"It's you, isn't it?"
Yu Shu believed that Cao Zixin would not change into a different person for no reason. He pretended not to know her because there were outsiders present in their previous meetings. She could understand that it was inconvenient to talk. She didn't need him to explain anything to her, and she didn't intend to expose him in front of outsiders. She just needed a little hint from him to let her confirm that he was a friend and not an enemy.
She looked straight at the handsome face by the window, hoping to see a little gentleness and friendliness that she was familiar with on him. However, to her disappointment, there was confusion and annoyance on his face.
"Brother Cao? Who is that? "
As if a basin of cold water had been poured on her head, Yu Shu clenched her fists and suppressed the fire in her heart. She took a step back and pulled the corner of her mouth. She faked a smile at Xue Dashao in the car and said, "No. Nothing, hehe. "
If he didn't want to admit it, why should she force him? She would just treat him as the young master of the Xue family.
Xue Rui looked at Yu Shu, and the kindness in his eyes suddenly disappeared. He moved his lips and said, "What are you doing here alone?"
Yu Shu looked around at the quiet streets, rubbed her arms and smiled bitterly, "I went out with someone in the afternoon and got lost. I got lost and turned here."
"Got lost and came here?" Xue Rui smiled ambiguously. It was unknown whether he believed Yu Shu's lie or not. He knocked on the window with his fingers and said, "Come up, I will send you back."
"Ah? You want to send me back? " Yu Shu was a little surprised. Xue Dashao didn't seem to like her. He turned his face and kindly offered to send her back.
Xue Rui frowned, "What's wrong? Didn't you get lost? Do you want to come up or not?"
Yu Shu realized that he was not joking. She immediately went around to the front of the car, lifted the curtain and climbed up. She would be a fool not to take the car. Besides, it was a good cover for her to run away for a whole day if Xue Dashao sent her back in person. Ji Hyotani suspected that she deliberately got rid of the stalker, but he couldn't find trouble with her because of Xue Dashao. It was really killing two birds with one stone. The inside of the carriage was very similar to Pei Jing's car. It was not spacious but comfortable enough. Yu Shu chose a place near the door and sat down. Xue Rui asked the coachman to turn around and go to the Ji family.
Xue Rui crossed his hands on his knees as he gazed at Yu Shu who sat far away from him and was playing with her fingers with her head lowered. After a while, he suddenly said, "How old are you this year?"
After a while, he suddenly said, "How old are you this year?" Yu Shu was reciting the third section of the Six Refutations Method.
"You have a younger brother?"
"Yes."
"Yesterday, the fortune teller read your fortune and said that your face was bloody. It seemed that your younger brother had an accident. It was said that he was naughty and was beaten. Is that right?"
Yu Shu looked up and saw the sneer in Xue Dashao's eyes. Her eyes darkened and she said softly, "Yes, he was disobedient and was whipped. His skin was torn and his flesh was torn. Now he is still lying in bed and can't get up. Isn't it bloody?"
Xue Rui's eyes flickered and he was silent for a while. Suddenly he loosened his hands and leaned forward to pick up the teapot. He poured the tea into two porcelain cups embedded in the pear wood table. He held one cup in his hand and put the other on the corner of the table nearest to her. He sat up again and lifted the curtain with one hand to look outside.
Yu Shu squinted at the cup of tea placed in front of her, and then turned to look at Master Xue who was looking out the window. The depressing feeling from running out was swept away, and she suddenly felt like laughing.
Some things, no matter how the outside world changed, were still what they were.
She reached for the teacup and gulped it down. She put the teacup back on the coffee table without thanking him. They did not speak along the way.
***
Xue Rui stopped the carriage in front of the Ji family's gate. He didn't turn around to leave. Instead, he got off the carriage with Yu Shu. The concierge went in to report. Soon, Ji Hyotani rushed to the front door. When he saw Yu Shu, who had been gone for a whole day, he almost lost his temper. However, when he turned around and saw Xue Rui, he smiled.
"My daughter was rash. I'll have to trouble Mr. Xue to send her home."
"It doesn't matter. I just happened to meet her on the street, so I picked her up and brought her back." Xue Rui
His tone was as if he picked up something on the street and sent it back to its owner.
Ji Hyotani turned to Yu Shu, who was sloppy. He wanted to give her two slaps in his heart, but he still smiled: "Have you thanked Mr. Xue?"
Yu Shu was happy to see Ji Hyotani holding his breath. She pretended to be shy and glanced at Master Xue. She bowed her head and said: "Thank you."
When Ji Xiaogu saw her revealing her feminine side, he then looked at Xue Rui's dignified appearance. His eyes flickered and he secretly sneered. He thought in his heart, 'Two days ago, this wild girl refused to agree no matter what, but she's already taken the bait so quickly.
"Mr. Xue, it's late. Why don't you stay for a meal? My mother is looking forward to seeing you." After all, he was one of the candidates for the future son-in-law of Ji family. Old Lady Ji was very interested to see him in person.
"Another day." Xue Rui's mood was lacking, so he immediately excused himself. Without even looking at Yu Shu, he boarded the carriage and left.
As soon as he left, Ji Hyotani's face fell. He said to Yu Shu angrily: "Go back to your room!"
Yu Shu admired the look of anger on his face again before she left happily.
