Jiang Wanyi said a few more words, and the maid beside her followed suit. However, Jinyue always greeted people with a smile, but she was very careful and refused to let them in. It was so embarrassing to just stand outside the man's courtyard and be blocked.

Jiang Wanyi looked unhappy and smiled awkwardly. Jinyue refused to even stay for the porridge - because Lu Sanlang was really annoyed by the cousins ​​who came and went in his house, and he really didn't accept anything the cousins ​​gave him.

Lu Sanlang's personal maid was so difficult to talk to and didn't give her face. After all, she was a noble lady. No matter how gentle her temperament was, Jiang Wanyi couldn't save face. Her face was slightly red, and she winked at the maid and turned around and left. Her maid was a step slower. She quietly pulled Jinyue and passed a jade bracelet to her through her sleeve, trying to please Jinyue: "When will Sanlang come back today? Sister Jinyue, you and I have known each other for so many years, why do you still don't trust us girls? We girls just see that Sanlang is too tired..."

Jiang Wanyi glimpsed her maid and Lu Sanlang's maid talking happily. She went to wait for others behind the rockery not far away. Her heart was in a knot, beating up and down, and she couldn't rest. She was unwilling to lose to Luo's daughter like this. Luo's daughter's family background would only bring trouble to Sanlang. In this era, even among the gentry, there are differences between gentry. A big family like Lu's family would complement Ruyang Luo's family in the past. But now Ruyang Luo's family is gone, and Lu's family marrying Nanyang Luo's family is self-degrading. In the gentry circle, it is a laughing stock.

Lu Sanlang was such a handsome man, a famous scholar in the world, how could he become a person who was laughed at? Luo's daughter was going to marry up, but Lu Sanlang was going to marry down. Just thinking about Lu Sanlang marrying Luo Lingyu, he would be excluded and laughed at, and even his reputation might be ruined... Jiang Wanyi felt sorry for him.

Marriage should be between equals, and Lu Sanlang should marry into the Jiang family. Even if he doesn't marry her, marrying another girl from aristocratic family is better than what he said in public that day that he wanted to marry Luo Lingyu, right?

Jiang Wanyi wrapped her handkerchief around her neck, thinking that she didn't have to marry Lu Sanlang, but she wanted to tell her cousin these words. She wanted him to think clearly and not force himself to take the step of being rejected by the aristocratic family.

When Jiang Wanyi was lost in thought, a woman walked by the rockery. She had a slim waist and a full chest, and a graceful figure. She just stepped over the fallen pine nuts on the ground, then stopped and looked at her with a smile: "Sister Jiang is here?"

As soon as she saw Luo Lingyu, Jiang Wanyi's face suddenly turned red and her eyelashes trembled violently.

Just when I was saying something bad about Luo Lingyu in my heart, I bumped into Luo Lingyu.

Jiang Wanyi asked: "Where is my sister going?"

Luo Lingyu's eyes were slightly raised, as if there was a breeze blowing, and she said playfully, "I have food in my stomach and I'm not feeling well, so I'm just walking around. Sister, would you like to join me?"

Jiang Wanyi quickly said: "No, no, no..."

She was still waiting for her maid. She was about to rack her brains to come up with an excuse, but Luo Lingyu was very sensible and covered her cheeks, looked at her and smiled, not forcing her. Jiang Wanyi still stayed by the rockery, watching Luo Lingyu and the maids leave like this. The backs swayed, the sun and the breeze chased each other, the girl was wearing a long skirt with silk ribbons, her hair was curled under the skirt, and her forehead was decorated with a gorgeous hairpin. Her eyebrows and eyes were flowing, and her charm was so beautiful. Beautiful girls would compare with each other. Jiang Wanyi herself was a beauty, but there were more beautiful beauties——

With Luo Lingyu being so dazzling and beautiful, how many of the Lu family's cousins ​​would not be jealous?

Jiang Wanyi didn't wait long at the rockery before her maid came. The maid blushed and shook her head to the girl, indicating that she didn't want to get any words out of Jinyue. The maid gritted her teeth and said, "That little bitch is so stubborn! She smiled at you on the surface, but when you asked her about something, she shook her head and said she didn't know anything. That little bitch always likes to receive gifts. I even gave her a high-quality bracelet, but she still said she didn't know when Sanlang would come back."

"Bah! She is just a personal maid, how could she not know where the master has gone? She just refuses to tell me."

Jiang Wanyi's eyes dimmed and she shook her head. She was the one who comforted her maid: "This is normal. If Jinyue was so easy to talk to, my third cousin wouldn't let her take charge."

The master and servant looked at each other in silence, and had no choice but to carry the cold porridge out of the rockery and go back. The maid and the girl were talking, and they mentioned something unintentionally: "Madam, have you seen Madam Luo just now? I ran into her outside Lu Sanlang's yard. Jinyue didn't let me enter the yard, and Madam Luo stopped and said a few words for me. Madam Luo is really kind."

Jiang Wanyi: “…”

Her eyelids twitched slightly and she slowly stopped. She was not a stupid person and she realized something subtle at that moment.

Without saying anything more to the maids, Jiang Wanyi turned around and walked towards Lu Sanlang's yard. The maids were puzzled and hurriedly trotted after their own girl who was walking very fast with her skirt lifted. Jiang Wanyi ran out of breath and soon returned to Lu Sanlang's yard. She hid behind the flowers and trees on the wall and saw Luo Lingyu's graceful back at a glance.

Jinyue is still at the gate of the courtyard!

Jinyue and Luo Lingyu were talking happily. I don't know what Luo Lingyu said, but Jinyue covered her mouth with the back of her hand and laughed. Jinyue, who had refused to go no matter what she said, now took Luo Lingyu's arm affectionately and invited Luo Lingyu into the yard. The maids behind Luo Lingyu followed calmly, which showed that this scene was common and not surprising.

...Following a capable lady, the maids have learned countless ways to please others.

Jiang Wanyi's face turned pale and she dug her nails into her palms.

The maid behind her immediately became indignant and raised her voice: "Why is Jinyue like this? Why doesn't she let us in, but lets Madam Luo in? Didn't she always say that when Lu Sanlang is not around, no one is allowed to enter the yard? How can... No, I want to talk to her..."

"Enough!" Jiang Wanyi rarely spoke in a loud voice, and her suddenly raised voice frightened her maid. Jiang Wanyi turned around, her eyes full of tears. She was extremely embarrassed and spoke incoherently: "Stop talking...are you trying to embarrass me more!"

Wiping away the tears on her face, Jiang Wanyi lowered her head and walked away—Lu Sanlang! Lu Yun!

How could he be so embarrassing!
