At this moment, Xiao Cunyu, who was being talked about, finally felt the passionate gazes.
She casually scanned the scene below, her eyes wandering back and forth, and finally fell on the window, where she saw three people drinking tea and staring at her.
Immediately, the hand that was about to throw something stopped in mid-air.
Eldest brother, second brother, fifth brother?
The third brother is being paraded through the streets, where is the fourth brother?
Not good!
Xiao Cunyu's heart tightened, and he had a bad premonition. Without thinking too much, he quickly stood up and poured the remaining things out. Then he looked left and right, chose a safe path, and immediately prepared to leave.
"Seventh brother!" Xiao Jingyun felt his heart tighten when he saw him walking around on the roof so bravely, and he wished he could just pull him down.
Isn't he afraid of falling to his death?!
"Lululu..." Xiao Cunyu made a face at her eldest brother, then walked down along the eaves. Her graceful movements made the three brothers' hearts jump to their throats, fearing that she would accidentally step on empty air.
Soon, the man disappeared again.
When Xiao Yingting finally climbed up, he didn't even see the shadow of Xiao Cunyu. He faced the opposite side with his hands spread out, showing a big question mark, but the three brothers sighed and rolled their eyes at him.
The fourth brother is so useless. It’s such a short distance and he only climbed up now. It was a wasted trip.
Xiao Yingting looked innocent, realizing that his seventh brother really knew how to choose a place. This place was even better than the one in the restaurant. It had a wide view, a breeze, and was very refreshing. He simply stayed at the place where Xiao Cunyu had been and watched the excitement.
After Xiao Cunyu ran away, he breathed a sigh of relief.
Fortunately, she reacted quickly!
After Xiao Cunyu left in a flash, he immediately returned to his residence in the bookstore.
She had previously told Zhule where she was staying, and when she returned just now, she ran into Zhule who was looking for her.
It seems that there is some clue in the matter of Du Xiuxiang.
Zhule drank a few gulps of water, then sat down and began to chatter about the information he had learned from the government office and the Du and Xue families.
"Seventh Young Master, this Du Xiuxiang you're talking about died ten years ago. Rumors were rife at the time, saying she was dishonest and had a secret meeting. Some even said she was pregnant and her in-laws found out! The Du family who raised her have been humiliated ever since. Their daughter didn't marry off until three years ago, and she married a widower."
"The Xue family is still doing well. They make paper and have partnerships with several bookstores in the capital. For example, the 'Heavenly Bookstore' where you're staying sells their paper. The price is quite reasonable, and it's quite popular among scholars."
"After Madam Du died, the Xue family was very angry and even went to trouble with the Du family, accusing them of marriage fraud, which made the Du family very embarrassed. Later, it was the aunt of the Xue family's young master who persuaded them with kind words, and the Du family compensated Du Xiuxiang's dowry. Only then did they give up. However, the Xue family seemed to be quite nice too. After they got the dowry, they sold it all and used the money to make paper, which they donated for free to some students."
After the Xue family's young master divorced his wife, he spent three or four years carefully selecting another girl before marrying her.
"As for the Aunt Xue you mentioned, she is quite kind and has a good reputation," Zhule said again.
When Xiao Cunyu heard this, he was also dumbfounded.
Why does it sound like the Du family, the Xue family, and the married Aunt Xue all have no problems?
Since they are all good people, it makes people think that Du Xiuxiang is the worst one.
