People who think I'm ugly are so sweet

The eighth day of the seventh lunar month is an auspicious day for marriage, but the weather is not beautiful, and the sky is gloomy early in the morning. It seems that I can't make up my mind whether it will rain or not.

Xu Xilu got up early in the morning. As Xu Xuanying's only younger brother, he was going to be greeted and sent off at the gate by Xu Taihe early in the morning.Mrs. Zhang was very concerned about today's wedding, even the clothes for him and the two young ladies were prepared early and delivered to each yard yesterday.What she chose for Xu Xilu was a blush brocade dress, which could not only express joy, but also not steal the limelight from the bridegroom's bright red wedding dress.

Xu Xilu doesn't like red very much, but as long as he wears this face, he won't look ugly in any color.As soon as he changed his clothes, a young servant came to report: "Second young master, the eldest young master is about to set off to pick up the bride, and the master told you to hurry over."

"Got it," Xu Xilu said, "This is the end."

Xu Xilu rushed to the gate of Xu Mansion, and finally saw today's protagonist.Xu Xuanying is dressed in a red wedding dress, a silver crown on her head, and a jade pendant around her waist.Such a strong red color formed a stark contrast with his elegance, although he was as handsome as before, but what was missing?Xu Xilu couldn't help but think of the last time when he was in Prince Rui's mansion, he saw Song Yanqing wearing a red dress and painting at his desk - presumably only his luxurious appearance in this world can make this fiery color look so good.

Xu Xuanying stepped on the steed, her eyes were dark and blue, as if she hadn't slept last night.The sound of eight-tone gongs and drums sounded all around, and the firecrackers shook the sky. A group of wedding reception teams marched toward the Yasukuni Mansion.

It was too early for the auspicious time, many guests had already arrived, Xu Taihe and Xu Xilu greeted them one by one outside, and sent them to the honored seats.Xu Xilu took this opportunity to get acquainted with many high-ranking officials, and wanted to come to Xu Taihe and order him to welcome the guests together, and he also wanted to let him learn more.In the past, when there was a banquet at home, Xu Xilu never showed up, and many people didn't know his existence.This time when I picked up the guests with Xu Taihe, many elders praised him as "a beautiful tree facing the wind, with extraordinary appearance", and many family members saw him and asked Mrs. Zhang about his situation.The son showed his face in this way, Xu Tai and Xi looked even better, sweeping away the sluggishness of the day before yesterday.

It is said that now the dispute between Shen and Xie is beginning to emerge, even though Xu Taihe is Xie's in-law, he dare not neglect the Shen family.The wedding post was sent to the Shen residence early in the morning, and the Shen residence never returned the post, but Shen Xiuming hadn't arrived that day, and it was his son, Shen Zixian, who came.

"Xu Shangshu, congratulations!"

"Mr. Shen Qi, hurry up!" Xu Taihe said politely, "Xi Lu, send Mr. Shen Qi inside."

Xu Xilu smiled, "Master Shen Qi, please."

"Xi Lu, you're welcome, just call me Zixian." Shen Zixian showed his signature love smile again, "Long time no see, how is Xi Lu?"

"It's okay."

Shen Zixian approached Xu Xilu, and said in a low voice: "My father didn't want me to come today, but I thought that since it was Xu Xuanying's wedding, Brother Xilu would definitely show up, so I ignored my father's objection and came here with a gift. What? , are you very touched, huh?"

"I'm very touched." Xu Xilu still had a distant smile on his face, "Mr. Shen Qi, you can sit here with the young masters of the Rong family, is that okay?"

"Yes, yes," Shen Zixian said frivolously, "Brother Xilu can say anything, hahahaha..."

The corner of Xu Xilu's mouth twitched, and just as he was about to leave, Shen Zixian, who was in a good mood just now, suddenly snorted in disgust, and said dissatisfiedly, "Why is he here? What a disappointment."

Xu Xilu looked back and saw Xie Qingsu walking towards the banquet under the leadership of a steward.Today he was wearing a sky blue long gown and dark clothes, he was not as unremarkable as usual, but he looked more elegant and handsome.He met Xu Xilu's gaze, and for some reason there was a bit of hesitation in his eyes, and then he saw Shen Zixian standing beside him, so close, he couldn't help frowning.

