Chapter 52: Appointment

Xin Yu read the confession and confessed to Qiao Ruozhu's coachman.

"In other words, the coachman secretly confessed, and no one in the Qiao family knows about it?"

He Qingxiao smiled: "He shouldn't be stupid enough to take the initiative to expose." ”

"I see, thank you, Lord He."

"Miss Kou doesn't have to be polite." He Qingxiao paused, and the smile on his lips was a little more genuine, "I hope that Miss Kou's bookstore will have a prosperous business." ”

Xin Yu raised her lips: "I won't disappoint Lord He." ”

Xu is girl's confident look was too strong, He Qingxiao shook his head for a moment, and then left the bookstore with a calm face.

"Xiaolian, what kind of person is Miss Qiao?"

"Miss Qiao, she can speak sweetly, and she is very lively." Xiaolian said of Qiao Ruozhu with an angry face, "I didn't expect her to be this kind of person, and she is really an aunt and nephew with Mrs. Qiao!" ”

"If the bookstore can't be opened, what's the benefit to her?"

Unlike Xin Yu, who didn't know anything about Qiao Ruozhu, Xiaolian pondered for a while and had a guess: "The maid thinks that she saw that you bought a bookstore near Guozijian, thinking that you want to get close to the water and get the moon first, and have more contact with the eldest prince." ”

"I see." Xinyu suddenly.

Xiaolian blinked: "Girl, why is Lord He so helpful to you?" ”

Xin Yu thought about it seriously: "Maybe you want to have a place to read all the time?" ”

Xiaolian: "......" obviously wanted to make fun of the girl, but the reason the girl said was too reasonable!

"Go and make an appointment with Miss Qiao for me and meet at the teahouse near the bookstore."

"The girl wants to meet her?" Xiaolian was taken aback.

Xin Yu touched the sleeve of her shirt, and in the sleeve was the confession He Qingxiao gave her: "Some people will retreat if they fail, and some people will use their brains again if they lose." In order to avoid unnecessary trouble, it is better to make it clear. Go and make a date for me. ”

Xiaolian took the order and left.

Qiao Ruozhu was surprised when she received the post from the maidservant.

Kou Qingqing actually asked her to meet in the teahouse.

In the past, she would sometimes go to Shaoqing's Mansion to live, and although she had dealings with Kou Qingqing, she had never played together. Why did Kou Qingqing ask her to meet at this time?

Didn't you see that she and her cousin had no possibility of being together, so they came to see her joke?

Qiao Ruozhu didn't think about instructing Li Li to set fire. In her opinion, even if Li Li is arrested, no matter how much he confesses, he will not be able to find out the handmaid disguised as a man.

"Girl, I don't think Miss Kou is good, so don't pay attention to it."

"No, I'm going to see what she wants to do."

Although Xin Yu's opening of the bookstore made many people think that this cousin girl from Shaoqing's Mansion was not so well-behaved, in Qiao Ruozhu's impression, the other party was still the one who was afraid and shrunk into his family's temperament.

For such a Kou Qingqing, she has a sense of superiority psychologically.

When the two met, it was nearly evening.

The fragrance of tea is permeated, the elegant room is quiet, Qiao Ruozhu looked at Xin Yu with a scrutinizing gaze, and took the initiative to speak: "I heard that Miss Kou had amnesia before, and I always wanted to visit, but I didn't expect so many things to happen later. Did Miss Kou regain her memory and remember me? ”

Xin Yu held the teacup and said in a light tone: "The memories related to Miss Qiao have not been recovered." ”

"What is the purpose of that Miss Kou asking me to meet today?" Qiao Ruozhu's tone was not polite.

The Duan and Qiao families have become like this, and there is no need to pretend to be sisters.

