Chapter 73: Proper Arrangement

The contract Qu Fengyin adopts a sharing system, and there may not have been such a cooperation method before, and the shopkeeper was dumbfounded, but the more he saw the back, the more he admired Qu Fengyin's business acumen. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

Smiling and stroking his palms, the shopkeeper nodded, looked at Qu Fengyin very respectfully, and then said with a smile: "Miss Qu is really a real person, and every time the eldest lady will bring a different shock to the old man." ”

Qu Fengyin also accepted the shopkeeper's praise with peace of mind, nodded, and then said to the shopkeeper: "Since the shopkeeper also agrees with the terms I listed, then please sign the words first." After speaking, Qu Fengyin remembered that he hadn't prepared pen and ink yet, and twisted his brows, and it happened that Xiaoxi walked in from outside with a tea tray.

Qu Fengyin's eyes lit up, and then beckoned to Xiaoxi. "Xiaoxi, after serving the tea, you go and get some pen and ink for your young lady, and then bring a ink."

Xiaoxi nodded, put down the tea and looked at the contract on the table, and suddenly her whole body was full of energy, there is no way, who let her have to take care of this matter in the future.

After the contract was signed, Qu Fengyin handed the book in his hand to the shopkeeper with a solemn face.

"The shopkeeper, the contract is in duplicate, from today we can be regarded as real partners, and I hope that the shopkeeper will not dislike me for not drying up." Qu Fengyin is telling the truth, of course, there is also a feeling of turning over, after all, the shopkeeper teased her like this at the beginning.

When the shopkeeper heard Qu Feng's words, his old face suddenly turned red, smiled awkwardly, and kept waving his hand.

"Naturally not, the old lady also hopes that the eldest lady will not dislike the old lady, and her eyes are not good......"

Well, that's a beautiful thing to say, Qu Fengyin nodded, indicating that he didn't mind at all.

"Shopkeeper, my jewelry shop will be entrusted to you in the future, I may have to go out in the next time, you can rest assured, I will get in touch with you as soon as possible after arriving at the destination, during this period, my maid will replace me to cooperate with you."

As he spoke, Qu Fengyin pushed Xiaoxi in front of the shopkeeper. "This girl is usually stupid, but she is full of energy, I will hand her over to you in the future, even if you call her for anything, you can directly hand over the usual accounts to her, this girl's accounting skills are still first-class."

The shopkeeper glanced at Xiaoxi with a curious gaze, Xiaoxi did not drop the chain at the critical moment, nodded, very dignified, Qu Fengyin didn't know why, and suddenly saw the shadow of the future female owner on Xiaoxi.

Maybe this girl is a buildable material!

Nodding, the shopkeeper continued with a smile: "Okay, I'm old, I didn't want to go out of the mountain, but for the sake of Miss Qu's immeasurable future, I decided to fight again, I believe that my vision is absolutely not wrong." ”

Qu Fengyin nodded, raised his eyebrows, and said with a proud smile: "Don't worry, shopkeeper, you won't suffer if you choose me." It's just that I heard Xiaoxi say that you came to me for something, I don't know what the matter is? ”

The shopkeeper seemed to have remembered the purpose of his trip when he heard this, sighed, and hurriedly replied: "The jewelry shop is about to be renovated, I don't know if you have any special instructions, Miss?" There are no special requirements, please choose an auspicious day for the zodiac to open. ”

Qu Fengyin blinked, but he didn't expect it to be so fast? "Didn't I still have no decoration when I went to see it just now?"

The shopkeeper smiled and replied very carefully: "Generally speaking, there is no problem, but the small furnishings you talked about in the book are not in place yet." ”

Qu Fengyin nodded, and couldn't help but want to praise the skillful hands of the ancient craftsmen. "Uh-huh, when do you think it's going to be all done?"

"The day after tomorrow at the latest."

Qu Fengyin nodded thoughtfully, if she wanted to set off to the barracks by herself, it was estimated that it would only be a matter of the past two days, and it seemed that she would be able to witness the opening of her jewelry shop with her own eyes.

smiled with satisfaction: "That's okay, everything is troublesome to the shopkeeper." ”

The shopkeeper smiled, stood up, and said very appreciatively to Qu Fengyin: "Miss, don't forget that we are partners, how can there be trouble, I am naturally doing this for my own consideration." What's more, the most important thing in business is to have a good idea, otherwise no matter how good your reputation is, it will be in vain, Miss, are you right? ”

Qu Fengyin nodded, can this be said to be wrong?

