After Xue Rui lost his temper for a while, he calmed down again. Even though he was angry that Yu Shu didn't discuss such an important matter with him, he was similarly aware of her personality. Whenever something happened, she liked to stay by herself, and if she could solve it herself, she would rather die than ask for help from others. Now, it was already not easy for her to tell him honestly.
After thinking for a while, Xue Rui asked Yu Shu, "Then what are you going to do next?"
Yu Shu saw that his face was better and told him her plan, "The Ji family's old master asked me to pack my things and move over tomorrow. I am going to teach Ji Xingxuan slowly until the Da Yan Examination results are released."
Xue Rui frowned, "Are you really willing to teach others what you have learned?"
Those who learned the Yi Yi treasured their own knowledge. Even if it was a small trick, they would not easily reveal it unless it was passed down by someone from the same sect. Moreover, it was a secret skill that could not be exchanged for money.
Yu Shu pinched her forehead and said, "So what if I don't want to? If Ji Xingxuan is stupid and ignorant, I can take advantage of her ignorance and fool her. But she is very talented and has a deep understanding of the Book of Changes. If I try to coax her, she will find out after some time. I can only teach her some of my real skills, but I can't teach her everything I know. If she is not satisfied, I can find another way to refuse."
The Six Lines Divination Method, in addition to the general outline of starting and getting the divinations, was divided into four chapters, in order: national affairs, natural disasters, future good or bad, marriage and harmony. Each chapter has a set of incantations. Only knowing the general chapter can not solve the divination. Only the corresponding incantations can be used to pry into the mysteries of heaven.
The last time she was at the Dingbo Mansion, she used the exact method of determining whether her future was good or bad. Only then did she know which cup of wine she chose for Xue Rui to drink, and she herself would be safe and sound. Her luck that day was really good. Her usual sixty percent accuracy was right on target. That was why she was targeted by Ji Xingxuan.
Since she knew about it, if he wanted to teach her, he could only teach her this. Otherwise, he could still use the marriage chapter to make up the numbers. Didn't he scare Xia Mingming like that back then?
Xue Rui listened to her words. There was a hint of helplessness in her words, but she didn't mean to ask him for help at all. Xue Rui only treated him as an audience. He wanted to be angry, but he also wanted to laugh.
"Why bother? Just do what you have to do tomorrow. Don't worry about them. Leave this matter to me. I guarantee that no matter what you do, your papers will stay safely in the Celestial Commissioner's office. No one will be able to move them."
Yu Shu lifted her eyelids and stared at him for a while. She noticed that there was still a trace of anger between his brows. Suddenly, she broke into laughter. The grievances she had suffered in the Ji family faded away. She said,
"I know you mean well to stand up for me, and perhaps you really do have the ability to do so, but I have other plans. To tell you the truth, I made a request to the Ji family. I want to take this chance to get my mother out of the Ji family. That's the most important thing. "
If it wasn't for this condition, she wouldn't have followed the wishes of the Ji family no matter what she said.
If she kept Aunt Cui in the Ji family, she would always have a rope around her neck that she couldn't act rashly. If she had to break it this time, she had to do it cleanly.
Come to think of it, this might be an opportunity that Ji Xingxuan deserved. Qing Zheng didn't teach her the Six Recombinant Demon Lines, but she still wanted to learn it. Today, he had given her an advantage. In the future, he would make her pay double.
To Yu Shu, the Six Yao Lines was just to make up for the missing parts of the eight characters. It wasn't of much use. Her real trump card was the law of algebra that had yet to be developed.
When she thought of this, Yu Shu couldn't help thinking. She had perfected the law of clear rain and the law of time of calamity day by day, so it was time for her to ponder and come up with a new law.
When Xue Rui heard Yu Shu's words, he was instantly surprised. He thought that she wouldn't be able to hold back her anger, but in reality, she was even calmer than him.
Because of Yu Shu's attitude, Xue Rui couldn't help sinking his breath and pondering a little more. Thinking about it, it made sense. He didn't care about the threat of the Ji family, but Yu Shu couldn't. He was the eldest grandson of the Xue family and the nephew of Imperial Consort Xue. He had a wide network of friends, so even the princes and royal descendants had to give him face.
But that was his face. He was willing to protect her, but she still had to think about what she was relying on and what she wanted. She couldn't be fearless just because he was willing to help her. How could she do such a brainless thing?
When Yu Shu saw that Xue Rui was distracted, she knew that he was still thinking about how to help her. It would be nonsense to say that she wasn't touched. It wasn't the first time that she made Xue Rui worry about her matters. No matter how thick her skin was, she couldn't bear it. She couldn't help but feel guilty. She suddenly thought about the night before he left the capital to bid farewell to her, and the words she said when she rejected him. At this moment, facing Xue Rui, she only felt uncomfortable all over.
"Ahem."
When Xue Rui heard Yu Shu clearing her throat, he came back to his senses. He didn't notice the change in her mind and asked,
"Did you forget something when you made this decision?"
Yu Shu said, "What did I forget?"
Xue Rui sneered and said, "Did you forget that you signed a contract with me? You have to stay in my Wangji Tower before the Dayan results are released. Now you are going to the Ji family to teach Ji Xingxuan's strange skill. Who will manage the restaurant?"
Yu Shu was stunned, and then she blushed. She secretly cursed, "Damn Ji Xingxuan's grandfather, I really forgot about this matter."
