Qin Shi: I only work eight hours

Chapter 251 Madam Hu almost got exposed
"kindness."

"It should be completed by the end of the month."

Nongyu nodded.

Then I took a big gulp of ice water.

Upon witnessing this scene, Madam Hu parted her thin lips slightly, as if she wanted to say something but then hesitated.

With Xu Lin present, she couldn't be too harsh on Nongyu.

"In that case, go and bathe and change your clothes."

"Then take me to find your sister Zi Nu."

Xu Lindao.

"it is good!"

Nongyu nodded vigorously.

Then he put the clothes in the bamboo basket and walked quickly toward the bathhouse.

After Nongyu walked away, Xu Lin closed the bamboo window and sat down next to Madam Hu.

"How long does Yu'er usually take to bathe?"

Xu Lin gently brushed a strand of hair from Madam Hu's forehead and asked.

"About a cup of tea."

Mrs. Hu answered truthfully.

She wanted to spar with Xu Lin, but there wasn't enough time!

What if Nongyu discovers what's going on when things are getting really good?
"enough."

Xu Lin smiled.

Then he had Mrs. Hu lie down.

"No."

After lying down, Madam Hu stopped her.

She's a slow starter; a cup of tea isn't enough for her to get into the zone.

"Why?"

Xu Lin asked.

"We're running out of time."

"What if Yu'er returns halfway through the journey?"

Mrs. Hu blinked her beautiful eyes and said.

After speaking, she sat up, using the animal skin cushion for support.

"Didn't Yu'er just say that she's no longer a little girl?"

“Many girls Yu’er’s age can already boil water.”

"So what if Yu'er sees it?"

"The truth will eventually come out; Yu'er will find out sooner or later."

Xu Lin disagrees.

But Mrs. Hu just wouldn't agree.

Seeing this, Xu Lin did not insist, but instead lay down on Madam Hu's plump legs and let her massage them for him.

"gentlemen."

"You mean Yu'er wouldn't also..."

While massaging Xu Lin, Madam Hu asked questions.

"Also what?"

Xu Lin asked.

Then she moved the hem of her skirt up a bit.

Madam Hu's long dress was of exceptional quality, with intricate embroidery on the hem, but it was uncomfortable to lie on.

"She has also taken a liking to you, sir."

Mrs. Hu found it difficult to speak.

If she and Xu Lin are just friends, then this is not a bad thing, but a good thing!
However, she and Xu Lin had already been in a marital relationship.

"how you said that?"

Xu Lin looked up at Madam Hu's chest.

It wasn't that he wanted to see Madam Hu's chest, but rather that from his perspective, he couldn't see Madam Hu's face at all.

"Yu'er has been talking about you a lot lately, sir."

"Madam Hu said softly."

"and then?"

Xu Lin closed his eyes contentedly.

After closing his eyes, his sense of smell became much more sensitive, and all sorts of refreshing fragrances wafted towards him!

"And then Yu'er cares about you a lot."

"I've never seen Yu'er care about someone so much before."

"She not only knows that you like to drink tea, but she also knows that you like to drink weak tea."

"Yu'er has written down many of the things you said casually before, such as..."

Mrs. Hu added, pursing her thin lips.

After listening, Xu Lin nodded thoughtfully.

If that's true, then Yu'er might actually have fallen for him!

But isn't this a good thing?
He and Madam Hu were not legally husband and wife, so what was wrong with him marrying Yu'er?
Just as Xu Lin was about to comfort Madam Hu, Nongyu wiped her hair and walked towards the study.

Madam Hu looked in the direction of the sound and, upon seeing Nongyu, immediately helped Xu Lin up, pulled down her skirt, and brought her legs together, restoring her dignified appearance.

Squeak.

The wooden door opened in response.

"Mother, what are you talking about?"

Seeing that Madam Hu's cheeks were slightly flushed, Nongyu asked curiously.

"Nothing to talk about."

Mrs. Hu shook her head.

Then I put two small pieces of ice into the bowl.

