My host is cold and scumbag

Zhao Xinyun did not have much resistance to Yu Qingxu's closeness. Yu Qingxu seemed to start trying to figure out Zhao Xinyun's preferences, but after trying, he found that Zhao Xinyun did not have anything he particularly liked, nor did he particularly hate anything. What interested him most now was the sword about which there was still no news.

Yu Qingxu called Ah Fu again in frustration. Ah Fu was also frustrated: "It is indeed hard to find. This kind of treasure, if someone knows the value of it and has money, I'm afraid they won't give it up."

Yu Qingxu sighed in his heart that the things that were worthy of Zhao Xinyun were indeed one in a million. But, but Zhao Xinyun had already asked, if he couldn't find it, what would happen to their relationship.

Yu Qingxu was extremely anxious, and Ah Fu comforted him with a few words. Suddenly, he thought, "Sir, you can tell the Second Prince that there are many rare treasures in the palace, so maybe there is one."

Yu Qingxu's eyes lit up and he nodded quickly. It just so happened that he was going to write back to Xuanwu, so he mentioned it in the letter, just in case. He quickly picked up the pen and wrote on the letter paper. He smiled and asked casually, "What is she doing?"

Ah Fu also laughed: "Madam has moved a chair to the yard to bask in the sun. It's been cold lately, and the sun is just right."

Yu Qingxu thought of Xuanwu: "I heard that Qizhou is even colder. I wonder how Xuanwu is doing."

It's too hard for a man to be exposed to the wind and rain outside.

"Qizhou is a little to the north, so it gets cold earlier." Ah Fu replied. Yu Qingxu asked again, "Have you also given away the clothes you bought for Xuanwu last time?"

Ah Fu nodded: "I dare not neglect it."

Yu Qingxu felt relieved. Thinking of Zhao Xinyun basking in the sun in the yard, he smiled and said, "Bring some tea to the Madam. I'll go over later."

"Okay." Ah Fu nodded and left happily.

Yu Qingxu tidied up the table. Recently, the people below have been much more obedient, but there are still a lot of chores. Yu Qingxu can only accompany Zhao Xinyun at dinner time. He doesn't know if Zhao Xinyun will feel that he has ignored her. He got up and left the room, walked to the outer courtyard, and saw Zhao Xinyun lying on the recliner, with her eyes closed and covered with a small quilt. Ah Fu asked someone to quietly set up a table and put it next to Zhao Xinyun, put the things away, and left without making any sound. Yu Qingxu walked over and sat next to Zhao Xinyun, pulled up the teapot and poured a cup of tea. The gurgling sound of the tea was crisp and pleasant. Zhao Xinyun opened her eyes slightly and glanced at Yu Qingxu. Yu Qingxu said softly, "Do you want to eat something?"

He liked the feeling of security that Zhao Xinyun had when she stayed in Yu's house and didn't want to go out. He could always ask about her whereabouts, and always know what she ate, did, and was doing. He really liked this feeling.

It's hard to describe the feeling. If I have to use something to describe it, it's the sense of belonging that a woman who lives away from home feels when she knows that her husband will belong to her forever once she gets married.

As long as Zhao Xinyun doesn't go out, doesn't say hurtful words, and just sits there obediently, people will feel at ease.

Zhao Xinyun shook her head. A recliner is not a rocking chair. She always felt that it lacked some feeling, so she slept very lightly. Seeing Yu Qingxu beside her, she just kept looking at him. She didn't have any emotions, just like she was in a daze.

Yu Qingxu felt sweet and shy when being looked at, so she could only hold the teacup with both hands and drink carefully. Zhao Xinyun suddenly said: "Did Xuanwu borrow money from you?"

Yu Qingxu paused. He looked at Zhao Xinyun, not knowing whether Zhao Xinyun knew something or guessed it. When he was thinking whether to lie in good faith or tell the truth, Zhao Xinyun asked again: "Can the court still afford such a large sum of money?"

Yu Qingxu answered in his heart that apart from the money used to cover the palace's expenses, part of the money in the imperial treasury for the entire year was actually planned in the early years.

Perhaps the court is not unable to come up with the money, but the current empress is a wise ruler with great love and kindness. The country needs money in many areas, especially in terms of taxation. She is not as good as the previous monarchs. In fact, she has reduced a lot of taxes due to several natural disasters. Xuanwu needs the money urgently.

Yu Qingxu was at a critical period in his career as the head of the family. During the past few days of clearing up the Yu family's assets, he discovered that it was not that he could not give Xuanwu the money he wanted, but that he would lose something.

Yu Qingxu previously thought that if it was because of him that the Yu family fell, he would never be able to get over this hurdle in his lifetime, but if it was for the sake of the people of the Republic of China, his mother’s spirit in heaven would probably be pleased with him.

It just so happened that Zhao Xinyun had asked about returning to Jiangnan before, so I could go back with her and start a new life.

Yu Qingxu didn't know that Zhao Xinyun asked him to return to Jiangnan simply to complete a task, but for Qingxu, that was Zhao Xinyun's expression of love for him. Since he liked her and it didn't conflict with his own ideas, it was actually the best of both worlds.

But there are still many things to deal with in the Yu Mansion. Although this matter is urgent, it needs to be handled steadily.

Zhao Xinyun said this, Yu Qingxu couldn't hide it: "Awu does need money, and I have already allocated some money yesterday. As for the rest, I will wait until I have settled the accounts and sold the shops with less profit. After I have collected the money, I can help Awu share some of it."

He looked at Zhao Xinyun and smiled softly, "Then we can go back to Jiangnan."

Yu Qingxu said this with full of longing and love. Zhao Xinyu looked at him for a long time. She smiled faintly. She thought she would have to wait for a long time, but it turned out that the opportunity was here.

"How's my sword?" Zhao Xinyu straightened his head and looked at the tree in front of him.

Yu Qingxu thought Zhao Xinyun was teasing him, and felt that he hadn't even fulfilled his promise, and yet he still wanted to take her back. He snorted, "I'll find her anyway. If you don't come with me, Awu won't let you go."

Zhao Xinyun still didn't show much expression, but just said: "Jiangnan is indeed a good place, I haven't been there yet."

Yu Qingxu smiled and said, "I haven't been there either. When the time comes, I'll take you to see it, okay?"

Zhao Xinyun closed his eyes: "When you reply, tell him to be careful."

Yu Qingxu didn't understand what he meant, but nodded anyway. Yu Qingxu had too little experience. When people get along with each other, besides verbal attacks, there are also life-and-death risks. In the end, the old master Yu taught people to be too kind. He was so kind that even though death had already befallen the Yu family once, he had never thought about it.

Zhao Xinyun sighed and subconsciously wanted to rock the chair, but then he realized it and had to give up.

Xuanwu described everything very well in his mind, but Yu Qingxu didn't notice anything from the literal meaning. He had just sent out the previous letter, but one day later, another letter was delivered.

The delivery of this letter was extremely thrilling. In the middle of the night, the man fell in from the backyard of Yu Mansion and crawled into the mansion covered in blood. A scream alarmed everyone in the mansion. When Ah Fu arrived, the man was lying on the ground motionless, as if he was dead.

Ah Fu helped the man up. He looked unfamiliar, but he managed to stay awake and took out a letter from his arms and handed it to Ah Fu: "I was blocked and couldn't go back to the palace. I had no choice but to break into the Yu Mansion. I am the second prince's personal guard. I beg Master Yu to deliver the letter to the palace."

He took out a jade pendant, which was Xuanwu's personal item. Ah Fu did not dare to relax and quickly knocked on Yu Qingxu's door with the jade pendant and the letter.
