businesswoman's wife

No matter how much Xu Xiuyi and An Chengshao wanted to shield Su Jinyuan from their love, Su Jinyuan still came. After four days of non-stop, he arrived in Mianyang County in a rainy evening.

And Wu Mo arrived almost on the same day as Su Jinyuan.

Wu Mo was also quite surprised by Su Jinyuan's appearance. When Bai Jingqi invited everyone to dinner at night, her gaze stayed on An Chengshao's face for a long time, with a sense of helplessness in her eyes.

At the table, everyone was quiet, except Su Jinyuan.

"In the past few days, my wife has to take care of you, so I will do it first here as a respect."

He toasted, Bai Jingqi and the others stood up, Wu Mo slowed down a bit, but An Chengshao sat still, Xu Xiuyi felt pain in his heart, how cruel this was to An Chengshao.

"Boss An, why don't you sell my face?"

Su Jinyuan was quite dissatisfied with An Chengshao's attitude. He had already had a rift because he was a business rival. He thought that An Chengshao didn't give him face now because the two were business enemies.

An Chengshao didn't intend to give him face, so he sneered and got up: "I'm not feeling well, so I'm going back first."

His attitude is so indifferent, indifferent to the point of repelling people thousands of miles away, and there is an aura around him, as if no one can touch or approach him.

Seeing the back of him striding away, Xu Xiuyi felt pain in her heart.

Su Jinyuan didn't care about An Chengshao's arrogant attitude, but raised his glass and drank it up: "Then I will do it first as a respect."

As he spoke, he raised his glass and drank it all, and everyone also recovered from the episode just now, raised their heads and drank it all.

Satisfied with food and drink, they dispersed. Naturally, there was no need to make another arrangement for Su Jinyuan's room.

*

In the room, Su Jinyuan was a little drunk, and reached out to hug Xu Xiuyi who was laying the quilt, but Xu Xiuyi sideways avoided him, his arms were empty, and he looked at Xu Xiuyi with hurt eyes.

"Xiu Yi, I miss you very much."

Xu Xiuyi just smiled lightly: "You are also tired today, rest first, I will make you a cup of sober tea, so as not to get a headache tomorrow."

But he came over a few steps, before Xu Xiuyi had time to hide, she was completely taken into his arms, buried her head in her neck affectionately, rubbed gently, breathed in her fragrance vigorously through the nostrils: "It's so fragrant, my For a few days, I slept with your clothes in my arms every day, it was this fragrance."

Xu Xiuyi's body was stiff, and she wanted to get out, but he hugged her very tightly. Xu Xiuyi was hugged like a thorn, feeling uncomfortable all over, so she began to struggle hard.

Su Jinyuan's tenderness turned into every inch of sadness in Xu Xiuyi's struggle at this moment.

She is still resisting him, how long is she going to resist her, does she want him to use his drunkenness to forcefully attack her once again?

"Embroidery."

"Go to bed quickly, I'll go to the kitchen."

Xu Xiuyi didn't give him a chance to speak, turned around and left, the moment he opened the door, he heard him behind her, her tone lost: "Tell me the truth, you have been talking for half a month, and now it's been a month and you still haven't returned to Beijing, is it on purpose?" Avoid me, I'm here now, don't you want to see me at all?"

She turned her head, closed her eyes, took a deep breath, and finally made up her mind: "Yes."

She answered crisply, Su Jinyuan was completely defenseless, his heart was shattered in an instant, and the fists beside him were clenched tightly.

"You still won't forgive me after all, will you?"

No, at least Xu Xiuyi couldn't do anything to make An Chengshao sad, even if it was just a hug or a gentle look, she didn't want to accept it.

"You'd better go to bed early."

After Xu Xiuyi finished speaking, she turned around and left, leaving Su Jinyuan alone in the room with flushed eyes.

He travels tirelessly, non-stop, just because he misses her so much, he originally thought that she would be moved when he traveled thousands of miles in his busy schedule, even if he was not moved, he never thought it would be like this.

