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

Chapter 96 Complaint

On the way back to the Hou Mansion, Qingyu had been a little absent-minded, as if she had something on her mind.

After returning to Guizhongju, Qingyu used the excuse that she was not feeling well and quickly helped Xue Shu take off her makeup and change into pajamas before sneaking to Xue Chen's yard.

Compared with the exquisite and grand Guizhongju, Xue Chen's yard is much more perfunctory, as if it is just a guest house. There are no plants and trees he likes around. There are many things in the yard, even his own.

Purchased with money.

However, Xue Chen had no objection or dissatisfaction with this.

After all, Mrs. Zhenbei Hou treats her own children and Xue Chen equally.

Treat everyone equally and perfunctorily.

The courtyards of the three Lu brothers were basically carved out of the same mold as Xue Chen's, and everything was purchased with their own money. Mrs. Zhenbei Hou didn't even bother to take care of it at all.

Xue Chen likes to write, and he also likes to have his handwriting visible everywhere. The best way is to hang his handwriting on the porch so that it can be seen when he goes out.

It seems to have some artistic conception during the day, but the black and white words, in this cold night, when the wind blows, the paper makes a "rustling" sound, and the writing that looks like iron and silver hooks in the day turns into a gloomy one at night.

His ghost claws kept reaching out towards Qingyu.

The scene was extremely weird.

Qingyu shrank her neck and boldly walked into the courtyard, then stopped eight feet away from the papers: "Master? Master, are you there?"

Xue Chen's habits are the same everywhere, he doesn't like to boss around his servants, and he doesn't want them to hang around in front of him, so following Xue Chen is definitely a good job.

All you need to do is sweep the courtyard every day. After cleaning, you can go back to the courtyard and stay there. If nothing happens, nothing will happen to you all day long.

It was the same at this time, there was no one in the courtyard, only the study room was still lit by candlelight.

Xue Chen, who was in the room, heard the noise and opened the window to check: "Qingyu? Why are you here now? Where is Shu'er?"

Qingyu stamped her somewhat stiff feet and said, "The girl has gone to bed. I came here because I want to ask the young master something."

Xue Chen was stunned for a moment, then nodded: "Come in and talk."

It's getting dark early now, but according to the time of day, it's only Xu hour now.

Xue Chen is still reading.

As soon as Qingyu came in, Xue Chen turned the scroll in his hand upside down on the table, looked at her quietly, and waited for her to explain her purpose.

Qingyu lowered her head and stood by the door in a dignified manner, not taking a single step: "Today, my servant went to the street with the girl. Young Master... What kind of person do you think Young Master Jing is?"

She changed the topic so quickly that even Xue Chen was stunned for a moment: "...Jing Xing? He...has outstanding character, appearance, talent and learning. Isn't this obvious to all?"

Jing Xing's excellence can be seen by everyone in the capital.

Qingyu suddenly became anxious: "That's not all. I'm asking, does Mr. Jing have any... bad habits?"

This time, Xue Chen was not in a hurry to speak.

He leaned back in his chair and looked at Qingyu with a scrutinizing gaze for a long time, then asked quietly: "What happened?"

Qingyu was waiting for him to take the initiative to ask questions, so as soon as Xue Chen finished speaking, Qingyu told everything about today's events in detail, including the strangeness she discovered in Jing Xing.

Of course, it would be inconvenient for Xue Chen to know some of what Xue Shu said.

After all, she came here just to report Jing Xing, and she would not involve her master in it.

So she added fuel to the fire, and by the end, Xue Chen's face was almost as black as the bottom of a pot.

"So this servant thinks that Jing Xing is treating the girl...or..." Qingyu also noticed that Xue Chen's expression was not good, and she became more cautious when speaking, "Does it mean something like that?"

Xue Chen slowly exhaled and sneered: "I know about this. Does Shu'er have anything against Jing Xing..."

Qingyu shook her head decisively and said: "No! The girl seems to be unaware of this matter. The girl doesn't even know what Mr. Jing is thinking!"

If Xue Shu had known about it, she probably wouldn't have spent the more than 30,000 taels of silver today in vain.

Fortunately, Xue Shu had made a lot of money recently and had no shortage of money. Otherwise, if it had been in the past, these more than 30,000 taels of silver would have been enough to wipe out her family fortune.

Xue Chen nodded and said: "Go back first and take good care of her. Don't let Shu'er feel anything strange. I will handle Jing Xing's side..."

He had to "deal with" this person who had ulterior motives from the beginning and was lurking around him!

As soon as Qingyu left, he ordered someone to harness the carriage and drive to the Prime Minister's Mansion.

If he didn't give Jing Xing a good beating, he probably wouldn't be able to sleep well tonight.

Early the next morning, Xue Shu woke up leisurely. She glanced at the bright sky outside the window, lay on the bed and relaxed for a while, then sat up and called Qing Yu in.

"There are guests coming to the Marquis's residence today, girl, do you want to go and see them?" Qing Yu held a comb and gestured on Xue Shu's head. For a moment, she didn't know whether she should comb her hair more formally or more casually.

"No." Xue Shu yawned.

This is the Hou Mansion, and to be serious, she is also a guest.

Qingyu pouted unhappily and gave Xue Shu a simple hairstyle.

After dressing up, Xue Shu went to the teahouse and asked Qingyu to take out the Bitan Piaoxue and soak it in it.

When it was time to have lunch, Lu Yinghuai suddenly came over.

"Cousin?" Xue Shu slowly stood up and walked over to greet him, "Why are you here so suddenly?"

Lu Yinghuai pursed his lips and smiled, then handed her the food box in his hand.

Qingyu quickly stepped forward to take it.

"In a few days, my second uncle and the others will be back. Then the house will be closed to welcome guests, so there will be a lot of guests in the house these days." Lu Yinghuai raised his hand and pinched Xue Shu's face, "If you want

If you want to buy anything, even if you tell your servants to run errands, it's better for you not to go because the front yard is in a mess."

"Okay." Xue Shu agreed with a smile, then turned to look at the contents of the food box.

Just by smelling it, Xue Shu could tell that it was made by the chef from Qingfeng Mingyue Tower who was from Sichuan.

After all, most people don't put in so much chili pepper and Sichuan peppercorns. As soon as the lid was opened, the spicy and spicy smell hit the face, irritating people's noses and making them itchy.

Xue Shu quickly took out the dishes with Qing Yu and placed them on the tea table.

"When the time comes, will the official ministers also come?"

Lu Yinghuai nodded slightly, knowing what she was going to say, so he said directly: "Don't worry, if Miss Qin comes, I will ask her to come directly to you."

When he cooked a snow banquet last time, he could tell that his cousin had a very close relationship with Miss Qin.
