The Spirited Daughter-in-law and the Mountain Man - Chapter 527

Chapter 527: 527 Xun asks Qingyue for money 2

She glanced at the servant Ji behind him, “Ji is squatting by the stall, watching how much kickback I get. I didn’t earn much, just 100 copper coins.”

He was quite surprised, “You actually knew? Why didn’t you say anything at the time?”

She felt it was strange, “Why should I say anything? We’re not familiar with each other. Besides, if Big Boss Jin is interested in knowing how much kickback I made, it doesn’t bother me at all, so it’s up to you to find out.”

“Then this fourth time…” Jin Xun didn’t finish his sentence. Could it be that she was referring to when he was at the street-side teahouse? How could she possibly know that?

Of course, Su Qingyue knew, but at that time, she was catching a thief on the street while he was on the second floor in an elegant seat.

It’s not normal for a village girl to have such good observation skills.

As a married woman, it’s not a good thing to be too interesting to other men. So she said, “Isn’t it now? After these four encounters, I finally got a clear look at what Boss Jin looks like.”

He was slightly startled. Countless women have flocked to him for his wealth, married or not, but she claimed she only got a clear look at his face after four encounters? Was she playing hard to get, or was this really the case?

She wore a smile on her face.

That smile was enigmatic.

It made it hard for people to see through, and he suddenly asked lightly, “I wonder what Miss Su thinks of Jin’s appearance?”

“Do you want the truth or a lie?” She tasted the tea, “After enjoying your mansion and drinking your tea, I don’t mind telling you a few lies to amuse you.”

“The truth, then.” He was tired of hearing lies.

She nodded, “I think people in town say that Boss Jin is an outstanding talent, which is a bit exaggerated. Your appearance is just above average, but the outstanding part is your wealth, not your looks. If we’re talking about looks, you’re not as good-looking as my husband.”

“Ahem…” Xiao Qinghe coughed lightly, and a faint blush rose on his pale, sickly face. His wife praising his looks in front of other men was quite…

Su Qingyue glanced at him, “Fourth brother, I’m complimenting the third brother, why are you blushing?”

His eyes dimmed, she was actually talking about the third brother.

Su Qingyue originally wanted to give him a tissue or something, but the ancient people used embroidered handkerchiefs, she didn’t have that thing, so she just said verbally, “You choked without even drinking the tea and coughed. Here, have a sip of Boss Jin’s good tea to calm down.”

As she said this, she brought the tea in front of him.

He extended his fair and slender hand to hold the cup and took a sip under her semi-forced guidance.

Jin Xun’s face was a bit stiff.

Everyone who saw him praised him to the heavens, but this Xiao family lady…

Su Qingyue glanced at Jin Xun’s expression, “The truth hurts. I asked Boss Jin if he wanted to hear the truth or a lie. If you had said you wanted to hear the lie, I would have definitely praised you to be suave and all-around perfect.”

“No need.” He felt really stifled in his heart, looking closely at Xiao Qinghe, thinking that this disabled man was not very handsome. No, this disabled man was the fourth son of the Xiao Family. Su Qingyue was not praising him, but… the Xiao Family’s third son? He had never met him.

Just by looking at the face alone, the fourth brother was not bad-looking.

Anyway, the Xiao Family’s third son was also a country bumpkin.

Comparing such a person to him was really frustrating.

Jin Xun, unhappy, said, “Miss Su is so smart, you must have already guessed why Jin invited you here.”

“Jin has feelings, but no hope.” She took a moneybag out of her sleeve pocket, “I didn’t know at first, but as soon as I saw you, I knew.”