Filled with joy and enthusiasm, he carried a bucket of cold water on his head, and his heart was instantly icy cold.

Looking at the half-open door, he sat down on the chair slumped. How much crime did he commit for her to treat him like this?

Obviously the two of them have had physical contact and even had children, and she was willing to show him a little tenderness and a smile on occasion before, why now, she is alienated and rejected in every possible way, he thinks that as long as he waits, he will always be able to wait for her Forgive him thoroughly, but now it seems that this forgiveness seems to be far away.

He began to recall that night, she obviously did not resist, he seemed to have mistook her for Ji Hong at first, but then everything was so logical, he thought that if she was willing to dedicate herself to him, then she must accept him from the bottom of her heart of.

Could it be that he drank too much and misremembered, she didn't do it voluntarily that night, but was really forced by his overlord, but how does this explain her occasional tenderness and intimacy to him afterwards?

Probably because he drank a little too much wine, Su Jinyuan felt his head was heavy, staggered to the bedside, and fell down suddenly, his back was throbbing with pain, but he didn't notice it, his mind was full of Xu Xiuyi's decisive sentence "Yes ".

He couldn't help laughing at himself, he came all the way here, so he came here to exchange her for someone I don't want to see you.

Looking at the night outside, he left, tomorrow, since he didn't like to see him so much, then he just left.

*

After coming out of the room, the night is as cool as water, and after the Mid-Autumn Festival, the weather is no longer hot. It rained in the evening, and the bluestone floor was still wet. Under the plane tree beside the road, a few drops of rain fell, making it dim. Under the street lamp, Xu Xiuyi's thin back stood like a statue.

She didn't know how long she was going to stand here, she just knew that she didn't want to go back, she stood stupidly until the moon was three poles, and the night wind was cool, she shivered, her feet were a little numb, so she walked on the same spot for two He took a step, turned his head, and was startled. An Chengshao was not far behind him, and he didn't know how long he stood there.

Under the sycamore tree, he has long hair like a waterfall, wearing a blue-gray robe, a few strands of hair on his forehead are wet from the falling water on the sycamore tree, and his shoulders are also wet, obviously standing for a while.

"Cheng Shao."

She shouted, her tone was astringent, a little aggrieved.

An Chengshao stepped forward and gently took her into his arms.

She struggled: "It will be seen."

This is the yard of the Bai family.

An Chengshao insisted on not letting go: "I'm not afraid of anything, I'm only afraid that you don't want me."

His voice was hoarse, and his breath was full of alcohol. He drank, and drank a lot. Now he is holding her softly, without the arrogance of dinner, just like a child, begging: "Will you not want me?"

He probably drank too much, and he usually has soft moments, but never such soft and helpless moments.

The night was as cold as water, and his clothes were wet. She was afraid that he might be illuminated, so she patted his back lightly: "I'll take you back to your room."

"En!" He replied, with half of his body leaning against Xu Xiuyi's arms.

Xu Xiuyi helped him, he was very heavy, and it was very hard for her to press him, he was full of alcohol, I don't know how much he had drunk.

After walking a few steps, Xu Xiuyi was startled by the person in front of her, but she saw Jin Yu standing ten steps away in shock, holding a tray with a bowl of decoction in her hand, seeing Xu Xiuyi and An Chengshao almost embracing each other There was pain in her eyes, but also anger, and more, she couldn't believe it.

"Grandma, shouldn't you be in the room?"

Xu Xiuyi was speechless, at this time, she should be serving Su Jinyuan in the room.

Jin Yu originally thought that An Chengshao cared a lot about Xu Xiuyi, but seeing the two of them embracing ambiguously now, she became even more depressed and hated. She thought that Xu Xiuyi would never refuse anyone who came, and she fell in love with the second master of the Bai family. Also come to hook up with Mr. An.

