Chapter 69
She frowned, "Why do you have nothing? You are smart and capable, and you have seen through even Meng Yuanqiao's perverted tricks. Besides, you are only sixteen this year, and you have read a lot of poetry and books. You are handsome and have a bright future." It is limitless." In the future, the power will overwhelm the sky, even if he is a traitor.

Chu Jinyu didn't speak, a look of disappointment flashed in his eyes.

Yes, disappointment.

Bu Youran only took a glance and noticed it, but it was also deeply imprinted in her heart.

All day long, he's been obsessed with that expression, a look he's never seen on his face, and he can't even imagine it will appear on his face.

On this day, Bu Youran and everyone in their village received a notice of a happy event, that is, the daughter-in-law of Tong's family at the west end of the village gave birth to a son, and the whole family was happy, so they planned to invite the whole village to his house for a drink.

Bu Youran was not interested, and thought of sending a gift and let it go.But he didn't have any money on him, so it was not appropriate to ask Chu Jinyu for it.In desperation, she had no choice but to go to Li Yan and ask him to help buy a gift in her name.

When I was about to get home, I saw a petite figure hovering at the door of my second aunt's house, peeping in from the crack of the door from time to time.

Bu Youran thought that the villagers in this village were relatively simple and there were never any bad people, so she walked over tentatively.

Unexpectedly, the woman just turned around.

Bu Youran stopped and was stunned, "Xiaoqing?"

The woman raised her head and looked over, and immediately charged with mixed feelings of grief and joy, "Aunt Bu!"

The two of them exchanged old-fashioned greetings for a while, and then Bu Youran told Xiaoqing that the second aunt and the others were not at home because they were going to the wedding banquet, so she asked her to go to Chu Jinyu's place to rest first.

Bu Youran ordered her servants to cook her meals and brought some fruits and snacks.

Xiaoqing made up for it first, the stomach that has been hungry for several days has already made her a little exhausted.

"How come you don't even have any money?" Bu Youran couldn't believe that a maid from a Shangshu family was penniless, not to mention that when she came to Dian County, Xiaoqing still had money.

Xiaoqing looked at the dishes served and kept swallowing her saliva. She complained, "You don't know how difficult it is. Since you left, many things have happened in the Song family. The young lady married Li Xiang's son, the young master He was also promoted, which is supposed to be a lot of good things, but not long after, there was a letter saying that the master was corrupt, taking bribes privately, and all kinds of crimes were overwhelming. My wife went to find Li Xiang, but now how dare he do the same as before? All of a sudden, the old and young masters were implicated. In the end, the master was imprisoned in the sky prison, and all the money of the Song family, including jewelry, was seized, and even those with us were confiscated. A close-fitting person may also suffer."

"What about Miss?" Bu Youran picked up a chicken leg and handed it to her.

Xiaoqing took a bite, her mouth was full of oil, she mumbled, "Miss...Miss is not having a good time... She, since she married Li Wanjin, she has always been in pairs since the beginning, and she loves Miss in every possible way. Ever since someone in the court impeached the master, she was neglected little by little until the master was imprisoned. In order to get rid of himself, Li Wanjin abolished the lady's main wife and married... I can't remember, the lady is living like a year now."

Bu Youran frowned, "Why have so many things happened in just a few months..."

Xiaoqing nodded, picking up vegetables with her chopsticks, "Second young master is also very miserable. He has moved out and is now penniless. I saw him the day I left...he actually... robbed him of his money." The steamed stuffed buns to eat... He has never lived like this... He always stretches out his hands for clothes and opens his mouth for food."

Seeing Xiaoqing choked up in tears, Bu Youran couldn't help taking out the handkerchief and handing it to her.

Xiaoqing wiped her tears and looked around, "I think the second young master and young master Jinyu were always together in the past. At that time, young master Jinyu lived under the fence, and Madam always deliberately cheated on him, but now...it's the other way around ..."

Bu Youran sighed, "Tonight and tonight..."

It is estimated that Mrs. Song would never have imagined that Chu Jinyu would still be well-clothed and well-fed after leaving the Song Mansion, even without any scruples. The cost of food and clothing was hundreds of times higher than that in the Song Mansion.

If Mrs. Song was lucky enough to continue to live, seeing Chu Jinyu climbing up step by step, she would be so angry that her eyes would pop out.

Bu Youran thought of this, a trace of sarcasm flashed across his face.

Xiaoqing quickly cleaned up all the food on the table, "Aunt Bu, I have a request."

Bu Youran turned to look at her.

"Can I stay and serve you and Young Master Jinyu?" Xiaoqing wiped the grease stains from the corner of her mouth with the back of her hand, "I know you can definitely make the decision!"

Bu Youran smiled and said, "Why?"

"Master Jinyu found me in private not long after you left, and asked about your whereabouts, and then ordered him to be deposed as a Marquis the next day. In addition, the downfall of the left minister also had an impact on his reputation. At that time, there was a wealthy businessman in the capital who came to Song Mansion specifically to buy Master Jinyu, and offered a price of more than 20 silver. Later, it turned out that even the prince in the court was willing to accept Master Jinyu as the guest of honor. There are really many high-ranking officials and dignitaries in the Risong Mansion."

"What happened later?" Bu Youran was shocked to hear that, why Chu Jinyu never said it.

"Later? Later, of course, Master Jinyu disappeared and came to look for you..."

So, under what pressure did he return to the capital?
At this moment, Bu Youran's heart feels like it has been pricked by countless needles, and it hurts faintly.

"Aunt Bu, did you hear what I just said?" Xiaoqing stretched out her hand and waved in front of her eyes.

Bu Youran was dazed, "What, what?"

"I want to stay by your side. It's not that I dislike my second uncle's poor family. I'm just afraid that their life will be stressful. I don't need Yueyin..."

Bu Youran interrupted, "That's not what it means, you know, I..."

"Youran, Youran?" Before he finished speaking, Li Yan hurried in from outside.

Bu Youran stood up and greeted her, "What's wrong?"

Li Yan supported the door frame panting, "Tong, Tong, Tong Zilong found it..."

"Where is it?" Bu Youran asked in surprise.

"It's...that's..."

"It's the son born to Tong's daughter-in-law today, named Tong Zilong!" Chu Jinyu also walked in from outside the door.
