No matter how hard Wu Yali tried to tease her, Zhu Xiangyi remained silent in response.
Wu Yali's face suddenly changed slightly, and she asked Zhu Xiangyi: "You insist on going out. Could it be that you want to have a private meeting with that young lady named Qiao?"
Zhu Xiangyi also changed his expression and denied it flatly: "No. Don't use such speculation to damage the reputation of others."
Wu Yali's face looked even worse.
She discovered that whenever she mentioned the person named Qiao, Zhu Xiangyi's reaction would always be more intense.
But she did not choose to confront him head-on. Instead, she smiled and said in a coaxing tone: "Okay Zhu Lang, I know you are not, I was just joking - the young lady named Qiao just now is
I came here with the third young master of the Wu family, it seems they have a close relationship."
Zhu Xiangyi's face became a little gloomier and he said nothing.
Wu Yali took the opportunity to scold the maid again: "Are you stupid, one by one?... Your future uncle has been tired for a few days, why don't you hurry up and prepare hot water and a change of clothes?!"
The clever maid immediately responded: "Yes, I will go and prepare now."
After saying that, without giving Zhu Xiangyi time to react, he immediately turned around and trotted away.
Zhu Xiangyi hesitated for a while, but finally acquiesced to stay.
Wu Yali smiled and asked someone to take Zhu Xiangyi to the guest room.
But after Zhu Xiangyi left, the smile on her face suddenly dropped, her eyes were a bit angry, and she didn't know what she was thinking.
…
Qiao Huaping and Uncle Kun Wu Yourong left the Wu Mansion. Along the way, Wu Yourong hesitated to speak.
Qiao Huaping looked amused: "What do you want to say? Just say it."
Wu Yourong said awkwardly: "Is this the end of the matter?"
"Otherwise?" Qiao Huaping asked, smiling, "Dr. Zhu and I are from the same village. Why should I care so much about others? He just chooses his own path and walks on his own. Knowing that he is not in danger, I can follow the villagers
Accounted for."
Wu Yourong was inexplicably happy with Qiao Huaping's attitude.
He suppressed the corner of his mouth and asked Qiao Huaping cheerfully: "...Miss Qiao, it's getting late. I know there is a small restaurant that cooks delicious food. How about we go have a meal together?"
Wu Yourong was afraid that Qiao Huaping would not agree, so he quickly straddled Uncle Kun's arm and pulled him along: "Uncle Kun, are you leaving?"
Uncle Kun could say no and agreed with a smile.
Qiao Huaping naturally responded.
The small restaurant recommended by Wu Yourong was delicious. Qiao Huaping had been busy for a long time and was very hungry. After a bowl of hot soup, she felt a lot tired.
But when the meal was almost over, Qiao Huaping made an excuse to leave for a while, and went to the counter to settle the bill.
When the three of them had finished eating and were about to leave, Uncle Kun went to pay the bill. When they heard the person at the counter saying that the lady over there had already paid, Uncle Kun and Wu Yourong were shocked.
Qiao Huaping obviously didn't take it seriously. He just waved his hand casually: "I can't ask you to work with me for so long, and I still want you to treat me to dinner, right?"
Uncle Kun laughed and sighed: "Ms. Qiao, you..."
Wu Yourong's eyes looked a little brighter when he looked at Qiao Huaping.
After dinner, Wu Yourong became concerned about Qiao Huaping's residence again.
Qiao Huaping pointed to the inn sign hanging a few feet outside the door: "Isn't there an inn there? It's only about one night. But my horse is still at the stables of the Good Doctor Hall, so I will lend it to you for the time being.
, let it stay there all night.”
Wu Yourong's chest beat loudly: "Okay, Miss Qiao, just don't worry. There will be enough fodder and water!"
Qiao painted the screen and laughed.
No, Master Wu San's words sound a bit like fodder and water are what she wants to eat.
Uncle Kun and Wu Yourong took Qiao Huaping into the inn, watched Qiao Huaping open the room, and then left.
However, Wu Yourong happily wanted to say goodbye to Uncle Kun. When he went back to Wu's mansion, Uncle Kun took Wu Yourong's arm and lowered his voice: "Third Young Master, I have to give you some instructions."
Wu Yourong said "Hi": "Uncle Kun, tell me directly about our relationship, how can we use such foreshadowing?"
Uncle Kun looked at Wu Yourong who looked energetic, hesitant and unbearable.
But he had to say this.
Uncle Kun sighed, but said in a low voice: "...The old man will definitely not agree to you and Madam Qiao. I heard that Madam is seeing a girl for the young master recently. If there is something going on there,
If something goes wrong, the old lady is naturally reluctant to blame the young master, but no matter what, the debt will be recorded on Madam Qiao."
Wu Yourong's expression changed.
He naturally knew that Uncle Kun said this for the good of him and Miss Qiao.
But these words also ruthlessly exposed some of his self-righteous evasion mentality, and he felt really uncomfortable for a moment.
At the beginning of the lanterns, Uncle Kun stood in the street lights, looking at Wu Yourong, whose face was shrouded in shadows, he felt very distressed.
Wu Yourong stood there digesting it for a long time before showing a forced smile: "...Uncle Kun, don't worry. I know."
Uncle Kun said distressedly: "I know our third young master is the most sensible."
"I'm going back." Wu Yourong forced a smile and walked away with heavy steps.
Uncle Kun stood there, watching Wu Yourong disappear at the corner of the street with the boy, then he sighed silently, turned around and left.
As soon as Wu Yourong arrived at the Wu Mansion, he heard a message from the maid saying that Mrs. Wu had been looking for him all afternoon.
Wu Yourong wiped his face, cheered up, and went to his mother's house.
When his mother saw Wu Yourong, she came up to him and said with concern: "Look at this little face with a cold face. Where did he go to play again?"
Wu Yourong said: "There was a funeral at the home of one of my former classmates. I took Uncle Kun there to pay tribute... If you don't talk about this, mother, what do you want to do with me?"
Speaking of this, Mrs. Wu became very happy again: "Oh, mother has found a good marriage for you -"
Mrs. Wu talked so much about how wonderful that girl was that she made an appointment to invite the mother and daughter over for tea in three days so that they could meet her.
The old god Wu Yourong was there and he agreed casually.
Outside the window, the moonlight is cold and cold.
Qiao Huaping looked at the moon for a while and then closed the door.
The Chinese New Year is coming soon, so she should worry about what to buy for the New Year!
