After rebirth, the female supporting role only wanted to have a grand funeral

Chapter 7 Osmanthus Appreciation Banquet

Ever since Xue Shu came over, Mrs. Zhenbeihou had been holding Xue Shu's hand and refused to let go for a moment, even when receiving guests.

Everyone who could be present was a fine person. As soon as they saw Xue Shu, they knew the reason why Zhenbei Hou Mansion held a grand osmanthus appreciation banquet this time - it turned out that the niece whom they cherished so much was here.

Everyone in the capital didn't know that this osmanthus appreciation banquet was held for Xue Shu. Previously, Xue Shu never came, so it was just casual. But now that the real owner is here, isn't it just a big party?

For a time, countless eyes, either appraising or envious, fell on Xue Shu, and everyone had their own thoughts.

Receiving guests is a laborious job. Even if Mrs. Zhenbei Hou wanted to show off her niece, she still had to consider Xue Shu's health.

She was young and could not bear the burden. When she saw her tiredness, Mrs. Zhenbei Hou felt as if she was facing a formidable enemy. She sent three or five female envoys to Xue Chen and asked him to take good care of her.

With.

Xue Chen likes to be quiet. He comes to this osmanthus appreciation feast every year, firstly to accompany Xue Lu and secondly just to hang out with a few cousins ​​from his uncle's family. Therefore, he comes here and just hides in the backyard to relax. No outsiders will come.

disturb him.

Xue Shu had been sitting in front for more than half an hour, and her back had already been sore. When she returned to Xue Chen, she saw that there was no one around, so she didn't care much anymore. She leaned against the imperial concubine's couch and held the cup in her hand.

Xue Chen made tea for her with his own hands, squinting his eyes slightly, feeling very relaxed and comfortable.

"Why is Shu'er sleeping here? How can you feel better if you catch a cold? This is how you take care of Shu'er at home on weekdays?" A clear voice gradually approached along with a burst of very light footsteps, and the sound was mixed with a few words.

Share anger.

Sensing someone approaching, Xue Shu quickly sat up straight, turned her head and met a vaguely angry face: "Cousin, I'm not asleep."

Since Lu Yinghuai is the dream lover of many daughters in the capital, apart from his talent and knowledge, his appearance is naturally not bad either. He has sword-shaped eyebrows at the temples and phoenix eyes that are powerful. He is also wearing a black brocade robe. Just standing there, he is full of aura.

It makes people dare not look directly.

Lu Yinghuai didn't expect that she would suddenly sit up straight, with a startled look on her face. She quickly slowed down her voice, and her aura softened by seven or eight points in an instant: "It's cold today, so you have to keep warm at all times. You can't be careless, woman."

Children need to pay more attention."

"I know." Xue Shu said, quickly reaching out and straightening her clothes.

Naturally, her subconscious action could not escape Lu Yinghuai's eyes.

Seeing her restraint, Lu Yinghuai sighed secretly, thinking that the time would still be long in the future. Now that Xue Shu is willing to visit, he will naturally treat him as his brother in the future. Just take your time.

So Lu Yinghuai calmly sat down next to Xue Chen and said: "Shu'er, we are all very happy if you are willing to go home. The past things are in the past, and there is no need to talk about them in the future. Don't take those things to heart.

From now on, you can come and go as you please, the Marquis Mansion is also your home, don’t get involved with us, even if it’s not a year or a holiday, you should come home and stay more often.”

Xue Shu blinked. She was so shocked that she forgot to reply.

From what her cousin meant...it seemed like he knew why she was estranged from the Hou Mansion?

In fact, the reason why she didn't want to get close to the Marquis was simple. When she was three or four years old, Xue Yue would hold her in his arms and sigh, saying how the Marquis of Zhenbei was targeting him in the court, and how the Marquis of Zhenbei was behaving.

No matter how domineering he is, he has reduced the Zhenbei Hou Mansion to nothing.

