Peach Blossom at the Bottom of the Fan

Chapter 139 Blind Date
Su Jingchun smiled, got up as expected, and kindly reached out to hold her.

Opening Su Jingchun's hand with a "snap", Gu Sixiao still wanted to blame him for his frivolity, so she heard someone knock on the door outside.

"Hush..." Su Jingchun raised his index finger, signaling her not to speak.

He jumped out of bed, tidied his clothes, walked out the door, and closed the door behind him.

Su Mei stood in front of the door with her head down, not intending to look inside at all.

Clutching her chest, Gu Sixiao was glad that it was Su Mei outside, if it was Su Zhu, she would probably poke her head inside to see what happened.

"My lord, Mrs. He has already left. From my point of view, she doesn't seem to be able to tell that matter easily. It won't work without strong medicine."

"Let her get closer to you, and she won't hide anything from you anymore." Su Jingchun said lightly, but the meaning in his words was already obvious.

But I didn't expect Su Mei to say: "Mrs. He refused to tell that matter, most of the time she still thinks about the relationship between husband and wife. If she and He Zhifu are allowed to fall out, maybe she will have no scruples and can do He Zhifu. You have spoken out all the evil things. My son, why don't you send a maiko to He Zhifu!"

Su Jingchun's eyes flickered slightly, he looked at Su Mei, and after a moment of silence, he said in a low voice: "Su Mei, you are my subordinate and know my rules. If you fall into it yourself and become a useless chess game, don't blame me for not thinking about the master." Servant love."

"I understand." Looking up, Su Mei pursed her lips, but her eyes turned cold little by little, "I just pity her, and I don't have any selfishness."

"I didn't say you were in love, but you should know that Mrs. He is not your mother, and she is not worthy of pity."

Lowering her head, Su Mei gritted her teeth and whispered, "I know..."

Looking at him, Su Jingchun said calmly: "Since you mentioned it, then I will do it according to your wishes. You can choose the candidate."

With a low reply, Su Mei turned around and stepped back, never glancing at the room from the beginning to the end.

Su Jingchun watched Su Mei's back silently, and after a long time, he pushed the door open and entered.

When he entered the room, Gu Sixiao had already put on his shoes and arranged his clothes.

Seeing him coming in, I was a little worried, "Does Su Mei like Mrs. He? Also, people are not sages, how can they be ruthless? This time, it's also embarrassing Su Mei."

"That's not the case." Su Jingchun shook his head, thinking about it, but sighed in a low voice, "Su Mei is not a child of the Su family. When she was young, she was also a wealthy family. It's just that his father spoiled his concubine and killed his wife, which killed his mother." Su Mei was only ten years old that year, and she actually stabbed that concubine to death after her mother's funeral. If I hadn't happened to meet him and rescued him, he would have frozen to death on the way to escape..."

Covering her mouth, Gu Sixiao never imagined that Su Mei, who looks as handsome as a woman, would have such a past.

"It's not just Su Mei, Su Zhu and Su Song are also from poor backgrounds..."

"There are so many poor people in this world!" Sighing softly, Gu Sixiao looked at Su Jingchun, and suddenly raised his eyebrows, "Mr. Su was born rich and powerful, how do you know what is pitiful?"

Su Jingchun lowered his eyes, just smiled and said nothing.Seeing his appearance, Gu Sixiao felt that she had gone too far.

Standing up, she was embarrassed to apologize, turned around and left, walked to the door and turned back: "Thank you..."

If Su Mei saw her just now, she would really be ashamed to face others.

After leaving the theater in a hurry, Gu Sixiao still felt her face was hot, so she took a breath, and wiped her face with her hands for a long time before she felt that her expression was normal.

Looking up, seeing the carriage slowly passing by, Gu Sixiao subconsciously followed two steps.

It was the Xue family's carriage, and Xue Wanhua went to the shop in this carriage today.How did you stop there at this time?

The carriage stopped at the door of the opposite restaurant, and the one who got off was indeed Xue Wanhua, but he was not dressed in men's clothes like when he went out in the morning.

Xue Wanhua mostly wears men's clothes in the shop, although everyone knows she is a woman at a glance, she thinks that is more convenient.

But at this moment, she was wearing women's clothing, and it was obviously carefully dressed.

What's even more strange is that the person who is with her at this moment is actually Aunt Yun.

Feeling suspicious, Gu Sixiao was hesitating whether to go up to greet her, but Xue Wanhua had already seen her in a blink of an eye.

Seems to be startled, but then Xue Wanhua laughed.

Seeing Xue Wanhua waving at her, Gu Sixiao quickly ran over.

"Little lady, what a coincidence!" Aunt Yun smiled, but looking at her expression, she didn't seem to want Gu Sixiao to stay longer.

"It's good that Hua'er is here, help my sister take a look..." Xue Wanhua smiled slightly, more gentle than usual.

"How can this be done? This is to be—the little lady is here, isn't it appropriate?"

"What's inappropriate? Aunt Yun, Hua'er is my sister, can she still harm me?"

Xue Wanhua pulled Gu Sixiao away with a smile, and took her upstairs without waiting for Aunt Yun to speak again.

Although she was puzzled, she didn't want to ask too many questions. When Gu Sixiao followed Xue Wanhua into the private room, she still didn't understand what happened.

