Chapter 398: Consequences
Chu Yuqin watched Wen Yi walk out.
There were only two of them left in the room.
Zhu Han handed her the tea: "Don't look at it." Since he is a servant, he should be like a servant. You seem to pity him extraordinarily. β
"I met him on my doorstep. It was raining that day, and I was about to enter the door, when I saw him huddled in a corner shivering. When I approached him, he was terrified. Later, he simply fell into a coma. He had many wounds on his body, and the wounds on his face were also festering, so they left scars. I just think he doesn't look very old, but he's suffered so much. β
"In life, who can guarantee that they will be smooth sailing? When everyone comes to this world, they will naturally face birth, old age, sickness and death, and all kinds of tribulations. Zhu Han said: "This is the catastrophe he should have crossed, and you have no way to help him." However, you feel such pity for anyone you want. It makes me feel bad! β
"Why?" Chu Yuqin was curious.
"When you left me and Xiaoqian, I thought it was because of our looks. Now it seems that you are used to picking up stray cats and dogs, and you treat everyone equally. Zhu Han raised his eyes and looked at her with a smile.
"You're making fun of me again." Chu Yuqin smiled. "Where are the stray cats and dogs as good-looking as Brother Zhu? You tell me I'm going to pick up a few and go home. You are now a marquis, speaking of which, it is my great blessing to be able to pick up people like you back. β
"How's the tea?" Zhu Han looked at her.
"It's the taste I like. I haven't had this tea before, though. Is it a new variety? Chu Yuqin held the teacup and warmed his palms.
"It's a new breed." Zhu Han noticed her movements, stood up and walked to the screen not far away, and took a cloak from there to drape it for her.
"Thank you." She did not refuse, and thanked politely. "Now there are no outsiders. Can you tell me more about the origin of that young lady? By the way, what is the situation in this matter. β
"You're here to see my jokes." Zhu Han said: "Aren't you glad to see me deflated?" β
"Nope. I just want to know which girl has the courage to do something to you. Chu Yuqin said: "Let's talk about it! There's no one else here who won't laugh at you. β
"The surname is Wen, and his father is a five-rank official. This Wen girl is also a celebrity in the capital, but not because of her appearance, nor because of her talent, but because of her pity. Zhu Han said: "Her biological mother died early, and her father proposed a concubine as the main house. So the original concubine became a concubine. She also changed from the eldest daughter to the second daughter. Of course, this is not the worst of all. The worst thing is that her original fiancΓ© was robbed by her sister. And she became a laughing stock that everyone laughed at. β
"How's her temperament?" Chu Yuqin asked again. "After listening to you for a long time, she is indeed quite pitiful. Are such people willing to endure all the time? β
In fact, she has never fought back after all these years. I have indeed been forbearing. Zhu Han said. She should also be a victim of this incident. With her timid character, she didn't dare to do such a bold thing. What's more, her reputation is damaged, and it doesn't do her any good. On the contrary, the stepmother and half-sister are the happiest. β
Chu Yuqin drank tea and thought about it.
Footsteps could be heard from outside. When she heard the voice, she knew that it was Chu Lihong's kid who came in. After all, the servants of the Zhu Mansion would not lose their temper like this.
"Master Hou, Master Chu and the two Chu girls are here." The butler said outside.
"Invite them in." Zhu Han put down the teacup.
Crunch! The door was pushed open by Chu Lihong.
Chu Lihong saw the two people inside and exhaled lightly.
"There are so many people out there. I'm still wondering where you've been. β
"Afraid of what? Didn't you see Brother Zhu in a hurry? Chu Yuqin said: "But you weren't seen by others when you came in, right?" If people find out that we have a connection with Brother Zhu, I am afraid that it will be the Chu Mansion that will be besieged tomorrow. β
"I'm really not afraid of you! It turned out that I was still afraid. Chu Lihong sat next to Zhu Han.
Chu Butterfly and Chu Yulan didn't come over for a long time.
The three people next to them looked at the two.
"What are you ......" Zhu Han asked, "What happened?" β
"Brother Zhu." Chu Yulan burst into tears. "I'm sorry, I'm really sorry, we didn't expect to let my sister's perfume bring you so much trouble."
Zhu Han wanted to speak, but before he could say it, Chu Butterfly also cried beside him: "I'm sorry, we got into trouble." We knew she lied to us, we ......."
"Wait a minute." Chu Yuqin stopped the two. "I don't think my perfume has that power. There must be something else hidden in this matter. As for why it depends on my head again, maybe it's because ...... Am I guilty of villains this year? Otherwise, why would everything have to be on my head? β
"Isn't it because of perfume? But my brother said it was because of perfume. Chu Yulan looked at Chu Yuqin with tears on her face.
Chu Yuqin looked at Chu Lihong.
Chu Lihong raised his palm and swore, "It has nothing to do with me." I also listened to what Second Brother Zhu said. He said that he smelled perfume on the girl's body, which was obviously made by his sister. β
Chu Yuqin looked at Zhu Han again.
Zhu Han was helpless: "Xiaoqian asked me for details, and I told him everything I observed. I just didn't expect him to associate it with your perfume head. I'll explain it when he gets back. β
"My perfume is not necessarily without problems." Chu Yuqin said: "At least it can paralyze you and make you ignore what really makes you unconscious." Besides, it was something that everyone knew that you had spent in the Chu family before. The other party knows the relationship between you and me. If you want to use me to disrupt your mind, that's also very likely. β
"In this case, this matter is still about you." After Chu Lihong finished speaking, he looked at Chu Butterfly and Chu Yulan next to him. "Who did you give the perfume to?"
"Miss Chen." Chu Butterfly said: "She is kind to me and Lan'er. She said she couldn't sleep lately. We just wanted to help her. I didn't expect it to be like this. β
"Not Miss Wen, but Miss Chen?" Chu Yuqin looked at Zhu Han next to him.
Zhu Han was also surprised.
"It's Miss Chen." Chu Butterfly said affirmatively: "Sister Chen is very good. Lan'er and I were in trouble outside, and Sister Chen helped us. So we became friends. β
"Then what do you think of this Miss Chen's personality?" Chu Yuqin asked again.
"Usually she is very nice to us. The last time Qianmian Pavilion encountered such a thing, she didn't hide from us. If it hadn't happened, I couldn't believe she lied to us. β
"It doesn't have to be that she lied to you." Zhu Han said: "Maybe there is something wrong in the middle!" β
