25 The waning moon, the drizzling wind...
Jiang Xiao was not angry either. He leaned over and whispered something in Yang Mingzhu's ear.
Yang Mingzhu was stunned at first, then asked in disbelief, "Really?"
"Of course!" Jiang Xiao looked confident, which made everyone curious.
Yang Mingzhu thought for a moment, then said in a serious tone, "I am not doing this for Jiang Xiao's sake, but this... Miss Xiao is right! Today is someone's birthday party, we should celebrate together, so I will be magnanimous and forgive you this time!"
Then he remembered something and said to Xu Huaili, "But, Xu Huaili, remember to fulfill your promise. You are all my witnesses!"
"Yes, yes, yes!" "We are naturally willing to witness General Xu's lofty ambitions!"
Xu Huaili had no objection and agreed immediately.
Li Yunran thanked him stammeringly, looking dazed.
Xiao Tingyun was inexplicably saved face, but he was still unable to react.
But according to this development trend, it seems... it seems... maybe it was Jiang Xiao who saved the heroine? ?
Xiao Tingyun was not sure, but at least Li Yunran remembered Jiang Xiao.
I still remember thanking Jiang Xiao, and the sincerity in his eyes didn't seem fake.
The matter was over, and Jiang Xiao called on everyone to leave with him.
Xiao Tingyun didn't want to have any entanglement with those rich ladies, so she simply left with her maid.
Plan to find a secluded place.
Liu Yuhua was planning to go with them, but unexpectedly Xiao Tingxue suddenly said, "Yuhua, I think I saw Master Qi over there just now!"
"Where!?" Liu Yuhua suddenly came back to her senses, "Did you really see it?"
Xiao Tingqi was speechless. He didn't know what was wrong with Liu Yuhua.
Not only does he like looking at beautiful women, he also doesn't care about gender, and his taste is quite picky.
This Master Qi, Qi Feng, is one of them.
Xiao Tingqi snorted and went to play with her sisters. She was afraid that Liu Yuhua's infatuation would affect her brain!
Fortunately, she walked fast, otherwise she would have fallen in front of Jiang Xiao and cried, wanting him to help her up. Instead, he said apologetically, "I'm really sorry. I'm a clean person and I can't stand seeing a crying girl. I'm afraid that her tears and snot will splash on me."
Although he said it with a smile at the beginning, the indifference in his eyes made her face turn red with anger.
I will never believe his nonsense about being a flower-guarding playboy again.
If Xu Huaili is a mighty general and Jiang Xiao is a handsome and elegant young man from a noble family, then Qi Feng is a young man full of scholarly airs.
Qi Feng's family background is not prominent, but he loves reading, and he has a unique charm as a gentleman of noble character.
Unfortunately, Mr. Qi doesn't like to go out, so he is rarely seen at banquets.
Liu Yuhua, who loves to look at all kinds of beauties, naturally didn't want to miss this rare and handsome young man.
Although she was reluctant to part with Xiao Tingyun, since Qi Feng was a man, she had fewer opportunities to admire him.
That's why Liu Yuhua seemed so anxious.
Xiao Tingxue was startled, and her voice lowered as she pointed in a direction, "I'm not sure, but it seems to be him, going in that direction."
Liu Yuhua staggered, and because she was blocked by the trees, she saw a young man in a hurry, but she was not sure whether it was him.
Liu Yuhua simply took her maid and chased after him. As long as they could see the front face, it would be fine!
As he left, he looked towards Xiao Tingyun with great regret, "I hope Miss Xiao San didn't go too far. I can't see enough of her!"
When the people walked away, if anyone noticed, they would find that Xiao Tingxue, the fourth lady of the Xiao family, had a cold expression on her face.
She whispered to the maid Cui'er, "Did you see it?"
Cui'er lowered her head and whispered, "I saw it."
Xiao Tingxue stared at her indifferently, and said word by word with a chilling coldness, "Then do it, and remember to be careful."
Xiao Cui swallowed and said in a trembling voice, "Miss, do we really have to do this? But, but..."
Xiao Tingxue chuckled, but there was no smile in her eyes. Her voice was sweet and hurtful, "Did we do anything? We were just reminding others."
Xiao Cui looked around and was still a little scared, "But what if..."
"Nothing can happen!" Xiao Tingxue interrupted her harshly, pursed her lips, and looked horrified, "It was just an accident!" She added softly, "You and I grew up together. Your parents worked so hard to send you to the inner house. It was not easy. You can't let them down."
"Yes," Xiao Cui nodded reluctantly.
Xiao Tingyun took Caixing and Lanzhi along a path in the garden.
Seeing a stone bench, she stopped to rest. She had walked a short distance, but it was still a bit difficult for her body.
He was slightly out of breath and his cheeks were flushed.
"Miss, please sit down first. I'll ask someone to bring some warm water and food." Seeing this, Lanzhi hurried to prepare.
Xiao Tingyun nodded, "Go ahead, come back quickly, don't get into conflict with others easily."
"I understand."
Caixing looked around the outer circle and stood quietly behind her.
After a moment, Cai Xing suddenly turned around and shouted, "Who is it?"
Xiao Tingyun was startled, "What's wrong?"
Cai Xing stared at the person who came without missing a beat, and it turned out to be Xu Huaili.
Xiao Tingyun was a little surprised, he stood up and saluted, "General Xu."
He walked straight towards them with slow and light steps, and stopped when they were within three steps of each other.
Xu Huaili frowned, with an unspeakable look in his eyes, "You..."
Xiao Tingyun waited to hear what he said, but he didn't finish for a long time, as if he was considering his words.
Xiao Tingyun was a little puzzled. Shouldn't the male protagonist go and comfort the female protagonist right now?
Why are you here instead?
And she remembered that in the original text, Xu Huaili looked disgusted as soon as he saw her.
Things seem weird today, but I can’t tell what’s wrong!
It feels like confirmation and also like missing something.
But there seems to be no disgust!
Could it be that the plot of this book has collapsed? But she hasn't done anything yet, it can't be that serious!
Moreover, she didn't intend to get involved in their love-hate relationship. She still had a few years to live, and if she could survive safely until the end of the line, it would be considered a few more years of gain.
Without the support of this female supporting role, would the relationship between the male and female protagonists be more complicated? ?
Not really...
Just as Xiao Tingyun was daydreaming, he didn't notice that Xu Huaili's face was tense, making his already tough features even more resolute. He said abruptly, "The dusk is over, the moon is waning, and the wind is blowing..."
Xiao Tingyun frowned, somewhat confused, and asked, "Hmm? What is General Xu talking about?"
It was these words that made the glimmer in Xu Huaili's eyes disappear.
Without explaining, Xu Huaili only said in a deep voice, "I just happened to pass by. Sorry to bother you."
Then, without waiting for Xiao Tingyun's reply, he strode away, the boots on his feet making a clattering sound, and his back looked hurried and desolate.
