Chapter 305 No! It’s not worth it!
It was a rare experience for Sang Zhixia to stay awake all night. Once he made up his mind about something important, he would fall asleep and not wake up until noon.
Second Aunt Xu gathered her energy and took care of the things ahead. When she learned that Sang Zhixia had fallen asleep and hadn't gotten up, she suppressed her anxiety and said, "You can't sleep any more."
I slept too much during the day and became a night owl at night. What should I do when I get home?
Second Aunt Xu clutched her handkerchief tightly and prepared to go into the house to wake Sang Zhixia up when Madam Su, who had chased her in, breathlessly said, "Boss, there's someone outside who says it's your nephew!"
"Nephew?"
Aunt Xu turned her head unexpectedly, a random thought flashed through her mind, and then she looked at Sang Zhixia who was sleeping soundly in the inner room, and couldn't help laughing out loud.
"This kid is really quick."
Madam Su didn't understand what this meant, but Aunt Xu's face was already smiling.
Aunt Xu, who was still in a dilemma a second ago, grabbed a handkerchief and pressed the corner of her mouth, saying leisurely: "Forget it, since someone who can control it is here, I won't bother to cause trouble."
"Wait for that kid to call himself."
Second Aunt Xu went to the front in a good mood, and sure enough, it was Xu Yu sitting in the front hall.
The embroidery shop is full of women, and the small courtyard at the back has been converted into wing rooms by Aunt Xu, where the embroiderers who work in the shop for a long time live.
Although Xu Yu arrived at his second aunt's shop, due to his status as a man, he could not go in directly, so he simply waited in front.
Xu Yu has been busy repairing the winding tea road at Moding Mountain recently and has not had time to go home for some time.
He probably heard that something went wrong here, and was worried that Sang Zhixia wouldn't be able to handle it properly, so he probably rode his horse hurriedly over as soon as he got the news. The hems of his black boots and clothes were still stained with mud from the mountains, and his good clothes had been rolled into a mess.
Second Aunt Xu was just about to make fun of Xu Yu for wearing dirty clothes at such a grown-up, but when she looked closely, she found some mud marks on the side of his face. She was startled and couldn't help laughing out loud.
"Buddha, what on earth did the messenger say? Why did it make you so anxious?"
He didn't even bother to change his clothes?
Following Aunt Xu's teasing gaze, Xu Yu raised his hand. As soon as his fingertips slid across his face, Aunt Xu laughed even louder.
"Ouch, stop rubbing it!"
"Open your eyes and look at the mud on your hands. There's so much dust and dirt all over your face. If someone didn't know you, they'd think you rolled around in the stove three times!"
Xu Yu was about to rub his hands again when his aunt stopped him. This time, aunt Xu was really laughing so hard that she couldn't even straighten her back.
"Come on, come on, you've already rolled into a cat, go wash up quickly and talk to me later!"
Xu Yu put down his hand, feeling both amused and helpless. He exhaled and said, "Second Aunt, I just got the news yesterday evening. I rushed all the way here without even closing my eyes. Zhizhi..."
"It's all done."
Second Aunt Xu looked as if she knew it was going to happen, and sighed, "Luckily it was Xia Xia who made the decision, otherwise I would have been so flustered at first and wouldn't have known how to end it."
Xu Yu was still worried and frowned, "Is Zhizhi okay?"
"Where is she?"
"She's fine. She just didn't sleep all night. She went to the back to rest after finishing her work."
Aunt Xu's eyes darkened as she spoke. As Xu Yu raised his eyebrows, she roughly recounted what she had told Xue Liu. Her voice was deep, "I'm not telling you this to cause you any more trouble. I just want you to have a clear mind."
"Today's chaos was caused by my careless use of personnel, so it's my responsibility to clean up the mess. However, you know your Second Aunt's limited wealth, so you'll have to use your people to sharpen the knife."
