Picking Up a General to Plow the Fields

Chapter 349: Moving out of the Su Manor

Outside the thin carriage curtains, the sound of horseshoes sounded again and gradually faded away.

He just left! He didn’t even say goodbye, he just left!

Ju Li couldn’t help but cry.
Whimpering, she said: “Miss, Miss! Biao* Young Master has treated you like this, why do you insist on liking him? Why do you like him!”

“Why bother!” Su Xin’er smiled sadly.
She looked at Ju Li crying and said: “I just like him.
I’ve liked him for so many years, what can I do?”

Ju Li was so stunned she couldn’t continue crying.
She sat silently.

Cui Shao Xi returned to the Su manor before Su Xin’er and ordered Cui Yi to pack his luggage.

Cui Yi glanced at his master and sighed softly: “This slave obeys!”

Amusing by this, Cui Shao Xi stared at him and said angrily: “Why are you sighing! Boring!”

“Young Master,” Cui Yi said with a smile, “you don’t need to move out! Isn’t it more fun here? How can Master Su, Madam Su, Young Master Su, and Young Madam Su live with this in their hearts?”

But in the end, how could Cui Shao Xi continue living in the Su manor? He glared at his servant and said: “If you want to stay, you can stay by yourself! Is Xiuyuan a small matter? It’s more convenient for me to go over there and take care of it nearby! You just send my things to Xiuyuan and tidy up a house for me there.
Ask someone to buy some furniture and houseware, go!”

Cui Yi knew it was impossible to change his master’s mind, so he agreed and left obediently.

As soon as he left, Cui Shao Xi brushed his sleeves and went to find Su Jing He and Fang Qing.

During this time, he had avoided Su Xin’re to avoid embarrassing each other but before he left the Su manor, he needed to explain things clearly to Su Jing He and Fang Qing.

When they heard the story, Fang Qing’s expression changed.
She did not speak but looked at Su Jing He.

Naturally, she was worried about Lian Fang Zhou but as Su Xin’er’s sister-in-law, it was inappropriate for her to intervene in this.

Her brother could speak but her sister-in-law could not.

Fang Qing had always been very transparent and considerate about this family relationships.
Her husband was honest and there was no other woman beside him, so she owed him a lot of respect.

“That damn girl, really embarrassing the Su family! Where is she!? Why didn’t you drag her back? By the way, how is Fang Zhou? Did she get hurt?” Su Jing He’s face was very ugly and he was gritting his teeth.

“She’s already on her way back, she should be here soon.” Cui Shao Xi said.
“Fang Zhou is fine but I’m afraid that with cousin’s temperament, she will not be willing to give up like this!”

Su Jing He nodded and immediately called for the maid to go to the second door and wait.
When Su Xin’er returned, she needed to report immediately.

Thinking of his sister’s temper, Su Jing he had a headache.
Smiling wryly, he said: “Why did she make a fuss all of a sudden? That dead girl has really burnt out her brain! She’s suspicious just from listening to the wind all day! You and Fang Zhou? How did she come to this conclusion? I don’t know what part of her brain is broken!”

Hearing this last sentence, Cui Shao Xi’s expression changed.
Pursing his lips, she snorted slightly and gave Su Jing He and angry look from the side.

Su Jing He, still suffering a headache over his sister, did not notice Cui Shao Xi’s expression.
He smiled at Fang Qing and said: “This is really wronging Fang Zhou.
Tomorrow, ask Li Ma to go and bring her a gift to apologize! Let her rest assured, I will take care of Xin’er and won’t let her mess around again!”

“Xin’er has bothered you a lot! Fang Zhou is not a careless person, don’t worry.
I will take care of it.” Fang Qing smiled and nodded.

Her husband sighed and touched his head.
Turning to Cui Shao Xi, he said, half-joking, half-serious: “You are the culprit in this matter! Actually, my family’s Xin’er is pretty good and it’s rare to find someone so devoted to you! She has one mind with you, if you say west, she would never dare to go east! If you tell her to stand, she will never sit.
Just marry her! It will save you so much trouble!”

Cui Shao Xi took two steps back as if he had been burned and said with no anger: “Cousin, do not fight me on this.
I will tell you seriously today that I will never marry cousin, absolutely not.
I have never thought of marrying her!”

Cui Shao Xi’s expression and tone were so serious, that Su Jing He was both surprised and embarrassed.

He was also a little annoyed.
Xin’er loved him, what was wrong with this? This was not the first time he had suggested this, did his cousin have to act like a chaste woman being molested?

As a woman, Fang Qing was more sensitive to other people’s emotions.
Noticing something was off, she winked at Su Jing he and asked Cui Shao Xi with a smile” Min Zhi, did something else happen? We are all family, there is nothing you can’t say!”

Su Jing He glanced at Cui Shao Xi and also nodded: “Yes, yes, Qing’er is right! What else is going on, tell me?”

After all, Su Jing He was Su Xin’er full blooded brother.
Not only had he been reckless and wild since he was a child, he had also treated his sister like a pearl in his hand.

Su Xin’er’s unpleasant words, Cui Shao Xi had not told them at all, simply explaining that Su Xin’er had believed Lian Fang Zhou had wronged her and went to trouble her.
Of course, Su Jing He and his wife would not fully understand the gravity of his words and naturally wouldn’t notice his emotions.

Cui Shao Xi did not want to be entangled in his matter.
Anyways, he had made it clear today.
Even if Xin’er was still confused, her brother was not.
In short, Su Xin’er would have nothing to do with him in the future! However, before he left, he thought of what Ah Jian had said to him.

“This matter is too strange.” Cui Shao Xi said cynically.
“I received a letter this morning, the steward said it was from my home.
I didn’t dare to delay it and opened it immediately.
When I read it, I knew it was not from my family at all and there was no signature.
It only said that Xin’er had gone to trouble Fang Zhou and begged me to go there quickly.”

Cui Shao Xi took out the letter and handed it to Su Jing He.

Su Jing He and Fang Qing were both stunned.
After reading the letter, they both couldn’t help but wonder…

“What is going on? Why am I getting more and more confused?” Su Jing He rubbed his forehead and said to his wife: “Qing’er, what do you think?”

Fang Qing shook her head: “There must be some purpose here, but I think we need to wait for Xin’er and ask her when she returns home!”

“Cousin-in-law is correct,” Cui Shao Xi said, “I think there must be someone behind the scenes but its hard to say what their purpose is.
When cousin comes back, you can discuss this slowly.
Also, I intend to move to Xiuyuan.
There will be many things that need to be supervised soon, so it’s good to have someone to take care of matters and prevent those workers from becoming lazy! If you have something you need, send someone to find me! As for Uncle and Aunt, I will have to ask cousin and cousin-in-law to help me out, I won’t stay to say goodbye!”

With the power of the Su family and Fang Qing’s clever mind, Cui Shao Xi was not at all afraid that they would not be able to find the mastermind behind the scenes.
He had said everything that needed to be said and he wouldn’t be able to help, anyways.
