Su Yunxi felt that she had redeemed herself from her previous shame, and she could not help but question Bai Shu in a haughty manner.
Jiang and Liu Ruyin on the side were too lazy to pay attention to her. Su Yunxi, who was ignored, broke down again.
She just couldn't believe that Jiang was so patient that she didn't even care about the safety of the Xiangfu Mansion, so she added fuel to the fire again.
"Aunt, you just saw it. His Highness was not at all as happy when he left as when he came. This is a matter of great importance to the entire Prime Minister's Mansion!"
Bai Shu impatiently came out of Jiang's arms, cursing in her heart.
[I haven't enjoyed myself enough yet, I still have to act with you here! ]
[Who understands, my family! I'm really speechless!]
Bai Shu finished her complaints, and the cute little system came online immediately.
[I understand, Susu, the spicy snacks have arrived!]
【Good Tongzi! 】
"I know what you're thinking, but I advise you to give up this idea as soon as possible. If the Prime Minister's Mansion falls, do you think you can still freely choose a husband in the capital?"
Bai Shu's words made Su Yunxi feel ashamed and angry. She seemed to have said nothing, yet she also seemed to have said everything.
Everyone knew the purpose of Su Yunxi being fostered in the Prime Minister's Mansion, but no one had ever spoken about it publicly.
Besides, this also concerns a woman's reputation. If word gets out that she can choose her husband at will, she won't have to live anymore!
"I advise you, sister, to mind your own business instead of interfering in other people's affairs!"
Bai Shu didn't want to continue the battle of wits and courage with Su Yunxi. She had to save some energy to conquer her future sister-in-law.
After that, she took Liu Ruyin to her courtyard, and Jiang prepared food for the two sisters.
Su Yunxi was left alone, with a breath stuck in her neck, unable to move up or down, feeling very uncomfortable.
…
"Shu'er, you seem to have changed a lot."
Liu Ruyin followed Bai Shu back to the courtyard, thinking about what happened today.
She suddenly felt that the two sisters had not been in touch for a long time.
Three years ago, Bai Shu's attitude towards Su Yunxi was not like this, and she had never heard that she was good at medicine.
When the princess asked her to go with her today, she was still wondering, but due to the majesty of the regent, she couldn't tell the truth.
I just didn't expect that Bai Shu actually knew medical skills.
She knew the eldest princess well. Although she left in a hurry, she definitely did not show any sign of being angry with her.
Otherwise, she wouldn't let her stay.
"Sister Liu, reflect on yourself. It's been a long time since you last came to my yard. It must have been at least three years. It would be strange if I hadn't changed!"
Bai Shu playfully accused Liu Ruyin, though she said she was blaming him, she was actually smiling the entire time, with stars in her eyes.
She took Liu Ruyin's hand and headed straight for the garden in the courtyard.
In the place with the most fertile soil and the most abundant sunshine, there are two proudly blooming tung trees standing side by side.
It is not difficult to tell from the lush greenery of the tung tree that the owner must have taken good care of it, otherwise it would not be the most beautiful among the flowers in the garden.
"It's been a while since I last came here. I didn't expect you to take such good care of those two saplings!"
Liu Ruyin stepped forward to observe carefully. When they were young, they had a sudden inspiration and wanted to compete in planting flowers to see whose seeds could take root and sprout.
At first, the adults didn’t understand why the two little girls liked to play in the mud.
Later, both seeds sprouted, of course, this was inseparable from the help of the servants.
But the seeds were planted by the two of them, and now they are more than a meter tall. Time really flies...
"Sister Liu, do you still remember what the tung blossoms represent?"
Bai Shu walked to Liu Ruyin's side and stood, just like the two vibrant tung trees.
"Of course I remember, the tung blossom is the flower of friendship, so even though it's difficult to grow, we still chose to accept the challenge."
When Liu Ruyin saw the two tung trees, she felt a sense of familiarity that she hadn't felt in a long time.
She and Bai Shu and her siblings grew up together. She had been to this courtyard many times and often stayed there when she was a child.
But at some point, with the arrival of Su Yunxi, their relationship gradually drifted apart...
"That's right! Let's go eat your favorite jujube and yam cake. My eldest brother bought it early in the morning!"
Bai Shu invited Liu Ruyin to go to the room for tea and chat.
This is the highlight of today. Bai Shu must make Bai Zixuan appear in Liu Ruyin's life again.
Even if there was a misunderstanding and missed opportunity in the past, she would find a way to make them start again!
As for the meaning of the tung blossoms, Bai Shu did not expose her.
When I was little, I probably didn't understand how my best sisters felt about their brother.
But she understands! Tung blossoms not only represent friendship, but also the first blossoming of love.
Presumably, the childhood fights and the jokes of the elders have already taken root in the hearts of Liu Ruyin and Bai Zixuan.
…
Time passed as the two sisters chatted and talked about everything.
In the evening, Bai Shu wanted Liu Ruyin to stay for dinner, but she was not ready to meet Bai Zixuan yet, so she declined.
Through the afternoon chat with Bai Shu, she could feel that she wanted to match herself with her elder brother.
But a broken mirror is hard to repair, how can things be so simple?
If this fate is really there, then they can get what they want without forcing it.
So Liu Ruyin decided to leave.
However, when the two sisters arrived at the prime minister's residence, they saw an uninvited guest.
"Miss Bai, Mr. Du believes there is some misunderstanding between us. I wonder if Miss Bai has time to talk?"
The person who came was Du Wenqing. When he saw Bai Shu, there was obvious excitement in his eyes.
He originally thought that it would take a lot of effort to meet Bai Shu, but he didn't expect that it was just a coincidence.
Bai Shu couldn't help but feel funny when she heard the voice. She had been pestering him for a whole year without even a glance back from him, but now he was rushing to throw himself at her.
She looked down at Du Wenqing. His clothes and hair were neatly arranged, as if they had been carefully groomed.
But his haggard features and tired expression undoubtedly revealed his thoughts. He probably hadn't slept well recently...
"Sister Liu, I'll take you to the carriage. Don't forget our boating appointment."
Bai Shu ignored Du Wenqing and walked straight towards the prepared carriage with Liu Ruyin.
But how could Du Wenqing be willing to accept this?
Ever since he was rejected in public on the Prime Minister's birthday, his former colleagues no longer paid any attention to him.
Even Bai Heng, who used to pay attention to him, is now extremely indifferent to him.
Although he was the top scholar, according to the rules he could only start as a compiler in the Hanlin Academy.
If he doesn't think of other ways, when will he be able to become an official and stand out from the crowd?
So he tried hard to suppress the shame and dignity in his heart, and called out to Bai Shu.
"Miss Bai, don't you know what Mr. Du means to you?"
Du Wenqing looked at Bai Shu affectionately and swore in his heart,
Just bear with it for now, and when she changes her mind in the future, everything will be under his control again...
