CHAPTER 1125: CHAPTER 1119: DRIVING PEOPLE AWAY

Jin Zijin’s expression remained calm and undisturbed as he ladled the soup and raised his head to look at Yue Ruxue.

However, his eyes slowly sunk, and those who knew him well were aware that he was becoming angry.

Yi Qiuping chuckled awkwardly, and made an apologetic gesture to Jin Zijin and Gu Youyou, "I am truly sorry, as newcomers, Axue did not sleep well last night and took a walk outside the courtyard, then she... saw another pregnant woman."

Yue Rujing was shocked and looked at Gu Youyou and Jin Zijin.

There’s another woman with a big belly in this courtyard?

Jin Zijin, unhurried, ladled the soup into a small bowl and then placed it in front of the distressed-looking Gu Youyou, gently saying, "Don’t be upset, have some soup."

Seeing that Gu Youyou did not move, he had to lift the bowl again and spoon the soup to her lips.

He fed Gu Youyou, unconcerned with the others around him, while on the other side, the schadenfreude on Yue Ruxue’s face gradually stiffened.

This meal became increasingly bizarre.

Gu Youyou took a spoonful of soup and said in a low voice to Yue Ruxue, "This is our business, it has nothing to do with you."

In Gu Youyou’s view, Jin Zijin would have to temporarily take the blame for this matter; she couldn’t sell out Miss Du.

The incident with Miss Du was originally caused by Gu Youyou, but she couldn’t be disloyal at this time.

She had thought that having Miss Du staying inside the main residence would be utterly safe, but she hadn’t expected Yue Ruxue to be so undisciplined, wandering and climbing over the walls of the main courtyard in the middle of the cold night.

Such a perverse interest.

Jin Zijin put down the ladle and raised his head to look at Yue Ruxue sitting opposite.

His icy gaze made it impossible for her to smile anymore and even brought forth a sense of fear.

In her memory, Jin Zijin was always a genteel person who had never had a quarrel with anyone.

"General Yi, Miss Yue, the place here is small and I’m afraid it cannot accommodate two such prestigious individuals. After returning from the Imperial Palace today, please move to stay at an inn."

Upon Jin Zijin’s words, everyone froze on the spot.

Yue Rujing, speechless, supported her forehead with her hand and looked at her sister.

What has she done again to anger the teacher-brother so much?

Yue Rujing, having spent many years with Jin Zijin, understood his character very well.

He would not fuss over trivial matters, and to Jin Zijin, Yue Ruxue was still just an ignorant child.

But now he was angry, which meant the sister must have done something that seriously crossed his line.

"Youyou, have you eaten enough? If you’re done, I will take you back before I go to the palace."

Gu Youyou put down her chopsticks and said, "I’ve eaten enough." She stood up and again addressed Yue Ruxue, "Miss Yue, don’t talk nonsense about things you shouldn’t, it makes no one look good. After all...this is a domestic affair."

She was reminding her, so what if Jin Zijin had other women? What does it have to do with you? As an outsider, a guest, you should behave as one. Now, you can no longer even be a guest.

"Ah, teacher-brother, exactly... what is..."

Yue Rujing tried to ask further, but Jin Zijin no longer wished to speak with them and left the room with Gu Youyou.

Only Yue Rujing and his sister, along with Yi Qiuping, were left in the room. Yue Rujing, with a dark face, asked Yue Ruxue, "What exactly happened? The teacher-brother is not the kind of person who easily loses face."

Everyone knew that the Crown Prince had good relations with the Lingnan Yue Family, but to have the Yue Family’s young lady and son-in-law only stay one night at the Crown Prince Residence and then be driven out, what would others say?

Isn’t that tantamount to losing face?
