Chapter 171 What Can You Fight With Me?

In the morning, as soon as Bai Shaoting left, Jiang Yueyao regretted it.

Why would she bother with a man in prison?

Thinking that he was not well fed and clothed and had injuries on his body, Jiang Yueyao immediately softened her heart.

She went to the small kitchen, made some fresh chicken soup, added some morels, kneaded and rolled out the dough, and was busy as a bee.

Shen Baoqing sat on a small stool and lit a fire for her.

"Oh! You actually let him order the food! If I were you, I wouldn't bother to cook for him. Eat it or not. You should act like you're in prison!"

Jiang Yueyao took a chicken leg out of the jar, put it in a small bowl, and handed it to her.

Shen Baoqing ate the chicken leg with his mouth mumbling.

"Don't think I'll stop talking just because I've shut you up. I'm telling you, men are born cheap. If you treat him well, he won't know how to cherish you."

Jiang Yueyao waited for the water in the pot to boil.

Don't care.

"I just thought about how good he was to me before, so I couldn't just sit back and watch him."

"I can't save him, but I can always make him eat better."

Shen Baoqing looked at her and shut up.

After cooking the noodles, Jiang Yueyao put them in a casserole and put them in a lunch box.

Shen Baoqing wiped his hands: “I’ll go with you.”

Jiang Yueyao shook her head: "No need, I'll be back soon after sending it over, it won't take long."

She carried the food box out of the door, got on a carriage and headed straight to the Dali Temple.

At this time, it was almost noon, and the carriage stopped across the road in front of the government office.

She walked over with the food box, but the guards at the yamen gate stopped her from entering.

"What kind of place is this? Can anyone enter?"

Jiang Yueyao took out the silver she had prepared long ago and handed it over: "I'm here to deliver something to Bai Sizhi. Please go in and call him, sir."

When he heard that it was a delivery for Bai Shaoting, the other party no longer refused. He took the silver and signaled his companion to go in and call someone.

Jiang Yueyao stood under a tree holding a lunch box and waited patiently.

After waiting for a while, I saw someone coming out from the corner door next to me.

She thought it was Bai Shaoting, but when she looked closely, it turned out to be a girl.

The other person was wearing a cloak and a hat that covered his entire face. She couldn't see his appearance clearly, but she felt inexplicably that he looked very familiar.

After the person came out, she subconsciously glanced in her direction and was about to turn around and leave through the other alley. However, the moment she saw Jiang Yueyao, she paused and suddenly walked towards her.

The moment the other person turned around and walked towards her, Jiang Yueyao recognized Pei Yunjin.

She was surprised for a moment.

How could the legitimate daughter of the prime minister come out of the Dali Temple?

But when she got closer and met her disdainful and sneering eyes, Jiang Yueyao suddenly had a bad feeling in her heart.

She subconsciously clenched the food box in her hand and looked at Pei Yunjin who walked in front of her.

Pei Yunjin stood in front of her, glanced at the food box in her hand, and raised his eyebrows slightly.

"Are you here to bring food to Lord Lu?"

Jiang Yueyao didn't say anything.

He glanced aside and waited patiently for Bai Shaoting to come out.

Seeing that she didn't say a word, as if she didn't hear what she said, Pei Yunjin couldn't help feeling a little annoyed.

"Jiang Yueyao, you are so shameless! Lord Lu has disliked you for a long time, yet you still shamelessly approach him! If I were you, I would stay away from him so as not to bother him."

Jiang Yueyao looked back at her and chuckled.

"Ms. Pei is talking about herself?"

Pei Yunjin's expression changed, but he quickly smiled again.

"You saw me come out just now. Do you know who I went to see?"

Jiang Yueyao pursed her lips and said nothing.

She had guessed it just now, but she didn't dare to believe it.

Seeing her like this, Pei Yunjin became even more proud.

"I went to see Lu Sui. He rarely sees people nowadays. I am the only woman he wants to see. So, Jiang Yueyao, stop dreaming. The one who is worthy of him has always been me, Pei Yunjin."

