Chapter 69 Eating
Xin Nuo had been waiting outside. After Chu Wei ordered someone to put away the transcript, he walked out and asked, "Why are you coming out alone? You're not going home either?"

This tone seems to be that of his own parents.

Xin Nuo pretended to be pitiful, "I've always been alone. You know, in that family, I didn't have anyone I could trust."

Knowing that what she said was false, Chu Wei still felt sad thinking about her experience. He took a step forward and said, "Let's go, I'll treat you to lunch."

Xinnuo followed, "Is that okay? Men and women in the capital should avoid suspicion. If the two of us go to dinner together in broad daylight, won't we cause gossip?"

The girl kept talking, and it felt like she was chattering. Chu Wei had no choice but to turn around and look into her cunning eyes, and the corners of his beautiful lips unconsciously curved into a beautiful arc.

"It doesn't matter," he said, "just let Zhang Ku and the others sit down."

Xinnuo knew very well that the people in the capital had strict rules between masters and servants. Not being able to eat at the same table as the master was the most basic rule that servants were not allowed to exceed.

On the other hand, in Chu Wei's heart, Zhang Ku and others are not servants.

Then he entered a restaurant across the street and sat at a round table. Only then did Xinnuo realize that Zhang Ku and the others were not just servants, they were also people who could grab food.

Before the main course, there were two plates of snacks and fruits. These four guys actually ate up the most delicious red bean cake in the blink of an eye.

Xin Nuo felt sorry for Chu Wei for a moment or two, and asked the waiter who brought the food to bring another plate.

Hu Ping said: "Girl, don't worry, our father doesn't like to eat such sweet things."

Xinnuo:---
She looked at Chu Wei, who said, "I'm not picky about what I eat."

After that, Xinnuo observed unconsciously, and sure enough, Chu Wei was not picky about food at all, and he didn't have the requirement not to eat coriander or chopped green onion.

Inexplicably, I feel that this person is easy to raise.

After lunch, Chu Wei sent Xinnuo back to Cheng's house.

Xin Nuo said: "I came out secretly, you just need to send me to the side door."

Chu Wei hummed, and after a sound of empty footsteps, he asked, "Are you still used to the life of the Cheng family?"

In order to avoid embarrassment and not make the topic too obvious, Xinnuo didn't expect that a person like him would be embarrassed sometimes, so he smiled and said, "It's okay. Although the Cheng family doesn't like me, they won't bully me intentionally."

Chu Wei nodded, "If you have any questions, come to me directly."

I don't know if he recognized that she was the little junior sister who only existed in the master's mouth. He was very protective of her. As he spoke, he couldn't help but raise his hand and touch the top of her head gently.

Xin Nuo smiled, "Then don't find me annoying then."

As she walked, she asked the question that had been pressing in her heart since just now, "In the case of Chen Meizi being kidnapped, she was insulted more than once or twice by that scumbag Zhang Xi during the few days she was in the Zhang family. This is Rape. Why didn't you mention this at all when you judged the case?"

Hearing this, Chu Wei took a deep look at her and said: "This crime, even if it is punished, is not heavy, but this crime has an extremely bad impact on a man's reputation. Therefore, the Zhang family will do whatever it takes to get this crime." The crime is reversed. Maybe the Zhang family will ask their servants to publicize it outside. You know, men will never be affected much by this kind of thing. If the Zhang family unanimously says that the woman failed to seduce him and bites her back, she will be very It’s hard to survive anymore.”

Xinnuo only thought about giving harsh sentences to disgusting people, but did not think so much at all. After listening to Chu Wei's analysis, he was convinced.

"You are more considerate than me." She said, looking up and seeing the capital city bustling with people and things, the involuntary experience of a weak woman like Mei Zi seemed not to weigh as much as a sesame seed.

But, it shouldn't be like this.

I always feel that there is a place where no matter how wealthy the perpetrator is, there are always some people who are at the forefront of the incident and speak out for the victims.

I was so lost in thought that the sole of my foot was hit by a pebble, and I immediately turned sideways in pain.

She is not a squeamish person, but she has been unable to bear pain since she was a child. For her, pain is not only physical discomfort, but also psychologically unbearable.

Chu Wei stretched out his hand to hold her arm, with a bit of helplessness in his voice: "Look at the road."

