Xue Baochai almost couldn't breathe.
But at this moment, a clear laughter came to my ears.
The brother and sister were stunned for a moment.
Baochai immediately looked towards the source of the sound vigilantly.
I saw that the door of their box had opened a crack at some point.
At this moment, a slender hand pushed the door open, revealing several people standing behind the door.
The leader was wearing a dark brocade robe, with bright eyebrows and gentle eyes, and a kind of warmth in his every move.
He held a folding fan in his hand.
Seeing Baochai looking at him, he bowed and said:
"My name is Li Ning. I was just passing by and heard you two talking. I found it interesting, so I stopped to listen for a while. I'm sorry to both of you for making fun of me."
Eavesdropping is not a gentleman's act. Li Ning's face turned slightly red when he spoke.
Behind him followed two young men, one dressed in black and the other in military attire. They came forward and gave a military salute:
"My name is Feng Ziying. Excuse me."
"I am Yan Zhiting, and I apologize for my rudeness."
The man behind was wearing a green brocade robe, had a gentle temperament and a smiling face, and seemed easy to talk to.
Xue Baochai hurriedly stood up, not forgetting to kick her brother under the table:
"Excuse me, gentlemen. It's us who didn't close the door properly."
She had heard of Feng Ziying, who was the grandson of General Feng.
The person who can make him take a back seat is the young man named Li Ning, who must be of high status.
Xue Pan also stood up, bowed with a smile, and waved to Feng Ziying:
"Brother Feng, you are so mean. You are just watching me make fun of me and not even saying a word to help me!"
Feng Ziying also laughed:
"Brother Xue, you've wronged me. Your sister's every word is for Brother Xue's consideration, so how dare I interrupt?"
What's more, Brother Xue has to admit defeat in front of his own sister, so how could he dare to move forward?
Xue Pan snorted and looked at him with contempt.
Feng Ziying only gave him a look and a smile that said "mutually".
They are both equally good, so no one should blame the other.
"Haha! So Ziying and Brother Xue know each other? It's fateful for us to meet today. Why don't we sit together? I also want to discuss some issues with Miss Xue."
As soon as Li Ning finished speaking, Xue Pan's face changed.
He took a step forward, blocking his younger sister behind him, his face serious:
"Brother Li, please be humble and don't say such things again. My brother and I have things to do, so we won't bother you anymore."
Turning to look at Baochai, he said, "Sister, let's go back."
Xue Baochai nodded.
Xue Pan used his body to shield his sister, blocking the sight of several people.
Xin Guoguo took the veil hat first and put it on Xue Baochai, then helped Xue Baochai walk out.
Li Ning's eyes followed Xue Baochai's and he realized how rude his words were. He quickly bowed and said:
"I apologize for the intrusion."
As soon as the brother and sister left, Li Ning was the first to step into the box.
Feng Ziying and Yan Zhiting both followed in.
"Sir, are you interested in that girl from the Xue family?"
Feng Ziying first had tea served and poured it for Li Ning before speaking.
Li Ning shook his head: "I just think that girl is interesting."
Being in his position, he rarely feels attracted to a woman.
It's rare to have a little interest.
"It seems his family participated in the election before, but now it seems they were not elected."
Feng Ziying had heard Xue Pan mention this matter before.
"Oh?" Li Ning became more interested.
Seeing that he had finished his tea, Feng Ziying refilled it for him and said nonchalantly:
"The Xue family is a royal merchant family. If you like her, just marry her."
A hint of thought flashed across Li Ning's eyes.
Yan Zhiting took a sip of tea and spoke for the first time: "Given the girl's personality, I'm afraid she won't agree."
Feng Ziying didn't care: "She's just a woman. It's her blessing to be able to follow you, young master. Why wouldn't she want to?"
Yan Zhiting glanced at Feng Ziying and said nothing more.
Li Ning was somewhat tempted, but he did not agree immediately.
He was still thinking in his mind.

Meanwhile, Xue Baochai, who was being discussed, had already returned to her own courtyard and was listening to her brother's chatter:
"From now on, keep your distance from Feng Ziying, okay? Although he's a decent guy, he really looks down on women."
"I know, I know. My brother has mentioned it at least ten times on the way back."
Baochai felt that her ears were about to get calluses.
When did my brother become so talkative?
Xue Pan choked.
He looked at his sister with grievance: "Sister, you find me annoying! You actually find me annoying!"
Xue Baochai: ...
Headache!
"No! I'm not annoying you, brother. I'm just worried you're tired. Go drink some water, brother."
Smiling face.
Xue Pan then took the water from his sister with satisfaction and drank it all in one gulp.
"Just take care of yourself! I'll come back later to find out about Mr. Li's situation and tell you more."
"good."
After finally sending her brother away, Baochai let out a long sigh.
How come she hadn't noticed before that her brother was so nagging?!
"Miss, the lady wants you to come over."
Baochai was just about to lie down on the couch for a while when she saw the little maid Wenxing come in to answer her.
She subconsciously frowned, but still sat up:
"knew."
Wen Xing hurried forward to help her wash and dress, and then went to Aunt Xue's yard.
Speaking of which, since she moved into her own yard, she didn't even see her mother on weekdays except for greeting her in the morning and evening.
