After the Deaf Old Lady and the others had eaten, it was getting late.
He Yuzhu wanted to help the old lady clean up, but the old lady pushed him away with a walking stick.
"Go, go, go. Leave this matter to your sister and me. Can't you see that it's getting late?”
The deaf old lady winked at Lou Xiao'e, but she heard her words very clearly.
He Yushui was stunned for a moment before she understood what the old lady was thinking.
She looked at Lou Xiao'e from head to toe and then pursed her lips.
"She's pretty good-looking, but she's definitely not as considerate and caring as Sister Huairu.”
She only dared to mutter these words in her heart. If she really wanted to say it out loud, she would not dare to.
"There's no need to trouble yourself. I-I'm used to going home alone.”
Lou Xiao'e said shyly.
"It's still early. You should go back alone.”
He Yuzhu said.
He Yushui was dumbfounded. Although she didn't like Lou Xiao'e very much now, her brother was too honest.
The Deaf Old Lady was furious.
Actually, it wasn't that He Yuzhu didn't want to give it to him.
However, in this era, when a man and a woman walked on the streets, even if they had no relationship, they would still receive strange gazes from many people.
If he accidentally touched the girl's hand, he might be treated as a hooligan.
Falling in love between a man and a woman was like doing underground work.
If someone familiar saw him on the street and said something like that to him, he wouldn't be able to do it.
He didn't have much to do with it, but she was a virgin, so she definitely couldn't stand the rumors.
"Don't misunderstand. I'm just afraid that people will spread rumors.”
He Yuzhu explained.
Lou Xiao'e's originally somewhat disappointed heart was instantly lit up again. She raised her head and looked at He Yuzhu.
Suddenly, she felt that the man in front of her was full of brilliance.
It was not like what Second Uncle, Third Uncle, and Xu Damao had said.
He was much better than that selfish Xu Damao.
She knew that rumors would spread, but Xu Damao still invited her to his house time and time again.
If her investment was really maliciously publicized by someone with ill intentions, her reputation would be ruined.
"What misunderstanding? You brat, stop finding excuses for me. It's so late at night. What's wrong with sending a young lady?”
The Deaf Old Lady held her walking stick and hit the ground a few times.
'Ding…Divine level selection triggered!'
"Option 1: Agree to send Lou Xiao'e home. Reward: Divine Taiji Fist, Qin Huairu's favorability-20, Lou Xiao'e's favorability 50.”
"Option 2: Refuse to send Lou Xiao'e home. Reward: Five catties of rice, Qin Huiru's favorability 30.”
"Option 3: Ask He Yushui to send Lou Xiao'e home. Reward: Six pounds of pork, Lou Xiao'e's favorability-99,999.”
This system!
He Yuzhu shook his head with a smile. Was there a need to consider such a choice?
He didn't dare to accept rewards like five catties of rice or six catties of pork.
In this era, there had to be procedures to purchase such a large number of ingredients.
Moreover, the value of these two items was far greater than that of many Divine-level Taiji Fists.
Even the system had helped him, so He Yuzhu naturally had no reason to refuse.
"Alright, then I'll send Comrade Lou Xiao'e home first.”
"Then, I'll have to trouble you."
Lou Xiao'e nodded reservedly.
Watching He Yuzhu and Lou Xiao'e leave side by side, the Deaf Old Lady smiled so hard that she revealed the few teeth left in her mouth.
"Old Madam, are you that happy?”
He Yushui said disapprovingly.
The Deaf Old Lady glared at her.
"You can't bear to see your brother doing well?”
"No, I just think that only someone like Sister Huairu can take good care of my brother. What's the use of being good-looking?”
He Yushui argued.
She was sincere towards He Yuzhu, but she felt that Qin Huairu cared so much about her brother.
In the end, if the two of them did not end up together, she would feel very awkward.
This was also He Shuiyu's own selfishness.
The Deaf Old Lady snorted heavily and was too lazy to say anything else.
"A rich virgin girl and a widow with four children. If you really care about your brother, you should know what to choose!”
After the Deaf Old Lady finished speaking, she ignored her and turned around to clear the dishes.
He Yushui stood there as if she had been struck by lightning.
At this moment, it was as if something had shattered the obsession in her mind.
Yes, if her brother brought a widow and four children with him.
Moreover, Auntie Zhang might not agree to this matter.
If her brother really got together with Qin Huairu, then life would be troublesome.
But…
Her brain still hadn't fully processed the situation.
However, He Yuzhu did not care what she thought.
After thinking it through, he would continue to acknowledge her as his sister.
If she continued to pester him, he could just let her be Qin Huairu's younger sister.
When He Yuzhu sent Lou Xiao'e out of the courtyard house.
He did not notice.
In a corner, Qin Huairu was staring fixedly at the door.
Her hands were twisted together, her eyes were red, and she bit her lips so hard that they were a little dry.
Intense jealousy and unwillingness surged up in his heart.
But what could he do?
He Yuzhu no longer liked her. Moreover, Lou Xiao'e was young and single. Her family was rich and powerful.
What about her? He could only ask for it and make He Yuzhu give it unconditionally.
Then, she had to make it clear to others that she had nothing to do with He Yuzhu.
She hooked He Yuzhu and refused to let him go.
But she really couldn't accept this!
Qin Huairu stared at the empty door, a faint light flashing in her eyes as she gritted her teeth.
She seemed to have made an important decision at this moment.
·······
He sent Lou Xiao'e out of the alley.
He Yuzhu looked at the bright street and heaved a sigh of relief.
In this era, the streets in the alleys were not as bright as the street lamps in the later era.
It was indeed dangerous for a girl to walk in the dark.
Even he couldn't help but become vigilant.
The capital of this era was not safe.
"Actually, you can just send me here.”
Lou Xiao'e lowered her head slightly. Her ears had recovered, but she didn't know if it was because she was cold or because she was shy.
"It's fine. It's only a few steps away."
He Yuzhu smiled.
"Thank you."
Lou Xiao'e's voice was like a mosquito.
He Yuzhu couldn't help but smile when he saw her like this. It turned out that Lou Xiao'e was not only soft-hearted but also thin-skinned.
It was completely different from marrying Xu Damao.
That was true. It was no wonder that such a young lady from a noble family gradually made her character stronger.
"It's autumn now. The nights in the capital are cold. Be careful not to catch a cold.”
Lou Xiao'e also nodded. At this moment, she suddenly felt a warmth on her back and raised her head again.
He Yuzhu took off his coat and draped it over her.
At this moment, Lou Xiao'e only felt a warm current surrounding her heart.
