"That young man is from Taohua Village, Qingquan Town, under Wen County. He indeed topped the last imperial examination, and most people believe he is extremely talented. As long as he doesn't fail, passing the imperial examination will be a piece of cake."
"Has your family ever gotten married?" Mr. Bai asked again.
The housekeeper replied, "There was a man who was once his classmate in the same academy. He was a chaste man and had never married."
"As for the eldest girl, she rarely goes out except for running out last night."
"However, Miss Lianxin, who is beside her, often goes out. As for where she goes, no one knows. Her whereabouts are always mysterious."
"Or rather, she is very cautious."
Mr. Bai knocked on the table and said, "It seems that there is a big problem with this Lianxin."
"I think so too, and I wonder if the master has ever discovered it."
"What?" Mr. Bai looked at him in confusion.
After hesitating, the housekeeper said, "When I first bought Lian Xin, I felt that she looked very similar to someone in her eyebrows."
"Just say what you want to say." Mr. Bai glared at the butler unhappily.
The housekeeper finally stopped teasing and said directly, "I think she looks a bit like Miss Bai Xing who was sold away."
"I really don't remember what that maid looked like. You have a good memory."
The housekeeper touched his nose and wanted to say that the girl had seduced him before.
After thinking about it, I still didn’t say anything.
"Aren't these young ones the ones who take care of them?"
"So you think she might be Bai Xing's family member, here to avenge Bai Xing?"
Mr. Bai hit the nail on the head. The housekeeper shook his head: "To be honest, I don't know either. Just because they look alike, it doesn't mean they are related to Bai Xing."
"Master, don't worry. I will keep a close eye on her. If she does anything to harm the Bai family, I will capture her immediately."
"Okay, I'll leave this matter to you." Mr. Bai nodded.
Then he instructed the housekeeper, "Send someone to keep an eye on the place where the results are posted. If the young man passes, invite him home."
"yes."
After Mr. Bai finished making the arrangements, he went to have dinner with Meng Xueyan.
The next morning.
Mr. Bai was not at home, so the housekeeper reported to Meng Xueyan that Bai Xinrui had gone out again.
Meng Xueyan was too lazy to care about her and just waved her hand and let her go.
The housekeeper agreed and turned to leave.
Instead, he sent someone to follow the mule cart, which stopped in front of the courtyard.
Lianxin went forward and knocked on the door again. It was Baoshun who opened the door again. Seeing the two people at the door, he couldn't help but frown.
"Why are you two here again?" Baoshun started to get annoyed. How could this girl be so shameless? He had chased her away once, and now she's here again.
Lian Xin said quickly, "Young man, go and tell him that our daughter wants to meet him."
"Don't rush to refuse. My daughter was upset that day and almost committed suicide. It was your son who spoke up and saved her."
"We girls just wanted to express our gratitude. After all, it was a life-saving favor. Secondly, we want to return a private item to you."
Hearing Lianxin's words, Baoshun thought of the incident where the young master's sachet fell.
"Your daughter found my master's sachet?"
"Yes." Lianxin nodded proudly.
Baoshun thought for a moment and said, "Wait a moment."
Lianxin thanked him quickly, then looked at Bai Xinrui and gave her a look.
Bai Xinrui was also very happy. Not long after, Baoshun came back.
Behind him was Qiu Hanyan, who was wearing light blue clothes: "Miss, you picked up my sachet. This sachet is very important to me. Thank you very much."
When Bai Xinrui and her servant saw Qiu Hanyan's true appearance, they were all stunned. Isn't this man too handsome?
Qiu Hanyan felt a little uncomfortable. He clenched his fist, placed it to his lips and coughed lightly. Only then did the two of them wake up.
Bai Xinrui walked forward with a sachet in her hand.
She smiled happily and said, "Mr. Qiu, the old saying is right. A life-saving grace should be repaid with one's own body."
"If you pass this time, you will definitely have to go to the capital to take the exam in the future. As you come from a farming and scholar family, I'm afraid it will be difficult to find money for the journey."
"I am the daughter of the Bai family. If you marry me, you will definitely not regret it."
Baoshun almost burst out laughing when he heard her say that she had difficulty finding money.
What kind of illusion gave her the impression that her young master was short of money?
Qiu Hanyan was also a little stunned, then laughed and said, "It was just a few words, it's not worthy of saving my life."
"You're making excuses like this, but you already have a wife at home. It's okay, I can be your co-wife."
"Could this sachet be embroidered by your wife?" Bai Xinrui said, staring at the sachet in her hand unhappily, as if she wanted to destroy it.
Qiu Hanyan frowned, his voice becoming a bit colder: "Young lady, this is not a joke. How can you, an unmarried girl, openly and silently ask to be someone's concubine?"
"This sachet was embroidered by my younger sister. Please return it to me."
When Bai Xinrui heard that the sachet was embroidered by Qiu Hanyan's sister, the jealousy in her eyes instantly disappeared.
"So it was your sister who embroidered it. Your sister is really good at embroidery." As he said this, he also gave her a compliment.
Qiu Hanyan stretched out his hand, and Bai Xinrui reluctantly returned the sachet.
"Mr. Qiu, what you just said, do you mean that you haven't married yet?"
Bai Xinrui became more and more demanding.
Qiu Hanyan frowned, but still nodded: "Yes."
"Thank you." After saying that, Qiu Hanyan turned around and prepared to go back.
Someone grabbed his sleeve, and Qiu Hanyan turned his head to look at his sleeve.