When she returned to the small courtyard, it was already evening. Qiuxiang was standing in the courtyard in a daze. When she saw Mo Tiange coming in, she ran up to her excitedly. "Miss, Miss, where, where did you go? Master, Master, he …"
"Third Master was looking for me everywhere, right?" Yu Shu helped her finish her words. This morning, she found that this little maid was not timid and couldn't speak, but she really stuttered.
"Yes, yes."
"I know. It's okay. You can go back to your work." Yu Shu patted her shoulder and entered Yu Xiaoxiu's room. The smell of medicine was still in the room. It was obvious that he had taken medicine not long ago.
Yu Xiaoxiu had been lying on the bed for the past few days. Other than sleeping, there was only sleeping. Yu Shu locked the door upside down, walked to the side of the bed, and sat down. She patted him and woke him up.
Yu Xiaoxiu yawned and turned his head: "You're back. Third Master was looking for you. He ran to the courtyard to ask me, but I said I didn't know."
Yu Shu went out in the morning to inform Yu Xiaoxiu, so he wasn't worried when she was gone for a whole day. Unlike the Ji family, they were all afraid that she would run away.
"En, don't worry about him." Yu Shu pulled back the quilt and looked at his thin back wrapped in gauze. She gently pressed on his wound, "Does it still hurt?"
"It doesn't hurt as much. It's just a little itchy. Sister, can you scratch it for me?"
"What are you scratching? Bear with it. It'll get more itchy in a few days." Yu Shu pulled the blanket over him. She changed the topic and said seriously, "I went to the Chamber of Commerce today and found a way. When you've recovered, we'll leave." "That's right.
Yu Xiaoxiu's eyes lit up: "Really?"
"Really." Yu Shu saw that he was happy. She hesitated and said: "Xiaoxiu, after we leave, what if you miss your mother?"
Aunt Cui definitely wouldn't leave with them. She was fine because they didn't have any feelings for each other. Yu Xiaoxiu was different. She was his real mother. No matter how cold she was to him, they still had a mother and son relationship.
Yu Xiaoxiu's eyes darkened. He turned and buried his head in the pillow. He said in a muffled voice: "Mother, she … It's the same without us."
He didn't tell his sister that Aunt Cui came to see him this morning. She didn't say a word of concern or shed a single tear. She just repeatedly told him to listen to Third Elder Master. She warned him to watch his sister and not let her run away.
He was beaten up like this. Not only did his mother not feel sorry for him, she also made him listen to that bad guy and guard against his sister. He was angry and wronged, but he couldn't help it. That was his mother.
"Sister, don't we still have a few dozen taels of silver? Can, can you leave half of it for mother?"
Yu Shu was afraid that he would be sad. She agreed without thinking: "Okay, I'll think of a way to leave it for her before we leave."
In this way, he didn't have enough money on him. He had to find a chance to go out and make more money.
Last night, Yu Shu stayed up all night. Recently, she didn't have time to study the law of the time of calamity. Yesterday, she was excited, so she lit the lamp and calculated for the whole night. When it was almost dawn, she packed up the paper and went back to bed.
Just when she fell asleep, she was shaken awake. When she opened her eyes, she saw old maid Huang. She thought that she remembered the wrong date. Today, she was going to Xue family's guesthouse.
"Get up and get dressed. Mr. Xue is here."
Yu Shu was sore all over and didn't want to move. When she got up, she said angrily: "Why did you call me when he came? Isn't there Fourth Miss?"
Yesterday, Young Master Xue also came. If she remembered correctly, he was a guest accompanied by Fourth Miss. Ji Xiaochun asked her to go to the hall and then drove her away. Why did he want her to show up today?
Old maid Huang pulled her arm and pulled her up. She said angrily: "Fourth Miss will go back to the capital at dawn. Third Elder Master wants you to meet a guest. Get up!"
Left?
Yu Shu woke up. She sat up and wiped her face. While putting on her clothes, she was thinking about what was going on. The master left and she was left to replace him. Ji Xingxuan was so generous. Young Master Xue was the man she would marry in the future. Why did it seem that she had nothing to do with him?
Yu Shu felt strange for a while and didn't think much about it. Anyway, in her heart, she had to ruin the marriage between the Ji family and the Xue family. If they wanted to claim kinship, she would make them enemies.
With a sinister smile, Yu Shu bent over and splashed a handful of cold water on her face.
Just like the other day, she put on the waist belt, put on the powder, and hung the accessories. She put on the clothes and pretended to be dressed. Only then did Old Woman Huang push her out of the courtyard. Together with Qiuxiang, they accompanied her to the Southern Courtyard.
It was not the tearoom yesterday. It was a flower hall. Yu Shu was led to the door. She turned around and looked inside. She saw Ji Hyotani sitting and talking with the well-dressed Young Master Xue.
"Third Elder, Mr. Xue." Yu Shu stood at the door and bowed. She covered half of her face with the fan in her hand and yawned.
They looked back at her together. Ji Hyotani frowned and said to her: "Why are you so slow? You made Mr. Xue wait for a long time."
Yu Shu yawned again and lowered her eyes without saying anything.
Xue Rui raised his eyebrows. He put down the tea in his hand and asked her: "Have you had breakfast?"
Yu Shu said honestly: "Not yet."
Xue Rui put down the tea in his hand and stood up. He flicked his clothes and said: "Let's go and have breakfast first."
Yu Shu made a face and turned to look at Ji Hyotani. What was he going to do?