She couldn't hide her anger, she no longer respected Xu Xiuyi, her eyes were full of cold anger: "Grandma, are you worthy of the third master?"

Xu Xiuyi was startled.

Jinyu is suffering from madness, and she can't hold back a word: "I saw during the banquet today that grandma doesn't care much about the third master. If grandma has a newcomer, don't you want the third master? With Second Master Bai, why do you want to move Mr. An's thoughts."

Xu Xiuyi never thought that Jin Yu would talk to herself like this one day, with a stern look, as if she was her master.

Xu Xiuyi came from modern times, although she believes in the principle that everyone is equal, but half of her body is the memory of ancient times, so she always feels that she is a master in front of Jinyu.She never thought that one day Jinyu would point to her nose and scold her like this.

For a while, she probably couldn't accept such gold and jade, and she couldn't say a word in a daze.

Jin Yu lost her mind and said, "Grandma, don't force me to tell the third master."

"Ah, third grandma Su, why did you carry Brother An back? Didn't I tell you to wait for me to carry him back together? Look at your thin body, what can you do if you get hurt?"

It was Bai Jingqi who spoke, Xu Xiuyi didn't know where he came from, but his words undoubtedly relieved Xu Xiuyi, and Jin Yu was a little dumbfounded.

Bai Jingqi looked at Xu Xiuyi, smiled slightly, and when she turned to Jinyu, she looked surprised: "Why don't you help your grandma, just now I saw brother An in the yard drunk, and I was going to help When your grandma is going to the kitchen to make anti-alcoholic medicine for your grandfather, I will ask your grandma to watch Mr. An first, and I will find someone to carry Mr. An back. This Mr. An is really, why did he drink so much, Su San Grandma, I've been away for a long time, come here, hurry up and take Mr. An back."

After finishing speaking, two people came out from behind, one was his wife and the other was his brother, Bai Jingqi and Bai Jingfeng worked together to take An Chengshao from Xu Xiuyi's hands, and carried the drunk, unconscious An Chengshao into the room .

Jin Yu looked at Xu Xiuyi in a daze, her face was full of remorse.

She misunderstood, it turned out that this was the case, what she said just now, she knelt down in a panic, and slapped her ear with both left and right hands.

"Grandma, slaves deserve to die, slaves deserve to die."

Xu Xiuyi knew that she loved An Chengshao, but she didn't know that she loved An Chengshao so much that she wanted to speak ill of her despite decades of affection between master and servant.

She is cold-hearted towards Jin Yu.

"Get up!"

A faint sentence, without any emotion, but Jin Yu dared to get up, and kowtowed on the ground: "Grandma, please forgive this slave."

"What's the matter, third grandma Su, did you tell the fifth prince about the matter I asked you to do a few days ago?" Bai Jingfeng was the one who spoke.

Without waiting for Xu Xiuyi to answer, he went on to say: "I'm going to kneel down and beg you now Third Mistress, Sun Min and I are in love with each other, you must ask the Fifth Prince to promise us a marriage."

Xu Xiuyi understood what she said, and Bai Jingfeng and the others heard what Jin Yu said about her just now.

Bai Jingqi, Bai Jingfeng intended to offend her and embarrass Jin Yu, but now he has given it.

Bai Jingqi's words cleared away the suspicion of Xu Xiuyi's affair with An Chengshao, and Bai Jingfeng's words now undoubtedly cleared the suspicion of Xu Xiuyi and him. It was to ask Xu Xiuyi to persuade the Fifth Prince to give her a marriage.

At this moment, Jin Yu just wished that his brain would be smashed through.

Tears rolled down her eyes in a panic, and she kept pleading: "Grandma, please forgive this servant, this servant is dizzy, and this servant is wrong."

Bai Jingfeng pretended not to know: "What's the matter? Third grandma, did Jinyu make any mistakes?"

Xu Xiuyi glanced at Jin Yu lightly. It was not wrong for her to have a crush on An Chengshao, but Xu Xiuyi didn't know that she was so infatuated with An Chengshao that she would betray her even for An Chengshao.

