Marrying into a poor family

Chapter 354 Ma Hui II

Qin Xi thought for a while and asked, "Is it important?"

Lu Xiangyin nodded, his face a little solemn and a little uneasy.

"Say it!"

"Well, first of all, I want to make it clear that my move is not directed at anyone or to retaliate against anyone, but just to discuss the matter."

Before he got down to business, he said something to express his position and attitude. Qin Xiang only nodded slightly and looked at Lu Xiangyin without saying a word.

Lu Xiangyin's cheeks were slightly red. Even though he had been with Qin Xiang for so long, he could still blush and his heart beat involuntarily when Qin Xiang stared at him like this.

Alas, it’s really sad that I’m a beauty.

After a slight daze, Lu Xiangyin immediately came back to his senses and bowed in an inviting gesture: "Madam, please go sit down in the room and have a cup of tea, and Rong Xiao will come one by one."

Qin Xiang walked towards the only room where guests were waiting, and Qing Gu immediately followed.

There was tea and water in the room, and Qinggu took the initiative to go aside to make tea. Qin Xiang and Lu Xiangyin sat down on both sides of the table.

Lu Xiangyin stopped wasting time and spoke directly.

"Madam, I suspect Ma Hui has second thoughts."

Qin Xiang raised her eyebrows and asked, "How do you say that?"

"Madam, you still remember that it snowed heavily a few days ago. I was afraid that the roof of the warehouse would collapse due to the heavy snow, so I stayed in the warehouse at night."

The warehouse was rebuilt, and half of the two-story building in the backyard was used as accommodation for the incense shop and warehouse workers. Even the delivery people from Dancheng lived here.

But there is a separate door for entry and exit, which does not conflict with the warehouse.

In order not to disturb the sleep of others, Lu Xiangyin got up to check the snow on the roof, but he was careful and did not light a lamp. Fortunately, there were lanterns hanging on the corridor, so it was not completely dark.

That night, shortly after dark, Lu Xiangyin went up to the roof of the second floor to check the snow accumulation. Just as he was about to turn around and prepare to go back to the house, he saw a person walking towards the back door.

You know, because of the snow, everyone closed their doors early and went to bed. How could anyone go out?

The man was wrapped in a thick black cloak. After opening the door, he got into a carriage. The carriage quickly left the back alley, leaving only deep ruts.

Because from the top of the building, you could only see the carriage going away in the distance, but you couldn't see clearly who got on the carriage.

But Lu Xiangyin felt something was wrong. After all, there was a warehouse next to it, and he was afraid that someone was doing harm to his warehouse.

Lu Xiangyin was brought here from the incense shop. If he lost his warehouse again, he would be embarrassed to see anyone.

What's more, he is working very hard at his current job.

After a few more words, Lu Xiangyin returned to the topic.

"You can't catch up if you chase, but I always feel sad and don't dare to fall asleep."

So, he simply stood up and made a pot of tea, listening to what was going on outside.

When the sky was dimming, he finally heard some footsteps outside, and he hurriedly turned off the light and went out of the room.

When he quickly walked outside, he saw no one, but there were some wet footprints on the ground stained by snow.

Following the footprints, I soon found that the footprints disappeared at the door of Ma Hui's house.

Lu Xiangyin was a little confused. What on earth was Ma Hui doing in the middle of the night? It's only been two hours since I left?
You know, it is not an exaggeration to say that Ma Hui is the number one person in the incense shop now. After squeezing Lu Xiangyin away, the shopkeeper was also marginalized. Apart from the gold and silver in the incense shop, which she cannot touch, she is truly the leader of everyone. Listen to her orders. As she became more powerful and trusted by Qin Xiang, anyone who disobeyed her would be severely punished. Therefore, everyone was afraid of her.

But at the same time, I also envied her, because Ma Hui was really smart. No matter how tricky the customer was, she could be persuaded by Ma Hui, and she finally bought a lot of things and left happily.

The more capable a person is, the harder it is sometimes to see what he wants? Or, the heart is a little big.

This is Qin Xiang's idea.

She didn't think these things were made by Lu Xiangyin to deceive her, because she had also seen Ma Hui's changes.

It was an indescribable change from the inside out. Qin Xi knew that Ma Hui acted like this because he had someone in his heart, rather than the satisfaction and joy that money could bring.

Qin Xiang knew that Ma Hui was smart and had ideas, and she knew about it in Qijiang County.

She admires such a woman who is strong and self-reliant in a difficult situation, so she is willing to give her more opportunities, more trust and training.

However, if Ma Hui just has someone she wants to spend her life with, Qin Xiang will only bless him and not interfere.

"Later, I noticed several times that she would go out every four days, very regularly."

Qinggu said from the side: "Could it be that Ma Hui found a lover who is not easy to tell others, so she is so secretive and hiding?"

Compared to Lu Xiangyin, Qinggu obviously liked Ma Hui more. They were both women and they all came from their hometowns.

Qin Xiang thought the same way. If it was just a relationship issue, she wouldn't be willing to criticize her more, but it was somewhat inappropriate for her to go out at night.

She said to Lu Xiangyin: "I know about this. I will send someone to investigate. Don't tell anyone about this yet, and there is no need to continue to monitor Ma Hui!"

Lu Xiangyin nodded, sent Qin Xiang and Qinggu away, and then turned back to work!
As soon as Qin Xiang came out, her face became serious: "If Manager Lu is right, then tonight will be the day when Ma Hui goes out again."

Qinggu wanted to defend Ma Hui a few words, but after thinking about it, he decided to forget it and said, "Why don't we send someone to follow her and see what she did? If it's not harmful to my wife, why not help her?"

Qin Xiang glanced at Qing Gu and smiled: "You feel sorry for her, but are you moved by the small favors she usually gives you?"

"This servant is in charge of my wife's things. Is this someone who has never seen the world? How can I buy it with a little favor?" Qinggu knew that his wife was joking, so he pouted and pretended to be unhappy, which made Qin Xiang pinch him. He pinched her cheek and couldn't help but laugh.

That night, Qin Xiang slept for a while, played chess with Xiao Chenyu, and waited for Sun Jifei to come back with the message.

"You said Ma Hui probably has a man. Is she a married woman?"

Xiao Chenyu dropped a piece and asked Qin Xiang.

"Even if you have a family, that doesn't mean you can't marry Ma Hui and go home as your aunt. Why are you so sneaky?"

"Is it because you have a high status? It's not convenient for you to marry a woman who is very public?"

Qin Xian still shook her head: "Ma Hui is only a businessman and sells goods, and she is not a woman from Fireworks and Willow Lane, so she won't be so cautious. If she is a person of high status, how can she fall in love with Ma Hui?"

After all, Ma Hui's appearance is not very outstanding!

The two of them chatted and started playing chess. When Qin Xiang felt sleepy and wanted to stop waiting, news came from outside.

Sun Jifei came back in person, and Qin Xian hurriedly asked him to sit down and said.

Sun Jifei sat down, took the hot tea handed over by Qinggu, and said, "This Ma Hui is indeed going to meet a man."

Qin Xiang and Xiao Chenyu looked at each other, and at the same time looked at Sun Jifei, who obviously hadn't finished speaking.

"Does Madam know who she met?"
