Just when Jiang Jinyue and Luo Xinyue were eating happily, Ruyi rushed in from outside and whispered a few words into Jiang Jinyue's ear.
"Oh, sister Luo, I can't hold my liquor. You go ahead and I'll be back soon." Jiang Jinyue pretended to be drunk and was helped by Jixiang into the inner room.
Luo Xinyue also took a sip of the sour osmanthus wine, feeling proud in her heart, thinking that the Jiang family was just so-so.
However, looking at the table full of delicacies from land and sea, Luo Xinyue imitated Jiang Jinyue's behavior just now and tasted them carefully. This was a treatment that she would not get in Linzhou.
However, Luo Xinyue had just taken two bites when she saw a man hurriedly walking into Yuehua Pavilion.
"Jiang." Gu Huaizhi initially thought that the person sitting and having dinner was Jiang Jinyue. After walking closer, he saw clearly that the woman in front of him was not Jiang Jinyue.
Luo Xinyue was already pretty, and at this moment, Gu Huaizhi was actually a little stunned for a moment. This was a beauty different from Tang Wan'er, Tai Jingwan, and Jiang Jinyue.
Although the alcohol content of the osmanthus wine was not high, it was still slightly intoxicating. At this moment, Luo Xinyue's face was slightly red and she was a little drunk.
For a moment, he didn't notice Gu Huaizhi approaching and was enjoying himself alone.
Luo Xinyue was intoxicated with the feeling of having been promoted from the daughter of a minor official to a noble lady in the capital.
...
...
"Who are you?" Gu Huaizhi looked at the person in front of him and couldn't help but ask.
"Who are you?" Luo Xinyue looked at the imposing man in front of her, her heart pounding.
I thought to myself, this man is really handsome.
"My lord, this girl might be Madam Jiang's guest." Zhongshun guessed carefully, and then he looked around for Jiang Jinyue.
Lord Marquis?
When Luo Xinyue heard this name, she started to have some thoughts in her mind.
If she felt that Tai Yunqing, the second son of the Shangshu Mansion, was the best marriage she could get, however, Tai Yunqing was only the second son of the mansion, and what the Tai family had should have little to do with him.
Moreover, as far as she knew, Tai Yunqing had always had a good relationship with her sister. She had seen Tai Yunqing from afar several times, and he looked as if he didn't want to be in a hurry to meet a stranger.
But the person in front of me is a marquis.
Thinking of this, Luo Xinyue thought, if she could marry this marquis, wouldn't that be better than marrying Tai Yunqing?
"My humble daughter Xinyue greets the Marquis." After figuring it out, Luo Xinyue stood up and bowed to Gu Huaizhi leisurely.
When Luo Xinyue stood up, she pretended not to be able to stand steadily and fell directly in front of Gu Huaizhi.
Gu Huaizhi reached out and caught Luo Xinyue without thinking.
Instantly, the fragrance of his daughter entered Gu Huaizhi's nose, making him swallow his saliva.
Zhongshun, who was standing by, quickly covered his eyes, feeling annoyed. Didn’t he say he was here to find Mrs. Jiang?
How did he get involved with a woman of unknown origin?
"Thank you, Lord Marquis." Luo Xinyue seemed to be frightened and quickly took a few steps back.
Then she secretly glanced at Gu Huaizhi, her little face blushing.
Gu Huaizhi had never experienced such a feeling before.
"Who are you? Why are you here at Jiang's?" Gu Huaizhi asked with a light cough, thinking to himself, could it be that this woman is Jiang Jinyue's sister?
"My Lord..." Zhongshun was watching anxiously. For some reason, he felt that there was something wrong with the way his Lord looked at the woman.
"You go down first." Unexpectedly, Gu Huaizhi mistakenly thought that this was the concubine given to him by the Jiang family, so he decided to enjoy it well.
"My Lord, this is not right!" Zhongshun was really anxious now.
You have to know that this is Yuehua Pavilion. Even if my lord really likes this girl, he should take her to Qingfeng Courtyard.
"What, are you the master, or am I the master?" Looking at this ignorant Zhongshun, Gu Huaizhi rebuked coldly.
"I'm going to take my leave now!" Zhongshun thought that the Xuanping Marquis Mansion was probably doomed.
"Marquis... Marquis, I was invited to your house by Sister Tai and Sister Jiang." Luo Xinyue was a little excited when she saw that Huaizhi had even sent the old servant away.
This marquis must have taken a fancy to me, right?
Thinking of this, Luo Xinyue shyly glanced at Gu Huaizhi a few times.
"Xinyue, right?" Seeing Luo Xinyue, who was as shy as a bright camellia, Gu Huaizhi couldn't help but step forward, pinched Luo Xinyue's chin, and asked softly, "Do you know who I am?"
"You are the Marquis." Luo Xinyue looked shy but felt somewhat proud in her heart. It seemed that she was quite charming, otherwise, the Marquis would not treat her like this.
Thinking that she might become the Marquis's woman, Luo Xinyue took a step back in fake fear and whispered, "The Marquis is looking for Sister Jiang? Sister Jiang may be drunk and may have fallen asleep."
After Luo Xinyue finished speaking, she quickly lowered her head, not daring to look at Gu Huaizhi again. In her heart, she was thinking about what kind of reason she should find to get involved with Gu Huaizhi.
Jiang Jinyue saw this scene.
"Miss, aren't you going out? Miss Luo is so shameless that she doesn't even know how to hide when she sees a stranger." Ruyi said unhappily.
"What are you going out for? I can't hold my liquor. They two are quite a good match." Jiang Jinyue didn't want Gu Huaizhi, this rotten cucumber.
Besides, didn't she keep Luo Xinyue because she wanted her to protect her from Gu Huaizhi?
As long as Gu Huaizhi dares to have any relationship with Luo Xinyue in Yuehua Pavilion, she will have a reason to move to Sister Tai next door.
However, Jiang Jinyue thought, didn’t Gu Huaizhi say that Tang Wan’er was his true love?
At this time, Gu Huaizhi must have completely forgotten about his cousin Tang Wan'er, right?
"Jixiang, I remember that my mother prepared some spices for me to help me have fun, right?" Jiang Jinyue was planning to add fuel to the fire for the two of them.
"Miss, are you crazy? The Marquis is your husband." Ruyi said disapprovingly.
"I didn't say he wasn't. How can I be the only one working hard to expand the Marquis's Mansion?" Jiang Jinyue urged Jixiang to go quickly.
"Miss, aren't you afraid that Miss Luo will step on you after she becomes favored?" Ruyi said dissatisfiedly.
"That's only if she can step up to the top. In this mansion, besides the legitimate wife, I'm the boss. She's at most a concubine." Jiang Jinyue said indifferently.
Luo Xinyue must enter the mansion, otherwise, who will compete with Tang Wan'er?
Her?
She would never do such a thankless job.
Tai Family
Tai Hesong and Tai Qingche sat in the hall with gloomy faces.
"What's wrong with you two, father and son?" Lou looked at their expressions, somewhat puzzled.
"Madam, let's go to the Gu family tomorrow and bring Wan'er back home." When Tai Hesong thought of the news he had received, he couldn't help but want to kill Gu Huaizhi as soon as possible.
