After hearing Bai Zhen's words, Miss Qi thought of what she had just heard and she wished she could bite her teeth to pieces. Others might not know, but she knew it.
What kind of person is Liu Haifeng? They are a perfect match. It is obvious that he was tricked and fell into the fire pit. However, he can only swallow the pain with gritted teeth.
I could only pretend to be shy and smiled: "Really? I wonder what Miss Bai was talking about just now?"
Bai Zhen also laughed: "You and Young Master Liu are a match made in heaven. I suddenly heard that you are engaged. It's really unexpected! By the way, I remember that Miss Qi's sister is not engaged yet!"
"Why is it Miss Qi's turn now?"
Although Bai Zhen knew what happened in the Qi family, she pretended not to know in public. Besides, the Qi family had once plotted against the Bai sisters.
Now that I have the chance to avenge the blow I took, I will certainly not be polite. Hearing Bai Zhen's words, Bai Jia smiled and looked at Miss Qi II.
"Second Miss Qi, I'm sorry, my sister is quite straightforward and simple in her words. If it's hard to say, then don't say it."
"Maybe we come from a small place and don't understand the situation in Kyoto. Zhen'er, maybe Kyoto doesn't have the same rules as ours. It's not necessary for the eldest to marry first before the younger one."
Bai Zhen nodded with a silly look on her face: "So that's how it is. Then the Second Miss Qi..."
Looking at Miss Qi, she couldn't say anything else because Miss Qi was crying. Bai Zhen blinked and said, "Miss Qi, what's wrong with you?"
Miss Qi gritted her teeth and said, "Actually, my sister is already engaged. It's not like I got married before my sister. You guys misunderstood."
Bai Zhen and the others looked at each other in bewilderment. Did Miss Qi get engaged? Before she could say anything, Miss Qi had already turned around and left: "By the way, I'm here to choose my dowry."
"I won't chat with you anymore. I'm leaving first."
Watching the second Miss Qi leave, the remaining people finally came to their senses, but Li Zichun said in a stammering voice: "Is the eldest Miss Qi also engaged?"
"With whom? Why is there no news at all?"
Bai Zhen glanced at Li Zichun curiously: "You pay a lot of attention to Miss Qi. Anyway, when she gets married, the Qi family will naturally make it public."
Li Zichun nodded: "What you said seems to be right, but Miss Bai, I don't pay any attention to Miss Qi. You are misunderstood."
Bai Zhen just curled her lips and continued to choose what she wanted to buy. Bai Jia couldn't help but laugh when he saw his sister acting like a spoiled brat, but he also became alert at the same time.
You have to know that the county lady has reminded them that those who approached them during this period are not necessarily good people, so they should not be tempted by these people.
But looking at Bai Zhen's expression, could it be that she really likes Li Zichun? Thinking of this, Bai Jia felt that she should have a good chat with Bai Zhen.
After the group of people bought the things, they left, and Bai Zhen also took Bai Jia home. As soon as they returned to the Bai family, Bai Jia spoke; "Zhen'er, come with me to my room."
Bai Zhen was a little puzzled: "What do you want from me?"
As they talked, they walked towards Bai Jia's yard. Bai Jia did not hide the reason why he was looking for her and asked directly: "Are you interested in that Li Zichun?"
Bai Zhen blinked her eyes: "Li Zichun? Are you attracted to him? You misunderstood. Although Li Zichun is good-looking and treats me well, I am not attracted to him."
Bai Jia was still worried: "But you today..."
Bai Zhen suddenly laughed: "Oh, you mean I'm pretending to be angry? Didn't the county lady tell us to act innocent and easier to fool? I don't think you are."
"I'm the only one who can do this. Li Zichun approached me and it was obvious that he wasn't a good person. How could I be so stupid? But if I want to act, I would definitely choose someone who looks good."
Bai Jia was relieved when he heard this: "Since you know, it's good. How about this, let's investigate Li Zichun and see what his purpose is?"
Bai Zhen looked at Bai Jia with amusement: "You just realized it? Recently, it's just the two of us who went out. Auntie didn't go with us. She was investigating behind the scenes!"
Thinking of Bai Jing, it's no wonder that I haven't seen her recently, but Bai Jia is still puzzled: "You mean my aunt? By the way, Qi Chengyuan seems to come to see my aunt often recently."
Bai Zhen curled her lips: "That person definitely has bad intentions, but don't worry, Qi Chengyuan is excellent. But compared to my future uncle, he is still very poor."
My future uncle, Qin Cheng, has just arrived in Kyoto, and he is accompanied by the son of Suzhou City's prefect, Li Jiaqi.
After the two arrived, the first thing they did was to go to the palace to find the county lord. Xiaoman happened to have some time too, so when she saw Qin Cheng and Li Jiaqi coming, she blinked.
"You are here too. When you arrive in Kyoto, do whatever you want. This county lady will not stop you."
