Chapter 28
I don’t agree! I won’t agree even if you kill me! Angry Xiaoyue brought Baishuang back to the princess’s mansion through the “dog door”.
Apart from mother, no other woman is worthy of being with father, even if that person is Aunt Xue!
"Ah!" A sharp child's voice angrily broke the silence of Dangui Garden.
Yi Luoyue and Li Fei, who were sitting on either side of the couch in the "Moon Pavilion", had not yet realized what was happening when a small figure rushed in. However, she looked even dirtier than when Yi Luoyue saw her just now.
"It's been less than a quarter of an hour, and you're back?" It seemed she had indeed crawled through that hole to the other side. Perhaps she should have someone build a door there, using the courtyard gate Xiaoyue'er had drawn yesterday. She probably drew the diagram with the intention of chiseling a door through the wall, but how did she know exactly where to make a door? As for Gong Yuchen, he was going back to Xiyi anyway, and his residence would then belong to the princess.
"What's wrong with you?" Li Fei looked at Xiaoyue'er who was going crazy and almost losing her mind!
"Ah!...That stinky old man wants Aunt Xue to get married! And he wants Dad to send me away!" She gasped heavily, almost going crazy!
"Daddy doesn't help me, and he's even mean to me!"
An old man? Li Fei shuddered. Could it be Gong Che? Who was he going to marry Gong Mingxue to? Gong Yuchen? At this moment, Li Fei felt an indescribable sadness in her heart.
"Your father is mean to you?" Gong Yuchen would be mean to Xiaoyue'er? That shouldn't be the case, right? Based on her observations over the past few days, Gong Yuchen treated Xiaoyue'er like he was holding her in his mouth for fear of her melting, or holding her in his hands for fear of her dropping.
"Why?"
"Because I don't allow him to marry Aunt Xue! He is so mean to me! I don't want him anymore. I want to come and live with my aunt!" The girl was very angry.
Yi Luoyue and Li Fei looked at each other.
"I'm leaving now. I'll come back tomorrow." Besides Gong Mingxue, he definitely had no plans to marry another woman. Even if it was arranged by her own father, he wouldn't allow it unless it was him. Gong Yuchen wanted to marry her, but it was absolutely impossible. Li Fei quickly said goodbye to Yi Luoyue and went to arrest him.
"He's getting married? This can't be true!" she muttered.
Xiaoyue'er flashed her bright eyes and rolled around.
"Aunt, do you want Xiaoyue? I don't want my daddy anymore. Can I follow you?"
"Okay! We don't want him anymore. Your father doesn't want you anyway, so you belong to me!" You stinky man, if you have the guts, don't show up again. You want to send Xiaoyue away and marry someone else. I will never let you go!
The cunning Xiaoyueer heard the grammatical error in her words and secretly tested her.
"Aunt doesn't want daddy anymore? But... daddy didn't say he didn't want me. It was me who kicked him out." Uh... it seemed like she was the one who left... It didn't matter, daddy would definitely come back to find her anyway.
Yi Luoyue glared at her and warned her not to talk nonsense.
I... She hid behind Bai Die and made a face for her.
"Bai Die, take that dirty little one to wash him clean, and send someone to the shop to get a few sets of clothes, more than enough." At the rate she changed two sets of clothes a day, poor families really couldn't afford to support her.
"Yes, Princess."
"Miss Yue'er, let's go. Shuang'er, come here too." She had never seen her sister so dirty before, and hoped that she would not be led astray by her master.
The double doors of the "Moon Pavilion" in Dangui Garden were not closed, but a layer of thin silk gauze curtain was hanging. As the gentle autumn breeze penetrated, the gauze curtain fluttered gently like a dancer.
Xiaoyue rolled up the gauze curtain and came in skipping. As soon as she entered the room, she saw Yi Luoyue sitting at the desk in front of the carved window, writing something with a wolf hair brush. In addition to the four treasures of the study, there was also a stack of exquisitely crafted calligraphy with patterns of the four gods on the pages.
She raised her soft, fair hand, dipped the tip of the pen in oily ink, and slowly wrote beautiful words on the unfolded post.
"Auntie? What are you writing?" The little head leaned over to her side to take a look.
"Do you understand?" Yi Luoyue smiled faintly, stopped writing, and showed her the post.
"Is this an invitation for Aunt Xue?"
"yes."
"But aren't these invitations usually issued by the palace? Then why did you write the invitation yourself, Auntie?"
"You know all this? I don't think I've ever told you this."
"Daddy said that his invitation was sent from the palace." He secretly stuck out his tongue in his heart, he almost got exposed.
"Oh, I see." After a long while, it was Gong Yuchen who said it. She was still wondering how Xiaoyueer, such a child, could understand these things.
"Then why did Auntie write an invitation to Auntie Xue?"
"Because not everyone will receive an invitation from the palace, if I want someone to come to the palace banquet, I need to send the invitation myself." Yi Luoyue explained to her as she wrote.
"But you still haven't told me why you want to send an invitation to Aunt Xue?"
"Because this is what your Uncle Li wanted." She tapped her little nose with the end of the pen.
