"It's just a pity that my eldest sister thinks that I have a low status and doesn't like me very much. I don't have any hope anymore. I just hope that I can have other sisters to accompany me."

Jing Yu has already made his decision.

The two pastries, which are identical except for the taste, are not just hinting to themselves that Qi Lingying and Qi Lingyao are not that big of a difference in their cooperation with the Qi family.

And now, the confession of longing for sisters is also a disguised statement that she will treat Qianxue favorably and treat her as a sister. After all, in Qi Lingyao's eyes, she, Qi Lingying, is just a despicable person.

Under Qi Lingying's gaze, Jing Yu finally raised a smile on his lips, then took out the hairpin from his sleeve and handed it over.

She didn't answer just now because the terms between the two parties were not clearly negotiated.

Now, having said that, this hairpin can be regarded as some kind of tacit contract.

"On the day of the Fourth Prince's banquet, I would like to thank Miss Qi Liu for testifying for my maid. I have prepared a special gift to express my gratitude."

Qi Lingying lowered her eyes slightly, feeling amused in her heart. Even at this point, Jing Yu still wanted to raise the hand of the maid in front of her. She was really affectionate.

But for a moment, her eyes were like water, she raised her hand to take the hairpin, and her words were very considerate.

"Master Jing, what are you talking about? People like Miss Qian will definitely not be able to do those evil things. I just did what I should do, and I don't deserve this thanks."

"Miss Qi Liu, please don't be humble. People in the world can distinguish right from wrong. How many people are willing to stand up? You deserve this gift."

Jing Yu gave a weak push, and Qi Lingying put the hairpin away.

Seeing that the matter was settled, Jing Yu thought about going back to pick up Qian Xue.

Seeing that he was leaving, Qi Lingying stood up and prepared to see him off, but Jing Yu stopped.

"I had a good chat with Miss Qi Liu today. I also like the taste of this tea. I wonder if I can give some as a gift. I want to take it back and give it to my maid."

Qi Lingying's expression remained unchanged, she turned around and asked Sizhu to get some more tea and wrap it for Jing Yu.

The sky, which had always been dull, finally started to rain at this moment after several thunders.

Qianxue had already taken the measurements and selected the materials, and was waiting in the booth of Cloth Shop for Jing Yu to pick her up.

The rain poured down, and everyone on the road looked for shelter from the rain. After a while, the whole street seemed much empty.

A gust of autumn wind swept by, and Qian Xue shivered in the cold at the window, but she never saw Jing Yu's carriage appear.

She closed the window with some frustration and rubbed the already cool tea cup.

The Cloth Village, which was still crowded just now, became deserted as the heavy rain fell and everyone rushed home.

The waiter in the shop was doing nothing. Seeing that Qian Xue hadn't left yet, he started talking to her.

"Girl, it's getting dark now and it's raining so hard. Why don't you go back?"

Qianxue looked up and saw that the waiter in the shop had no ill intentions, just pure curiosity.

"My young master asked me to wait for him here." Her voice was so soft that it was almost completely covered up by the sound of the heavy rain.

The waiter in the shop didn't quite hear her words clearly, but looking at her appearance, he already felt in his heart that this girl's character would probably be bullied if no one protected her.

He couldn't help but sigh, feeling that being a servant of a wealthy family was actually not a good job.

"Your young master has a carriage and a groom, so he can't lose it. Why are you wasting your time here? It's raining so hard, maybe your young master has already arrived home?"

Qian Xue pursed her lips and did not answer the waiter's words. She just shook her head firmly, not believing that Jing Yu would leave her here alone. Seeing that it didn't make sense, the waiter wandered off to sort out the fabrics again.

After a while, the owner of Cloth Shop came out from behind and said to the waiter: "Even if the rain stops, no one will come to the store at this hour. I'll leave first. You should pack up and go back early."

After the cloth shop owner finished speaking, he returned to the backyard and drove away after a while.

Qianxue looked at the already cold tea, her fingers tightening.

The waiter came over again, "Girl, I'm really sorry, we are closing, you..."

Qianxue stood up quickly and said, "I won't delay you from closing the door. Just let me stay for a while."

The waiter scratched his head, but he didn't have the heart to drive her away to prepare for closing.

Even when the waiter was about to lock the door, Jing Yu still didn't come. Qian Xue blushed and didn't dare to disturb the store anymore, so she quickly left the shop.

"Girl, girl, wait!"

Qian Xue turned around and watched the waiter in the store take out an umbrella, "Take this umbrella first. Just bring it back when you come to pick up your clothes."

Qianxue took the umbrella and hurriedly got the money to buy it.

But the waiter waved his hand, "No, no, we are all poor people, it's just a convenient thing. I really want to thank me. I wish you could take care of our business more in the future."

After saying that, the waiter returned to the store, and soon he came out with an umbrella and quickly disappeared into the rain.

Qian Xue paced back and forth at the entrance of Buzhuang, unable to stop worrying about Jing Yu, fearing that the road would be slippery on a rainy day and the carriage would be in an accident.

A gust of cold wind blew, bringing rain down on Qianxue. Qianxue hugged her arms and planned to look for Jing Yu in the direction the carriage left.

She was told to do nothing and wait here all the time, which made her really uneasy.

After walking in the direction of Jing Yu's carriage, the rain that kept falling and the water on the street had soaked Qian Xue's entire body except her head.

Her whole body was shivering from the cold under the combined effects of the rain and the cold wind.

She didn't know how long she had been walking. When she saw a small shop in front of her that could accommodate one person, she walked over without hesitation.

There was a ceiling above her head, and the walls on both sides protruded a little more than other places, reducing the coldness of the rain hitting her body.

She closed her umbrella and could finally take a breath.

She stamped her feet, rubbing her arms back and forth to generate heat, and looking around.

All the shops in the surrounding neighborhood were closed, except for one shop diagonally opposite that was still lit.

She followed the light, and the originally closed window on the second floor was opened. First, a fair and slender hand was revealed from inside, and soon a face with a beautiful face but an unearthly temperament appeared at the window.

Qianxue was stunned. This seemed to be Miss Qi Liu?

The next moment, an equally handsome and charming man appeared in front of the window. The two looked at the gurgling rain, and then looked at each other and smiled.

Qianxue felt as if her whole body was frozen. That handsome face was none other than her own young master!

While waiting for Sizhu to get tea, it suddenly started raining heavily outside the house.
