Not long after, Ji Shaoang, the third son of the Ji family, was found at the home of the eldest son of the Xue family.
The Ji siblings were the first to leave the Xue residence. As the head of the household, Xue Lingyue was the one to see them off. The rest, those who wanted to curry favor with Ji Rongshan, followed them to the second gate. The remaining few, including Wan Xueying, had no choice but to follow the others.
Unexpectedly, at the second gate, in addition to Xue Fengyu, the eldest son of the Xue family, and Ji Shaoang, I also saw Pei Xuanqing and Shen Yu.
Shen Yu stood behind Pei Xuanqing, head bowed, unnoticeable. He was deliberately trying to minimize his presence. Honestly, if he hadn't been afraid of Wan Xueying being bullied at this gathering, he wouldn't have asked Pei Xuanqing to bring him here to be scrutinized by so many women.
Pei Xuanqing is different. No matter when or where he is, as long as he goes there, he carries an invisible aura with him, and with his handsome and heroic face, it is difficult for people to ignore him.
"Who is that..." A young lady couldn't help but whisper to the young lady next to her who she was close to.
"If my guess is correct, he should be Miss Xue's fiancé."
"Pei Xuanqing, Lord Pei?"
"Yes, it's Master Pei."
The young lady glanced at Ji Shaoang, then looked at Pei Xuanqing, and said with a sigh, "No wonder Miss Xue chose Master Pei. If it were me, I would definitely choose him too."
"Just tell me this, these companies are not ones we can afford to offend."
The young lady stuck out her tongue and said, "That's what my sister reminded me of."
When Ji Rongshan saw Pei Xuanqing, she excitedly blurted out: "Pei Xuanqing!" and subconsciously asked, "Why are you here?" She seemed to be quite familiar with him.
However, for Pei Xuanqing, this familiarity was just a matter of familiarity. He had only met Ji Rongshan twice when he visited Ji Yun.
Hearing Ji Rongshan's words, he frowned slightly in displeasure. Instead of answering Ji Rongshan, he looked at Xue Lingyue and explained to her: "I came to visit County Magistrate Xue, and by the way, accompany Lord Shen to pick up his fiancée." He sold out Shen Yu without any hesitation.
Shen Yu, whose name was called, reluctantly stepped forward and bowed to Xue Lingyue, saying, "My name is Shen Yu, nice to meet Miss Xue."
"Master Shen," Xue Lingyue glanced behind her, "Xueying is back there. But you may have to wait a moment. I have something to discuss with Xueying."
"Don't worry, you go ahead and do your work first." After saying that, Shen Yu retreated behind Pei Xuanqing again and pretended to be invisible.
The gossipy lady turned to look at Wan Xueying the moment Shen Yu was mentioned, and thought to herself: This guy is really lucky, but I wonder if they will still be as sweet and happy after they get married.
Wan Xueying was also very happy when she saw Shen Yu. She didn't expect that this silly boy would think of asking Pei Xuanqing for help to pick her up. This protective feeling was still very touching and face-saving.
The most embarrassed person here was Ji Rongshan. After being left aside by Pei Xuanqing, her elegant and considerate image was somewhat broken, but she regained her composure in an instant. She said to Ji Shaoang, "Brother, let's not disturb you anymore. Let's go home first."
"Okay, let's go back now." Ji Shaoang saw Pei Xuanqing, a love rival who was extremely jealous of each other, and saw everyone looking back and forth between the two of them, which was extremely awkward, so he couldn't wait to escape. Ji Rongshan's suggestion at this time was exactly what he wanted.
After leaving everyone's sight, Ji Rongsan approached Ji Shaoang and complained in a low voice: "Didn't I ask you to take Xue Lingyue there? How come you can't even handle such a small matter?" He still wants to win the beauty? Dream on.
"It's not that I didn't want to," Ji Shaoang explained hurriedly, "but Xue Fengyu and Qian Youyun messed it up."
"Could it be that what Wan Xueying said is true?" Ji Rongsan widened her eyes in surprise.
"Wan Xueying? Who is Wan Xueying?"
"She is Shen Yu's fiancée, the real daughter of Yuan Dingyang Bo." Ji Rongshan explained.
"So it was her." Ji Shaoang asked curiously again, "What did she say that made you think it was true?"
"She said Qian Youyun was being affectionate with a man in the woods."
"Could she have seen it?" Then would she have seen him plotting against Xue Lingyue? On second thought, that was impossible. He and the servant had searched for a long time but hadn't found anyone else.
Then Ji Rongshan said, "Not necessarily. It was because Qian Youyun was picking a fight to please Xue Lingyue first, and she casually retaliated and said that. But she also whispered something to Qian Youyun, and scared Qian Youyun so much that he apologized to her immediately."
"What did he say?" Ji Shaoang was also very curious.
Ji Rongshan shook her head, "I don't know." Then she brought the topic back, "Stop interrupting. Why didn't you tell me why such a simple thing wasn't accomplished?"
"Didn't I tell you that Xue Fengyu and Qian Youyun got in the way? They went there first, and by the time I was trying to lure Xue Lingyue over, she had already left the locker room (toilet)."
The brother and sister had no intention of doing anything to Xue Lingyue. Besides, they couldn't really do anything to the Xue family on their territory.
It's just that Ji Shaoang wanted to fight for himself again, and Ji Rongshan wanted everyone to see that Xue Lingyue and Ji Shaoang were involved, so that Pei Xuanqing would have a bad impression of Xue Lingyue.
Although the plan failed, neither of them suffered any loss, they were just in a bad mood.
Qian Youyun was in an even worse mood. After everyone left, before Xue Lingyue went to find Wan Xueying, she cautiously asked Wan Xueying, "How did you know I was pregnant?" Could it be that Wan Xueying saw her meeting Xue Fengyu?
In fact, she was already careful enough, and only told Xue Fengyu about her pregnancy and returned quickly. She also deliberately explained Xue Lingyue's whereabouts so that no one would suspect that she had left.
Wan Xueying said, "I don't know if you're pregnant. I just heard other girls say you're very careful when you eat and you touch your belly from time to time. They joked that you look like you're pregnant."
"You lied to me?" Qian Youyun was so angry that his lungs were about to explode.
"I just heard it from others." Wan Xueying looked innocent.
In reality, the people she'd met at the pavilion were Xue Fengyu and Qian Youyun. She'd originally wanted to quickly take Baiji away and get away from the trouble, but when she tried to take a detour, she noticed someone else lurking around. She'd also vaguely heard them mention bringing Xue Lingyue over.
She had no other choice but to change her route with Baiji. She then heard Xue Fengyu asking Qian Youyun to abort the baby.
She didn't know Xue Fengyu at first. It was only when she heard Qian Youyun calling him Brother Fengyu in a sweet voice that she realized that this matter still involved the Xue family.
The master and servant finally managed to avoid the people on both sides and walked onto the main road, where they met Xue Lingyue who was coming back from the toilet.
Still not wanting to get involved in the mess, when Xue Lingyue suggested taking her around Merlin, she deliberately took Xue Lingyue away from the people on both sides, and left first on the pretext of feeling a little cold and wanting to go back to the flower hall to warm up.
As expected, the reason Xue Lingyue kept her was to ask about what happened before.
