Chapter 223 The Marquis ran away in anger again, but she wasn't angry?

Zhao Bailu already had a bad temper that was easily provoked, and Gu Hanyue, whether on purpose or not, was always provoking her.

Now that's it, Zhao Bailu's expression changed immediately. She pointed at Gu Hanyue's nose and said, "Shut up! Shut your mouth! What does it have to do with you what I'm saying here? You're so annoying and shameless!"

"What? What did you say?"

"Say it again, you said I'm shameless?"

Gu Hanyue looked at Zhao Bailu in disbelief. He stood up, his eyebrows furrowed tightly, stared at Zhao Bailu for a long time, and finally stomped his foot in anger, turned around and left.

"ill!"

Zhao Bailu picked up a piece of cloud cake, stuffed it into her mouth, and mumbled a curse indistinctly.

this……

Observing the way the two of them interacted, Meng Yanzhi began to feel sorry for Gu Hanyue. Even if they got married, this young marquis's life would probably be very difficult.

She quickly took out the calligraphy she had practiced recently and showed it to Zhang Xuanyun, staring at him expectantly and saying with a grin, "Although I've been very busy lately, I haven't slacked off at all, sir. Look, isn't it a bit similar to your calligraphy?"

"Are you copying my calligraphy?" Zhang Xuanyun stared blankly at the characters on the Xuan paper.

His expression was so obvious!

Meng Yanzhi didn't know what was wrong with her. She had tried very hard to practice calligraphy in both her previous and current lives, but she just couldn't get it right!

Now, looking at Zhang Xuanyun's expression, Meng Yanzhi knew that her imitation was not good enough!

Her eyebrows were tightly furrowed, and she lowered her head in frustration, saying sullenly, "I just don't understand, why is it that even though I've tried so hard, I still can't catch up with you, sir?"

“Practicing calligraphy also requires talent, and perhaps your talent lies in this.” Zhang Xuanyun pointed to the cloud-shaped cake in front of him.

Is this some kind of consolation? Or just another blow?

Meng Yanzhi looked at Zhang Xuanyun expectantly, and then said, "Sir, you really don't know how to talk to girls. How will you ever get a wife if you keep talking like this?"

"Ahem! What nonsense are you talking about?" Zhang Xuanyun blushed instantly and glanced at Meng Yanzhi with a helpless expression.

Meng Yanzhi didn't think there was anything wrong with what she said; on the contrary, she spoke eloquently and logically.

“What I said isn’t wrong. You’re a man, and you’re not young anymore. You’ll have to get married sooner or later.”

"Sir, you've been in the capital for so long, haven't you found a woman you like? Or did you have a childhood sweetheart back in the countryside? Tell me, and I can help you make some arrangements."

Meng Yanzhi rested her chin on her hand, looking at Zhang Xuanyun with a face full of curiosity.

In her previous life, Meng Yanzhi only heard that he had both a son and a daughter, but she didn't know what kind of woman he loved and who could spend her life with him.

Zhang Xuanyun never expected that Meng Yanzhi, an unmarried young girl, would say such outrageous things.

He was extremely embarrassed, so he hurriedly put down the cloud cake in his hand, got up and walked outside.

Why are you running?!

"I was just asking casually!"

Meng Yanzhi looked at Zhang Xuanyun's disheveled figure, not knowing whether to laugh or cry. Turning her head, she found that Zhao Bailu was seriously eating the pastries on the table, which made her worry again.

"Eat, eat, eat! All you ever think about is eating!"

"You've driven Gu Hanyue away, how can you still eat?"

Meng Yanzhi looked at her with a mixture of amusement and exasperation.

But Zhao Bailu clearly didn't take it to heart. She shrugged indifferently and said lightly, "Let him leave. He has legs, and I can't control whether he leaves or not."

"Rouge, I'm really going crazy! Look at him! He's not only a complete spoiled brat, but he also has a sharp tongue! I get angry every time I'm with him!" Zhao Bailu said, her temper flaring up again.

Now, Meng Yanzhi realized that even though this person wasn't in front of Zhao Bailu at all, just mentioning him could still make her very angry, but...

Meng Yanzhi quickly noticed something different!

She looked at Zhao Bailu with some curiosity: "Have you ever hit him?"

"No," Zhao Bailu said truthfully, biting into a pastry.

Meng Yanzhi suddenly laughed out loud: "I still remember the first time we met, you punched and kicked Xu Shize just because he said a few things you didn't like. How come you don't use your fists when dealing with someone you hate now?"

"fist?"

"Hehe, this is hilarious! Look at Gu Hanyue's small frame. He can withstand my punches? I'm afraid I might accidentally kill him. Then the Ningyuan Marquis's mansion will come after me for him!"

As Zhao Bailu spoke, she didn't forget to show Meng Yanzhi her fist.

That's true, but if I remember correctly, Xu Shize was the one who was truly powerless.

The Ningyuan Marquis's family is, after all, a military family. Gu Hanyue has studied martial arts carefully since she was a child. How could she be so easily beaten?

Noticing that Meng Yanzhi's gaze was becoming increasingly strange, Zhao Bailu immediately put down the pastries in her hand and asked warily, "You, you, what exactly do you want to say?"

"What I want to say is that there are very few people in this world who you can scold or beat at will, so you should learn to cherish them."

"You can't change marriage, so you have to learn to manage it and live a good life with it, right?"

Meng Yanzhi smiled gently and looked at Zhao Bailu.

When the topic of the engagement came up, Zhao Bailu was filled with bitterness. She lowered her head and said sullenly, "Actually, I originally thought that my future husband would be a majestic and awe-inspiring general, but I never expected that he would find me such a worthless piece of trash! I just don't understand what my parents were thinking. What's so good about this Gu Hanyue?"

"Don't you know what's good about him?"

"Then tell me, what do you think is wrong with him?"

Meng Yanzhi gently patted Zhao Bailu's head. Even though the two were about the same age, Meng Yanzhi was always very patient with Zhao Bailu. She felt that Zhao Bailu was like a child who never grew up.

Zhao Bailu took a deep breath, then started counting on her fingers: "This person is cunning, lazy, greedy, and sly, a complete wastrel, with a sharp tongue and a penchant for meddling in other people's business!"

"But I don't know what's wrong with me. I used to hate him, but now he's always around me. I feel like if I spend the rest of my life with this person, it might not be so bad. But! You've seen how he treats me!"