"This man from the Xie family is really lingering." Shen Zi said dissatisfiedly, "Look at his arrogant appearance, he really treats himself like a green onion, and he still has the guts to intervene with me... Doesn't he know that the current Queen Mother Is it my real aunt, is Your Majesty my real cousin! He really can!"

Xu Xilu was noncommittal, "There are still things ahead, I excuse myself."

"Are you leaving now?" Shen Zixian was a little disappointed, "Okay, let's make a private appointment next time."

Xu Xilu saw that Xie Qingsu had already taken a seat with Xie Qingxin, after thinking about it, he went over to say hello to the two of them.Xie Qingshen, who always loves to be lively, joked: "Today is your elder brother's wedding, when will it be your turn, Xilu?"

Xu Xilu said with a smile: "Brother Qingxin is two years older than me, and if you want to get married, you must do it first."

"Hahaha, I am not an official, which good family in Shangjing is willing to marry my daughter to me." Xie Qingshen joked, "But Qingsu, who is second in our Qinghui list, every day comes to Xie's house to knock on the sidelines. It broke the threshold of the house."

Xie Qingsu seemed reluctant to discuss this topic, "Third Brother."

Xu Xilu blinked, and said: "I heard that last month Qingsu read Shen Zixian's book in front of the Holy Master?"

Xie Qingsu looked directly at him, "You also think that my trip is inappropriate?"

The corners of Xu Xilu's lips raised slightly, "Qingsu, you are very brave, I'm just sorry, I didn't see it with my own eyes."

There was a slight smile in Xie Qingsu's eyes, but Xie Qingxin's expression on the side was a little dignified: "Then Shen Zixian is really not a good person. It is said that the eighth aunt in his courtyard was the daughter of a commoner who was forcibly married, and she forced her to death. The woman's original match. However, Shen Guogong and his wife have always protected their shortcomings. It is no wonder that Qingsu doesn't hold grudges when he blatantly interferes with him. But," he straightened his back, "our Xie family is not vegetarian."

"It's just that I might implicate the Xu family." Xie Qingsu said.

"You don't have to worry about that," Xu Xilu said with a smile, "The Xie family eats meat, so is the Xu family a vegetarian?"

"Hahaha, that's right. Mr. Shang Shu started from scratch and created such a large foundation with one hand. Naturally, he is also a powerful person."

"This must be the Second Young Master Xu?" A young young man who was at the same table with the Xie family brothers said, "I heard Brother Qing Xin mentioned you, and I am very grateful for what happened to Miss Yao last time. Let's follow what Brother Xu said Sure enough, Shen Zixian didn't bother too much."

Xie Qingshen introduced to Xu Xilu: "This is Shangguan Chen who is number nine on the Qinghui list."

Shangguan Chen has a well-rounded appearance and looks like a proud literati.Xu Xilu smiled and said, "So it's Brother Shangguan, I've admired him for a long time."

"By the way," Xie Qingxin looked around and said, "Why don't you see the little prince? I heard he will come too."

Xu Xilu looked up at the sky, "He...will come."

There are still many things to be busy at the moment, Xu Xilu can't stay for a long time, so he chatted for a while and left.Xie Qingxin exchanged pleasantries with the children of aristocratic families who were seated at the same seat, and when she turned her head, she saw her younger brother was holding a teacup in a daze, with a slight smile on his lips, he couldn't help saying: "Qingsu?"

Xie Qingsu regained his composure, and said something unclear: "He's not angry anymore." He also said that he was very courageous.

Xie Qingxin asked blankly, "Who? Why are you angry?"

Xie Qingsu coughed lightly, "It's nothing."

There was only half an hour left before the auspicious time, the banquet was almost full, even the internal officials brought today's rewards, but today's guest, Prince Duan, had not yet arrived.Xu Xilu was a little puzzled, did he really see the wrong person?So Song Yanqing is actually a coward who can afford it and can't let it go?

Xu Xilu worked for a long time and didn't drink a sip of water. Jiudong felt sorry for him, so he brought him a soup of tremella and lotus seeds to relieve the heat while he was welcoming guests.Xu Xilu only took a sip, and felt his throat became much moister.

"Master, there are a lot of people here in the mansion today." The last time the Xu mansion held a wedding was Xu Taihe's [-]th birthday, and there were far fewer guests than today.Jiudong had never seen such a lively scene, and wished he could grow a few more pairs of eyes. "Master, do you think that today's guests all come in through the main entrance?"

"Nonsense, could it be possible to come in through the side door?"

