The sobbing in the room continued for a while before it stopped.

Xue Shu turned her head and saw Hong Ling walking out with Xue Yao supported.

Xue Yao wiped her tears with a handkerchief, her voice was a little hoarse: "Big sister, but I already...will anyone want me..."

She neither has a noble status, nor is there anyone who is so sincere that she doesn't care about her chastity, but only cares about her.

Under such circumstances, can she really live a good life?

Even with the support of Xue Lushi, she is not Xue Lushi's own, and she is not close to Xue Lushi. Xue Lushi has done his best to find her a good family. What will happen to her in the future? Such a day still depends on herself.

But she really has no confidence in herself.

After entering the back house, her path was only at the point in front of her eyes, without even a fork in the road, and she could see the end at a glance.

Xue Shu was also silent.

"Big sister, I don't want to marry..." Xue Yao finally mustered up the courage to express her true thoughts.

Rather than entrusting her future to someone she doesn't know well, she might as well hold it in her own hands. At least in this way, no matter what happens in the end, she can choose by herself.

"Big sister, I heard that Miss Qin's hot pot restaurant is doing very well, can I learn from Miss Qin?"

"...In two days, I'll go to Xiang'er to discuss it." Xue Shu looked at her, but didn't immediately agree.

After all, although the hot pot restaurant is said to have her share, it is clear that Qin Xiang paid more.

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

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

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

That gave birth to her mother.

"...Of course." Since Mrs. Zhenbeihou buried the person properly, instead of just throwing him in a mass grave, it means that Xue Lu also nodded.

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

Xue Shu nodded, with a complicated expression on her face: "Do you want to arrange a maid for you?"

"No need," Xue Yao shook her head, "The Xue family is no longer here, and I'm not the second girl of the Xue family anymore, so naturally I have to learn to live by myself."

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 there, if there is something missing, just tell Hong Ling, let her buy it for you."

That was originally a retreat she left for herself.

But now it seems that it doesn't work anymore.

Empty is also empty, if it can protect others from wind and rain, it is not a waste.

Xue Yao subconsciously wanted to refuse.

"Father is gone, Xue's mansion will be sealed soon," Xue Shu said, "You still need a place to stay. Over the years, you should have saved a lot of money, right? Is it enough?"

"... Enough," Xue Yao nodded lightly, "Thank you big sister."

"You're welcome." Xue Shu finished speaking, took another deep look at her, and took Qingyu away.

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

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

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

"Otherwise, what else can I do? Time is running out, so there is no time to be sad," Xue Shu sighed, "In the past two days, you should go and watch her. If it doesn't work, arrange a trustworthy envoy for her. Take care of."

"Yes."

Xue Shu sighed again.

Hong Ling went back to get the key, then went looking for Xue Yao non-stop for a moment, Qing Yu slowed down for a while, and finally regained her composure.

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

"...It's coming soon." Qingyu raised her hand and stroked her chest.

The feeling of watching life end in front of your eyes is quite terrifying.

-

When Xue Shu went back, Tangli House was almost cleaned up.

With Jing Xing watching in person, those people were really not generally agile in their work.

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

For some reason, Jing Xing just stood there without saying anything, but they just felt a sense of oppression inexplicably.

"Going to see your younger sister?" Jing Xing stopped not far from Xue Shu, and didn't come to her side like in the past.

Xue Shu nodded.

Jing Xing's awkwardness, she could see it naturally: "Are you still angry?"

Didn't he just hide something and didn't tell him?

As for being so atmospheric?

Jing Xing pursed his lips, but did not speak.

Qing Yu at the side walked away silently.

For some reason, she inexplicably felt that Jing Xing was acting like a baby.

If she continued to look at it, she was afraid that she would not see the sun of 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 answer."

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

"Just ask?"

Jing Xing nodded.

"Then when did you start thinking about me?" Xue Shu looked at him, although her face was serious, but there was an imperceptible smile hidden deep in her eyes.

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

Xue Shu squinted at him.

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

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

She snorted.

The things are almost packed, and Mrs. Zhenbei Hou also came over in person: "Shu'er, how is everything packed?"

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

Mrs. Zhenbei Hou nodded, with a smile on her face: "This is great, and in the future, we can live together!"

Xue Shu also smiled and nodded in agreement.

Jing Xing: ...

It seems like he shouldn't be here.

Sure enough, the smile on Madam Zhenbeihou's face completely stopped the moment she saw Jing Xing.

Tsk, why did I forget that my niece is already engaged and will be married soon.

Sensing Madam Zhenbeihou's slightly unfriendly gaze, Xue Shu coughed, and quickly stepped forward to divert Madam Zhenbeihou's attention, saying, "Auntie, how is my mother?"

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

She had already asked someone to draw up the letter of reconciliation, and she still had to take it to Xue Yue to draw and pledge.

Xue Shu nodded: "Auntie, go there first, I'll be back in a while."

Madam Zhenbeihou nodded.

Thinking that her sister would be able to take the children home soon, the smile on Mrs. Zhenbeihou's face couldn't be suppressed no matter what: "Okay, pack up and go home quickly, I'll go first—"
