One sentence rejected her.

Li Huaiyu felt a little unbelievable. Looking at Bai Dezhong, he pointed at himself: "The person who is betrothed to Jiang Yan... Is it me? Jiang Yan's birthday, I am resting at home, is it plausible?"

Bai De said in a heavy voice: "Jiangfu wanted to discuss this marriage again early in the morning, so you don't have to be too persistent about it."

The implication was to push the marriage off for her and put it on Bai Xuanji's body.

Frankly speaking, Li Huaiyu doesn't care about who she wants to marry or not. After all, she has raised more than a dozen face heads before. What kind of man has she never seen? I never regard the marriage of my daughter's family as a big event.

However, looking down at the dress she was wearing now, Huaiyu frowned slightly.

"No need to discuss?" she asked.

Bai De shook his head again: "You should learn the rules again from the teaching nun in the mansion. After learning well, I will choose another husband's house for you for my father."

Bai Xuanji smiled with complacency in her eyes, but her attitude was correct, and she said to her very gracefully: "Fourth sister, don't be too sad. There are so many good families, not just Jiangfu."

"That's right." Bai Mengshi also smiled and chimed in, "Just choose later."

Taking a look at the mother and daughter who were gloating about their misfortune, Huaiyu twitched the corners of her mouth, knowing that there was no room left, she bowed to Bai De: "My daughter will leave."

"En." Bai De watched her go out, and sighed lightly.

He also knew that this would be cruel to Zhuji, but there was nothing he could do about it. Today's Zhuji, let alone marrying Jiang Yan, would not look like a lady at all without her title of fourth miss of the Bai family. If they were forced into Jiangfu, they would not have a good life in the future.

It's better to find an ordinary family and live a normal life, at least you won't be bullied.

Huaiyu walked out of the front hall, Lingxiu came up to help her, "Miss, how are you?"

Seeing her eyes full of anticipation, Huaiyu pursed her lips, hesitated for a long time before saying: "We can sleep late tomorrow."

Lingxiu was startled, her little face turned pale, her lips trembled twice, and tears fell down with a "click".

"How could this happen?" She choked up, "Even if the master doesn't love you, he should still remember the spirit of Third Aunt! How could I really not let you go!"

Li Huaiyu is invulnerable, his only weakness is the fear of people crying. In the past, Qingsi wouldn't shed a tear when her bones were broken, but this Lingxiu really cried whenever she said she wanted to.

At a loss, he wiped her face with his sleeves, Huaiyu quickly coaxed her: "Don't worry, don't worry, the Jiang family is not a good family, if you don't go, you won't go."

"How can that be possible!" Lingxiu burst into tears.

Huaiyu had no choice but to drag her back to the west courtyard, and said softly as she walked, "Follow me from now on, you won't be wronged again, and you don't have to marry Jiang Yan."

Lingxiu kept crying.

Huaiyu said again: "I'll ask someone to buy you delicious snacks tomorrow, okay?"

Lingxiu was still crying.

Li Huaiyu felt that her head was getting bigger, so she pressed her on the chair in the wing room, clasped her hands together and bowed to her: "Grandma, don't cry! Isn't it just a Jiangfu banquet? They won't take me there, so I can find a way to go by myself." ?”

Lingxiu twitched and shook her head: "There is no way...how can there be any way..."

"Isn't it just a matter of wearing clothes?" Huaiyu gritted her teeth and stomped her feet, "I'll send someone to wear a suit right away!"

This big talk is as good as it can really be done. Lingxiu was even amused, and asked with red eyes, "Who did you send it to?"

"You don't care about that." Huaiyu said, "You wait here, if someone asks me where I have been, you just say that I have diarrhea in the toilet."

Lingxiu was stunned: "Are you really going to find someone?"

Waving at her, Huaiyu rushed out with a flick of her skirt.

"Miss!" Lingxiu hurriedly got up and ran to the door to have a look, but there was no one outside.

The night was silent, and it was time to turn off the lights. All the mansions were quiet and the doors were closed.

However, the door of Lu's residence suddenly opened from the inside.

"Grandma, what do you want tomorrow?" Lu Jingxing was wearing pajamas and a cape, staggered all the way by the people in front of him, he couldn't laugh or cry, "Are you in a hurry?"

Li Huaiyu said without turning his head: "I sneaked out, and if someone found out, they would definitely grab me back and break my legs. For the sake of my legs, don't talk nonsense."

Upon hearing this, Lu Jingxing finally stood up straight, glanced at the carriage that Zhaocai had arrived, pulled her up and dismantled the horse.

"What are you doing?" Huaiyu stared.

Lu Jingxing smiled and said, "Aren't you in a hurry? I'll take you to taste the April night wind in the capital. It tastes good."

After that, he pinched her waist with both hands, and put her on the horse's back with one stroke.

Huaiyu was stunned. Before he could say anything, Lu Jingxing rolled over and rode behind her. This horse didn't even have a saddle, the two of them were close together, Lu Jingxing was wearing thin clothes, she could almost feel the warmth from his chest.

"Damn." Li Huaiyu frowned, "Are you a hooligan?"

After riding his horse and leaving, Lu Jingxing snorted and said, "Being able to play a hooligan for a while, but this is something that the ladies in Kyoto can't wait for, you should cherish it."

"Damn!" Huaiyu said, "You can just talk poorly, if you don't find what I want later, I'll tear down your shop!"

"Don't worry." Lu Jingxing's eyes half-closed with a smile, "Everything is available in my Pearl Pavilion."

There are many properties under Lu Jingxing's name, but his favorite is the Pearl Pavilion.

Canghai Yizhu Pavilion is a well-known treasure store in Beijing. It sells everything from toys and decorations to hairpins and jade rings. As long as they are precious treasures, they are sold here. It's just that the price is expensive, and those who don't have a few large bank notes in their pockets dare not cross that threshold.

Li Huaiyu had never been here before, not because she didn't want to come, but because Lu Jingxing refused to let her in even though he was beaten to death.

"Letting you in is no different from letting mice into the granary!" Once upon a time, the suave shopkeeper Lu grabbed the door leaf with both hands and blocked her way, "Do you want to go in? There is only one way."

"What?"

Lu Jingxing sneered: "Step on my dead body!"

Thinking of his ferocious expression back then, Huaiyu was still a little bit embarrassed.

"Here we are." The horse was reined in, Lu Jingxing rolled over and hugged her down with his arms.

"Huh?" Huaiyu came back to his senses, seeing that he was about to hug her directly in, she couldn't help teasing, "I don't need to step on your corpse this time?"

Lu Jingxing smiled lowly and didn't answer her. He just put her at the door, flicked her forehead with his hand, and then took the key to open the lock on the door.

"Squeak—"

A dazzling treasure house suddenly opened in front of Li Huaiyu.