"And you, an orphan girl from outside, what can you compare with me?"

If she hadn't seen her coming out of the Dali Temple with her own eyes, Jiang Yueyao wouldn't have believed anything Pei Yunjin said.

But she witnessed with her own eyes...

Her eyes trembled slightly, and her hand holding the food box tightened.

The fingertips turned slightly white due to the force.

"You're lying to me, I won't believe you!"

I saw her face turned pale and her eyelashes trembled slightly.

Pei Yunjin smiled more and more proudly.

"There's a light blue bundle on his desk. Was it you who gave it to him?"

"There's a piece of clothing in there. Did you make it yourself?"

"To be frank, a man of his status would definitely not wear that kind of coarse linen even if he was imprisoned. How could you have the nerve to send him in?"

"Fortunately, Lord Lu didn't even wear it. He just left it there in disgust. Who knows, he might throw it away tomorrow."

If we say that just a moment ago, Jiang Yueyao still had some doubts about Pei Yunjin.

So the moment she mentioned the light blue bundle, she believed everything.

How could she know so much if she hadn't seen it with her own eyes?

The area around her heart felt like it was being grabbed by a sharp claw, and the pain was so severe that she couldn't breathe properly.

Pei Yunjin looked at her.

Her eyes were red and her whole body was shaking.

I felt more refreshed than ever before.

"Jiang Yueyao, stop pestering me."

"Lu Sui has already promised me that when he is released from prison, he will find someone to propose marriage to me."

"We are a perfect match, a match made in heaven."

"And you, a lowly merchant girl, what right do you have to compete with me?"

"Jiang Yueyao, you are so childish and ridiculous!"

After saying this, Pei Yunjin turned around and left in a hurry.

When the footsteps gradually faded away, Jiang Yueyao staggered and leaned against a tree trunk nearby.

The tears that were held back rolled down.

All hopes and attachment to Lu Sui were shattered at this moment.

In fact, she had known it for a long time. She was just a pet raised by Lu Sui.

When I like someone, I want to hold them in my arms and I can never like them enough.

After getting tired of her, he abandoned her and ignored her.

But she refused to give up.

She had to cling to him shamelessly, trying to get a little charity and the love he had before from him.

But no!

Lu Sui is a cold-hearted and cold-blooded person by nature.

He just doesn't like it!

Keep pestering him will only make him more annoyed.

At this moment, Jiang Yueyao felt disheartened.

She picked up the food box, turned around, got on the carriage and left.

As soon as she left, Bai Shaoting came out.

Looking at the empty doorway, he asked the guard beside him, "Where is she? Didn't Miss Jiang say she was looking for me?"

"Leave."

"Gone?"

Bai Shaoting felt puzzled, but he didn't ask any more questions and turned back to the yamen.

…

For three consecutive days, Lu Sui did not receive the breakfast sent by Jiang Yueyao.

He specifically asked someone to call Bai Shaoting.

"Has something happened to her?"

Bai Shaoting looked puzzled.

"No, I'm fine. I even went to Xiangguo Temple with my grandmother yesterday. But I don't think I'm in good spirits."

"Are you sick?"

"I don't know." Bai Shaoting squatted down in front of him. "If you're worried, why don't you write her a letter and I'll take it to her for you."

Lu Sui thought about it and shook his head.

"never mind!"

Bai Shaoting poured him a cup of tea and lowered his voice.

"Your people have already arrived in Beijing. Grandfather said he will arrange everything. Please be patient!"

"Um."

"Then I'll leave?" Bai Shaoting stood up and walked out, but stopped halfway.

"Oh, I forgot to tell you,"

"My fourth brother has been coming to Yaoyao Courtyard quite often recently. They are always talking and laughing, and they are much closer than before."

"Lord Lu, are you sure you don't want to write a letter to strengthen the relationship between you and Xiao Yaoyao?"
