Chapter 200 It’s Normal to Dislike
Five months later, Jiang Yueyao sat in this restaurant again. While waiting for the food to be served, she felt somewhat emotional.
"At that time, I spent the whole day thinking about hugging your thighs and becoming your mistress."
"Now I have transformed myself into the youngest daughter of Duke Shen."
She looked at Lu Sui and asked, "Isn't fate magical?"
Lu Sui looked at her, his deep eyes were particularly gentle.
"Do you like it this much now?"
"Yes." Jiang Yueyao nodded heavily, the corners of her lips raised high, "Although mother can't remember me for the time being, she has been trying hard to take medicine. Father said that it is only a matter of time, she will remember me."
"It's just that when I think about my mother going crazy because of me, I feel so sad."
"I dare not think about how desperate and painful she must have been when I was lost..." Jiang Yueyao couldn't help but tear up when she said this.
Lu Sui reached out and held her hand across the table.
"It's all over."
He had a deep voice that had a soothing power.
Jiang Yueyao nodded gently: "Yes, it's all over."
When the fish pot was brought up, there was a stove burning underneath.
During the meal, Jiang Yueyao was only responsible for eating, and Lu Sui served her very well throughout the whole process. Even when there was soup on the corner of her mouth, he gently wiped it off with a handkerchief.
After coming out of Banyu Restaurant, Lu Sui wanted to take her for a walk.
Jiang Yueyao hesitated for a moment and refused.
"If I go back too late, my family will worry."
Lu Sui curled his lips helplessly: "Duke Shen?"
Jiang Yueyao suddenly opened her eyes wide: "You can guess this?"
Lu Sui smiled lightly.
"Before he knew about our relationship, your father never hesitated to praise me whenever he saw me. He praised me in various ways, saying that I was the pillar of the Daye State. He also praised my noble character, my prudent behavior, and my lack of arrogance and impatience, which was very rare."
"And you told your brother to learn more from me!"
"But ever since he found out that we were getting along, he's been wary of me and has made sarcastic remarks from time to time, saying that I'm old and want to eat swan meat."
Jiang Yueyao was stunned when she heard this.
"Daddy really said that?"
"Yeah." Lu Sui held her hand, kneading her soft fingers, looking up at her, "That's right, after all, I'm eight years older than you, it's normal for him to dislike me."
Jiang Yueyao met his gaze and suddenly saw a hint of grievance in it.
When had she ever seen Lu Sui like this before?
You have to know that the previous Lord Lu was cold and arrogant, but she was thick-skinned and kept chattering around him all day long. He disliked her, but she didn't care.
Now, the situation is reversed.
Jiang Yueyao couldn't help wanting to laugh, but she forced herself to hold it back.
She acted very serious.
"Then what should I do? Now that I'm back home, I have to listen to my father in everything. Whatever he says is right." Seeing Lu Sui's face darken, she continued fearlessly, "How about we just forget about it? After all, in my heart, my father is more important than my lover...ah..."
Jiang Yueyao was dragged by Lu Sui into an alley.
She didn't even finish her words.
Jin Zi, who was standing by, saw this and was about to step over to stop them, but was stopped by Qing Xuan.
"Don't meddle." He warned her.
Jin Zi gritted his teeth: "A good dog doesn't block the road!"
Qingxuan's face turned black and he refused to give in!
Jinzi got angry and started hitting him. The two of them fought from the ground to the roof.
Halfway through the fight, Jinzi took the time to look down the alley, and his eyes turned red and his mouth widened.
"How dare you, the regent, flirt with my daughter? I'll kill you."
Qingxuan: “…”
His face became darker and darker. When Jin Zi was about to kill him, he grabbed her and pressed her directly onto the roof.
Jin Zi refused to accept the defeat and counter-kicked him in the crotch, and the two men started fighting again.
At this moment, deep in the alley, Lu Sui's big hands clasped Jiang Yueyao's head tightly, and kissed her even deeper...
----
In the next few days, Jiang Yueyao did not leave the house again.
Everything has been arranged at the restaurant. In addition, there has been a heavy snowfall recently, and it is freezing cold outside. Even dogs are unwilling to go out, let alone people.
Jiang Yueyao accompanied her mother in Haitangyuan every morning, and in the afternoon she took Shen Baoqing to drink tea and talk.
After her tireless guidance over the past few days, Shen Baoqing suddenly came to his senses.
"Yaoyao, you're right. Xuan Ji is handsome, but what's the use of being handsome? Will he fall into the mortal world for me?"
This is a very beautiful and sensible statement.
Jiang Yueyao couldn't help but give her a thumbs up.
"Congratulations, you have attained enlightenment."
Unexpectedly, Xuan Ji appeared within two days of saying this. Shen Baoqing had finally pulled himself out of the quagmire, but fell into it again.
Here's the thing.
Jiang Yueyao's grandmother, Mrs. Qiao, suddenly fell ill for unknown reasons.
When the emperor heard about it, he immediately sent the best imperial physician in the palace to treat her, but the imperial physicians were replaced one after another. Even the young genius doctor beside Shen Huaishan went to see her, but they all shook their heads and said that apart from some minor ailments, the old lady was in good health and would not show symptoms of coma.
But the old lady has been in a coma and keeps talking in the middle of the night every day.
Finally, it was the old nanny beside the old lady who cautiously proposed a possibility.
"Could it be that something unclean happened to him?"
As soon as these words were spoken, everyone in the room fell silent.
The old Grand Tutor was a non-believer in gods and Buddhas, and so were all the descendants of the Bai family.
But the old lady is a devout Buddhist. On the first and fifteenth day of every month, she not only copies scriptures and burns incense, but also insists on eating vegetarian food. Her two daughters-in-law also believe in this very much.
In fact, the second wife had mentioned this to the second master Bai Jinguang in private once before, but as soon as she opened her mouth, she was scolded by the second master.
"You keep talking about ghosts and gods all day long. Where do ghosts and gods come from in this world?"
Since then, she didn't dare mention it again.
Now, seeing that the nanny brought it up, Cui quickly agreed.
"I've heard that Master Xuanji of Xiangguo Temple is a profound Buddhist practitioner. My daughter-in-law heard that Minister Li's grandson at the North Street Crossing had something happen to him a while ago and was crying all day long. He consulted many doctors but none of them could diagnose the problem. Finally, they invited Master Xuanji in. He simply gave the child a string of Buddhist beads, and the child immediately stopped crying. He's been completely well ever since."
When Bai Jinguang heard this, he was about to glare, but he saw his sister Bai Jinyu stand up from the chair.
"Okay, I'll go to Xiangguo Temple and invite him over."
Shen Huaishan immediately held her down.
"Don't worry, if Xuan Ji can really cure mother, I will send someone to invite him."
As he spoke, he looked at the old master sitting beside him.
"What does Father think?"
Bai Changming frowned.
"All this nonsense is just nonsense. How can it cure diseases and save lives?"
When Bai Jinyu heard this, she fell to her knees with a plop.
"Father, no matter whether it's useful or not, we have to give it a try. Mother is in this state now, and my daughter... my daughter..."
As she spoke, she burst into tears in Shen Huaishan's arms.
Bai Changming has always loved her.
Seeing her like this, he dared not delay any longer and immediately sent people to Xiangguo Temple. Two hours later, Xuan Ji, dressed in a red cassock, was welcomed into the Grand Tutor's Mansion...
