Chapter 670: Hypocrisy

This meeting ended unpleasantly.

But Lou Ruhui was very angry and said that she would never pay attention to that guy named Dou again.

Lou Ruhui was so angry that she wanted to take Xingxing out to go shopping.

Xing Xing brought the person directly to the Jinxiu Silver Shop opened by the Yu family, and waved her hand to Lou Ruhuicai in a dignified manner: "Sister Lou, take your pick, I'll give it to you!"

Seeing Xingxing's heroic look, Lou Ruhui was amused. The gloom in her eyes disappeared, and she rushed over to pinch Xingxing's cheek: "Oh my little Xingxing, why are you so popular!"

Lou Ruhui held Xing Xinglu in her arms and kneaded her for a while. She felt much better and said with a smile, "How can I take advantage of our little Xing Xing? Sister has money!"

As she spoke, Lou Ruhui began to pick out the jewelry seriously.

She took a fancy to a pearl hairpin and asked the price, which was thirty taels of silver.

This price was not expensive under normal circumstances. Lou Ruhui's family gave her fifty taels of silver per month, which was considered a high monthly allowance among the wealthy ladies in the capital.

Lou Ruhui signaled her personal maid Beichun to pay.

Beichun showed a somewhat embarrassed look, and lowered his voice to suggest: "Miss, how about having someone put the bill on hold first and send it to our mansion later?"

Lou Ruhui was a little surprised and asked, "Did you forget to bring money when you went out this time?"

Beichun became more and more embarrassed, and said hesitantly: "No, Miss... Have you forgotten? Previously, you helped many families in the suburbs to repair their courtyards... At that time, most of the money was spent."

She took out her money bag and lowered her head even more. "You only have twenty taels left from your personal savings..."

Lou Ruhui didn't expect this to be the reason and was silent for a while.

Xing Xing didn't understand what was going on, so she quickly said to Lou Ruhui, "Sister Lou, I promised to give it to you—"

Lou Ruhui suddenly patted her face to cheer herself up, and tried to sound as relaxed as possible: "It's OK to give you some snacks or fruits normally, but as an elder sister, how can I give you this pearl hairpin as a treat?"

Lou Ruhui was afraid that Xingxing would not believe her, so she emphasized, "Sister is really rich. It was just that before..."

She coughed and said with a bit of embarrassment, "I was just a nobody before. I wanted to leave a good impression in front of Mr. Dou. I was afraid that he would think I was just a lazy rich girl, so I thought of using my money to do something good for the people. Then, I helped to pay for the repairs of those broken courtyards, so that the people could have a good winter... But my money was also used to do good things, so it's nothing."

Lou Ruhui was quite open-minded. She patted Xingxing on the shoulder and said, "After this month, my mother will give me a monthly allowance, and I will have money again! My dear sister, just help me and ask the shopkeeper in your house to keep this pearl hairpin. I will come again next month, and I will definitely get this little pearl hairpin!"

Xing Xing was amused by Lou Ruhui. Without further ado, she asked the shopkeeper to take out the brocade box containing the pearl hairpin and stuffed it into Lou Ruhui's arms: "Sister Lou, don't be so formal with me. You didn't see how valuable the pair of pearl earrings your mother gave me were. I dared to accept that, so why don't you dare to accept a pearl hairpin when I give you one?"

Only then did Lou Ruhui happily accept it.

Xingxing also happily selected a few new styles.

A pair of young sisters walked out of the jewelry store arm in arm happily, but perhaps it was bad luck, as soon as they walked out the door they saw Yu Mingzhu walking towards them.

Dou Chengsong was about two or three feet behind Mingzhu, seeming to want to say something but stopping himself.

When Yu Mingzhu met Xingxing, Luo Ruhui and the others, she was stunned.

Yu Mingzhu even glared at Xing Xing directly.

Xing Xing: ???

Xingxing had no idea that Yu Mingzhu had asked her maid to investigate Dou Chengsong's affairs last time, and mistakenly thought that Dou Chengsong liked Xingxing, so she seduced Dou Chengsong in no time.

As a result, Yu Mingzhu was feeling proud when she realized that Dou Chengsong was not Xingxing's admirer at all - he was the lover of her cousin Lou Ruhui!

Yu Mingzhu simply wanted to curse.

She was too lazy to compete with her cousin for a man. She had never made any promises to Dou Chengsong in the first place, and now she just walked away and didn't want to care about Dou Chengsong anymore.

Who would have thought that at this moment she would run into Lou Ruhui walking hand in hand with Xing Xing, and Yu Mingzhu's eyes grew a little colder.

