Chapter 113: Give Up as Soon as You Feel Intention

The waiter at Wanhe Tower became Shen Baoqing, the legitimate daughter of General Pingxi.

Apart from the Pei sisters who could not accept this, the second daughter of the Fan family accepted it quite quickly.

She took a step forward and took Shen Baoqing's hand affectionately.

"So it's the younger sister of the Shen family. I haven't seen you for many years. Do you still remember me?"

The other party's sudden affection made Shen Baoqing tremble all over. She pulled her hand back without any hesitation, not bothering to give him any face.

"Who are you?"

As soon as he said this, he was hit by his cousin Bai Shaochuan.

Shen Baoqing covered his forehead and was about to protest, but was frightened by his cousin's serious look.

So he changed his words reluctantly.

"I'm sorry, I forgot everything about my childhood."

"It's okay. My mother is familiar with the second wife of the Bai family. We can play together in the future." She looked at Jiang Yueyao beside her and said, "Shopkeeper Jiang will also come."

Jiang Yueyao smiled but said nothing.

The Pei sisters standing by, however, kept changing their expressions.

Pei Yunzhu was furious and spoke up first. "Isn't Sister Fan your best friend? Now that we're being bullied, why are you still turning your elbows outward?"

Fan Ruining felt a little embarrassed by what she said.

But she still smiled and said, "We are all sisters. We can't make things too awkward when we play together in the future, right?"

"Who are their sisters..."

"Zhuzhu." Pei Yunjin suddenly interrupted her, and when the other party looked at her aggrievedly, she gave him a look that told him to shut up.

Then he looked at Fan Ruining with a smile on his face.

"Rui Ning is right. We will all be in the capital in the future, so today we can be considered as acquaintances." She looked at Shen Baoqing and Jiang Yueyao again, "My little sister has always been outspoken. If I have offended you today, I hope you two girls will forgive me."

Shen Baoqing was too lazy to pay attention to her.

Jiang Yueyao thought that since the other party had taken the initiative to reconcile, it would not be good if they continued to hold a grudge against each other.

So he laughed out loud.

"Qingqing and I were a little impulsive today. I hope Miss Pei will forgive me if there is anything inappropriate."

Fan Ruining smiled at the side.

"Look, now that the misunderstanding has been resolved, we'll all be good sisters from now on."

She looked at Jiang Yueyao and said, "After the banquet tonight, we are going to catch fireflies. You two can come together?"

After she finished speaking, she looked at Bai Shaochuan without waiting for anyone to answer.

"If Mr. Bai is worried, you can come along. My brothers will go too."

Afraid that Bai Shaochuan would disagree, she added another sentence.

"We're out to play, just to have fun."

Fan Ruining has said this much, it would not be good to refuse.

But Bai Shaochuan still looked at Jiang Yueyao and Shen Baoqing: "What do you two think?"

"Okay, Miss Fan is right. When we go out to play, we should have fun. I love catching fireflies the most. Yaoyao, let's go?"

Shen Baoqing agreed, and Jiang Yueyao naturally had nothing to say.

That's how it was settled.

After leaving the pavilion, Jiang Yueyao suddenly felt a little tired.

Bai Shaochuan noticed the tiredness on her face and offered it.

"How about we go to my place? There's a thatched pavilion behind the yard. There's breeze all around, and the shade is thick, so it's very cool."

When Shen Baoqing heard this, he said, "Cousin, please have someone prepare some fruits quickly. I'm thirsty."

"Okay." Bai Shaochuan left first.

Jiang Yueyao took Shen Baoqing's arm and asked her softly, "Are you really going to catch fireflies with Miss Fan and the others tonight?"

"I didn't want to go at first, but then I thought, why shouldn't I go? It's as if I'm afraid of them." Shen Baoqing glanced at her, "Yaoyao, I know you don't like them, but some people won't let you go just because you avoid them."

"But sometimes I feel like I'm quite unlucky." Jiang Yueyao was a little sad. "Before it was Princess Xiangning, and now it's the two sisters of the Pei family. I don't think I've ever offended them. Before this, I didn't even know them, but they keep causing trouble for me."

"Do you think I should go to Xiangguo Temple to burn some incense or something?"

"Yes, yes. I'll go with you then." Shen Baoqing's eyes lit up. "Didn't I tell you? The new abbot of Xiangguo Temple is so beautiful. That face, that figure, that demeanor, every bit of her is exactly what I like."

"What's the point of liking him? He's an abbot, a monk. He has pure minds and doesn't talk about love. You'd better give up as soon as possible." Jiang Yueyao advised her with a smile.

"I've just been tempted, and you want me to give up?" Shen Baoqing said resolutely, "No, I have to try."

Try it?

Jiang Yueyao was startled.

"Don't act rashly. The abbot of Xiangguo Temple is no ordinary person. If you cause trouble, how will it end?" Jiang Yueyao urged her. "Besides, the Emperor hasn't given up on your marriage with Lord Lu. If you cause any trouble, won't you bring trouble to your family?"

Mentioning his family, Shen Baoqing calmed down immediately.

"I'm just saying it, I didn't think anything of it."

"That's good."

The two went to the pavilion at the back of the yard together.

It is a quiet place with shade from trees and lush flowers and trees around, so it is cool and comfortable.

Bai Shaochuan ordered people to serve tea, snacks, and melon seeds and peanuts cooked in brine. The three of them sat together chatting and laughing, and time passed by in a flash.

Night falls.

Shen Baoqing took Jiang Yueyao to meet Bai Shaochuan's mother, Mrs. Cui, the second wife of Bai.

When Cui saw her face, which was exactly the same as her sister-in-law's when she was young, even though the Second Master had already told her, she was still shocked and speechless.

When she came to her senses, she held Jiang Yueyao's hand, her eyes slightly red.

"How could there be two people in the world who are so similar."

Bai Shaochuan was afraid that she would scare Jiang Yueyao, so he quickly reminded her softly.

"Mother, the dinner is almost time. I'll have Miss Yaoyao follow you."

"Okay, okay." Cui pulled Jiang Yueyao, looking friendly, "Would you sit with Qingqing later?"

"Well, thank you, Second Madam."

After some preparation, Second Madam Cui took the two girls out.

Tonight is the first night in the summer resort, and the emperor has ordered a bonfire dinner to be prepared on the large lawn in front.

Before they arrived, they saw a fire from afar. Along the way, they met many people. The second lady and the ladies of other families were walking together, talking and laughing; Shen Baoqing was holding Jiang Yueyao's hand, and the two of them were jumping all the way.

The evening breeze blew, bringing waves of unknown flower fragrance,

Jiang Yueyao was ready to make a move.

"Let's go pick flowers tomorrow morning, shall we?"

"Picking flowers is so boring, right? How about I take you hunting? I can hunt down anything from wild boar to rabbit to muntjac. Then we can roast them and enjoy some wine. Isn't that wonderful?"

Jiang Yueyao was about to speak when Xiaoxi, who was walking behind her, suddenly called her.

When she turned around, she saw Lu Sui.

He was standing under a tree not far away, his dark purple official robe almost blending into the night. If Xiaoxi hadn't pointed at him, she wouldn't have been able to spot him at all.

When she looked over, the other person raised his hand and waved at her, motioning her to come over.

Jiang Yueyao said to Shen Baoqing beside her: "Wait for me."

After saying that, she grabbed the hem of her skirt and ran towards Lu Sui happily...
