Then he gently placed her on the car seat.
Looking at his peaceful sleeping face, he frowned slightly.
This is too defenseless.
How could one sleep so soundly in a strange man's carriage?
Moving his gaze upwards, he saw the faint dark circles under her eyes.
He sighed slightly and covered her with the cloak that was prepared in his carriage.
After sending the person home, the Tu family was naturally grateful.
On the other side, at the Xu family, in Xu Ying's yard.
After lying in bed for a while, Xu Ying finally woke up.
She felt the severe pain at the back of her head and cried to her mother, "It was...Tu Qingyu who pushed me. She was the one who pushed me. Mother, you have to make the decision for your daughter..."
"What's the matter?" At this time, Xu's father also stepped into the room.
"Dad..." Seeing her father, she subconsciously shrank her neck, "Dad, it was Tu Qingyu who harmed my daughter like this, I..."
But she was interrupted before she could finish her words, "If you don't provoke them, how can they push you?"
"I've told you many times before, when you're out and about, harmony brings wealth. The capital is full of powerful people, and I'm just a small minister of rites. What can I do for you?"
What a joke. He said he didn't like Tu Pu and the attitude of currying favor with the powerful for the sake of his own reputation.
But this is just a superficial effort he maintains. Who would really fall out with another minister for the sake of a daughter?
He is still the powerful Minister of Revenue.
What's more, this Shangshu and Pei Jian are close friends.
This girl who has a grudge against his daughter will still marry into the Pei family in the future.
"Dad..." Xu Ying looked at her father in a daze, her eyes full of disbelief and hurt.
Her fall was quite severe and she almost had a close call with death.
But her father not only had no intention of seeking justice for her, but also started blaming her.
She turned her head and looked at her mother who was sitting at the head of the bed, "Mom..."
Xu's mother didn't feel sorry for her when she saw her tearful eyes, but she was a little annoyed.
"Your father is right. I told you a long time ago not to get into trouble with the little girl from the Tu family. Why didn't you listen?
Who are you? Who is she? Why do you have to pick on her?
If it weren't for the difficulty of raising a daughter, and if the grown-up daughter could be married off to gain benefits for the family, she really wouldn't want to stay here for so many days.
"What is my status? What is her status?" Xu Ying muttered to herself, "We are both the legitimate daughters of the current Shangshu, so why is she more noble than me?"
When these words were spoken, both Xu's father and mother were stunned.
Indeed, they are all daughters of second-rank ministers.
It’s just that Mr. Tu really attaches too much importance to his old daughter, so everyone in Beijing unconsciously elevates Tu Qingyu’s status.
The look in Xu Ying's eyes when she looked at them, was there anything she didn't understand?
This is why she was jealous of Tu Qingyu.
Obviously, everyone has the same background, but everyone thinks that Tu Qingyu is more noble than her, Xu Ying.
Because the other party's parents and brothers all treat her like a treasure, but she is not loved by her father and mother.
Even the man she liked was someone else's chosen husband a long time ago.
She pulled the quilt over her and said sullenly, "My daughter is tired and wants to rest."
Father Xu was stung by her cold attitude, "Look at you, is this how you treat your parents?
So many rules and regulations for women have been read into a dog's stomach!"
It was Madam Xu who stopped him. "Forget it. My daughter just woke up and really needs more rest. Let's go out first."
She pulled him outside, and even when they reached the gate of the yard, Xu's father was still cursing.
"You're the one who made me like this."
"That's enough." Madam Xu said helplessly, "You don't want your daughter to be separated from us after she gets married, do you?"
When Mr. Xu heard Li Xin's words, he immediately shut up.
It is not easy for a family to raise a daughter, as daughters will have to marry out in the future.
It is really not good for a daughter who has been raised with great difficulty to become estranged from her family when it is time for her to get married.
He coughed lightly, "You, you have time to pay more attention to her, and it would be best if you could persuade her. You can't let her do whatever she wants outside."
"I know. I'll find time to talk to him."
Only after they were far away did Xu Ying pull down the quilt.
Her tears had already soaked the pillow.
Now the area around his eyes is red and swollen, and his eyes are full of jealousy and viciousness.
Tu Qingyu...
Once she recovers, she will definitely find a way to snatch Pei Lang away.
How can you have all the good things in the world?
It took her a month to recover from this injury.
During this month, Tu Qingyu had "encountered" Pei Jian by chance for the fifth time.
In the teahouse, Tu Qingyu was about to go downstairs with two good friends when he bumped into Pei Jian who was going upstairs.
She said with a smile, "Uncle Pei also comes to these places?"
"Yeah." He nodded slightly, "Something happened."
What did I mean by something? It was just that I saw Tu Qingyu's special carriage from the Tu family downstairs, so I came up here specially.
"Then...Uncle Pei, you are busy, I will take my leave first."
His eyes were indifferent, showing no emotion, and he only responded softly, "Yeah."
Tu Qingyu walked straight past him. He seemed to be walking calmly towards the private room on the other side, but in fact his steps were very slow and his eyes were still on Tu Qingyu.
After going downstairs, Yu Qi and Zhou Baozhu both breathed a sigh of relief.
Yu Qi: "This is too scary, Qingyu, how can you still laugh?"
Zhou Baozhu: "Yeah, I don't even dare to look at him."
Tu Qingyu looked up and saw that the window of the box on the second floor was open.
She smiled and said, "Is it scary? Not really. I think Uncle Pei is a good person."
Pei Jian upstairs tightened his hands on the windowsill.
Very good people...
Tsk, how many years has it been since I heard such words?
After a long time, he let go of his hand and began to fiddle with the Buddhist beads on his wrist again.
Tu Qingyu lowered his head in satisfaction. "Let's go. Let's go back. Let's go to my house first. I'll give you a taste of the peach blossom wine brewed by my father. It tastes very good if you warm it up a little."
"Okay, I've been craving Uncle Tu's wine for a long time. Unfortunately, Uncle Tu doesn't give it away. My father occasionally gets some, but he never lets me taste it."
"I'll let you drink as much as you want today."
She took the two of them and walked towards her own carriage, chatting with Dabao in her heart as she walked.
Dabao: "Master, is this how Pei Jian's skills are used?"
It seems like people learn lip reading for use on the battlefield?
Tu Qingyu: "It doesn't matter when he uses it. I don't believe he hasn't used it at other times."
Dabao: "Yeah, hey, Master, look, isn't that Xu Ying? What is she going to do?"
There were a few people following her stealthily from behind.
