Chapter 529: The Femme Fatale in the Double Life Story (28)
For several days in a row, Su Yu could hear Lin Xiuxiu's movements in the morning, and she began to dislike Xie Qinglan.
"Don't touch me, your hands are so cold." Su Yu dodged and shrank to the corner of the bed holding the notebook.
Xie Qinglan looked at the hands he had specially warmed and fell silent, trying to find excuses without paying attention.
"Who made you angry?" Xie Qinglan thought he understood Su Yu. Normally, her reaction would be that she was irritated and was upset with him.
Su Yu snorted coldly: "No one."
Xie Qinglan thought for a moment and asked tentatively: "Did I make you angry? When?"
Su Yu reluctantly turned her eyes away from the book and glanced at him from the corner of her eyes: "You ask me?"
Xie Qinglan felt that something was wrong, and his survival instinct made him speak: "No, you should ask me, I am wrong."
Su Yu raised her eyes and said, "Then tell me, what's wrong?"
Lan Ying looked anxious, and kept winking at Xie Qinglan, mouthing, "Lin Xiuxiu, Lin Xiuxiu."
Xie Qinglan tried to identify the lip movements, and he suddenly realized it, but at the same time he felt helpless: "Is it because of Miss Lin next door?"
Su Yu snorted coldly: "You ask even though you know the answer."
Lan Ying found an opportunity and said quickly, "Sir, you don't know that Miss Lin is really shameless. She knew that you had married the young lady, but she still stayed close to you all day long. She chased you every morning when she heard any noise. The young lady was angry for several days."
Su Yu glared at Lan Ying slightly and asked, "Who has been angry for several days?"
Lan Ying smiled secretly.
Xie Qinglan understood now, and a small smile flashed in his eyes: "Are you jealous?"
Su Yu tried to hide her guilt, but it only made it more obvious: "Why should I be jealous? I'm not the one who did something wrong, why should I be jealous?"
The system is excited: [The task progress bar is 47%! Does the male protagonist really think that the host is jealous and imagines that the host loves him so much? ]
Su Yu: […That’s not necessary.]
Xie Qinglan was accused of doing something wrong for no reason, and he explained jokingly: "There is nothing between Miss Lin and me. The Lin family did talk about marriage at the beginning, but my parents rejected it. Miss Lin and I haven't said a word in the past few days."
Except for the first day when Lin Xiuxiu gave him the sleeves she made by herself, but he refused them, in the following days, Lin Xiuxiu just followed him silently without saying a word.
Xie Qinglan didn't want to ask the man to leave, so he just treated him as a stranger on the same road, without any other thoughts.
Su Yu snorted in dissatisfaction: "You shouldn't say this to me."
Xie Qinglan understood: "I will make it clear to her tomorrow. As the year is coming to an end, the master has to go home and cannot teach us. I will stay at home and accompany you."
Su Yu's radar was activated, and she immediately said, "You should study hard at home."
Xie Qinglan: "...I'll listen to you."
★The next day, Xie Qinglan deliberately waited for Lin Xiuxiu halfway, intending to make things clear with her. However, as soon as he started talking, Lin Xiuxiu seemed to have guessed what he was going to say. Her face turned pale, and she didn't even give him a chance to finish his words. She ran away wiping her tears.
“…”
Xie Qinglan was disheveled in the wind.
Lan Ying looked at the door on purpose, and saw Lin Xiuxiu running back with red eyes, and she laughed triumphantly.
Lin Xiuxiu's body stiffened, she lowered her head, ran home quickly and closed the door.
Lan Ying went back to the house and told Su Yu about this, looking very happy: "My uncle must have made it clear to her. I hope Miss Lin will have some dignity and stop pestering my uncle and annoying him."
Lan Ying's idea was doomed to fail.
In less than half an hour, Lin Xiuxiu knocked on the door of the Xie family with red eyes.
The first thing she said when she saw Su Yu was: "I like Brother Xie."
Su Yu's face darkened: "Lan Ying, show the guest away."
Lin Xiuxiu has been doing farm work since she was a child and is very strong. She wanted to hide, but Lan Ying didn't hold her back for a moment, allowing her to run in front of Su Yu.
Lin Xiuxiu seemed to have been crying for a long time, her eyes were swollen. Under Lan Ying's horrified gaze, she grabbed Su Yu's sleeve and cried, "Madam Xie, I have liked Brother Xie since I was a child. Please help me. I am willing to be your concubine."
After these words were spoken, the room was silent for a few seconds.
Lan Ying never imagined that the girl from the Lin family was so shameless. A good girl from a decent family actually rushed to become someone's concubine. This man was not a high-ranking official, but just an ordinary scholar without any official position.
It’s not that Lan Ying looks down on Juren or Xie Qinglan, she just really doesn’t understand what Lin Xiuxiu is thinking.
Su Yu was really pissed off, her forehead twitched: "Grandma Sun, what are you still standing there for?"
Granny Sun reacted and quickly went to pull Lin Xiuxiu: "Miss Lin, let my young lady go."
Lin Xiuxiu cried and begged: "Thank you, my lady, please help me!"
Su Yu gritted her teeth: "Throw her out!"
In the end, it was Grandma Sun and Grandma Zhao who worked together to pull Lin Xiuxiu out and pushed her out the door.
Lan Ying scolded, "You shameless thing! My young lady has only been married for less than half a month, and you rushed to my house and said you wanted to be my concubine. Do you really think my young lady is easy to bully? Even if my young lady is kind-hearted and doesn't bother with you, the Yongchang Marquis' Mansion is not a pushover. If you do it again, your whole family will be sent to prison!"
After a round of scolding and beating, a lot of people gathered outside.
Lan Ying had no interest in being watched, so she slammed the door shut, leaving Lin Xiuxiu sitting on the ground in a mess, being pointed at and criticized.
The Lin family was shocked when they heard the noise and hurriedly helped her up and took her back.
But after this incident, Lin Xiuxiu's reputation was completely ruined.
"Serves him right! That kind of filthy thing should be thrown into the well!" Lan Ying was filled with indignation.
"Lan Ying." Su Yu's expression was dark and gloomy.
Lan Ying knew what Su Yu was going to do as soon as she heard it, and she was very proactive: "Miss, give your orders."
Su Yu took a deep breath and closed her eyes: "Do you have a bag of oleander powder?"
"Miss, do you want to?"
Su Yu slowly opened her eyes, her face was beautiful, her red lips parted slightly, like a snake spitting out its tongue: "I tried to get it into the rouge for her to use. She likes to go out so much, she is just thick-skinned. I want to know, without that thick skin, would she dare to go out?"
Lan Ying was delighted: "Miss, what you said makes sense."
After making arrangements for Lin Xiuxiu, Su Yu suddenly remembered her aunt whose leg she had broken, and asked about her situation.
Lan Ying said proudly, "Don't worry, young lady. That evil woman has a lame leg. She is afraid of hearing your name now. She prays to God every day, begging you not to bother with her."
Su Yu curled her lips: "She only has a lame leg, it's really a bargain for her."
Outside the door, Xie Qinglan just happened to hear these words.
Just as he was about to push the door open, he paused, feeling extremely helpless. At the same time, he reflected deeply on how blind he was in his previous life to think that there was no one in the world more kind and gentle than Su Yu.
