In the next moment.
Xie Xingyun was pushed away by her and almost fell into the water!
However, he did not look worried at all. After standing up straight, he laughed and said, “It seems that you’ve recovered quite well.”
Bai Xianyu blushed. “Bastard.”
Xie Xingyun smiled. “Yes, scold me a few more times.”
Bai Xianyu,”…”
While the girl was biting her lip, Xie Xingyun glanced at the clear lake water around him and felt a little regretful. “If I had pretended to fall into the water just now, would I have been able to stay with you for a while longer?”
Bai Xianyu,”…”
He was really getting more and more shameless.
After a few months, the original rumors spread like wildfire, becoming more and more true. It had become an open secret.
Most people felt that it was a pity when they heard that Bai Xianyu could not conceive.
She was a great beauty with a good family background. Her brother was in a high position and she was the only sister in the family. She had been doted on since she was young. How did she encounter such bad luck?
Eldest Princess Jing An was originally picking out clothes in the waterside pavilion, preparing to make a few sets for Bai Xianyu and send them over. However, after hearing the guard finish speaking, the clothes in her hands immediately fell to the ground. “What did you say?”
“Rumor has it that Miss Bai had also gone to the Buddha Temple previously, and the Buddha Temple has always been a good place for commoners to pray for children. It’s said that it has something to do with her infertility.”
The guard went along with her wish and repeated it.
Eldest Princess Jing An felt her temples hurting. “Guo Ying, hold me.”
Guo Ying immediately went forward. “Your Highness, don’t be anxious. There might be a way.”
Eldest Princess Jing An suddenly remembered that the Emperor had asked her to go into the palace a few days ago and said that she should worry more about Yun’er’s marriage and let him start a family as soon as possible. At that time, she realized that the Emperor was thinking of a marriage alliance between the two countries, so she replied that Yun’er had already taken a fancy to a girl. However, the Emperor said meaningfully—
[Think about it again.]
Since this matter had already reached her ears, the Emperor should have known long ago!
Eldest Princess Jing An sat on the chair for a while before opening her eyes. “Invite Miss Lu here.”
Guo Ying asked, “Your Highness, are you trying to matchmake her with the Young Marquis?”
“Bai Xianyu hasn’t agreed yet. If this matter is true, won’t it hamper Yun’er?!” Eldest Princess Jing An was burning with anxiety. “No, his marriage has to be settled as soon as possible. Go to the Lu family now. I think that girl is not bad. She’s knowledgeable. Perhaps Yun’er will like her when he sees her.”
“Yes.”
Xu Changzai was the daughter of the governor of Hang Capital. She was selected to enter the palace. In her previous life, she died early in the palace. Even her Eighth Prince died from a serious illness. It could be seen that her situation in the palace was very difficult.
As for the Hang Capital governor, he had been stripped of his official position and exiled a few months ago. Other than Xu Changzai, the entire family had suffered.
However, also because of this, all the princes could be the mastermind, except for the Eighth Prince.
In other words, they were her safest choice.
Bai Xianyu looked at the people coming and going in the shop. She had not seen Liu Yun here the entire morning.
Ji Shuang stood beside her and played with the silk thread in her hand in boredom. “My grandfather has asked a nanny in the palace to teach me etiquette, flower arrangement and whatnot these days. It’s very boring. And 1 still have to rush back later.”
Bai Xianyu smiled absent-mindedly. “It’s good to learn more.”
Ji Shuang spread out her hand and supported her chin. “When I returned to the capital, my grandfather wanted me to learn more of these girls’ things. Those rough men of his could not teach me. If 1 didn’t agree, he wouldn’t let me come back. Sigh.”
“I’ll go to the back hall to take a look.” Bai Xianyu’s gaze landed on something. She lifted the helm of her skirt slightly and walked across the threshold.
Ji Shuang hummed lazily.
At this moment, an arrogant voice sounded. “Hurry up. Show me all the beautiful dresses!”
The workshop was full. The shopkeeper and the service staff had gone to greet the customers. Ji Shuang was the only one sitting in the front hall. She did not even look up, but the woman’s gaze immediately locked onto her. “It’s you!”
Ji Shuang found it ear-piercing. She looked up and leaned back in her chair. “Who are you?”
The woman in yellow sneered. “Have you forgotten? If you hadn’t argued with me in the teahouse, would I have said so many stupid things?”
Ji Shuang remembered. “Oh, you also know that you’re stupid.”
The woman in yellow saw that she was dressed in black like a guard. One look and one could tell that she was not the daughter of a noble family. Then, she saw her appear in this ready-to-wear shop. The disdain in her eyes was undisguised. “Are you the service staff here?”
“Come and get me my clothes!” she ordered.
Ji Shuang sneered. “Who do you think you are to order me around?”
The woman in yellow said disdainfully, “I’m the daughter of the Lu family, so I naturally have the right to order you around! My father is the Censor, Lu Douzhi!”
Ji Shuang said, “Tsk tsk, so impressive.”
“Of course. Hurry up and apologize and kneel down. Otherwise, I’ll complain to my father!”
As soon as Bai Xianyu returned, she saw a woman standing proudly in front of Ji Shuang, pointing at her like a shrew cursing the streets.
It was the woman in the teahouse that day.
At this moment, Shopkeeper Sheng arrived. When she saw her, she beamed. “Miss Lu, you’re here. Come and take a look at our latest style.”
The Lu family?
Bai Xianyu was puzzled.
“Supervisor, your subordinate is too lazy. 1 asked her to bring me clothes, but she didn’t move. Hurry up and fire her!” she shouted.
Bai Xianyu walked to Ji Shuang’s side and looked up at the woman in yellow. “Lu Xi?”
The gaze of the woman in yellow landed on Bai Xianyu for a long time before she suddenly took a step back. Her eyes were filled with guilt. “Are you Bai Xianyu?”
Bai Xianyu said indifferently, “So you only recognize me and not her?”
A strange expression appeared on the face of the woman in yellow, “Why should I recognize her?”
At this moment, another woman came down from outside. Her white clothes fluttered and her cone hat was lifted. She had an extraordinary appearance.
“Sister.”
The expression of the woman in yellow stiffened slightly. She turned around and said, “Sister Xi..”
