Tu Lihuan and the others were rebuked by Xi Rui's harsh words, so they decided not to stay for dinner as they could not afford to lose face.
Tu Lihuan still tried hard to maintain his composure, "Master Xi, Miss Xiao, we have something else to do, so we'll leave first."
Tu Yujiao felt the looks from the untouchables sitting around her and felt very uncomfortable.
But she knew she couldn't get angry, she still had to maintain the composure of a lady from an aristocratic family.
The key point is that she was afraid that Xiao Baili would say bad things about her to King Yi after returning.
So he forced a smile and said, "Ms. Xiao, I just wanted to make friends with you before, so I didn't pay attention to the propriety of addressing you, which led to your misunderstanding. I'm sorry."
She took note of this matter and would wait until Xiao Baili married her brother to see how she would deal with the other party.
How could Xiao Baili realize that Tu Yujiao said one thing in front of others and another behind their backs?
She said calmly: "It's okay, just be careful not to make random relatives in the future."
Tu Yujiao choked, "Then you guys have your meal, we'll leave first."
There was no way to chat today.
Xiao Baili nodded, "Goodbye!"
Xi Rui glanced at a few people arrogantly and ignored them. Instead, he picked up a piece of radish that had just been served with a serving chopstick and put it in Xiao Baili's bowl.
"Bai Li, let's not bother with these vulgar people. Let's taste this radish..."
Xiao Baili smiled sweetly, "Thank you, Brother Rui. I'll try it then."
Then Xi Rui added another piece for Erlang, and the three of them started eating the vegetarian food, ignoring Tu Yujiao and the others.
Tu Yujiao and others: "..." I don't know who is vulgar, this playboy is too much.
Tu Yujiao and another young lady felt particularly uncomfortable and were constantly feeling sour.
Xi Rui looked down on these noble ladies, but he was so nice to a village girl. Was he blind? Xiao Baili, the village girl, was really shameless. She actually ate the food picked by a foreign man.
Tu Yujiao thought that after Xiao Baili married into their family, she would ask her mother and brother to keep a close eye on her and not let this woman go out, otherwise it would be too embarrassing if she hooked up with other men.
Tu Lihuan also felt very uncomfortable when he saw this. Calling him Brother Rui so intimately was simply shameless.
When he marries her, he will teach Xiao Baili a good lesson on how to be a good wife.
Xiao Baili didn't know what the two siblings were thinking at the moment, otherwise she would probably have been unable to resist whipping them.
Naturally, Tu Lihuan couldn't stay any longer, so he left.
Several people were already full of anger and had no appetite at the moment.
After coming out, Tu Yujiao took people to look for the young lady who ran away crying.
Tu Lihuan took a few other people to a pavilion.
The expressions of several young masters from aristocratic families were all unhappy, and it was obvious that they were upset by being scolded by Xi Rui.
Tu Lihuan could only pretend to be broad-minded and comfort them.
Tu Yujiao also found her good friend in another pavilion and comforted him in the same way.
While comforting, he also used more subtle words to provoke and instigate.
This made the woman not only hate Xi Rui more and more, but also hate Xiao Baili.
Since their goal was not achieved, Tu Yujiao and Tu Lihuan naturally did not leave, and still had people keeping an eye on Xiao Baili.
After Xiao Baili and the other two finished their vegetarian meal, Xi Rui asked his followers to pack up the remaining dishes and give them to his son.
Xiao Baili suggested with a smile, "There's a pond of fish in the backyard of this temple. Shall we go take a look?"
Ji Lang smiled and said, "Okay, I want to feed the fish too."
Xi Rui naturally would not object, "Let's go and take a look."
The three of them went to the pool in the backyard, where there were quite a few people standing.
Some small merchants set up stalls selling fish food near the pond for pilgrims to buy to feed the fish.
Xi Rui asked the servant to buy some.
Xi Rui handed a piece to Xiao Baili and said, "Feed it for fun."
Xiao Baili took it and said with a smile: "Thank you, Brother Rui."
Because Xi Rui and others have a very close relationship with Xiao Hanzheng and Shi Qingluo, Xiao Baili calls them Brother Rui, Brother Xiao, Brother Zhe, and Sister Rongrong.
Xi Rui didn't think anything of this title before, but ever since his family wanted him to marry Xiao Baili, he had always been paying attention to her after he returned to Northern Xinjiang.
Then he came up with some little thoughts, and now every time Xiao Baili called him "Brother Rui", he felt as sweet as if he had eaten honey in his heart.
Then he accompanied Xiao Baili and her brother to feed the fish.
On the other side, Tu Lihuan and Tu Yujiao heard the servants and maids reporting Xiao Baili's movements in their ears.
The two men's eyes lit up; the opportunity had come.
They knew that the fish pond in the backyard of the temple was very famous. If nothing unexpected happened, Xiao Baili should go to feed the fish.
So they had devised a plan.
However, they had originally arranged for a single passerby to accidentally push Xiao Baili into the water, and Tu Lihuan would immediately jump in to save her.
He rescued Xiao Baili from the pool in front of so many people and had physical contact with her. Xiao Baili had no choice but to marry, otherwise her reputation would be ruined.
But now that person can be discarded, after all, there is a better candidate.
So Tu Lihuan called the young masters to go and see the fish.
Tu Yujiao also coaxed the young lady into feeding the fish to relax.
The others followed without giving it much thought.
Then I saw Xiao Baili standing by the pond feeding the fish. She was looking down at the fish in the pond with a gentle smile on her face, giving people a sense of warm beauty.
Tu Yujiao stood not far away and whispered in surprise, "I didn't expect Miss Xiao and the others were also feeding the fish."
Then he looked at his two friends with some embarrassment, "How about we not feed them?"
He looked like he was about to give in, but this only aroused the other two people's desire to compete with him.
"Why don't you feed the fish? This fish pond doesn't belong to Xiao Baili."
The woman who ran away crying earlier also said: "That's right, we still want to go. If she can feed the fish, we can feed them too."
Then he took Tu Yujiao over and told her not to be afraid of a country girl.
Both of them felt that Xiao Baili was going too far. If they gave in, wouldn't they be inferior to that country girl?
So they went over to buy some fish food and deliberately walked over to Xiao Baili to feed her.
When Xiao Baili saw the few people, she did not greet them, but lowered her head and continued to feed the fish.
Being ignored like this made the three of them even angrier.
Tu Yujiao sneered in her heart. She would see if Xiao Baili could still be so indifferent in a while.
Soon, Tu Lihuan and others also arrived.
The few of them did not buy fish food, thinking that this was just a gesture made by little girls, and walked to the fish pond to look at the fish.
After Tu Yujiao's brother came over, she deliberately squeezed her friend next to her as if by accident.
This lady was also the one who was scolded and cried by Xi Rui before.
She was squeezed and almost fell into the fish pond, but was caught by Tu Yujiao in time.
Tu Yujiao looked embarrassed, "I'm sorry, I didn't stand firmly just now, and almost made you fall."
The young lady was pulled back and didn't fall, so she naturally wasn't angry. She smiled and said, "It's okay."
Then she continued to feed the fish, looking at Xiao Baili's reflection in the water, and suddenly she came up with an idea.
