Chapter 722 Liu Mei
No matter how many people come over, I'm afraid they won't believe it. If the young ladies in Nanxiang see the change in Lu Yun today, they will probably be shocked. The husband they once admired can actually be so tender. But Lu Yun's tenderness is only for Xu. If it were him, he would just turn back into the cold and ruthless man who only talked about the world, not beauty or emotions.
Xu Xi knew that there was nothing attractive about him. Lu Yun treated him with such affection that he always felt a little distant and uneasy. Knowing Xu Xi's uneasiness, Lu Yun wanted to be with Xu Xi from time to time these days to give him some comfort. After resting for a night, the next day, Xu Miaomiao wanted to buy seeds early.
After buying the seeds, Lu Yun accompanied her.
Xu Xi found it fun, so he followed the three of them walking in the middle of the street, forming a beautiful trend. Xu Miaomiao and Xue Xinxi were both pretty and beautiful, attracting a lot of attention. With a handsome and elegant man following them, naturally there were more people paying attention to them. Feeling these gazes, Xu Xi always felt a little nervous and embarrassed, and wanted to lower his head.
Realizing that something was wrong with him, Xu Miaomiao simply took his hand and gave him her love. Although Xu Xi had gotten much better than before, he was still sensitive inside. Xu Miaomiao couldn't help but care about him a little more, fearing that he would have some bad thoughts when he was in a bad mood.
The three of them were walking in the middle of the road, but Xu Xi suddenly stopped and picked up a hairpin and began to study it for a long time. This was a hairpin on the side of the road, but it was made very delicately, and the butterflies on it were lifelike, which made people stop and look at it for a few more times. Seeing that he saw the hairpin, Xu Miaomiao had not finished speaking when Lu Yun's voice rang out: "If you like it, buy it."
Xu Xi nodded slightly. Just as she was about to speak, she felt her hands suddenly empty. Another lady had already taken the hairpin away. Looking to the side, she saw a woman in yellow clothes. Compared with the monotonous clothes of Xu Xi and Xu Miaomiao, she had a more lively aura. She looked at the boss in front of her and said, "Boss, how much is this hairpin? I want it."
Hearing this, Xu Xuxi was a little dissatisfied. She looked at the boss and said, "I saw this first."
"Have you paid? Then why can't I have mine? I'll give you more silver." The woman said this and threw the silver in her hand over.
The stall owner saw so much money and nodded at him: "Thank you, madam. Thank you, madam."
Seeing this scene, Xu Xi was indeed a little dissatisfied. He looked at the boss and began to argue: "This is obviously something I liked first. You can't sell it to him. I can afford the price he offered."
When Xu Miaomiao heard this, she nodded and said, "No matter how much money he pays, we will pay twice as much as he does."
Hearing that this person was obviously here to mess up her business, the girl next to her was unwilling to do so. She stared at Xu Xi and was about to curse him, but something strange flashed in her pupils. She said, "Liu Juan, why is it you?"
Hearing this name, Xu Xi opened his eyes wide in shock. Before, when he was in Nanxiang, Madam Jiang told him about his past and used this name, Liu Juan. So he also knew that she used to be called Liu Juan.
But now that it was brought up, Xu Xi felt a little nervous.
Seeing this, Xu Miaomiao took Xuexi's hand and said, "We don't want this thing anymore. I'll make you a better hairpin when we get back."
He even wanted to take Xu Xi away.
But the woman grabbed Xu Xi and kept talking to him, "Liu Juan, I'm Liu Mei, your cousin. Have you forgotten me? We once went boating together. Are they the ones who are trying to kidnap you?"
Seeing this, Xu Xi immediately shook off the woman's hand and said to him solemnly: "Madam, I don't know you, and I am not the Liu Juan you mentioned. My name is Xu Xi, and the person next to me is my sister. Please respect yourself."
After that, Xu Xi was about to leave with Xu Miaomiao, but Liu Mei behind him said loudly: "Xu Xi, weren't your family exiled? Why are you here? Private teaching back to the capital is a capital crime! Aren't you afraid that I will report you to the police?"
Hearing this, Xu Xi suddenly froze in place and stopped moving forward. He turned around in disbelief, and seemed a little flustered.
When Xu Miaomiao heard this, she was dissatisfied and took two more steps towards the woman opposite her: "What do you want?"
When Liu Mei saw Xu Miaomiao speak, she knew that the other party was in trouble. She straightened her body slightly, looked at the two of them, and then said, "Your family is really unlucky. Your father was originally an honest official, but he was a fool. Obviously, if he had agreed to the county magistrate's request, none of these things would have happened. He insisted on being fair, so naturally, your family would have become like this. But later I heard that they died on the way to exile. Some people also said that you were dead, but why are you here? I know you must have escaped, right? If this matter is known to others, you will all die."
"So, what do you want to do?"
Xu Miaomiao looked at the woman opposite and spoke solemnly.
The woman smiled proudly, raised her chin, listened to Xu Xi's words, and then slowly said: "Before, we were cousins after all, and I respected you. Your family is in trouble, and I won't say anything. But now I am also in trouble, I just want Xu Xi to come with me."
This time he used Xu Xi instead of Liu Juan, which showed that they were willing to let him go, but he insisted that Liu Juan must go with him, and Xu Miaomiao didn't understand why.
"What do you want him to do? If you don't explain clearly, I won't give her to you."
Xu Miaomiao looked at him and spoke solemnly. Liu Mei reacted for a while. It seemed that Xu Miaomiao had spoken. I will tell you the truth: "I will not beat around the bush. The old husband of the Xu family's eldest wife died, and now he is looking for a second wife. In order to be able to climb up to the relatives of the Xu family, my family asked me to be his concubine. If Xu Xi comes back, I naturally don't have to marry him. Why would an old man in his seventies or eighties want to marry me?"
Upon hearing this, Xu Miaomiao was a little surprised. She thought that the reason why Madam Zhang went to Bai County to take Xu Xi away was because of this incident. Unexpectedly, Liu Jiajian also had a relationship with the Xu family. This world is really small. They just came to the capital, but they still couldn't escape this.
