Chapter 164 What kind of girl does Fourth Brother like?
Chen Lezhi was furious and said in a crisp voice, "Yu Pingping, you wanted Xie Si to be a hero and save the beauty so that you could marry him, didn't you? You're absolutely crazy! Your maternal family is quite wealthy, and you yourself said they loved you very much. I sent you to live with them, but you refused. You actually wanted to be someone's concubine! You're so disappointing! I saved you for nothing!"
Yu Pingping's face lost all color.
Wen Xingluo said gently, "Le Zhixin speaks his mind frankly, please don't mind Miss Yu."
Yu Pingping glanced at Chen Lezhi hatefully.
What do you mean by speaking your mind? Chen Lezhi was targeting her on purpose!
He clearly saved her and could clearly see her feelings for Fourth Young Master Xie, but he refused to help bring them together!
The palace is wealthy, and the fourth son Xie is a handsome man, so it's perfect for him to entrust his life to. It's better than wasting three years at my maternal grandparents' house and then marrying a random businessman.
Before her parents died, they entrusted Chen Lezhi to take care of her. I really don’t know how she did it!
But she didn't want to leave a bad impression on the old concubine, so she forced a smile and said, "The princess misunderstood me. I have no other intentions towards the Fourth Young Master Xie. As for those hooligans, I think they are just deliberately framing me."
Wen Xingluo took a sip of almond tea and said slowly, "I understand. I've long seen that Miss Yu has a clean background and is a very loyal and pure person. She would definitely not willingly become a concubine."
Chen Lezhi and Xie Shian were immediately displeased when they heard this. They were about to refute her, but were given a warning look by Xie Guanlan.
Wen Xingluo continued, "It's just that if this matter gets out, it won't look good, and it won't be good for Miss Yu's reputation. It just so happens that I know the Shen family, the imperial merchant family, and their caravan will be leaving for Chang'an in the next two days. I can arrange for Miss Yu to go with them. This way, it will also save Miss Yu's reputation."
This sounds polite, but in fact it means to chase the guest away.
Yu Pingping looked at her in disbelief.
The stepdaughter of the palace looked docile and not half as smart as Chen Lezhi, but unexpectedly she was so cunning that she had to leave the palace with just a few words!
She bit her lip and kept glancing at Xie Shian, "But..."
Xie Guanlan frowned, "You don't want to leave?"
He was a killing god who crawled out of the pile of dead bodies, stepping on piles of bones. The pressure in his bones was suddenly released, pressing Yu Pingping so hard that her back bent three points in an instant.
She dared to have any thoughts about Xie Shian, but when facing Xie Guanlan, she didn't dare to have any fantasies at all.
She stammered for a long time, but her throat felt like it was stuffed with cotton and she couldn't utter a single word.
Unable to bear Xie Guanlan's cold and murderous gaze, Yu Pingping suddenly whimpered and rushed out crying.
After coming out of Wansongyuan, Xie Guanlan went to work.
Xie Shian said, "Luckily, Big Brother and Ningning are reliable and helped me get rid of a trouble. Chen Lezhi, can you not keep anyone around you next time?"
"I—" Chen Lezhi knew he was in the wrong, and his arrogance dropped a little. "I saw her so pitiful, and her weak and helpless appearance was a bit like Ningning, so I couldn't help but feel a liking for her, so I brought her along to protect her."
"Ningning isn't a weak, helpless girl," Xie Shi'an retorted. "Ningning is very smart and plans things out very well. A gentleman doesn't stand under a dangerous wall. First of all, it's impossible for her to be ambushed by bandits like Yu Pingping!"
"You have a point..."
Wen Xingluo looked at the two of them, and suddenly felt a strange feeling in his heart.
After Chen Lezhi returned to Xiejinyuan to catch up on his sleep, Wen Xingluo asked Xie Shian, "What kind of girl does Fourth Brother like?"
"girl?"
Although Xie Shian often fought cockfights with a bunch of playboys and climbed over high walls to peek at girls, he was really blank when it came to his love experience.
Facing Wen Xingluo's expectant face, Xie Shian thought for a moment and said seriously, "I don't have high requirements for my future wife. First of all, her character should be gentle and considerate, well-educated, beautiful and intelligent, as quiet as a virgin and as agile as a rabbit. Her appearance should be stunning, preferably even more charming and seductive, with fair skin, a redder mouth, a thinner waist, longer legs, and a chest - cough!
"As for talent and learning, you need to be well-read and knowledgeable in astronomy and geography. It would be best if you knew martial arts so you could often practice with me. You also need to be proficient in music, chess, calligraphy, and painting. Oh, and you need to be a good cook too, mastering the eight major cuisines#%@..."
He was chattering away.
Wen Xingluo saw that what he said was getting more and more outrageous, so he left without listening to the end.
Her fourth brother is making a wish here.
Even the matchmaker would shake his head.
When he returned to Xiejinyuan, Chen Lezhi had just finished taking a shower.
Wen Xingluo helped her wring out her hair and asked, "Lezhi, what kind of man do you like?"
"What kind of man do you like?" Chen Lezhi tilted his head in thought. "My requirements for my future husband aren't high. First of all, temperament. He should be domineering yet gentle, rough yet delicate, dignified and aloof yet gentle as jade. As for his appearance, he should be as handsome as Xie Guanlan, preferably with the ethereal grace of Xie Yanchen and the heroic presence of my brother. He should have the stature and stability of a mature man, but also the sunny and cheerful spirit of a youth."
Wen Xingluo: “…”
Well, here comes another wish.
Chen Lezhi rambled on, "He can't just be a showpiece that looks good but doesn't do anything. He must possess unparalleled martial arts that can defeat thousands of troops! He must be well-versed in history and the present, knowledgeable in astronomy and geography, skilled in military tactics, and proficient in feng shui, able to observe the weather and predict the future! He must be able to handle both the kitchen and the living room, be versatile and adept at all things, and serve me comfortably both at home and outside!"
Wen Xingluo: "Do you like someone who can breathe fire?"
Chen Lezhi laughed heartily, "Ningning, you're so funny! Where in the world is there a man who can breathe fire?!"
Wen Xingluo: “…”
There are no men in the world who can breathe fire. Could there be such a man as she described?!
Her fourth brother and Lezhi went to the Yue Lao Temple to make a wish, but Yue Lao had to move the temple and run away overnight!
…
The other side.
Yu Pingping ran out of Wansongyuan crying, unable to dispel her sorrow, so she went to the side door and planned to go for a walk on the street.
As I approached the gatehouse, I could faintly hear two servants talking inside:
"...The Third Young Master hasn't left yet?"
"I haven't left yet. I'm still waiting for our young lady."
Yu Pingping pricked up her ears.
The third young master?
Could it be the third young master who never shows up in the Zhenbei Palace?
I heard that he was doing business in the Western Regions. Could he have returned?
Yu Pingping glanced at the magnificent palace.
Seeing that her way of getting close to Xie Shi'an was not feasible, it would be great if she could hook up with the Third Young Master Xie. After all, they were both merchants, so they were a good match. Maybe she could even become the wife of the Third Young Master of the Zhenbei Palace.
Don’t Chen Lezhi and Wen Xingluo look down on her?
She wanted to impress both of them!
Yu Pingping made up her mind, adjusted her hairpin, and walked out of the side door slowly.
