Chapter 233 Departure 2
"Even if she is not given face, she dare not not teach well." Although he knew that what she said made sense, he just didn't want to see her trying to please others.
She is the one he holds in his palm!
"Do you want a one-time cooperation or a long-term one?"
Liu Yu said lightly,
Mr. Chen Sanye stopped talking and began to skillfully make tea for Liu Yu.
The same tea, the same way of brewing, but in his hands, it becomes inexplicably more fragrant, slightly bitter at first but sweet in the mouth afterwards, with an endless aftertaste.
She hung the car curtains, looked at the beautiful scenery of colorful flowers outside the window, drank the tea he brewed himself, closed her eyes comfortably, and felt that this was the peak of her life.
Near noon, the carriage reached the border of the capital. When they arrived at the post station, they stopped to rest for the first time.
After Liu Yu was helped down from the carriage by Mr. Chen San, he saw that in Mr. Chen Wu's carriage behind him, there were not only Mr. Chen Wu, Yao, and Chen Xiyao, but also Qin Ke.
Master Chen Wu glared at the tactless Qin Ke with resentment, but since he was in front of others, he didn't say anything. He followed Liu Yu and Master Chen San in front of him and walked into the post station.
"Gentlemen, would you like to have lunch or a snack?" The waiter came hurriedly. Seeing that the gentlemen were of extraordinary bearing and their wives were of elegant appearance, he immediately went upstairs to welcome them.
"Have a meal."
There were so many of them that one table couldn't accommodate them all, so they had to split into two tables. The women went to the adjacent table on their own accord.
Master Chen San didn't say anything, and the masters sat down in the middle.
The waiter handed the menu to Mr. Chen Sanye.
"Give me some roast duck and some steamed braised pork..."
Mr. Chen Sanye named several dishes in a row.
"Give me another serving of roasted rabbit." Qin Ke suddenly interrupted and named a dish. After ordering, he did not forget to glance at Chen Xiyao.
Chen Xiyao felt his gaze, but pretended she couldn't see his head and didn't turn around.
Everything was served very quickly. Looking at the table full of fish and meat, it was such a rich feast!
Everyone sighed, knowing in their hearts that this might be the best meal before leaving Beijing.
"If I remember correctly, Third Sister-in-law likes roast duck! Then this roast rabbit seems to be Xiyao's favorite?"
Master Chen Wu approached Master Chen San and suddenly said this.
Chen Xiyao, who was picking up the roasted rabbit meat, withdrew her hand as if she had been caught.
But at this moment, everyone's attention was on her because of Master Chen Wu's words.
Her reaction was completely a case of trying to cover up one's own guilt.
Thinking quickly, she turned her wrist and her chopsticks fell on the dish closest to her. She picked up a piece and put it into her bowl.
No matter what it is, just stuff it into your mouth.
Even the stubborn Chen Wuye realized that something was wrong, and he asked:
"Sixth sister, don't you hate eating eggs the most?"
"Uh…"
Chen Xiyao's scalp felt hot. She looked at the fifth brother who suddenly had an extra tongue and said angrily:
"Can I change the flavor?"
Master Chen Wu suddenly felt that his sister's eyes were a little creepy, but he was not the kind of person who liked to use his brain, so he smiled and nodded:
"If my sister likes it, then of course it's fine. In that case, I will eat this rabbit meat."
After saying that, he brought the whole rabbit, along with the plate, to their table.
But he did not forget to pull off one of its legs, stood up and put it in Yao's bowl behind him: "Wife, this is a good thing, very delicious." Every time he ordered it before, it was basically snatched away by his younger sister.
"Thank you sir."
Yao did notice the awkward atmosphere between her sister-in-law and Qin Ke, but she was never one to gossip.
Since no one pointed it out to her, she simply pretended not to know and gladly accepted the food from her husband, not thinking there was anything wrong with it.
Master Chen Wu was very happy to receive his wife's thanks, and planned to take off the other leg.
Qin Ke watched as the rabbit he ordered for Chen Xiyao fell into the mouths of Mr. Chen Wu and his wife. He didn't know where he got the courage from, and whether he would embarrass himself in front of Mr. Chen San, so he acted quickly.
He grabbed the roasted rabbit on the plate and put it in his arms.
"You kid..." Uncle Chen Wu suddenly opened his eyes wide and stared at Qin Ke. His eyes looked like he wanted to eat someone, as if he was saying, "You dare to steal my rabbit? Put it down."
Qin Ke was afraid of Master Chen San, but not so much of Master Chen Wu. He glared back, as if to say, I won’t let it go. This is what I ordered, so I want to eat it…
Mr. Chen San couldn't bear to watch it anymore: "Okay, we have to hurry on after we finish eating."
Master Chen Wu snorted and said compassionately:
"I'm your elder, so I won't bother with a young boy like you." After saying that, he stretched out his chopsticks towards the plate in front of Master Chen San.