"Uncle Li? Oh! I see." She looked as if she had realized it.
"Little brat, you know everything?" Another smile. This little guy always has the ability to make her laugh.
"Does Xiaoyue have it?"
"Do you need more?"
This joke is not funny at all!
"Auntie..." She picked up an invitation card that had not yet been written on it and spread it out neatly in front of Yi Luoyue.
"Xiaoyueer wants to go too. I want to go with daddy." He acted like if you don't give it to me, I will cry in front of you.
"Hey! Don't you want your daddy?" He patted Xiaoyue'er's hand gently, and a smile appeared on his beautiful face.
"I didn't want it just now, but now I want it again," she argued.
"You! You are a double-faced little fellow."
Xiaoyue'er's eyes suddenly lit up and she saw something blocked by a pile of books.
"Auntie, can I play with that?" He pointed to a silver-iron slingshot made of cow tendon placed in the corner of the desk.
"You can?" Yi Luoyue didn't expect that this little guy actually knew that thing.
"I can do it, and I'm very good at it." Finally, there is something that can make me happy.
"Who taught you?" he asked in a doting tone.
"My mother taught me. She said girls shouldn't use knives or robbers, but they should have something to defend themselves, so she taught Xiaoyue how to use a slingshot."
Yi Luoyue was amused by her shaking head. Her mother was right about that. She also thought so. That's why she learned to use a slingshot for self-defense during her years in the palace. Firstly, it was small and easy to carry, and secondly, it could attack from a distance.
"Okay, take it if you like it. In a few days, I will make you a suitable one." If you think about it carefully, this little devil seems innocent, but he is weird in every way.
"Thank you, Auntie." She was so happy when she heard that she could take the slingshot.
Humph! Next time she can use her slingshot to seek revenge.
Gong Mingxue took the letter from the servant and took a look. There were only a few words on it: "Feng Lai Yi Tea House, pay back the debt."
What was coming really couldn't be avoided. Gong Mingxue muttered to herself, did he have spies in her own house? The letter arrived as soon as she entered the house. Fortunately, her father's colleagues were looking for him, otherwise she really wouldn't be able to leave.
Following her instructions, Gong Mingxue arrived at the teahouse and entered a private room. She saw the man who had so disturbed her heart, sitting there leisurely, sipping tea. He possessed a striking appearance, but just staring at him silently in the dark made her heart inexplicably warm and throb. What was wrong with her? Lacking any knowledge of the situation, she knew only that she felt differently about him, a feeling very different from her feelings for her cousin.
"Have some tea. Aren't you thirsty?" Seeing Gong Mingxue come in, Li Fei poured her a cup of tea and pushed it to the seat opposite him.
"Hmm..." She lowered her eyes, picked up the teacup but did not drink.
"What do you want from me today?"
"I heard that you and Lord Gong went to see Gong Yuchen today." The man raised his eyelashes coldly. She felt a little impatient. What did he know? Did he send someone to follow her?
"Well...I did go."
"Don't you have anything to say?"
"What?" He was such a strange person. He asked her to say something for no reason.
"Haven't you eaten? Are you hungry?" Gong Mingxue thought hard for a long time before realizing that he must be hungry.
"But I'm full, so I'll leave first. Enjoy your meal." After saying that, he put down the teacup and wanted to leave.
"If you have the courage to go, just give it a try!" Li Fei's tone had already hinted at winter.
Her heart nearly stopped beating, and she managed a forced smile.
"Aren't you busy today?" Oh my God, his eyes seemed to want to eat someone, and she was the piece of meat on the sticky board.
"I'm not busy, so I'll settle accounts with you today! Unless you tell me to do something else, of course."
"Let's settle the accounts. I don't have the courage to order you to do anything." She sat back down reluctantly.
"Here, this is all I have. If it's not enough, I'll find another way." She took out a few banknotes from her sleeve and handed them to him.
He just took a look and didn't take it.
"Do you think this is the account I'm settling with you?"
"Don't I just owe you money?" Gong Mingxue lowered his head guiltily.
Li Fei stood up and walked in front of her, stretched out his hands to trap her between the table and his arms, and looked at her.
"Is it just the money you owe?"
"What do you want to do!" she muttered gloomily.
"You want to marry Gong Yuchen?"
What on earth was he trying to do? It was the first time she saw him so serious, and she was stunned.
"No! I didn't." Gong Mingxue's breathing was disordered and she could only utter a few words.
Li Fei was delighted and satisfied with her answer. He leaned forward, lowered his head close to her cheek, and his breath gently caressed her ear bone.
"Marry me?" He wanted to settle her down as soon as possible so that others wouldn't keep thinking about her.
"Marry you!?" Her eyes widened. Marry her?
"You are so boring, why did you marry me? Besides, we don't know each other well."
"You...you idiot, I like you, don't you feel it?" He was so angry that he spoke without thinking.
"You never told me, how should I know that you like me!"
Hearing her question, Li Fei was so angry that she laughed.
"Now you know, what about you? Do you like me?" Li Fei looked at her reaction with deep affection.
