Chapter 967: The Uneasy Qin Family Villa

Perhaps it was the Lu Family’s proposal that made the third aunt very happy, so the next day when she discussed the New Year’s Eve dinner with Lou Xi, she was all smiles.

How does that saying go? A person’s spirit is lifted by joyful events.

“Third Aunt, do we need to prepare so many dishes for New Year’s Eve dinner?” Lou Xi felt there might be too much food, and it would be a waste if they couldn’t finish it.

If it had been two days earlier, the third aunt would have surely said to Lou Xi: Are you looking down on the Qin Family or what? Is this much food considered a lot?

But today, the third aunt looked and said, “It’s not too much. If it’s Mo Xi and Lu Jin’s engagement banquet day, we’ll definitely need more, and for the wedding, it’s needless to say, all ingredients must be the best…”

Alright, Lou Xi thought, the third aunt is completely wrapped up in Qin Moxi’s engagement with Lu Jin.

Because Grandpa is quite pleased with this marriage, although he believes Qin Moxi doesn’t need to study abroad, that’s left to Qin Moxi, but as for marriage, Qin Moxi has no power to decide.

Thinking about this, Lou Xi felt somewhat sorry for Qin Moxi. Although she is admired by everybody, she cannot decide her own marriage.

The third aunt quickly came back to reality from thinking about Qin Moxi’s marriage and glanced at the list for the New Year’s Eve dinner.

Suddenly, she saw the names of Qin Rui Li and Xi Changqing and hurriedly crossed them out with a pen.

“Lou Xi, let me tell you, you really need to use your head more, how could you put those two people’s names here? If they appear at the table during the New Year’s Eve dinner, we might as well not eat it.” The third aunt probably found it unlucky and scribbled their names out thoroughly.

“I was thinking, for New Year’s Eve dinner, you should at least…”

“Oh, I don’t know whether to say you’re innocent or foolish, in the future, don’t mention these two people, to avoid making Grandpa unhappy, and to avoid making Mo Bai unhappy.” At least this sentence was very candid from the third aunt and served as a reminder to Lou Xi.

“Thank you, Third Aunt.”

Actually, the third aunt is not a bad person; she is open-hearted, but she only cares about Qin Moxi. Anyone who dares to be mean to her daughter is crossing her.

Now that her daughter’s marriage is almost settled, the third aunt naturally won’t be angry with Lou Xi anymore.

After finalizing the dishes and the list, Lou Xi took the roster and prepared to return to Qin Mobai’s villa.

But somehow, she deliberately took a detour past Qin Rui Li and the others’ villa today.

Actually, she always felt that locking two living people inside a villa was a cruel thing, but no one in the Qin Family ever spoke up for Qin Rui Li and Xi Changqing, thinking it was the punishment they deserved.

However, what Qin Rui Li did was indeed excessively wrong; how could she plot against her own family?

Qin Mobai has always lived in such a family, how exhausting must it be?

But why are there so many more gardeners in the villa area now?

Lou Xi, who is responsible for the daily affairs of the inner courtyard, did not know that gardeners would be coming recently.

“Uncle, who sent you here to do the gardening?” Lou Xi stopped an elderly man and asked.

The old gardener looked up at Lou Xi, “We came with the vehicles. They said the Qin Family needs the trees and flowers trimmed before the New Year.”

It seems that the third aunt did mention earlier about slightly refurbishing the villa area before the New Year, to bring a fresh appearance to the courtyard.

“Well, carry on with your work!” Lou Xi said as she headed towards Qin Mobai’s villa.

But she couldn’t shake the feeling that a pair of eyes were watching her.

Turning around, all she saw were a few gardeners engrossed in their work.
