Volume 1 The author becomes a cannon fodder female supporting role Chapter 82 Family Banquet
"The slave and maid retreated first."
"Hmm."
Shu Qingci's face was still the same, and he only hummed lightly, then pushed the door into the room, and closed the door instead.
Ye Hanyue stared at the door twice, although she was worried, but thinking of the problems she had worried about before, she could only turn around helplessly with her eyebrows and go back to the maid's room to rest.
Shu Qingci heard the footsteps outside the door, and his face, which was originally just gloomy, changed in an instant, and his delicate eyes were even more full of strong churning hatred.
She was unwilling in her heart, she was unwilling to let Shu Churou go so easily, she had pretended to intercede for them before, it was just an expedient measure, and she wanted to leave a benevolent and kind appearance in front of Master Shu, but she didn't expect that twice, Master Shu agreed without thinking about it.
She smiled bitterly in her heart, she couldn't figure out why this happened, that Shu Churou spent money to hire a man to deceive her feelings, and even more so to ruin her body, she hated this kind of humiliation, she would never let it pass.
Shu Qingci's eyes were ruthless, and a plan gradually came out of his mind.
Since Daddy can't help me get rid of my hatred and shame, I'll do it myself.
The quiet Qinglan Pavilion is still the same as in the past, surrounded by the fragrance of flowers, quiet and pleasant, but the people in the house are no longer the gentle and kind Shu family concubines at the beginning.
The sky is still glowing with the unique red glow of the sunset, Master Shu went to Qinglan Pavilion with someone, and invited Shu Qingci and Ye Hanyue to the front hall together, Master Shu was able to successfully complete the birthday gift given by Huangfu Xiu this time, and he was in a good mood, so he wanted to take advantage of this to gather everyone in the Shu family together for a reunion dinner.
According to Master Shu's meaning, it is okay to have a reunion dinner, but the most important thing is to reward the people who have contributed this time.
Shu Qingci dressed up a little, and her complexion, which originally looked gray, added some fat powder at this time, and also recovered some of her previous complexion.
"Dong'er, go and call Xiaoyue over."
"Yes, miss."
Dong'er agreed, and then went out of the door directly, and after a while, Ye Hanyue, whose hair was slightly messy, walked in from outside the door.
Since she was allowed to go down to rest by Shu Qingci, she fell on the bed as soon as she returned to the maid's room, and she was already sore all over her body, so she only lay down for a while and fell asleep.
Fortunately, there was nothing in the Qinglan Pavilion throughout the afternoon.
Ye Hanyue walked to Shu Qingci's side, and then asked with a smile, "Miss, are you looking for a slave?"
When Dong'er called her, she realized that it was getting dark, and it was really tiring to come here for two days in a row to make paintings, if it wasn't for this half afternoon off, she would definitely be sore tomorrow, and it would be difficult to get out of bed.
She looked at Shu Qingci, and in her dark and translucent eyes, in addition to the smart light, she also carried some gratitude for being able to rest in the afternoon.
Shu Qingci had already groomed and dressed up at this time, she raised her eyes, her gaze was soft like a floating cloud in the summer breeze, soft and detached.
"Xiaoyue, Daddy just said, let you and I go to the front hall for dinner tonight, I guess maybe you have made a great contribution this time, and Daddy wants to take the opportunity to eat to reward you together."
"Heh, Miss, the master said before, this time there is also a share of Miss's credit, and I will praise Miss later." Ye Hanyue had long thought that Master Shu would come here, and she didn't feel too surprised, but she was a little curious about what Master Shu would reward her.
"Miss, since the master has sent someone to call, then the slave will accompany you to go now."
She smiled with her eyebrows curled, but in her heart she was muttering about the reward.
If Master Shu wants to reward her and Shu Qingci, then there will definitely be the second aunt and Shu Churou at the dinner table.
Thinking of this, Ye Hanyue secretly glanced at Shu Qingci, who had already gotten up and walked beside her, her face seemed to be normal at this time, but she was unhappy with the second aunt and the others during the day, if they had dinner together, she might be annoyed when she saw the second aunt treating Master Shu like that.
Although Ye Hanyue was a little worried in her heart, Master Shu personally sent someone over to invite her, even if she didn't want Shu Qingci to go, but Shu Qingci herself didn't refuse, she had to follow.
The master and servant soon walked to the front hall, and before they entered the door of the front hall, they heard a burst of laughter from the front hall, and the laughter was coquettish, and when they heard it, they knew that it was the second aunt's.
Ye Hanyue subconsciously glanced at Shu Qingci, and saw that her face was as usual, and her eyes were looking straight ahead, so she quickly suppressed her worries, raised her feet and followed her and walked in.
In the side hall on the right side of the main entrance, the second aunt was talking to Master Shu with a smile on her face, she was just talking to Master Shu about how Shu Churou was filial to her, and the relief and smugness in her eyes had not been taken away for a while, when she saw Shu Qingci and Ye Hanyue walking in.
