Chapter 165 Is it reliable?
"Sister-in-law, the people who can serve you are really not ordinary people like you. They are interesting, very interesting."
This is the first time he has seen such an interesting little girl.
Zhu Xuntao, who didn't care much at first, heard Xiao Jingshen's words of praise, and her face changed, and her eyes seemed a little cold:
"Do you think Qiuyue is interesting?"
Xiao Jingshen wanted to nod, and then he saw that Zhu Xuntao's face seemed different from usual, not so harmonious.
Xiao Jingshen, who was frightened and trembled, finally understood what Zhu Xuntao cared about.
He waved his hands repeatedly:
"Sister-in-law, don't get me wrong. When I said Qiuyue was interesting, I meant it literally. I had no other intention."
"You already know the family rules for men in my Xiao family."
"No matter what kind of person I marry in the future, I will be devoted to her and don't care about her identity..."
"No, what I mean is that I have no other intentions towards Qiuyue. I know that!"
Qiuyue was confused:
"Princess, if the Third Young Master did something wrong, he would not be innocent. Did he do something bad to you?"
"If so, I will teach him a lesson for you. No one can bully you in front of me."
Knowing that Xiao Jingshen respected Zhu Xuntao very much, and now seeing Xiao Jingshen so panicked,
Qiuyue had reason to believe that Xiao Jingshen had made a big mistake and made Zhu Xuntao angry.
After hearing Qiuyue's words that were so self-deprecating, Xiao Jingshen didn't know how to evaluate this master and servant:
they really went in both directions.
He just said that Qiuyue was an interesting little girl, but
his sister-in-law was nervous and worried that he would have a crush on Qiuyue and wanted to take her as a maid.
How could this be possible!
He was not a person who would lay hands on a maid. There was no such person in the Yongjing Marquis Mansion.
Besides, if he really had feelings for Qiuyue, he would have married her in a formal ceremony.
Bah...
He was led astray by his sister-in-law. He really didn't have that intention towards Qiuyue.
"Don't be nervous, I believe you."
Xiao Jingshen explained so seriously that Zhu Xuntao would not deliberately think badly of Xiao Jingshen.
It is true that women in ancient times had too little human rights, and Qiuyue was just a maid, not a free person.
In other mansions, if a wise young man suddenly showed such a great interest in a little maid,
this little girl would definitely not escape the fate of a maid.
Until today, Qiuyue has been shouting that she will not marry and will stay with her forever.
How could Zhu Xuntao be willing to let Qiuyue be wronged to be the lowest maid for someone else.
Hearing Zhu Xuntao say that she believed him, Xiao Jingshen breathed a sigh of relief:
"Sister-in-law, if you have anything to say in the future, just tell me directly. You were so scary just now."
He almost thought that he would be driven out of the house by his sister-in-law and would never see her again from then on.
His sister-in-law is so beautiful, and she is always gentle and soft when she talks to him.
Until today, no matter how unfairly his sister-in-law is treated, he has never seen her lose her temper or turn her face.
He really didn't expect that he could make his sister-in-law so angry just by praising Qiuyue.
Tsk...
So the status of Qiuyue, a maid, in the huge Zhu Mansion is not as high as that in his sister-in-law's heart. Thinking about how Zhu Xuntao was embarrassed and wronged by the people in the mansion, especially Xiao Miluo,
every time she came to Yongjing Marquis Mansion before she married Xiao Jingzhan , Zhu Xuntao had no complaints and had no intention of bringing up the past after she married. Everything was like a ship passing by without a trace, just let it go. But today, Xiao Jingshen understood why Zhu Xuntao was so generous at that time. Because he didn't care! Thinking about what happened just now, when it came to the person that Zhu Xuntao really cared about, the gentle and harmless Zhu Xuntao immediately showed her claws and fangs. Harmless? Overthinking. "Hahaha..." Zhu Xuntao imitated Xiao Jingshen's laughter just now, telling Xiao Jingshen not to be afraid, "I was just joking with you, and I saw you were scared." "People who don't know would just think how fierce and mean I am to you normally." As long as Qiuyue and Uncle Qian beside her were not touched, she would be a rare person with a good temper in this world. But there are some bottom lines that she still has to make clear, so that Xiao Jingshen and the others don't commit them without knowing. By then, will she be weird, or weird, or weird? "Yes, yes, sister-in-law is the best sister-in-law in the world, how could she be evil to me." He understood. Although Qiuyue was just a little maid who sold herself as a slave, she had a backer, and Qiuyue's backer was someone he dared not offend. In other words, he couldn't offend Qiuyue either. Fortunately, he knew about this situation today, so as to avoid making the same mistake in the future. "It's getting late, third brother, go back and have a rest. I'll take care of the rest of the accounts." "Then I'll have to trouble sister-in-law." Xiao Jingshen saluted Zhu Xuntao. Even though he had never called Zhu Xuntao "sir", in fact, he always respected Zhu Xuntao as if he were his own teacher. Xiao Jingshen performed these ceremonies with joy and sincerity. He had worked very hard, but with so many accounts, he only handled one-third of his sister-in-law's. Although what I can do is very limited, it is good to be able to help. After all, this way, my sister-in-law can work less hard.
"Brother, you're back?"
Seeing Xiao Jingzhan, Xiao Jingshen unceremoniously pulled him to his yard.
Xiao Jingzhan followed Xiao Jingshen's force, but let Xiao Jingshen let go first:
"Let go, I'll follow you."
"What's the matter?"
Arriving at Xiao Jingshen's study, Xiao Jingzhan picked up the things Xiao Jingshen had placed on the desk and flipped through them casually.
"Brother, let me ask you, do you know Qiuyue's origin?"
Xiao Jingshen didn't beat around the bush and went straight to the point.
"What's wrong?"
Qiuyue was a maid brought to the Marquis's mansion by Zhu Xuntao, there would be no problem.
Xiao Jingshen frowned and said:
"Sister-in-law is such a good person. She never cares if others bully her."
"If others are good to my sister-in-law, she will be very good to them in return. So I'm worried..."
"What are you worried about?"
Xiao Jingzhan did not deny what Xiao Jingshen said. He had been worried about Zhu Xuntao's kindness and easy to bully before.
"Today I found out that my sister-in-law treats Qiuyue like a close relative and values her very much."
"I don't think Qiuyue is just a servant and doesn't deserve my sister-in-law's kindness."
"But is this Qiuyue worthy of my sister-in-law's kindness? She won't betray or hurt my sister-in-law, right?"
Even though Qiuyue stood in front of Zhu Xuntao and said she wanted to teach him a lesson,
Xiao Jingshen couldn't be sure that what Qiuyue said was from the heart like he was sure of Zhu Xuntao. What if she was acting?