Xinnuo hummed, not relying on his senior brother's strong hand on purpose.

But Senior Brother's palm is really hot and a little hard.

After Chu Wei let go of her arm, he felt that the skin in his palm that had been in contact with hers seemed to have a cluster of small flames.

He coughed and said, "The back street of Cheng's house is ahead, so I won't follow you."

Xin Nuo waved to him, turned around and entered the back street of Cheng's house. After walking for a while, she looked back. Chu Wei was still standing there. When she looked back, he smiled at her.

"Miss Cheng," after turning a corner, there was a man walking towards me.

This is Lu Fan, a person with a very good impression of Xinnuo. She believes in her feelings very much. Even though she has only met once, she still greets her very friendly: "Master Lu, are you going out?"

Lu Fan was dressed in washed white blue clothes, and in one hand he was holding a stack of square things wrapped in oil paper.

"Send the newly made plum blossom paper to the bookstore." He said.

After hearing this, Xin Nuo wanted to ask, had his plum blossom paper business not been affected at all by the previous tongue pulling case?

But he felt it was impolite, so he nodded and stood aside to let him pass first.

Lu Fan nodded slightly and walked over. Just as Xinnuo had a good impression of him, he also had a good impression of her. He walked over and then stopped and said, "If Miss Cheng likes some flower paper, You can tell me."

Xin Nuo smiled and said, "Okay."

When she turned around and walked home, she unconsciously repeated "Miss Cheng" in his tone.

Miss Cheng, this title sounds ordinary when others call her, but Lu Fan's gentle Miss Cheng has the power to tug at her heartstrings.

It seemed that this person had given her such rare warmth.

Xin Nuo walked briskly through the west door, and a sudden sound startled her.

"Second Miss," Cheng Xuelian's eldest maid Huang Oriole, holding a bamboo basket in one hand, stood on the right side after entering the door. She looked at the smile remaining on Xinnuo's face and said dissatisfied: "I just came over there. , I saw you and Mr. Lu talking, I wonder what you said to make you so happy?"

Xinnuo raised his eyebrows, looked at her, and said with a smile, "What, are you interested?"

Oriole said angrily: "I'm not interested, but second lady, please don't be so interested in Mr. Lu."

"Why?" Xinnuo didn't have the same thoughts about Lu Fan as Oriole said, but she didn't need to explain to Oriole that it was his freedom to make friends and be good friends with whomever he wanted.

Oriole is stuck. She can't say that the eldest lady likes Mr. Lu. She has been trying hard to persuade her aunt to ask the madam for the past few days to get her engaged to Mr. Lu.

She snorted and said, "You come from the countryside, why do you have the dignity to always hang out with young gentlemen?"

Xin Nuo smiled and said: "According to what you said, if you don't come from the countryside, you have enough face to find the young master?"

"You, why are you speaking so unpleasantly?" Oriole frowned and looked at Xinnuo with disgust, "Second Miss, don't think that the eldest son is protecting you just because you have established a foothold in the Cheng family."

Just as he was talking, an anxious maid came over. When she saw the two people here, she slapped her thigh and shouted: "The second lady is back, she is here."

Xinnuo was quickly taken to the old lady's Songhe Courtyard surrounded by three servants and five maids.

What happened again?
Xinnuo bowed to Mrs. Cheng, who was in charge, but there was nothing obvious about the old lady's face.

Mrs. Cheng raised her chin and gestured to the seat next to her, and said calmly: "Sit down."

Xinnuo sat over and asked, "I wonder why grandma called her granddaughter here?"

Mrs. Cheng covered the tea in the cup and said, "Did you go out with that Xu Ruqing early this morning?"

Xin Nuo looked across the way, where Cheng Xueyao was clasping her hands on her knees, smiling and looking back, "Sister, I'm very close to Brother Xu these days, even I feel jealous."

Xinnuo rolled his eyes and said to Mrs. Cheng: "Xu Ruqing came to make an appointment with me early in the morning. I happened to have nothing to do, so I wanted to see what he was going to do. Who knew that when he went out, he would even have dozens of taels of hairpins? If I can’t afford it, I will never go out with him again.”

Mrs. Cheng took a breath when she said this, stupid, so stupid.

It's just that you're greedy for wealth, why do you say it so openly?
Don't you care about your family's reputation at all?

