Chapter 68 Are you waiting to be laughed at?
  Jing Yu hummed and sat on a round stool not far away. Qian Xue's fingers were slightly cold, and she passed through the broken hair on his temples and combed them together carefully. She was not very dexterous in her movements. , touching his exposed skin from time to time, she slowly approached, and the fragrance of her body filled the tip of his nose, which was also mixed with the scent of incense that was commonly used in his bed.

Jing Yu couldn't help his throat rolling. The girl's body fragrance mixed with his own scent lingered on the tip of his nose. The girl's soft figure swayed back and forth in front of his eyes, adjusting the style of the jade crown and hairpin he wore. From time to time, she lowered her head and whispered, asking Wondering which one he liked more, the warm breath sprayed on his ears, bringing with him a strange emotion.

Jing Yu felt that his body temperature seemed to be slowly rising. He stood up suddenly and took the jade crown and hairpin from Qian Xue's hand.

"You'd better practice tying your hair. I'll do it myself today."

After saying that, she walked away. Qianxue hurriedly caught up with her coat, "Master, my servant will help you put on your coat."

Jing Yu didn't dare to look back at her, but just said dullly: "Put it there, I'll put it on in a while, and you go ask Nanny Li if she needs help."

Qianxue timidly answered "yes", but felt a little sad. She had only combed Madam's hair in Zhao's courtyard before, and had never learned how to tie men's hair. Today, she let the young master down.

She took two steps, then looked back at Jing Yu, and vowed: "I have never tied a man's hair before. I will practice it diligently in the future to satisfy the young master."

Jing Yu waved his hand to tell her to leave quickly, but he couldn't help but have a smile on his slightly red cheeks.

When Qianxue found Nanny Li, she saw a bowl of dark soup on the table. She couldn't help but frown. She knew what it was without even thinking about it. The taste was something she would never forget.

Aunt Li smiled and pushed the medicine over. Qianxue waved her hand and said, "Nothing happened between me and the young master last night."

But Grandma Li didn't believe it. At Jing Yu's age, he had other thoughts. She didn't believe that nothing happened. She just smiled and said, "Good boy, drink it. Don't make it difficult for me."

Qianxue saw the refusal in Nanny Li's eyes, and finally picked up the medicine and drank it in one gulp. She had already talked with her mother, and she didn't want to have children. She just thought the medicine was too unpleasant, so she naturally avoided it whenever she could.

Seeing Qianxue finish drinking the medicine, Grandma Li handed over a plate of candied fruit, "If you eat something sweet, you won't feel so uncomfortable."

Qianxue held the candied fruit, but she just twitched the corner of her mouth slightly.

In the afternoon, Mrs. Zhao sent someone over. Nongqin looked at Nanny Li and Qianxue who were sitting together doing work, and conveyed Ms. Zhao's instructions in a soft voice: "Mrs. Qi's family, the counselor of the General Affairs Department, and the eldest lady are coming to the house. I came here to pay a special visit to thank the eldest young master for his life-saving grace yesterday, and my wife specially sent a slave to call Qian Xue over."

Qianxue felt like she couldn't understand what was being said. Why was she called over when someone came to thank the young master?
  Aunt Li also asked: "Since you are here to see the eldest young master, why did you call Qianxue over?"

Nongqin shook his head and couldn't explain why, "I'm just here to convey Madam's instructions. I don't know why."

Qianxue stood up, looked at Aunt Li and said, "Young Master is not here, Madam has instructions, so you have to go no matter what. In addition, she is here to give a thank-you gift, and not a single person in our courtyard can accept the gift." No, it’s really rude.”

Grandma Li sighed softly and warned: "Be careful and don't make any mistakes."

Qian Xue nodded and followed Nong Qin towards Zhao's courtyard.

Nongqin glanced at Qianxue, with worry in her eyes that Qianxue couldn't understand. Qianxue wanted to ask something, but she turned her head away and said nothing. As the two of them walked into the house, they heard a burst of laughter. They seemed to be talking happily.

Qianxue saw the girl who was rescued yesterday at a glance, sitting aside with a smile and listening to the chat of her elders.

She lowered her head and didn't dare to look again, and then Zhao's voice came, "Come and pay homage to Mrs. Qi and Miss Qi."

Qianxue hurriedly saluted, while Mrs. Qi stopped smiling and asked with some confusion: "This is it?"

Zhao's tone was full of smiles as she greeted Qianxue and said, "He's from our brother Yu's backyard."

Zhao was not talking about the people in Jingyu's courtyard, but rather emphasized the word "backyard".

And Jing Yu hasn't gotten married yet, so it's almost obvious what Qian Xue's identity is.

For a moment, the happy scene fell into silence. Mrs. Qi and Qi Lingyao unanimously cast disgusted looks at Qian Xue.

Qianxue naturally felt the change in the atmosphere, but she could not do anything to Mrs. Zhao. She could only lower her head and reply softly: "This slave is just a maid serving the eldest young master."

After finishing her words, Qi Lingyao's gaze at her did not improve at all, still filled with disdain and disgust that could not be ignored.

Looking at this scene, Ms. Zhao felt a sense of joy in her heart, but it was not convenient for her to show it. She still looked at her virtuous and kind face and said to Mrs. Qi: "It's really an unlucky time. My brother Yu is in charge today. She hasn't come back for a while, so I called this girl here. You might as well talk to her so that she can take the message back."

Mrs. Qi's face was as dark as the bottom of a pot at this moment. She brought her daughter to the Jing Mansion to express her gratitude. It didn't matter that she couldn't see Jing Yu. But now she let such an unknown little girl come to meet them. It really put them in trouble. The Qi family pressed their faces to the ground and stepped on them.

"No need, we've also delivered this gift. Since the time is so unfortunate, we won't keep it any longer." Mrs. Qi gave a fake smile to Mrs. Zhao who was sitting beside her, and then turned to look at her daughter, " Yao'er, let's go."

Ms. Zhao chuckled, her tone still gentle: "Qianxue, send Mrs. Qi and Miss Qi out for me."

Qi Lingyao didn't want to leave like this. She was about to say a few more words, but Mrs. Qi stopped her with a look. She had to stand up, salute Mrs. Zhao, and then follow Mrs. Qi to leave.

After the two of them walked out of Zhao's courtyard, Qi Lingyao asked in a low voice: "Mom, why are we leaving now and haven't seen Mr. Jinglang yet?"

Mrs. Qi glanced at Qi Lingyao with a cold face, and her voice lost the gentleness of the past, "You silly girl, people have torn off our Qi family's face and trampled it on the ground. What are you still doing? Being looked at by them. What a joke!"

Qi Lingyao tugged on her mother's sleeves and asked anxiously in a low voice: "But why are they doing this..."

"We are here today not only to express our gratitude, but also to look after you. Look at Mrs. Zhao, doesn't she understand? Look at her, she just found something and made it clear that we should not do anything to ourselves. Passionate. If you really marry a mother-in-law like this, you will suffer."
