At the moment, Zi Yang Jun is unwell, and Bai Dezhong doesnt dare to neglect it. He took a look at the white pearl in front of him, furrowed his brow and thought, but decided to wait until Jun Shang left before asking her what was going on.
"If you trust him as much as you trust your own eyes, then I wont object," he said.
"Thanks, Lord Bai."
Jiang Xuanjin was supported by Huai Yu and a group of family slaves as he walked out a few steps, seemingly not hearing the words, but when Bai Dezhong looked up and saw him, he nodded slightly with his head tilted to one side.
Is he responding? Bai Dezhong was a bit dazed, and after taking another look, Jiang Xuanjin had already walked forward as if nothing had happened.
"Old Master." Bai Meng stood beside him, frowning and whispering, "What kind of talk is this? Zhu Jis reckless behavior should be punished according to the family rules."
Bai De looked at her again: "Punish? You want Jun Shang to decoct the medicine, are you going to punish her now?"
Bai Mengs words were stuck in her throat, and she looked at the back of Zi Yang Jun in the distance with a handkerchief: "Its time for you to meet our Xuan Ji, Xuan Ji understands the rules."
He waved his hand and Bai De didnt want to discuss these things with her anymore, so he turned around and went back into the house to change.
Hua Yu followed Jiang Xuanjin, walking by his side with a smile that curved her eyebrows.
Jiang Xuanyin coughed twice and asked in a low voice: "Whats so funny?"
"Im glad you care about me, to the point of using a desperate trick to save me." She turned her head to look at him, and Li Huaiyus eyes were full of playful teasing: "Youre so reluctant to part with me, are you in love with me?"
Jiang Xuanjin raised his sleeve to cover his mouth, his eyes cold and indifferent: "Ill repay the favor of saving my life, were even."
"Haha!" Yuexiu laughed happily, covering her mouth with a pair of apricot eyes shining brightly on his face, "I just like your tough outside and soft inside look!"
Jiang Xuanjin stopped in his tracks, his eyes flashing with a threatening glint as he stared at her, clearly implying that he would leave the White Manor immediately.
"Ah, no, I was wrong!" Huai Yu immediately admitted defeat and repeatedly bowed to him, "You are now my benefactor, whatever you say is what it is! If we dont owe each other anything, then we dont owe each other anything!"
He hummed softly and turned his head, pulling his robe tighter as he continued walking forward.
This temper, just like a sulky child. Li Huaiyu looked at his back and smiled for a while, smiling and smiling, her eyes became hazy.
Is that person in front the same Ziyang Jun Jiang Xuanjin, who was as sharp-tongued as a sword on the imperial court and would push her to the path of death with just one sentence?
With a tilted head thinking for a while, Huai Yu shook her head and followed up.
The east wings room was tidy, Jiang Xuanjin leaned against the headboard with his eyes closed. Li Huaiyu moved a stool to sit beside him, propping up her chin and staring at him.
"Miss Bai." The person beside him said softly, "You can go rest first, Ill have someone keep an eye on things here."
"Its nothing, Im not tired." She blinked her eyes, "Its rare that the master of your house isnt glaring at me, so I should take a good look at him."
He hesitated for a moment, looking at her, and said: "Fourth Miss still has marriage on her mind, after all, we should avoid suspicion."
At this mention, Jiang Xuanjin on the bed opened his eyes and looked at Li Huaiyu with a deep gaze: "When did you recover your consciousness?"
"It was on the day I bumped into you."
What a coincidence? Jiang Xuanjin scrutinized her and found that the person in front of him had a pair of eyes that were as clear as water, but couldnt see through them.
His eyes slightly dimmed as he said, "Since youve already regained your senses and know about the engagement on your body, you should be more restrained. From now on, dont say anything else thats out of line."
"Whats wrong with my tone?" Huai Yu was perplexed, "What did I say that was off-key?"
Jiang Xuanjin opened her lips, just about to repeat what she said, but then closed them again with a dark face.
