Chapter 144: Fourth Master Xu's Choice

"You go to Fenghua Courtyard and ask if Chunlan has arranged any work for her." After thinking about it, Cai Yue is a smart girl, and she is counting on being able to come to her side to do things after this matter is done, even if Chunlan arranges for her to do other things, she will not not contact her or Yu Xia for three days.

Xu Qirong endured the uneasiness in his heart, and changed his words: "The book I lent to Sister Hui the day before yesterday is for Mr. Tomorrow's homework, you go to Shuiyuexuan with me, and take another book back first." ”

Since the big house and the fourth room had such a quarrel, Mrs. Qiao is not so happy with Sister Hui'er's behavior of "stammering" Xu Qirong. This is also why Sister Hui had to come secretly to Xu Qirong to ask for this book. Xu Qirong went like this, but I was afraid that Sister Hui'er would have a worse time in the future.

But Xu Qirong can't manage so much.

After arriving at Shuiyuexuan, Mrs. Qiao's attitude towards Xu Qirong was really not as good as before, but she didn't deliberately embarrass her. After all, at this time, in Mrs. Qiao's heart, what she hated the most was not Sister Jin'er Rong'er who "divided" the property of the fourth room, but Sister Yu'er, who almost "tortured" her daughter to death.

Mrs. Qiao just stabbed Xu Qirong lukewarmly, and then let her go to the sewing room to find Sister Hui. Xu Qirong was worried about Caiyue, but he didn't care about Mrs. Qiao's attitude.

Sister Hui doesn't like Mrs. Qiao, and there are few good clothes all year round, when Xu Qirong found Sister Hui in the needlework room, she was wearing an old dress embroidering Buddhist scriptures on a piece of golden brocade cloth.

Seeing Xu Qirong, he hurriedly put down the things in his hand and said hello timidly: "Why is the fifth aunt here...... That book, that book, Hui'er hasn't finished reading it yet. In a few days, the eldest lady is going to the temple to offer incense, and Hui'er is in a hurry to embroider a few volumes of scriptures, and then the eldest lady will take them to make offerings. ”

Xu Qirong waved his hand: "I will be useful for that book tomorrow, so I will exchange it for something else first." If you like it, come back to me in a few days and get it. By the way, Caiyue sent you back a few days ago, didn't you remind you to hurry up and watch? ”

Xu Hui'er looked hesitant.

Xu Qirong knew her temperament, although she was anxious, she was not annoyed, and said patiently: "I know what Caiyue's temperament is, and you don't have to hide it for her." I don't like to toss people's masters, and I don't want to embarrass her for such a trivial matter. ”

Only then did Xu Hui'er put her mind at ease and whispered: "Sister Caiyue probably forgot about it." ”

Xu Qirong nodded, and gave Yu Xia a look that was undetectable, although Yu Xia was not as clever as Qiu Nong, he had said it before he came out of the storm, so almost immediately, he would come to his senses.

Pouted, Yu Xia was a little dissatisfied: "Caiyue's girl is getting more and more disagreeable." The day before yesterday, I sent Miss Hui back to Shuiyuexuan, and after delaying most of the day, I was stunned to say that Miss Hui left her for tea. doesn't look at her own identity, and dares to let the master invite her to tea! You have to do so many things. Girl, you can't be so used to picking the moon anymore. ”

Xu Hui'er was really fooled, and hurriedly said: "Sister Yu Xia is afraid that she has misunderstood, Sister Caiyue has not stayed with me to use tea." Sister Caiyue said that she had something to do, so she sent me back and left. ”

Yu Xia sighed: "Didn't you say that Caiyue hadn't left the gate of Shuiyue Xuan yet, so Miss Hui asked her to come back for tea?" ”

Xu Qirong's eyes sharpened and looked at Xu Hui'er.

Xu Hui'er was startled, her actions were a little sluggish, she took two steps back, and her voice was a little frightened: "There is no such thing." ”

Xu Qirong frowned: "Cai Yue really didn't stay with you for tea?" ”

Sister Hui'er's eyes were red: "What is Hui'er like here, Fifth Aunt, you know very well, where can you get good tea to entertain the sister in your aunt's room!" ”

Xu Qirong nodded, smiled, and said, "I don't blame you, it's just a casual question." Then he turned to Yu Xia and said, "You are too babbling, she asked you to help her do something, and then you let her help you do it, just make it look like this, what kind of system!" ”

Then he handed over the book he brought to Xu Hui'er, and when Xu Hui'er found the book he had brought before and returned it to Yu Xia's hands, the master and servant immediately said goodbye and left.

As soon as he came out of Shui Yue Xuan, Xu Qirong's face became gloomy. Yu Xia was also worried: "On the way just now, the maid went to ask the mother-in-law who was guarding the door, saying that after Caiyue sent Miss Hui back, she did leave Shuiyuexuan immediately, but half an hour later, she came back again, saying that she had dropped something. ”

Xu Qirong's brows furrowed even more: "Have you ever seen her come out again?" ”

Yu Xia shook her head: "That woman said that she ate wine that day, was sleepy when she was on duty, took a nap, and didn't know if Caiyue went out later." ”

"Cai Yue entered Shui Yuexuan later, did you follow the fourth sister?" Xu Qirong thought for a while and asked.

