C29 (1/2)
Little Zhui brought a bowl of rose water to wash Xue Ronghua's face, but he saw that she had already changed into men's clothing.
Xue Ronghua shook her sleeves confidently, ”I will go out today to get some money, wait for me in my room.”
Little Zhui said worriedly: ”Miss, please do not leave the house too often.
Xue Ronghua waved her hand nonchalantly. ”Madam Ye and Xue Liuhua will be calming down a bit, don't worry.”
Little Zhui continued: ”What if Madam comes back again?”
Xue Ronghua's leg had already stepped out of the window, ”It can't be, if something happens, help me deal with it.”
”Young master, this way please.”
After earning another sack of coins, the first thing Xue Ronghua did was to drink some good wine. A day ago, when she heard Little Zhui mention that the Plum Blossom Wine inside her Tingxue Building was very good, he immediately called for the waiter to bring two bottles.
Xue Ronghua drank a mouthful of wine when she heard a clear male voice downstairs. She leaned over and saw a tall, handsome young man holding a golden folding fan. He was chatting with the restaurant owner.
Xue Ronghua looked at him carefully. From the looks of his demeanor, he was definitely not a normal person.
The young master sat in the opposite room, separated by a bead curtain. Xue Ronghua thought that since the Emperor had too many sons, she might as well continue drinking when she meets one of them.
Xue Ronghua's thoughts were boring, but her ears were still paying attention to the movements in the room. A tall and sturdy man walked into the private box and greeted him respectfully: ”Prince Jin.”
Xue Ronghua almost spat out the alcohol. So this was the Prince Jin that Xue Liuhua was yearning for, she curiously stood up and took another look, she felt that the Prince Jin was not as handsome as the capital city women thought.
Prince Jin sensed that someone was peeping outside the curtain, and smiled to the man: ”General Lin, do you mind if we take a seat inside?”
General Lin shook his head: ”Prince Jin, no need to be so polite, this humble subject will leave after I finish speaking.” He dipped his finger in the wine and drew a circle on the dining table.
Prince Jin smiled, ”Thank you, General Lin.”
General Lin nodded his head and walked out of the private box.
Before she even drank a few cups, why did this person come out? Xue Ronghua looked at the private box weirdly, but met with Prince Jin's smiling eyes, she immediately turned her face over.
Prince Jin picked up his fan, leisurely walked to Xue Ronghua's side, and smiled at her: ”Sir, you don't mind if I sit next to you, right?”
Seeing his warm smile, Xue Ronghua's heart suddenly skipped a beat. So it turned out that the Prince Jin's charm could only be displayed with a smile, it was no wonder that Xue Liuhua thought of him day and night.
Prince Jin looked at Xue Ronghua's flushed cheeks and couldn't help but snicker in her heart. This wasn't some gongzi, this was clearly a young miss dressed like a man.
”May I know how to address young master?”
Xue Ronghua was startled and randomly made a name, ”Mu … ”Hua!”
Prince Jin knew that she was lying and laughed, ”I am Chu Yuanma.”
Xue Ronghua did not expect him to say her real name, and said blankly: ”Chu.”
The Prince Jin smiled as he drank a mouthful of wine, ”I see that Young Master Mu has a dignified appearance, I wonder which family Father is from?”
”My family's teachings are strict. Please forgive me for not being able to inform the young master.”
Seeing that Prince Jin did not continue, Xue Ronghua heaved a sigh of relief.
”What does Young Master Mu think of this Plum Blossom Wine?”
”That's right,” Xue Ronghua licked the corner of her lips. ”It's delicious when you drink it, and it's refreshing. It's indeed a famous wine from the capital.”
”Is this Young Master Mu's first time coming to Tingxue Building?”
”Uh, this isn't the first time.”
Xue Ronghua was afraid that he would be exposed if he continued to ask, and immediately evaded the question: ”If Young Master Chu has nothing else, then I will leave first.”
It wasn't easy for Prince Jin to find someone to drink with him, so he anxiously asked, ”Sir, do you want to stay for a while?”
Xue Ronghua looked back at him and smiled, ”If fate wills it, we will meet again. At that time, I will accompany you to drink a few cups.”
”Miss, you're finally back.”
Xue Ronghua went back to her room and saw Little Zhui's panicked look, she asked: What are you panicking for, something big happened?
Little Zhui said with a trembling voice: ”Second Miss, she … ”She's gone …”
Xue Ronghua was startled, then reacted: ”Isn't she staying in the temple well, why did she suddenly disappear?”
Little Zhui said: ”The second young miss did not listen to my advice, she escaped unscathed, and was bitten to death by a wild wolf.”
”So that's how it is.” Xue Ronghua nodded, she did not want to kill Xue Yaohua at all, she could not blame her if she died now.
”Then, what did Madam Ye say?”
”Madame fainted from crying, and Eldest Miss was very sad.”
Xue Ronghua's face darkened. She had initially wanted to let Madam Ye and Xue Liuhua rest for a while, but unexpectedly, Xue Yaohua had suddenly disappeared at this moment, and the two people who lost their daughter and sister would definitely not let it go, and would once again start a fight with her.
”Little Zhui,” Xue Ronghua did not want to sit still and wait for death, ”Come with me to father's study quickly.”
Little Zhui panicked: When Master is really sad, the matter of Miss Yao Hua being sent to the temple is related to Miss, if you go to the study room now, won't it cause you trouble?
Xue Ronghua said calmly: ”If we don't go now, the Madam Ye would come knocking.”
In the study, Xue Longhu looked at Xue Liuhua who was lightly sobbing on the chair, and tears could not help but flow down two lines, ”Regarding Yao Hua, father is extremely guilty.”
