Chapter 104 Xuexue, don’t you want to see him?
It's late at night.
Lu Changqing was drunk and was strolling on the street with his servant.
"Second Master, you've drunk so much, let's go home early!" Tingcha advised.
"Are we there yet? Didn't you say we were in Rong'anfang?" He had just taken a few relatives from Linyao to the Sihai Restaurant for a feast and drinks, spending most of the two hundred taels of silver. Afterwards, he asked someone to send the relatives back home, while Lu Changqing himself insisted on coming to find Fang Qianxue's new house.
"Yes, the owner of Sihai Restaurant did say that the Fang Mansion is in Rong'anfang." Late in the evening, Tingcha supported him all the way and felt speechless.
If you cared about her, you shouldn't have been so indecisive in the first place. Now that she's gone, why did you come to see her so late at night?
"She bought a new house, and I haven't come to congratulate her yet," Lu Changqing narrowed his eyes and looked around the house one by one, a blush on his handsome face, "We clearly agreed at the beginning, 'Red candles smile at the newlyweds, and we will live together in old age'. She bought a house... How could I not come?"
"Second Master, please slow down," Tingcha supported Lu Changqing and suddenly saw a house surrounded by high walls in front of them with bright lights, "Second Master, look! Isn't that it!"
The owner of Sihai Restaurant said that Fang Mansion was the most luxurious house in Rong'anfang, especially the tall Qilin Residence inside the wall, which was lit all night long.
Lu Changqing looked at the high wall in front of him, sobered up a little instantly, and slowly walked towards the courtyard gate.
The words "Fang Mansion" were written on a plaque with black background and green characters. He recognized it as Fang Qianxue's handwriting. When her handwriting was delicate, she could write tiny regular script, and when her handwriting was grand and majestic, she could write cursive script which was also very interesting.
"Tingcha, go knock on the door."
"Ah?" The servant was stunned and looked around. "Second Master, let's just take a look. Why are you knocking on the door so late at night?"
The people living in Rong'anfang are either rich or noble, and most of them come from scholarly families. They like peace and quiet, but they go knocking on the door so late at night. Don't be mistaken for bad guys and arrested!
"It's okay. It's not midnight yet. Qianxue will be happy to see me." Lu Changqing leaned against the door and took out a jade hairpin wrapped in a brocade handkerchief from his arms. "She must want to see me very much. If someone opens the door and gives her this jade hairpin, she will know it's me..."
This jade hairpin is for men. He forgot in which year Fang Qianxue gave it to him. He originally wanted to pawn the hairpin today, but when he arrived at the pawnshop he still couldn't make up his mind, so he ended up pawning only the jade pendant.
Tingcha took the jade hairpin wrapped in the brocade handkerchief with half belief and half doubt, and sighed softly. Every time the Second Master got drunk, he would talk a lot.
“Knock on the door!”
"Yes." The servant mustered up his courage and knocked on the door, "Bang, bang, bang!"
Fang Qianxue was just about to go to bed when a maid suddenly reported that someone was knocking on the door.
"Just kick him out. It's so late. If he's not a bad guy, then he has a mental problem." Fang Qianxue yawned and was about to lie down.
She waited for Jiang Xu the whole day today, but Jiang Xu stayed at the Princess's Mansion for dinner, so she had no chance to talk to him and was feeling depressed.
"Sir, outside the door is..." Cui Shuang hesitated to speak.
"Whoever he is."
"It's Lord Lu." Cui Shuang took out something wrapped in a brocade handkerchief from her sleeve and slowly opened it. "He asked the servants to give you this hairpin, saying that you would definitely come to see him after you see it."
The moment Fang Qianxue saw the jade hairpin, she froze while about to lie down, then slowly sat up.
This jade hairpin was specially made for Lu Changqing on her birthday one year. It was carved with auspicious cloud patterns commonly used by men. It was nothing special, but there was a small word "snow" engraved on it, which represented her love.
"Sir, would you like to see it?" Cui Shuang handed over the hairpin.
Fang Qianxue just took a look and waved her hand: "Give it back to him. Since I gave it to him, I won't take it back."
"Lord Lu wants to see you," Cuishuang said. "The concierge said he seemed...drunk, crying and laughing."
"No, ask the doorman to kick him out. Don't get drunk and act crazy in front of me." Fang Qianxue said as she got into bed.
"Yes." After hearing her words, Cui Shuang immediately went out and handed the hairpin to the maid who delivered the message. She whispered a few words to the maid, and the maid hurried away.
About an incense stick later, a maid came to report that Lu Changqing had left, but she smashed the hairpin when she left.
"Sir, this hairpin was thrown at our door, you see..." Cui Shuang was extremely angry.
Mr. Lu is really a piece of shit! This hairpin was a gift from his wife to him, and he just smashed it like that. Who is he trying to show off to?
My Lord is soft-hearted by nature, and I'm afraid he will be sad all night after seeing this hairpin.
Fang Qianxue sat up again and took the hairpin that was broken into two pieces from Cuishuang's hand: "Got it, I'll keep this hairpin for now, you can leave now."
"Yes." Cui Shuang lowered her head and stepped back.
"Shouldn't you be short of money? Just smash it like that..." Fang Qianxue held the broken hairpin in her hand, smiled bitterly, put on a cloak and stood up.
She wanted to throw the hairpin into the pond of Qilin Residence, but when she walked into Qilin Residence, she found it was unusually quiet and she could not even hear the usual breathing sound of Qilin.
Fang Qianxue threw the hairpin away and walked quickly into the inner room. Suddenly, she felt a bolt of lightning in her head.
Qilin is gone!
Oh my God! Where did it go?
Because Qilin was docile and obedient, she usually didn't put shackles on it and let it move freely, but she didn't expect to be stabbed in the back by this guy.
A spiritual beast is hard to be seen once in a hundred years, let alone catching it. If she loses the Qilin, she will surely be beheaded and her entire clan will be exterminated!
When Fang Qianxue thought of the Fang family and her two children, she suddenly felt a chill running down her feet.
It’s over, it’s all over!
Her first reaction was to run to Prince Beining's Palace and ask him to catch Qilin back while the emperor and empress were still unaware of the matter.
But just as he was about to go out, he saw a pair of lantern eyes looking around in the yard, looking like a guilty thief.
"Qilin!" Fang Qianxue cried with joy and ran out to hug Qilin's neck, but suddenly found that Qilin was holding a person in his mouth, "You ate a person?!"
Fortunately, the man is still alive.
Qilin opened his mouth, laid the person flat on the ground, and then came over to Fang Qianxue and wagged his tail: "Xuexue, I brought Jiang Xu here, come and praise me!"
"..." Fang Qianxue looked at the man lying in the white sand, and felt that her heart, which had just been put down in her stomach, jumped up to her throat again.
Jiang Xu was wearing a white nightgown that almost blended in with the white sand, and he was obviously confused.
The man just woke up from his sleep, his handsome face was stained with a little bit of night wind, his black hair was messy, and he was shivering: "Where... Where am I? Ah!!"
It seemed as if he had been bitten by a Qilin on his back, and it hurt whenever he moved.
Fang Qianxue glared at Qilin, who grumbled aggrievedly: "Xuexue, don't you want to see him?"
"This is... in my house." Fang Qianxue wished she could find a crack in the ground to crawl into. She took off her cloak and covered Jiang Xu with it. "Sorry, I'll send someone to take you back right away."
