Chapter 690 is a werewolf
Jiang Baozhu felt a pang of pity. Although Lin Yuesha was clearly unwilling to get engaged to the pockmarked woman, as her good friend, she still said these irrelevant things.
"Actually, I figured it out a long time ago, but the pockmarked man didn't mention it, so I pretended not to know."
If you take the initiative to make it clear, and the pockmarked man doesn't mean it that way, it will only make you seem like you're being presumptuous.
Therefore, Red Peach repeatedly sought confirmation from the bearded white-faced man, and after careful consideration, made this decision to help the pockmarked man.
"Okay, I'm only doing this because he's sincere."
Once a promise is made, it's like water spilled; Jiang Baozhu no longer hesitated.
A few days ago, the pockmarked man came to the shop specifically to speak on her behalf, hoping that Jiang Baozhu could say a good word for him.
At the time, Jiang Baozhu refused without even thinking.
She and Lin Yuesha are as close as sisters, giving each other space and not being accustomed to interfering in each other's private affairs.
The two sisters trust each other and believe that the other can handle the situation well.
But the pockmarked man didn't give up. He patiently persuaded the bearded man to start with the red peach.
"He said he would show his utmost sincerity, so he hired a matchmaker to humbly propose marriage to my family, and he brought so many gifts with him."
Hongtao and Chenshi had similar thoughts: to finalize Lin Yuesha's marriage as soon as possible to prevent Lin Shusheng from making arbitrary arrangements. After all, if Lin Yuesha hadn't feigned illness, she might have replaced Lin Yue'e and been married off to the paralyzed man.
"He did so much; he's a thoughtful person."
Jiang Baozhu convinced herself again that the guilt in her heart had disappeared.
Lin Yuesha was still in a frenzy. She rubbed her face and decided to go next door to talk to Madam Xu about her troubles.
Her mother didn't understand her, her maid had become a traitor, and her best friends all spoke up for the pockmarked man. Lin Yuesha's fragile heart couldn't withstand any more blows. She believed that Madam Xu was definitely on her side.
Lin Yuesha even considered that if Madam Xu mentioned the young master of the Protectorate General's Mansion again, she would agree! In short, her current goal was to prevent the pockmarked man from succeeding!
It was still early, and Madam Xu was having breakfast. Xu Da, unusually, was not on duty and was also at home.
"Moon Sa has arrived?"
Madam Xu invited Lin Yuesha to sit down and asked the maid to add a bowl and chopsticks.
The breakfasts at the Xu residence were incredibly varied. Perhaps because Madam Xu had given up cooking, the cooks in the main kitchen finally had a chance to put their skills to good use, preparing a variety of delicious dishes.
"Cousin, try the scallion oil noodles, they taste pretty good."
Xu Da pushed a bowl of noodles in front of Lin Yuesha. Lin Yuesha didn't stand on ceremony. She hadn't felt anything before coming, but now that she saw the delicious food, her stomach growled twice.
The Xu family has no rule of not speaking while eating or sleeping, but Madam Xu and Xu Da are very focused on eating. The two of them have a large appetite, which made Lin Yuesha eat until she was full.
"Cousin, did Doctor Yan tell you?"
After eating and drinking his fill, Xu Da put down his chopsticks. He had been busy with the handover of the Five Cities Military Command recently and was preparing to set off for the Northwest in the next few days.
When do we depart?
Lin Yuesha immediately forgot her slight annoyance and asked, "Has the Northwest become so imperative that we absolutely have to go?"
Yan Yan said that Madam Xu and Xu Da went together, along with the Prince of Luo and people from the Protectorate General's Mansion, which shows that the situation in the Northwest is not optimistic.
"Yes, we absolutely have to go."
Speaking of going to the battlefield, Xu Da was very excited, finally given a chance to make a name for himself.
However, more than making achievements, he wanted his mother's approval.
After the maids and servants cleared away the dishes and other items, leaving only the three of them in the room, Xu Da continued, "Probably in five days."
"So urgent?"
Lin Yuesha was shocked. Yan Yan only said that it would be the end of October at the latest, which was still some time away.
The situation in the Northwest was a military secret, so Xu Da didn't mention much. He asked with a smile, "Why did you come so early today?"
My mother has arranged a marriage for me.
Lin Yuesha hung her head, looking extremely downcast.
War is unpredictable, and this trip to the Northwest will take at least a year and a half, during which time she will not be able to see Madam Xu and Xu Da again.
Although there was no romantic relationship between them, the two families had become as close as one over the years, and she often came over to visit.
Even though Madam Xu was skilled in martial arts and Xu Da was proficient in military strategy, there would still be dangers on the battlefield, Lin Yuesha thought with concern.
"Yue Sha, I went to see the excitement yesterday. The Qi family boy is really good."
Madam Xu took the initiative to speak up for Qi Heng.
Madam Xu was very excited when she learned about Qi Heng's identity. Since they were going to rebel, they should do something big.
Since that person has taken a liking to Lin Yuesha and is extremely devoted to her, even if Chen Shi doesn't agree, he will find a way to get her. No other woman can catch Qi Heng's eye.
"ah?"
Lin Yuesha stared wide-eyed. Aunt Xu didn't understand pockmarked face at all, so why was she just echoing what others said?
“Aunt, didn’t you say that good things should not go to outsiders and that you hoped I would marry into the General’s family?”
These words may sound a bit shameless, but Lin Yuesha had to remind Madam Xu of her position.
Did I say that?
Madam Xu's eyelids twitched, and she coughed lightly twice, denying it outright, "Now that there's war in the Northwest, my aunt's sons will definitely be going to the battlefield. Who knows when they'll return victorious?"
Therefore, the young master of the Protector General's Mansion is not a good match; a pockmarked face would be better.
“Cousin, I heard from Mother that the man has given up all his savings for you. He must be a good man to value you so much.”
Xu Da was busy trying to salvage the situation. He had to say good things about Qi Heng, because Qi Heng was so cunning that it was as if he had ears on the back of his head.
Since their parting at Wenjun Tower, Xu Da had often complained to the Prince of Luo behind his back, his words full of distrust of Qi Heng.
result……
Recently, while using the toilet, he clearly saw the toilet paper, but when he was about to come out, the toilet paper had disappeared.
After that, Xu Da got smarter and carried toilet paper with him, but it was no use. No one knew who Qi Heng had him monitored, but the toilet paper disappeared from his body as if by magic.
After a series of failures, Xu Da finally got smarter. Before entering the latrine, he would grab the toilet paper in his hand and see who dared to snatch it.
That time, a bucket of water suddenly poured down from the roof...
In the process of outwitting and outmaneuvering Qi Heng, Xu Da suffered a crushing defeat.
Qi Heng is a wolf in sheep's clothing; you can't afford to offend him.
"Cousin, you don't understand, that person..."
Lin Yuesha blushed and her neck turned red. Why wasn't anyone on her side?
Xu Da thought to himself, "It's not that I don't understand, it's that I understand very well."
“Cousin, since your aunt agreed, she must value the other person’s character. Good character is more important than anything else.”
Xu Da then shifted the blame onto Chen Shi, saying that since her own mother had agreed to the marriage, he was an outsider, and so was her mother...
Lin Yuesha: ...
They were supposed to be as close as siblings, so why are they drawing a line now? Something's not right.
She strongly suspected that the pockmarked man had offered Xu Da a bribe to persuade him to switch sides. After all, given their relationship, Xu Da wouldn't have offered his help without giving him several thousand taels of silver.