Is this private room too big?Why do they need to be separated by a screen, but even though they are separated by a screen, there is still a gap, and if you look from the inside to the outside, you can vaguely see the outside.

Gu Sixiao was surprised, but Xue Wanhua didn't seem to notice that the screen was placed improperly, and pulled her straight into the table inside the screen to sit down.

"Hua'er, Mr. Su is a good person..."

Gu Sixiao turned around, for some reason Xue Wanhua suddenly mentioned Su Jingchun again.

Are you still reluctant to let go of your affection for him? !
Eloquently moving, Gu Sixiao wanted to say something, but found that she didn't know what to say.

Xue Wanhua didn't wait for her to speak, and said in a low voice: "I wanted to talk to you about these things before. Mr. Su is a pitiful person just like you and me. You must treat him well in the future..."

"Okay, what does sister say these words? Who am I? Why don't I wait? Besides, Mr. Su came from a wealthy family, how can there be any pity?"

"No matter how rich and powerful you are, when you feel bitter." Holding Gu Sixiao's hand, Xue Wanhua said in a deep voice: "Although I don't know much, many people say that Mrs. Su did it to save her. Mr. Su will be killed by someone..."

With a sudden shock in his heart, Gu Sixiao could hardly believe his ears, "You said you were killed? Su Jingchun's mother—was killed?"

Nodding her head, Xue Wanhua said in a deep voice: "At that time, I was just studying business with my father, and I heard people talking about the Su family, saying that despite the current prosperity of the Su family, the daughter has also become a side concubine, but Madam Su sacrificed her life for it. ——It is said that the daughter of the Su family was brought into the palace that year, but she was just a wife. After more than a year, she became pregnant, and the prince specially allowed relatives to visit the palace. Mrs. Su took the 13-year-old Mr. Su to Beijing Visiting relatives, but I didn’t want an assassin to appear suddenly at the reception banquet in the palace. Mr. Su bravely rescued the prince, but his mother blocked an arrow for him and died on the spot..."

Raising her hand and wiping the corners of her eyes, Xue Wanhua mourned: "Because of this, Prince Rui requested the canonization of the Su family as a side concubine, and treated the Su family generously. But no matter how rich and rich it is, how can we get back my mother's life?" ?! Hua'er, my sister lost her mother when she was young, and she knows how painful it is to be without a mother—"

Turning to look at Gu Sixiao's gloomy face, Xue Wanhua hurriedly said: "It's my sister who made a slip of the tongue, our sisters are all suffering the same fate - without mother by my side..."

Turning to look at Xue Wanhua, Gu Sixiao looked a little numb, "My sister said that Madam Su died in front of Su Jingchun?!"

Thinking of what she said just now that Su Jingchun didn't know what "poor" was, Gu Sixiao wanted to slap herself.

How could she say something like that?It's -- it's too much!
Standing up abruptly, Gu Sixiao wanted to return to the theater, but just as she stood up, Aunt Yun came in.

"Here they come, Second Lady, they are here..."

Who's coming? !

Before Gu Sixiao understood, Aunt Yun had already walked around the screen and said anxiously: "Take a good look at each other in a while, if you like it, just tell me, if you don't like it, it's okay, just look for it later."

Smiling slightly, Xue Wanhua didn't speak, she was not as shy as an ordinary woman at all.

Gu Sixiao finally understood.

So this is a blind date?She also knows that there are many people who will secretly see each other before getting engaged.

But that's all in secret, there are very few people who look at each other in restaurants like this openly.

"Sit down!"

Xue Wanhua said lightly, although her voice was not loud, Gu Sixiao sat down in response.

Looking at Xue Wanhua silently, her expression was a bit strange.

Glancing at her, Xue Wanhua just smiled and said: "It's a matter of recruiting a son-in-law sooner or later. It's a good thing to do it sooner. The more descendants the Xue family has, the better."

Is it because Xue Wanying is pregnant? !With this level of reliance, Li Chongyang, who joined Xue's family, would definitely seize power with Xue Wanhua, so she wanted to recruit a son-in-law to come and conceive an heir as soon as possible.

Although she wanted to understand the joints, Gu Sixiao still felt sore in her heart.

Hearing footsteps, she turned her head and saw the young man coming in through the screen.

Although there was a woman in heavy clothes beside him, but Gu Sixiao just stared at him at a glance.

He should be a scholar. He looks very gentle, but his manner is reserved and petty. He should be born in a poor family.

"Sit down!" Aunt Yun greeted the two of them with a smile, and when they were all seated, she talked to the matchmaker with a smile, and then asked the man "who is his name, where does he live, and who are they?" and so on.

In fact, I already knew these things a long time ago, and asking now is just to let the man talk and get acquainted with each other.

The young man answered one by one, occasionally raised his head to glance at the screen, then immediately lowered his head.

"Xiaosheng also studied for a few years, but he just failed the exam, and he is still just a child. I am really ashamed..."

Gu Sixiao listened carefully, but Xue Wanhua who was sitting beside her just looked at her.

"What does Hua'er think of this Mu Feng?" Xue Wanhua asked in a low voice, still smiling.

Looking back, Gu Sixiao hesitated for a moment before saying: "Little sister can't tell, but I just feel a little petty..."

That is, no matter how low the voice is, it can still be heard outside the screen.

Turning his gaze, Mu Feng had already looked ashamed.