Yu Mingzhu called out "cousin" with a forced smile.

As a result, after Yu Mingzhu spoke, Lou Ruhui didn't react at all, but Dou Chengsong took a few steps forward nervously and looked at Lou Ruhui nervously!

It seemed as if Lou Ruhui, a rich lady, would disregard her dignity and start an argument with others in the street just for him!

Lou Ruhui was so angry!

It is true that Dou Chengsong does good things to help the poor people, but it seems that there is something wrong with his brain!

Lou Ruhui frowned. She really didn't want to have an ugly scene with Dou Chengsong on the street, so she reluctantly responded to Yu Mingzhu's call.

Yu Mingzhu, however, seemed to be unable to see anything. A gleam flashed in her eyes, and she smiled and said, "It seems like it's been a while since my cousin last visited my grandmother. My grandmother was still talking about my cousin a few days ago."

Lou Ruhui said, "Oh," and said, "It seems to have been a while. Then I will go visit my grandparents tomorrow."

Yu Mingzhu glanced at Xingxing who was standing next to Lou Ruhui and said with a smile, "It's just that grandpa and grandma are also missing Princess Fusui."

Xingxing didn't really want to deal with Yu Mingzhu. But Yu Mingzhu seemed oblivious to it at the moment, and pulled Ruo Ruhui aside to talk to Xingxing about some unimportant family matters.

It would be fine if it was under normal circumstances, and a few empty and evasive words would not be a big problem, but at this moment, there is Dou Chengsong next to him.

Lou Ruhui just felt uncomfortable all over.

Especially Dou Chengsong standing next to him, what the hell is that worried look in his eyes?

As if she and Xing Xing could eat Yu Ming Zhu? !

Lou Ruhui became more and more angry the longer she stayed.

Luo Ruhui took a deep breath and interrupted Yu Mingzhu abruptly: "...Cousin Mingzhu, is there anything else? If not, the princess and I are leaving."

Yu Mingzhu showed a somewhat lonely look, as if joking: "...Since my cousin got married to the princess, it seems that she has never accompanied me out to play again. I really envy the relationship between my cousin and the princess."

Lou Ruhui only felt goose bumps all over her arms.

No, these words alone are nothing special, why do they sound so uncomfortable when put together?

But before Lou Ruhui could say anything, a young girl suddenly came running towards Xing Xing and the others, screaming!

The girl was in tattered clothes and had unkempt hair, and looked a little abnormal. She rushed towards them again. In a flash, Lou Ruhui could only pull Xingxing away with one hand to prevent her from being hit.

Dou Chengsong, on the other hand, looked very nervous as he stood in front of Yu Mingzhu, blocking the disheveled girl.

The girl seemed to be mentally ill, grabbing Dou Chengsong's arm and crying and laughing.

Dou Chengsong himself was confused.

Yu Mingzhu was startled and frowned in disgust.

Dou Chengsong quickly looked around for help in embarrassment: "..."

There was no other reason. The girl grabbed his arm tightly and cried and called him "Brother Tie Niu" and "I finally found you". Obviously, she had mistaken Dou Chengsong for this Brother Tie Niu.

Lou Ruhui held Xingxing and stood far away.

She was really worried that this girl, who seemed to be a little unconscious, would suddenly attack and hurt someone.

Xingxing came with her to relax today, so Lou Ruhui naturally had to protect Xingxing first.

As a result, after others helped Dou Chengsong to control the unconscious girl, Dou Chengsong actually gave Lou Ruhui a look that was faintly blaming.

Lou Ruhui was stunned on the spot.

She even thought she was seeing things!

Until Dou Chengsong said with a hint of complaint: "...Miss Lou, Miss Yu is your sister, how can you ignore her?"

"Huh?" Lou Ruhui simply doubted her ears and looked at Dou Chengsong in surprise.

Dou Chengsong repeated it again, with a look of having survived a disaster on his face, and sighed: "Miss Lu, it was so dangerous just now, you only cared about others and didn't care about your sister? ... If I wasn't here, what would happen if Miss Yu got injured?"

At this moment, Lou Ruhui felt as disgusted as if she had eaten a fly.

She used to like Dou Chengsong because he was kind and loving.

She had decided not to like Dou Chengsong because he fell in love with another woman. No matter whether the woman was Yu Mingzhu or Li Mingzhu, Lou Ruhui was proud and would just say no.

But from the moment Dou Chengsong put Yu Mingzhu's safety on Lou Ruhui's shoulders, Lou Ruhui completely lost all her tolerance for Dou Chengsong.

