All the people in the Hou Mansion are evil, and they will be repaid tenfold after rebirth

Soon, Jiang Yuqi arrived at the door of the tavern, took a deep breath, and pushed the door open.

The tavern was bustling with activity, but her eyes were always fixed on that corner. Chu Qirui was chatting and laughing with the girl in green robe. When he saw Jiang Yuqi coming in, he was slightly startled and then stood up.

"Yuqi, why are you here?" Chu Qirui asked with a hint of surprise in his eyes.

Jiang Yuqi looked at Chu Qirui with a firm gaze, and her tone was trembling a little: "Chu Qirui, I have something to ask you."

Chu Qirui smiled slightly, with a bit of doubt in his eyes. Chu Qirui turned to face Jiang Yuqi and said with a smile: "Yuqi, what's the matter, tell me."

Jiang Yuqi took a deep breath, trying to calm her emotions. She looked directly at Chu Qirui and asked, "Why are you with this green-robed girl? Do you... like her?"

......

Lu Yundi said with a smile: "Yuqi, Miss Pei is the cousin of Young Marquis Chu. You are too impulsive."

"Cousin?" Jiang Yuqi was stunned, staring at Chu Qirui and the woman in green robe infatuatedly.

Jiang Yuqi's heart was immediately stirred, and her original jealousy and uneasiness were gradually replaced by doubt. She looked at Chu Qirui, with a trace of confusion in her eyes: "Chu Qirui, why didn't you say it earlier? I always thought..."

Chu Qirui smiled bitterly. He gently held Jiang Yuqi's hand with a sincere look in his eyes: "Yuqi, I know I didn't make it clear before. This is my fault. Miss Pei is my cousin. We are just relatives. My feelings for her are limited to family affection."

Jiang Yuqi's doubts were slightly relieved when she heard this, but she was still a little worried. She stared at Chu Qirui closely: "Then... why do you want to be alone with her? Don't you know that this will cause misunderstandings?"

Chu Qirui sighed softly and explained, "Yuqi, I really didn't know that I would cause your misunderstanding. Miss Pei has been in a bad mood recently, and she came to me to talk. I was just chatting with her as a cousin and giving her some comfort. I didn't expect that you would see it."

Jiang Yuqi listened, and the uneasiness in her heart gradually dissipated, but she was still a little angry. She gently pushed Chu Qirui away: "Chu Qirui, you know I have been waiting for you, why do you let me misunderstand like this?"

Chu Qirui's eyes flashed with guilt, and he said seriously: "Yuqi, I was wrong. I didn't consider your feelings. In the future, I will be more careful and not let this misunderstanding happen again."

Lu Yundi looked at the two of them, secretly relieved in her heart, she knew Jiang Yuqi was a smart girl, she would understand Chu Qirui's intentions. She said softly: "Yuqi, Qirui has explained it clearly, you young people, you should communicate more and don't let misunderstandings hurt each other."

Jiang Yuqi nodded. She looked at Chu Qirui. The anger in her heart had dissipated, replaced by a deep feeling of being touched. She said softly, "I understand, Chu Qirui. We should be more honest with each other in the future."

Chu Qirui smiled, patted Jiang Yuqi's shoulder gently, and said, "I will, Yuqi."

As soon as Jiang Yuqi finished speaking, Chu Qirui held her hand tightly, his eyes full of determination and seriousness. He looked at Jiang Yuqi affectionately, as if he wanted to convey all his emotions to her.

"Yuqi, I have something else to tell you." Chu Qirui's face suddenly became serious.

Jiang Yuqi was slightly stunned. She looked at Chu Qirui, feeling uneasy in her heart: "What's the matter?"

Lu Yundi said without hesitation: "I heard from Lord Jiang that because the war is intense at the front, the government has required many families to send their able-bodied men to the battlefield. I remember that this relative from the Chongren Marquis's house only has your father and her."

Pei Xinyue showed a sad mood: "Yes, I came to see my cousin this time just for this matter."

......

Jiang Yuqi's untimely voice interrupted the conversation with Lu Yundi and Pei Xinyue: "Is there no man in your family? Why do you want a woman like you to go to the battlefield?"

In the Jiang Family Teahouse, the warm yellow candlelight flickered, the smoke was lingering, and there was a sense of tranquility. Jiang Yuqi's untimely voice rang out, instantly breaking the harmony. Lu Yundi and Pei Xinyue were both stunned, and then Lu Yundi frowned slightly, while Pei Xinyue's cheeks showed a trace of sadness.

Pei Xinyue glared at Jiang Yuqi, her tone carrying a hint of anger: "Jiang Yuqi, what do you mean? My cousin Chu Qirui is right here, don't you think it's too much for you to talk like this?"

Jiang Yuqi sneered and looked at Pei Xinyue provocatively: "Pei Xinyue, who do you think you are? You are just a cousin, what qualifications do you have to teach me? I am just telling the truth. Since you have a man in your family, why should you let a woman take risks?"

Pei Xinyue's face became even more angry, and she was about to refute. At this time, Chu Qirui, who had been silent all the time, suddenly spoke: "Okay, Yuqi, Xinyue, you two are my close friends, why do you have to quarrel over such a trivial matter?"

Chu Qirui's words did not seem to calm the anger of the two. Jiang Yuqi snorted coldly and turned to Chu Qirui: "Chu Qirui, listen to what she said. She is obviously a woman, but she has to go to the battlefield. Isn't this a joke?"

Pei Xinyue widened her eyes and glared at Jiang Yuqi: "Jiang Yuqi, you are going too far! My cousin is doing this for the country and the people. I am willing to do anything for him, including going to the battlefield! What qualifications do you have to question me?"

The argument between the two became more intense, and the guests around them stopped what they were doing and looked at them sideways.

The guests around were whispering, and the atmosphere in Jiang's teahouse became increasingly tense. Chu Qirui frowned, knowing that if this quarrel was not settled in time, it might cause a bigger disturbance.

"Yuqi, you are right. Pei Xinyue is a woman, but her courage and determination are no less than any man. Xinyue, you don't have to be angry. Yuqi is just worried and confused. She doesn't mean any harm." Chu Qirui tried to ease the atmosphere, but it was obvious that both of them were still angry.

Jiang Yuqi snorted, still with disdain on her face: "Care? If she really cares, she wouldn't be secretly instructing others to do those unbearable things behind her back."

Pei Xinyue's face changed, and she pointed at her heart angrily: "Jiang Yuqi, what are you talking about? When did I secretly instruct others? You are slandering me!"

Chu Qirui stood up hurriedly, holding Jiang Yuqi with one hand and Pei Xinyue with the other, trying to calm the quarrel between the two: "Okay, calm down, there are always misunderstandings, let's sit down and talk it out."

However, Jiang Yuqi didn't seem to appreciate it and shook off Chu Qirui's hand: "Chu Qirui, who do you think you are? What qualifications do you have to manage our affairs? Do you think you can control everything just because you are a marquis?"

Chu Qirui looked a little embarrassed. He didn't expect Jiang Yuqi to express her dissatisfaction with him so bluntly. Pei Xinyue bit her lips tightly, tears flashing in her eyes, but she tried hard not to let the tears fall.
