  Chapter 41 Cousin

  Duan Yunlang saw Xin You at a glance, surprised and excited: "Cousin Qing, is it really you who bought Qingsong Bookstore?"

  Xin You walked out and asked, "Second cousin knows?"

  Duan Yunlang nodded: "I didn't believe what my classmate said, so I found an opportunity to sneak out."

  Xiao Lian opened her eyes wide: "Second Young Master, are you skipping class again?"

   "Who skipped class? It's the time for rest after class." Duan Yunlang glanced behind him, "Well, didn't the elder brother also come out?"

  Xin You looked expressionlessly at Duan Yunchen who was walking towards this side, knowing that it was different from Duan Yunlang's pure curiosity, this one might be asking questions.

   Sure enough, when Duan Yunchen came close, he said with a serious face: "Cousin Qing, I want to say a few words to you."

   "Big cousin, please tell me."

   "Go over there and talk." Duan Yunchen pointed to the big tree not far away.

  Xin You pulled the corner of her lips: "There is nothing you can't say to others, what does the eldest cousin have to say to the second cousin?"

Duan Yunchen's face darkened when he heard this, he glanced at Duan Yunlang, and said lightly: "Since that's the case, then I'll say it. I know that Cousin Qing has been wronged these days, but no matter what, we are all one family, Qing Cousin shouldn't hurt others' interests just for a moment."

  Xin You smiled: "What is the position of the big cousin to come to me and say these things?"

  Duan Yunchen was taken aback by the question.

  Although Xin You did a lot of amazing things these days, Duan Yunchen was not there. In his impression, she was still that quiet and timid cousin.

   But now the shy cousin who talked to him was gone, and turned into a sneering girl.

  Duan Yunchen felt unfamiliar and surprised, and then became annoyed after these emotions.

  If the young cousin gets along with the sisters at home with such a temperament on weekdays, it is no wonder that the second sister is dissatisfied.

Different from Duan Yunchen's annoyance, Xinyou only felt impatient, and her tone became colder: "Yu Li, if I do something wrong, I will be educated by my grandmother, or worse, my uncle and aunt, and you are just a cousin. Since Mrs. Qiao was divorced for harming me, I can't help but suspect that you are venting your anger when my eldest cousin comes to say these things to me. In terms of emotion and reason, eldest cousin has no position to say these things, right? "

  Duan Yunchen has been loved and respected by his elders since he was a child, and respected and worshiped by his peers. He has never heard such sarcastic remarks, and he choked up for a moment.

  Xin You nodded slightly to Duan Yunlang, and strode towards the carriage parked by the roadside.

Duan Yunlang watched the carriage move in shock, then slowly turned his head to look at his brother with an ice-like expression, and racked his brains to come up with a reason to comfort him: "Brother, Cousin Qing hasn't fully recovered her memory yet, so I can't remember you, you Don't take it to heart."

  Duan Yunchen didn't feel comforted at all, and said lightly: "Go back."

  In another unremarkable carriage on the side of the road, Qiao Ruozhu raised the corner of the curtain and stared intently at the back that was fading away.

   "Girl, go back." The maid advised softly.

  Qiao Ruozhu ignored it, until the figure was no longer visible, then put down the car curtains, tears rolled down.

   "Girl—"

   "What do you think Kou Qingqing said to his cousin?" Qiao Ruozhu murmured.

   "The servant girl is watching, Miss Kou and Young Master Biao seem to have broken up, don't worry, girl."

   "Don't worry? What's Kou Qingqing's idea for buying the bookstore next to the Imperial College?" Qiao Ruozhu raised her eyebrows and almost gritted her silver teeth.

  God knows how she spent these days. She and her cousin are in love with each other, and her aunt is also satisfied with her. Who knows that her aunt is divorced suddenly, and it will be embarrassing for Qiao and Duan's family not to mention getting married again, even if they come to each other again.

  She knew that it was impossible for her and her cousin, but asking her to give up her cousin was like cutting out her heart with a knife, life would be worse than death.

   It was all thanks to Kou Qingqing, but Kou Qingqing turned around and bought a bookstore where her cousin was studying.

   Seeing her like this, the servant girl persuaded her: "My aunt was divorced because of Miss Kou. No matter how hard Miss Kou tries, Master Biao won't like her."

  Qiao Ruozhu sneered: "So what if my cousin doesn't like it? The old lady in Shaoqing Mansion is the one who can really make the decision!"

  Marriage is a matter of parents' order and matchmaker's words. If they can be married if they are happy, how could she and her cousin wait until today.

  It's a pity that she used to make her aunt happy like that, but her expectations came to nothing.

  Qiao Ruozhu thought clearly, feeling aggrieved, desperate and resentful, he supported the car wall and wept silently.

  Xin You didn't know that another cousin girl witnessed the scene of her talking with Duan Yunchen, went back to Shaoqing Mansion to meet the old lady, and proposed to move to the bookstore tomorrow.

  Originally, the old lady would not see a boudoir girl go out to live, but after a few days of tossing, she was a little scared. She always felt that if she didn't let this girl out, she would cause other troubles.

   That's all, when this girl suffers setbacks outside and understands the importance of reputation to a woman, she will learn to be good. When the time comes back, she will know that her relatives will tolerate her.

The old lady intended to let her granddaughter experience setbacks, and she nodded after a few words of persuasion: "Then you can't just live outside like this. During the holidays, you still have to come back on the first, tenth, and twentieth days of the new year. Don't talk to your family. alienated."

  Xin You responded obediently: "Of course I will come back often to say hello to my grandmother."

   Promised Xiao Lian to get back the family property for Miss Kou, but she hasn't done it yet, so how can she cut off her relationship all of a sudden.

  No need to be stuck in the quagmire of the Shaoqing Mansion, and it is perfect to come back several times a month to understand the situation.

"The people in your yard, Nanny Fang and Xiaolian will follow you, as for the others, let Jiangshuang and Hanxue follow you to take care of you, and the two servants will stay to guard the yard for you, what do you think? "

   "Everything is arranged by my grandmother." Xin You would never argue with the old lady about these trivial matters.

  Back to Wanqing Residence, Xiao Lian and Nanny Fang began to happily sort out the things they were going to take to Qingsong Bookstore. Xin You walked into the courtyard, silently sweeping the plants and trees.

  The yard where Miss Kou lived for four years has lost its true owner long ago.

  The courtyard is a main house with side rooms on both sides. Xiao Lian took Jiang Shuang to pack the things, while Nanny Fang directed the two maids to open the room that was used as a warehouse, and moved in some valuable and infrequently used items.

  Xin You casually walked to the gate of the courtyard, and saw the little girl Hanxue who was in charge of guarding the gate sitting dazedly, wiping tears.

   "Hanxue." Xin You called out.

  Hanxue turned her head in a hurry, and called girl with a nervous face.

"Why are you crying?"

   "No, nothing."

  Xin You pondered for a while, and had a guess: "Do you not want to go outside?"

  Hanxue hastily denied it.

"Don't be in a hurry to deny it. If you don't want to go outside, I'll tell the old lady that you don't need so many people, but if you go out now, you will have to waste your time if you regret coming back. So you think about it, don't worry that I will blame."

  Hanxue heard Xin You say this, and couldn't help but look at her face. Seeing that she didn't seem angry, she plucked up the courage to kneel down: "My maidservant's family members are all in the mansion, and this maidservant wants to stay..."
