"I will not give you such a chance. Let alone taking concubines, there will be no other women around me." Qi Zhen said seriously.
"Remember what you are saying now, and remember what I just said. I am not joking." Bai Banxia gritted her teeth at him fiercely, making Qi Zhen laugh.
"remember."
There are still many days to come, and only time will tell what will happen to this man.
When the two returned home, they chatted about what they had seen today.
After talking for a while, the eldest cousin suddenly said: "Cousin, I seem to have seen Aunt Li today. She must have seen us while passing by, but she seemed to be afraid of disturbing us. She wanted to say hello but held back and looked from a distance.
I'll be leaving soon."
She didn't tell Aunt Li the location of her family's stall. Aunt Li probably bumped into her by chance, but thinking that the Bai family was still considering marriage, she felt it was a bit abrupt to go and say hello.
"Aunt Li is alone?" Bai Banxia asked.
The eldest cousin nodded, "Yes, she is alone."
Bai Banxia also hoped that Li Lu'er would happen to be by his side, so that his eldest cousin could see Li Lu'er and talk about his feelings.
But thinking about Li Luer's experience, I'm afraid he doesn't like going out very much.
A quick glance at him from a distance is just for appearance. If he really wants to see each other, it is better to talk to him in person and have a few words.
"Cousin, what are you thinking about? Why don't we find time to meet and talk first." Bai Banxia asked.
"Okay, let the other party take a look at it. This girl may not be attracted to me." The eldest cousin said a little embarrassed.
Bai Banxia pursed her lips and snickered, "My eldest cousin is so good-looking, how can I look down on him?"
The eldest cousin blushed, "What nonsense are you talking about? I'm not even one-tenth as good as Qi Zhen. If you hadn't blackened Qi Zhen's face, he would have been spotted by many girls on the street."
"Don't involve me." Qi Zhen said coldly.
"It's just that you're getting shy. Hey, we didn't bring any decent clothes when we went out. You see that this girl can't wear anything too shabby. What should you do?" My aunt said worriedly.
The eldest cousin blushed even more, "That's enough, otherwise it will look too deliberate."
"Then I'll go back to Aunt Li and make an appointment with her." Bai Banxia pulled Qi Zhen out and said, "You guys will eat first, don't wait for us."
The two went directly to Zuixian Tower. Unexpectedly, Aunt Li was not there. Bai Banxia asked the shopkeeper, hoping to find the Li family, but was afraid of being too abrupt.
"The boss's house is nearby. I'll just send someone to guide you." Unexpectedly, the shopkeeper had already made his decision enthusiastically.
Bai Banxia had no choice but to thank her and follow the waiter sent to Li's house.
The waiter called the door outside, and soon an old man came and opened the door. From the waiter's name, he should be the old servant at home.
"Madam, you have a guest!" the old man shouted into the yard, his voice was extremely loud, it could be said that it was like a bell, and even Bai Banxia was startled.
The Li family's yard is quite large, but the sound was carried to the back, and soon Aunt Li was seen striding out.
When she saw clearly that it was Bai Banxia, she simply ran over in three steps and then two steps.
"Why don't you go in directly when Banxia is here? You're too polite." Aunt Li took Bai Banxia's hand and said to the old man: "Uncle Zhong, this is Dr. Bai who treated me. From now on, I will bring you in directly."
alright."
"Okay, madam." The old man's voice was still loud.
Aunt Li led the two of them into the yard and explained with a smile: "Uncle Zhong used to be the earliest shopkeeper in our store. He was born with a good voice and almost went to sing in opera. Back then, he shouted at the door of the store and the whole person was stunned.
You can hear it from all over the street.”
"Later, he got older and couldn't stand for long, his wife also left, and my daughter got married out of town, so we took care of him in his old age and let him work as a concierge at home. He has a good voice and is used to shouting. Didn't it scare you?
"
Bai Banxia smiled and said: "No, no, my dad is about to meet. I don't know how envious he is. He has such a good voice and can be heard singing on the streets selling pancakes and fruits."
Aunt Li also laughed, "I saw him making pancakes and fruits during the day. He was so awesome. I couldn't think of these lyrics even if I wanted to flip the pot."
While they were talking, they had already arrived in the hall, and a maid served tea.
"We are from a farming family, and we are not used to having servants. In addition to Uncle Zhong as a janitor, Sister Liu is the cook who also helps with making tea and other things." Aunt Li said.
"It's good. Moving more is good for your health," Bai Banxia said.
Aunt Li looked happy and said, "You came to find me. Do you have any good news?"
"I have left you guessing. My eldest cousin is a little confused after hearing this, but he doesn't care about the rumors, nor is he afraid of others gossiping. He just feels that he is not outstanding and his family background is average, so he is not worthy of your girl."
Bai Banxia said slowly.
"Impossible. If you hadn't said anything, how could he do this to me? He also needs the support of the Ming family. He is not a fool. How could he only look at beauty?" Mingzhu said angrily.
"Miss Ming, you are not like a famous lady in the capital now. Losing your status here will not do you any good. As for competing for favor, just think about it yourself. When a man has his heart set on you, it is useless what others say.
"After Bai Banxia finished speaking, she ignored her, rang the bell, and shouted loudly to the door: "Next one!"
Mingzhu wanted to say something more, but the waiter had already sent the next patient to the door, and the door of the consulting room was also opened, so Mingzhu had to swallow the words that came to her lips.
She thought of Bai Banxia's words about losing her identity, straightened her back, suppressed the anger on her face, and returned to her aloof and noble appearance.
When Bai Banxia saw her leaving, she couldn't help but sneer in her heart. Isn't it a pity that Mingzhu was defeated like this? Let her fight with the master of Luomei Pavilion so that the Seventh Prince can be more lively.
When it was time for the next consultation, Qi Zhen came to pick up Bai Banxia and already knew about Mingzhu's visit.
"Is she causing trouble for you?" Qi Zhen asked.
"Just her? Is she okay?" Bai Banxia said disdainfully, "It's just that she has fallen out of favor. Let's vent her anger and ask if we said anything to the seventh prince."
Qi Zhen couldn't help laughing, "You pretend to be smart, but you're still a fool at heart."
"So I reminded her a little bit and asked her to think about it more so that she could compete with the one from Luomei Pavilion and keep the Seventh Prince busy." Bai Banxia winked at him.
"Do you still know how to fight for favor?" Qi Zhen asked with raised eyebrows.
Bai Banxia glared at him, "I don't understand, but if my husband dares to take a concubine, I will poison him directly and save the fight for favor."
"Shouldn't you ask him about your affairs? Didn't you fall out of favor in front of the Seventh Prince and blame it on us?" Bai Banxia sneered. Even though Mingzhu is the most talented woman in the capital, she is not as good as the Luomei Pavilion.
Compared with the Lord, his appearance and figure are quite different.
