Chapter 578
Upon hearing this, Zhu Baoyue, who was originally feeling a little disappointed, immediately broke into a smile.
She put the silver money on top of Alu's hand and said, "Thank you, Madam, for thinking of me. I earn money for spending, and you are not outsiders. It takes some effort to come through the city. It's not too much for those guys to have tea."
"Don't be polite, young lady. I have the right strength for my feet."
After some exchanges, A'lu finally said goodbye and left. The old lady supported Zhu Baoyue, who was standing in the yard and didn't look back, and whispered to her, "Miss, autumn frost hurts people, go inside."
Zhu Baoyue's smile did not fade, "In this life, if I can have the care of noble people, I will be satisfied with this life."
The old lady sighed, "Speaking of this young lady, there is nothing to say. We have seen a lot of romantic places. She used to hate our Man Yue Tower so much, but now she still cares about us from time to time and treats us as human beings."
Zhu Baoyue walked back slowly, "Mom, otherwise we'd better not eat here."
As soon as the words fell, the old lady was shocked, looked around, and asked in a low voice, "My son, you have a lover, who is it?"
Zhu Baoyue shook her head slowly.
But the old lady didn't believe it, and grabbed Zhu Baoyue to ask, "Is it the recent Young Master Jin or Young Master Tang? They are both old, have accomplished nothing, and have wives and concubines at home. If you go back with them, I'm afraid-"
"No."
Zhu Baoyue laughed in silence and grabbed her mother's hands that were shaking with anxiety. "No one, I just thought that we are getting older, and we should save more money in the future, and slowly stop doing this business of entertaining guests and selling smiles. Even if we are poorer, it will give us peace of mind."
The old mother slumped down, her face full of sorrow. "Even if we find a country farmer, we can't make a living here. My son, you are delicate and tender, and you can't make a living with the daily necessities of ordinary people. If we find a capable man, I'm afraid he will despise us..."
"What if no one is looking for you?"
As soon as Zhu Baoyue said this, the old lady shook her head in panic, "My son, don't think about it. If there is no man in the room, anyone can bully you. I'm afraid it would be better to just do it now."
In Dalon, there are no female households.
"If I were a widow——"
The old lady's eyes were filled with worry. "My son, what do you think? Once you leave this family, you can only beg for a man to rely on. Without a man to rely on, whether you are a widow or an orphan, there will be many people who rush to bully you--"
In addition, Zhu Baoyue is beautiful.
Zhu Baoyue knew these principles well, and sighed, "Mom, you don't have to worry, I just thought so, if you want to plan, you still need to consider it."
After my mother comforted him, Zhu Baoyue couldn't help but think about stopping the business.
But when A-lu returned and entered Shaohua Garden, he ran to the Fourth Young Master who was drinking tea and reading under the flower stand. Seeing the Young Madam working on the accounts at the desk not far away, he whispered to the Fourth Young Master, "I have something to report."
After glancing at Song Guanzhou a few times, Pei An understood what was going on and turned around to take him into the inner room.
Seeing that no one was in the room, A'lu told Pei'an, "I went to deliver festival gifts to Doctor Sun and Miss Baoyue, and I met Panxi on the way. I was furious and grabbed her to interrogate her. In the end, I couldn't understand why she wanted to harm me!"
Pei An's face was cold, "What can she say to you? She's just a maid."
If you dare to say it, you will die immediately.
Alu whispered, "Of course she refused to admit it, but... she seemed to be having a bad time, and I heard she got married."
Hearing this, Pei An's face was slightly disturbed, "Marry?"
A'lu nodded repeatedly, "I asked her who she married, but she refused to tell me because the person she married hurt me. But I told you not to ask me in the future, and to pretend not to know her when I see her." At this point, A'lu pouted, very unhappy, "My life is in danger, but she is still so arrogant. I really want to drag her in front of you, the fourth young master, and let you interrogate her."
After listening to this, Pei An's face darkened and his eyes became sharp.
"She's right. You're lucky today. When you looked at her, were the words I told you still in your mind?"
"Fourth Young Master, I—"
"You forgot everything?" Pei An was about to scold her, but thinking that the matter was still a secret, he asked Alu to come over and whispered again, "How could Panxi walk alone now? I'm afraid she felt sorry for you today, otherwise with your small body, you would have been taught a lesson long ago."
"This..., Fourth Young Master, are you saying that the thief is nearby?"
Pei An was right. Pan Xi was just lost for a moment. When Qiao Wan found her, she had already gotten rid of Alu. Qiao Wan saw her panic.
"What's going on?"
Pan Xi timidly walked over and stood behind him, "Second brother, that boy in the mansion just grabbed me and wouldn't let go."
Now, even if Panxi had ten thousand courages, she would not dare to hide it.
Qiao Wan sneered, "That little beast is quite brave. Did he embarrass you?" Pan Xi shook his head repeatedly, "He just asked me if I knew who hurt him that day. Naturally, I scolded him for slandering me."
Looking at Pan Xi who was as timid as a cat in front of him, Qiao Wan didn't make things difficult for him.
"Go and have a look later to see if there's any cloth you like, then come back and buy a few feet and make yourself some nice clothes."
"Thank you, second brother."
When Qiao Wan and Pan Xi returned to the Princess's Villa from the corner gate, it was already noon. Miao Hua was waiting at the second gate. When she saw Qiao Wan, she hurried over and said, "Second brother, the eldest lady wants to see you."
After Qiao Wan left, Miao Hua looked at Pan Xi, sized him up and down, and said, "You are smart. You found your second brother to be your backer."
Pan Xi was now covered in dust and dirt, like a servant girl, carrying a bamboo basket.
"The girl was talking and laughing. I have reached the age where I can be favored by my second brother. This is my blessing."
"Humph!"
Miao Hua sneered, "Don't say these things in front of me. You are such a coward, you can't even serve tea properly. If I were a girl, I would sell you out long ago. You are just an eyesore."
Pan Xi turned around and tried to leave, but Miao Hua grabbed her and found a secluded place. "Be careful with your mouth. Keep everything you've seen and heard in the past to yourself. I'm not a grown-up girl who can be kind and gentle. If you get us into trouble, don't think your second brother can protect you."
"The second brother you mentioned is now my husband. If he doesn't protect me, will he protect you?"
Miaohua and Shishu have nice names but plain looks. Panxi's provocation was also a mockery of Miaohua's big and strong appearance. Miaohua was furious and wanted to grab Panxi and beat her. Panxi seemed to have a backer at this moment and was not to be outdone. She glared at him angrily and said, "I just got married yesterday, and you want to beat me today? Why don't you try? I also want to see who my husband is protecting. Is he protecting a little girl like you?"
"you--"
