Chapter 481

Author: Si Yuetao

The sobbing in the room continued for a while before stopping.

Xue Shu turned around and saw Hong Ling supporting Xue Yao walking out.

Xue Yao wiped her tears with a handkerchief and said in a hoarse voice: "Sister, I am already...will anyone want me..."

She has neither a noble status nor someone who is so sincere that he doesn't care about her chastity and only cares about her.

Under such circumstances, can she really live well?

Even though Mrs. Xue Lu supports her, she is not her biological child, and she is not close to Mrs. Xue Lu. Xue Lu has done her best to find a good family for her. What will happen to her in the future?

On such a day, she still has to look at herself.

But she really has no confidence in herself.

After entering the back house, the only path left for her was the point in front of her. There was not even a fork in the road. She could see the end at a glance.

Xue Shu also fell silent.

"Sister, I don't want to get married..." Xue Yao finally plucked up the courage to tell her true thoughts.

Rather than putting her future in the hands of an unfamiliar person, it is better to hold it in her own hands. At least this way, no matter what happens in the end, it is her own choice.

"Sister, I heard that Miss Qin's hotpot restaurant is doing very well. Can I follow Miss Qin's example?"

"...In two days, I will go to Xiang'er to discuss it." Xue Shu looked at her and did not agree immediately.

After all, although she had a share in the hot pot restaurant, it was clear that Qin Xiang's contribution was even greater.

"Then..." Xue Yao bit her lower lip and said cautiously, "Then can I enshrine my mother's tablet beside me?"

She didn't want Aunt Wu to be a lonely ghost.

Those resentments and unwillingness have ended with the end of life.

That was the mother who gave birth to her.

"...of course." Since Mrs. Zhenbei Hou buried the person properly instead of just throwing it into a mass grave, it means that Mrs. Xue Lu also nodded.

"...Thank you, big sister." Xue Yao finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Xue Shu nodded, with a complicated look on her face: "Do you want to arrange a female envoy for you?"

"No need," Xue Yao shook her head, "The Xue family is no longer here, and I am no longer the second daughter of the Xue family. Naturally, I have to learn to live on my own."

From now on, she is alone.

Xue Shu sighed: "I still have a vacant yard in Beijing. I will ask Hong Ling to get the key later. You can move it there. If there is anything missing, just tell Hong Ling and ask her to buy it for you."

That was the escape route she left for herself.

But now it seems that it is no longer useful.

If it is empty, it is empty. If it can protect others from wind and rain, it is not a waste.

Xue Yao subconsciously wanted to refuse.

"Father is gone, and the Xue Mansion will be sealed soon," Xue Shu said. "We still need a place to stay. You should have saved a lot of money over the years, right? Is it enough?"

"...That's enough," Xue Yao nodded lightly, "Thank you, big sister."

"You're welcome." After Xue Shu said this, she took another deep look at her and pulled Qing Yu away.

Hong Ling also followed closely to get the key for Xue Yao.

After leaving Xue Yao's yard, Hong Ling breathed a sigh of relief: "Girl, the second girl's mentality is really good."

Hong Ling almost admired her for being able to adjust so quickly.

"Otherwise, what else can we do? Time is tight. There is no time to be sad."

Take good care of it.”

"yes."

Xue Shu sighed again.

Hong Ling went back to get the key, and then kept looking for Xue Yao. Qingyu waited for a while, and then finally recovered.

"So you haven't been frightened yet?" Xue Shu squinted at her.

"...It's almost here." Qingyu raised her hand and stroked her chest.

The feeling of watching life end before your eyes is really terrifying.

When Xue Shu returned, Tangliju had almost been tidied up.

With Jing Xing personally watching, those people were really not very agile in their work.

Seeing Xue Shu's return, Jing Xing was finally willing to leave, and the guards who were working could finally breathe a sigh of relief.

I don't know why, Jing Xing just walked to that station without saying anything, but they just felt a sense of oppression inexplicably.

"Going to see your sister?" Jing Xing stopped not far from Xue Shu, and did not walk to her like before.

Xue Shu nodded.

She naturally noticed Jing Xing's awkwardness: "Are you still angry?"

Isn't it just that I hid something and didn't tell him?

As for being so atmospheric?

Jing Xing pursed his lips and said nothing.

Qingyu on the side walked away silently.

Somehow, she felt that Jing Xing was acting coquettishly.

If she continued to look, she was afraid that she would not be able to see the sun tomorrow.

"Didn't you hide a lot of things from me? I didn't even ask you." Xue Shu blinked.

"Then you ask," Jing Xing said, "As long as you ask, I will tell you."

He is not like this little girl, who still hides secrets and doesn't even tell her.

"Just ask?"

Jing Xing nodded.

"Then when did you become interested in me?" Xue Shu looked at him. Although her face was serious, there was an imperceptible smile hidden deep in her eyes.

Jing Xing: "...Let's change it." He couldn't say it.

Xue Shu glanced at him sideways.

"...I was wrong." Really wrong.

Now, it was Xue Shu who occupied the moral high ground.

She snorted.

The things were almost packed, and Mrs. Zhenbeihou came over in person: "Shu'er, how are you packing?"

Xue Shu nodded: "It's almost done."

Mrs. Zhenbeihou nodded, with a smile on her face: "It's great now, we can live together in the future!"

Xue Shu also smiled and nodded in agreement.

Jing Xing:……

It seems like he shouldn't be here.

Sure enough, the smile on Mrs. Zhenbei Hou's face completely stopped the moment she saw Jing Xing.

Gee, why did you forget that your niece has already been engaged and will get married soon?

Sensing Mrs. Zhenbeihou's somewhat unkind gaze, Xue Shu coughed, quickly stepped forward to divert Mrs. Zhenbeihou's attention, and said, "Auntie, how is my mother's situation?"

"It's all packed up," said the Marquis of Zhenbei, "I'll come over and see you. If it's almost done, go home quickly. I have to accompany your mother to the prison of the Ministry of Criminal Justice."

She had already found someone to draw up the letter of departure and had to have it signed by Xue Yue.

Xue Shu nodded: "Auntie, please go over first. I will be back in a while."

Mrs. Zhenbei Hou nodded.

When she thought that her sister would be able to take the children home soon, the smile on Mrs. Zhenbei Hou's face could not be suppressed by anything: "Okay, pack up and go home quickly, I'm leaving first -"
