Chapter 99 New Year’s greetings

Everyone sat in the front hall, chatting about trivial things until it was time to eat at noon.

Since this was a private visit, Zhenbei Hou and Jing Ye both had a tacit understanding and would never talk about business.

Just kidding, after finally taking a break, who is talking about work?

Unknowingly, Ri raised his head and walked to the center seat. The servants also came to report that the flower hall had been decorated.

"It's already noon, won't Shu'er come out to eat?" Mrs. Jing turned her head and looked in the direction of the backyard, still thinking about Xue Shu.

"She is not feeling well today and cannot move." Mrs. Zhenbei Hou explained casually, and then hurriedly greeted everyone away as if she was afraid that Mrs. Jing would continue to ask questions.

Xue Chen and Jing Xing, who had always been good friends, were uncharacteristically different today. They didn't speak to each other all morning, and when they had lunch at noon, they were far apart.

A few days ago, the news that Xue Chen visited late at night just to give Jing Xing a good beating had spread, and everyone present naturally knew it. However, after all, this was just a friction between juniors, nothing serious, and no one brought it to the forefront.

When I came up, I just had a lively lunch and was ready to see off the guests.

Before leaving, Mrs. Jing took out a big red envelope from her sleeve and stuffed it into Mrs. Zhenbei Hou's hand: "This is for Shu'er. Please help me hand it over to you. I will bring you a generous gift after the New Year."

Look at her."

Mrs. Zhenbei Hou subconsciously wanted to refuse, but before she could say anything, Mrs. Jing dropped the red envelope and ran away with Jing Ye.

The couple trotted all the way, and Jing Ye would reach out to protect her from time to time, lest she fall, and the back view was very sweet.

Marquis Zhenbei and his wife looked at each other, and both of them sighed silently.

If they could have opened their eyes a little brighter back then, maybe Xue Lu would have had such a husband who always thought about herself, so she wouldn't have to compromise and change her temperament.

Pity.

Marquis Zhenbei and his wife quickly adjusted their expressions and sent the guests out of the door.

Seeing the backs of Jing Ye's family slowly walking away, Zhenbei Hou breathed a sigh of relief. He turned his head to look at Xue Chen and said, "Did you beat that boy from the Jing family?"

Xue Chen nodded solemnly.

"The hands are really cruel." It has been several days, and bruises can still be seen faintly at the corners of Jing Xing's mouth, which shows how much strength Xue Chen exerted at that time.

Moreover, Jing Xing's face was so good-looking, so Xue Chen went out of his way to say hello to that face, which even the Marquis of Zhenbei felt was a pity.

Xue Chen glanced at him silently.

If he knew what Jing Xing was thinking, he would probably not be able to get out of the Marquis Mansion today.

Everyone was about to turn around and go back home when they were suddenly stopped by a familiar and unlucky voice: "Brother! Sister-in-law!"

The Marquis of Zhenbei frowned impatiently and turned back, while the Marquis of Zhenbei walked straight into the Marquis' Mansion without stopping, without even bothering to turn around.

Clearly seeing the impatience on everyone's faces, Xue Yue no longer cared about etiquette and jumped out of the carriage. He almost sprained his feet the moment he landed. His whole body was like a wave - bending.

After a moment, he quickly stood up straight again.

He bowed his hands in front of everyone and saluted with a sincere smile on his face: "Brother, the Chinese New Year is coming soon, so I came over to pay my New Year greetings! Are Aqin and the children okay?"

"What does it have to do with you?" Zhenbei Hou frowned, quite impatient.

The smile on Xue Yue's face could hardly be maintained.

What does it have to do with him?

Those are his wife and children!

They haven't reconciled yet!

However, Zhenbei Hou didn't feel anything wrong at all. Seeing that he didn't speak, he turned around and left, not bothering to waste time with him anymore.

However, he had just taken a few steps when he heard a delicate female voice behind him: "My lord, are you okay? Why did you fall so fast just now? Please call me quickly to make sure you don't fall."

Then, Zhenbeihou paused in his steps.

All the men turned back and looked at the woman who had just gotten out of the carriage and was looking at Xue Yue with concern.

Marquis Zhenbei laughed angrily.

It's such a big deal to move a favor, Xue Yue takes a concubine?

Are you here to pay him New Year greetings, or are you here to cause trouble for him?

Xue Yue did not expect that Aunt Wu would dare to get off the carriage. His face changed for a moment, and he reprimanded in a low voice: "What are you doing here! Go back quickly! Hurry!"

"Father," Xue Chen's voice was clear and cold, as if there was no emotion at all, "even if my father wants to reconcile with my mother quickly, he doesn't have to do it so harshly."

On such a formal occasion, Xue Yue brought a concubine and was seen by so many people. This was a slap in Xue Lu's face.

"You kid! What nonsense are you talking about!" Xue Yue was so anxious that he was sweating. He even wanted to explain with gestures, but when he met Xue Chen's eyes that had no emotion at all, he couldn't say anything.

.

No one cared about him, and no one cared about Aunt Wu. Everyone in the Hou Mansion entered the house one after another. In the end, even Xue Chen turned around and left without any hesitation.

Although Xue Yue could still see everyone's figures, he knew that he would not be able to rush through them no matter what.

Xue Yue closed his eyes and tried hard to suppress the anger in his heart. When he finally saw Aunt Wu's innocent and confused face, his anger finally burst out.

He directly slapped Aunt Wu on the face, then raised his foot and slapped Aunt Wu hard: "If you fail to succeed, you will fail! If you hadn't said you were just worried about me today, I would have taken you out.

?! You came out and refused to stay still, and instead of sitting in the car properly, you dared to come out and mess with me! Idiot! Idiot!"

Over the years, Aunt Wu has been pampered and pampered, and her skin and tender flesh could not withstand such punches and kicks. She fell to the ground and could not get up.

Seeing Xue Yue get on the carriage and leave without any intention of waiting for her, Aunt Wu couldn't care less about whether she was angry or not. She was so dishonorable that she sprinted for two steps with almost all her strength and struggled to sit down.

Get in the car.

Just now, the people in the Zhenbei Hou Mansion looked at her as if they wanted to skin her alive. If she was thrown at the gate of the Zhenbei Hou Mansion, what would be the difference between her being left at the gate of the Ghost Gate?

Therefore, even if she loses her face and ruins her image, Aunt Wu still has to climb onto the carriage.

After getting on the carriage, she didn't dare to go in, so she had to gather her clothes and huddle miserably with the coachman.

This scene in front of the Hou Mansion was naturally reported to the master by the concierge. After hearing this, Mrs. Zhenbei Hou only sneered and said that he had some brains, so she revealed the matter.

Anyway, Mrs. Xue Lu will make peace with Xue Yue in a short while. Mrs. Xue Lu has made up her mind and it is a foregone conclusion now. She does not need to worry about Xue Yue anymore.
