Chapter 7

Ever since Xue Shu came over, Mrs. Zhenbei Hou has been holding Xue Shu's hand, not letting go for a moment, even when receiving guests.

All of you who were able to attend were also good people. As soon as you saw Xue Shu, you knew the reason why the Zhenbei Hou Mansion held this big osmanthus banquet.

Who in the capital city doesn't know that this osmanthus appreciation banquet is just for Xue Shu. Xue Shu didn't come here before, so it's fine to be casual, but now that the rightful owner is here, isn't it just a big event?

All of a sudden, countless scrutinizing or envious eyes fell on Xue Shu, and everyone had their own thoughts.

Receiving guests is a laborious task. Even if Mrs. Zhenbeihou wants to show off her own niece, she still has to consider Xue Shu's health.

She was young and couldn't bear it. Seeing that she was showing signs of fatigue, Madam Zhenbei felt as if she was facing a formidable enemy, and sent three or five maids to Xue Chen, asking him to take good care of her. with.

Xue Chen likes to be quiet, and he comes here every year to enjoy the osmanthus banquet, one is to accompany Xue Lu, and the other is just to walk around with a few cousins ​​of his uncle's family, so when he comes, just hide in the backyard and relax, no outsiders will come bother him.

Xue Shu had been sitting at the front for more than half an hour, her back was sore and her back was sore. As soon as she returned to Xue Chen's side and saw no one around, she couldn't care less. She leaned on the imperial concubine's couch, holding Xue Chen brewed tea for her by himself, squinting his eyes slightly, very leisurely and comfortable.

"Why is Shu'er sleeping here? What if you catch a cold? Is this how you take care of Shu'er at home?" A clear voice gradually approached with the sound of very light footsteps. very angry.

Sensing someone approaching, Xue Shu quickly sat up straight, turned her head to meet a faintly 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 learning, his appearance is naturally not bad, with sword eyebrows and phoenix eyes, and he is wearing a black brocade robe. People dare not look directly at it.

Lu Yinghuai didn't expect her to sit up straight suddenly, her face froze, she quickly slowed down her voice, and her aura instantly softened seven to eight points: "If it's cold today, you must keep warm at all times, don't be careless, ma'am Children need to pay more attention."

"I know." Xue Shu said, and quickly stretched out her hands to straighten her clothes.

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

Seeing her cautiousness, Lu Yinghuai sighed secretly, thinking that it will be a long time in the future, now that Xue Shu is willing to come to the door, he will naturally be able to treat him as his own brother in the future, just take it slowly.

So Lu Yinghuai sat down next to Xue Chen calmly, and said: "Shu'er, we are all very happy that you are willing to go home, the previous things are over, 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 like, the Hou Mansion is also your home, please don't have a relationship with us, even if it's not a year or a festival, you should go home and live for a while. "

Xue Shu blinked, shocked for a moment, and forgot to reply.

Hearing what her cousin means... seems to know why she is estranged from the Hou Fu?
In fact, the reason for her refusal to get close to the Hou Mansion is also simple. When she was three or four years old, Xue Yue hugged her and sighed at every turn, talking about how the Zhenbei Hou Mansion targeted him in the court hall, and how the Zhenbei Marquis behaved. No matter how domineering, in short, it will demote the Zhenbei Marquis 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 frowning because of the Zhenbeihou Mansion, so she repelled and resisted the Zhenbeihou Mansion in her heart.

So that later, no matter how the Hou Mansion treated her well, she felt that the Hou Mansion had other purposes, so naturally she refused to get close to him.

But these things all happened when Xue Shu was very young. It stands to reason that the Zhenbei Hou Mansion shouldn't know about it.

"Don't look at me like that. There are some things that are actually easy to find out." You only need to ask the old slave next to Xue Yue, if you really can't do it, you can torture him.

In terms of interrogation and extortion of confessions, the Zhenbei Hou Mansion is very good at it.

"Oh..." Xue Shu nodded blankly while holding the teacup.

Xue Chen looked at Lu Yinghuai, then at Xue Shu, and was confused for a while: "What's the matter?"

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

He obviously has a biological sister, but he doesn't know how to cherish it. He speaks sarcasticly to his own biological sister, but treats that concubine sister mildly. He is really a fool.

I don't know how such a brain passed the Qiuwei exam at a young age. I'm afraid it wasn't because of reading that made my brain stupid.

Seeing that something was wrong with the atmosphere, Xue Shu hurriedly said, "Cousin, it was Shu'er who was ignorant before..."

"I can't blame you for this matter," Lu Yinghuai raised her hand, interrupting what she was about to say, "It's Xue Yue who has ulterior motives, how can I blame you."

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

Hearing this voice, Xue Shu realized that it should be the second cousin who has been the devil king since childhood, and the third cousin who was bullied by the second cousin since childhood.

Lu Yinghuai patted the center of his eyebrows and said, "Shu'er, take a good rest, and I'll call you again when I'm having dinner."

After finishing speaking, Lu Yinghuai got up and walked out of the yard quickly, not forgetting to close the door behind him.

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

"I heard that Shu'er is here, and she came back from Daying 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 is the second cousin jumping again.

"Second brother has always been a restless temper, even on the day of appreciating osmanthus." This is the third cousin who can't control his mouth again.

"Yo, did you meet?!" This was the second cousin who started to mock people again.

"Shut up! Shu'er is resting inside, if Shu'er is disturbed, you two should pack up your things and get out!" This is when the big cousin finally couldn't take it anymore.

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

In the yard, Xue Chen and Xue Shu looked at each other, and one of them couldn't help but laughed together.

The three members of the Lu family are all martial arts practitioners, and their five senses are much sharper than ordinary people. The laughter that the brothers and sisters 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 all over."

"Brother, you are the one who asked people to surround my yard so that no wind could pass through, right?" Lu Yingche smiled warmly.

Originally, he naively thought that this time was just an ordinary osmanthus banquet as usual. He has always been impatient with human relations. Now that he knew that Xue Shu would not come, he stayed in the yard and did not come out. .

If it wasn't for the fact that the surrounding area was too quiet, there was not even a bird chirping, which aroused his suspicion. He went out and took a look, but he didn't know that his yard had already been surrounded by people on the third floor and the third floor. .

God knows, the moment he opened the door, he thought that the Hou's mansion had been raided, and his soul was frightened away.

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