Chapter 107 Brother and sister work together
Chu Qianyu watched the two of them with great interest, including the moment when Chu Xiaozhu asked the maid to secretly pass a piece of paper to Ye Qingyan. It was really too naive to try to do something under her nose.
Without waiting for Ye Qingyan to speak, Chu Qianyu looked at Chu Xiaozhu and said, "What are you doing here today? Aren't you here to attend Miss Ye's poetry reading? She invited you."
Chu Xiaozhu's face froze when she heard this. Just when she didn't know how to respond, she heard Ye Qingyan say, "Although I didn't invite the Chu sisters originally, I now feel that Miss Chu is very pleasing to my eyes. So I will invite her to attend my poetry meeting now."
"Oh?" Chu Qianyu approached Ye Qingyan, then leaned over and whispered in her ear, "Is that all you have?"
Chu Qianyu now felt that she had really overestimated her yesterday, and thought there would be some way out. In the end, she just made a fool of herself in front of the door.
If I had known this would happen I wouldn’t have come.
Before Ye Qingyan could speak, she heard a slightly heroic voice coming from behind her, which was very different from that of an ordinary girl in the boudoir.
"flourishing."
Chu Qianyu smiled and walked past Ye Qingyan towards Situ Yue. He took her arm and said, "You are here. I wanted to go into the document room just now, but the servant at the door said there was Situ's token. I took it out, but they didn't believe it. So I sent someone to invite your people, but I didn't expect you to come too."
"I happened to be in the mansion. I heard that you had something to ask me, so I came here."
When the people standing by saw this scene, they opened their mouths wide, not knowing what to say.
This person is the youngest patriarch of the Situ clan over the years. How could he know Miss Chu?
How could the token that person just took out be fake?
Ye Qingyan was also a little stunned at this time. She originally wanted to embarrass Chu Qianyu, but she didn't expect that she actually knew the Situ clan leader. No wonder she said that about herself just now, it turned out that she had already kept a backup plan.
But Chu Xiaozhu, who was standing by, was so jealous when she saw this scene that she stepped forward without thinking and asked, "When did you meet Patriarch Situ? How come I didn't know anything about it?"
When Chu Qianyu heard this, she didn't even look at her, let alone intend to reply to her.
Situ Yue said to Ye Qingyan, "Did you organize the poetry gathering?"
Ye Qingyan heard someone asking her a question and quickly said, "It's me."
"Well, since you don't get along with Qianqian, you will not be welcome in the Document Pavilion in the future." After saying that, he pulled Chu Qianyu directly into the Document Pavilion.
He said to the shopkeeper beside him, "Miss Chu, whenever you come here from now on, it will be like I am here in person. Also, please ask all those people that Miss Ye invited to attend the poetry reading today to leave. Miss Ye will not be allowed to hold poetry readings here in the future."
The shopkeeper agreed quickly. How could he not be terrified when the Situ clan leader, who seldom showed up, showed up today?
Then he hurried down to make arrangements and asked the servants to invite all the people Ye Qingyan had invited today out one by one.
Ling Yanran and a group of other noble ladies were originally sitting inside watching the play, but they didn't expect that the poetry gathering would be cancelled and they were even kicked out.
"How does Chu Qianyu know Patriarch Situ?" Ling Yanran looked at Li Qingle beside her and asked puzzledly.
Li Qingle shook his head: "I've never heard of it before, let's go out first."
Several people walked out together, nodded to Ye Qingyan, and then walked towards their own carriages.
They didn’t see Chu Qianyu making a fool of herself, but now the situation is the opposite, with everyone looking depressed and drooping their faces.
Ye Qingyan stood outside and watched the people coming out. Her face turned pale with anger, but she didn't dare to say anything. Although the Situ family didn't often go out, they were well-known. Who would dare to offend them? Moreover, the one who came today was the head of the Situ family.
Her chest was heaving violently, and she was obviously very angry.
"Let Ye Qingyan come in, I have something to say." Chu Qianyu said to Situ Yue.
"Okay." After Situ Yue agreed, she said to Ye Qingyan who was still in a daze outside, "Come in!"
"Ah?" Ye Qingyan felt that she was still in a daze. Suddenly, she heard the Situ clan leader asking her to come in, and she unconsciously raised her feet and walked forward.
By the time he realized what was happening, he had already stepped one foot into the document room. The remaining foot was suspended in mid-air, not knowing whether to go in or not.
"What are you standing there for? Come in!" Situ Yue said coldly, and then she and Chu Qianyu turned around and went upstairs together.
The shopkeeper stepped forward and made a gesture of invitation, saying, "Please come in, Miss Ye. Don't keep Patriarch Situ waiting."
Ye Qingyan raised her head and glanced at the stairs, knowing that if she went up, Patriarch Situ would definitely ask for an explanation for how she had just embarrassed Chu Qianyu.
After a brief thought, she walked in. The maid behind her was about to follow her in, but was stopped outside by the shopkeeper who said, "Patriarch Situ only allowed Miss Ye to go, so you should wait outside." After saying that, he looked at Ye Qingyan and asked, "What do you think, Miss Ye?"
"Yes, the shopkeeper is right." Ye Qingyan said to the two people behind her: "You wait here."
After saying that, he walked upstairs.
At this time, Huai Ce was standing downstairs and began to evacuate the crowd. Seeing this, the people did not dare to say much and they all dispersed.
Chu Xiaozhu stood outside the door, looking upstairs with hatred. She didn't know how this Chu Qianyu knew the leader of the Situ clan. Today, she let her show off her power.
She was sulking when she suddenly heard someone calling her.
Turning in the direction of the voice, she saw Chu Yutao crouching in the alley, waving at her.
Seeing this, Chu Xiaozhu quickly stepped forward and asked, "Brother, why are you here?"
Chu Yutao pulled the man into the alley and whispered, "You should find a way to make your carriage break down, and then take Chu Qianyu's carriage back. Don't leave a carriage for her."
"Why, brother, what are you going to do?" Chu Xiaozhu asked puzzled when he heard this.
"Don't ask so many questions. You just need to know that we must work together now and not let Chu Qianyu marry the Regent. Otherwise, we will have even less say in the mansion in the future."
Chu Xiaozhu felt that what Chu Yutao said made sense, but when she remembered that Patriarch Situ was also there, she looked at him with some worry and said, "Brother, Patriarch Situ is here too. I'm afraid it will be difficult to do it."
Chu Yutao snorted coldly and said, "Humph! Don't worry about these. I have my own way."
"Alright, go quickly. It will be difficult to handle her when she comes out."
After saying this, he took out a dagger from his waist and handed it to her, saying: "Take it, the rest is up to you."
Chu Xiaozhu was still a little nervous, and she didn't know why she always felt a little uneasy. She looked at Chu Yutao's determined eyes again, and then she felt a little more at ease. So she nodded, took the dagger, turned around and walked towards the carriage.
He stopped beside her carriage, and after thinking for a long time, he walked towards Chu Qianyu's carriage. While no one was paying attention, he used his sleeve to block the dagger, raised his hand and stabbed it directly into the horse's butt. Then he quickly withdrew his hand.
Without waiting for her to step back, the horse went crazy and ran towards the crowd in front. Fortunately, Huai Ce reacted quickly. Seeing that something was wrong with the horse, he immediately pulled the reins to control the horse and began to calm it down.
Fortunately, the horse did not run far, so no one was hurt.
Only the coachman who was originally sitting in the carriage turned pale with fright.
When the horse gradually calmed down and was no longer as irritable as before, he turned over and saw that the horse had been stabbed in the back of its butt.