Growing up together since she was a child, she took her with her when she got married, and even jokingly proposed to marry her. Only now did she see clearly that Jin Yu could betray her mercilessly for the sake of the so-called unobtainable love.

She smiled coldly, and said to Bai Jingfeng: "It's okay, I will tell the fifth prince tomorrow what Bai Erye entrusted to me, Bai Erye just don't worry, Bai Erye accompanied me to the lantern festival and invited me to tea, this I will return the favor to Second Master Bai."

From the beginning to the end, she never looked at Jin Yu again. Jin Yu prostrated herself on the ground, shrugging her shoulders, not even daring to look at Xu Xiuyi's face.

Bai Jingfeng was very grateful, and hurriedly said: "The third grandma lost her way alone. As the host, I should accompany you to visit the lanterns, but Sun Shibo almost misunderstood that I was the third master that day. I will explain to Sun Shibo on another day, so as not to Sun Shibo turned around and told the third master what the third master misunderstood. I will trouble the third grandma about the matter between Minmin and me."

"you are welcome."

Bai Jingfeng was grateful to Xu Xiuyi, and Xu Xiuyi was also grateful to Bai Jingfeng. If it wasn't for brothers Bai Jingfeng and Jin Yu's brain, the situation would not be what it is today.

At this moment, the initiative fell into Xu Xiuyi's hands again. Jin Yu thought she had misunderstood Xu Xiuyi, sobbing and crying, she dared not raise her head. As soon as Bai Jingfeng left, Xu Xiuyi said coldly, "It's getting late at night, go and rest."

"grandmother!"

"From today onwards, I am no longer your grandma. After returning to Beijing, I will give you back your freedom. I will also give you back the contract of sale between you and my Xu family."

She said very lightly, she doesn't need such a disloyal servant by her side, if she dares to treat her like this once, there will be a second time.

Jinyu's tears fell quickly and quickly, her intestines were green with regret, she was only blamed for being covered in lard, she was only blamed for being self-righteous, she was only blamed for being hotheaded, only her heart was narrow, she was wrong, she really knew it was wrong up.

"Grandma, spare your servant, grandma."

As she burst into tears, Xu Xiuyi's heart softened for a moment, but it was only for a moment. Jinyu used to be a sister, a partner, a personal maid, and a caring padded jacket to her, but now, she has poisoned, arsenic, and bombs. Most of her feelings come from the memory of the former Xu Xiuyi, and it doesn't feel like a pity if she really wants to give up now.

Therefore, her attitude became more and more firm and indifferent: "You didn't make any mistakes, it's just that our fate as a master and servant is over. After you return to Beijing, you can go."

"Grandma, don't."

Jin Yu almost knelt down and hugged Xu Xiuyi's leg.

Xu Xiuyi withdrew her leg, her expression still indifferent.

"If you don't want to leave, you can go back to the Duke's mansion. You can do whatever you want, but I don't need you anymore."

"grandmother!"

Xu Xiuyi's attitude is undoubtedly firm, Jinyu knows that she has committed a heinous crime today, what else can she ask for, even if Xu Xiuyi wants to dominate her at this moment, she has nothing to say, after all, she has signed a contract to prostitute herself. She has been Xu Xiuyi's person since the day of the contract, how to deal with it depends on Xu Xiuyi's words.

Now, she just doesn't want her to serve her anymore, this is the lightest punishment.

Ai Ai, who was crying for Jin Yu, Xu Xiuyi had already bypassed her and went to the kitchen, leaving Jin Yu alone, limp on the ground, two tears traced on her pink and tender cheeks from the dried tears, she sat there in a daze , like a puppet.

When Xu Xiuyi returned from the kitchen with sober tea, Jin Yu was no longer there.

Also, in order not to go back to that room, Xu Xiuyi stayed in the kitchen for a long time.

