Chapter 198: The heart of defending people is indispensable
Qin Li thought for a while and soon understood that her mother should have seen how Fu Yu looked at her when she was in the hall. At this time, she asked herself this question, maybe she just wanted to know her own opinion.
She looked at Guo sitting beside her, and saw that Guo looked at her with a hint of expectation. She even affirmed her thoughts in her heart, so she pretended to be puzzled and asked:
"Mom, I have indeed seen that person several times in the hall of the government office. I just wanted to see that he clearly liked Chu Xinyan at the beginning, so why didn't he cherish her after marrying Chu Xinyan? I wonder if what my mother wanted to say was what Child mentioned just now?"
Guo shook his head slightly, "Why are you pretending to be confused about Li'er?"
"Li'er, do you need to be so cautious when you talk to your mother? Let me tell you the truth. When I was in the hall of the government office before, my mother saw it. You saw the bastard named Fu, and he also saw you. You look at him, just look at him. He looked at you, and he was thinking about what kind of abacus in his heart, and no one knew."
"Mom, we just looked at it casually, and no one had deliberately seen anyone. We really had nothing to worry about in these matters." Qin Li felt embarrassed in her heart and said to Guo in a low voice.
"No, Li'er, you're wrong." Guo's eyes became more serious when he looked at Qin Li, and his voice explained softly:
"People in Jiayu City know that you and the bastard named Fu were engaged. Although you left this marriage, you didn't take the initiative to find him or tell him anything. When you were in the government office, you saw him and he also saw you. If no one spread this matter, some people would inevitably talk about you after hearing it."
Qin Li heard the implicit meaning of her mother's words. She just wanted to tell her that she was not married yet, so she should pay attention to some occasions.
Many people know that she and Fu Yu have made a marriage contract. Even if she quit the marriage, in the eyes of others, no matter what she does or doesn’t do, she cannot have any contact with Fu Yu.
Even if you just look at Fu Yu at one more time, it won’t work.
Qin Li gave Guo a knowing look and said, "I understand. No matter where I meet that person in the future, I don't have to look at him anymore. Mom, don't worry."
Hearing Li'er's promise, a hint of relief flashed in Guo's eyes and said, "You are a sensible person. I believe that when you look at that bastard, you didn't have any inappropriate thoughts like him. But some people are different, and they will guess for no reason."
The so-called "You must not have the intention to harm others, and you must not have the intention to guard against others" is exactly this.
Guo still hopes that his daughter will be more conscientious and not think too simple. It is always right to be more cautious.
Qin Li understood Guo's good intentions and nodded and said, "What the mother said is that the child must keep it in mind and will not look at the bastard named Fu like tonight in the future."
The carriage slowly moved forward. Before he arrived home, Guo told Qin Li again that Zhu would hold a banquet at home tomorrow.
"Your Aunt Bai and Yun'er have told you about this. Tomorrow morning, you will take a carriage to Jiayu Inn to help He Chang and the others deliver the letter, so that the third young master and the others can go to the Bai family for dinner."
"Okay, mom." Qin Li nodded with a smile and said.
She was willing to do this by asking her to go to Jiayu Inn to invite Zhao Sheng and the others to visit Bai Mansion.
The next morning.
After Qin Li got up and washed up, she took some silver for Ziqin and asked Ziqin to help her go to the vegetable market to buy some fresh steaks, and then gave them the roasted steaks for Zhu and the others.
During these days, she sold some medicine powder to feed Bai Yunyao wild pheasants, and also earned some silver for Bai Yunyao and He Chang.
Bai Yunyao and He Chang just went to the vegetable market to buy wild pheasants. They bought eight to nine of them and fed them with medicinal powder and millet for about ten days, and then sold them to neighbors. Although they didn't buy many of them and didn't raise them for long, they still made money in raising wild pheasants.
As long as she can make money and supplement her family income, it is feasible in her opinion.
Qin Li rushed to Jiayu Inn in a carriage. After getting off the carriage, he walked a few steps and saw Qiao'er standing outside the hall.
She stepped forward and greeted Qiaoer with a smile: "Qiaoer, it's so early. Where is your lady? Have you come downstairs?"
Qiao'er narrowed her eyes and smiled, reached out to point to the private room beside her, and said to Qin Li: "Miss Qin is a good old. Haha, my lady heard that you will come with Miss Bai this morning, so she prepared some pastries and placed them in the private room beside her, so she asked me to hand them over to you."
"Thank you for your ladies on my behalf, so I'd rather be respectful than obey."
After Qin Li said that, she followed Qiaoer and went to the private room to get pastries.
After walking into the private room, Qin Li only saw the food box placed on the coffee table, but did not see the figure of Mrs. Shen. After taking the food box given to her by Qiaoer, she still asked with concern:
"I remember when I came to the inn a few times the previous times, Mrs. Shen got up very early. The weather is good today. If your lady is willing, she will take you there and get together with us."
She went to court with Chu Xinyan last night, and both Shen Xiaozi, Qiaoer, and Zhao Sheng and others helped her a lot. She was a little too late to leave the government office. After she came out, she didn't meet Shen Xiaozi and the others. Those who wanted to invite Shen Xiaozi and the others to visit her house, but they could only wait until today.
I came to the inn this morning and mentioned this matter to Qiaoer while she was here.
Qiao'er smiled and thanked her, then said, "I'll give me a thank you on behalf of our lady. For the kind invitation from Miss Qin, but after getting up and washing up, I'll go to help Mr. Yu with work and no longer in the inn. When my lady comes back, I will definitely tell her about Miss Qin's kindness."
"Qiao'er, don't be polite. I'm friends with you and your lady. It's okay to invite you to my house to play."
Qin Li chatted with Qiao'er in the private room. She wanted to ask Qiao'er for some reason. Mrs. Shen went to help Mr. Yu do something. But she felt that Qiao'er was very cautious, so she had to not ask.
She carried the food box and left the private room with Qiao'er and came to the counter in the hall.
After a while, they saw Zhao Sheng and Ling Han, and so they walked forward and handed the letter He Chang wrote to Zhao Sheng to Zhao Sheng.
After Zhao Sheng read the letter, Qin Li said to Zhao Sheng softly: "I originally wanted to invite Mrs. Shen and Qiao'er to gather together. But Qiao'er said that her lady left the inn early in the morning to help Mr. Yu. If Mrs. Shen is not here, Qiao'er will definitely not go with me."
Today, Zhu Meng will follow Zhao Sheng to visit Bai Mansion. If she can also bring Qiaoer over, she can let Zhu Mengduo see Qiaoer. Why not do it?
But if Miss Chen is not here, she has no choice.
Zhao Sheng naturally understood Qin Li’s thoughts and was willing to tell her what was going to do for Mr. Yu when she went out to do her job. She took this opportunity to tell her about it.
"Ali, even if Miss Chen is not in the inn, you can invite Qiaoer to come and have a gathering. Zhu Meng said that Qiaoer can make pastries and barbecue, and you can also go over to help the white girls and the mother and daughter. I wonder what you think?"
"Okay, as long as Qiao'er is willing to go, I will definitely take her over to play."
Qin Li smiled happily and agreed.