"But, just now I saw a big carriage parked outside our side door," Jiu Dong gestured, "It's so big! It looks like a thief!"

"Oh?" Xu Xilu raised his eyebrows, "Did you see someone sitting there?"

"I didn't see it. But there was a guard with a knife standing in front of the carriage," Jiudong shattered, "It looks a little scary."

"Let's go." Xu Xilu handed the empty soup bowl to Jiudong, "Take me to have a look."

Compared with the bustling crowd at the main entrance, the side entrance is much deserted.Xu Xilu pushed the door and walked out, and sure enough there was a luxurious carriage parked at the door.

Seeing Xu Xilu, Xuan Mo was hesitating between reporting and keeping silent, so Xu Xilu walked up to the carriage and said, "Since the little prince is already here, why don't you go in?"

"..."

"Could it be that the little prince is feeling timid near the hometown?"

"Near-native sentiments are not used in this way!" An annoyed voice in the carriage said, "Get out of here, my lord!"

Xu Xilu smiled secretly, got into the carriage and bent over to open the door. Seeing Song Yanqing sitting inside, he couldn't help being stunned, "Why is the little prince dressed in sky blue today?"

"What do you mean?" Song Yanqing narrowed her eyes slightly, "What is 'also'?"

Xu Xilu consciously made a slip of the tongue, and said: "It's okay, I remembered wrongly." Xie Qingsu and Song Yanqing, it can be said that Xu Xilu has seen the most beautiful people in the world, but they didn't expect to bump into each other today.The same color has completely different feelings on two people.Xie Qing and Su Qingjun were elegant, while Song Yanqing lost some of her domineering and unattainable feeling, like a glass of priceless night pearls placed in an elegant jade box, with an inexplicable meaning.The two have their own strengths and weaknesses, and it really makes people have to choose.

Wait, why did he choose?Xu Xilu was so amused by his inner thoughts that he heard Song Yanqing ask in a deep voice, "What's going on inside?"

"Brother went to pick up the bride, counting the time, he should be back." Xu Xilu said, "Why didn't the little prince come with me to watch the ceremony?"

Song Yanqing's eyes flickered slightly, pretending to be calm: "Of course, this king will be the last one to arrive."

Xu Xilu remained expressionless, "The little prince will be the last one to go in now."

Song Yanqing: "..."

Seeing this, Xu Xilu couldn't help but sarcastically said: "I thought the little prince had already broken up with my elder brother."

"Indeed."

"Then why is the prince still acting so pretentious and procrastinating?"

Song Yanqing said angrily, "I don't have any!"

"My lord, the love/love in this world is nothing more than a game." Xu Xilu smiled nonchalantly, "The one who understands the rules of the game is romantic; when the game is over, he thinks that love is deep and has no regrets." Yes, it's cheap."

Xu Xilu originally thought that Song Yanqing would be furious, but he just snorted coldly, "If anyone likes you with your views on love/love, I'm afraid it will be bad luck for eight lifetimes."

Xu Xilu shrugged, "It's all mutual, little lord. As long as people don't let me down, so will I. My elder brother, when he agreed to this marriage, he already betrayed you, lord."

"It's not that this king is afraid to see Xuanying." Song Yanqing said frankly, "I only have the friendship of classmates with him, don't get me wrong."

"Then what is the little prince waiting for?"

Song Yanqing's tone was a little slow: "Now that the dispute between Shen and Xie is about to start, although this king does not care about the affairs of the court, it is not good to show too much favor to any of them. The guests present today are all important ministers of the court. Entering Xu's mansion to hold a banquet for Xuanying, I'm afraid it will cause a lot of gossip. This king is thinking, and then go in while Xuanying and Lin's are paying homage. At that time, everyone's attention will be on them. would be too noticeable."

"So that's the case. Then I misunderstood the prince." Xu Xilu sincerely apologized to Song Yanqing. At this time, the sound of gongs and drums sounded again, which meant that the groom had taken the bride back to Xu's mansion, and the two would soon marry. "My lord, shall we go in now?"

Song Yanqing nodded condescendingly, "Let's go."

Xu Xilu brought Song Yanqing and Xuan Mo into the Xu mansion through the side door, and just entered the lobby when he heard the Chief of Rites yell: "Newcomers have arrived—"

The guests all looked towards the entrance of Xu's mansion, and Xu Xilu took the opportunity to take Song Yanqing to a relatively inconspicuous corner, "The little prince is wronged to watch the ceremony here."

