"This... you will know when they get engaged." Princess Yufeng shook the fruit wine in the glass cup, with a reminding smile in her eyes: "Maybe you will have to drink the wedding wine then.
Woolen cloth."
These words are unintentionally quite heartbreaking.
Although it was not possible for others to squeeze in between Xu Zhaozhao and Wu Haokan in her house, it would naturally be more trouble-free and labor-saving if the flames were extinguished as soon as possible.
There are so many men in the world, and it's so boring for everyone to only focus on one. And if it fuels Wu Haokan's arrogance, won't it be troublesome for Zhaozhao to take care of him in the future?
Therefore, she winked at the girl and said, "If you like this one, my cousin can help you find another one. Keep it well-behaved and obedient."
Princess Sangyun's eyes were horrified, and her words were a bit awkward: "...Cousin, don't make fun of me anymore."
How could she forget that this cousin had a family of faces in her house? She was so confused that she had talked so many words to such a person.
And what such a person says may not be credible.
...To say that Wu Shisun has a sweetheart is probably just nonsense and making fun of her, right?
The girl's mind was full of thinking about these things uncontrollably, she didn't bother to appreciate the singing and dancing, and she didn't even bother to taste the various exquisite dishes and snacks in front of her.
During the banquet, everyone exchanged glasses, and King Yan also drank a lot of wine. His face gradually turned red, and his eyes also showed a hint of drunkenness.
Princess Yan saw this in her eyes and wanted to persuade her, but she didn't say anything.
She had never seen the prince drink so much wine.
Over the years, the prince has been in Mizhou, and there must have been a lot of worries in his heart... Even if the prince never said it, she could feel it.
But now that I have returned to the capital, I can't help but feel a little overwhelmed by the scene.
Thinking of this, Princess Yan withdrew her gaze with complicated emotions.
More than half of the banquet was over, and people stood up and left the table from time to time, only to return soon after.
A girl sitting next to Xu Mingyi accidentally got some tea on her dress, so she got up and left the palace to change her clothes under the guidance of the palace maid.
Under this situation, the line of sight that used to look at Xu Mingyi from time to time became easier to detect.
I intuitively feel that the other party has something to say to me, otherwise he wouldn’t look over frequently——
Therefore, Xu Mingyi turned her head, looked at the other party, and asked directly: "Miss Ji, is there something wrong?"
It would not be an exaggeration to say that it was rude to look at her for such a long time - even if he just wanted to appreciate her ancestral beauty, it would still be rude.
Hearing her direct question, Ji Wanyou was slightly startled in surprise. She clasped her fingers together for a moment, but did not dodge. She simply said: "...I wonder if Miss Xu can just move on and explain?"
Xu Ming thought for a moment and nodded slightly.
The two of them left the table one after the other.
At this point in the banquet, many people could no longer sit still, and many found excuses to go out for some fresh air. Therefore, the actions of the two of them leaving the banquet one after another did not attract much attention.
The two of them came to the foot of the rockery at the end of a long corridor. It was quiet and dark everywhere, but Ji Wanyou still looked around, obviously feeling uneasy.
Xu Mingyi said: "No need to look, there's no one around -"
She didn't think that the other party was trying to cause any harm. She wanted to avenge Ji Xiu's previous beating by her grandfather, so she chose this place specially.
And even if you really want to do something bad, this place is really nice. There is a lotus pond behind the rockery. It would be very convenient to kick people in and wake them up.
"I have something to ask Miss Xu..."
Walking into the darkness from a brightly lit place, it was difficult to see clearly the expression of the person speaking, but judging only from the tone of voice, one could also hear that the other person was still hesitant.
"Miss Ji, please ask as soon as possible, otherwise it will make people suspicious if you come out for too long."
Ji Wanyou clenched her fingers tightly and said in a calm voice: "May I ask whether Miss Xu and Mr. Zhan are familiar with each other?"
"Zhan Yunzhu?"
Hearing this obviously not polite and friendly tone, Ji Wanyou nodded.
"Barely considered to have some understanding."
"Then what kind of person was Mr. Zhan originally?"
Xu Mingyi's tone had no ups and downs: "He is very good at figuring out people's hearts, and he is very good at using unscrupulous means to gain the trust of others and use them to deceive others -"
Ji Wanyou's expression changed again and again when she heard this.
Is this the Mr. Zhan she knows?
Why does it sound like another person?
But to be fair, these words were not unfamiliar... Her father had said similar words more than once, but she only regarded them as her father's prejudice and misunderstanding...
Her vision had adapted to the dim surroundings, and Xu Mingyi could clearly see the change in the expression on the face of the girl in front of her. At this time, she couldn't help but think of another person——
"Is it possible that Miss Ji likes him?"
Ji Wanyou obviously didn't expect this sentence, and her eyes dodged at this moment, but she didn't deny it.
This is the default.
Xu Mingyi couldn't help but feel a little puzzled - aside from other things, a girl who seemed quite smart and had a good family background, why did she choose to pick her sweetheart among the rubbish?
But then I thought about it, this may not be a coincidence.
If there is mental calculation but no intention, then this so-called liking will most likely fall into the trap carefully woven by Zhan Yunzhu.
Thinking of this, Xu Mingyi said slowly: "There was a girl in the family before. She always liked this person in her eyes and heart, and she was willing to be used by him. She also said that this person treated her very differently——"
Ji Wanyou's eyes tightened: "I wonder who Miss Xu is talking about?"
"It doesn't matter who he is, what matters is that he is already dead."
dead……
How did you die?
Ji Wanyou wanted to ask, but she was not stupid. She knew that since Xu Mingyi specifically mentioned that the other party was being used, the other party's death must be related to Mr. Zhan...
"My advice to Miss Ji is to stay away from this person as soon as possible. Otherwise, once you and the entire Ji family are involved, it will be too late to regret it."
"Really?" Ji Wanyou said with doubtful eyes: "...If something happens to my family, it doesn't seem to be a bad thing for your house. Why would Miss Xu be so kind to remind me?"
From the conversation just now, it is easy to see that this Miss Xu is by no means an ordinary girl whose eyes are confined to the back house.
Xu Mingyi asked quietly: "If you don't believe me, why are you asking me?"
Her family and the Ji family are indeed not on the same side, and there are even some disagreements. Her grandfather just beat Ji Xiu not long ago, but there is no deep hatred or life-and-death opposition for the time being.
Although it would not be necessary for her to rush to remind Ji Wanyou, but since the other party asked her in front of her, she had no reason to pretend not to know and watch a girl who didn't know the whole story of good and bad fall into the pit of fire, right?
