Bai Meng was taken aback, she knew what Bai Zhuji looked like when he went crazy, so she thought of getting him away first to avoid upsetting Zi Yangjun. But how did this person recover his senses?
Moreover, not only did he regain his senses, but even his temperament had changed?
She stared at her for a long time, and Bai Mengshi barely regained some of his composure, maintaining the dignity of the hostess, saying: "Even if youre not stupid now, you dont have the right to speak in front of your master, hurry up and step down!"
Li Huaiyu raised an eyebrow: "Since youve come to the White Manor for me, why should I back down?"
Not only did she not retreat, but also hugged Jiang Xuanjins arm and refused to let go!
Bai Meng was startled, and with a glance at her reckless behavior, she looked at Jiang Xuanjin with some trepidation. According to rumors, the temperament of the Ziyang Jun wasnt very good, and being offended like this would likely result in a great outburst of anger.
However, Jiang Xuanjin stood still and expressionless. Feeling the weight on his arm, he only turned his head to glance at her sideways.
"Stand up straight."
"I wont!" Cui Yu said with a spoiled tone, "Look at how fierce she is, if I let her go, shell definitely lock me in the woodshed!"
"With this temperament of yours, you indeed should be locked up for a while."
"Damn it, youre the one who hurt me, arent you?"
"Nonsense again!" Jiang Xuanjins face turned dark.
Li Huaiyu smiled and held his arm tighter: "Save your energy, your face is as white as paper. Come on, lets go to the tea room and sit down." As he spoke, he half-dragged and half-supported him forward.
Jiang Xuanjins body stiffened: "Let go."
"Its all been said before, no need to say these useless words."
“……”
Bai Mengs family was stunned on the spot, and a group of slaves also looked silly. When the two men entered the tea house, she suddenly thought to tell the people behind her: "Hurry up and inform Master about it, just say that something big has happened at home, please ask him to come back quickly!"
"Yes!" The house slave responded and left.
In the tea house.
Hua Yu gently pressed Jiang Xuanjin into the armchair, then poured him a cup of tea and handed it to his lips with a smile: "Your lips are all cracked, hurry up and moisten them."
Jiang Xuanjin didnt take it: "I have my own hands."
"Stop messing around and drink properly." Huaizhong glared at him with a reproachful look, her face flushing with embarrassment, "There are so many people watching outside!"
Jiang Xuanjin was slightly incredulous: "You still know someone is watching?"
Is it possible for someone to still be feeding him and giving him tea?
Hua Yu sighed and handed him a cup of tea, smiling with a pampered expression: "Youre really too easy to blush."
Jiang Xuanjin: "......" If killing someone wasnt against the law, he would have sent her to the underworld long ago!
Bai Meng followed him into the teahouse and hesitated: "Ta Man Jun has gone up... I dont know how you will be with Zhu Ji together?"
Jiang Xuanjin said: "It was a coincidence, we bumped into each other on the street."
What a scam! Look at these two familiar faces, they seem like theyve known each other for several years.
Bai Mengs heart was full of doubts, but he didnt dare to say anything on his face, and instead smiled: "This is really a coincidence, the mansion is anxious because Zhu Ji has disappeared. If you can bring her back, it will be a great kindness to our White Mansion."
Saying so, he knelt down and bowed, "Please stay a little longer, sir, until the master returns to thank you in person."
"Madam Bai, your words are heavy." Holding the tea cup, Jiang Xuanjin lowered his eyes and said, "After all, Fourth Miss is going to be the future daughter-in-law of the Jiang family. Im just doing my duty by sending her back."
"What?"
What is Jiang Jias future daughter-in-law?
She glanced at her, and Jiang Xuanjin seemed to smile: "Fourth Miss doesnt remember? The two families of Jiang and Bai had arranged a marriage more than ten years ago. When you turn eighteen, you will marry the eldest son of the Jiang familys grandson generation, Jiang Yan."
What? Is this really happening? Huai Yu was taken aback.
Jiang Yan, the only son of Jiangs eldest brother and Jiang Xuanjins nephew. He has a reputation for being exceptionally talented and somewhat arrogant, always being treated as a treasure by Old Master Jiang. At just seventeen years old, he already holds an official position in the imperial court.
As for Bai Zhens identity, this is indeed a great marriage. But the problem is that Li Huaiyu has just managed to live again, and cant possibly take the road of being a wife who teaches her husband, can she?
She rolled her eyes and looked at Jiang Xuanjin with a pitiful expression: "I really dont remember."
"Is it?" Jiang Xuanjin put down his teacup, his jawline tightening slightly as he looked at him with a hint of thin anger.
"Hey, dont be angry." Huaiyu hastily coaxed him, "Didnt you hear what this lady said? I was previously unconscious, and now that Ive suddenly recovered, I dont remember anything. In my eyes and heart, its clearly only you, who knew there was a marriage with someone else?"
Jiang Xuanjin sneered, just about to speak, when someone strode in from outside.
"How dare you!"
A loud shout, deafening.
Li Huaiyu was so frightened that her legs went soft and she almost fell over. She turned around in confusion, only to see an old man with a white beard wearing a crimson official uniform standing in front of her, who slapped her on the face without warning.
"Slap"
The action was so swift, the sound so loud, that Hua Yu hadnt even had time to react before he felt his brain "boom" with a deafening crash, his entire face numb, and a metallic taste suddenly appearing in his mouth.
"White Sir." Jiang Xuanjins face changed slightly as he stood up.
"Ive seen you before." Bai Des face turned iron-gray, he didnt even look at him and just bowed his head to salute, his eyes still fixed on Huai Yu, with a fierce anger in his eyes.
"When did your family produce such a shameless and arrogant daughter like you!"
Hua Yu was stunned for a moment, and when she heard the sound in her ears, she spat out a mouthful of blood foam, frowned and looked at the person in front of her: "You hit me without saying anything, not even half a reason?"
"Whats the point?" Bai De was so angry that his beard trembled, "You saw the lord above, you didnt follow the proper etiquette, and your mouth is spouting all sorts of nonsense! My White family has a reputation for being scholarly and refined, built up over generations, and now youre going to lose it all for me today!"
According to the relationship between the two families, Bai Zhuji should have called Jiang Xuanjin "young uncle" later, but what did she say? In her eyes and heart, there was only one thing. Thinking of those words, Bai Dezhongs anger rose again, and he slapped another palm down.
"Old Master!" White Meng and the surrounding house slaves exclaimed in shock.
Hua Yu furrowed her brow and stared at Bai Dezhong, clenching her fists before releasing them.
Forget it, living on someone elses daughters body, cant hit the father. Bai Dezhong is just this old-fashioned temperament, she will be considered as a substitute for Bai Zhuiji to fulfill her filial piety.
She closed her eyes and prepared herself for the slap.
However, just as the palm was about to hit her face, her arm suddenly tightened. Someone stretched out their hand and pulled her back two steps, the palm barely brushing past her face, creating a whooshing sound.
"...Your Highness?" Bái Dé was shocked.
Hua Yu scrunched up her face and opened one eye, only to see Jiang Xuanjin already standing beside her, his hand quickly releasing its grip on her arm and moving behind his back.
"Todays visit, Xuan Jin has something to ask." He stood up straight from behind, and his posture was elegant and refined.
"Please calm down, Lord Bai, before we get to the bottom of this."
