Chapter 165: No Sand in the Eyes
The two people walked one in front and one behind. Yu Xiucai's face was ashen and Hu Qiaohui's face also looked a little ugly.
After seeing Su Yujin and Ai Cao, both of them stopped.
"Miss Su, Sister Ai Cao." Hu Qiaohui smiled with her eyebrows curved, "What a coincidence, I ran into you here."
Turning back to the scholar, he said, "Brother Yongye, you go back first. You don't need to see me off. I can go back by myself. I'll go back to see Brother Yongye and tell my aunt that I can't take care of her these two days. I'll go talk to her after I'm done with my work. Tell her not to worry."
Yu Yongye sent Hu Qiaohui home?
Hu Qiaohui and Zhao seem to have a very close relationship? But isn't Yu Yongye the same as Shuangye...
Su Yujin's expression suddenly became serious.
Yu Yongye also had a gloomy face. "Don't say anything nonsense. First, I'm not sending you back. I just met you on the road. You wanted to go with me, but I didn't want you to. Second, my mother is not in a hurry to let you go to my house to accompany her. Instead, she complains that she has many things to do every day, and you always go to her house to disturb her too much. Miss Hu, please respect yourself."
How come this nerd doesn't know how to be gentle with women? In front of outsiders, he doesn't even give them face and says whatever he wants?
Hu Qiaohui's face turned pale immediately, and she was even more embarrassed. "What did Brother Yongye say? You can't be really angry just because I got petty. Can't I apologize to you?"
"Whether you are in a bad mood or not is none of my business. I won't be angry with you, and I don't care." Yu Yongye frowned and said in a serious tone, "But if you have any tricks in front of Shuangye again, and want to ruin Shuangye's reputation with something like the earrings, don't blame me for being rude!"
Su Yujin had also heard about the earrings in the past two days.
Shuang Ye had just gotten a pair of earrings, saying that they were given by Hu Qiaohui. But a few days later, she heard some people gossiping about her, saying that Shuang Ye was greedy and would snatch anything she liked.
Su Yujin initially thought that it was a misunderstanding caused by something else, and she never cared about rumors about other people, so she didn't take it to heart.
Now after hearing what Yu Yongye said, I immediately understood the key.
It's such a pity that Hu Qiaohui doesn't sell tea.
"No wonder there have been flies buzzing around me these past two days. It seems someone threw feces there first."
Glancing at Hu Qiaohui, Su Yujin said in a cold tone, "My Shuangye is gentle and doesn't like to argue with others, but I can't tolerate any sand in my eyes. If someone talks nonsense in front of me, I don't mind taking a broom and cleaning the area around me."
Su Yujin's beauty is that of a delicate, dignified, graceful and gentle kind. Such beauty makes people feel comfortable and easy to feel friendly. But once such a face is angry, it becomes majestic and makes people feel afraid.
Especially now that Hu Qiaohui saw the anger between Su Yujin's brows, the coldness in her eyes, and the faint smile at the corner of her mouth that seemed to carry a hint of ferocity, she couldn't help but shrink her neck.
But there was endless anger in his heart.
It turned out that Yu Yongye was the person she liked.
In the past, when she often went to Yu's house to look for Yu Yongye, he did not mind. Zhao Bo'niang also always had a smile on her face and praised her as a diligent and virtuous girl.
But since Yu Yongye met Shuangye, the whole situation has changed.
Yu Yongye kept him at a distance, and even Zhao Bo'niang had a cold attitude towards him. Both of them had only Shuang Ye in their hearts and eyes, and could no longer see her at all.
How could she bear this? Hu Qiaohui's tears rolled down her cheeks, and she looked at Yu Yongye with tearful eyes, "Brother Yongye, we grew up together as childhood sweethearts, and now that we've grown up and you've passed the imperial examination, you don't even like me anymore..."
"I used to hear people say that men are heartless and unfaithful, and that men are prone to change their minds when they get money and power. I always thought that Brother Yongye had a good character and would definitely not be that kind of person. Now it seems that I was wrong!"
Hu Qiaohui kept sobbing, covering her face and ran away.
"You..." Yu Yongye was so angry that he was shaking all over. He hurriedly explained to Su Yujin, "Miss Su, don't believe her. Our two families are just closer and our ages are almost the same. But I have been studying since I was young and I don't play with others much. It's really not the case that we are childhood sweethearts."
"You don't need to explain too much. We all know what kind of people they are." Su Yujin said, "As for Shuangye, you still need to explain more to avoid Shuangye misunderstanding."
"Of course." Yu Yongye agreed with a cupped hand, but his face was full of annoyance. "But right now Hu Qiaohui is pestering me like this, which is really annoying. I'm really afraid..."
I'm really afraid that something might happen as time goes on.
And although he disliked Hu Qiaohui, she was a man after all, and a neighbor not far away, so he really couldn't beat or scold her. Even if he spoke harshly to her, it would be considered bullying.
There is a kind of tofu that falls into the ashes, and you can neither blow it nor hit it.
"Shuang Ye is a man of good sense and understanding. She can probably see through Hu Qiaohui's tricks. However, this kind of thing really shouldn't be delayed any longer, lest more accidents happen."
Su Yujin said, "If it is according to my idea, since Yu Xiucai likes Shuangye and Zhao Bo Niang agrees, many things can be done in advance. It can also completely cut off some people's thoughts and avoid damaging your and Shuangye's reputation."
Delaying in making things clear will only give Hu Qiaohui enough time and opportunity to stir up trouble, which will be a loss-making outcome.
"Miss Su is right. I didn't think it through." Yu Yongye was full of shame and bowed to Su Yujin repeatedly. "I will go back and discuss the marriage proposal with my mother at home."
"I am from Shuangye's family. If I were to become her sister, I would treat Shuangye as a family member and marry her off in style."
These are the etiquettes and rules that should be followed.
She would also give the dowry from her parents' home in full according to etiquette, which gave Shuangye confidence.
Su Yujin didn't say it openly, but Yu Yongye also understood, "Thank you for your help, sister. Please rest assured, Shuangye is the best girl I have ever met. I will definitely treat her wholeheartedly for the rest of my life."
After saying this, he bowed deeply.
"Mr. Yu still has a lot of things to do, and I also have things to do here, so I'll take my leave first." Su Yujin bowed, and continued to carry the basket full of hanging oven baked cakes and walked forward with Ai Cao.
Beggars in Qinghe County would beg on the streets at mealtimes, and most of them would gather near restaurants and food shops, hoping to meet kind-hearted people and receive some steamed buns, dumplings, leftover noodles, etc.
The last two sentences of Chapter 163 were changed to Su Yujin and Ai Cao walking together There are more and more sheep around, pray, pray, pray...