The shopkeeper saw that Qu Fengyin smiled very sincerely, and couldn't help but smile, and looked at the teacup on the table that had not been touched, and the shopkeeper was even more precious about the book in his arms.

"I don't know much about the auspicious days of the zodiac and anything like that, so I still have to consult the shopkeeper in this regard."

The shopkeeper nodded. "Okay, in that case, then listen to me?"

Qu Fengyin nodded like pounding garlic and smiled very cheerfully.

"Since the young lady doesn't have any other instructions, then I'll leave first, there are still some small things in the store that I need to deal with."

Qu Fengyin nodded. "Okay, shopkeeper, I'll send you."

The shopkeeper hurriedly waved his hand. "This can't be helped, this can't be helped."

Qu Fengyin was almost about to be laughed to death by the shopkeeper, and tried his best to suppress the wild laughter that was about to erupt, Qu Fengyin shook his head and said that it was okay.

"It's okay, I just want to go to the door to do something, and I'll send it to your old man by the way." As he spoke, Qu Fengyin raised his hand and made a gesture of please.

The shopkeeper stopped squirming, nodded, turned around and walked in front, this is a kind of respect, right?

Sent to the door, the shopkeeper felt quite embarrassed, smiled, and waved his hand to Qu Fengyin very neatly.

"Miss, go back first, the old man will go and see the shop."

Qu Fengyin nodded. "The shopkeeper's slow walk!"

The shopkeeper hummed, then turned around and walked away very calmly.

When the figure of the shopkeeper disappeared, Qu Fengyin took Xiaoxi back and walked towards Chu's courtyard.

"Xiaoxi's performance today is very good, there is no temporary chain drop, you must know, after your young lady leaves, you are the young female owner of the jewelry store, don't be talking nonsense?"

The persuasion of the song style and the earnestness of the chant has a sense of dΓ©jΓ  vu that my family has a woman who has just grown up.

Xiaoxi nodded, and immediately burst into tears, Miss was so good to her.

In the blink of an eye, Xiaoxi suddenly remembered that her young lady had blown the big bull just now. "Miss, but the slave doesn't know how to take care of the accounts?"

Qu Fengyin sighed when he heard this. "Are you stupid? I said that so that the shopkeeper was impressed with you, and I was worried that you would be fooled. You won't find someone else, will you? For example, the housekeeper in the house? When the time comes, it's really impossible, and it's okay to let him help you see it. Although your young lady is gone, she will still write regularly to ask about our earnings. ”

Xiao Xi suddenly realized when she heard this, smiled, and muttered stupidly: "It seems that the slave is too stupid." As he spoke, the smile on Xiaoxi's face suddenly flickered, and he grabbed Qu Fengyin and continued to ask: "But Miss, if you leave, will the slaves and maids be alone from now on?" ”

Qu Feng sighed, reached out and knocked on Xiaoxi's head, twisted his brows and shouted hatefully: "Why are you so unproductive? You can't live without your young lady, can you? ”

Xiao Xiyan's eyes widened when she heard this, obviously unbelievable, she was stunned for a long time, and finally murmured: "Miss, what the slave is worried about is whether you can live without the slave?" Since you were a child, you have been a slave and maidservant, if you are suddenly separated, will you still be able to adapt? ”

Qu Fengyin blinked, and only after reacting for a long time did he come back to his senses, good guy, it turns out that this girl is worried about herself.

With a sigh, Qu Fengyin smiled. "Don't worry about me, a good person has a safe life, your young lady is so good, how can it be dangerous. What's more, as long as you run this store well, it will be the greatest help to your young lady. ”

Xiaoxi blinked, nodded for a long time, thought for a while, and didn't know what he was thinking, until Qu Fengyin raised his feet and was about to continue walking, Xiaoxi suddenly said: "Miss, don't worry, the things you explain to the slave and the maid will definitely be handled well, I just hope that the young lady must take good care of her body when she goes out." ”

Qu Feng Yin was helpless. "I don't take good care of my body, how can I come back to collect my wealth?"

Xiaoxi thought about it and felt right, so she didn't say more.

"Since you have figured it out now, then hurry up and follow me to the kitchen to prepare the ingredients, and I will make a full banquet for my mother later."

Xiaoxi knew that her young lady's craftsmanship was too good to say, but why did she suddenly think of cooking herself?