Her face immediately changed slightly, and she glanced at Shu Qingci with slanted eyes and contempt, then turned her head and continued to look at Master Shu with a smile and said, "Master, it is rare for our family to have a reunion dinner, can the concubine invite the master to go to the courtyard for a walk after dinner today?"
Ye Hanyue hung her head, but her eyes swept towards the second aunt very quickly, and she happened to see that although the second aunt was smiling and talking to Master Shu, her smug eyes were aimed at Shu Qingci.
It's true that there are many ugly people, but after eating a family feast, this hasn't started yet, but she is the first to show her authority.
Ye Hanyue snorted coldly in disdain, and then deliberately raised her voice, and interrupted the second aunt before she spoke again.
"Sir."
Old Man Shu just saw Shu Qingci and Ye Hanyue walking in, but the second aunt had been entangled, and he couldn't be free for a while, this time Ye Hanyue took the first step to speak, and then he moved his body and looked at Shu Qingci.
"Qing Ci and Xiao Yue are here, come and sit." He was rarely happy, and his face was naturally much better than the previous days, and his smile was even more loving.
"Today, Xiaoyue has merit, master, I will allow Xiaoyue to dine with us, do you have any opinions?"
He glanced at the second aunt and Shu Churou.
The second aunt set her eyes on Ye Hanyue, although she was unhappy, but with Shu Churou's reminder earlier, she naturally didn't dare to make trouble in front of Master Shu. Today's family banquet was personally organized by Master Shu, if it is destroyed in her hands, I am afraid that this master will not take care of her in the future.
Thinking of this, she immediately changed her face, and with Master Shu's words, she said with a smile: "Xiaoyue is a hero, where will Rou'er and I have opinions, quick, Xiaoyue, help your young lady to sit together."
Master Shu was also happy to see that the second aunt was rare to be so virtuous.
"Daddy." Shu Qingci walked to the table, and then opened her mouth, her voice was weak, if it weren't for the other people around her who closed their mouths for a while, she was afraid that Master Shu wouldn't be able to hear her words.
Master Shu beckoned her to the vacant position on the right, sat her down, and then ordered his subordinates to start serving.
Although Ye Hanyue had the special permission of Master Shu, she didn't dare to be too fearless, so as not to make a mistake in vain, she chose the farthest position from Master Shu and sat in the lower seat alone.
"Come, today our Shu family has a rare reunion, in the last few days, you also know what happened at home, this past is also in the past, I only hope that you can work together in the future, all your heart towards this family, come, toast." After the wine and food were properly arranged, Master Shu took the wine glass first.
During this time, the Shu family happened one after another, although some of them involved family ugliness, but fortunately, the impact was not too bad. Therefore, Master Shu said this, wanting to tell everyone at the table that he would protect the Shu family wholeheartedly.
The people at the table heard the meaning of his words, and although they had different thoughts, they all cooperated and served their glasses.
Shu Qingci half-covered her face and took a sip of the wine in her hand, but her eyes looked straight at Shu Churou, who was sitting diagonally opposite her, her eyes were cold and hateful.
Hmph, even if the past is over, what about her true heart that was deceived? What about the heartaches she suffered? Whoever will pay it back will report it.
She put down the cup in her hand and lowered her eyes to hide the hatred in her black eyes, but even so, her face didn't look good.
Ye Hanyue was far away, and as soon as she came to the table, she tried not to speak, after all, the four people in front of her were the masters in her current status, and she was at most the one who came to make soy sauce by the master's reward.
Therefore, she didn't notice the strangeness of Shu Qingci, but it was the smiling Master Shu, after he drank a cup with Shu Churou, he turned to see Shu Qingci hanging his head, as if he was thinking.
He grabbed it slightly, and suddenly realized that his concubine's words today seemed to be a little little, so he looked sideways at Shu Qingci and carefully looked at her expression.
"Qingci, but what's the discomfort, your face doesn't seem to be very good for your father, isn't it sick?"
Shu Qingci slowly raised her head, her expression was not a little flustered, she smiled, and replied softly: "Daddy, my daughter has only been taking care of the inner courtyard in recent days, because she has just started, and there are still a lot of unfamiliar points, so she feels a little powerless, but she is not sick, but she feels a little tired."
She smiled, and her already not very good complexion became even weaker and paler.
Master Shu glanced at Shu Qingci deeply, and then turned to look at the second aunt, but in the end, he still didn't say what he thought just now.
He glanced at Xiao Yue and gently instructed: "Xiao Yue, you have always been clever, you have to help your young lady more when you turn around."
"Master, the slave knows." Ye Hanyue hurriedly got up and answered, and when she sat down again, she turned her head to look at Shu Qingci, and a trace of doubt flashed in her clear eyes.
When she went out earlier, she also deliberately glanced at Shu Qingci's state, and at that time, she looked at her face was fine, why did she sit for a while, and her face was weak like this.
Although she was puzzled, at the dinner table, there was Master Shu asking beside Shu Qingci, and she was not easy to interject.
After Master Shu instructed Ye Hanyue, he turned to look at Shu Qingci, "Qingci, there are a lot of things in this house, if you want to get started, you have to come little by little, if you feel that you can't do it, you will ask the housekeeper to do it." ”
