Chapter 325 The Young Master is a Simple and Kind Person
After glancing at the woman and then looking at Xiu'er who was kneeling on the ground, Ah Sheng suddenly realized that the mother and daughter were coming for his young master.
He frowned unhappily, and his tone turned cold: "In that case, please do as you please, young lady."
After saying that, he flicked his sleeves and strode away.
Seeing this, the rich young man understood that this woman was very generous and looked down on him, using him as a stepping stone to climb to a higher position.
"Oh, young lady, you are really good at scheming. Today, it's my fault for being short-sighted that I didn't see that it was a white lotus with hidden poisonous thorns." Fu glanced at Xiu'er coldly with a sarcastic smile on his face.
Xiu'er, who was still kneeling on the ground, bit her lower lip lightly, her drooping eyelashes casting a shadow on her face, and her voice was as thin as a mosquito: "Xiu'er doesn't know what the young master is talking about..."
The rich young man looked down at Xiu'er for a moment, then suddenly sneered, opened the folding fan in his hand with a "swish", turned around and left, leaving the confused onlookers looking at each other in bewilderment.
After watching this wonderful show with Qinghe and Qingzhi, Lin Shuyue turned around and went into the restaurant opposite in a very good mood.
In order to watch this exciting show, they haven't even had lunch yet.
They found a seat against the wall and sat down. After ordering the dishes, Qinghe and Qingzhi discussed the excitement that had just happened.
"I really didn't expect this. At the beginning, I felt sorry for her and even wanted to use the money I saved to redeem her. Who could have thought... Alas..." Qingzhi sighed, feeling depressed for having made a mistake.
Qing He also had an expression that was hard to describe: "That young master clearly had no intention of forcing her to marry him, but she said those words in public, which led to misunderstandings."
"Speaking of which, is it true that she was sold to a gambling den by her father? Could it be that she acted out this act just to get closer to the guy upstairs?"
Seeing that the two girls were still thinking about this matter, Lin Shuyue kindly helped them to solve the problem.
"Those burly guys in the gambling house were watching Xiu'er's movements the entire time. You might not have noticed, but when they were arresting people, they were obviously cautious and slow.
Furthermore, when the blue-robed scholar first stepped forward, Xiu'er's reaction was too flat and inconsistent with common sense."
She took a sip of tea and continued, "Besides that, before Xiu'er said that, which would cause everyone to misunderstand the rich young man, I noticed the woman behind her secretly tugged at her sleeve. I guess she was reminding her that the young man upstairs had appeared, which is why Xiu'er suddenly changed her attitude."
"Hiss, then it seems like this is a trap, set specifically for the guy upstairs."
Qingzhi took a breath in disbelief, then put a hand to her mouth and said in a low voice, "Then the person upstairs has become a victim? He was tricked and spent money."
"However, her acting is really good. Her tears just come out of nowhere and it makes people feel heartbroken."
Lin Shuyue put down the teacup, shook her head and laughed, "Alright, stop thinking about it. I've told you all this because I want you to observe more, listen more, and not jump to conclusions when you encounter problems in the future."
Just at this moment, the waiter started to serve the dishes to their table, and the three of them stopped talking and started to concentrate on eating.
At this time, Su Jinxiao, the victim they called "the one who got taken advantage of" upstairs, fell into deep thought after hearing what Ah Sheng said.
"Young...Young Master?" A Sheng spoke cautiously.
"Hmm?" Su Jinxiao raised his eyelids slightly and glanced at him gloomily.
After a while, Su Jinxiao suddenly asked Ah Sheng, "Ah Sheng, in your heart, what kind of person am I, your young master?"
"what?"
When A Sheng heard this question, he was confused for a moment.
Seeing his young master staring at him intently, he considered, "Is the young master a simple and kind person?"
Su Jinxiao: ...
"You might as well just say I'm a sucker."
Ah Sheng scratched his head awkwardly, "Master, that's not what I meant. I'm kind-hearted, but that mother and daughter are too calculating."
When mentioning the mother and daughter, Su Jinxiao stood up and walked to the window.
Xiu'er was still kneeling there, about to fall down, looking very pitiful.
"I can't swallow this. Ah Sheng, let Xu Feng and Zhu Ying investigate and find out what's going on with this woman. They dared to plot against me, and I'll make sure they pay for it."
A hint of coldness flashed in Su Jinxiao's eyes.
"Yes, young master." Ah Sheng took the order and left.
Downstairs, Zhao Xiuer suddenly felt a panic in her heart. This inexplicable anxiety made her ignore the pain in her knees.
She subconsciously looked up and met Su Jinxiao's cold gaze.
Zhao Xiuer's heart trembled and she quickly lowered her head, but the feeling of uneasiness became stronger.
After lunch, Lin Shuyue slowly walked out of the restaurant with Qinghe and Qingzhi.
When they reached the door, they happened to meet Su Jinxiao's servant A Sheng leading Zhao Xiuer, who looked excited and happy. Behind the three of them were two young men in tight clothes.
Lin Shuyue took a glance and thought to herself: There will be a sequel to this excitement, but it’s a pity that I can’t see it.
Two days passed in a flash.
In the past two days, Hu Sanzeng brought Lian Bao here, wanting to invite Lin Shuyue and the other two to go on the journey together.
Lin Shuyue politely declined Hu San's offer. Firstly, most of their luggage was in the space, which was inconvenient. Secondly, traveling with a caravan was far less free than traveling alone.
On the second day after Hu San and others set off, Lin Shuyue checked out of the room, and the three of them, master and servant, set off again.
As the carriage left the city gate, the creaking of the shaft was suddenly interrupted by the sound of galloping horses.
Just as the smoke and dust rose, a group of figures came closer and closer. Upon closer inspection, it turned out that it was County Magistrate Chen's bandit suppression team that had returned.
The leader was the magistrate Chen Huai, the man who went up the mountain to suppress the bandits that day, and his followers. Hundreds of yamen runners escorted a group of disheveled bandits following behind them.
They all looked a little disheveled and exhausted, obviously having gone through another night of fierce fighting.
After the bandit suppression team rushed into the city, the people queuing at the city gate began to whisper and talk.
An old man carrying a load held up three fingers, "The third nest! This is the third nest that Master Chen has taken down!"
"At this rate, the bandits on Lion Mountain will be wiped out in a few days, and we in Yi'an County can finally live a peaceful life." The people nearby exclaimed in admiration.
"Master Chen is a rare good official..."
For a while, similar exclamations could be heard at the city gate.
In this world, there are very few officials who can do practical things for the people. Lin Shuyue also has more respect for County Magistrate Chen.
After entering the official road, the carriage sped up.
The sky in August is like a baby's face, changing at any time. It was scorching hot in the morning, but in the afternoon it was covered with dark clouds, covering the sky above.
The carriage was traveling on a deserted mountain road, with no place to hide from the rain.
Qingzhi had no choice but to tighten the reins in her hand to urge the horse to speed up.
