Chapter 170 Kerosene Lamp and Parents' Shortcomings(2/2)
Xiuju also arrived at Jiao's house as promised.
Since Xiangling was called by Ying'er to help with the knotting, it was naturally Yu Chuan'er who came to receive her this time.
Xiuju was not familiar with her, so she was careful in her words and deeds.
But even so, Yu Chuan'er has already gained some insights.
After all, they were all hanging out in the same place. Although Jiao Shun deliberately avoided him every time he ordered Xiang Ling, how could he completely isolate the clues?
What's more, the exchanges between the two sides have become too frequent recently.
Regarding the fact that Yingchun was very likely to become his mistress, Yuchuan'er was half happy and half sad. What was happy was that Yingchun was dull and timid, so she was definitely not a strong mistress.
What worries me is that the King of Hell is so easy to deal with. Siqi is notoriously difficult to offend among the maids in the Rongguo Mansion. Even Qingwen, who has always been sharp-tongued, has suffered from her, and even more so.
Don't talk about others.
If they were to compete head-on, even if they tied two jade bracelets together, they would not be her match!
Fortunately, I still have the advantage of being 'first in line'. I have been in close contact with my uncle all day long. Is it possible that I am still no match for her?
After giving herself a shot of cardiotonic, which reduced her three-point sadness to one point, Yu Chuan'er was just about to cheer up and start a relationship with Xiu Ju, when she didn't want to hear footsteps outside, and then Jiao Shun walked in through the curtain.
"Huh?"
Seeing Xiuju sitting there, Jiao Shun raised his hand to untie the silk ribbon around his neck and asked: "Miss Xiuju, come here at this time, do you have something to give me?"
With that said, he took off his cloak and threw it to Yuchuan'er: "Go, take it to the inner room and bake it."
Yuchuan'er knew that the uncle was deliberately moving away from her, so she flattened her mouth with a sullen face, but she still held the big cloak obediently and hung it in front of the heating rack in the back room.
As soon as she left, the embroidered orange immediately came alive.
He walked forward with a smile and said: "Our second lady already knows about my uncle's kindness, but the girl is thin-skinned and refuses to open her mouth. Sister Siqi and I had no choice but to go through the motions and draw up this list."
As he said that, he handed the note to him with both hands.
Because she was familiar with it, Jiao Shun was honest and polite, holding her little hand and studying it.
Xiujiang's face was slightly red, but she didn't struggle. She pretended to be fine and continued: "This time when we moved back, my eldest wife not only didn't buy any extra luggage, but she also secretly packed some. Otherwise, I wouldn't have troubled my uncle to help."
As he spoke, Jiao Shun's claws crawled up to his chest.
Xiuju hurriedly pulled away and stepped back, covering her heart and saying shyly: "Sir, please be more respectful."
Jiao Shun chuckled and retracted the Lushan Claw, secretly saying that the feel of the hand was not bad, but it was just better than Cheese Chess...
At this time, he suddenly saw Xiuju bringing out another fifty taels of silver. Jiao Shun couldn't help but wonder, "What does this mean?"
Xiuju said sternly: "Although this silver was originally rewarded by my uncle, it seems a bit pretentious to take it here again, but Sister Siqi said that you can't be allowed to take money out again and again. Instead, let's hide this silver."
?”
In addition to having a hot temper, Siqi is very meticulous in his work.
Jiao Shun didn't hesitate, he took the money directly and asked smoothly: "Your sister Siqi always asks you to send messages, but why does she never come to see me?"
"Hehe~"
Xiuju covered her mouth with a smile and said narrowly: "It's a good thing that I'm here. If it were Sister Siqi who was as careless as Uncle Cai just now, I'm afraid she would have been torn apart by now!"
"She dares!"
