Chapter 78 Are you slapping yourself in the face like this?
When Uncle Qian received the news and rushed over, he saw Qiuyue, who was waiting for him at the back door, quietly wiping tears:
"But something happened to the second young lady?"
Qiuyue shook her head and continued to cry.
Uncle Qian was anxious and angry:
"The second young lady is fine, why are you crying?"
Qiuyue sobbed:
"I just think the young lady's life is really hard. Among the three young ladies in the mansion, my young lady lives the most miserable and the poorest life."
"She is not a person who can feel sorry for herself. She treats me better than herself."
"Uncle Qian, I feel sorry for the young lady."
"Obviously, the young lady is a young lady, and I am just a servant."
Uncle Qian was speechless because he felt the same way.
The young lady would rather save a bite from her own mouth, and she always hoped that he would eat well, wear warm clothes, and bring enough money on the road.
Uncle Qian held back his bitterness and distress:
"Don't cry, the young lady will feel bad if she sees you."
"The young lady is a person with ideas and plans, and it's enough for us to know that the young lady is good."
"As the young lady's servants, we do things for the young lady, which means we feel sorry for the young lady and protect her."
In fact, Uncle Qian didn't understand the meaning of the things that Zhu Xuntao asked him to do.
Fortunately, Uncle Qian understood a truth. He didn't understand, but it didn't mean that these things were meaningless.
He believed that what his young lady had to do with so much effort must be very important.
"Yeah."
Qiuyue wiped her tears quickly, she knew that what Uncle Qian said was true.
She just felt sorry for the young lady, and she didn't want to make the young lady sad.
"Uncle Qian..."
Qiuyue looked around and made sure that no one was around before she took out the box full of banknotes and handed it to Uncle Qian:
"This box is full of banknotes. It is all the money that the young lady has saved recently."
Qiuyue couldn't help but remind him, even though she knew that Uncle Qian was just like her and would never waste the young lady's money.
"As for what the young lady wants you to do, it's all written in this letter."
"Okay."
Uncle Qian felt that the things in his hands were as heavy as a thousand pounds, and he could hardly lift his hands.
"Uncle Qian, you must be careful on your way back." You
can lose anything, but you can't lose this box of banknotes.
"I will."
After handing it over, Qiuyue returned to Zhu Xuntao with a depressed look on her face, and she couldn't cheer up for the whole day.
"Qiuyue went to see that Uncle Qian again?"
Zhu Yingyan, who was arranging flowers, raised her eyebrows:
"Zhu Xuntao frequently contacts this Uncle Qian, what is her plan?"
"It can't be that she is so close to Uncle Qian just because he is the servant left to her by her grandfather?"
There are so many relatives in the mansion, and Zhu Xuntao doesn't pick and choose among them all, but only chooses a servant to be close to?
Qiufen nodded:
"It is said that Qiuyue also gave Uncle Qian a box, which should be used to store silver."
Zhu Yingyan sneered, her tone full of disdain for Zhu Xuntao:
"Zhu Xuntao is just a poor master, who can't even get ten taels of silver a month."
"Uncle Qian's life will be difficult following such a master."
Even though Zhu Yingyan knew that Zhu Xuntao gave Uncle Qian silver, she didn't care.
Because she knew that Zhu Xuntao had no silver and was a poor guy.
What's the point of putting it in a box? I'm afraid it's just for face.
Yes, it's so embarrassing to take out a few taels of silver.
Putting it in a box can scare people.
Qiufen nodded:
"Do you still need to keep an eye on Uncle Qian?"
Even the Second Miss, the master, has no money. What can Uncle Qian, who helps the Second Miss
, do? In this world, nothing can be done without money.
Thinking of how the two siblings could get a lot of benefits every time they helped Zhu Yingyan.
Compared with Zhu Xuntao who could barely make ten taels of silver a month, Qiufen felt that being the Second Miss was not as good as being a maid for the eldest lady.
The Second Miss, the master, was like this, and the servants who worked for the Second Miss were even more miserable.
"Keep an eye on her for a while."
Zhu Yingyan did not give up.
Zhu Xuntao could change the outcome of Xiao Chenliang's early death and save Xiao Chenliang.
Just for this reason, Zhu Xuntao was worth her efforts.
She was the one who was going to rewrite her own destiny, and she could not allow any mistakes.
Not others, and certainly not Zhu Xuntao.
As long as Zhu Xuntao dared to block her way, she would never be soft-hearted even if Zhu Xuntao and she were born of the same mother.
Thinking of this, Zhu Yingyan used a pair of scissors to cut off the peony on the branch that was in full bloom,
leaving only the peony to lead the way and become the only protagonist in this pot of flowers.
"What are you going to do with these things?"
The things that Qiuyue sold, after going around in circles, returned to Xiao Jingzhan's hands without missing a single thing.
The shop actually belonged to the prince, and after the prince took it, he sold all of them to Xiao Jingzhan.
Zhu Xuntao was the woman Xiao Jingzhan wanted to marry, so this loss had to be borne by Xiao Jingzhan, and it was not his turn to care about it.
Xiao Jingzhan gave the banknotes to the prince:
"You don't have to worry about it."
He specially prepared a warehouse to store all of Zhu Xuntao's things.
Zhu Xuntao was short of money and didn't want to spend his money, so
he didn't mind spending the effort and heart to help Zhu Xuntao in this way.
Just as the prince said, Zhu Xuntao was his choice.
Earlier, he would have thought that this approach was too troublesome.
That was ruthless.
Now, he is happy with it.
This is affectionate.
Seeing that Xiao Jingzhan, a busy man, could actually do this for Zhu Xuntao, the prince just felt incredible:
"Do you really like Zhu Xuntao?"
Xiao Jingzhan raised his head:
"Isn't it obvious enough?"
If he hadn't been in love with Zhu Xuntao, would he care so much about Zhu Xuntao?
The prince continued:
"But didn't you tell me that as long as the woman you marry is suitable and can help you manage the Yongjing Marquis Mansion, you will respect her?"
"Emotions are not important in a husband-wife relationship?"
When Xiao Jingzhan said these words that day, he was like a puppet without emotions.
The funny thing is that he almost believed it.
Look at Xiao Jingzhan today, how confused he is by Zhu Xuntao, isn't it embarrassing?
"..."
Xiao Jingzhan did not deny that he had said these words,
"Prince, people will change."
"When there is no emotion, you naturally feel that emotion is not important."
"Since you already have feelings, it is better to be affectionate than heartless."
After thinking about it, Xiao Jingzhan added:
"When the prince meets the person he likes, he will understand what I am thinking and feeling now."
"Very good, very good..."
At least, he didn't regret it at all, and he was enjoying it.
The prince was covered with goosebumps by what Xiao Jingzhan said, and he spat out a word coldly:
"Get lost."
Take Zhu Xuntao's things and get lost quickly, don't hate him.
Seeing Xiao Jingzhan's cold and aloof face, his mouth curled up, and he left with a touch of tenderness, the prince really couldn't adapt.
It's really strange, he hasn't eaten yet, why does he always feel anxious?