As if knowing what Xiaoxi was going to ask next, Qu Fengyin continued to answer without thinking: "Aren't I leaving?" I must have to cook a meal with my own hands to comfort my mother! ”

Well, looking at Qu Fengyin's righteous words, Xiaoxi said that she believed it.

"I don't know what the young lady is going to cook? The slave maid also let the kitchen maid prepare. ”

Qu Fengyin waved his hand. "No need, just those ingredients, don't worry, your young lady has the ability to turn waste into treasure."

Xiao Xi sighed, didn't answer, and silently followed behind Qu Fengyin.

When I arrived at the kitchen, the kitchen ladies were preparing the ingredients and had not yet had time to start cooking.

Xiaoxi, as a maid, must go first to ventilate and report the news, and the big horn walked in, Xiaoxi glanced at the mother-in-law who was busy, cleared her throat, and then said crisply: "Stop what you are doing first, the eldest lady is here." ”

As soon as these words came out, the people who were busy all stopped what they were doing and looked at Xiaoxi in amazement.

Xiaoxi understands everyone's expressions very well, after all, it is unprecedented for an official lady to come to the kitchen this year. This originally arrogant and domineering lady of the General's Mansion suddenly came to the kitchen, and she didn't know what was going on? Are you here to find fault, or are you here to make trouble?

"You don't have to worry, my young lady is here to cook, and you can take a handle in the place where you need help later......"

Before Xiaoxi finished speaking, one of the big fat men with a simple face squeezed in front of Xiaoxi from the crowd, smiled, rubbed his hands and asked very friendly: "Sister Xiaoxi, you said that the eldest lady came here to cook?" ”

Xiaoxi nodded categorically, indicating that this matter was indeed true.

The big fat man rolled his eyes, and after exchanging glances with the people behind him, he suddenly changed his face, and asked with a sad face: "Sister Xiaoxi, you can just say what our kitchen people have done wrong, don't torture us like this." ”

Xiaoxi is really going to cry when she hears this, how can you say that everyone doesn't believe it.

Helpless, Xiaoxi had no choice but to shake her head and sigh, and then said seriously: "Since you don't believe it so much, I have to go and let Miss come in and tell everyone." After speaking, Xiaoxi turned around and went directly to the door under everyone's gaze.

At this time, everyone was dumbfounded, and after being stunned, they all took their places, and there was no sign of the gathering just now.

It's as if everyone has been under forgotten magic, and when they come back to their senses, they don't remember what happened and start to take their places.

When Qu Fengyin was brought into the kitchen by Xiaoxi with a helpless face, he saw such a step-by-step look.

Standing at the door and watching with interest for a few seconds, Qu Fengyin reached out and knocked on the door with a smile.

There was a crisp knock on the door, and the string that was in everyone's heads suddenly snapped.

Or the big fat man just now reacted first, hurriedly stepped forward, and asked with a smile: "Meet the eldest lady, I don't know what the eldest lady is doing here?" ”

Qu Feng Yin snorted softly when he heard this. "Don't you know everything? What's the point of asking? Who is the chef here? ”

The big fat man twitched the corners of his mouth and raised his hand.

Qu Feng groaned and laughed a little weirdly. "It's you, well, yes, you look like a chef." As he spoke, Qu Fengyin's sharp eyes kept scanning the big fat man.

The big fat man was furious by Qu Fengyin's naked eyes, smiled awkwardly, and then replied, "It's small." ”

Qu Fengyin nodded. "Well, give me an apron, and by the way, introduce me to the dish you are going to serve today."

The big fat man nodded, then turned around and took out a clean apron from the cupboard and handed it to Xiaoxi, who was very familiar with it and tied it to Qu Fengyin.

The big fat man walked in front with his feet raised, Qu Fengyin followed him and walked slowly around, the chef is worthy of being a chef, he can do a lot of food that Qu Fengyin has never heard of, but Qu Fengyin is all due to cultural differences over the past thousand years, and it is very normal for her not to know.

After some introduction, seeing that Qu Fengyin's face did not change, the big fat man had no bottom in his heart, and he didn't know what Qu Fengyin was thinking.

After walking around again, Qu Fengyin basically has an understanding, it seems that there is no such thing as medicinal diet in this era, although Qu Fengyin doesn't know much about it, but she still made a few simple medicinal diets.

Simply saying the ingredients he needs, the big fat man was stunned for a moment, these medicinal herbs can also be cooked? It's really unheard of!