Xu Yu lowered his eyes, concealing the gloom in his eyes. He smiled and said, "Second Aunt, this arrangement is very appropriate. There is no need to explain it to me in such detail."
Li Gongjian's greed will sooner or later cause trouble. Even if Second Aunt Xu shows some mercy, Xu Yu will make the same choice when he finds out.
It would be fine if Master Li was willing to give up.
If he refuses, a sharpened knife will naturally be waiting for him.
Regardless of whether it was Second Aunt Xu or Xu Yu himself who made the decision, they did not want Sang Zhixia to know too much.
Sang Zhixia is fine the way she is now.
As for the rest...
Xu Yu lowered his eyes and said, "Second Aunt has given me a wake-up call today. I will pay more attention to Zhizhi's affairs in the future."
Sang Zhixia couldn't bring herself to do it, so he did it.
Second Aunt Xu smiled, nodded, and said, "It's good that you understand."
"Okay, I just happened to have two sets of clothes made for each of you kids a few days ago. Luckily, they're still in the shop and haven't been sent home yet. Hurry up and change into something clean and go in to wake Xia Xia up."
Second Aunt Xu chased Xu Yu and forced him to wash and regain his former handsomeness. She personally took Xu Yu away from the embroiderer in the backyard and watched Xu Yu enter the room where Sang Zhixia was.
Sang Zhixia often traveled between the county town and the village. Aunt Xu specially reserved a separate room for her in the embroidery shop for her to live in alone, so it would not be a problem for Xu Yu to go in at this time.
Second Aunt Xu thought that Xu Yu cared the most about Sang Zhixia's health. She had emphasized that Sang Zhixia should get up and eat. Soon the couple would surely come out together.
Because there was an extra Xu Yu, Aunt Xu was afraid that the food she had prepared earlier would not be enough, so she went to the small kitchen and added some extra food.
But the food on the stove has been heated up twice, but there is still no chance to serve it out.
Not only did Sang Zhixia not get up, but even Xu Yu, who came in later, was silent!
In the side room, Xu Yu was pulled to lie on his side on the bed. He wanted to wake up Sang Zhixia who was sleeping soundly, but the voice that came out of his mouth became softer and softer uncontrollably.
"Zhizhi, Second Aunt said you didn't eat much for dinner yesterday, so you can't sleep anymore."
Sang Zhixia was sleeping in a daze. She wrapped herself in the quilt and hummed twice without responding.
Seeing that she refused to open her eyes, Xu Yu said helplessly: "Zhizhi, get up and eat before going to sleep."
Sang Zhixia hummed vaguely, and her words and heart were not in agreement as she buried her neck and head directly into the quilt.
Xu Yu made up his mind to pull the person out from under the quilt, but as soon as he raised his hand, Sang Zhixia, who had her eyes closed, hugged him with both hands.
Sang Zhixia dazedly moved over and pressed her face against Xu Yu's palm, rubbing her cheek against his for a moment and muttering, "Xu Yu, stop messing around..."
Xu Yu closed his eyes and took a deep breath: "Zhizhi..."
"I'm so sleepy, if you make any more noise I'll kick you out..."
"I……"
"Stop talking!"
Sang Zhixia, who was feeling quite sleepy, suddenly got angry. Without even opening her eyes, she got up and bit Xu Yu's slightly open mouth. Her neck softened and her head rested on Xu Yu's chest. She said in a muffled voice, "Don't make any noise. Let me sleep a little longer..."
"Just a little while..."
After being bitten, Xu Yu was speechless. He listened to the even breathing sound in his chest and stared at the bed curtain above his head with a silent smile in his eyes.
At the same time, Aunt Xu, who had asked for the eighth time if he hadn't woken up yet, got the same answer again. She was so angry that veins on her forehead rolled and she sighed, holding her forehead.
"Why on earth would I believe that guy would be willing to wake someone up?"
"Has Xu Yu ever been so arrogant in front of Xia Yatou?!"
"No!"
“It’s not worth it at all!”
