After Retiring from Marriage, I became the Favorite of a Powerful Minister

Shi Qingluo, an expert in agriculture, opened her eyes after her death and transmigrated into an ancient peasant girl.

In the beginning, she was sold by her family and forcibly taken away to ...

Chapter 630 You Must Apologize

This is the most popular temple near the north city, with many pilgrims every day, so a special place for vegetarian meals was built.

There is only one hall with more than 20 tables. No matter what your status is, everyone sits in the hall to dine. There are no private rooms and the meals are the same.

The meals are all vegetarian and the prices are not expensive.

However, because of this, most of the people who come to dine here are ordinary people or ladies from small families.

Xi Rui and his two companions sat at one table, and the maids and servants sat at another table.

"I heard that the vegetarian food in this temple is very good. I just ordered all the dishes for today. Baili, Erlang, you should try them."

Xiao Baili smiled and said, "Can the three of us finish it?"

Although she is now a daughter of an official family, she is still quite frugal and does not like extravagance.

Xiao Baili didn't know that this habit of hers also caused Madam Tu and several ladies from noble families in North City to secretly scold her for being petty.

Xi Rui used to love extravagance in the capital, but since coming to the North City and spending a long time with Xiao Hanzheng's family, many of his habits have become the same as the Xiao family.

He smiled and said, "I brought Dabai with me. We can give it whatever we can't finish to avoid waste."

Dabai is his little girl, he takes her with him wherever he goes, and they have a very good relationship.

Xiao Baili knew that Dabai not only liked to eat human food, but also had a huge appetite.

So he nodded, "With Dabai here, there's really no need to worry about waste..."

The vegetarian meals here are all vegetarian, so there is no need to worry about Dabai getting an upset stomach.

Xi Rui looked very proud, "Of course, I am the best in this area."

In Shi Qingluo's words, he is not good at anything except eating.

But even if he is not good at anything, he still likes it.

The conversation between the two was overheard by Tu Lihuan and others who were walking over.

Several people were speechless.

On the one hand, I feel that Xiao Baili is too petty.

She is already a daughter of an official family, her sister-in-law is a princess, and her future step-father is a prince, but she is afraid of waste. Even if she orders all the vegetarian food here, it won’t cost much.

On the other hand, I feel that Xi Rui has become so difficult to describe after hanging out with Shi Qingluo for so long.

He is obviously the most favored son of the Duke's Mansion and the most dissolute playboy in the capital, but now he is accompanying Xiao Hanzheng's younger brothers and sisters to this kind of place to eat such a vegetarian meal that is not worthy of being served.

They came here because they couldn't save face for Tu Lihuan, otherwise they wouldn't like to dine here with a bunch of untouchables.

Tu Lihuan felt a little unhappy when he saw Xiao Baili and Xi Rui talking and laughing.

This woman is not only petty, but she also chats and laughs with men from other families while dining, which is inappropriate.

Although the people in Northern Frontier are relatively open-minded, let alone Xiao Baili and Xi Rui who brought their younger brother and servants to eat in the hall.

Even if a man and a woman are eating together, as long as they bring their maids and servants, no one will say anything.

It’s just that Tu Lihuan is a rather overbearing and patriarchal person, and he doesn’t like his future wife to be like this.

But he didn't show it on his face.

He looked at the three of them in surprise, "Master Xi, Master Xiao, Miss Xiao, you guys are here to burn incense too!"

Seeing Tu Lihuan appear, Xiao Baili sneered in his heart, it was just as his sister-in-law had expected.

She didn't show it on her face, but seemed surprised as well. "Master Tu, you're here to burn incense as well?"

He looked as if asking why you came here to burn incense.

Tu Lihuan looked helpless, but said in a doting tone: "My sister and her little sister wanted to come and burn incense, so I had no choice but to escort them here."

Tu Yujiao had no intention of offering incense at all, but she knew that her brother wanted to marry Xiao Baili.

Although she disliked Xiao Baili very much, her mother said that only if her brother married Xiao Baili would the family's situation change, so she did not show her dislike for Xiao Baili on her face.

Ever since she met King Yi at the buffet banquet hosted by Shi Qingluo that day, her heart is now filled with King Yi.

He also met her once by chance, but King Yi did not recognize her and did not pay any attention to her.

So she also supported her brother in getting Xiao Baili, and then she would have the opportunity to spend more time with King Yi.

She wanted to find an opportunity to make King Yi fall in love with her and abandon the old woman Kong and marry her.

As long as she can become Prince Yi's princess, the family wouldn't need Xiao Baili's help. Having her as a backer would be enough.

She looked at Xiao Baili with a naive face and said with a smile: "Yes, my girlfriend and I made an appointment to come to burn incense today, and I didn't expect to meet Sister Xiao."

Xiao Baili has been taught by Shi Qingluo for such a long time, and is no longer the cowardly little girl who couldn't read people's expressions.

She saw Tu Yujiao's smiling face and pretended innocence, but there was no smile in her eyes. It was obvious that this girl didn't like her.

Xiao Baili smiled faintly: "Hello, Miss Tu."

Then she changed the subject and said, "I remember Miss Tu seemed to be a few months older than me. I really don't deserve to be called her elder sister."

Tu Yujiao choked, and the smile on her face could hardly be maintained, "Really?"

For the purpose, she was flexible and said with an apologetic smile: "I'm so sorry, I didn't know that."

Xiao Baili discovered that this person was very scheming. If it were any other young lady from aristocratic family, she would have walked away with a wave of her sleeves.

Just like the two ladies next to Tu Yujiao, they had angry looks on their faces and were obviously dissatisfied with what she said.

She smiled at Tu Yujiao, "Don't blame those who don't know. I don't mean to blame Miss Tu."

Tu Yujiao was of course unhappy, but she smiled and said, "I'm glad Sister Xiao doesn't blame me."

Xiao Baili was a little fed up with her attitude. They weren't familiar with each other to begin with, and it was boring for her to pretend even though she didn't like him.

Her sister-in-law told her that if she didn’t like someone, she could be willful, and with them as her backers, she didn’t have to worry about offending anyone.

So Xiao Baili looked at Tu Yujiao with some helplessness, "Miss Tu, it seems like we don't even know each other. I don't dare to be your sister."

She didn't like Tu Yujiao, who was too fake, so she didn't want to pretend to be nice to her.

This time Tu Yujiao couldn't keep her smile going, and for a moment she didn't know what to say.

Not only her, but even Tu Lihuan's smiling face froze.

His beloved sister, whom he held in the palm of his hand, was embarrassed one after another by Xiao Baili.

A peasant girl is a peasant girl, she is really not presentable.

If Xiao Baili wasn't still needed, he would have surely been unable to resist making a few sarcastic remarks to Xiao Baili and left with his sister.

He didn't know how to speak at this moment, so he glanced at the people around him. He believed that someone would do it for him.

The people he called here today are all from big families in North City. Because of their high status and background, they are usually very arrogant.

He originally wanted to bring a few people with him to pick a fight with Xiao Baili, and then he would help Xiao Baili resolve the situation and win her favor.

Now these people can also help his sister vent her anger.

Sure enough, a lady standing next to Tu Yujiao looked at Xiao Baili unhappily, "Who is Jiaojiao? She is so humble to greet you, which means she thinks highly of you. You are so rude."

Another young lady also said with a sullen face: "That's right, you've gone too far. You must apologize to Jiaojiao."
