Quick Wear: I am a good female supporting role

Chapter 555: Extra: Marriage Substitute 7

Originally, Mrs. Xue stayed in the warehouse, counting the items to be given to Jiang Qiuyue in the future. She thought the marriage was for Yue'er, and the dowry prepared was also very generous, which was a bargain for Xue Lingruo.

She felt a little heartbroken as she looked at the few rare treasures left in the storehouse and couldn't help but cover her chest. Because of the specialness of these treasures, Mrs. Xue did not put them in her dowry, otherwise she would not even have these items now.

Just as I was thinking about it, a servant's panicked voice suddenly came from outside the door, "Madam, it's not good, Madam."

The maidservant beside Madam Xue scolded, "Madam is fine, you lowly servant, stop talking nonsense."

"Madam, there's a thief in the master's study!"

Mrs. Xue was already in a bad mood because she was disturbed by the servants. When she heard that her husband's study had been robbed, her beautiful eyes slightly frowned, "Take me to find the master."

Seeing Xue Zheng, Mrs. Xue hurriedly asked, "Master, is the stuff still there?"

She also knew something, and knew the importance of that thing.

Xue Zheng kept frowning and shook his head. "It's gone."

"Who would be so bold as to break into the study? What kind of master is he?" Madam Xue twisted her handkerchief and denied her thoughts again, "It's impossible. The trap you set up, even if it's a master-level figure, it can't escape our eyes and ears, unless..."

"One of our own."

Xue Zheng opened his mouth and said what Mrs. Xue had not finished saying.

"Bai family? Bai Yu?" Mrs. Xue asked her question again.

"Impossible." Xue Zheng denied her guess. "The Bai family didn't bring many people back home today. Except for Bai Yu, their martial arts skills are mediocre. Bai Yu has always been by my side, so it's unlikely to be him."

The hawk-like eyes were fixed on the woman in front of him. They had been married for decades. Could it be that his wife wanted to harm him?

Youshen's inquiring gaze kept moving back and forth on Madam Xue. Madam Xue suddenly felt a chill in her heart and shouted angrily: "Xue Zheng? You doubt me? It won't do me any good if something happens to you. We are husband and wife, and we are in the same group."

Xue Zheng calmed down and held Madam Xue's hand. He took a deep breath and asked, "Madam, what were you doing just now?"

"I'm talking to Lingruo." Mrs. Xue still felt a little uncomfortable thinking of Lingruo who had gotten an advantage for nothing.

Xue Zheng looked towards Xueyueju.

"Where is Lingruo?" Mrs. Xue got the news about her husband and hurried to Xueyueju.

"Madam, the young lady is lying in the room." The maid said cautiously.

Madam Xue pushed open the door regardless of the maid's attempts to stop her. Seeing the bundle wrapped on the bed, she sneered and walked forward aggressively to open it.

But it was not a pile of quilts as she had imagined.

The woman was lying on the bed and blinked slightly because of her action.

"Mother?" Xue Lingruo's voice was choked with sobs and his eyes were slightly red.

Mrs. Xue's questioning words were suddenly stuck in her throat.

When the maid tried to stop her just now, she said that Xue Lingruo was sad and depressed and didn't want to see anyone. She originally thought that the maid was lying to her, but now she realized that what she said was probably true.

Was it her previous words that irritated Ling Ruo?

Xue Lingruo looked into her eyes, as if she had dreamed of something. She said in a trembling voice, "Mother, am I inferior to Sister Qiuyue in any way? Why do you always lean towards her?"

Mrs. Xue was gagged by her words.

The heart that was tilted to an unknown place suddenly felt a little astringent.

Suddenly, she was afraid to look directly into her daughter's clear and sad eyes.

"I...."

"Now that my daughter has married into the Bai family, she will no longer be a nuisance to mother. I hope mother can find sister Qiuyue soon."

Women's hearts are always softer. Even though Mrs. Xue has always been hard-hearted towards her daughter, she couldn't say anything to question her fragile daughter.

Mrs. Xue actually knew how much she favored Jiang Qiuyue and how much she neglected Xue Lingruo.

The favoritism is so great that even the beneficiaries cannot stand it anymore.

The daughter has always been obedient, but Madam Xue never cares about her. When she hears the wet nurse and the servants talking about how smart her daughter is, Madam Xue never shows any joy or anger.

She was not like other mothers who were happy about their children's intelligence.

Nor will I feel angry because my daughter is bullied.

correct.

There is nothing wrong with her partiality.

She was kind enough to support Xue Lingruo and keep her.

After all, Mrs. Xue didn't want this child from the beginning.

"Was it Lingruo who did it?" Xue Zheng asked.

Madam Xue shook her head. "She has been taking a nap in her room and has never gone out."

The gates of the Xue Mansion were kept closed on that day, and all suspicious persons were checked one by one.

But the thief in the study was still not found.

"Master, what should we do?" Mrs. Xue was a little anxious.

"Nothing, that box is not that easy to open."

He looked in the direction of the Bai family, "I heard that the second young master Bai is still outside."

"Master, what do you mean?" Mrs. Xue understood instantly.

Jiang Qiuyue finally found an opportunity and stopped Xue Lingruo when the Bai family's carriage was resting.

"Sister Lingruo, are you okay?" Jiang Qiuyue lowered her head, somewhat afraid to look at her.

"There was a small accident." Xue Lingruo said softly, "You'd better not go back to the Xue Mansion for the time being. Father and mother are very angry."

"Ah." Jiang Qiuyue opened her mouth wide. After all, her adoptive father and mother had always doted on her, but this time was different. She had run away from the marriage, so it was no wonder that her adoptive father and mother would be angry.

She nodded obediently, "Okay."

Xue Lingruo patted her head and said, "Haven't you always wanted to venture into the martial arts world? Now is the best opportunity. When you make a name for yourself and become a famous female knight in the martial arts world, they won't be angry anymore."

"Really?" Jiang Qiuyue looked up in confusion, blinking her grape-like eyes.

"When have I ever lied to you?" Xue Lingruo smiled at her gently.

Jiang Qiuyue was dazzled by her smile and lowered her head. She suddenly patted her head and took out a silver bell from her bag.

"Sister, this is the bell I bought at Langyuxuan. Although it's not as good as the one I broke when I was a child, I still hope you can accept it."

The broken bell was lying in her bag at this moment. When she was packing her bags to run away, she accidentally packed this bell in. That’s why Jiang Qiuyue remembered this past event.

She took her sister's bell back from a little boy and accidentally broke it.

Jiang Qiuyue went to apologize to Xue Lingruo and was seen by Mrs. Xue.

Before Xue Lingruo made a statement on the matter, Madam Xue became anxious, "Your sister helped you find the bell. If you still blame her, then it's your fault."

"If you hadn't run around, the bell wouldn't have been lost, right? You should thank your sister."
