Chapter 167 Are We Familiar?
The moment he saw Jiang Yueyao, Pei Yunjin's eyes moved around her face silently. Seeing that she had lost a lot of weight, he felt unprecedented joy in his heart.
She had actually thought that Lu Sui would like Jiang Yueyao, a lowly businesswoman!
Looking back now, I was also stupid at that time. It was obvious that it was impossible for two people to be together, but she lost her mind and did so many stupid things.
When Fan Ruining saw them, he immediately stepped forward and took Shen Baoqing’s hand.
"I haven't seen you guys for a long time. Since we met today, how about we go find a teahouse and sit down?"
Shen Baoqing looked at her in surprise.
She couldn't remember when she had such a good relationship with Fan Ruining?
It's really overwhelmed to see him so enthusiastic as soon as we met.
She glanced at Jiang Yueyao and was about to refuse when Pei Yunjin spoke up.
"Miss Jiang, you won't be unwilling, right?"
Jiang Yueyao raised her eyes and met her half-smile but provocative gaze. She really didn't understand why she was inexplicably targeted every time she met her when they had no grudges against each other?
My already bad mood suddenly got worse.
"Indeed, I don't want to. If Miss Pei wants to have tea, she can just go by herself. Why does she have to drag others along?"
"Besides, are we familiar with each other?"
Her blunt retort made Pei Yunjin almost lose face.
The expression on her face changed several times, and she almost couldn't maintain the demeanor and decency that a prime minister's daughter should have.
"I'm just inviting you politely. Why is Miss Jiang so aggressive and rude right from the start?"
"Really? If Miss Pei really invited you, then it's my fault. I apologize to you.
“…” Pei Yunjin wanted to say something, but finally shut up.
Jiang Yueyao was too lazy to look at her anymore and pulled Shen Baoqing aside.
Shen Baoqing secretly gave her a thumbs up: "Awesome, sister."
Jiang Yueyao smiled secretly, she also felt very refreshed.
The shopkeeper stepped forward and said respectfully, "Is the young lady here? It's too noisy downstairs. Why don't you and Miss Shen go upstairs?"
Jiang Yueyao thought about it, then pulled Shen Baoqing up to the second floor.
The second floor was indeed much quieter.
Just as the two of them sat down, Pei Yunjin and Fan Ruining also came up.
Jiang Yueyao is choosing jewelry. The Chinese New Year is next month and the old lady treats her very well. She wants to make a headband for her.
The box contained more than a dozen gems, green, red, royal blue, silver and light purple.
She asked Shen Baoqing: "What color does the old lady like? I want to make her a headband."
Shen Baoqing pointed to the purple one.
"She'll definitely like this."
"good."
Jiang Yueyao picked it up and put it in a box beside her, then walked aside to pick out some jewelry.
Pei Yunjin walked up to her without her knowing when.
She held a string of tourmalines in her hand, looked at them for a few seconds and put them back in, then picked up a gold hairpin and played with it, and her voice came over casually.
"Grandmaster Lu treated you well before, didn't he? Now he's in prison, how can you still have the heart to go shopping?"
Jiang Yueyao paused her movements.
He glanced at her sideways, feeling a little puzzled.
"Does Miss Pei like to meddle in other people's affairs so much?"
"You..." Pei Yunjin's face changed. "I just said it casually. Why is Miss Jiang so hostile to me?"
Jiang Yueyao withdrew her gaze and looked at the hairpin in her hand.
The tone is neither light nor heavy.
"You are so annoying when you say it casually. Miss Pei should not say it casually in the future." She said and looked at Shen Baoqing beside her, "Qingqing, am I right?"
"Who said it wasn't?" Shen Baoqing waved the hairpin in her hand lightly above her head, "Pei Yunjin, are you so bored? We've all gone upstairs to avoid you, don't you have any idea? Do you have to let us get close to you?"
Pei Yunjin's face turned ashen with anger at the two of them.
But when he saw Fan Ruining coming over there, he immediately made an innocent expression.
"We are sisters, so why can't we even talk to each other?"
Fan Ruining happened to hear this.
I hurriedly agreed.
"Yes, we are all sisters. I plan to hold a Winter Plum Blossom Festival next month. The invitations are ready and will be sent to you tomorrow. You must come then.
Shen Baoqing had no interest in the banquet in the capital.
But since Fan Ruining invited her with a smile, she couldn't refuse in public, so she just nodded perfunctorily.
Pei Yunjin has been here all the time, and Jiang Yueyao is not in the mood to choose anything else. She takes the selected gems and pulls Shen Baoqing downstairs.
She went to pay the bill, but the shopkeeper said, "The master said before that if you like anything, you can choose it and take it away. No money will be charged."
Jiang Yueyao shook her head.
Insisted on paying the money.
After coming out of Jinxiangmanyu, the two of them had hot pot outside and then returned to the Grand Tutor's Mansion.
----
Dali Temple was imprisoned.
Bai Shaoting sat cross-legged opposite Lu Sui, and couldn't help but sneer when he saw him slowly and leisurely eat the whole bowl of sour soup fish ball noodles without leaving even a mouthful of soup.
"Is today's meal just a makeshift one?"
Lu Sui put down his chopsticks and looked up at him: "Are you free?"
“…”
Bai Shaoting got up and was about to leave, but before he even walked out of the prison gate, he was stopped by Lu Sui.
He turned around and saw him handing over the food box.
Bai Shaoting took it angrily and said, "I won't give it to you tomorrow, even if you kill me!"
"Yeah!" Lu Sui responded lightly.
“…”
This time, Bai Shaoting was really angry. He picked up the lunch box and started to leave, but he turned back halfway.
"With a man like you, I really doubt that she's crazy and still obsessed with you."
After saying this, Bai Shaoting left.
When I went out, I met Tong Tianming again.
He stared at the food box in his hand, frowning: "Another one today?"
Before Bai Shaoting could speak, he added, "Why do I feel like he's having a more comfortable time in there than I am outside?"
Bai Shaoting nodded in agreement.
"You are right, sir. We are so busy outside that we don't even have time to eat, and he eats four meals a day inside. Why don't we just not give him lunch?"
Tong Tianming rolled his eyes at him.
"You're the only one who has a lot of bad ideas."
After saying this, he stepped into the imperial prison.
He went straight to Lu Sui's cell, but didn't rush in. He just stood at the door and watched him.
Lu Sui knew he was coming, and without turning around, he sat at the table and drank his tea slowly.
Seeing his relaxed look, Tong Tianming suddenly understood what Bai Shaoting meant by "starve him".
While they were fighting each other openly and secretly outside, he was living a good life, with no worries about food and drink and no troubles.
He signaled the jailer to open the cell door.
He walked in and sat down on the mat in front of him.
Lu Sui didn't even raise his head: "Is the Dali Temple so idle now?"
Tong Tianming picked up the teapot and poured himself a cup of tea.
"You're too slow. The New Year is still a month away. Are you planning to spend the New Year with me?"
Lu Sui put down the teacup.
The voice is light.
"How's Pei Zhangyuan doing?"
"His house is heavily guarded, and the area around his study is heavily guarded. Our people can't get in."
After hearing this, Lu Sui tapped the table with his fingers, rhythmically again and again.
Tong Tianming asked him, "How can you be sure that he has that half of the border map?"
Lu Sui looked up at him but said nothing.
But that look...
Tong Tianming suddenly opened his eyes.
“It’s you…”