"They're talking about you and your sister Zi Nu."

Xu Lin replied with a smile. Then he left the Hu residence with Nongyu.

"Does Zi Nu live far from here?"

Xu Lin noticed that the sun had shrunk a bit and asked.

"Fortunately."

"I want to walk there."

Are you in a hurry, sir?

Nongyu smiled gently, then asked in return.

She enjoys walking.

"No rush."

Xu Lin waved his hand.

After speaking, he put his hands behind his back and walked with Nongyu to Zinu's residence.

Although Nongyu was still young and shorter than Xu Lin by half a head, she walked very fast.

"After the new Zilan Pavilion is completed, do you plan to live there or at the Hu residence?"

Xu Lin asked casually.

Nongyu's skin was not only very white, but also very tender, as if you could squeeze water out of it!

"Forehead……"

"I want to spend half the time living in Xin Zilanxuan and the other half living with my mother."

Nongyu frowned slightly as she thought for a moment before answering.

Madam Hu doesn't know martial arts. Although this is Xianyang, she's always better to be safe than sorry.

And the company of family is very important!

"can."

Xu Lin nodded.

If Nongyu continues to live in the Hu residence, how will he find Madam Hu?

Although Madam Hu is introverted, her tolerance limit is very low, and she is no match for Consort Hu or Mingzhu!
If Nongyu continues to live in the Hu residence, it won't be long before Madam Hu's secret is exposed!
Xu Lin didn't care about this, but Madam Hu didn't want Nongyu to know about it, at least not now.

……

A quarter of an hour later.

Xu Lin arrived at Zi Nu's residence.

Zi Nu's residence was very close to Xin Zi Lan Xuan, but it was small and dilapidated, not as good as Hu's residence.

"elder sister."

Look who's here!

Nongyu took three steps in two and came to Zinu's side, smiling broadly.

“Who’s coming…”

"gentlemen?"

Zi Nu turned to look at the gate, her beautiful eyes trembling slightly.

Then he invited Xu Lin to the study.

"You're out of money?"

After taking his seat, Xu Lin asked, puzzled.

"Why did you say this, sir?"

"I heard that you have been promoted to Imperial Preceptor, congratulations!"

Zi Nu smiled charmingly.

Then he poured Xu Lin a bottle of orchid wine.

"This was expected; there's nothing to celebrate."

Xu Lin waved his hand.

Then he took the wine vessel and drank a sip of orchid wine.

Then he pointed to the dilapidated courtyard.

"If you don't have money, you can tell me. Why did you buy it..."

Xu Lindao.

He was interrupted by Zi Nu before he could finish speaking.

“I didn’t buy it, I rented it.”

"The new Zilanxuan residence will be completed by the end of the month. Is it necessary to buy a house there?"

Zi Nu explained.

She has money, but she doesn't want to waste it!

The new Zilanxuan restaurant hasn't opened yet, so who knows how business will go?

Rent in Xianyang is very expensive, far more so than in Xinzheng.

"You're getting more and more stingy!"

Xu Lin commented.

"I'm just being careful with my money!"

Zi Nu placed her hands on her waist and retorted.

“If you are worried that Xin Zilanxuan’s business is not doing well, you can choose the second cooperation method: I will be the manager and you will be the boss’s wife.”

Xu Lin suggested with a smile.

The new Zilan Pavilion is not yet completed; it's not too late to back out!
"Thank you for your kindness, Grand Preceptor."

"I have no such plans at the moment."

Zi Nu tossed her hair and refused.

Although she admired Xu Lin and owed him a favor, she didn't want to get married for the time being!

"It doesn't matter."

"I'm just suggesting."

"You should still call me 'Sir,' it's too formal to call me Imperial Advisor!"

Xu Lin smiled indifferently.

Then, swaying the wine glass, he looked at the woman with a devilish figure and an angelic face.

He wasn't in a hurry to eat Zi Nu.

We both live in Xianyang, so we'll run into each other all the time. There will be plenty of opportunities in the future!