The arrival of Qin Cheng, the number one talent in Jiangnan, caused a sensation. After all, the four great talents in Jiangnan were world-famous. Qin Cheng glanced at Xiaoman.
"I plan to stay at an inn and then open a shop selling stationery. The Qin family members who came earlier have already prepared everything. I came to see the county lady because Brother Li has something to ask of me."
Li Jiaqi saw that Qin Cheng finally talked about her, and then she said: "Jiaqi greets the county lady!"
Xiaoman hummed: "What do you want to see me about?"
Although he was thinking of something in his mind, he didn't show it on his face. Looking at the expression on Li Jiaqi's face, he found it quite funny.
Li Jiaqi looked anxious, and looked at the county lady. "County lady, Jiaqi wants to see Tianxiang, is that ok?"
Xiaoman smiled and said, "Well, Tianxiang is recovering from her injuries and it's not convenient for her to see guests, but..."
But before he could say it, Li Jiaqi was already anxious: "Recovering from the injury? Tianxiang is injured again, but is it serious? County Master, I must see her!"
Xiaoman blinked her eyes and looked at Li Jiaqi with a bit of amusement, and couldn't help but smile. Qin Cheng saw this and he didn't understand.
Xiaoman was teasing him! He couldn't help but say, "County Lady, Brother Li has lost a lot of weight during this period. I'm really worried about Miss Jiang. Please stop teasing him."
Xiaoman rolled her eyes at Qin Cheng: "Who teased him? I don't know if Tianxiang is willing to see him. Let someone ask Tianxiang first to see if she is willing to see you!"
After saying that, he told Siqi beside him to go over. When Siqi came, Tianxiang was in a daze in the room. In fact, after such a long time, her injuries had almost healed.
But when I thought of the burnt flowers, I felt my heart filled with pain. I was thinking whether I should cultivate some new flowers when I saw Siqi coming in.
He stood up all of a sudden: "Why is Miss Siqi here?"
Siqi smiled and said, "Aunt Xiang, don't be so polite. Siqi is still a little uncomfortable! By the way, I came here because of something. Someone came to the front hall."
"He said his name is Li Jiaqi, the son of the prefect of Suzhou City, and he wants to meet you. Aunt Xiang, do you want to meet him?"
When she heard the name Li Jiaqi, Aunt Xiang felt a little dazed. It had been such a long time since she had heard this name, although she would sometimes think of it.
Her heart would feel a little painful, but Aunt Xiang was self-aware and her face could not help showing a bit of bitterness, although Siqi did not understand these affairs.
But looking at the expression on Aunt Xiang's face, he knew that Aunt Xiang might still have some feelings for Master Li, so he frowned and said, "Aunt Xiang, you haven't forgotten about Master Li, right?"
"When Master Li was just a gardener, you were willing to marry him. Why are you unwilling now?"
Aunt Xiang smiled bitterly: "I am just the daughter of a businessman. My mother is a murderer who killed her own sister. Do you think I am qualified to marry into an official family?"
"What's more, he is the only son of the prefect. Since it is destined to be impossible, I don't want to implicate him, so I'd better not see him again!"
Siqi looked at Aunt Xiang in disbelief: "Aunt Xiang, you can't think like that. You are the lifesaver of our county lord's brother and the princess."
"Just based on your status, there are many officials who want to marry you. So Mr. Li is marrying up for you! Do you understand?"
Aunt Xiang knew nothing about the affairs here, the factions in the imperial court, and so on. She thought Siqi was trying to comfort her, so she just shook her head firmly.
"Thank you Miss Siqi for your comfort, but we should not meet again, so as to avoid having any unnecessary thoughts and causing trouble for the county lady. I have no plans to get married in this life."
Siqi opened her mouth wide, somewhat speechless, but still responded: "Then I will go tell the county lady now that you don't want to see her."
Seeing Aunt Xiang nod, Siqi left reluctantly. She touched her head, a little confused. What was going on in Aunt Xiang's mind
It's obvious that others are trying to get close to her, but she is so self-deprecating. Is she a fool? When I returned to the front hall, I took a look at Li Jiaqi. Li Jiaqi looked okay.
Seeing that Li Jiaqi was also looking at him, he quickly retracted his gaze and said, "My Lady, Aunt Xiang said she doesn't want to see Master Li."
After being gone for such a long time, Li Jiaqi was full of expectations, but the answer she got was no. Li Jiaqi seemed to hear the sound of her own heartbreaking.
Xiaoman also looked at Li Jiaqi with some sympathy: "Mr. Li, you and Qin Cheng should leave first!"
Li Jiaqi frowned, and suddenly made up his mind. He looked at the county lady and said, "County lady, please tell Aunt Xiang that I am waiting at the gate of the palace until she is willing to see me."
"Please forgive me, County Lord!"
Xiaoman blinked her eyes. This Li Jiaqi is quite thoughtful.
