"Having not read many books, one naturally doesn't know anything about hospitality."

"I apologize to you on behalf of the prince consort."

Ms. Ge chimed in, "Yes!"

"The prince consort did indeed do something wrong, but he also paid the price for it, getting a good beating from that thief."

"By the way! Miss Lin! There are specialized gardeners in the palace who have cultivated some very rare flowers."

"How about I take you to see it?"

"These flowers can only grow in specific temperatures and specific soils, but the gardener's skills are truly excellent, which is why we have the opportunity to see so many rare and exotic flowers in such cold weather."

"It's a good opportunity for us women to relax."

"Don't get involved with these men."

Lin Ru nodded.

"I really like flowers."

"I don't really like getting involved with these men, but if I just leave like this, I don't know if the Marquis would be happy."

"After all, the Marquis invited me here for the sake of the people, didn't he?"

"But do you think women are not qualified to talk about the people and the world?"

Madam Ge opened her mouth, but ultimately said nothing. Just now, this little girl was completely at her beck and call, and she had placed all the people she had arranged around her. But now, why is she acting like a hedgehog with its fur standing on end?

Before they could come up with a solution, Xu Yixuan stepped forward and walked to Lin Ru's side!

"Actually, I really love looking at flowers."

"I think whether to love flowers or to love the people of the world should not be a matter of gender."

"After all, there are many men in this world who love flowers as much as I do, and there are many women who love the people as much as Miss Lin do."

"Then let's go see the flowers together."

"The gardener's hard work in tending to the garden was not in vain."

Ge had no choice but to back down.

She felt that today was incredibly difficult for her.

"Okay, let's all go together then."

"I didn't think it through."

Lin Ru nodded.

"You didn't consider the week before; you must correct that next time."

Madam Ge was being so polite, but she never expected this little vixen to say such a thing!

I was so angry I could choke!

He flicked his sleeve and left first!

After she left, Lin Ru glanced at Bai Shi behind her without leaving a trace!

Bai nodded slightly to reassure her.

Lin Ru then looked at the young men that Madam Ge had sent to her side, and her smile returned.

Where were we?

The young men were momentarily stunned. They had initially resisted the task, as they were all from collateral branches of their respective families, yet everyone outside treated them with utmost respect. To be asked to sell their camerawork to please a young girl and make her fall head over heels in love with them seemed like a waste of their talents. With their looks, they could easily have women lining up for them with a flick of their fingers.

What's more, this woman came from a village, some remote mountain valley, and then ate and slept with a group of men in the military camp. Who knows how many men touched her body? It's truly disgusting.

However, precisely because they were from collateral branches of various families, and because they were slightly more attractive, they had no choice but to obey the arrangements.

When they finally saw the girl, although they were amazed by her beauty, they couldn't help but feel disgusted.

They came out rather late and didn't see the officials that the clan was so proud of, lying on the ground like dead dogs.

Therefore, they were somewhat lax in their treatment of Lin Ru, but now they were truly astonished. In the past 800 years, they had never seen the eldest daughter of the Ge family suffer such a humiliation!

That's the Ge family, that's the Marquis's wife!

And surprisingly, the Marquis didn't even step forward to speak...

Xu Yixuan squeezed through the gap as if he could find a spot.

"What were you guys talking about? Want me to join in?"

Lin Ru turned back to look at him with a half-smile, and out of the corner of her eye, she saw Lin Dayong walk to Bai Shi's side. Then, without any servants, the two of them walked to the side!

Lin Ru withdrew her gaze and said with a smile, "Young Master Xu, you'd better not come with us."

"Look at those two beauties behind you, they're practically tearing their handkerchiefs to shreds."

"You should talk to them more. You already have so many young masters with you, so one more won't make a difference."

Xu Yixuan tugged at Lin Ru's sleeve, somewhat speechless. "Miss Lin, Goddess, Your Majesty the Empress! Please have mercy on me. I am not worthy of such a beauty's favor. Why don't you take me with you? I can do anything they can do."

"What they can't do, I can do too."

"You can only look at these people, you can't take them back. But I'm different. Not only can I look at them, I can also take them back. As long as you give the order, I'll go back and explain to the Marquis that I'll join your ranks. What do you think?"

Looking at Xu Yixuan's appearance, Lin Ru suddenly remembered a Samoyed she had seen online before!

That pitiful and aggrieved expression.

They are exactly the same.

But if he says this, isn't he afraid that his confidants will go back and tell the Marquis of Zhenbei exactly what he said?

"Young Master Xu! Please don't say that. If the Marquis of Zhenbei finds out, he might just draw his sword and chop me up."

"You are now a trusted and beloved general of the Marquis of Zhenbei."

"How can you compare to others?!"

"Stop joking with me."

Xu Yixuan actually wanted to say that he was serious, but suddenly felt a sharp pain in his wrist. He looked at the person holding his wrist, his eyes full of confusion.

"Young Master Wu!?"

Why are you doing this?

Wu Ling said coldly, "Men and women should not touch each other. Young Master Xu, please have some self-respect."

Xu Yixuan tried to pull his hand back, but the hand was like a vise, clamping down on his wrist and making him unable to move at all.

He sensed a strange hostility in the other person's eyes, and wondered if he was being a little too nosy with his master.

He was no pushover either, and he only showed his obedient and submissive side in front of Lin Ru. Even in front of the Marquis of Zhenbei, he was usually very cold!

How dare a mere guard treat him like this?

Xu Yixuan used a little of his internal energy!

The two immediately began to compete.

However, Wu Ling still had a slight advantage, directly placing Xu Yixuan next to Ge Xun and the other person!

And she whispered a warning in his ear, "So what if he's a handsome young general? I'm warning you, touch the people you should touch, and don't touch the people you shouldn't."

"Take back all your little schemes."
