Chapter 42: The Uninvited Guest
"Mandarin duck!" Mrs. Yu saw Duanyue and Xu Xiachu coming back with the mandarin duck, and shouted at her, and she didn't care about her dignity and immediately ran to the three of them, and anyone in her eyes became transparent, and only the mandarin duck could be seen.

As if she was treating a treasure, Mrs. Yu gently touched the mandarin duck's scattered bun and helped her put the broken hairpin behind her ear. Mrs. Yu did not blame the mandarin duck, but took her cold hand with a gentle gaze. "It's good to be back, it's time to eat lunch, my mother has already cooked your favorite fish fillet porridge, I'm hungry." She turned her head and looked at Duanyue and Xu Xiachu with a smile, only then did she realize the existence of the two.
"Ah, Satsuki and Kasumi are here? Let's stay and eat together. She held out her hand and beckoned to the two of them.
Duanyue and Xu Xia looked at each other, and the moment they looked at each other, the two turned their heads silently and shook their heads at Mrs. Yu again and again. "No, Mrs. Yu and Mandarin Duck eat slowly, I'll go back to Ninghou Mansion with Xu Xiachu."
"Auntie, don't need it, I still have a lot of affairs, so I'll go back first." He nodded his chin to his wife, and walked out.
Duan Yue saw Mrs. Yu's regretful face, so she had to smile apologetically, and quickly turned around and followed Xu Xiachu's footsteps. She raised her head to look at Xu Xiachu pursing her lips, and consciously talked to herself boringly. "Mrs. Yu didn't have a worried look at all, she looked so calm."
"Auntie is not as happy as you, it's good that people are back, and you still want to make a big fuss."
"Tsk, you man!" Duanyue glared at him indignantly. "No matter what you say, the mandarin duck is also your cousin, I don't think you are worried at all, maybe it's too cold."
Xu Xiachu rubbed her face irritably and wiped the stains off her face. "This kind of relationship is just useless, and there is no blood relationship, to put it bluntly, she and I are just strangers."
Duanyue was choked by his ruthless words, and suddenly didn't know how to continue. Thinking about it carefully, what Xu Xiachu said also makes sense. Indeed, if it weren't for Mrs. Yu pretending, the two of them would have acted as if they didn't know each other, and Mandarin Yuan seemed to be a little scared of Xu Xiachu, and every time he saw him, he lowered his head and didn't speak.
Xu Xiachu sighed, expressionless. He lowered his eyes slightly, stared at the stone he was kicking on his toes, and spoke slowly. "I was about four years old when Mandarin Duck was born, and I only learned through my father's mouth that there was a her. Mandarin Mandarin Duck's mother is just the daughter of an ordinary family, after the aunt learned that there was someone outside her uncle, her troublesome uncles knelt down, and they were about to stab the emperor. ”
"Mrs. Yu wouldn't do such a thing." Duanyue muttered. Xu Xiachu nodded in agreement.
"I don't believe it either, but there is no way for my aunt to be kind, and there is no way for this child to be raised." He shrugged his shoulders, his tone slightly helpless. "This will give me a headache, I will make it clear to you, don't always mention this in the future."
Duanyue pursed her lips, she let out a random "oh" on her mouth, and her eyes kept quietly glancing at Xu Xiachu. Everyone has their own ideas, she thought. Compare your heart to your heart, if you encounter this kind of thing, I am afraid that you will definitely be hostile to the child who suddenly appeared, so thinking about Xu Xiachu, she is quite generous.
The two walked to the gate of Ninghou Mansion, and Xu Xiachu's sharp eyes saw a carriage stopped at the door before, he patted Duanyue's shoulder and pointed to the carriage. "Do you know this carriage?"
Duanyue half-narrowed her eyes and looked carefully. A very simple carriage without any decoration was parked at the main gate of Ninghou Mansion, and there was no one on the side. She shook her head. Ninghou Mansion has always had few guests, Murong Chui or Xu Lin's carriage is often seen, and Duanyue also knows it. I thought it was a guest of the Wild Wind, but when I thought about it, the Wild Wind went to Murong Mansion today.
"Whose carriage is this?" Duanyue glanced at the guards at the door.
Seeing that it was Duanyue, the guard hurriedly replied respectfully. "If you go back to the county lord, it will be the carriage of the county lord of Jinzhao."
"Lord Jin Zhao?" Duanyue involuntarily frowned and repeated. She turned her head to Xu Xiachu and asked very suspiciously. "What is Lu Qingyi doing in Ninghou Mansion?"
"You'll find out if you go in and see." Xu Xiachu clenched her fists in her chest and said lightly to Duanyue. He thought about it carefully, and he didn't have any impression of the county lord of Jinzhao, so the two really didn't intersect.
Duanyue nodded in agreement with his suggestion, and walked quickly inside. She glanced at the hall, there was no one in it, and after asking, she realized that Lu Qingyi went straight to the place where Duanyue lived, which made her even more puzzled.
Cuiguo looked at Lu Qingyi who was sitting in Duanyue's house and was very embarrassed, she had to keep pouring tea and water for Lu Qingyi, only hoping that Duanyue would come back sooner. When she saw Duanyue's figure, she couldn't help herself with joy, so she hurriedly put down the teapot she was holding in her hand, spread her legs and ran to Duanyue's side happily.
"County Lord, look at that Jin ......," she whispered in Duanyue's ear with a sad face.
"What is Lu Qingyi doing here? Did she tell you what she wanted? ”
Cuiguo's eyes swept over Lu Qingyi and came to the edge of Duanyue. "I don't know what she's here to do, so I said I'm going to come to you, the county lord. I said you're out, but she's going to have to wait here for you to come back. The county lord is messing with the county lord of Jin Zhao? ”
"Nonsense! You don't want anything good from me. Duanyue pretended to be angry and glared at Cuiguo, she stuck out her tongue and grimaced.
Lu Qingyi also saw that Duanyue was back, she stood up unhurriedly, elegantly and calmly adjusted her crescent white skirt, and walked in front of Duanyue with a smile on her face. "Lord Shi'an is back."
Duanyue always felt hairy in her heart when she looked at the smile on her face, and it was very unreal. She grinned and smiled in return, and greeted Lu Qingyi into the house politely. "Oh, Jin Zhao County is here to let people say a word, you've been waiting here for a long time, right?"
"It's too raw for you to call me, just call me Qingyi." She naturally stroked Duanyue's hand and sat down, and with a slightly attentive hand, she picked up the teapot on the table and poured a cup of tea for Duanyue, which was just warm. "I won't be in Chang'an for long, so I thought I'd come and see you before I left."
"Oh?" Duanyue raised her eyebrows and smiled dryly. "What's so special about me that attracts Qingyi's attention?"
Lu Qingyi put down the teapot, raised his head and glanced at Duanyue with a slight meaning. "To tell you the truth, I fell in love with Brother Ling at first sight."