The bigger the family business, the more difficult it is to blow people away when poor relatives come to ask for help.

Mrs. Cheng suspected that her teachings in the past two days had been fed to the dog.

Cheng Xueyao, on the other hand, sneered in her heart. She wanted to see if her biological daughter could still count on her.

As for Xu Ruqing, the worst she can do is give him some more money. During this period, he must create the illusion that the relationship between the two of them is very good and that Xu Ruqing can do anything for Cheng Nuo.

After all, this Cheng Nuo has a charming face, and it would be surprising if a man said that he was so fascinated by her that he would not go anywhere.

Thinking like this, Cheng Xueyao couldn't help but look at Xin Nuo's perfect and delicate face.

It's a pity to give her such a beautiful face.

Cheng Xueyao felt a surge of sourness in her heart, and jealousy seemed to turn into small insects, eating away at her heart.

But when she thought that although Xu Ruqing was with her, she liked him more, the discomfort in her heart subsided a little.

Cheng Xueyao picked up the tea cup and took a sip gently. The slightly astringent and refreshing fragrance of the tea made her completely relaxed.

At this moment, Mrs. Cheng, who heard her superiors, said slowly: "The reason why I called you two over is because I have something to ask you."

Cheng Xueyao put down her tea cup and said seriously: "Grandma, please speak."

Mrs. Cheng looked at her, and she looked back calmly.

Mrs. Cheng looked at her granddaughter on the other side, and what she saw was a girl who had studied for several days and still had no posture at all. She suddenly frowned indifferently.

"Ningcui, after being kicked out of the Cheng Mansion, do you two still have anything to do with her?"

Upon hearing this, Xinnuo understood that the dream she had last night was not about sourceless water, and that Ningcui was really dead.

She shook her head and said, "I have seen her too much. After the Cheng family kicked her out, I never saw her again. What's wrong, does grandma have any news about her?"

Mrs. Cheng said: "That's right. What about you?"

Cheng Xueyao looked confused. She had no idea what happened to Ningcui, the woman she should call aunt, and she didn't care.Even after her life experience was exposed and the unsavory inside story was revealed, she felt ashamed and disgusted when she heard the word "Ning Cui".

"Grandma, I don't know either." She said, her eyes slightly red.

Why did her grandmother ask her this? Did she think she would support Ningcui's life because she was her aunt?

Cheng Xueyao has never suffered so much grievance. She is a proud and noble daughter of the Cheng family. In the past, even if her grandmother didn't like her that much, she would never say anything that might make her lose face.

Cheng Xueyao lowered her head. From Xinnuo's position, she seemed to see that her body was almost completely shrouded in a black shadow.

If Cheng Xueyao wasn't so disgusting, Xin Nuo would suggest that she go to the temple and ask for a peace charm consecrated by a senior monk.

Xin Nuo asked Mrs. Cheng: "Grandma, I don't know why you asked about Ning Cui."

Mrs. Cheng originally didn't plan to say anything more, but when she heard this, she glanced at Xin Nuo and sighed: "That's fine, although this matter is a bit cruel, you should listen to it."

Xin Nuo listened attentively, and she was very curious about how someone as thoughtful and versatile as Ning Cui ended up having fun within a few days of being kicked out of the Cheng family.

The nun next to Mrs. Cheng said: "At noon today, the government officials came over and said that the person was killed in Xinghua Lane last night. Since he left our house, they wanted to come over to check for some clues. "

Xin Nuo groaned and looked at Cheng Xueyao opposite: "Do you want to collect the body of your aunt?"

Cheng Xueyao, who didn't feel sad at all, was shocked when she heard this. After all, to outsiders, Ning Cui was her aunt who had a close blood relationship with her. If she didn't show any sadness at all, would her grandmother think she was too cold-blooded?

Thinking of this, Cheng Xueyao looked a little sad, "Although she is my aunt in love, Cheng Mansion raised me, and she did something wrong to Cheng Mansion, so of course I dare not take care of her. . But death is the most important thing. Grandma, after the case is found out, I am willing to pay dozens of taels of silver to buy her a coffin, a cemetery, and ask someone to help with her funeral affairs."

Mrs. Cheng nodded her head frequently as she spoke, "It's good that you have such a heart. Even if you can't get close to such a person, they are your blood relatives after all. If you are too ruthless, you will be punished. "