Back in the room, Su Jinyuan was lying in his clothes, his body was on the bed, but his legs were stranded beside the bed. After all, Xu Xiuyi felt ashamed of him, so she went to take off his shoes, moved him to the bed with difficulty, put the soup by the bed, and He Yi went to the soft couch, took a cloak and wrapped it around, and fell asleep quietly.

Waking up by a loud noise early in the morning, Xu Xiuyi opened her eyes dimly. Su Jinyuan was still asleep on the bed, and there was a servant girl yelling in the yard. She opened the window, saw Pingya, and said: "What's wrong?"

Pingya hurriedly said: "Third Grandma Su, it's Jin Yu, she slapped her own mouth in the yard, her cheeks became red and swollen, we can't persuade her, is it that Grandma Su punished her mother?"

After Pingya asked, she felt that she was talking too much.

Xu Xiuyi's brows tightened slightly. When is she going to make trouble, she didn't turn against her completely, because after all, there were some secrets that she didn't hide from Jin Yu at the time, such as Su Jinyu's marriage, such as the secret collusion with Su Jiangshi.

But what she did would undoubtedly disgust Xu Xiuyi.

When he got up, Su Jinyuan also got up just in time, his eyes darkened suddenly when he saw the place where the two slept, but he was quickly attracted by the noise outside the window.

"What's going on here?"

"It's okay, you can rest for a while. I made sober tea for you last night, but you slept deeply, so I didn't wake you up. It's cold now. I'll ask someone to warm it up."

Su Jinyuan's heart warmed, she couldn't accept him for a while, but she still cared about him after all.

He felt aggrieved yesterday and thought about leaving at dawn, but now because of this concern, he is reluctant to part with it.

No matter how cold the hangover tea was, he raised his head and drank it all, with a smile on the corner of his mouth: "You boiled it, and you have to drink it even when it's cold. What's going on outside, why are you so noisy?"

"It's gold and jade."

Xu Xiuyi said lightly.

"What happened to Jin Yu?"

"It's a long story, don't worry about it, I'll go out for a while."

After tidying up her clothes and hair bun, the soft couch was small, she slept straight all night, her back hurt a lot, but her clothes and hair were not messed up.

Open the door and go out, walked to the middle of the yard, and saw Jinyu slapping her face left and right, her face was covered with blood, and the corners of her mouth were bleeding, Yinyu was crying and pulling her, but she couldn't pull her, Yinyu Weeping anxiously: "Are you saying that grandma punished you? What did you do wrong and grandma punished you like this?"

When Xu Xiuyi passed by, when she heard this sentence, Yinyu also saw her and knelt down in front of her: "Grandma, please spare Jinyu, if this continues, people will break it, grandma."

There was silence on the sidelines, except for Yinyu, no one dared to intercede with Jinyu, these dared not speak out, and it was because of Xu Xiuyi's somewhat indifferent attitude.

"When are you going to make trouble?"

She looked at Jin Yu and said coldly.

Jin Yu prostrated and knelt at her feet, kowtowing: "Grandma, please forgive me, I will never dare again, grandma, you can beat or scold me, don't drive me away, I have been serving grandma since I was a child, grandma It is the heaven of slaves, slaves cannot leave grandma."

The words are so sweet, and she is totally different from the Jin Yu who sternly said that she was going to report her last night. Xu Xiuyi also knows that Jin Yu was a little delirious last night, so she didn't restrain her words. This is especially true for people who are close to you.

Having been in charge of Baoning Hall for a few months, Xu Xiuyi has long understood a truth, the world is full of talents, no matter how capable a person is, they are no match for a loyal person.

She doesn't want Jinyu, this is a certainty, no one can change it, she is not even afraid that Jinyu will tell about Su Jinyu and Su Jiangshi's affairs, as long as Jinyu still has a conscience, she knows that she asked for it today, She can't blame her.

"You get up."

she said coldly.

Jin Yu cried and hugged her ankle: "Grandma, please spare your servant."