Not only the big fat man, but also the other people in the kitchen were staring at each other with wide eyes and a look of disbelief.

Only Xiaoxi's facial expression can be regarded as relatively normal, after all, after getting along during this time, she also got to know her own young lady in general, full of tricks, and everything has never been seen before, so she is considered to have followed the right master and picked up the treasure?

Xiaoxi won't tell Miss, she had the idea of quitting her job long before Miss got better, although it was just a small thought, but Xiaoxi felt that if she told Miss this now, it would be a betrayal.

When the ingredients were ready, Qu Fengyin rolled up his sleeves and began to get started, because the big fat man was holding the mind that Qu Fengyin might be fooling around, and he was watching the whole process.

Others are able to help, absolutely unambiguous, and it is really beautiful and touching to see Qu Fengyin's serious cooking.

After all, people are the most beautiful when they are serious!

I made four or five dishes with my heart, and I was so tired that I was sweating, not only because the kitchen was a little hot, but also because the spatula was not as light as the modern one, it was all made of iron, very bulky, and my hands were sore when I picked it up.

After the completion of the work, Qu Fengyin looked at the few medicinal meals she made and was very satisfied, although the Manchu and Han banquets could not be made, but she still made a few medicinal dishes.

nodded, turned to the big fat man and ordered: "Chef, please wait for someone to send my mother over, I will go over to bathe and change clothes first, the smell on this body is also terrible." Saying that, Qu Fengyin still looked very disgusted with himself.

Saying this, the big fat man is embarrassed, although the eldest lady's personality has indeed changed, but the big grin has never changed.

"By the way, you remember to tell my mother that this is a medicinal diet, which is extremely helpful to the body, prolongs life, and is more effective than taking medicine." After speaking, Qu Fengyin flicked his sleeves and wanted to leave, but the big fat man behind him hurriedly stopped Qu Fengyin.

"Miss......"

Qu Fengyin turned around lazily, looked at the chef behind him and grinned, and then asked thoughtfully, "I don't know if you have anything else?" ”

The chef gritted his teeth, stepped forward with his feet raised, and made a gesture to Qu Fengyin, please go this way.

Qu Fengyin is such a fine person, how can she not know what the big fat man in front of her is thinking, but she also has some thoughts in promoting medicinal diets, as long as this fat man can be trusted, she will give it a try.

Xiao Xi behind him twisted his brows when he saw this, and opened his mouth to scold, but he was swept back by Qu Fengyin.

Xiaoxi was helpless, so she had to stand in place and stomp her feet.

The two came to the small courtyard, and saw that there was no one around, the big fat man smiled shyly, and asked Qu Fengyin, "I don't know if the medicinal diet of the eldest lady is really as beneficial as you said?" ”

Qu Fengyin put his hands around his chest, looking like a neat and tidy posture. "Even if it's true, so what?"

The big fat man smiled awkwardly when he heard this. "If the eldest lady has other medicinal diets in her hand, I want to find the eldest lady to cooperate."

Qu Fengyin nodded. "What? The chef still has his own business outside, huh? ”

The big fat man nodded, then scratched his head very embarrassedly, and continued: "The eldest lady is not called a small chef, the small one is called Zhang Da Fat, and he is the chef and owner of a delicious restaurant." ”

"Good restaurant? That's a good name! Qu Feng couldn't help but laugh out loud.

Zhang Dapang smiled awkwardly and nodded a little shyly. "Business has always been okay, but recently a bigger restaurant has risen opposite, which has robbed us of a lot of customers, so I think that if I can cooperate with the eldest lady, I will definitely be able to come back to life."

Qu Fengyin nodded, feeling that this big fat man was quite cooperative. "Okay, you go back first, let me think about it for two days, and I will definitely give you the answer tomorrow and the day after tomorrow."

Zhang Dapang didn't expect Qu Fengyin to answer so simply, and suddenly his round face turned red with excitement, smiled, and nodded happily.

"Okay, thank you, Miss, the little one will live up to the Miss's expectations."

Qu Fengyin is also smiling, his face is about to cramp, this big fat man is quite funny. "Okay, you go and prepare lunch for my mother, don't worry about cooperation."

Zhang Dapang nodded, said a few times, and then turned around and walked towards the kitchen.

Seeing that Zhang Dapang was coming, and his own young lady was still standing still, Xiaoxi blinked and followed in a hurry.