Yu Xia shook her head, she didn't know how much, thought about it, and said: "That mother-in-law has been gambling and drinking for a few days, and her money is very tight, so the maid will send the girl back to Fengbo Building first, and then go to the mother-in-law again." ”

Xu Qirong thought about it, and had no choice but to do so. He said, "Don't go back to Fengbo Building first, send me to my sister." ”

After a pause, he thought that Xu Qijin was busy embroidering his purse at this time, sighed, and changed his mind again: "Let's send me to Pingqiu Courtyard first!" ”

Yu Xia nodded hurriedly, along the way, the master and servant were silent for a long time, and on the way to Pingqiu Courtyard, they also turned to Fenghua Courtyard by the way, and asked, Cai Yue really didn't return to Fenghua Courtyard after the day before yesterday. Chunlan, who was in charge of Caiyue, thought that Caiyue was left in the Fengbo Building, but she didn't think much about it.

When he was about to arrive at Pingqiu Courtyard, Yu Xia comforted: "Girl, Caiyue is very shrewd, and besides, it is in the mansion, so nothing should happen." Don't worry too much. ”

Xu Qirong nodded and didn't say much.

In my heart, I felt that Caiyue was only afraid of bad luck this time, if it was really like Yu Xia's comfort, nothing would happen in the mansion, so how did Shui'er die under the noses of her father and Gao Bo in the first place?

said that Shui Er was over-whipped to death by Uncle Gao and Daddy, she first didn't believe it. Not to mention that Daddy is soft-hearted and will not deprive a person of his life, even in order to find out the murderer who poisoned him, Daddy and Gao Bo will not beat Shui'er to death so lightly.

It's just that these words are not easy to say, which makes Yu Xia also anxious, so he has to stuff himself in his heart.

As soon as he entered the Pingqiu Courtyard, Xu Qirong waved his hand at Yu Xia and advised: "You should be careful, even if you see that woman, you must stand in a place where someone can see and ask her, don't be alone." ”

Although Yu Xia didn't understand why her girl was so cautious, she still agreed.

Xu Qirong waved his hand to let Yu Xia leave, and after Yu Xia left, he grabbed a sprinkler and asked, "Where is the fourth master?" ”

The man hurriedly said: "As soon as the fourth master came back, he went to the study. After a pause, he said, "Fifth Miss, the master is not in a very good mood today. ”

Xu Qirong nodded and walked towards the study.

Master Xu Si was pinching a book of customs and customs at this time, and he couldn't read a word, and his mind was full of today's letter. I had already prepared a qiē before, and the money distributed to Sister Jin and Sister Rong was enough to ensure that their sisters had no worries about food and clothing, but I thought it would be a big deal to leave, but who knew that my mother's intervention would make things turn around.

However, just when he thought that with his mother's intervention, the man would stop there, and the man threatened him with Sister Jin'er's marriage.

Master Xu's family sense is still very strong, but he is a free and easy person in the end, as long as the two daughters are well, it is not very important whether he is a member of the Xu family or not. As for Princess Pingtai, when he was young, he still thought that he would protect his mother like a warrior, but now he feels that he can protect the sisters very well. Besides, isn't this happening because of his mother's misbehavior!

That's why he thought about compromise at first.

Princess Pingtai's intervention made him feel the warmth of his mother who had not been seen for a long time. Therefore, he relaxed his vigilance, but now, thinking of the letter that had just been burned, Master Xu Si couldn't help but become angry again.

That person actually gave him two options, or, make a fish die, make everyone in the city know, and leave the Xu family with Sister Jin and Zhuozhuo; Or, he obediently admitted the fact that he was not the Xu family, and the Xu family only quietly ticked off his name from the family tree for so many years, so as not to embarrass the two sisters.

That person is so confident, there must be evidence in his hand that he is not the Xu family, there will be trouble, he can't get half a cent, he is removed from the family tree, it is nothing, Sister Jin has a disgraceful father at this moment, I am afraid that the marriage will be ruined.

I had those rumors with Mr. Du before, and I have a father with such an identity, so it will be difficult to find someone else.

Master Xu Si couldn't help but secretly hate Princess Pingtai in his heart, since he was going to marry into the Xu family, why did he do such an ugly thing! Even if he did such an ugly thing, why did he have to keep him!

But in the end, it is his mother, and a wave of hatred can only toss and turn in his heart at most, where can he really blame her!

Admit it, just let it go, leave alone, what else is there to think about, haven't you already made such a plan before! There was a voice in the bottom of my heart that said this to myself.

Master Xu Si shook his head, and the remaining reason told him that this matter could not be so simple. He never thought that the person behind it was the Xu family, so he had his own thoughts. By now, it seems that more than half of that person may be the Xu family. I left at this time, Sister Jin and Zhuo fell into their hands, and the two little ladies were not gnawed to the point that there were no bones left?

I don't know how much I read when I got the letter before.

Just thinking about it, I heard He Shun say loudly outside the study: "Fifth Miss, why are you here now, you are reading!" (To be continued.) )
