In October, Xu Lang got married. Everyone in the Xu family was in a state of panic.
It was easy to see Xu Lang out of the house, and when he came back on the third day, it was a lot of work again.
But it is a happy event after all, and although it is busy, it is also lively.
After returning home, the Xu family finally rested completely. They couldn't help but lie down one by one, exhausted and sick, and the house became really quiet.
Even Xu Daoqing didn't go out to wander around, but stayed at home.
The 20th of this month is Zeng Ci’s birthday, and many people were invited, including Xu Chunjun.
The Zeng family has always been considerate and tolerant, not to mention that Zeng Ci had met Xu Chunqiao and Xu Chunsu. So when I posted the post, I also invited them both.
Of course, Xu Chunsu would not let go of such an opportunity. She had bought new clothes a few days ago and dressed up carefully that day, making sure to outdo Xu Chunjun.
Xu Chunjun never cared about these things, and he just wore brightly colored clothes that day, just to have a good time celebrating someone's birthday.
Because Xu Chunjun had already made an engagement with Zheng Wuji, many people looked at her with deep meaning.
Xu Chunjun just pretended that he could not see it and went to meet with the two county chiefs first.
"Chun Jun seems to be taller and thinner than before." Zeng Nian sat on the chair, his face as soft and beautiful as a camellia was kind and noble.
Xu Chunjun's beauty was not top-notch, but her temperament was gentle and elegant, and she was prudent and not annoying, so Zeng Nian valued her very much.
"How are you two county magistrates recently? Qin'an County Magistrate has a happy birthday!" Xu Chunjun said hello with a smile, and Xu Chunqiao and Xu Chunsu beside her also said hello.
At this time, Xu Chunsu's eyes were simply not enough.
The county prince's mansion was grand and impressive, with many servants. Even when the Xu family was at its peak, there was no such grand ostentation.
What dazzled her even more was the presence of so many famous ladies, all of whom were well-dressed.
She couldn't help but feel ashamed and extremely envious.
Cui Mingzhu and others were naturally present, but Xu Chunsu did not dare to look in their direction for fear that they would cause trouble for her.
"I have always thought your needlework is excellent, and now this gift is just what I want." Zeng Nian said with a smile, taking Xu Chunjun's gift.
"Things are small but my heart is sincere. Thank you very much, Princess, for not disapproving." The most favorable thing about Xu Chunjun is her attitude.
No matter what kind of person she is dealing with, she can make people feel that she is sincere and considerate.
Naturally, Xu Chunqiao and Xu Chunsu also brought gifts. Xu Chunqiao also gave a needle and thread, and Xu Chunsu gave a pair of sachets.
She originally wanted to give something more expensive, but then she thought that would make people think she was trying to curry favor. Moreover, no matter how expensive the gift she gave, it would still be worthless in the eyes of the county boss.
In this case, it is better to save some money and buy yourself some jewelry and clothes.
Because people kept coming, Xu Chunjun only said a few words to Sister Zeng Nian and Zeng Ci, and then retreated in a wise manner.
I happened to see Cen Yunchu. The two hadn't seen each other for several months, so naturally they wanted to talk more.
Xu Chunsu didn't want to get involved with Cen Yunchu, so she took Xu Chunqiao over there to have tea.
"Why can't we see An Nuan? The county master will definitely invite her." Cen Yunchu said while looking around for Jiang Nuan.
In fact, Xu Chunjun had been paying attention to where Jiang Nuan was since he called in, but he never saw it.
"I saw the second young lady of the Jiang family and the young lady of the Meng family together, so why not go over and ask." Xu Chunjun saw Jiang Qing, Meng Qiao and others talking and laughing there, but Jiang Nuan was not seen.
"If you want to ask, go ahead and ask!" Cen Yunchu said, "I don't like to talk to them."
"I'll go, I'll go," Xu Chunjun said with a smile, "I won't bother you."
Jiang Qing naturally saw Xu Chunjun coming over, but she didn't wait until Xu Chunjun came up to her before she stood up and said slowly: "Miss Xu is here too."
She used to call Xu Chunjun Sister Xu, but now she changed her name in public, obviously not wanting to appear too intimate.
Xu Chunjun just smiled indifferently and asked with a normal expression: "Why don't you see your sister? Didn't she come today?"
"My sister...she is a little unwell," Jiang Qing said, looking around as if she was trying to hide something, "so she didn't come today."
When Xu Chunjun heard what she said, he didn't want to ask further. He just nodded and said, "In that case, I will visit her another day."
When she came back, she saw Cen Yunchu sitting there and sneering. Following her eyes, he saw Cui Mingzhu and others opposite.
"What's wrong?" Xu Chunjun pushed Cen Yunchu.
"Nothing," Cen Yunchu turned away arrogantly, "I just know something."
"What's the matter?" Xu Chunjun asked casually.
"I know who kidnapped me at Yaowang Temple." Cen Yunchu said and turned his eyes to Cui Mingzhu. Cui Mingzhu seemed a little uncomfortable and glared at Cen Yunchu, but he did not look at her for a long time.
"You said it was Cui Mingzhu?" Xu Chunjun whispered, "How did you know?"
"She is obviously guilty," Cen Yunchu sneered, "I don't need any evidence, I can confirm it just by looking at her."
"This..." Xu Chunjun is a person who talks about evidence in everything, and even his inferences must be well-founded. But Cen Yunchu only relies on his feelings. This young lady is so willful.
"You think it's impossible?" Cen Yunchu asked her with a smile, "I'll make a bet with you that she must be involved in this matter, and maybe her incompetent brother."
"It's not impossible, it's just that there is no evidence." Xu Chunjun said. She had heard that Cen Yunchu loved gambling, but she didn't want to bet. "To be honest, the Cui family is indeed in line with what we have inferred before. They have motives and strength."
Cui Mingzhu and Cen Yunchu have been at odds for a long time, and Cui Baoyu has also been involved. Based on the arrogant and domineering temperament of the two siblings, they will naturally not let it go.
"Even so, I still feel that I can't put my words to death without real evidence." Xu Chunjun said.
After all, Cen Yunchu's temperament can offend people unintentionally, not to mention that he is too glamorous and ostentatious, and there are countless people who covet her beauty.
"Shh!" Cen Yunchu put his index finger to his lips to silence Xu Chunjun.
Xu Chunjun shut up immediately, but she didn't know what she was listening to.
There were hundreds of people here today. Although no one was talking or laughing loudly, the voices of hundreds of people mixed together were still noisy enough.
Cen Yunchu looked a little solemn. After listening for a moment, he said to Xu Chunjun: "Something happened to An Nuan."
"Who did you listen to?" Xu Chunjun is still confused.
"Over there, those people sitting in the corner said it." Cen Yunchu raised his chin and pointed at the people in the distance.
"You can actually hear it?" Xu Chunjun couldn't believe it.
Not to mention that in such a noisy environment, even if you want to listen from such a distance on weekdays, you can't hear clearly.
"They first talked about you and the betrothal for the Zheng family, and then they talked about me." Cen Yunchu slowly turned the teacup and said, "They said I was a broom star and anyone who came near me would be unlucky, so they talked about An Nuan."
