"Yes, this is all the Prime Minister's family matter. We juniors will not go out and talk nonsense."
After receiving a satisfactory answer, the old lady sighed and said gratefully: "That's good, Ziqi, you personally ask someone to prepare the car and send the person out properly."
"Yes!" Wu Ziqi was eager for it, and he immediately walked out with shaky legs.
Seeing that the matter was probably over, Xin Zhi turned around and looked around, then said carefully: "No, if nothing happens... Is the prince going back first?" There shouldn't be any need for him here, right
The old lady glanced at him with a cold expression. The male protagonist who provoked the incident was actually watching a good show leisurely, leaving them "outsiders" tormented for a long time.
"Eighth Prince, please do as you please. I will let you know when the Prime Minister comes back. The Eighth Prince can wait in the mansion for the Prime Minister to visit in person."
Xin Zhi waved his hands guiltily, "No, you're welcome... Just send someone to call. This prince is here..."
"See you off." The old lady snorted and stopped looking at him.
Xin Zhi no longer had the playfulness of the past, and he didn't dare to say anything even if he was in trouble. After all, he was sleeping with the daughter of a first-class prime minister! He knew in his heart that his father would definitely not turn against him this time.
And what happened last time... the relationship between him and Wu Hantian has not been resolved yet. He is a person who knows the difference between importance and importance!
Xin Zhi couldn't find a good partner with the old lady, so he walked to the door consciously. He had just taken two steps when he saw Wu Ziming looking at him gloomily. The expression was like that of a man-eating beast, and Xin Zhi was so frightened that his whole body trembled.
Xin Zhi swallowed, and he forced himself to think: The old lady just said she wouldn't pursue the case, so this kid shouldn't continue to pester her. Then he quickly slipped away without looking away (but with his whole body tense).
Just when Xin Zhi passed by Wu Ziming, Wu Ziming almost couldn't help but take action. But the old lady is still here watching, so Da Fang will definitely make a fuss about this, and more importantly... Lixiang will definitely marry Xin Zhi.
Soon, all the outsiders in the courtyard dispersed. Only a few or two of the Wu family members were left standing here in silence.
The old lady looked around, looking at the familiar plants and trees in the east courtyard, and felt very disgusted in her heart.
She said disgustedly: "Ask someone to clean up this place, and just throw that bitch out. Remember to lock this unlucky place for me! No one is allowed to come here without me speaking!"
"Yes." Jiang Qingxue lowered her eyebrows and nodded repeatedly.
The old lady walked out. She didn't want to stay here for a moment. Jiang Qingxue immediately reached out to support her.
Wu Jinghua caught up and held her other arm, trying to please her eagerly. Wu Liuyun did not dare to stay with Wu Ziming and Wu Sheyue. She ignored the discomfort in her legs and asked her maid to support her and followed Jiang Qingxue quickly.
The noisy and lively courtyard has returned to its usual depression and silence. It was already evening when these things ended. The place is remote and the sky is getting dark, so all the weirdness and gloominess have surfaced.
Wu Ziming glanced at Wu Sheyue with a complicated expression, but in the end he didn't say anything, turned around and walked away alone.
Wu Sheyue was left at the end. She looked at their backs and clicked her tongue repeatedly. Tsk tsk, this drama has come to an end, but Aunt Liu may not be able to stop tonight. Maybe there are other dramas to watch.
Before she could finish her emotion, she saw Ning'er peeking in at the gate. When she saw that everyone was gone, she ran in.
"Miss, are you okay?" She had actually come here with Wu Sheyue just now, but she had been hiding outside and eavesdropping.
Wu Sheyue said that if she couldn't handle it anymore, she would go back to find A Li first. Fortunately, nothing serious happened and everything was safe.
Ning'er came forward and was about to reach out to pull Wu Sheyue, but suddenly she saw that the room behind her was full of blood, and there was someone walking on the ground, which was very scary for the servants.
Ning'er was immediately frightened and turned pale, and she let out a panicked exclamation.
Wu Sheyue sighed, raised her hand and put it on her eyes, "Okay, don't look at this thing. Someone will come and clean it up later." As she said that, she pulled Ning'er and walked out.
After the two of them left the east courtyard, Ning'er still asked with some worry, "It must be okay? Does the second young master still hate you?"
Wu Sheyue shook her head and said, "If he wasn't stupid, he wouldn't, but Jiang Qingxue and the others would probably hate me..."
"Hey, that's true. Madam, these things are originally aimed at the young lady." Ning'er patted her chest in fear, "But this time it was really dangerous. Fortunately, the young lady can always avert danger."
Wu Sheyue rolled her eyes and suddenly said: "Hey, remember to ask people to keep an eye on Aunt Liu. I think there will be a good show tonight."
