Chapter 383 I’m not afraid of the Marquis, but I’m afraid of Yuyu
In the small courtyard.
The Yu family's father and son drove Li Zi out, and Li Zi wanted to talk to Yu Mingzhu for a while.
Yu Qing crossed his arms over his chest, a fierce look on his face: "If you don't want to die, get out of here right now. Mingzhu didn't report you two, this black-hearted mother and son, to the authorities, which is already embarrassing for you two. If you don't leave now, don't blame me for being rude."
Li Zi locked his neck and walked away in fear.
Yu Qing said unhappily, "You're still as spineless as before."
Three people are taking a bath behind a screen.
Jiusu felt dizzy.
The bride's name was Yibao, a poor girl from the village. She was sold by her parents to be married to Chen Bantou in a posthumous marriage. She worried, "Will I bring trouble to my two sisters?"
Yu Mingzhu rubbed her body and looked at the bathtub full of dust.
She shook her shoulders in disgust.
"Involved? I don't want to live anymore, so I'm not afraid of being implicated."
Yibao was surprised and looked to the right. After listening to Yu Mingzhu's words, she finally understood and sighed, "Oh, there are so many unfaithful men in the world, that..."
She sat up, water overflowing the tub, and tilted her head curiously.
"Are you really Lord Jiu?"
Jiusu came back to her senses and responded softly. She had a headache, as if something bad had happened. Feeling Yibao's eyes, she smiled and said, "Don't be afraid. When you have rested enough, go home."
Suddenly, Yibao burst into tears.
She choked up and said, "If I go home, I'll die too. They'll despise me for offending Concubine Xi and insist on dragging me to confess my crime. Even if I don't dare to go, they'll still drown me in the pond."
Yu Mingzhu felt sore all over. She came out of the dirty water and put on her clothes.
"So cruel? Then don't go back." She turned around and asked, "Can I let her follow me? My maid was beaten to death by Zhao Binglu."
Jiusu said: "As long as she is willing."
Yibao wanted to kneel down excitedly, but she quickly put on her clothes in the bathtub and threw herself on the ground: "This servant greets the young lady."
Yu Mingzhu smiled and said, "You don't have to call yourself a slave, just treat yourself as my sister and accompany me."
She threw away Yibao's wedding dress and changed Yibao into a beautiful dress.
For fear of being discovered, they gathered in the room to eat.
Yu Tingbei raised his glass and said, "I don't know what to call you anymore. Miss Jiu or Miss Li, you will be the benefactor of the Yu family from now on. Let us toast to you."
The brother and sister also stood up and raised their glasses to Jiusu.
Jiusu had a headache and drank tea instead of wine. She said helplessly, "You're welcome. I'm also here for the Yu family's business in South City."
Everyone sat down again.
Yu Tingbei drank the strong liquor, his eyes red as he said, "A gentleman judges deeds, not hearts. No matter what the reason, you saved my daughter. From now on, all business in Nancheng will be handled by Miss Jiu."
Jiusu once again said that they were polite.
After a while, she asked, "Is Yongjiang in South City?"
"Yes." Yu Mingzhu blinked, "My home is in Yongjiang."
Jiusu inquired, "The Cai family of Yongjiang was wiped out."
Yu Tingbei took a deep breath, spilling a lot of his wine. He put down his cup and said in surprise, "When we arrived, the Cai family was still doing well. How could they be wiped out? Perhaps it was the sins that Master Cai committed when he was young, and now he's paying for them."
evil?
"It seems that it was done by our enemies." Jiusu said.
Yu Tingbei nodded: "However, that family was killed, even the children were not spared. Logically, there should be no one left, unless a righteous person in the martial arts world avenges them."
Jiusu thought, if he wanted revenge, he would have done it long ago.
Now it seems that it is never too late for a gentleman to take revenge.
"Have you seen any suspicious people along the way?"
Yu Tingbei pondered, "There are no suspicious people. It is an honor to travel with the eldest prince."
The eldest prince? This touched Jiusu's blind spot.
She no longer spoke of the subject.
"Jiang Jing and Song Wang are going to Yongjiang to investigate a case. If you encounter them, Master Yu, please take care of them."
Yu Tingbei smiled knowingly: "I understand, Lord Jiang is the young lady's fiancé. If we meet him, I will definitely treat him well."
After a few drinks, Guan Nu could no longer hold back the anxiety that had been suppressed in her heart for a long time.
His eyes were red.
Patting his chest.
"Mingzhu, come home with us. He's just a man. We have plenty of him in South City."
Yu Mingzhu shook her head. Seeing her father's disappointment, she said, "I'm not looking for death or running away from home, nor do I want to see Li Zi. I want to stay in Shengjing and do business."
Yu Tingbei sighed, "It's good that you think so. Then you can stay in Shengjing and expand the Yu family's business there. I'll be leaving tomorrow, so let your brother stay here with you."
Yu Mingzhu frowned: "I can do it alone."
Yu Tingbei insisted, "He's already 25 and still hasn't married. You're trying to find him a wife in Shengjing. I'm not worried about you, I'm worried about him. You're really going to ruin the Yu family's lineage."
Yu Qing scratched his head and didn't dare to speak.
——
"My face has become much paler these days." Song happily paid the money, including Zhou Nuanmei and Yi Hui's share. "Thank you so much, otherwise I wouldn't be able to find the meaning of life."
Yi Hui said: "You're welcome, let's go to the teahouse and have some tea."
Song nodded happily, looking at the rainy day, and she was not as irritated as before.
My skin used to get darker when it rained.
Now she is fair and tender, and even the master says she looks ten years younger.
"It's my treat."
Zhou Nuanmei took Yi Hui's arm and said, "The roads are slippery on rainy days. You sneaked out. Aren't you afraid that Susu will be angry?"
Hearing this, Yi Hui walked more carefully.
"So, don't tell her, either of you." The teahouse had private rooms, but the noise from the girls across the street was uncomfortable. But since they were so close, she really didn't want to leave. She leaned back on the wooden chair and chuckled, "Strangely enough, I'm not afraid of the Marquis, but I am afraid of Yuyu."
The Song family has a deep understanding of this.
"I'm also afraid of Wen Zhi now."
Zhou Nuanmei ordered two pots of tea, "You two are afraid because you have a guilty conscience."
Song coughed lightly: "That's true."
"Nuanmei, how dare you say that about us." Yi Hui took a sip of tea and looked at his friend's knees, his eyes smiling but also tinged with worry. "Your knees are not good, and you still want to go out and play."
Zhou Nuanmei said helplessly, "It's boring at home. The children are busy, and Nianyin was invited to go boating."
Song's heart was filled with alarm. Her son was away on a long journey, and she couldn't afford to lose her future daughter-in-law again. She asked nervously, "Who asked Miss Jiang to go boating? She'll get cold boating in this heavy rain, won't she?"
"The daughter of the Lan family."
"Miss Lan... doesn't she have an unmarried brother?"
Zhou Nuanmei curled her lips: "Yes."
Yi Hui also added another blow.
"I heard that Master Lan is gentle, polite, and handsome. He's a man that the noble ladies of Shengjing are vying to marry."
Song grabbed Zhou Nuanmei's sleeve and said urgently, "My dear sister, Wen and Wenzhi are away. You can't marry Nianyin off. It was my fault before, but please, wait for Wenzhi to come back, okay?"
Zhou Nuanmei was angry.
Fortunately, An Wenzhi is a good guy, she said.
"It's not my place to get involved in young people's affairs. It all depends on what Nianyin likes. Mr. An is married, but my Nianyin is still single."
