The Book of Raising Children by Houmen

Chapter 251 The truth (1)
She could still feel the temperature of Zhao Jing's fingertips through the silk handkerchief. Xu Si'an raised her eyebrows slightly, enjoying the gentle touch, but when Zhao Jing was about to withdraw her fingers, she stretched out her hand to hold her wrist and pulled her Leaning by his side, he turned his head and asked her: "Tell me about Sun Yu'e again. Steward Zhou's letter is a bit vague, and there are still some things I haven't figured out."

Even if Xu Si'an doesn't ask about this matter, Zhao Jing will still find an opportunity to tell him that Sun Yu'e is his adopted daughter, and Xu Si'an handles this matter in the most appropriate way, but he only came back yesterday, so how can he find time to listen to her? say this.

There are quite a few servants coming and going in the Hou's mansion, Zhao Jing took her hand from Xu Si'an's big palm, and said in a low voice: "In that case, Lord Hou, let's sit in my Ziwei Garden for a while."

At the end of spring and the beginning of summer in May, the back garden is full of purples and reds. The men are handsome and tall, and the women are beautiful and slim. They walk on the path in the courtyard of the Hou Mansion one after the other.As Zhao Jing walked, she told Xu Si'an what happened in those few days in detail. In fact, Zhao Jing herself was not sure that Sun Yu'e would be the person who poisoned her, but Jixiang said that this thing was brought out from Linglong Courtyard. Zhao Jing had no choice but to become suspicious of Sun Yu'e.

"The eldest girl is the eldest lady of the Hou Mansion. She should know some rules. It is impossible for two servants to behave mischievously in her own yard. Besides, if they don't get together to discuss it, it is easy for two people to hand over in private. Well, there is no need to find a special place at all, so I suspect that this matter has something to do with the eldest girl."

Mrs. Xu has raised Sun Yu'e for so many years, she is just a beast, after such a long time, it is impossible to turn her face ruthlessly and bite her master back.Zhao Jing thought Sun Yu'e was involved at the time, but she actually felt a little unbelievable, but no matter how unbelievable she was, she couldn't match the fact.It's no wonder that the old lady fell ill with anger. Anyone who has experienced such a thing will feel chilled.

"Sun Yu'e just doesn't know what it means!" Xu Si'an snorted coldly, only to hear a click, and when Zhao Jing turned her head, she saw a blooming crabapple flower on the side of the road broken by Xu Si'an.

Zhao Jing stopped in her tracks, looked at Xu Si'an's furious expression, and didn't speak until his complexion improved a little, "What are you doing with these dead things? Fortunately, the old lady is fine now."

In the blink of an eye, the two had arrived at the Ziwei Garden. The wisteria flowers on the wisteria flower stand in the courtyard were already in full bloom.The anger just now had been suppressed, Xu Si'an stood at the door and took a look, then turned to Zhao Jing and said, "This yard looks pretty good now."

Zhao Jing lowered her eyes and smiled, and led Xu Si'an into the door, ordered the little maid to boil water in the tea room, and led him to sit down in the hall.Hanging in the hall is a picture of wild cranes with idle clouds, accompanied by a note from Xu Si'an, which is quiet and peaceful.

It was hot outside, but it was very cool in the hall. Xu Si'an sat down on the chair in the main seat, with a solemn expression, raised his head and asked Zhao Jing, "Do you know why I accepted Sun Yu'e as a foster daughter?"

Zhao Jing lowered her head and said nothing, wondering why Xu Si'an asked herself this question?Sun Yu'e's eyes towards Xu Si'an have reached the point of not hiding it, doesn't Xu Si'an himself know?Zhao Jing struggled for a long time on whether to tell the truth, and was afraid that she would be exposed by Xu Si'an for pretending to be stupid, but she was embarrassed because he didn't look like a scheming person at all.

"It's good for Master Hou to be clear in his heart, so why ask me?" Zhao Jing glanced at Xu Si'an, and said calmly: "Don't Master Hou know that the eldest girl likes you, even the way you look in her eyes..."

Zhao Jing hadn't finished speaking, but Xu Si'an's face suddenly turned ugly, and he raised his voice almost unbelievably: "What did you say?"

The little maid outside just happened to bring tea in, and when she heard this, she froze at the door and dared not come in.Zhao Jing hurriedly stepped forward to take the tea tray in her hand, and when she turned around, she saw the collapsed expression on Xu Si'an's face.Did he really not know about this?Zhao Jingyuan didn't believe it, but after thinking about it, Xu Si'an didn't know but it was understandable, he was away all year round, and his time at the mansion was limited every year, even if Sun Yu'e was tired of being by his side all day, I'm afraid he might not be able to go Where do you want to go... probably because you are more sensitive as a woman, so you can see it?
Zhao Jing's cheeks blushed instantly, and she brought the teacup to Xu Si'an and said, "Master Hou, have a cup of tea, don't be impatient, just pretend I didn't agree."

The expression on Xu Si'an's face was still ugly, gloomy for a long time, when he raised his eyes, he suddenly saw Zhao Jing's blushing cheeks, reached out to take the teacup in her hand, and suddenly smiled, "So you're jealous."
