Chapter 17: Instigation

In the past, Chu Mubai didn't go out shopping with Xia Youhe, but he always traveled lightly, which was convenient and not eye-catching. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 Info Her performance today was obviously a bit unexpected to him, but he was already happy that she was willing to meet him today, so he didn't comment on her outfit at all.

Xia Youhe was very satisfied with the commotion she had caused, she enjoyed the gazes cast by the pedestrians on the road, and the men admired the envy of women. And he was also very satisfied with Chu Mubai's protection, with a light smile on the corner of his mouth from beginning to end.

"I heard that you helped the Yu family in the west of the city solve a tricky matter the day before yesterday?" She smiled slightly at a young man on the side of the road in front of her who had been staring at her for a long time in a place where Chu Mubai couldn't see, looking at the man's lost appearance, she was extremely proud of her beauty.

"Heard? Didn't you write to me to help that girl named Yu Zhaodi deal with this matter? ”

Xia Youhe's face was unnaturally stunned for a moment, and then said, "Yes, of course I wrote to you to help her, I mean I heard from the people in the family that you handled that matter well." ”

Ruolan, who was walking behind Xia Youhe, heard this and gave her a strange look. I thought, didn't her young lady even let that Yu Zhaodi enter the door that day, when did she write a letter to her?

However, she knows how to survive in the courtyard and knows that even if she doesn't know, don't ask, especially about her own master.

Originally, Xia Youhe was still thinking about how Yu Zhaodi could invite Chu Mubai to go to the Yu family, but she didn't expect it to be like this, she only knew to keep her out, but she forgot that a young lady like them could not only speak, but also write.

She secretly reminded herself to be careful of Yu Zhaodi's use of this trick in the future, and she had to find a way to keep Chu Mubai away from that Yu Zhaodi.

"Do you think so too?" Chu Mubai looked at her happily, nothing made him happier than getting her approval.

"Of course, you have always done things in a measured way, otherwise I wouldn't have let her go to you."

"Honestly, when she first came to me, I didn't really believe what she said, but she was holding a letter written by you, and I had to believe it. Young lotus, you know what? I think I'm really not wrong, your heart is so kind. ”

Xia Youhe pursed her lips to avoid his gaze, thinking about how to open her mouth so as not to arouse his suspicions.

Seeing her hesitant look, Chu Mubai's expression also froze, "What's the matter, did I not do something well?" ”

"No, it's not."

"Then you ......"

"You're doing too well, I'm afraid ......," she said, giving him an uneasy look.

"Afraid of what?"

Xia Youhe blinked her eyes that were brighter than the night, and a touch of self-reproach appeared on her face, "The day before yesterday, I relented and agreed to her request and asked her to go to you for help. But after thinking about it, I thought about it for a while, and I decided that this might not be the best way to go. It's hard to take care of the long and poor, like the situation of the Yu family, I'm really afraid that if you help them this time, they will come to you for help in the future. Especially that Jiang Cheng, I heard that he is not a good person, in case he comes to find you trouble...... That...... ...... in your career"

"I'm not afraid that your father will blame me, but I'm afraid that if this affects your career, then I will really be a sinner."

As she spoke, there was a trace of tears in her eyes, and her appearance of wanting to cry made Chu Mubai lose her mind for a while, but her heart was full of joy. It turned out that she was anxious for him, and this discovery swept away the gloom that he had been turned away from for days.

He happily took her hand, but immediately let go, "Don't worry, I'll be fine." ”

"Can you promise me that you won't see her again...... Are they? Xia Youhe grabbed the hand he wanted to retract and clenched it tightly.

Feeling the softness coming from the palm of his hand, Chu Mubai's handsome face showed an unnatural flush, and he nodded and said, "I promise you, if they come to the door again, I will definitely not see them again." ”

With his assurance, Xia Youhe breathed a sigh of relief and looked at him and burst into laughter.

"I saw a hairpin in the store in front of me the day before yesterday that suits you very well, why don't we go over and take a look together." Chu Mubai said while the iron was hot, a bright light flashed in Xia Youhe's eyes, and she lowered her head shyly, and he led her into the jewelry store in front.

In the Plum Blossom Pavilion, Yu Zhaodi glanced at the young lady who was talking, and later she learned that her surname was Wang, her name was Wang Xishu, she was the daughter of a merchant surnamed Wang in Bian Cheng, and she was also the object that Yu Zhaodi had always wanted to talk to, and wanted to enter the rich man's world through her.

"Don't you all already know what happened, and what do you want me to say?" Her gaze is frank and direct, and her attitude is neither humble nor arrogant.

As the saying goes, good things don't go out, bad things spread thousands of miles, and she knows best that there is never a shortage of people who provide this kind of after-dinner tooth sacrifice topic in the homes of those rich people. So when Wang Xishu asked about it, she was not surprised at all.

Faced with Yu Zhaodi's completely different attitude from usual, Wang Xishu didn't care, she leaned back in the chair, stretched out her hand, and seemed to unintentionally stroke the nails that had just been trimmed in the morning. "We did hear about it, but there was someone who was very curious about how you asked Chu Mubai to help you do this."

Just then, there was a sound of footsteps outside the door, and as the door was opened, a special scent wafted in from the door.

"Say Cao Cao, Cao Cao arrives." Wang Xishu muttered in a low voice, and hurriedly stood up to greet the door, and before she saw anyone coming, she smiled and said, "Why did my sister come, I just told my sisters about you." ”

With Wang Xishu's movements, several other young ladies sitting there also stood up, looking at the door together, as if they were welcoming the appearance of some big man together, and their expressions were extremely serious.

"I don't know what's going on today, there are a lot of people on the road, the sedan chair is blocked by people, and our young lady is angry about it." The voice of the person who spoke was neither light nor heavy, and his tone was neither hurried nor slow, and when he heard it, it was like a person coming out of the door of the compound.

Yu Zhaodi was just standing there, thinking that after the people outside the door came in, she would find a place to slip away. But this extremely familiar voice made her look at the door like those people.

The first to enter was a woman about seventeen or eighteen years old, although she wore a maid's hair, but the material of the emerald green fine flower gown and dress she was wearing was not much worse than Wang Xishu's clothes.

As soon as she entered the room, she turned around, reached out to support the person behind her, and said softly, "Miss, watch your step." ”