At that time, Xue Shu was young and didn't understand anything. She only knew that her father, who was closer to her, was depressed because of the Zhenbei Hou Mansion, so she felt rejection and resistance towards the Zhenbei Hou Mansion in her heart.

So later on, no matter how well the Hou family treated her, she felt that the Hou family had ulterior motives and naturally refused to get close to her.

But these things all happened when Xue Shu was very young. Logically speaking, the Zhenbei Hou Mansion should not know about it.

"Don't look at me like that. There are some things that are actually not troublesome to investigate." All you need to do is ask the old slave next to Xue Yue. If you can't afford to torture him, you can do it.

The Zhenbei Hou Mansion is very good at interrogating and extracting confessions.

"Oh..." Xue Shu held the tea cup and nodded blankly.

Xue Chen looked at Lu Yinghuai and then at Xue Shu, confused for a moment: "What's going on?"

"It has nothing to do with you, go drink your tea." Lu Yinghuai became angry when he saw his confused look.

He obviously has a biological sister, but he still doesn't know how to cherish her. He talks coldly to his own biological sister, but he is gentle to the concubine. He is really a fool.

I don’t know how someone with such a brain managed to pass the Qiuwei exam at such a young age. I’m afraid he didn’t make his brain stupid because of studying.

Seeing that something was wrong with the atmosphere, Xue Shu quickly said: "Cousin, Shu'er was not sensible before..."

"You can't be blamed for this," Lu Yinghuai raised his hand and interrupted what she was about to say, "Xue Yue had ulterior motives. How can I blame you?"

Xue Shu wanted to speak, but was interrupted by a burst of noise.

Hearing this sound, Xue Shu suddenly realized that it was her second cousin who had been a demon king since she was a child, and her third cousin who had been bullied by her second cousin since she was a child.

Lu Yinghuai pressed his eyebrows and said, "Shu'er, have a good rest. I'll call you later when we have dinner."

After saying that, Lu Yinghuai stood up and walked out of the yard quickly, not forgetting to close the door behind him.

The noise outside stopped for a while, it must be Lu Yinghuai talking.

"I heard that Shu'er was coming, and she came back from the camp in the eastern suburbs on horseback! Why don't you let me see you? I haven't seen Shu'er for a long time!" This was the second cousin jumping around again.

"Second brother has always had a restless temper, and even the day of the Osmanthus Appreciation Banquet was no exception." This was the third cousin who couldn't keep his mouth shut again.

"Hey, have you met?!" This is when the second cousin started to mock people again.

"Shut up! Shu'er is resting inside. If I disturb Shu'er, you two will pack your things and get out!" This was when the eldest cousin finally couldn't bear it anymore.

Obviously Lu Yingyuan and Lu Yingche were both afraid of this elder brother, and there was no sound outside in an instant.

In the yard, Xue Chen and Xue Shu looked at each other, and neither of them could hold back, so they both laughed.

The three members of the Lu family are all martial arts practitioners, and their senses are much sharper than ordinary people. The laughter that the brother and sister tried to suppress in the yard did not escape their ears.

Lu Yingyuan curled his lips and muttered: "It's over, it's over now, my image in front of Shu'er is completely over."

"Brother, are you the one who asked people to surround my yard and not let me in at all?" Lu Yingche had a warm smile on his face.

Originally, he naively thought that this time was just an ordinary laurel appreciation banquet as usual. He had always been impatient of human interactions. Since he knew that Xue Shu would not come, he stayed in the yard and did not come out.

.

If it weren't for the fact that the surroundings were too quiet, not even a bird chirping, which aroused his suspicion, he went out and took a look, and he didn't know that his yard had already been tightly surrounded by people from three floors inside and three outside.

.

God knows, the moment he opened the door, he thought that the Hou Mansion had been raided, and he was scared to death.

Lu Yinghuai coughed guiltily and glanced at him. Lu Yingche had no choice but to lower his head obediently, not daring to ask any more questions.