Xin Yu lowered her eyes and took a sip of tea, and asked unhurriedly: "A few days ago, there was a craftsman named Li Li in our bookstore who deliberately set fire to the government and was sent to the government, has Miss Qiao heard about it?" ”

Qiao Ruozhu's pupils shrank, and his body tensed for a moment: "I haven't heard of it." I don't come out to open a bookstore like Miss Kou, how can I hear about this at home all day long. ”

"Are you at home all day?" Xin Yu put one hand on the table and tapped it twice at will, "But someone sees that Miss Qiao often appears near our bookstore." ”

Qiao Ruozhu got up suddenly: "Who did you listen to?" ”

Xin Yu smiled and didn't answer.

Qiao Ruozhu sat down again, leaned forward, and stared at Xin Yu's eyes tightly: "What do you mean by asking me to come today?" ”

"I want to persuade Miss Qiao a few words."

"Persuade what?"

"Before Mrs. Qiao is irretrievable, Miss Qiao should stop."

Qiao Ruozhu's face changed greatly: "What are you talking about, I don't understand!" ”

Xin Yu looked at the girl with a hard mouth and sighed in her heart, and her tone was even a little gentle: "Whether Miss Qiao admits it or not, in short, I know who instructed Li Li to set the fire." Fortunately, the attempted arson did not cause me much to lose, and I am not going to delve into it this time. But if there was a next time, I wouldn't have acted like it hadn't happened......"

Qiao Ruozhu listened to Xin Yu's words, with shock, fear, anger on his face, and finally doubt: "Since you think it's me, why are you telling me this?" ”

"Because I feel that this grudge is worthless. Mrs. Jo had the intention of killing me, and was divorced because of it, not to mention that I lost my memory, and emotionally my eldest cousin became a complete stranger to me, even if he was interested in him, and I would never be with the son of someone who wanted my life. ”

Speaking of this, Xin Yu glanced at Qiao Ruozhu deeply, and her tone was light: "Just like Miss Qiao, my aunt was divorced and broke off her fate with her eldest cousin." You and I are people who will no longer have anything to do with Duan Yunchen, so why fight and become ugly because of a man who is destined to become the husband of other women? ”

Qiao Ruozhu lost her words all of a sudden, and looked at the girl in front of her with a calm expression.

"That's all I have to say, Miss Qiao is so thoughtful." Xin Yu put down the teacup, got up and walked out of the private room.

The maidservant waited outside and couldn't see her girl come out, so she gently pushed the door and walked in, and saw Qiao Ruozhu, who had lost her soul.

"Girl—"

Qiao Ruozhu slowly rolled his eyes, and his cold hand grabbed the handmaid's wrist hard, but he couldn't use his strength as if he was in collapse.

"Go home."

Seeing Qiao Ruozhu like this, the maid didn't dare to ask more, and helped her out of the teahouse.

The sky is still bright, and the colorful clouds spread out in the sky, which is beautiful.

Qiao Ruozhu's footsteps were vain, and he walked step by step to the carriage parked on the side of the road.

"Cousin Bamboo?" A warm voice came from behind.

Qiao Ruozhu paused suddenly, and the moment he was about to turn around, Xin Yu's words suddenly sounded in his ears.

“…… You and I are people who will no longer have anything to do with Duan Yunchen......"

She wiped away a handful of tears and slipped into the car as if she were running for her life.

This was the first time Duan Yunchen met Qiao Ruozhu after Qiao's absence, originally he was still hesitant to say anything, but when he saw Qiao Ruozhu and didn't go back to the carriage, he couldn't help but forget his concerns, and subconsciously chased a few steps.

"Cousin Bamboo—"

Seeing Qiao Ruozhu enter the car, Duan Yunchen had no choice but to ask the maidservant: "Lian Xia, what's wrong with your girl?" ”

The maidservant didn't know what was going on in the private room, and her face was angry: "Miss Kou asked my girl to meet, and I don't know what she said——"

Qiao Ruozhu's voice came from the car: "Go!" ”

Before Duan Yunchen could ask clearly, the carriage drove away.
