MTL - Ci Jinzhi-Chapter 53 make it clear
Chapter 53 clarifies
Duan Yunchen looked at the carriage going away, and thought of what the maid said.
Cousin Qing asked Cousin Zhu to meet?
He looked around and saw the teahouse with green flags waving.
Why did Cousin Qing ask Cousin Zhu to meet, and what happened after the meeting?
Duan Yunchen has been avoiding this aunt's cousin, but seeing Qiao Ruozhu who left sadly, his concern for another cousin prevailed, and he hesitated a little and went to Qingsong Bookstore.
The bookstore was quiet, not even the shopkeeper, only one clerk was in a daze.
Hearing the movement, the buddy rushed up to greet him warmly.
"I'm looking for your boss, I'm her cousin."
"Oh, wait a minute." The man went to report and muttered in his heart, why so many cousins came to the boss today.
"Cousin came to see me?" Xin You heard Duan Yunlang's first reaction after hearing the report from the man.
The buddy followed closely and said, "It's not the same person as the one who came earlier."
That is Duan Yunchen.
Xin You raised her foot and went to the front.
Duan Yunchen didn't wait long, turned around when he heard footsteps, and called out "Cousin Qing".
"Big cousin wants to see me?"
Duan Yunchen nodded.
"Then big cousin come here and talk." Xin You walked to the end of the bookshelf.
Duan Yunchen silently followed.
The man guarding the door touched his chin.
The boss doesn't seem to like seeing this cousin very much.
"Big cousin, please tell me." Xin You stood still, leaning against the bookshelf.
Duan Yunchen is a smart person, and he can easily see the defensiveness from Xin You's posture, which in his opinion is a guilty conscience.
Slightly silent, Duan Yunchen asked: "Cousin Qing asked Cousin Zhu to meet?"
Xin You raised her eyebrows and nodded.
"I don't know why we met—"
Xin You interrupted Duan Yunchen's words in a cold tone: "Don't you think this question is a little offensive? If you meet someone, I ask you what you are doing, what does your cousin think?"
Duan Yunchen froze, and there was anger on his face: "If it was just a normal relationship, of course I wouldn't talk too much, but Cousin Zhu walked away crying. Cousin Qing, my mother did something I was sorry for you, but these things have nothing to do with Zhu Cousin has nothing to do, if you feel angry, you can talk to me..."
Xin You listened quietly, and when Duan Yunchen finished speaking, there was a sneer on his lips: "It turns out that my cousin thinks that I have bullied Ms. Qiao, so he came to settle accounts with me."
"Cousin Qing, don't speak so harshly—"
Xin You bent her lips: "Then the behavior of the big cousin who came over and said these things, isn't it a settlement?"
Duan Yunchen tried his best to keep his tone gentle: "I just hope that Cousin Qing and Cousin Zhu will not interfere with each other. After all, you won't have any intersections in the future."
Speaking of this, Duan Yunchen felt a pain in his heart, and the bitterness spread to his eyes.
There will be no more intersections in the future, and he and his cousin Zhu. But people are not cold stones, and some emotions can be cut off even if they are cut off.
Xin You could see that Duan Yunchen and Qiao Ruozhu really liked each other.
"First of all, I will not offend irrelevant people because of Mrs. Qiao's behavior. Furthermore, I will not swallow my anger when someone offends me. My eldest cousin sees Qiao Ruozhu crying and infers that I bullied her. Wouldn't it make people think that your book was read in vain, that it's a little stupid?"
Duan Yunchen looked at the girl with thin lips and sharp words in shock, and forgot to be angry for a moment.
She is completely different from the young cousin in my impression... Can amnesia really change a person so much?
Xin You decided to take this opportunity to speak clearly.
"I've lost my memory, and I can't remember how it was before. Frankly speaking, my cousin is a complete stranger to me now, so please don't think that I will deliberately target you because of you or Mrs. Qiao. Miss Joe."
Duan Yunchen's handsome face showed embarrassment.
Xin You saw it and twitched the corner of her lips slightly.
This big cousin came to question him right away, isn't it because he subconsciously knew that Kou Qingqing liked him, so he would definitely tolerate and endure his prejudice?
Unfortunately, she is Xin You.
"I should have made it very clear, big cousin, please go back."
Duan Yunchen met those calm and clear eyes, his embarrassment instantly magnified, and he left the bookstore in a state of embarrassment.
On the way back to the east courtyard, Xiao Lian was very aggrieved: "Young master still has the face to ask the girl, why don't you talk about the disgusting things Miss Qiao did. Girl, you shouldn't hide it for her!"
"Just give her a chance." Xin You said lightly.
Some mistakes cannot be turned back. For example, Qiao Shi, even if he wanted to turn back, Kou Qingqing would not be able to survive. No one can forgive Kou Qingqing for her.
Qiao Ruozhu also made a mistake, whether it was because of her intervention or not, in the end there were no serious consequences, and she didn't mind giving the other party a chance to turn around.
After two or three days, He Qingxiao didn't hear any rumors about Qiao Ruozhu, so he realized that Miss Kou deliberately let him go.
For a while, He Qingxiao had a new understanding of Miss Kou who opened the bookstore: In addition to the situation of relying on others, her generous and frank disposition, she also has a kind heart.
There is only one mystery, He Qingxiao thinks that he will never be able to figure it out, that is, when they met for the first time, where did the vague smell of corpse come from.
He Qingxiao doesn't have the habit of delving into things that have nothing to do with errands. Even because of the position of Jin Linwei Zhenfu, let him always remind himself not to develop such a terrible habit.
When I went to Qingsong Bookstore again and found that there was a new travel book on display, He Qingxiao had an idea in his mind: After getting acquainted with Ms. Kou, maybe I can ask if the travel book bought by her can be borrowed?
After He Qingxiao left the bookstore, the clerk chatted with Shopkeeper Hu: "Shopkeeper, have you noticed that Mr. He is more frequent than usual?"
Shopkeeper Hu nodded: "In the past, there were only a few travel notes, but now there are two rows, so I come here frequently."
The buddy became curious with hindsight: "Then why didn't you show more before?"
"What do you know?" The inscrutable shopkeeper Hu stroked his beard.
Jin Linwei comes to visit every day, the bookstore is still open for business, the interval before is just right. As for now, the able-bodied people in the boss didn't say anything, so it's fine.
Glancing at the empty bookstore, shopkeeper Hu coughed twice.
Cough, the main reason is that there is no business, and it can't be affected even if you want to.
Shopkeeper Hu was laughing at himself when he caught a glimpse of a person stopping at the door of the bookstore hesitantly.
"Shitou, what are you doing dawdling at the door? Is your mother alright?"
It turned out that Shi Shi was the boy who begged shopkeeper Hu for an advance payment in order to buy medicine for his mother that day.
Hearing what shopkeeper Hu said, Shitou mustered up his courage and walked in.
"My mother is much better. Shopkeeper, I heard that the bookstore has changed to a new owner."
"Well, do you still remember the girl who gave you two taels of silver that day? That is our new employer."
Shitou's eyes lit up, and then he was filled with anxiety: "Shopkeeper, I changed to a new owner, can I continue to work in the bookstore?"
Thanks to the book friends who rewarded and voted, see you tomorrow.
