"Sister Lin, don't say that. Our disease is just a disease of the rich."

"It's a huge hardship for poor families, but our family is fine. Besides, you are now married into the palace, so this little thing is a drop in the bucket for the palace."

"As for serving the prince, that's not a problem at all."

"You are weak, but there are many people in the palace, so many sisters, if you get close to them, will they still make you suffer?"

After hearing this, Lin Daiyu thought about it and it seemed to be true, but she looked at Xue Baochai.

"But precious girl, I don't really want to be with others. Maybe I feel a little repulsive and uncomfortable in my heart."

"Precious girl, um...um...can you?"

??? I was kind enough to enlighten you, but you wanted to drag me down with you? How could you repay kindness with enmity?

But thinking about Li Xiuzhu, it seems that it is not appropriate to say that he repays kindness with enmity.

It's a good thing after all, but it's a bit awkward.

"Did the prince ask you to say this, or did you think of it yourself?"

"Don't lie to me."

Lin Daiyu turned her head in displeasure, broke free from Xue Baochai's embrace, and said angrily, "What Bao-ya-tou said is so unreasonable. When have I ever lied to Bao-ya-tou in the slightest?"

Xue Baochai also knew that she was wrong. She smiled and hugged Lin Daiyu again and said, "I was wrong. I just want to know if it was the prince who said that."

"What if it is, and what if it isn't?"

Xue Baochai said, "If it is, then it's fine. If it is not, then I don't know."

Lin Daiyu understood what he said. She was smart, and her only two shortcomings were that she was weak and sickly, and she was sensitive and sentimental.

Lin Daiyu hesitated for a moment and asked unconfidently, "Do you think the prince really won't dislike us?"

Xue Baochai was also unsure. Although they were both good-looking, they were also sick. Under the same circumstances, few people would be willing to marry a sickly woman.

However, Xue Baochai was still cheerful, and in order to comfort Lin Daiyu, she said with certainty: "The prince is not the kind of person you think. Look how much the prince liked us before..."

"Especially you, Sister Lin... The prince was holding your little feet and was reluctant to let go. He even wanted to bite them a few times."

Lin Daiyu blushed.

"What are you talking about, little girl? It's like the prince doesn't like your feet. I saw him pinch your feet."

Xue Baochai blushed when she heard this. She really had no way to refute this.

"Tell me...why does the prince have such a strange hobby?"

Lin Daiyu thought for a moment and said, "I think it's quite normal, just like radishes and cabbages."

"The prince likes radishes, and we like cabbages."

"Haven't you noticed that when the prince looks at a woman, the first thing he looks at is her feet."

"It's a pity that everyone is wearing cloth shoes, so the prince can only watch in loneliness, haha."

Xue Baochai smiled when she heard this, and an inexplicable picture appeared in her mind.

"Shall we go out now? The prince should be telling a story."

Upon hearing this, Lin Daiyu hugged Xue Baochai and said pitifully, "Bao girl, please don't go out."

"I just came in and left a short while ago. The prince must have thought I was pretending."

"And the prince must have told half of his story. Wouldn't it be awkward for you to go now and listen?"

After hearing this, Xue Baochai thought about it and nodded, but she missed the man across the courtyard.

I wonder whose feet he is holding in his arms now.

Oh, by the way, should I go and order lunch? I have to include my share of the bill, so I can’t let my sisters pay for it.

Xue Baochai was completely overthinking it. Li Xiuzhu and Fu Yunshuang were both here, so why should she ask them to pay for the meal?

Everything had been arranged before Fu Yunshuang came.

Putting aside the emotional line, the pace is just super fast.

By the time it was time for lunch, most of the story had already been told.

Li Xiuzhu talked about how Chenxiang returned from his studies under Yang Jian's arrangement and stopped after getting the axe.

"Okay, okay, the food has been delivered. Eat first and we'll talk after dinner."

Everyone, still reluctant to leave, stood up and their little feet returned to their embroidered shoes.

During this time, Xue Baochai came to see us, but seeing that everyone was listening to the story, she didn't discuss ordering food and didn't disturb anyone.

Everyone walked towards the dining hall, and Li Xiuzhu said to Fu Yunshuang, "Yunshuang, go make arrangements first. I'll go see how Daiyu is doing."

"Okay, brother-in-law, go ahead."

This was not the first time Li Xiuzhu came to Lin Daiyu's bedroom to rest.

When he saw the two of them, they also happened to see him.

There is no wrong version in the 1619 book forum!

Just as the two were about to stand up and salute, Li Xiuzhu lowered his hand.

"No need to get up. How is Sister Daiyu?"

Upon hearing this, Xue Baochai sold Daiyu out immediately.

"It's actually okay. It's just that Sister Lin is afraid of dragging down the prince, so she doesn't want to live anymore."

Suddenly, Lin Daiyu's face turned red, and she sat up and was about to hit Xue Baochai.

"Oh, you little girl, you're so quick-witted. I'm going to tear your mouth apart."

Xue Baochai was on guard. When she saw Lin Daiyu stand up, she immediately hid behind Li Xiuzhu.

However, Lin Daiyu did not indulge her and directly revealed the secret: "Your Majesty, Bao girl said that as long as you ask, she is willing to enter the palace. Your Majesty, why don't you quickly fulfill our Bao girl's wish."

"She has been thinking about it for a long time."

The one who blushed suddenly became Xue Baochai.

"You are such a good girl, Sister Lin. I am pretending to be sick with you. Are you going to sell out your sister like this?"

Hiss~ This wave of melons is really big. Some people pretend to be sick, some people sell their sisters. Of course, Xue Baochai sold her younger sister first.

When Li Xiuzhu heard this, his eyes changed when he looked at the two of them. At this moment, the two of them blushed and didn't dare to look at Li Xiuzhu, like lambs to be slaughtered.

Li Xiuzhu smiled and said, "It turns out that Baoya has been waiting for me to speak. I neglected it."

"Can I go to your house and ask for marriage later?"

Xue Baochai became even more shy when she heard this, but she still nodded and said "hmm" softly.

The voice was not loud, and if it weren't for Li Xiuzhu, he might not have been able to hear it clearly.

Then Li Xiuzhu looked at Lin Daiyu and asked, "Are you worried about your illness?"

Lin Daiyu hesitated for a moment, but still nodded and said softly: "My illness is not only a disease of affluence, but it will become more and more serious."

"No matter how much money I spend, I may not be able to live long. I..."

Li Xiuzhu interrupted Lin Daiyu's remaining words and said, "Then go to bed with Baochai as soon as possible."

"I have practiced a Taoist dual cultivation technique that can nourish both of us."

"Be more diligent in the future, and you will be completely healed sooner or later."

At this moment, both women subconsciously looked at Li Xiuzhu with disbelief in their eyes.

"Is what the prince said true?"

"nature!"
