Si Yi's face darkened.
What's the story with the princess?
Are you so bored that you're going to act as a matchmaker for Lü Qiao?
Several servants who had come with her immediately became attentive upon hearing what Wen Nong Nong said, rushing forward to speak with Lü Qiao and try to win her favor.
Lüqiao was a capable head maidservant of the princess, and she was also good-looking. They had long harbored feelings for her, and when they heard from Steward Wang that the princess intended to choose a suitable husband for Lüqiao from among the servants in the mansion, they naturally took it to heart.
"What does the pretty girl usually like to do? What does she like to eat?"
When Lü Qiao saw several servants suddenly surrounding her, she was somewhat bewildered.
Back when she was in the Prince's mansion, although some servants tried to curry favor with her, none of them were as direct as they are now.
However, the servants in front of her were all quite handsome, so she didn't feel any aversion. After calming down, she said, "I like them..."
"The person she likes is me, and the person she wants to marry is also me. Get the hell out of my sight." A cold voice suddenly interrupted her.
Everyone: "..."
Wen Nongnong realized what was happening and looked at Si Yi with a half-smile.
This kid's true colors have finally been revealed.
However, she was quite surprised, thinking he wasn't that impatient. It seems she underestimated his feelings for Lü Qiao.
She deliberately put on a stern face and said, "Si Yi, you can't say things like that. You'll ruin Lü Qiao's reputation."
"Anyway, she can only marry me in this lifetime." Si Yi had calmed down by now. He glanced at the stunned girl beside him and said seriously, "Your Highness, you don't need to worry about her marriage anymore. I will propose to Your Highness in a couple of days."
Upon hearing this, Wen Nongnong curled the corners of her lips. "I understand your desire to marry Lü Qiao, after all, my Lü Qiao is so cute and beautiful, but have you asked Lü Qiao if she is willing to marry you?"
Si paused for a moment, frowned as she looked at Lü Qiao, and said somewhat awkwardly, "You...you're willing?"
Lü Qiao had come to her senses by now, but she was a little afraid to meet his gaze. She had never imagined that he would say those words in front of everyone.
At this moment, she was in a state of great turmoil, not knowing what to do. In addition, the boy's gaze was fixed on her intently, which added a lot of pressure to her.
She lowered her eyes, her mind in turmoil, and said, "I...I will follow Miss's arrangements."
Si Yi's expression darkened.
Upon hearing this, Wen Nongnong put her arm around Lü Qiao's shoulder with great satisfaction. Then, as if she hadn't seen Si Yi's unpleasant expression, she deliberately said, "If you ask me, we should look at a few more. After all, marriage is a lifelong matter, and we can't make a hasty decision."
These young men are quite good; they were all personally selected by Butler Wang. Their character and abilities are acceptable. If not, we'll just pick them from outside..."
Upon hearing this, Si Yi's face turned as black as the bottom of a pot.
Fearing that Lü Qiao might be brainwashed by Wen Nong Nong, he suddenly reached out and grabbed Lü Qiao's wrist, pulling her out of Wen Nong Nong's arms. He said with a grim expression, "Your Highness, Lü Qiao and I have some private matters to resolve, so we will not be accompanying you."
After saying that, without waiting for Wen Nongnong to say anything, he pulled the stunned girl aside and walked away.
Wen Nongnong kept her arm around Lü Qiao's shoulder, staring dumbfounded at the two people who walked away.
Bai Li was also a little dumbfounded.
The other servants were somewhat puzzled.
What's going on? Could it be that Miss Green and Guard Si have already secretly pledged their lives to each other?
After a long while, Wen Nongnong came to her senses, and a relieved smile, like that of an old mother, appeared on her face.
With just a little trick, she made Si Yi's feelings for Lü Qiao impossible to hide.
Why don't you want to get married?
She got so anxious when she was choosing a husband for Lü Qiao.
It seems that Lü Qiao doesn't understand Si Yi very well, or perhaps she lacks confidence in herself.
"Alright, that's all. You can all go back now," Wen Nongnong said to the servants.
The servant, treated like a tool: "...Yes."
After the servants had gone some distance, Bai Li asked, "Si Yi's expression looked very frightening just now. He wouldn't do anything to Lü Qiao, would he?"
Wen Nongnong flicked the handkerchief in her hand and said with a smile, "It looks quite scary, but in front of the girl I love, it's just a paper tiger."
Bai Li thought for a moment and then understood, and smiled, "You mean Si Yi likes Lü Qiao?"
Wen Nongnong nodded, "Yes." Then, she sighed, "The connection between people is truly wondrous. I never expected that this incident would lead to feelings developing between the two of us."
"But this is good too, it saves the Prince and me from having to worry about their marriage in the future."
Bai Li said, "Did you already guess Si Yi's feelings for Lü Qiao, and that's why you orchestrated this whole thing today?"
Wen Nongnong's lips curled up slightly. "Yes, but I didn't expect Si Yi to be so impatient. Perhaps it won't be long before our Prince's Mansion holds a wedding."
Bai Li followed closely behind, and upon hearing this, she couldn't help but lick her lips, "Then there must be lots of delicious food? I've never been to a wedding banquet before."
As he spoke, a longing expression appeared on his face.
Wen Nongnong was amused by her little expression. "You little glutton, there's delicious food in the palace every day, how come you're still craving it?"
“That’s different. I heard the food at wedding banquets is even better,” Bai Li said earnestly.
"Actually, they're all the same. It's just that the atmosphere is different, which is why the food tastes better." Wen Nongnong shook her head, somewhat amused.
After strolling around for a while, Wen Nongnong remembered something and asked, "By the way, have the Third Elder and the others gone back?"
"No, it seems they've taken on a job escorting a caravan's goods back to Tunzhou. They won't be returning for another two days," Bai Li said.
After the Third Elder and his disciples escorted Wen Nongnong and Gu Linchao to Xiangzhou, they did not stay at the Prince of Xiang's residence; instead, they rented a house outside.
Wen Nongnong nodded. "That's good."
Thanks to the Third Elder's escort, she and Gu Linchao's group were able to reach Xiangzhou safely.
With this in mind, an idea came to her.
She had originally planned to open a Hundred Flowers Pavilion in Xiangzhou, so she could also have the Third Elder's men open a branch of a security escort agency here.
With that in mind, she took Bai Li to the Third Elder's residence.
On the other side, after Si Yi pulled Lü Qiao away, he did not go directly back to the Prince of Xiang's mansion, but instead took her into a teahouse.
Greenie realized what was happening, struggled to free her hands, and cried out, "Let go of me right now!"
Si glanced at her and said, "If you want to attract attention, then go for it."
Upon hearing this, Lü Qiao subconsciously looked around and, seeing that someone was indeed looking this way, had no choice but to stop struggling.
"Give me a private room," said Si Yichao to the waiter beside him.
The shop assistant quickly led the two upstairs.
After entering the private room, Si Yi let go of Lü Qiao's hand.