"Miss......"

Qu Fengyin blinked. "Let's go, your young lady wants to wash up." After speaking, Qu Fengyin turned around and walked in front first.

Xiaoxi nodded and hurriedly followed.

And the Chu family here was lying on the couch reading a book, and turned through several articles at random, so he couldn't stand it, so he turned over and sat up from the couch, looked at the maid beside him, and asked impatiently: "How long have I been passing on the food, why hasn't anyone sent it to me yet?" ”

The maids beside her were so frightened that they trembled when they heard Chu's sudden frenzy, opened their mouths, and wanted to explain in a whisper, but Mother Li walked in with a few maids pushing the door with smiles on their faces.

Chu Shi was confused when she saw this battle, but Li's mother instructed a few maids to put the meal on the dining table with a spring breeze on her face, and then waved to them to go out.

After the maids were gone, Li's mother stepped forward and served Chu a meal with a smile.

Chu put down the books in his hand, got up lazily, looked at the strange meals on the table, and asked with some curiosity: "The kitchen chef has changed?" ”

Mother Li shook her head. "Madame, have you forgotten what you said at noon? This is the lunch that the eldest lady promised you. ”

Chu Shi was even more incredulous when he heard this, and looked at the few dishes on the table that looked good, and had all the colors and flavors, and he was very suspicious of his hearing.

"Who are you talking about?"

Mother Li smiled, then beckoned Chu to sit down, put a small bowl of rice in front of Chu, and smiled and sandwiched a lot of dishes for her.

"This is a health diet researched by the eldest lady herself, I heard that beauty and beauty can prolong life......

The corners of Chu's mouth twitched when she heard this, and she looked at the dishes in the bowl, and she was a little afraid to swallow.

"You guys are so naΓ―ve, what she says is what she says? Are these dishes really edible? ”

Mother Li was upset in her heart for Qu Fengyin, worked hard to cook a meal, and was disgusted by her mother, which was really pitiful.

"It's delicious, and the chef in the kitchen said he wanted to work with Miss......

"Really?" Chu Shi had an expression on his face that he would die if he ate this, and asked in a low voice.

Mother Li nodded heavily.

Chu Shi put aside his worries and began to put his mind at ease, and after eating a few chopsticks, he found that these dishes were really good, they were delicious, and they were warm in the stomach, which was very intimate.

After eating a meal, Chu felt that he needed to get to know this daughter again, not to mention that his courage had become bigger, and his cooking skills had soared to the point where she couldn't even reach it, was this still not the arrogant and domineering lady of the General's Mansion before?

With this very deep question, Chu blinked, and then after instructing the maid to remove the scraps on the table, he instructed Li's mother to bring Qu Fengyin over, and re-acquainted herself with this daughter.

When Qu Fengyin was taken to Chu's bedroom, Xiaoxi was still stopped outside, looking at the gradually disappearing Qu Fengyin in front of her, Xiaoxi always had a feeling of vicissitudes, of course, she was mentally retarded and didn't know how to describe this feeling at all, she just felt that her eyes were always sour and wanted to cry.

Mother Li looked at Xiaoxi, who was not leaving at the door, and said that she was very helpless, why didn't she find out that this girl was so sticky to the eldest lady before, when did this start?

"Xiaoxi, you stay here, I'll go in and see if Madame has any requirements?"

Hearing Mother Li say that she was leaving, Xiaoxi hurriedly reached out and grabbed Mother Li's sleeve, and asked with a slightly nervous expression: "Mother Li, do you know when Miss will come out?" ”

Mother Li didn't know where Xiaoxi's nervousness came from, but after thinking about what might happen later, Mother Li suddenly felt a little sad for Xiaoxi, whether to pack this girl and send her away with Miss later, so that there would be a response on the way.

Twisting her brows, Mother Li said with a worried face: "I don't know about this matter, Mrs. and eldest lady are mother and daughter, it's normal to say something considerate, don't be suspicious." ”

After saying that, Li's mother left very arrogantly.

Xiaoxi blinked, took a deep breath, and suddenly felt that Mother Li was extremely right, the eldest lady was chatting with Mrs., her biological mother, what was she afraid of? Or is it because I haven't slept well lately?

After thinking about it, he couldn't think of anything, so Xiaoxi had to wait quietly at the gate of the small courtyard.

And Qu Fengyin, who entered the room, looked at Chu Shi who was smiling in front of him, and he always felt dazzled.

