Even though the maidservant hadn't eaten yet and her stomach was growling with hunger, she only dared to glance at the half-remaining food on the table, not daring to show the slightest dissatisfaction on her face.
In the past, the young lady would give her the leftovers after every meal, but now she didn't say anything. It seemed that because she had messed up, the young lady was punishing her intentionally or unintentionally.
At this time, Xu Wenwu didn't know that what was waiting for him was a bad love affair, and what he didn't know was that this incident almost cost someone's life.
After Xu Wenwu finished his meal, he took Wendie's hand and went out. The other members of the Xu family were very pleased to see that the relationship between the two children was getting better and better.
The two came to the flower field behind the house, talking and laughing, looking like a young couple in love.
"In the twelfth year of my youth, I cut an ear of wheat for a fur coat. The fragrant wind stirred the crooked locust trees, and I rode barefoot on a horse." A clear and pleasant voice of a woman was heard.
"Girl, you are so talented! I didn't expect to meet a woman like you who is both beautiful and talented here. It is truly a blessing for us!"
Then a man clapped his hands and praised.
Upon hearing this, Wen Die couldn't help but reveal her curiosity and said, "This poem is really well written, and it's written by a woman. It's really rare. Brother Xu, why don't we go over and take a look?"
Xu Wenwu gently scratched the tip of Wendie's nose, looked at her lovingly and said, "As you wish!"
Little did they know that the affectionate scene between the two was clearly seen by the person who had been paying attention to them, and he secretly clenched his fists.
There were already seven or eight scholars and students who came here to play, and they couldn't take their eyes off the beautiful woman who was surrounded in the middle!
The two stood on the outskirts of the crowd, watching the situation in the center of the field.
"I didn't expect that a woman who could write such beautiful sentences would also have such an extraordinary appearance!" Wen Die said excitedly.
Xu Wenwu simply glanced at the woman in the field and whispered softly in Wendie's ear, "I don't think she's as pretty as Dier!"
Wen Die blushed and glanced at Xu Wenwu a little embarrassedly, but it seemed as if a piece of honey was slowly melting in her heart.
"Thank you for your compliments. I have been learning poetry and songs from the teacher hired by my family since I was a child. This is the first time I have seen such a beautiful flower field. I couldn't control my emotions for a moment. I can't compare with the talented scholars who are full of knowledge. I really don't deserve your praise. I am sorry for my humble performance." After saying this, the woman bowed.
"Girl, there's no need to be so modest. Everyone present here has heard the poem you just wrote. This is not an exhibition of ugliness, but a self-deprecation. Could you please tell me your name?" A young man looked at the girl with burning eyes.
It is not difficult to see that he was attracted by Lu Qianzhi's appearance and talent.
"My surname is Lu and my name is Qianzhi." The woman said with a smile, lowering her head.
Her already beautiful face, with her lowered brows and faint smile, made the men around her even more distracted.
"It turns out to be Miss Lu. I'm so sorry. You are the first woman with such great talent and learning that I have ever met. It's an honor to meet you. Please allow me to introduce myself. My surname is Qin, and my name is Qin Liang." The man who spoke before spoke again.
"Hello, Mr. Qin!" Lu Qianzhi smiled and knelt down to salute. She glanced in the direction of Xu Wenwu out of the corner of her eye, but found that his eyes were always on the woman beside him who was as beautiful as herself.
Although she was indignant in her heart, she could only behave like a lady in front of so many people.
With a sudden thought, she came up with a plan. Lu Qianzhi walked lightly to Wendie and said with a smile, "My beautiful sister, I noticed you just now. I didn't expect that there is such a beautiful woman like you. Today I finally know that there is always someone better than you."
While speaking, Lu Qianzhi never looked at Xu Wenwu, but always looked at Wendie with an innocent smile.
Wendie was stunned at first, then recovered and said politely: "Thank you for the compliment, young lady. You are very beautiful too."
Lu Qianzhi smiled and said, "Really? This is the first time I've been praised by a woman!"
The people around looked at the equally beautiful Wen Die. The two beauties standing together created such a unique and beautiful scene that it was impossible to ignore.
Xu Wenwu frowned, somewhat dissatisfied with the seven or eight pairs of eyes looking at Wendie, so he took Wendie's hand to declare his sovereignty.
Wendie shyly looked at Xu Wenwu holding her hand. Although she was being watched by so many eyes, she was shy but did not struggle.
"Sister, who is this?" Lu Qianzhi asked with a smile.
"He is my fiancé." Wen Die introduced generously.
"So, sister, you're already engaged! Congratulations, sister. Your fiancé must be very outstanding, otherwise a beautiful girl like sister wouldn't fall in love with him." Lu Qianzhi said, staring at Xu Wenwu.
Although Wendie knew that Xu Wenwu only liked her, she was also a stingy person. She didn't like the way Lu Qianzhi stared at Xu Wenwu. She always felt that he was being obedient, and she didn't know if it was her illusion.
"My fiancé is naturally the best in my heart. Miss Lu, we are just passing by and won't stay for long!" Wen Die said with a faint smile.
Lu Qianzhi retracted her gaze and said with a smile: "Sister, since you have something to do, I won't bother you any more. But you and I are really destined to be together. I wonder if I can talk to you next time?"
Wen Die said: "If we meet again by chance next time, it will be fine. Brother Xu, let's go!"
Xu Wenwu nodded, and from beginning to end, his eyes did not linger on Lu Qianzhi's face for long.
