Chapter 193 Where's the Wine?
Who says that a young lady from a prominent family cannot hit others? Miss Shen did it. Shen Qingyu held a purple bamboo flute in her hand and hit Ming Liu directly without mercy. Knowing that Nan Rongyan and Du Ruxi loved each other was one thing, but being annoyed was another.
Ming Liu was so scared that he ran away with his head in his hands, begging for mercy again and again, muttering in dissatisfaction, "How could this future young lady beat people without any reason? If the young master married her in the future, wouldn't it be like marrying a tigress and bringing her home, where she would be bullied every day."
"Your son is not the only man in this world. I heard that Yunlu Academy has countless young talents, haha..."
Shen Qingyu chuckled, and Ming Liu was so scared that he almost cried. What did the future young lady mean by this? Wow, is she going to have an affair?
Shen Qingyu flicked his sleeves and walked out in a leisurely manner the way he came.
Ming Liu wanted to stop her, but he didn't dare to, and he couldn't stop her. Once Miss Shen became stubborn, even the young master was helpless, let alone him.
Woo woo, what should I do, should he follow me or not?
Ming Liu hesitated for a while, but finally followed.
Except for the few dormitories where Master Nanrong lives in the north, the remaining dozens of dormitories are closely connected.
"so tired…"
"Yes, Master Du actually asked us to clean so many stone steps that my legs are so weak that I can't even walk anymore."
"Go away! Aren't I tired? This is the first time I've ever held a broom since I was a child. If my fair and strict elder brother finds out that I've brought shame to our Qi family and have been punished to sweep the stone steps, he will definitely skin me alive..."
From a distance, Shen Qingyu heard the complaints of several scholars. The voice of one of them sounded quite familiar. It should be Qi Huaifang, the second son of the Qi family.
Following the sound, Shen Qingyu quietly followed.
What does this Second Miss Shen want to do?
Ming Liu looked puzzled and hurriedly followed Shen Qingyu.
Those scholars in blue robes walked together, and Qi Huaifang walked in front. After separating from those scholars, he did not go directly back to his dormitory, but went to another place.
Shen Qingyu was curious for a moment, so he kept silent about Mingliu and continued to follow Qi Huaifang. Qi Huaifang seemed to be in a hurry, so he must have something important to tell him.
Behind the school is a small hill.
On the hill, pale pink datura flowers are in full bloom.
It is said that the more beautiful a flower is, the more poisonous it is, and this Datura is one of them.
"Seventh brother, you are so mean. Every time you get into trouble, we are the ones who take the brunt of it, but you just keep it clean! No, next time Master Du asks me about it, I will definitely give you up. We brothers should share the hardships together." Qi Huaifang walked to a lush pine tree and complained to a man who was sleeping with his back against the pine tree.
The man's ink-black long hair was tied up with just a jade hairpin, while a few strands hung down casually, showing his unrestrained and romantic character.
"Where's the wine?"
The man's deep voice has an intoxicating sweetness.
It’s Xiao Qingye!
Xiao Qingye really knew Qi Huaifang.
Shen Qingyu lowered her eyes. Just now, when she saw the jade pendant tied around Qi Huaifang's waist at the entrance of Yunlu Academy, she guessed that Qi Huaifang and Xiao Qingye had a special relationship.
She had not inquired about the jade pendant. She had heard the servants in the mansion mention it, but she did not take it seriously. However, the jade pendant was very valuable. Shen Ruyan found it specially for Xiao Qingye, but Xiao Qingye always disdained these precious jade jewels. At that time, she saw him playing with it in his hands, but a few days later, the jade pendant disappeared. She did not care too much at the time. After all, Xiao Qingye spent money lavishly, so any rare thing was the same to him.
The Shen family and the Qi family are sworn enemies. The thousands of tea seedlings that were destroyed in the Shen family’s tea plantation in Yuntaishan were all purchased from the Qi family.
If Xiao Qingye knew Qi Huaifang from the beginning, then did he take any action in this battle between imperial merchants?
Xiao Qingye, should I believe you?
Shen Qingyu didn't care that the Shen family lost power and became unknown in Jinling City, but what she cared about was what role Xiao Qingye played in this incident. If Xiao Qingye was lying to her in this world, who else could she trust?
"Brother Xiao Qi, you've been drunk for several days. If you drink any more, I'm afraid the teacher won't be able to hide it." Qi Huaifang handed the wine hidden in his sleeve to Xiao Qingye, "Isn't it just a woman? If Brother Xiao Qi likes her, I'll go find eight or ten of them right away. I'll have whatever you want."
"Yes, isn't she just a woman?" Xiao Qingye picked up the wine and drank it in big gulps. Then, he staggered to his feet and came to a big rock under the pine tree.
Several sheets of rice paper were spread on the big rock.
Bang...the wine jug fell to the ground and broke into pieces.
Master Xiao Liu held a jade pen in his hand and wrote on the rice paper:
Buy flowers and carry wine, a few lonely wind and moon, hibiscus flowers look tired; embrace the fragrant quilt, pillow envelope flowers, deep sleep awakened by good dreams, smoke and waves are vast, only the wind fills my sleeves...
"Brother Xiao Qi, you should also be more open-minded. In this world, love is the most annoying thing. Not to mention you, even the exiled immortal Young Master Nanrong has been moved recently. Tsk tsk, you don't know, just now when I was cleaning the stone steps, I saw Senior Brother Nanrong bringing a young man into the academy, hehe... Although the young man was dressed in men's clothes, I have been following you, brother Qi, in places of brothels for many years, and I can still recognize whether it is a man or a woman at a glance. I guess that the young man is probably a woman. Alas, Senior Brother Nanrong is really strange. He left the beautiful Lady Du and brought an ordinary-looking woman to the academy. What is he going to do..."
Qi Huaifang kept talking at the side, but he didn't notice that Xiao Qingye, who was writing on rice paper with a pen, suddenly stopped.
"Did she see you?"
Xiao Qingye panicked and almost dropped the pen in his hand. According to her personality, she would not give up until she got to the bottom of the matter. Since she saw Qi Huaifang, she must have become suspicious.
"Yes, I even said a few words to her." Qi Huaifang looked puzzled. "As for her appearance, she is just average, but her eyes are quite spiritual."
"Brother Xiao Qi, this is a gift from you!" Qi Huaifang saw Xiao Qingye snatch the jade pendant from his waist. This jade pendant was extremely valuable. He had only worn it for a few days, so why did he ask for it back?
"Xiao Qingye, don't you think it's too late?" If Nan Rongyan hadn't brought her to Yunlu Academy and hadn't happened to meet Qi Huaifang, she would never have discovered that Shen Ruyan was not the only one who was plotting against the Shen family.
A cold female voice was heard with sarcasm. Shen Qingyu, dressed in a lavender dress, stood among the datura flowers all over the ground. She looked at Xiao Qingye coldly, sadness hidden in her eyes.
