it was a rather distorted smile: "Little sister, my second brother has gained a lot from his trip to Jiangnan this time, and I have brought you two carriages of gifts."

As long as there is something that his younger sister likes, Jiang Huaiqing feels that his efforts are not in vain.

Jiang Yuzhu ordered Hongli to get some medicine for the wound, and said distressedly, "Second brother, did you run into bandits or some big-name criminals? Why are you injured like this?"

Jiang Huaiqing's eyelids twitched. The man who was competing with him was more powerful than a bandit or a robber, otherwise how could he suffer such a big loss?

"It's okay, just a minor injury!"

Jiang Huaiqing stood up and stretched his muscles. Only his face was injured.

In the high-ranking families in the capital, fighting has rules: don't hit people in the face!

As luck would have it, Princess Yutan punched Jiang Huaiqing in the face, and he was almost going crazy.

Jiang Huaiqing just returned home yesterday and heard that at the Wei family’s birthday banquet, his younger sister Jiang Yuzhu was provoked and bullied by Princess Yutan.

What's so great about the princess? Even if it's the king of heaven, the Jiang family will resist.

Jiang Huaiqing blocked the road from the Wei Mansion Villa back to the capital and made an appointment to fight with Princess Yutan.

As a result, he was beaten before he could resist for a few rounds.

Although it was embarrassing, Jiang Huaiqing had made up his mind not to say anything. He would practice boxing desperately to avenge his younger sister!

Jiang Yuzhu gave her second brother Jiang Huaiqing a quick check and found that he had no broken bones, so she felt relieved.

"Brother, did you bring anything for Fendie? She asked me several times."

The spring breeze has dispersed, and Jiang Yuzhu also wants to own this magical tool that is essential for picking flowers. She is interested in its medicinal effects.

After hearing this, Jiang Huaiqing took out a small bag from his arms and handed it to his younger sister without hesitation.

"But, little sister, you..."

Upon learning that his younger sister had beaten Feng Qing up, Jiang Huaiqing felt very relieved and hated himself for not being there at the time, otherwise the three siblings could have teamed up to beat up Feng Qing.

"Jiang Huaiqing, what are you talking about with Yuzhu again? You are the only one with so many ideas."

Chen came to the side hall and saw her son sneaking around. She smiled and said, "Where did you get hurt again? Mother has arranged to see several ladies. Your marriage cannot be delayed any longer."

The wound happened to be on the face, and Chen suspected that her second son was deliberately avoiding her.

When Jiang Huaiqing heard about the marriage, his face turned horrified and he looked at his younger sister for help.

Jiang Yuzhu received the signal and hugged her mother Chen's arm and said, "Mother, the one you like only suits your preferences. Marrying a wife is a lifelong matter. Our family does not need a daughter-in-law to bring honor to the family. It is better to let my second brother pick a woman who suits his taste."

Chen patted her daughter's hand and said, "Mother does have this idea, but your second brother hasn't said which girl he likes yet. Could it be that..."

"What's the problem?"

The reason they haven't gotten married is because their destiny hasn't arrived. Jiang Yuzhu feels that her second brother is not too old and can't be considered an older bachelor in the capital.

Chen paused and asked in surprise, "Could it be that the person you like is a man?"

If that's the case, no matter how many people you meet, you won't be worthy of her.

Chen heard that men with homosexual tendencies would look down on women.

Jiang Yuzhu: “…”

Jiang Huaiqing: “…”

After a moment of silence, Jiang Huaiqing smiled bitterly and said, "Mother, my son has something else on his mind. I will marry a wife when I finish it. I will never regret it!"

Princess Yutan bullied her younger sister, and Jiang Huaiqing was beaten when he asked for an explanation. He couldn't swallow this humiliation!

Unexpectedly, Chen misunderstood again: "Mother was wondering why you haven't gotten married yet. It turns out you are waiting for Princess Yutan to return to the capital. Why didn't you tell me earlier?"

It would have been better to say it earlier. Chen was not unenlightened. It would have been enough for her to have her daughter accompany her. Chen could have sent Jiang Huaiqing to the north.