In a word, just two words: get down!

You are kind and you want to protect Yu Mingzhu, so go ahead and do it yourself.

Lou Ruhui will not blame you for this, but on the contrary, why do you blame Lou Ruhui for this?

Why? Just because Lou Ruhui was blind and liked you before, does that mean she has to protect the person you care about?

Lou Ruhui was so angry that her face turned red!

Xingxing's brows were furrowed.

Yu Mingzhu spoke up at the right time: "...Mr. Dou, please don't quarrel with my cousin because of me. There's no need to do this. I'm fine."

Dou Chengsong looked at Yu Mingzhu with a hint of admiration on his face, as if he was looking at the embodiment of truth, goodness and beauty.

"Ms. Yu..." Dou Chengsong said with emotion.

As a result, the disheveled girl who was being subdued nearby suddenly jumped up like crazy, broke free from the shackles, and rushed directly towards Yu Mingzhu!

"It's you! You seduced my brother Tieniu, right?!"

Yu Mingzhu was so frightened that she screamed and pulled the person next to her to use as a human shield - the poor maid next to Yu Mingzhu was pulled in front of her like this!

Mingzhu even pushed hard, pushing the maid into the arms of the disheveled girl!

Instead, she was caught tightly by the disheveled girl!

Yu Mingzhu took the opportunity to run into the store!

The maid was terrified. In her pupils' reflection, she saw the dishevelled girl suddenly smile at her weirdly: "You seduced my brother Tieniu, you deserve to die!"

The disheveled girl took out a dagger and stabbed it into the maid's abdomen!

The expression on the maid's face changed from fear to despair and pain, and she slowly fell backwards.

This sudden change shocked everyone!

The dishevelled girl stood there with a weird look on her face, holding the blood-stained dagger in her hand, grinning neurotically and muttering to herself: "...I killed that woman! I killed that woman! Brother Tieniu is mine! He is mine!"

This is clearly insane!

Dou Chengsong was so shocked that he couldn't speak. He was completely dumbfounded!

It was hard for him to imagine that Yu Mingzhu, who had previously rescued a puppy that was about to freeze to death on the roadside and who exuded an aura of kindness, would actually do something like using a living person to protect himself from harm!

Dou Chengsong just felt heartbroken!

How could his Miss Yu be such a person? !

Xing Xing didn't care about anything else and hurriedly asked someone to help tie up the crazy, disheveled, and dagger-holding girl. She then half-knelt on the side of the road and treated the wounds of the maid lying in a pool of blood.

When Xingxing saw the wound, her eyebrows throbbed and her heart turned cold.

That crazy girl was actually holding a triangular dagger!

The wound caused by such a dagger will have a drainage and bleeding effect and is extremely difficult to heal!

Not to mention that crazy girl, she was going there to kill people and her actions were extremely ruthless!

And the maid was unlucky in the way she was injured! She was severely injured in the lungs!

Xingxing half-knelt on the ground, holding a pill to save the maid's life. She tried to save her for a long time regardless of the blood and dirt, but in the end she failed to save the maid's life.

Xingxing felt a little sad, after all, it was a human life.

She stood up slowly. The hem of her Sichuan brocade skirt, which was worth a thousand gold, was half stained with blood, and she looked very miserable.

Lou Ruhui looked at Xing Xing inquiringly: "What's wrong?"

Xing Xing shook her head slightly.

She was just a doctor, not Prince Yan, and even if she encountered a serious wound, she would be powerless to save the patient.

Yu Mingzhu stood there in shock, not knowing what she was thinking about. Suddenly, she wiped away her tears with a sad face: "Qingqing and I were like sisters, and she died like this?... Princess, please save Qingqing! Although she is just a maid, I am willing to pay a huge sum of money as long as you can save Qingqing..."

Lou Ruhui was so shocked that she was speechless!

She was also an eyewitness to what happened in a split second just now and saw it clearly!

It was obvious that the little maid Qingqing was pushed into the arms of that crazy girl by her good cousin!

At this moment, what are you saying in front of everyone, willing to pay a huge sum of money?

ha?

It sounds like Xingxing doesn't want to save this little maid named Qingqing!

Xing Xing looked coldly at Yu Mingzhu with her star-like eyes, which were a little bit cold.

"If Miss Yu really wants to save her, you might as well kneel down before the Bodhisattva in regret and beg the Bodhisattva to turn back time to a moment ago! Back to the time when you did not push her into the arms of the murderer in order to save your life!"