Seeing her expression, Xue Rui understood in his heart. He snorted and didn't say anything.
Knowing that she was in the wrong, Yu Shu scratched her neck and hurriedly poured tea for him. She apologized, "Brother Xue, don't be angry with me. I didn't forget on purpose. How about this, I will stay at the Li family's house in the morning to teach Ji Xingxuan's strange skill. In the afternoon, I will go to the restaurant to help. It's a win-win situation."
Xue Rui looked at the tea she respectfully held in front of him. He had never seen her flattering him before. It was very fresh. He felt that in the future, he couldn't blindly follow her temper. He deliberately didn't smile at her and didn't take the tea. He just talked to her expressionlessly,
"I don't care if you go back and forth like this. Anyway, you don't need to go to the Wangji Tower every day. But will the Ji family allow you to disappear every day? How about this, tomorrow when you are ready, wait for me at home. I will wake up early and personally send you to the Ji mansion. I will let them know that you still have a big brother behind you. You can't be bullied by anyone. "
When Yu Shu heard him say this, her mind went blank, and she was muddle-headed. Xue Rui still wanted to stand up for her, this was something she understood, but what did he mean by 'Big Brother'?
Xue Rui saw her every move. He knew that she was confused, so he took the tea in her hand and said seriously,
"When you were sick before the New Year, didn't I say that I would talk to you after the Great Yan Test? I have been busy recently and didn't have time to talk to you. Do you still remember what you said when I went to Huixing Street to find you the night before the exam? "
Yu Shu never thought that he would suddenly mention this. She hesitated for a moment and then said slowly, "I remember."
At that time, because she'd noticed that Xue Rui had other intentions towards her, she'd told him to stop wasting his time, and she'd even said that she had someone she liked, so she wanted to stop him from having any thoughts about her so that it wouldn't be difficult to deal with him in the future. Who knew that so many things would happen later on, and he'd never given her a reply. Up until now, she wasn't sure if he'd actually stopped having any thoughts about her.
Xue Rui took a sip of tea and said indifferently, "You don't have to guess. You guessed it right. I did have feelings for you at that time, but before I could open my mouth, you rejected me. Later, I thought about it and felt that it was meaningless. You have known me for so long, you should understand my character. Am I the kind of person who can't let go?"
Yu Shu shook her head. She knew a little about Xue Rui's character, and he really didn't have that kind of pettiness. No matter what he did, he did it in a grand manner. He didn't bear grudges, and he didn't take it seriously. Otherwise, he wouldn't still be in contact with her until now. He should have been angry because of those words she said a long time ago.
Xue Rui continued, "Since you don't have any intentions towards me, I don't have the intention to force you either. However, I admire your conduct and conduct, so I'm not willing to cut off all ties with you just because of this and waste our friendship. I'm telling you everything clearly today because I don't want you to have any doubts in your heart and think that I'm plotting something against you. I know that you don't have an elder brother. This time, if you can let go of your grudge and call me elder brother again, I will recognize you as my younger sister. From now on, we will be brother and sister and won't be suspicious of each other. "
Yu Shu was stunned by his words. She thought that she heard it wrong. She couldn't believe that the trouble she had been worrying about for so many days was solved just like that.
Yu Shu wasn't in a hurry to answer. She carefully observed Xue Rui's expression, and when she saw that his expression was calm and didn't seem to be fake, she pondered over his words twice and felt that there was nothing wrong with it, so she immediately believed half of it. If he was lying to her, then why bother?
When she thought about it more deeply, she realized that she and Xue Rui did not have any true feelings for each other. They were also not like the feelings she and Jing Chen had for each other every day. Even if Xue Rui was interested in her at that time, he was still too far away to reach the level of deep feelings. It was not difficult for him to say that he wanted to let it go.
Everything should be left with an inch of doubt. Only if it was 80% true would it be believable.
Yu Shu made up her mind. She felt like a heavy weight fell back to her heart. Then she heard Xue Rui asked,
"What? You still don't want to?"
"Yes." Yu Shu's face was glowing. She nodded heavily and grinned, "Brother."
Xue Rui raised his thick eyebrows and restrained the shortsightedness in his eyes. He curled the corners of his mouth and showed a very natural and unrestrained smile. He poured another cup of tea from the table and handed it to her. He raised the cup and said,
"There's tea instead of wine. Don't worry about the red tape. If you have any difficulties in the future, just tell me. I won't be polite to you."
Yu Shu's eyes lit up. She clinked the cup with his and drank it up with a smile. At this time, she felt carefree and the previous depression was swept away. She respected Xue Rui's character and was grateful to him. She really didn't want to be on bad terms with him. It couldn't be better that they could call each other brother and sister.
After the conversation, the atmosphere in the carriage became relaxed. Xue Rui even mentioned that he would help her find Jing Chen. He comforted her not to be anxious and told her that he would inform her if there was any news.
They arrived at the door of Zhao Hui's house. Lao Chui stopped the carriage. Before Yu Shu got off the carriage, Xue Rui told her to wait at home tomorrow morning.
Yu Shu was also worried that the Ji family would restrict her freedom these days and she couldn't work in the Wangji Building. So she simply agreed and asked Lao Chui to go to the Wangji Building for her tomorrow.
Xue Rui leaned against the window rail and watched Yu Shu enter the door. He caressed the corners of his lips with his fingers and smiled in a profound manner. He gave an order in a happy mood.