This table is an extra table, no one is seated yet, Song Yanqing sat down, and said to Xuan Mo: "You can sit too."

Xuan Mo said frankly: "Subordinates dare not."

"Then you dare to disobey the king's order?"

"..." Xuan Mo, an honest man, was so bullied that he had no choice but to sit down beside Song Yanqian.

At this time, a wedding sedan chair was parked at the gate of the Xu Mansion, the curtain of the sedan chair was lifted, and Mrs. Lin, wearing a bead curtain on her head, stepped out of the sedan chair with the support of Xi Niang.Xu Xuanying stretched out a hand, Lin paused, and slowly put his hand into his palm.

Song Yanqing looked at the two of them from a distance, one was elegant and delicate, the other graceful and dignified, they were indeed a good couple.He couldn't tell what he felt, and it seemed like he didn't feel anything at all.

"Little prince," Xu Xilu tried to comfort him, "Don't worry, your future princess will definitely be more beautiful than Lin Shi...er, or more handsome than my elder brother."

This seemingly inconspicuous remark actually made Song Yanqing very useful, "Nonsense."

In the wedding hall, Xu Taihe and Mrs. Zhang sat in the upper seats.Xu Xuanying and Mrs. Lin held one end of the hydrangea ball, and under the congratulatory speech of the ceremony officer, they worshiped the heaven and the earth, the high hall, and finally bowed to each other.

"Licheng-"

After the ceremony, Mrs. Lin was sent to the new house, while Xu Xuanying stayed in the lobby, preparing to toast table by table.

Xu Xilu filled up the wine for Song Yanqing and himself, and said, "Come on, my lord, drink this cup, as the saying goes, getting drunk can relieve a thousand worries. In fact, the little lord likes my elder brother so much. As long as he is happy, you will be happy too, lord." no?"

Song Yanqing looked at him expressionlessly.

Xu Xilu continued to persuade: "Have a good drink, and then sleep well, and the prince will be a good man again when he wakes up. Xuan Mo, drink some, don't always keep a cold face, or you will not please the girl." like."

Xuan Mo: "..."

Song Yanqing looked down at her own reflection in Jiu Shang, as if she could see her mood clearly through the heavy cover.He picked up Jiushang, drank the wine in it, and said proudly, "Drink!"

Xuan Mo solemnly said: "My lord, this subordinate is too strong to drink, I'm afraid..." Before Xuan Mo could say anything, a glass of wine was handed to him.Prince Rui offered the wine himself, how dare he refuse?I had no choice but to bite the bullet.Unexpectedly, as soon as he drank the wine, his face turned into a liver color with lightning speed, "This subordinate really... can't handle the wine..." Before he could say anything, Xuan Mo closed his eyes and slowly Slowly fell on the wine table and fell asleep.

Xu Xilu didn't expect Xuan Mo, who seemed to be upright, to be half down, and he didn't forget to order someone to carry him to the guest room to rest.Xu Xilu and Song Yanqing were the only two left on the wine table. You had a drink and I had a drink. After a few reincarnations, they killed three large pots of Tianchunniang.Song Yanqing was five points drunk, and her eyes began to slack.Xu Xilu didn't feel anything, it seemed that this body was born with a good capacity for alcohol.

Xu Xuanying finished toasting a round of wine, and then noticed that there was another table in the corner, and there were only two people sitting beside it, one of them was her younger brother, and the other was——

"Little Prince?"

"En?" Song Yanqing looked up and saw the person coming, her expression remained the same, "Xuanying."

"Little Prince..." Xu Xuanying's eyes were full of mist, and he managed to maintain his composure, "Why are you here? My father and mother reserved a seat for you."

"No need, I'm fine here." Song Yanqing stood up, but staggered because of drunkenness, Xu Xuanying subconsciously stretched out her hand to help him, but unexpectedly, someone took the first step.

Song Yanqing turned his head and glanced at the people beside him, a thought inexplicably flashed in his mind - Xu Xilu's hands were cooler than he imagined.

A strange feeling flashed across Xu Xuanying's heart, he saw the empty wine jar, and asked in surprise, "Why did the prince drink so much?" Then he said to Xu Xilu, "The prince has been hot since he was a child, so he shouldn't drink too much."

Xu Xilu said with a half smile but not a smile: "Sure enough, elder brother understands the prince."