But he was stopped by Master Chen San with a chopstick. Master Chen San stood up and brought the whole roast duck, which had been deboned, to Liu Yu on a plate:
"It's not as good as the one in Juweilou, so you'll just have to eat this!"
Uncle Chen Wu was making "Aba Aba" sounds with his mouth, cursing Uncle Chen San for valuing his wife over his brother, and cursing Qin Ke for being a glutton. Isn't he afraid of eating too much and dying?
But he snorted arrogantly: "You ordered it, you are so great, I can just eat vegetables!"
His third brother is his own family, there is nothing he can do about it, Qin Ke hates him.
Uncle Chen San no longer paid any attention to him and started eating in silence.
On the contrary, when Uncle Chen saw this scene, he sighed:
"It's still good to be young! If I had known earlier, I would have brought your sister-in-law out with me. She hasn't left the capital for a long time."
"Next time, brother, bring sister-in-law out, and I will guard the city. Maybe sister-in-law's health will get better!" Liu Yu said with a smile.
She said this from the bottom of her heart.
After she left, Wu would be the one to take charge of the affairs of the Chen Mansion. Liu Yu actually felt a little guilty about it.
Uncle Chen laughed and said:
"Okay, okay, then I'll tell her when I come back from the south. She'll definitely be very happy."
The meal started in an awkward yet relaxed atmosphere.
The situation in Master Chen Wu's carriage was even more awkward than when they were having dinner.
Master Chen Wu hated Qin Ke, but Qin Ke followed Chen Xiyao and shamelessly got into his carriage.
Chen Xiyao was afraid that Master Chen Wu and his wife would find out something, so she called Liu Yu and Yao too.
It was obviously a light and simple carriage, but the coachman drove it out. The cart was carrying a heavy load of grain, and one wheel pressed down on it, leaving a big hole.
They went from being the second carriage to the last one, and the carriages were so tired that even whipping them had no effect.
"I say, nephew Qin! Your aunt and I rarely have the opportunity to be alone together. It's not right for you to disturb us!" Uncle Chen Wu said almost in a grinding tone.
Qin Ke said innocently: "Fifth Uncle, I am missing, but we still have Third Aunt and Chen Xiyao, which will also disturb us."
Master Chen Wu clenched his fists, then unclenched them and said, "I am happy for them to disturb me."
"So Uncle Five hates me?"
Uncle Chen Wu rolled his eyes and was about to say something nonsense.
Qin Ke nodded: "Okay, I understand."
Master Chen Wu was delighted and waited for Qin Ke to get off the carriage.
But after a cup of tea, Qin Ke not only did not leave, but also leaned towards Chen Xiyao to make himself sit more steadily, and said: "Fifth Uncle, for your mood along the way, I think you have to get used to me as soon as possible, so that you can better protect Third Uncle."
Anyway, after he chased out and followed Chen Xiyao and got on the carriage, Qin Ke decided that he had no shame.
Yaoer's reputation was ruined because of him, and he must be responsible.
Ouch.
Qin Ke's twisted logic was so shameless that Liu Yu, who had been watching the show on the side, looked at him sideways.
She poked Chen Xiyao and asked in a low voice:
"what do you think?"
Chen Xiyao didn't want to think about anything, but she couldn't help thinking about it now.
"Zhou Huaian was already a mistake. My mother and brother can't stand it anymore. He also said that he came to me just to take responsibility."
Chen Xiyao sneered: "But what responsibility does he have to bear? Because of him, Zhou Huaian and I broke off the engagement? Yu'er, you and I know this, it's not like that."
"After all, he just felt sorry for me..."
Liu Yu didn't know what to say for a moment.
The two men's argument continued.
"Master Qin, I only tolerate you for my third brother's sake. Don't force me to slap you!"
"Okay, Fifth Uncle, when you fan, use some internal force. It's best if it's not visible on the surface. This way, it will be difficult for Third Uncle to notice."
Liu Yu turned around and looked at Qin Ke. He was obviously very ashamed, his ears were red, but he still stiffened his neck and refused to get out of the car.
No matter how harshly Master Chen Wu said, his face seemed thicker than a city wall and he refused to leave.
But Liu Yu didn't think so. She could see that every time he heard what Master Chen Wu said, his hands exposed from under his sleeves were clenched.
Yes, how could a young man from an aristocratic family who is well-read in poetry and literature not care about his reputation? I think he cherishes it very much.
Qin Ke endured it and at the same time put on a smiling face.
Liu Yu felt that, unlike what Chen Xiyao said, Qin Ke was not simply responsible or pitiful.
But Chen Xiyao's personality cannot be changed by just a few words from others.
Otherwise, there would be no place for Zhou Huaian.
"Okay, then let's not think about anything. No matter what the reason is, even if you don't marry, your third brother and I will support you for the rest of your life."
