It was only after Jiang Yuanyao's death that she realized...
Chapter 141 Mid-Autumn Festival 2
Soon, the door curtain was lifted again, and a tall figure walked in. Jiang Yueyao raised her eyes to look at the other person, and the other person happened to look at her.
But he was soon blocked by another figure.
Bai Shaochuan walked over to greet him, "Third brother is back."
Bai Shaoting glanced at him, nodded slightly, then walked around him and went straight to the front seat.
"Grandson greets grandpa and grandma. Please don't be offended by my late return today."
The old lady likes the younger generation in her family very much.
How can I bear to blame?
Besides, Bai Shaoting is the chief judge of the Dali Temple. Wherever there is a case, he will be there. In addition, he is keen on solving cases. If it were not the Mid-Autumn Festival today, he would not be seen.
"Don't be surprised." The old lady said with a smile, "Brother Ting, look, this is the girl I told you about last time."
The other person suddenly raised his eyes and looked at Jiang Yueyao.
Jiang Yueyao immediately stood up from the old lady's arms and greeted him: "Greetings, Third Young Master."
Bai Shaoting glanced at her, then turned his head to look at Bai Shaochuan who was standing beside him.
He raised his eyebrows slightly and gave the other person a look that could only be understood.
Bai Shaochuan smiled lightly and then sat down aside.
It's not that he lacks confidence, but his third brother is better than him in every aspect. In addition, no matter how hard he has tried recently, Jiang Yueyao has always been polite to him as before.
Bai Shaochuan was really unsure.
But at this moment, a look from his third brother let him know that what his uncle said was true. The third brother only had the case in his eyes, not the girl.
He doesn't understand love.
Bai Shaoting raised his hand and said, "Miss Yaoyao, please don't be so formal. We are all family from now on. There is no need to be polite."
Jiang Yueyao was a little confused after hearing this.
She stood up straight and looked at Bai Shaoting, her eyes clear, yet with a hint of confusion.
Bai Shaoting smiled at her, then turned around and sat down next to Bai Shaochuan.
As soon as I sat down, I received a cold stare from the parents across from me.
Those two rolled eyes showed their disappointment and helplessness towards his "not fighting back".
Especially Bai Jinyan.
I wish I could kick him twice.
This damn kid, he just gave away such a delicate little girl for nothing.
Regret it!
He really regrets it!
If he had known this, he should not have let him enter the Dali Temple, dealing with dead bodies and prisoners every day. Now, even girls are not interested in him.
The eldest lady standing by probably also thought of this.
He reached out secretly and pinched him hard.
"It's all your fault!"
Uncle Bai Jinyan was in tears.
Compared with the disappointment of the first wife, the second wife can be said to be in high spirits.
Second Madam Cui waved to Jiang Yueyao: "Yaoyao, come here and sit here."
Before, at the Mountain Resort, Cui treated Jiang Yueyao very well.
Jiang Yueyao is also close to her.
She sat next to her, Cui held her hand and talked to her with a smile.
There was a lot of joy in the house.
Jiang Yueyao felt happy and relaxed, and was in a trance.
She looked up at Shen Baoqing, who was leaning on the old lady's arms, acting coquettishly while eating snacks; the old master was talking to the two masters, and several young masters of the Bai family also gathered together, chatting and laughing...
very nice!
This kind of warmth made her addicted and unable to extricate herself.
At dinner, the old lady and the old tutor gave gifts to each child.
Jiang Yueyao received a red coral and South Pearl necklace, exactly the same as Shen Baoqing's. She stroked it with her hand and couldn't control her tears anymore.
How lucky is she to have met a family that treats her so sincerely?
Everyone here treated her very well. The old lady had even given her a safety lock, a matching one with Baoqing's, and a blessing plaque from Xiangguo Temple...
They treated her sincerely,
But she seemed to have nothing to give.
After dinner, Shen Baoqing couldn't wait to pull Jiang Yueyao out to play.
The old lady was a little worried, so she gave instructions to her two grandsons.
"Brother Ting and Brother Chuan go together and keep an eye on the two girls. Don't let them get lost."
Bai Shaochuan naturally agreed.
Rather than shopping, Bai Shaoting prefers to stay in the study and read more books related to the case.
But today was Mid-Autumn Festival, so he naturally would not refuse his grandmother's request and nodded.
The four of them went to Jinxiufang.
Tonight, Jinxiufang was bustling like New Year's Eve, with lanterns and decorations everywhere and people bustling about. There was no curfew tonight, with people guessing lantern riddles, pitching pots, shooting arrows, dancing Hu Ji, and circus monkeys performing... And over by the moat, young men and women were meeting up to release lanterns...
Shen Baoqing pulled Jiang Yueyao, watching the monkey show for a while, and then playing pot toss.
Finally, when she saw others winning beautiful lanterns by guessing riddles, she also dragged Jiang Yueyao to join in the fun.
Two people who don't like reading serious books were puzzled by the riddles.
Shen Baoqing nudged Jiang Yueyao with his elbow: "You go ahead."
Jiang Yueyao took a step back; "You should do it."
Bai Shaochuan, who was standing by, couldn't help laughing when he saw this.
"Let me do it." He asked Jiang Yueyao, "Which lamp do you want?
As soon as Jiang Yueyao arrived, she set her eyes on the four-sided sheep-horn palace lantern at the top. The light was soft and pure, and very eye-catching.
"That one." She looked at Bai Shaochuan, "Is the one on the top okay?"
Bai Shaochuan met her clear eyes, smiled and nodded.
"Okay, I'll win for you."
As the son of the Bai family, small riddles were just something he could come up with casually.
Jiang Yueyao was extremely happy holding the four-sided sheep-horn lantern.
Under the blazing trees and silver flowers, the girl wore a goose-yellow tuxedo and a plain white long skirt. She was fair and delicate, and her eyes and eyebrows were curved because she was very happy. Bai Shaochuan was mesmerized by her gaze.
Shen Baoqing on the side immediately pulled Bai Shaoting's arm: "Hurry up, third cousin, get me one too, I want the round one."
Bai Shaoting naturally agreed.
Two girls, one pretty and the other charming, walked in front, each holding a lantern.
Behind them were two handsome young gentlemen, each more handsome than the other.
This group of four quickly attracted the attention of others.
Opposite the teahouse, elegant room on the second floor.
After Duan Yanzhou and Lu Sui finished their discussion, they looked up inadvertently and saw Jiang Yueyao.
The lantern riddle guessing stall was just opposite the teahouse. In addition, among the group of people, the four of them were extremely eye-catching in terms of both clothing and appearance. It was not surprising that Duan Yanzhou could see her at a glance.
He withdrew his gaze and looked at the man drinking tea opposite him.
"Turn around and look down."
Lu Sui ignored him and drank his tea.
Duan Yanzhou was so angry that he kicked him: "Your little Yaoyao is about to be snatched away by someone, and you are still drinking tea."
Lu Sui raised his eyes and looked at him.
Then he turned his gaze and looked out the window.
When he looked over, Bai Shaochuan happened to be handing the sheep horn lantern he had won to Jiang Yueyao.
The girl happily reached out to take the sheep-horn lantern, her eyes curved with a smile. She seemed to be saying something to Bai Shaochuan, and the other party also smiled.
His eyes were full of tenderness as he stared straight at the girl.
The girl seemed unaware and continued to look at the other person and smile happily.
Lu Sui's grip on the cup suddenly tightened...
