Rebirth of the scholarly lady

Chapter 142 Hu Yu
Nan Surou smiled: "Is the fourth brother here to find his adoptive father?"

Hu Yu opened his mouth, sipped for a while, and then said, "Yes, he's inside, right?"

Nan Surou's cat eyes shone with a strange light, "Fourth brother, foster father is very busy and has just led Qi Jianke out. If you are uneasy, tell me about the fact that you were cheated of 30 taels of gold by that woman a few days ago." Listen to him, there is no need, he already knows about this matter, then, I will take my leave first."

Nan Surou seemed to be saying something serious, so she left Hu Yu's side.

Hearing Nan Surou's words, Hu Yu froze on the spot until Nan Surou left, he finally came back to his senses, his expression was extremely disturbed, he just felt that Nan Surou's weird eyes caught him After seeing it clearly, his whole body was as stiff as if he had been poured with a large bucket of cold water. Even his long coat couldn't bring him any warmth.

Hu Yu turned around, looked at Nan Surou's back who had gone away, and couldn't help feeling the urge to cry.

Hu Yu found that his fingers were trembling, and he even felt that they were about to leave his palm.

At this time, the lamp-handler serving in the study saw Hu Yu, and immediately came over and said, "Fourth young master, the master just went out."

Hearing this sentence, Hu Yu felt an inexplicable resentment, glared at the boy, and screamed, "Get lost—"

The boy didn't know where he offended Hu Yu, and was so frightened that he couldn't speak. However, Hu Yu has always been known for his arrogance, and it wouldn't be strange for him to lose his temper inexplicably.

The boy's terrified expression was reflected in Hu Yu's eyes, and Hu Yu woke up suddenly, and immediately left without looking back.

Hu Yu walked very fast, and walked faster and faster.

Suddenly, Hu Yu stopped abruptly, his eyes widened in uneasiness, as if he had seen the other end of fate, and then, he exhaled a breath of white air that heralded ice cold.

His gaze passed through the snow-covered hemlock trees in the courtyard and was fixed there. Except for the continuous falling snowflakes, everything seemed to be still.

Hu Yu stared at the courtyard pavilion not far away named Su Yuexuan.

He stood there, trembling all over, feeling a dull pain all over his body. He took another step to observe the environment around him, only to realize that he came to Suyuexuan unknowingly, which itself is located in the whole Hu The most remote part of the mansion is sparsely populated.

Seeing Su Yuexuan, Hu Yu immediately thought of Nan Surou, thinking of Nan Surou, Nan Surou's words like the voice of hell were endlessly looping in his ears like annoying spells.

Such words reminded Hu Yu of that unbearable memory, that woman named Gong Xi—his first love, who was also the one who betrayed and hurt him extremely.

How long has it been since that happened?Days, or months?The concept of time was somewhat confused, and Hu Yu panicked.

There was a sharp light in Hu Yu's eyes. He looked around first, and after confirming that there were no idlers around, he shifted his gaze, fixedly stared in the direction of Su Yuexuan, and walked quickly towards Su Yuexuan.

Nan Surou sat quietly on the soft couch in the room, touching the teacup thoughtfully, after a while, Dong Liu from outside came to report, saying that the Fourth Young Master had come.

Nan Surou's eyes flashed, only to see the fourth young master Hu Yu standing there under the gazebo not far from the window, with a gloomy face, planning to barge in without waiting for a reply.

At this moment, Lan Xin and Xia Shi ran over in a panic, trying to stop Hu Yu from intruding, trying to persuade them, but Hu Yu was full of viciousness, flung them away with a flick of his sleeve, and rushed in inner room.

Seeing Hu Yu approaching, Nan Surou didn't become angry from embarrassment. She didn't even get up from the soft couch, but held a teacup and said calmly, "What is fourth brother doing? Those who don't know think that I'm here What the hell happened."

Hu Yu rushed in so recklessly, but seeing that Nan Surou was still so calm, he felt a little shy, and swallowed back the questioning, and replaced it with a roundabout opening sentence, "Please forgive me as a brother for the first time. When I came to visit you, I couldn't give you a decent gift, because my aunt Sun and I have been cheated out of our savings over the years."

Originally, Hu Yu planned to question Nan Surou, asking if their father had really learned about the fact that he was cheated by a woman, but now seeing Nan Surou's calm appearance, he suddenly had another idea. Analyzing the rumors, Nan Surou is not easy, at least, he thinks that Nan Surou's words must have a purpose.

After Hu Yu said these words, he glanced at Dongliu who was beside Nan Surou, his eyes hinted that he didn't want to speak in front of Dongliu.

But Nan Surou was not soft-hearted towards him, pretended not to accept his hint, and said: "Your foster father told me about your misfortune today, he is very disappointed in you, but he said, let me help you as much as possible, If I can be of any help, you can just ask, after all my adoptive father is your father, and you are my elder brother, I will never forget this honor."

There was a lot of ridicule and reprimand in her words, reprimanding Hu Yu for not caring about her face and reputation, trespassing on the pavilion, he called her "sister" in his mouth, but did not give corresponding love and respect .

Hearing this sentence, Hu Yu turned pale, and said bluntly: "About this matter, can I talk to you alone?"

No one in the Hu family can be completely trusted.

This sentence flashed across Nan Surou's mind, she darkened her face, shook her head, and said: "Dongliu and Yunrong are the people I am willing to entrust my life to, they are not only my handmaidens, they are also my most important friends , but you and I are nominal brothers and sisters who cannot respect and trust each other, I will not send them away, even if you are the Fourth Young Master of the Hu Mansion, I will not allow you to insult their dignity."

This sentence not only shocked Hu Yu, but also moved Dong Liu and Yun Rong.

Nan Surou's words showed that Kanehu already knew that Hu Yu was cheated of money. In fact, it was not a big deal to Kanehu. It was Hu Yu's own feeling that he was very important that caused the current situation.

Now that Nan Surou already knew, Hu Yu didn't want to beat around the bush.

He could see that his father had put Nan Surou in a higher position than the others. Nan Surou's status in the Hu Mansion was even higher than that of the eldest son Hu Jun, which meant that Nan Surou's ability was stronger than Hu Jun's. , at least Hu Yu thought so.

Hu Yu took a deep breath of the cold air, and after a few seconds, he said in an extremely quiet voice: "I have followed the steward of the mansion since I was a child, and I have learned many things about the steward and even my father's business, but My father only let me be the shopkeeper of the little cashier."

Nan Surou made a sympathetic gesture, "You must feel very painful and hurt your self-esteem. Your brothers and sisters must have said that you are useless, you can only settle accounts, and you can't be a businessman."
