Chapter 489 Let's Shake Hands
After Jiangnan left, Du Jinning lay quietly on the soft couch with his eyes closed, motionless.Chen looked at her for a while, took a quilt to cover her, closed the door and went out.

Hearing the door was closed with a "bang", Du Jinning opened his eyes.After staring at the roof for a while, he closed his eyes again and fell asleep in a daze.

When she fell asleep and got up to go to the study, she found Jiang Bei kneeling at the door of her courtyard, motionless, and she didn't know how long she had been kneeling.

Du Jinning walked up to him without saying a word.

"Master, Young Master." Jiang Bei raised his head and looked at Du Jinning with guilt on his face.

"Come in." Du Jinning turned and went to the study.

Jiang Bei wanted to get up, but sat down on the ground.He knelt for so long that his legs were numb.

Du Jinning ignored him, went to the study and sat down.When Jiang Bei walked into the room, Du Jinning was already reading.

"Master, I..." Jiang Bei opened his mouth with a sad face, but he only cried out, and he cried out with a "wow".

Du Jinning put down the book in his hand helplessly, and looked at Jiang Bei: "How old are you this year?"

"Ten, eighteen." Jiang Bei said with a sob.

"Eighteen? I thought it was eight years old." Du Jinning said lightly.

Jiang Bei choked, wiped his face with his sleeve, and stopped crying, but the tears flowed down from time to time, and couldn't be stopped.

Du Jinning simply ignored him and continued to read his book.

After crying for a while, Jiang Bei probably had no interest in crying, so he said, "Master, I'm sorry for you."

"Yes." Du Jinning turned a page of the book.

"..."

Jiang Bei bit his lip: "Master, I don't want to go out."

"I know."

Jiang Bei bowed his head and remained silent.

Du Jinning raised his head, sighed, and put down the book in his hand: "Jiangbei, you have to know that even if today's incident hadn't happened, I couldn't keep you in the mansion all the time. You will also be going out within this year .”

Jiang Bei was stunned and opened his eyes wide: "Why?"

Du Jinning turned around and faced him; "Are you willing to be a slave all your life, or let your sister be a slave all your life, and then let your children be slaves?"

Jiang Bei was silent for a while, then shook his head.

He is naturally not reconciled.That's all for him, he feels that life in Du's house is pretty good, he doesn't have to worry about anything, just do trivial things, he doesn't get tired and no one treats him harshly, he gets paid every month, no one bothers him, and his life is stable Relaxed, he was particularly happy with the status quo.

But he didn't want his sister to do the same.His younger sister is prettier than any woman in the world, and she deserves better.

But if they were slaves, no matter how good-looking Jiang Nan was, they would still be worthy of a boy. At most, they would marry outside as concubines. This was something he could not tolerate.

So it is for their own good that the young master let them out now.

Looking at his expression, Du Jinning knew that he had figured it out.

"If you don't come to me, things will be done as I told Jiangnan. But now that you have come to me, then I can also give you a third way, which is to leave now, and I will let your slave go." Your marriage is up to you. Of course, if this is the case, I will not ask Qi Muyuan again. After all, this is a matter between you, and you are not my servants, so it is not easy for me to intervene of."

Jiang Bei was silent for a while, and said, "I, I want to discuss it with my sister."

"Well, go ahead. Think it over and give me an answer."

"Thank you sir."

Watching Jiang Bei retreat, Du Jinning stared at the book for a while, but couldn't read a word.

She let out a long breath, closed the book, put it on the bookshelf, and then began to study ink, preparing to practice calligraphy.

Practicing calligraphy is the most calming.

After studying the ink, before she could write a few words, Jiang Bei came back again and said to Du Jinning, "Master, can you let us stay for a few more days? We can go out after we find a good house outside?"

"Naturally no problem." Du Jinning said.

Seeing that Jiangbei was still looking worried, Du Jinning said again: "If you are worried about your livelihood after you go out, you can go to Uncle Zhuang and ask him to arrange a job for you, or go to a teahouse or a restaurant, Or go to the bookstore. Although you don’t have much money to be a clerk, it’s enough to support you and your sister. Your sister is good at sewing, so you can also do some sewing to make money to supplement the family.”

After she finished speaking, she asked again: "How much money have you saved?"

"Eight taels." Jiangbei said.

"I'll give you another ten taels. You go to rent a house with a better location, and don't go to those places where there are a lot of fish and dragons. With your sister's appearance, if you are watched by someone, it will be a big trouble. So after you go out, wait until she Before getting married, you told her it's best not to go out."

"Master..." Jiang Bei's tears fell again.

If it weren't for the young master, they might all be living in the hook bar now.The young master saved them and provided them with a stable life.Now, not only do they not want their redemption money, but they also give them back the money, thinking so far for them.And what did they do for the young master?He didn't do anything or say anything, and even caused the young master a lot of trouble.

This made Jiang Bei feel extremely guilty.

"Okay, let's go. Don't worry, I won't mention the matter of Jiangnan to Young Master Qi in the next few days. Leave this matter to your own decisions after you go out." Du Jinning said softly.

Jiang Bei knelt down and kowtowed to Du Jinning a few times with "dong dong dong" before he backed away with tears.

……

In the opposite Qi mansion, Qi Muyuan was staring at the book he took back from Du Jinning in a daze.

He always felt that something was wrong with him today.

Staring at the book in a daze for a while, he pushed the book forward and said to the outside: "Watch chess."

Guanqi walked in: "Master."

Qi Muyuan stared at him for a while, then waved: "Come here."

Guan Qi was puzzled, but he still walked over.

"Closer." Qi Muyuan saw the chess and moved two steps forward, stretched out his hand, "Give me your hand."

Guanqi looked puzzled, but still stretched out his hand.

Qi Muyuan grabbed his hand, shook it, and then shook his hand away: "Okay, let's go out." As he said that, he wanted to take out his handkerchief to wipe his hands, but suddenly remembered that his handkerchief was for Du Jinning to sit on, and took it to wash .

Watching chess became more and more inexplicable.

what does this mean?Why is the young master so wrong today?Could it be that he went to Linjiayuan and ran into something evil?

But he walked a few steps, and before he reached the door, he heard his young master's hesitant voice: "You..."

Guanqi stopped, turned around and looked at Qi Muyuan.

Qi Muyuan hesitated for a while, but still waved his hand: "Okay, you can go, there's nothing else to do."

Only then did Guanqi retreat.

Qi Muyuan turned around, facing the book, and reached out to touch his chin, but thinking that this hand shook with Guanqi just now, he couldn't help frowning.

He got up and went to the porch, scooped water into the copper basin, and washed his hands carefully with soap locusts, only then did he feel comfortable.

　Calvin, it's late again.Feel sorry