Ning'er stuck out her tongue, "Yes~ I knew the lady would give such an order. I told those two boys to pay attention."
Wu Sheyue smiled, "Hey, you've learned it too~"
"You taught me well, Miss~"
—
By now dusk had passed.
Because the road to the west courtyard was a little remote, and the lanterns were not lit, everything in sight was extremely dim, making the usually elegant scenery look somewhat deserted.
Wu Sheyue and Ning'er were walking when they heard someone behind them shout urgently: "Miss Third, stay here."
The two stopped and Wu Sheyue looked back and found that the person chasing him turned out to be Xue Yan.
"You..." The man's words just now were indeed slightly biased towards her, so Wu Sheyue had a better impression of him. However, after meeting him in private, Wu Sheyue didn't know how to address him.
"Oh!"
The young master from a high-ranking official family didn't have much airs, and Wu Sheyue's attitude was much gentler. She returned the greeting and asked, "Is there anything else, Mr. Xue?"
"This..." A trace of embarrassment, embarrassment, or shyness appeared on Xue Yan's face. Even though the sky was getting dark, Wu Sheyue still looked at him with a look of astonishment, wondering what had happened to this man.
Xue Yan lowered his head and said nervously: "Actually, it's nothing. It's just that in the situation like before, I didn't have a chance to say a few words to the third lady, so..."
"Oh, I understand." Wu Sheyue suddenly raised her eyebrows, "Did Mr. Xue also hear those rumors and want to find me, the client, to verify those messy things?"
Wu Sheyue's tone seemed much colder, and Xue Yan argued in a panic: "No, no, I really didn't mean to offend the third lady."
Wu Sheyue saw the other party's face flushing anxiously, and she seemed to be aware of it. She sighed helplessly, "Mr. Xue, you should go back early. After all, something happened to my fourth sister, and the Prime Minister's Mansion cannot continue to entertain you. Mr. Xue, please forgive me for any inconvenience today."
"You're welcome, Third Miss." Xue Yan seemed not to hear the intention of chasing people away and remained motionless.
Wu Sheyue frowned and said more bluntly: "It's getting late. Young Master, please come back. My brother and eldest sister will definitely explain to you when there is a chance in the future."
Finally, Xue Yan seemed to have made up his mind and suddenly said: "I actually have something else to do—"
"?" Wu Sheyue waited for the next step with a blank look on her face.
Xue Yan took a deep breath and continued, "I have long heard that the third lady is good at painting and making things. Xue also knows a thing or two about music and painting. He has always felt that he and the third lady are the same people, so he has been yearning for it for a long time. And today... today... Seeing that the third lady is indeed not a mortal, I fell in love with the third lady as soon as I saw her. So I take the liberty to ask if I am lucky enough to be favored by the third lady."
Such a straightforward expression of love shocked Ning'er. She covered her mouth with her hands and stared at Xue Yan motionless with her eyes.
But Wu Sheyue's expression did not change, she just said lightly: "Mr. !
Xue Yan chuckled, "But marriage matters are all determined by the parents' orders and the matchmaker's words. Many people have not even met each other before that. Being able to meet in advance is fate, so I feel that it is just a matter of fate."
Wu Sheyue sneered, "Since you want to talk about your parents' orders, why did Mr. Xue come over and talk to me? It doesn't matter if I say it or not. What difference does it make if I say yes or no today?"
Xue Yan raised his hands to bow again, this time he was very solemn, "Since I am interested in the third lady, I naturally hope that I will not go against the third lady's wish. If I can get the third lady's approval, I will definitely call a matchmaker. "
A man who pursues love with such a firm attitude must be very popular. At least Ning'er is a fan of her because of her strength. She looked at Xue Yan with bright eyes, and she couldn't help but feel excited.
Because, although Wu Sheyue's friendship with Yu Jing, Han Yi and others was considered good, those people were too condescending, and it felt unreal to interact with them. But Xue Yan was different. Although his status was high, it was still reasonable. Moreover, it was the first time that his young lady was shown such affection.
However... Wu Sheyue shook her head, "I'm sorry, my wish is not Mr. Xue."
Xue Yan's eyes were dim, but he still asked without giving up: "Then the third lady already has someone she likes?"
"I..." Wu Sheyue was stunned and did not answer immediately. Some people's faces flashed vaguely in her mind, and Wu Sheyue was shocked by their idly looks. She immediately denied, "I'm right." Mr. Xue has no intention, and naturally he has no intention of other men I haven't met yet. I just don't want to get married. Being single is the most free. Mr. Xue is a good person, and he will have better choices in the future." (To be completed.) Continued)
