Chapter 369: Almost Crying
"How do I know you want to go?" He Zhiyan said indifferently.
He clearly looked reluctant when he came here, so she wouldn't rush to do it and make herself unhappy.
He Zhimin choked: "No matter what, as the elder sister, shouldn't you take me, your younger sister, with you wherever you go?"
As it should be.
He Zhiyan was displeased, but she managed to hold it back: "Okay, let's go."
Don't be angry, don't be angry. He Zhimin is a fool. If you argue with her, others will be the ones who will be embarrassed in the end.
"Hmph, if dad hadn't insisted that mom come, I wouldn't want to come." He Zhimin snorted, as arrogant as a peacock.
She was still resentful of Lu Xiang's unwillingness to associate with her.
Qiao Jingru glanced at He Zhimin with an indescribable look, and walked towards Qixia Courtyard silently.
As she walked, she suddenly felt unwell. She looked behind her from time to time, but did not see anything unusual.
"Jingru, what's wrong?" He Zhiyan saw Qiao Jingru walking and stopping, looking uneasy.
Qiao Jingru frowned suspiciously: "I always feel like someone is secretly watching us from behind."
But all around was quiet again.
He Zhiyan looked around after hearing this and asked, "Maybe I'm wrong."
He Zhimin listened to the conversation between the two and suddenly got goose bumps all over his body. He felt uneasy: "You...you guys, don't scare me."
How could such a strange thing happen in the Lu family?
Qiao Jingru looked at He Zhimin, who was arrogant but timid as a rabbit, and suddenly sighed: "This is the first time Fifth Miss has come to the Lu family. I'm afraid you don't know that the original owner of this house died in vain, and there have always been unclean things since then. You know, when the Lu family came to Beijing, they didn't have enough money, so they bought this house at a low price."
Dirty things?
He Zhimin's teeth were chattering with fear, his face turned pale, and one hand tightly grasped He Zhiyan's arm.
He Zhiyan felt as if her flesh was about to be pinched off.
"Hiss... Fifth sister, be gentle."
As she spoke, she looked at Qiao Jingru helplessly with a faint smile in her eyes.
This girl, she really thought Qiao Jingru had noticed something unusual, it turned out that she was deliberately trying to scare He Zhimin.
Although He Zhiyan's hand was pinched and hurt, she felt warm in her heart.
"Big...Big sister, I'm scared." He Zhimin stopped pinching, but her two hands were like iron arms and she still had no intention of loosening her grip: "I want to go back, I don't want to stay here, I want to go home."
The trembling voice was about to cry.
Qiao Jingru: "Miss Fifth, please feel free to go back. Just follow this road and you will be out of the garden. If you don't know the gate, you can ask the servants in the mansion to lead the way."
"I don't want it. Big sister, please come with me."
"No, Zhiyan has to go to Qixiayuan with me." Qiao Jingru said before He Zhiyan spoke.
He Zhimin glared at Qiao Jingru: "As the master of the Lu family, is this how you treat guests?"
"Don't be afraid, Miss Fifth. We have lived here for so long, and nothing has happened. Although my third sister behaves strangely from time to time, you know that this kind of thing likes beautiful women, such as you, Miss Fifth."
No, I don't know.
And I don’t want any praise from you at all now.
He Zhimin wanted to cry.
A narrow smile flashed across Qiao Jingru's eyes, and she changed the subject in a timely manner: "We are almost at Qixia Courtyard, let's go quickly."
She really felt something was wrong, but since He Zhimin was timid, it didn't stop her from taking the opportunity to scare her.
He Zhiyan nodded and almost half dragged He Zhimin away.
He Zhimin didn't want to go, but he didn't dare to leave alone.
"Young Master, the Young Madam has finally come back home, why don't you go to see her?" Wen Zhu watched her master following a few people stealthily, secretly looking at the Young Master's grandmother, speechless.
Lu Chao hid in the dark, staring at the entrance of Qixia Courtyard without blinking, and shook his head with a profound look on his face, "You don't understand."
Wenzhu's mouth twitched slightly. He was not a worm in the young master's stomach, so how could he understand?
"Please enlighten me, young master."
"Qiao Qiao hasn't forgiven me yet. If I forcibly stop her, she will argue with me and that would be a joke to outsiders. Then her good intentions of coming to my house with her mother-in-law today would be wasted. Or else she didn't argue with me to save the Lu family's reputation, but this would definitely make her even more unhappy. What if I end up making things worse and make her hate me even more?" Lu Chao said in a wronged voice.
Wen Zhu: "Young Master is wise."
Suddenly I realized that my eldest young master really loves my eldest young mistress.
"How about you go and knock Qiao Qiao out when no one is around?"
asparagus:"……"
Deep love and all that shit are bullshit.
"I dare not." Wenzhu lowered his head in fear.
"Let me tell you." Lu Chao said.
Even if Wenzhu dared, he would not be willing to do so.
What if this kid doesn't know how to control his strength and hurts someone?
Alas, the person was right in front of him, but he couldn't even say a word.
That's not right. I am Lu Xiang's elder brother and can go to Qixiayuan openly. Even if Qiao Qiao doesn't want to say another word to him, it's good for him to see her up close.
Thinking of this, Lu Chao suddenly became excited as if he had been injected with chicken blood.
He straightened his collar, pulled at the hem of his shirt, stretched out his hands, and said to Wen Zhu, "Give me the coming-of-age gift I prepared for my third sister?"
Wenzhu said blankly: "Slave...slave didn't take it."
Lu Chao turned his head and glared at Wen Zhu: "Why don't you take it? How can you be a slave?"
Wenzhu said weakly, "Master, you didn't tell me to bring it."
Who was it that, upon hearing that the eldest young lady was back, almost ran away without even putting on his shoes? Did you still have the third young lady in your heart at that time?
Lu Chao choked: "As my confidant, you were wrong for not paying attention to my thoughts in advance."
Wen Zhu's mouth twitched fiercely: "..."
Young Master, you are going too far.
The one who ignored you was the eldest young lady, why are you taking your anger out on a servant?
Nowadays, it is becoming increasingly difficult to lead a master.
After Lu Chao finished speaking, he returned to Qinghuiyuan angrily to get the gift.
The back view of him, limping and jumping from time to time, looked really funny.
Wenzhu tried hard to suppress the laughter that was about to burst out of his mouth. He was a loyal servant and could not laugh at his master.
However, when Lu Chao returned to Qixiayuan with the gift, he was told that Lu Xiang had already gone to Fuyuantang.
The Lu family had no mistress, and Lu Xiang's biological mother was not around, so the coming-of-age ceremony was presided over by the old lady. Before the ceremony, Lu Xiang had to bathe first and then wait in the side room.
Before the auspicious time arrived, the maid in the courtyard stood at the door and reported: "My dear old lady, my lord, someone has come from the palace. The Empress and Concubine Zhen have both sent their female officials to come."