"My lord, please follow me to the chairman's seat. My parents have been waiting for you for a long time."

Song Yanqing looked at him fixedly, and said indifferently: "Xuanying, I came here to watch the ceremony because of the friendship between you and me, not because of Xu Shangshu. I believe you are very clear about this."

Xu Xuanying's face suddenly became hot.Mrs. Zhang really had the intention of clinging, after all, there were only a handful of families in Shangjing who could invite Prince Duan.She also asked herself yesterday to introduce Zhang's cousin to Song Yanqing.But now under Song Yanqing's distant gaze, he couldn't speak a single word.

"Today is your big day." Song Yanqing picked up the jug and filled the wine cup with wine, "I propose to you a glass, I wish you and Lin's daughter Qinse will live in harmony, grow old together, and be united forever."

"Yanqing..." Xu Xuanying looked at him fascinated.He knew that from the moment he decided to follow his parents' advice and marry Lin as his wife, for Song Yanqing, who couldn't tolerate sand in his eyes, the two of them would no longer be possible.

He thought he could accept it, he thought he could adapt to life without him.

But now his chest felt as if it was about to explode.

Xu Xilu reminded: "A moment in spring night is worth a thousand gold, brother, it's time for you to enter the bridal chamber."

Xu Xuanying woke up like a dream, he took a deep breath and said with a smile: "My lord, Xuanying is gone."

Song Yanqing nodded. He watched Xu Xuanying's back, as if he also saw him disappearing from his heart bit by bit, and finally completely.

The sky is getting dark, the wine will be gone, and the cups and plates are messed up.In the new house, there are festivities and candles in the bridal chamber, and the lights are on and off.At this moment, Tiangong finally made up his mind and sounded the first thunder of the day.

The guests left the table one after another, and the two brothers of the Xie family were also preparing to go home.Xie Qingshen drank a lot of wine today, and her whole body smelled of alcohol.Xie Qingsu also drank a few cups, her cheeks were slightly rosy, her lips were red, and her breath was a little hot.

"Qingsu, go back. What are you still looking at?"

Xie Qingsu looked away, "It's nothing."

"Oh..." Xie Qingxin muttered, "Help brother."

"Do not."

Xie Qingxin was taken aback, "Why?"

"I don't like the way you smell."

Xie Qingshen said aggrievedly: "If it was Xilu, would you still dislike it?"

Xie Qingsu heard a huge thunder, and his face turned even redder, "You... don't talk nonsense."

Xie Qingxin shook her head and sighed: "Sure enough, my brother is better off from someone else—"

Xie Qingsu didn't want to talk to him, turned his head and left, and heard a frivolous voice from a distance: "Where's your second young master?" Shen Zixian said drunkenly, "Let him... let him come out to see me!"

The servant who was caught by Shen Zixian was in disbelief: "Master Shen Qi, the second young master left the banquet early in the morning, and the younger one doesn't know where he went."

Xie Qingsu said displeased: "Shen Zixian seems to care a little bit about Mr. Xu."

Xie Qingxin smiled disdainfully, "Xilu has become such a handsome and coquettish look now, Shen Zixian has always been unafraid of men and women, isn't it normal to care?"

"...Ridiculous." If so, he would rather he was the same as before.

Inside the Tidal Pavilion, Xu Xilu and Jiudong walked in together holding Song Yanqing's arm.Unexpectedly, Song Yanqing looked slender, but still quite heavy. Jiudong was so tired that he was sweating profusely, panting: "Master, do you really want to bring the little prince back to our yard?"

"Well, he is a prince after all." If it was handed over to someone else, Xu Xilu would not be able to lose his head if something happened. "Go to my room."

The two worked together to get Song Yanqing to bed when it was raining heavily outside.Xing Nong closed the windows one by one, walked over and saw Song Yanqing, and said in surprise: "Wh-Which family is this young master? You are so noble."

Xu Xilu thumped his shoulder, and ordered: "Xing Nong, go to the kitchen and ask for a bowl of hangover soup."

"Yes, Second Master, this servant is going right now."

"Jiudong, you are guarding outside, no one can enter without my permission."

"All right, master."

Xu Xilu was about to turn around and take a sip of tea, but Song Yanqing, who was sleeping to death, suddenly opened his eyes, stretched out his hand suddenly, and grabbed his arm, "Xu..."

