Lu Jiajia was so drooling that her saliva dripped onto her chest without her realizing it.
Zheng Xuanzhi didn't notice Lu Jiajia but instead focused his attention on Gu Yunran, and said politely: "Yun..."
He felt that calling her by her maiden name was inappropriate, so he quickly changed his words.
"Mrs. Lu."
His eyes were gentle and his face turned red unconsciously. He only glanced at Gu Yunran, and because of the difference between men and women, he quickly lowered his head.
Gu Yunran bowed slightly: "Third Young Master."
She remembered Madam Lu's instructions and reached out to pull Lu Jiajia to stand in front of Zheng Xuanzhi. She introduced with a smile, "This is my fifth sister, Lu Jiajia. She grew up in the countryside and was recently brought back to the mansion. She's twenty-two now and still hasn't received any marriage proposals."
Lu Jiajia was drooling at Zheng Xuanzhi when she was suddenly pushed in front of her lover by Gu Yunran. She panicked and glared at Gu Yunran fiercely.
How can there be such an introducer? He said nothing good about her.
She shook off Gu Yunran's hand, wiped the saliva from the corner of her mouth with her sleeve, and laughed at Zheng Xuanzhi: "I am Lu Jiajia."
She stretched out her hand to push Gu Yunran away, standing between the two of them, staring straight at Zheng Xuanzhi, "I like you. When will you come to my house to propose marriage?"
Zheng Xuanzhi frowned, "Fifth Miss, marriage requires mutual love. I've just met you, so I'm afraid it wouldn't be appropriate to be so abrupt."
Lu Jiajia didn't care. She didn't care about that much in the countryside. She walked over, took Zheng Xuanzhi's arm, and said, "If you treat me well, you will like me."
Although her appearance is not as good as that of the fourth sister-in-law, she is still the most beautiful woman in the village.
Zheng Xuanzhi pried Lu Jiajia's hand away, took a few steps back, and politely refused: "Sorry, I already have someone I like."
"There are many young men attending the Peach Blossom Banquet today. Fifth Miss, you should look for someone else."
After saying that, he turned to look at Gu Yunran, "Madam, I have something important to attend to, so I will take my leave first."
He left in a hurry.
Lu Jiajia was so angry that her face turned pale and blue. She pouted and plucked a handful of peach blossoms from the tree and scattered them on the ground to vent her anger.
"What do you mean by someone you like? It's just that he doesn't like me."
Gu Yunran stood beside him, smiling.
However, she still admired Lu Jiajia's courage. Other girls were shy and timid, but she was brave. She aimed at her prey and volunteered to confess her feelings.
The corridor is next to the peach garden, which is already full of guests. The scene with Lu Jiajia is an eye-opener for everyone.
Many young ladies from official families pointed at her and talked about her, and some young masters from aristocratic families shook their heads at her. Although those people spoke in low voices and she could not hear what they were saying, she could feel that it was definitely not something nice.
For a moment, Lu Jiajia felt so embarrassed that she wished she could find a hole to crawl into.
"Gu Yunran, did you do this on purpose?" Lu Jiajia glared at Gu Yunran angrily, angrily blaming him, "You knew he would reject me, so you brought me here to embarrass myself?"
Gu Yunran was so angry that she laughed: "What kind of logic is this?"
"You were the one who insisted I bring you here, so why are you blaming me now?" Gu Yunran paused and continued, "You Lu family members are so unreasonable."
"Forget it, you are a junior, I am too lazy to bother with you."
She turned around and prepared to walk into the yard. As soon as she turned around, she saw Mu Qianchen, with Princess Pingyang and...Gu Qingyue standing beside him.
Gu Qingyue's face was rosy and she had a bright smile on her face.
It seems that Mu Qianchen's medicine research is good. Not only has the second cousin's cold recovered, but her complexion has also improved a lot. She looks much better than the last time she saw her.
She felt inexplicably uncomfortable.
However, she still saluted politely: "Empress!"
Gu Qingyue walked forward with a smile, took Gu Yunran's hand affectionately, and smiled gently: "Good sister."
She helped Gu Yunran up and said, "I brought Pingyang to attend the Peach Blossom Banquet. I didn't expect that we sisters would meet again. We didn't talk properly last time, so we must have a good chat now that we have the chance."
"Come on, let's go to the side hall."
Gu Qingyue took Gu Yunran's hand and walked into the side hall. Gu Yunran couldn't refuse, so he went with her.
Princess Pingyang looked at Gu Yunran's back with a dark look in her eyes. Suddenly, she turned to look at Mu Qianchen, her smiling eyes bent down, and she said with a smile: "Brother Chen, Madam Lu is so beautiful.
Mu Qianchen raised his eyebrows slightly: "Is she pretty?"
"What are you looking at?"
After saying this, he pushed away Princess Pingyang's hand that was on his arm and left.
Princess Pingyang pouted and said, "Brother Chen, where are you going? Wait for me."
She had finally begged Brother Emperor to let Brother Chen come to the Peach Blossom Banquet, but they left her alone before they even said a word?
She trotted after him.
"You are not allowed to follow." Mu Qianchen said coldly.
At his words, she stopped and didn't dare to move forward.
After a while, Mu Qianchen disappeared.
Side hall.
Gu Qingyue chatted enthusiastically with Gu Yunran for a while. Suddenly, she asked, "The last time I went back home, I heard from Second Mother that you were going to divorce Lu Qingzhou?"
She looked at Gu Yunran with burning eyes, "Why?"
"I don't want to settle for someone who is not my ideal partner."
Gu Qingyue pulled Gu Yunran closer, sighed, and advised, "Sister, it's normal for couples to have conflicts. Why should we get to the point of divorce?"
"He had a mistress and she had a child."
Gu Qingyue curled her lips and said, "Yunran, I have to teach you this. You are an educated person, so you naturally know the virtues of a woman. It is normal for a man to have three wives and four concubines. As long as you are the mistress of the Lu family, why would you care so much about other things?"
