Chapter 178: The Joy of Moving to a New House
Liu Chengxuan's banknotes were delivered to Su Luo's clothing store before dinner, a total of 250,000 taels. Facing such a thick stack of banknotes, Su Luo almost couldn't resist the temptation to run away with the money.
Li Rusong said that 70% to 80% of Qin Huai's property was dispersed, and these 200,000 taels might be his last fortune. Even so, he gave it away without blinking an eye. I wonder if this is the level of treating money as dirt.
By the way, why didn't I see Qin Huai today? Li Rusong should have informed him that he had left the palace yesterday.
Su Luo asked Su Jiang, and Su Jiang also shook his head. Su Luo decided to go to Li Rusong to check on them, in case something happened to them and they kept it from her.
Not long after leaving the shop, Qin Huai and Li Rusong unexpectedly came from the opposite side. One of them was handsome, the other was elegant. When they walked on the street together, the number of people turning their heads increased a lot compared to when they acted alone. Su Luo suddenly felt his face getting hot, and when he touched his chest, it was beating violently.
Who was it because of? Su Luo sensed it for a long time, but he could not come to any conclusion except that his face was getting hotter and hotter.
Li Rusong walked up to Su Luo and patted her on the forehead, "Why are you standing on the street in a daze?"
Su Luo quickly turned around, trying to hide her red face. Qin Huai asked with concern: "Your face is so red, did you catch a cold?"
Su Luo shook her head, still unwilling to turn around to face the two of them. She suddenly felt that... if... the three of them could stand together...
"Ahhh..." Su Luo shook his head desperately to get rid of this outrageous thought.
"What's wrong?" Qin Huai held Su Luo's shoulders and put his hand on her forehead. "Where do you feel uncomfortable?"
Li Rusong also stopped laughing and looked Su Luo up and down, "Are you okay?"
Dongdong, Dongdong, Dongdong...
"Luo'er?"
Dongdong, Dongdong, Dongdong...
"Hey! What's wrong?" Li Rusong patted Su Luo's face and looked up at Qin Huai and asked, "Are you dizzy?"
"Your eyes are still open..."
"Don't you know? She has never been normal!" Li Rusong turned around and showed his back. "Quick, put it away and find a doctor to check it out."
Qin Huai quickly placed Su Luo on Li Rusong's back and took a few steps before he heard Su Luo's confused voice...
"Why... carry me? Where are you going?"
Li Rusong stood up speechlessly. Su Luo screamed and fell off his back. Qin Huai rushed over to support Su Luo and asked with a frown, "Do you remember what happened just now? Are you feeling unwell?"
Su Luo shook his head. Li Rusong turned around and said angrily, "Are you kidding us? Be careful that next time you are dead on the street, no one will care about you."
Su Luo pursed her lips and thought about what had just happened. Hmm... it seemed that she had some evil thoughts, which she despised herself, causing her thinking to become confused and she fell into a short blank period.
"Don't talk about what happened just now." Su Luo changed the subject guiltily , "I was just about to go find you guys."
"Who are you looking for?"
"Who are you looking for?"
Qin Huai and Li Rusong asked at the same time. Su Luo was stunned for a moment and pointed at Qin Huai, "I thought you would come today..."
"He was busy today and even hid it from me." Li Rusong's unhappy look made Su Luo very curious.
Qin Huai smiled and said, "I'm looking for you too. Please invite you and Aunt Su to my house for a simple meal."
Su Luo was a little surprised, "Your home?"
Since arriving in the capital, Qin Huai has been living in the post station with Li Rusong. He has no relatives in the capital except Wan Yangui, so where is his home?
"My mother brought Qin Qing and Xiao Qi to the capital yesterday. I already bought some real estate in the capital and am just waiting for them to come so we can move in together."
"That's great. I miss Xiaoqi so much." Su Luo smiled and said, "I just happen to have a gift for you. I'll just congratulate you on your new home. Wait for me. I'll go back and call Su Jiang. Then we'll go back to the Princess' Mansion and call my mother and Lao Bao and the others."
Princess Huairou was not suitable to attend such a party, and Bao Zixing also declined politely because his identity was still unclear and he was afraid that outsiders would not be able to accept it, which would embarrass the Su family.
Su has had fewer concerns since regaining her freedom. Her attitude towards Bao Zixing has changed from tacit approval to current concern. However, traditional concepts are still there, and it will take some time for her to fully accept them.
Qin Huai's new house was located in the east of the city, where only people from wealthy families lived. The houses were mainly practical and the decorations were not too luxurious.
The group walked in. The third courtyard was neatly tidied. The housekeeper was still the same one from Nanjing, but most of the servants were new faces, and there were only a few of them. They walked around the front hall and arrived at the second courtyard. There was a small garden in the courtyard, planted with common flowers and plants, and the decorations in the courtyard were as simple as possible. Su Luo suddenly felt a pang in her heart. Compared with Qin Huai's house in Nanjing, this was a world of difference.
"Why are you standing still?" Qin Huai urged Su Luo with a smile. He lowered his head and saw Su Luo's sad eyes, and then laughed, "I haven't fallen to the point where I'm pitiful, have I?"
Su Luo shook her head. "It's just a momentary feeling. In fact, as long as you live happily, it doesn't matter where you live, what you eat, and what you wear."
"What's so touching about that?" Li Rusong said as he passed by the two men, "When I first met him, he was not only poor, but also in debt. If you don't trust him, you have to trust my judgment of people."
Su Luo wrinkled her nose at him, turned around and walked towards the main hall at the end of the path with Su Shi. Su Shi even dressed up specially today, and said to Su Luo as they walked: "I told you to bring some gifts, but you said no, which left a bad impression on others. I will be mean to you in the future."
Su Luo patted Su's hand, "Don't worry, today is just to celebrate their move, there is no other meaning, don't think too much. And I brought gifts."
Su still looked a little worried. Qin Huai slowed down his pace and followed Su to the other side and said, "Don't worry, auntie. I won't let anyone be mean to Luo'er."
Su Luo's face turned red and she pulled Su away quickly. Su was also very embarrassed. She had clearly lowered her voice when speaking and didn't expect Qin Huai to hear it.
The housekeeper went into the main hall to notify them first, and soon Mrs. Qin came out to greet them, followed by Qin Qing, with little Qin Qi standing beside her.
Madam Qin invited everyone into the house, where a banquet had already been prepared. After everyone was seated, Madam Qin said, "We didn't want to come to the capital at first, but we missed Huai'er so much that we came here."
Su agreed and said, "How can parents feel at ease when their children are away from home? For example, Luo'er, I originally wanted to go back to Nanjing earlier, but I couldn't bear to leave her."
Madam Qin smiled and said, "Then our two elder sisters will have companions from now on, and we will feel relieved that the young couple is together."
Su nodded and glanced at Su Luo, meaning that you said you had no other intentions, but look how clearly others have made their meanings.
