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 find Master Xue to plead with her parents together."
At that time, Master Xue had already arranged another marriage, and the other party's family was no less prestigious 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 a commotion would only lead to losses for both sides. Young Master Xue then had a sinister plan and smothered Miss Lu with a quilt before dumping 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 late and the dew is heavy. Madam, you should wear more clothes to avoid getting 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 Madam 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 there any intention to flirt with Xie Zhao.
Men will only affect the speed at which she draws her sword!
Being wealthy and well-known, Jiang Yuzhu didn't think too much of it. "You think the master wouldn't be suspicious?"
Hongli was a sincere man. He didn't agree with his wife's idea at all. Instead, he said bluntly: "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 made an appointment to embroider together?
This is of course a request for a partner, how obvious could it be?
The most infuriating thing is not this, but that they are obviously a couple and the master didn’t take the bait and were not moved at all!
Jiang Yuzhu slumped down on the chair and cried, "It's over, it's all over. This is a huge misunderstanding!"
Fortunately, Xie Zhao didn't react. He is indeed the hero in the book who is not interested in women and is devoted to his career.
Jiang Yuzhu was upset for a moment, then relieved the next, changing very quickly.
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 message that the guests who came to celebrate the birthday could leave.
A crescent moon hangs in the sky, shedding a thin layer of moon frost.
The wind was strong in the evening and the fallen flowers were blown away by the wind.
Jiang Yuzhu stared at Luohua, wishing she could teleport 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 had originally wanted to discuss with Princess Yutan about going to see Qiao Ying and Yu Jiaojiao, but out of the corner of her eye she saw Xie Zhao's servant Liang An approaching and hurriedly urged the driver, "Hurry, hurry up!"
Soon, the sound of horse hooves was heard, leaving Princess Yutan stunned. Was Jiang Yuzhu chased away by a ghost?
Seeing Xie Zhao on horseback, Princess Yutan raised her lips slightly and said, "Interesting."
Every thing has its own conqueror. It turns out Jiang Yuzhu is afraid of Xie Zhao!
The next day after returning to the Jiang residence, Hongli came excitedly to deliver the news: "Hurry up and go to the side hall, the second young master is back!"
Jiang Yuzhu stood up suddenly, unable to conceal her excitement: "Second brother is back?"
The Jiang family was worried about him, and when the twelfth month came, they received the news that Jiang Huaiqing had returned to Beijing.
When they reached the side hall, Jiang Yuzhu saw a man with a bruised face and nose, and she couldn't see his face. She was puzzled and asked, "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 made a lot of gains during his trip to Jiangnan. I 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? How did you get hurt like this?"
Jiang Huaiqing's eyelids twitched. The man he was competing with was more powerful than a bandit, 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 of the capital, fighting has rules: you don't hit people in the face!
Unexpectedly, Princess Yutan punched Jiang Huaiqing in the face, and he was almost mad with anger.
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 only way back to Beijing from the Wei Mansion's villa and made an appointment to fight with Princess Yutan.
So he was beaten before he could hold out for a few rounds.
Although it was embarrassing, Jiang Huaiqing had already 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.
"Second brother, did you bring anything for Fendie? She asked me several times."
The spring breeze has spread, 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..."
When Jiang Huaiqing learned that his younger sister had beaten Feng Qing, he felt very relieved and hated himself for not being there at the time, otherwise the three brothers and sisters could have teamed up to beat Feng Qing up.
"Jiang Huaiqing, what are you talking about with Yuzhu again? You are the only one with so many tricks up your sleeve."
Chen came to the side hall and saw her son acting suspiciously. She smiled and said, "Where did you get injured again? I have arranged to meet several ladies. Your marriage can't be delayed any longer."
The injury happened to be on the face, and Chen suspected that her second son was deliberately avoiding her.
When Jiang Huaiqing heard about the marriage, he was horrified and 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 choose 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 why 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 she likes is a man?"
If that's the case, no matter how many people you meet, you won't like 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, I have something on my mind. I will marry once I've accomplished 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!
Unexpectedly, Chen misunderstood again: "Mother was wondering why you hadn't gotten married yet. It turns out you were 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 is not unenlightened. It is enough for her to have her daughter accompany her. Chen can send Jiang Huaiqing to the north.
