Chapter 235: What Has He Become?

At noon, Bai Jinyu received a large bunch of peonies.

She curiously asked the person who sent it, "Who sent it?"

"It was the girl and the Regent. They came across a flower garden outside, and the girl thought you might like it, so she bought these and brought them back to you."

Bai Jinyu nodded and asked the people to leave.

Just then, Shen Huaishan came over and saw her holding a large bouquet of flowers and laughing. He couldn't help but ask, "Where did you get them?"

"Of course it's from your daughter," she said, pausing for a moment, "and also from your future son-in-law."

Shen Huaishan gave her an unpleasant look, took the flowers from her hand and handed them to the maid beside him, then sat down opposite Bai Jinyu.

"What good son-in-law? I didn't agree to it."

Bai Jinyu peeled some peanuts and fed them to him, saying softly, "I understand how you feel, but looking at the entire capital, and even the entire Daye, how many men are better than Lu Sui?"

"If you don't want Xiaoqi to marry so early, then it's not too late to let her marry when she turns 18, but you can finalize the marriage."

Shen Huaishan said, "Eighteen is too early, twenty is about right."

"Heh!" Bai Jinyu suddenly sneered, "My father said the same thing when you married me, but did you agree then?"

"Chen Huaishan, I married you just after I turned 18, and you didn't think it was too early."

When the past was mentioned, Shen Huaishan's momentum suddenly weakened a bit.

He reached out and took her hand, smiling: "How can he compare with me?"

"Yes, you're the best man in the world." Bai Jinyu withdrew her hand and discussed with him seriously, "The two of you are inseparable now. You spend more time together. If you don't agree, your precious daughter will always be without a name and status like this. If the news gets out, it will never sound good."

"Why not arrange the marriage? No matter what happens between the two of you, it will be legitimate."

Bai Jinyu's words enlightened Shen Huaishan.

It's not that he is stubborn and ignorant, it's just that Baoqi has just returned, and Lu Sui has been eyeing his precious daughter covetously. Any father who loves his child would feel uncomfortable.

Feeling uncomfortable will lead to rejection.

He knew very well in his heart that it was not that Lu Sui was bad. On the contrary, how could a young man who was liked by his father-in-law be bad?

Now, after hearing what Bai Jinyu said, he slowly put away his inner resistance.

He nodded, which was rare.

"When he comes over tonight, we'll talk to him."

Seeing that he had softened his attitude, Bai Jinyu took the initiative to move forward and kissed his lips.

Shen Huaishan, who originally had no idea, felt hot all over because of her touch.

So he reached out, picked the person up, and strode into the inner room...

-----

There is a farm nearby, and there is a family in the farm that cooks delicious fish.

It just so happened that Jiang Yueyao loved eating fish, so Lu Sui took her there.

The signature dish is tofu fish.

The tender tofu pudding melted in the mouth, and paired with the dipping sauce in the store, Jiang Yueyao was so comfortable that she was dazzled.

Lu Sui looked at her and chuckled, "Little greedy cat."

He placed the prepared fish on the plate in front of her. Jiang Yueyao ate while looking at him: "Why don't you eat?"

"Not hungry."

Jiang Yueyao picked up a piece of fish and put it in his bowl: "It tastes better if we eat it together."

Lu Sui glanced at her and started eating slowly.

After dinner, he took her fishing. When the fish were sent back, Bai Jinyu immediately asked the kitchen to grill a few for everyone to taste together.

Went to town in the afternoon.

Although the town is small, it sells everything.

But because it was hot, the two of them went out to drink tea and listen to opera, and had a great time the whole afternoon.

After having enough fun, we returned to the mountain.

Dinner is ready.

Because they had something to discuss tonight, Shen Huaishan didn't call anyone from the Bai family, so the four of them sat in the pavilion in the yard.

Lu Sui sat next to Jiang Yueyao, opposite Shen Huaishan and Bai Jinyu.

There were wine and food on the table, and Shen Huaishan opened one of the jars of wine.

"Today we have wine, meat, and fresh river food. Let's all have a drink."

Jiang Yueyao's eyes lit up: "Then I'll try this wine too."

"Okay." Shen Huaishan glanced at her, "Don't blame me if you cry when it's spicy."

"No wonder." Jiang Yueyao looked at Bai Jinyu across from her, "What would you like to drink, mother?"

"Fruit wine, I really can't stand the taste of this Yu Li Bai." She doesn't like drinking, so naturally she doesn't know whether the wine is good or bad.

This jade pear white was sent by Lu Sui early this morning.

There were ten jars in total, and Shen Huaishan was secretly happy for the whole day.

He likes this kind of wine. He can eat two taels of rice just by smelling the aroma of wine.

Lu Sui took the wine jar he opened and poured a glass of wine for Shen Huaishan first. Then he picked up the fruit wine and poured a glass for Bai Jinyu, and finally for him and Jiang Yueyao.

Bai Jinyu became more and more satisfied with him.

"It's just the four of us today. You two rarely have a day off, so let's all talk together."

Lu Sui nodded, put down the wine jar and sat down.

Even someone as slow-witted as Jiang Yueyao could sense something was amiss.

But when she looked at her smiling mother and her father whose expression was relatively relaxed, she felt relieved.

Halfway through eating and drinking, Shen Huaishan finally turned the topic to business.

He looked at Lu Sui and said, "I won't stop you now. Go back and discuss it with your parents. Pick a good day. The two families can sit together and decide on your marriage."

Although he had expected it in his heart, Lu Sui was visibly happy when he heard Shen Huaishan say it himself.

"Yes!" Perhaps because he was a little excited, the usually calm Prince Lu's voice trembled slightly. "Zhong Qian thanks the Duke and Madam for their support. I will return to the city early tomorrow morning to discuss this matter with my parents."

"There's no need to be so anxious." When Shen Huaishan heard that he would return to the city to discuss it early tomorrow morning, he suddenly regretted it. "But let me be clear, Xiaoqi is still young. I've discussed with her mother and want her to stay with me for two more years."

Lu Sui naturally agreed.

"I understand your and your wife's feelings, and everything will be in accordance with your wishes."

Shen Huaishan was very satisfied with his attitude. He raised his glass and clinked it with his. They both drank the wine in their glasses at the same time.

Lu Sui secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

He tilted his eyes slightly, looked at Jiang Yueyao who was in a daze beside him, and smiled slightly: "Are you stupid?"

Jiang Yueyao drank a few sips of Yulibai tonight.

This wine was naturally different from the fruit wine she usually drank. It had a high alcohol content. After just two or three sips, her face had already turned red and her eyes were blurred.

She smiled at Lu Sui.

"I'm very happy."

"Lu Sui, my father finally agreed to let me marry you."

"Yeah." Lu Sui looked at her with eyes full of doting.

He poured her a cup of warm water and handed it to her mouth. Jiang Yueyao, such a lazy girl, didn't even want to lift her hands. She just put her mouth close to it and let Lu Sui feed her half a cup.

Opposite at this moment...

Bai Jinyu and Shen Huaishan fell silent at the same time...

One who feeds so skillfully.

One drinks as a matter of course.

I guess he serves me a lot on weekdays.

Bai Jinyu moved closer to Shen Huaishan.

"Why are you silent?"

"Look at what you've become..."
