"Don't eat it, my mother made this for me."
Seeing that the high pile of snacks on the plate was about to reach the bottom, Lu Jiuniang hurriedly snatched the plate away from Xu Nuo and held it in her arms.
"Don't you want to eat? I'll help you eat."
Seeing Lu Jiuniang, who had always been mature and steady, suddenly look like a little girl, Xu Nuo wanted to laugh in her heart, but because she had a "heavy responsibility", she still held back the smile that was about to come out.
"Who says I don't want to eat it? It's just because my mother made it myself, so I can't bear to eat it. Go back quickly, there's nothing wrong with me here."
Lu Jiuniang hugged the plate and buried her head so deeply that her face was almost pressed against the snack.
Xunuo stretched out his tongue to lick the residue off his mouth, patted the residue on his hands, and then tugged on his wrinkle-free clothes.
Sitting upright, his immature face showed a maturity and indifference that is uncommon at this age.
She didn't have the patience to reason with people slowly, and said directly: "Cousin Ninth, although I have only known you for a few months, I know very well what kind of person you are and how smart you are. Since you are a smart person, please Don’t run away from the fact, the bastard did see you during the Lantern Festival Lantern Festival.”
After hearing this, Lu Jiuniang lowered her head and put the plate of snacks back on the table. She still refused to raise her head, her neck seemed to be fixed and very stiff.
"The bastard said that you wore men's clothes and that you visited brothels, which is not wrong, because this is true, and these are the consciousness you should have when you put on men's clothes. But she said that you have bad conduct, and it is her fault. Who stipulates that it is bad conduct for a woman to wear men's clothes and watch the lion dance at Wanxiang Tower during the Lantern Festival?"
When he said this, Xu Nuo's voice was still extremely calm and without any anger, but his whole tone changed in an instant.
"She is slandering, slandering and spreading rumors. It is nonsense, it is a dog's mouth that cannot spit out ivory!"
The reason why Lu Jiuniang put on men's clothes, why she went to Wanxiang Tower, and why she was seen by the bastard.
Xu Nuo believes that everyone has their own responsibilities.
Therefore, Xu Nuo believed that it was his duty to enlighten Lu Jiuniang so that she would not indulge in self-blame for violating family rules.
"Liu Niang!" Lu Jiuniang raised her head, her eyes slightly moist.
"My uncle told me. He said that you were so bored in the house because you felt that you had done something wrong. But I want to tell you that you did not do anything wrong. Because the Lu family's family rules allow children of the Lu family to celebrate the Lantern Festival. The lights do those things.”
Xu Nuo deeply felt that Lu Yijian doted on her daughter as much as her father.
Otherwise, the rules at home would not have been changed on the spot. The original rule of not being allowed to enter brothels was changed to: You are not allowed to enter brothels except during the Lantern Festival.
This is no longer pampering, it is simply pampering!
"Didn't I let the Lu family get into trouble?" Lu Jiuniang asked hesitantly.
With her intelligence, she understands all these principles, but she cannot tolerate herself making mistakes. He couldn't tolerate the Lu family's reputation being damaged because of him, even if it was a very small stain. She doesn't want it either.
"This is not necessarily the case, but there is still a way to change it. Since the bastard is too mouthy, she should be made responsible for her words and deeds, and let her know what to say and what not to say."
Xu Nuo had a sinister look on her face and a wicked smile on her lips, which instantly made Lu Jiuniang feel a sense of "reverence".
"No matter what you want to do, count me in." Lu Jiuniang said, biting her lip.
Xu Nuo asked with a smile: "Aren't you afraid of breaking the family rules? Are you going to stop pretending to be a little lady in the house?"
"Liu Niang, I am your cousin. How can you talk to me like this?" Lu Jiuniang pretended to be a sister and said this with a promise, but without any authority, and then said: "Family rules and the Lu family's Reputation, of course, is the latter. If I violate the family rules, I will be punished. I just can’t stand people like this bastard!"
Xu Nuo took the opportunity to stretch out his arms and took out a piece of snack and stuffed it into his mouth. After he finished eating, he said, "I feel a little full of energy. Isn't the Lord Jiaren's birthday coming soon? If she sends a message to the Lu family, don't refuse. Let’s go together, Hu Sanniang will go too, and I’ll tell you what to do when the time comes, but you have to dress nicer.”
"Okay." Lu Jiuniang smiled for the first time in these days.
As soon as Xu Nuo left Lu Jiuniang's yard, she saw Lu Yijian waiting in the distance.
In the cold wind, he kept pacing with his hands behind his back, his eyes showing worry and anxiety.
"Uncle." Xu Nuo walked over quickly holding up her skirt.
"Liu Niang, how is Jiu Niang?" Lu Yijian asked worriedly.
The corner of Xu Nuo's mouth raised, looking at Lu Yijian's eyes that were similar to his own and that of his mother, Lu, he said: "Uncle, don't worry, cousin Ninth has already thought about it. She will definitely eat well and sleep well these days."
"Okay, thanks to you this time." Lu Yijian breathed a sigh of relief, patted his sleeves and said goodbye to Xu Nuo.
Xu Nuo asked hurriedly: "Won't uncle go in and take a look at Ninth Cousin?" He was obviously so worried, why didn't he go in and take a look?
"Now that she has figured it out, I feel relieved. It doesn't matter whether I go in or not." Lu Yijian turned around and said this, then strode away.
The back is tall and straight, like a reliable tree that can shelter from wind and rain.
Ten days later, Suye came back from Suzhou. As soon as he entered Xu's house, he walked straight into Xu Gucheng's study.
Xunuo drew a picture of a bird and was asking for advice from Xu Gucheng. When he heard someone outside the house, he glanced at Xu Gucheng.
Xu Gucheng also glanced at Xu Nuo. Although his eyes were calm and calm, no different from usual, there was a buzz in his heart.
He knew very well the level of Suye's martial arts. When Suye walked in just now, although he didn't completely hide his figure, there were still some footsteps.
However, Liu Niang discovered such slight footsteps before he did.
Xu Nuo's natural acuity made Xu Nuo's heart skip a beat when he looked at Xu Gucheng, and smiled at him: "Dad, among the four birds I drew, which one do you think is the best? My favorite is the one on the far right. Just, look more natural."
Oh my god, she was just thinking that Suye, who had been away for a long time, was finally back. She didn't know what he was sent to do by his father, so she subconsciously glanced at her father.
But why did daddy want to look at her?
Did dad discover something?
Xu Nuo had a smile on her face, but her heart kept beating.
Suye's voice came from outside the house: "Alang."
"Come in." Xu Gucheng said.
Suye opened the study door and walked in lightly.
The tall figure is still wearing a black outfit, the lines on his face are more obvious than usual, and the cold wind is blowing in from his body.
Xu Nuo smelled the cold wind brought in by him, and seemed to be able to feel the hardship of his long journey.
My father is really lucky to have such a right and left arm.
But why did Suye, who never looked at her twice, glance at her with his peripheral vision just now?
Xu Nuo suppressed the doubts in his heart and bowed to Xu Gucheng to say goodbye.
Su Ye also bowed to Xu Nuo and said, "Sixth Lady, go slowly." (To be continued)
