Chapter 138 Unspeakable Love
The sudden change left everyone present stunned.
Until Shen Baoqing came running over.
She grabbed Jiang Yueyao's hand and said, "Yaoyao, are you okay?"
Jiang Yueyao finally came back to her senses.
She retracted her gaze, looked at Shen Baoqing, and shook her head gently: “I’m fine, how about you?”
"I'm fine too," she breathed a sigh of relief. "It was a close call just now..."
Then he looked at Bai Shaochuan and said, "Cousin, it's a good thing you came in time, otherwise we would have been seriously injured if not dead today."
Bai Shaochuan also released his hand that was originally around Jiang Yueyao's waist.
He took half a step back.
Looking at Shen Baoqing: "What's wrong with you? Why are you so slow to react?"
The tone was gentle and didn’t sound harsh, but it still made Shen Baoqing blush.
She was ashamed of herself.
"I've been slacking off. Starting tomorrow, I'll get up early and practice martial arts with you."
"Yeah." Bai Shaochuan nodded slightly and said nothing more.
The Fourth Prince also walked over from that side at this time.
Lu Sui and Duan Yanzhou, who were originally sitting on their horses, dismounted together. Bai Shaochuan also walked over, and they all saluted the Fourth Prince together.
The Fourth Prince walked straight up to Lu Sui and spoke with a smile.
"How come you're free today, Grand Tutor? Is Father done with his work?"
Lu Sui slowly stood up, looked up at him, his low voice calm and steady.
"The Emperor is accompanying Concubine Rou today."
When the Fourth Prince heard that his father was accompanying Concubine Rou, his smiling face became a little unbearable.
Concubine Rou is the mother of the Third Prince. His father has always doted on her, and the Third Prince also enjoys great favor in front of his father.
And his mother, after all these years, was nothing more than a concubine.
Thinking of this, the Fourth Prince suddenly lost interest in traveling.
After a brief chat with Lu Sui, he turned around and led his people away.
As soon as he left, most of the people present left, and the originally lively place suddenly became very quiet.
At this time, the two sisters of the Meng family ran over from the other side.
Both of their faces turned pale.
“Sister Jiang, Sister Shen, are you two okay?”
Jiang Yueyao shook her head: "It's okay, don't worry."
Meng Zhixia held her hand and said, "It's so dangerous outside. Let's go back quickly. I don't want to go out again. I was scared to death just now."
As she spoke, she pulled Jiang Yueyao aside.
When passing by Lu Sui, Jiang Yueyao clearly felt that he was looking at her.
The extremely oppressive gaze fell on her, making her heart beat wildly, but she still didn't look up and just walked past him.
Lu Sui stood with his hands behind his back, wearing a dark brocade robe. His aura was already cold, and with his thin lips pursed at the moment, he gave people the feeling that he was difficult to approach.
Duan Yanzhou looked at him, feeling a little puzzled.
"Why is Xiao Yaoyao ignoring you?"
Lu Sui didn't say anything, his eyes following Jiang Yueyao's figure, cold and deep.
"Did you provoke her?" Duan Yanzhou couldn't help but guess.
Lu Sui ignored him, turned around, jumped on the horse, and rode away.
"Hey hey..." Duan Yanzhou wanted to follow, but saw Meng Zhiye pulling Shen Baoqing towards him.
His eyes fell on Meng Zhiye's face. Seeing that her face was as pale as a ghost, he couldn't help but step forward and said with concern.
"Did I scare you just now?"
He suddenly spoke, and Meng Zhiye was so scared that he grabbed Shen Baoqing's hand tightly.
Shen Baoqing thought he had frightened her, and immediately glared at him: "What are you doing? Duan Yanzhou, stay away from my Yiyi. I've noticed that you're always getting close to her lately."
Duan Yanzhou was a shameless man, so naturally he didn't care what she said.
Not only did he not refute, he also smiled.
"It's because your daughter Yeye is so pretty that I fell in love with her at first sight."
Meng Zhiye raised his head in disbelief, which had been hanging down.
She looked at Duan Yanzhou, and her fair cheeks turned red.
Angry and ashamed.
"Master Duan, you...you can't talk nonsense!"
After saying that, he pulled Shen Baoqing and ran away with a red face.
The two ran for a long distance before stopping.
Seeing her blushing, Shen Baoqing said, "Duan Yanzhou is just like that. Just ignore him in the future."
Meng Zhiye bit the corner of his lip, neither nodding nor shaking his head, and his ears became even redder.
The four of them returned to the Meng family's yard together.
It was almost lunchtime, and Mrs. Meng ordered the kitchen to prepare the meal. The four little sisters sat together, eating and chatting and laughing, and gradually recovered from their shock.
After dinner, we played mahjong in the afternoon.
In the evening, Mrs. Bai Cui sent someone over and asked Shen Baoqing to take Jiang Yueyao back.
After leaving the Meng family and on the way back, Shen Baoqing looked at Jiang Yueyao.
"Did you and Lord Lu have any conflict?"
Jiang Yueyao lowered her head and said nothing.
"Weren't you two fine when I left yesterday?"
"Hmm." Jiang Yueyao sighed softly, looked up and looked away, her voice faint, "I thought he would like me a little, but I found out that it was all just wishful thinking."
"Did you ask him last night?" Shen Baoqing asked her.
"No, but his words and actions, everything he did, showed that he didn't like me."
"That's impossible," Shen Baoqing was a little puzzled, "I think he treats you very well."
"It's nice, but this kind of niceness has nothing to do with love between men and women. As long as I take the initiative, he either gives me the cold shoulder or avoids me... Qingqing, I suddenly feel that this is very boring."
Shen Baoqing, who didn't understand love, didn't know how to persuade her.
After thinking for a while, he said to her: "If he doesn't love you, there will be someone else who loves you. Wait for my brother to return to Beijing."
"My brother is more handsome than Lu Sui, and younger than him. He's a young general dressed in fine clothes and riding a vigorous horse. I don't know how many girls in Mobei have a crush on him. I think you two are a perfect match."
Seeing that Jiang Yueyao didn't say anything, she poked her with her elbow.
"What's the matter? Are you not happy to be my sister-in-law?"
Jiang Yueyao couldn't help but smile.
Playing with her.
"Yes, I am happy to. I'm just afraid your brother won't be happy about it."
"How could that be? My brother has the same taste as me. He would definitely like a pretty girl like you."
"Why don't you call me sister-in-law first?"
"Oh my, you can't wait, can't you?" Shen Baoqing went to tickle her, and the two of them chased each other and soon arrived at the gate of the courtyard where the Bai family lived.
Bai Shaochuan was already waiting there. From a distance, he saw two people coming over while playing and joking. They were two pretty figures, one in light blue and the other in bright red. His eyes followed the bright red figure, and a smile unconsciously appeared at the corner of his lips.
The two men only noticed him when they got close and quickly stopped fighting.
Jiang Yueyao was a little embarrassed. She lowered her head and raised her hand to tidy up the hair scattered on her forehead. Shen Baoqing asked directly, "Cousin, I'm hungry. What are we having for dinner tonight?"
Bai Shaochuan withdrew his gaze from Jiang Yueyao and turned to look at her.
"You have nothing to do every day except eating."
"Look at what you said. There are three major things in life: eating, drinking and having fun. Without any one of them, it's boring."
"Yes, you are right."
The three of them walked in together.
In the pavilion in the yard, dishes were being served. When Cui saw the three people coming in, her eyes fell on Jiang Yueyao and Bai Shaochuan who happened to be walking side by side. The young man was handsome and the girl was beautiful.
Cui was so happy that she couldn't express it in words.