Li Huaiyus face was full of smiles, and she stretched out her elbow to nudge his arm: "Youre the one whos supposed to say something?"
"Shut up," Jiang Xuanjin said in a low voice, "Ill rest for two hours and then leave. Instead of wasting your breath on useless words here, youd better think about how to escape the family law after Im gone."
Hua Yus face fell at the mention of this.
Bai Dezhong is not an easy person to deal with, and the mistress of the Bai family doesnt seem to be kind to her either. Once Jiang Xuanjin leaves, she will likely suffer again.
Sighing, Huai Yu became honest and handed over the medicine, saying: "Give me the medicine, Ill go brew it."
Earlier, when reporting to Lord Bai, he took advantage of the opportunity to have someone bring down several doses of medicine that had been prepared in the carriage. Now, seeing her mention it, he secretly sighed at his own forgetfulness and hastily handed over the medicine to her.
Hua Yu hugged the medicine package and jumped out with a bounce.
Jiang Xuanjin looked at her back, his eyes darkening.
"Is Master unhappy?" Chongxu looked at him with concern.
"No," Jiang Xuanjin said, "Im just a bit annoyed."
The person who kept saying they liked him was actually his future niece-in-law. Although he hadnt done anything out of line, he couldnt help but feel a little guilty towards the Jiang familys teachings. In the future when she enters their household, its unknown whether this person will be able to control her own mouth; if she still speaks without restraint like this, itll truly be a mess.
Cheng Xiao was very clever and thought for a moment before understanding the thoughts of his master. He said with a half-joking, half-serious tone: "This Miss Bai Si, may not necessarily be able to marry Young Master."
"Why?" Jiang Xuanjin was taken aback.
"Didnt the master see how the Bai familys servants treated her?" Cheng Xiao said, "Not to mention Master Bai himself, but even the mistress of the Bai household and their servants have never looked at Fourth Miss with a straight eye. It seems she doesnt receive any favor in this household either. Moreover, Fourth Miss has a bad reputation outside, and Young Master also didnt have any good feelings towards her. Considering all these factors, its possible that the bride might actually be someone else."
Jiang Xuanjin furrowed his brow: "That marriage was arranged by Jiang Qishi before her death for Yaner, how can it be changed at will?"
He paused for a moment and then said: "I will discuss it thoroughly with Bai Yu Shi."
Cheng Xiao was slightly surprised: "Master wants Fourth Miss to marry Young Master?"
"Why dont I want to?"
"... touched the tip of his nose, and thought it was better not to argue with his own master about these things, anyway, he wouldnt win, so just let him think what he wants."
Hua Yu carried the medicinal herbs into the kitchen, facing the scorching gazes of the crowd, and calmly began to decoct the medicine. The medicine pot in the White House was not good, so the medicine that came out was just barely passable, so she didnt put her heart into it, but instead listened with an ear to the gossip around her.
"Has she become stupid?"
"It seems so, and it looks like shes still decocting medicine, her movements are quite nimble."
"I was ill for three years and now Im suddenly fine... Ah, should I go get a check-up?"
"Its only now that you think of flattering? Its a bit late, besides, even if shes not stupid, whats the point? In this household, the mistress is still the greatest, and whether or not she can fly to the top of the Jiang family tree is another matter altogether."
Chattering and chattering, discussing endlessly.
Holding a fan and squatting in front of the small stove, she sighed. This Fourth Miss Bai seemed quite pitiful, the servants in the mansion actually dared to bully her openly, it was clear how little status she had. If it were when she used to be the Eldest Princess, let alone speaking back, the palace maids didnt even dare breathe loudly in front of her.
A tiger fell into Pingyang and was bullied by a dog!
The medicine was ready, Huaiyu filtered out the dregs and poured it into a bowl. Just as she was about to take it to the east wing, a hand suddenly reached over from beside her, took the bowl and placed it on a tray.
