Chapter 561 I'm here to settle accounts with you
Bai Xiaofeng let out an "ah" and asked tentatively, "...Are you bothered by the matter with Zhou Jijiu? Or are you not considering getting married for the time being?"
Bai Xiaofeng was also anxious.
Looking at the eldest sister-in-law and her mother-in-law, the loving mother and filial daughter, she has been wanting a daughter-in-law for a long time.
She was not sure what her son's attitude was.
We can't delay it for a few more years, can we?
Yu Yongliu pressed his brows again: "...I got drunk at the Qionglin Banquet before, and I accidentally flirted with a girl. I was so drunk at the time that I forgot what the girl looked like. I only vaguely remember that she didn't look like a palace maid, so she should be the daughter of a royal family who followed her elders into the palace..."
Bai Xiaofeng sucked in a breath of cool air, and stood up tremblingly without even being able to stand steadily: "Ah? What's going on... frivolous? Brother Liu, you..."
Yu Yongliu was silent for a moment, then couldn't help but press his forehead: "...Mom, I don't think it's as serious as you think."
At the Qionglin Banquet, he, the newly crowned number one scholar who had won six prizes in a row, was drunk a little too much and felt a little uncomfortable. He found a chance to come out and took the sobering pills prepared by Xingxing.
When Yu Yongliu closed his eyes and waited for the medicine to take effect, he heard a female voice saying "eh" amid the rustling sound of wind blowing through the bamboo forest, asking why there was someone sitting on the steps.
Then Yu Yongliu was ready to stand up and avoid it, but the other party just happened to be behind him to see what happened to him - the two of them just happened to bump into each other, and there happened to be a step with a height difference next to them, and they both rolled down.
Although it wasn’t high and the fall wasn’t painful, but…
When the two of them landed on the ground, Yu Yongliu suddenly pressed the girl under him.
The little girl was stunned at the time. Although Yu Yongliu was drunk, he knew that this was extremely rude. He didn't even see the little girl's face clearly. He quickly stood up, bowed to her and said, "Miss, please forgive me."
As a result, he bent over, and the cold wind blew, and he became a little more sober due to the effect of the hangover pills. When he looked up again, the girl was gone, and only the rustling sound of the bamboo forest in the wind remained.
Yu Yongliu even suspected for a moment that he was drunk and had hallucinations.
Later, when he returned to the Qionglin Banquet, Zhang Nan, who was ranked seventh in the second class, came over and reminded him quietly: "Third Master, there is something on your front..."
Only then did Yu Yongliu realize that the front of his clothes was stained with a trace of girl's makeup.
It must have been the infection that the girl got when she was rolling down earlier.
Yu Yongliu was stunned for a long time before he reacted and realized that it was not a dream. He had indeed accidentally and rudely flirted with a girl.
However, after the Qionglin Banquet, there were three consecutive thank-you banquets for teachers. Yu Yongliu had a good sleep for the time being, and his mind was finally clear.
He felt that he should first apologize to the girl and gain her forgiveness.
If the girl lets him take responsibility, he will marry her.
If the girl is unwilling to forgive him, then he will find a way to make her forgive him.
We have to deal with this matter first before we can talk about marriage.
Bai Xiaofeng felt relieved after hearing what her son said.
But there is still the other half. Bai Xiaofeng became nervous again. He didn't know what kind of character and temperament the girl had. If he really married her directly, what would he do if they couldn't get along well?
"I was wrong in every way. I shouldn't have drunk so much." Yu Yongliu lowered his eyebrows. "I should take this as a warning in the future."
Bai Xiaofeng felt distressed again.
My son is so young and he has won six top prizes in a row and became the top scorer in the imperial examination. He must be a young man full of vigor and vitality!
How can you take this as a warning? It sounds really sad.
The mother and son were talking when they heard the gatekeeper come to report that someone from the Gong residence had come and said that our second young master had abducted a decent woman and wanted to lock him up and send him to the government office! There was a commotion going on outside the residence right now!
Upon hearing this, veins on Bai Xiaofeng's forehead popped out!
Yu Yongliu didn't know about this yet, so Bai Xiaofeng, feeling indignant, told Yu Yongliu the general story.
"I'm going to go out and see what trouble that family of scoundrels is going to cause!" Bai Xiaofeng was very angry.
"Second aunt."
Xing Xing came in from outside: "I heard about the trouble at Gong's house. Sister Gong doesn't know about it yet. She is taking care of my second brother at my second brother's place... I will go and deal with the Gong family's affairs outside the house."
Bai Xiaofeng didn't disbelieve that Xing Xing could handle it, she was just worried: "I'm afraid you'll be bullied."
Xing Xing smiled sweetly: "No, I can't do that. If I can still be bullied at the doorstep of our mansion, then I am too weak!"
Bai Xiaofeng was still a little worried, so Yu Yongliu said, "I'll go with Xingxing to take a look."
Bai Xiaofeng thought about it and it made sense. One of them was the Lady of Fusui Township appointed by the emperor himself, and the other was a newly crowned top scholar who won six top honors in a row. She just couldn't believe that the Gong family would dare to bully them!
An old man hangs himself because he thinks his life is too long?
When Xing Xing and Yu Yongliu arrived at the gate of the mansion, the old lady from the Gong Mansion who was about the same age as Mrs. Wei was also there.
Xingxing remembered that the last time she met this old lady, she wanted to have rings on all ten fingers, and the gold hairpins on her head should be as bright as possible, so that people could see her noble status.
This time it was much simpler.
Even the hairpins were replaced with silver ones.
Xingxing knew what was going on.
During this time, Sister Gong was slowly moving the Gong family shop to the Yu family store, and at the same time she also cut off some unnecessary expenses for the Gong family.
If the second and third brothers of Gong are bad gamblers, who else can clean up their messes without sister Gong?
Of course it was their biological mother, Old Lady Gong.
...It's not surprising that Mrs. Gong suddenly became simple.
"Oh my god! They dared to kidnap my granddaughter so brazenly under the emperor's feet!"
When Old Lady Gong saw the master-like person coming out of the house, she howled even more vigorously, and even wanted to rush up to grab Xing Xing: "...Where is my granddaughter! Where did you hide my granddaughter!"
Just as Xingxing said, this is in front of Yu's house, how can anyone get close to Xingxing?
The servants of the Yu family rushed forward with a fierce look in their eyes, and old lady Gong was stopped before she could even touch the edge of Xingxing's clothes.
"How dare you rude me, my Lord! Don't be so rude!"
Old Madam Gong shrank back, but thinking of the third son who was still in prison, she gritted her teeth and said sternly, "So what if he is the county lord! County lord, county lord, you can't detain my granddaughter! Is there any law left?"
"Mrs. Gong," Xing Xing said coldly, "Mr. Hongo only invited Miss Gong to stay at his home for a while, and you came to make trouble like this. What do you want to do?... But then again, I have something else to settle with you!"
