Without hesitation, she ordered Yulu, ”Quick! and take Boss Su out the back door. ”
”Yes sir!” Yulu could not care about how bad the reputation of Su Ruoshui, the owner of the Yongle Workshop was, as he turned around and left.
”What are you doing?” No matter how many scenes Su Ruoshui had seen before, he was still confused by this master and his servant. She was here to collect her debt, not to have an affair!
Why did it seem like he had been caught red-handed and had to leave through the back door in a dejected manner?
But Yulu's hands and feet were extremely nimble, as though there was a fierce tiger chasing after her, and without any explanation, he pulled her out.
Wen Jiu walked to the end of the stairs with a heavy heart, and a clear and cold youth walked to the top of the stairs. He lifted his head, met her eyes, and asked: ”What are you standing here for?”
”Just as I was about to go downstairs, I coincidentally met Third Brother.”
Wen Jiu's face was filled with surprise, but then he laughed: ”You said it's a coincidence?”
After hearing about Xie Heng last night, she sent him to Xie Xuan's courtyard overnight. Third Young Master probably drank too much, she had gotten up early and finished squatting in the horse stance. This person still had not gotten up, so she was lucky to be out.
Who would have thought that this person would actually come to North Street.
Xie Xuan did not answer, but walked straight to the place where she and Su Ruoshui had sat before, and lowered his head to take a look, ”Clearly it was an unfortunate coincidence.”
When the youth said this, his voice was extremely faint.
But the more he listened, the more Wen Jiu felt a headache.
”Just now, there was a customer here, so I drank a few mouthfuls with him. I really didn't …”
Wen Jiu had not finished speaking when he saw Xie Xuan take a sip from the jar and weighed it in his hand, ”Two mouthfuls? You've already seen the last of this wine? ”
Wen Jiu wanted to escape immediately, but Jin Er and Xiang Man were still standing below. She didn't say anything, but the two of them shook their heads at the same time.
He looked like ”Young Madame, no matter what you want to do, you have to suppress it first. We'll talk about it after Third Young Master leaves”.
Right now, Xie Xuan had not even entered the service, and did not even have an official position, so what should he do in the future if all of them were already this afraid?
Wen Jiu held his hands together inside his wide sleeves, gently caressed it with his fingertips, and tried to quibble: ”Third Brother is wrongly accusing me. How did this jar of wine end up as mine?
Since Su Ruoshui wasn't here, a good person should help her get past the Third Young Master.
Xie Xuan frowned: ”Where is she?”
”I just left!”
Wen Jiu answered especially quickly at this moment. Without waiting for Xie Xuan to speak again, she hurriedly said: ”The guest just now was a young lady. Third Brother can be at ease, I will not drink with other men outside.”
She was really afraid that Xie Xuan would take out another Women's Commandment for her.
She had never seen such a thing in her two lifetimes. If she were to carry such a thing behind her back, wouldn't it be even worse than taking her life?
Xie Xuan replied: ”I know.”
It was good that he knew! Wen Jiu was overjoyed, and did not wait for her to continue speaking.
Xie Xuan's eyes turned slightly cold, ”Those are the people from the Changle Workshop.”
's heart skipped a beat. Third Young Master was different from Xie Heng. Thinking back to Xie Xuan's past life, which caused her to lose the face to marry again after eating for half her life, seeing him like this, Wen Jiu faintly felt that the situation wasn't good.
Not good!
She tried to save him, but braced herself and said, ”That …”
”The rouge this person left behind is extremely heavy, it's the same as what Jiang Wuxia brought back yesterday when he delivered it to the General's Mansion.” Xie Xuan said expressionlessly.
Wen Jiu was immediately choked.
Why didn't she smell any rouge? This was the window seat. The wind was strong, and the alcohol had long since covered up the other odors.
