Chapter 96 Complaint
On the way back to the Marquis' Mansion, Qingyu was always absent-minded, as if she had something on her mind.

After returning to Guizhongju, Qingyu excused herself that she was not feeling well, and hurriedly waited on Xue Shu to take off her make-up and change into her pajamas, and then sneaked to Xue Chen's yard.

Compared with the exquisite and majestic Gui Zhongju, Xue Chen's yard is much more perfunctory. It seems that it is just a guest house opened up. There are no plants he likes around. There are many things in the yard, even his own. It was purchased with money.

However, Xue Chen did not object to this, nor was he dissatisfied.

After all, Mrs. Zhenbei Hou treats her parents and children as well as Xue Chen equally.

Perfunctory treatment without discrimination.

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

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

It seems to have a bit of artistic conception during the day, but the black and white writing, in this harsh night, when the wind blows, the paper makes a "rustling" sound, and the handwriting that looks like iron and silver hooks in the daytime becomes gloomy at night. The ghost claws kept reaching out to Qingyu.

The scene was extremely weird.

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

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

You only need to sweep the courtyard every day, and after the sweeping, you will go back to the courtyard and stay there. If there is no accident, you may be fine for a whole day.

It was the same at this time, there was no one in the yard, only the study room was still lit with candles.

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

Qingyu stomped her stiff feet, and said: "Young lady has fallen asleep, and this servant came to ask you something."

Xue Chen was taken aback for a moment, then nodded, "Come in and talk."

It's getting dark now, but according to the time, it's just Xu time.

Xue Chen is still reading.

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

Qingyu lowered her head, and stood by the door in a dignified manner, without taking a single step: "Today, the servant and maid went to the street with the girl, son... what kind of person do you think Mr. 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 that obvious to all?"

The excellence of Jing Xing can be seen by everyone in the capital.

Qingyu was a little anxious immediately: "It's not that, the servant is saying, what...bad habits does Mr. Jing have?"

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

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

Qingyu was waiting for him to ask questions, so as soon as Xue Chen finished speaking, Qingyu told everything about today's events in detail, including what she found strange about Jing Xing.

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

After all, she came this time only to sue Jing Xing, and she would not involve her master in it.

So she added oil and vinegar and said, in the end, Xue Chen's face was almost blackened.

"That's why I feel that Jing Xing treats the girl... or..." Qing Yu also noticed that Xue Chen's complexion was not good, and she became more cautious when speaking, "Does it mean that?"

Xue Chen let out a breath slowly, and sneered: "I know about this, what does Shu'er have to Jing Xing..."

Qingyu shook her head resolutely, and said: "No! The girl... seems to have no idea about this matter, the girl doesn't even know what Mr. Jing is thinking!"

If Xue Shu knew, she probably wouldn't have spent the 3 taels in vain today.

Fortunately, Xue Shu has made a lot of money recently, so she has never been short of silver. Otherwise, in the past, the more than 3 taels of silver would have been enough to empty out her family.

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

He has to "deal with it" well, this person who has been lurking by his side since the very beginning!

As soon as Qingyu left, he ordered someone to hitch a cart on his back, and headed for the Right Prime Minister's Mansion.

If he didn't beat Jing Xing up, he probably wouldn't be able to sleep well tonight.

The next morning, Xue Shu woke up slowly. She glanced at the misty sky outside the window, lay on the bed for a while, and then sat up and called Qingyu in.

"There are guests coming to Hou's mansion today, girl, do you want to go and have a look?" Qingyu gestured on Xue Shu's hair with a comb, not knowing whether to comb formally or casually.

"No." Xue Shu yawned.

This is the Hou Mansion, and seriously, she is also a guest.

Qingyu pouted unhappily, and gave Xue Shu a simple hairstyle.

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

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

"Cousin?" Xue Shu stood up slowly and greeted him, "Why are you here suddenly?"

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

Qingyu hurriedly stepped forward to take it.

"In a few days, Second Uncle and the others will be back. At that time, the house will close the door to thank guests, so there will be many guests in the house in the past few days." Lu Yinghuai raised his hand and pinched Xue Shu's face, "If you want to Buy something, even if you tell the servants to run errands, the front yard is messy, it’s better not to go.”

"Okay." Xue Shu responded with a smile, and then turned to look at the things in the food box.

Xue Shu could smell it just by smelling it. It was made by the cook from Sichuan and Sichuan in Qingfeng Mingyue Tower.

After all, ordinary people don't put so much chili and peppercorns in such a generous way. As soon as the lid was lifted, the spicy and spicy smell rushed over, making people's noses itchy.

Together with Qingyu, Xue Shu quickly took out the dishes and put them on the tea table.

"At that time, will the Minister of the Ministry of Officials also come?"

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

When cooking a snow banquet last time, he could see that his cousin had a very good relationship with that Miss Qin.