"Mother, do you have something to do with your daughter?"

Chu Shi smiled, and hurriedly got up and pulled Qu Fengyin to his side and sat down.

"You kid, you made me a medicinal meal today, didn't I want to come to you and praise you well?"

Qu Fengyin smiled, nodded, then stretched out his hand to wrap his hand around Chu's shoulder, and said with a smile: "Oh, mother, I'm your intimate little padded jacket, what else do you want to thank or not?" By the way, my mother hasn't forgotten the agreement between us at noon, right? ”

Chu Shi sighed in his heart when he heard this, of course he knew, but now he decided to pretend to be confused for a while.

"What agreement?"

Qu Fengyin suddenly pouted when he heard this, snorted, and said very arrogantly: "My mother is really bad, I clearly promised my daughter, do you want to regret it now?" ”

Chu Shi smiled and bent his eyes when he heard this. "Of course I haven't forgotten, look at you like this."

"Really?" Qu Fengyin blinked, a smile on his face. "Mother, don't worry about letting me go, I promise you, you must take good care of yourself, take care of your father and eldest brother."

Chu Shi twisted his brows when he heard this, but it was only fleeting, and then he smiled.

"Of course my mother believes in you, but I'm just very reluctant to let you go."

Qu Fengyin narrowed his eyes. "Then what's reluctant, I'll give you the whole female general when the time comes, you have to be happy."

Chu reached out and poked Qu Fengyin's head, laughing happily. "Pretty good at talking...... ha"

Qu Fengyin tilted his head. "It was meant to be!"

Chu nodded, not knowing what he thought, the starlight in his eyes suddenly dimmed a lot.

"Feng Yin, my mother will not be by your side in the future, you remember to protect yourself well, don't trust others easily......" In the end, Qu Fengyin actually heard Chu Shi choking.

Qu Fengyin blinked, a little panicked in her heart, she had never enjoyed such a warm moment before, Chu's sudden tears made Qu Fengyin very helpless.

After a pause for a long time, Qu Fengyin reached out to hug Chu's shoulders as if she had just woken up from a dream, and reached out to wipe her tears.

"Mother, don't worry about me, you can live your life well, don't worry, with me, nothing will happen to my father and eldest brother."

Chu Shi smiled, didn't mention the topic too much, stretched out his hand to wipe away his tears, looked at Qu Fengyin's determined face and nodded with relief.

"When my son grows up, he knows that he has comforted his mother, and he is no longer as childish as before."

Qu Fengyin straightened his chest and looked proud. "Of course, I said that I grew up, you don't believe it, now I know that my daughter has grown up, but it's not too late."

Chu Shi chuckled when he heard this, and reached out to pat Qu Fengyin's shoulder.

"Okay, just remember what your mother told you, it's not too early now, you can go back and rest first."

Qu Fengyin got up happily, nodded, and after answering, turned around and was about to leave.

At this time, Chu Shi wrinkled his brows and got up, raised his right hand with cold eyebrows, and a hand knife directly slashed under Qu Fengyin's neck.

Qu Fengyin only felt a pain in his neck, and then he was unconscious when he rolled his eyes.

Seeing Qu Fengyin fall, at the moment when he was about to fall to the ground, Chu quickly caught Qu Fengyin, with a face of perseverance, Chu called out to the empty house, and then in the blink of an eye, a man dressed in black knelt on one knee in front of Chu.

"The carriage is at the back door of the General's Mansion, take the young lady to the other courtyard, remember not to let her run to the barracks."

The shadow nodded, and after taking the Qu Feng Yin from Chu's hand, one flew away, and there was no trace of it.

When Li's mother knocked on the door and came in, there was no longer Qu Fengyin's figure in the room, everything was arranged by her, of course she knew everything.

Hanging her head, Li's mother didn't speak.

Chu took a deep breath and raised his hand to wipe the tears from the corners of his eyes. "I told me to go down, and I said that the eldest lady was infected with a cold and had a rash, and she couldn't receive guests for a while."

Li's mother nodded, indicating that she understood.

"Xiaoxi is still guarding the door......"

Chu Shi furrowed his brows. "You tell her well, I'm sure she'll keep it a secret for the sake of Feng Yin's safety."

Li's mother answered in a low voice, then turned around and hurriedly walked out.

When Li's mother left, Chu slowly returned to the couch and lay down, took out the book next to him and read it without changing his face. (To be continued.) )