"Xilu," Xu Xilu hastily said in order not to stage any bloody drama of admitting the wrong person, "My lord, I'm Xu Xilu."

"Xilu...?" Song Yanqing frowned and tightened his hand, "Xilu."

"En," Xu Xilu hooked the corner of his mouth, "It's me."

Song Yanqing looked at him deeply, frowned and then loosened, and said in a raving voice: "Xi Lu, why do you always like to play tricks on me?"

Xu Xilu blinked, "Because the prince's appearance when he is angry is very interesting."

Song Yanqing smiled inexplicably, her well-defined lips raised a seductive arc under the flickering lights.His eyes were so clear that Xu Xilu couldn't tell whether he was really drunk or not. "Xilu, you are really...annoying..."

Xu Xilu burst out laughing, he tucked up the quilt for Song Yanqing, "Sleep, little prince."

"Xiaoyu, are you sure you read it right?" Xu Qingyang doubted, "Brother Qingsu really went to Chao Chao Pavilion?"

"Miss, this servant saw with my own eyes that the second master and Jiudong carried a young young master into the Chaochao Pavilion, and finally landed in the second young master's room. The sky was too dark and the servant could not see the young master's face clearly, but his clothes, the servant was What I remember is the azure color Mr. Xie is wearing today."

"When did the second brother have such a good relationship with Brother Qingsu?" Xu Qingyang said contemptuously, "I don't know that he used tricks to please Brother Qingsu. However, this is also good. Brother Qingsu will definitely ask the kitchen for a drink when he is drunk. Hangover soup, then we have a chance."

"Miss," Xiaoyu said anxiously, "Are we really going to do that? If the Master and Madam find out about this, they will definitely beat the slaves to death!"

Xu Qingyang said nonchalantly: "What are you afraid of? At that time, Miss Ben will be the daughter-in-law of the Xie family, so why not protect you?"

Xiaoyu almost cried, "Miss, is there no other way?"

"What can I do!" Xu Qingyang suddenly became angry for some reason, "They forced my aunt to death without telling me, and they also delayed my marriage again and again. Madam's words are nice, after I finish my elder brother's marriage I said dear. But which eye of yours saw her inquire for me? Now I understand that no one can be relied on except myself! Put it in your eyes. At that time, the entire Xu Mansion will have to bow to me."

"But even if things are done, Mr. Xie's family may not be willing!"

"No." Xu Qingyang said firmly, "An honest gentleman like Brother Qingsu will definitely take responsibility, not to mention that he himself is interested in me. At that time, as long as I say that I originally wanted to find the second brother, but I bumped into Brother Qingsu, and then he..." At this point, Xu Qingyang couldn't help but her ears turned red, she cleared her throat, and said, "Go to the kitchen quickly, and do as I tell you."

Xiaoyu dawdled: "Miss..."

"Go, or miss the opportunity, see how I deal with you!"

Xiaoyu pouted, "Yes, Miss."

In the Tidal Pavilion, Xu Xilu helped Song Yanqing, let him lie in his arms, and fed him hangover soup one mouthful at a time.Song Yanqing was dishonest in her sleep and turned her head to the side in dissatisfaction.Xu Xilu coaxed patiently: "My lord, drink the hangover soup, so that you won't have a headache after a hangover."

Song Yanqing seemed to have listened to Xu Xilu's words, and opened her mouth obediently, but it was a pity that she closed her lips tightly after drinking more than half of the bowl.Xu Xilu remembered that he also drank a lot of wine, although he was not drunk, but his liver still needs to be nourished.He drank the rest of the hangover soup, put Song Yanqing back on the bed, and said to Xing Nong: "You go out and watch over."

"Second Master has been tossing around for half the night, how about going to the side room to rest?"

"Alright," Xu Xilu said, "If the little prince wakes up, please come and report to me."

After the third watch, the Xu Mansion finally fell silent after a whole day of bustle and bustle.Jiu Dong and Xing Nong came to guard the door, the former was bored looking at the pouring rain in the yard, while the latter took advantage of the dim light to hold a pair of embroidered shoes.

"It's really lively in our house today." Jiudong said with a look of hope, "I don't know if our second young master's marriage will be so grand in the future."

Xing Nong said: "Probably not, our second young master is not Madam's own after all."

"Xing Nong!" Jiudong said angrily, "You have done something to offend the young master, and the young master asked you to come and serve him regardless of past suspicions, yet you are still speaking for outsiders!"

"I didn't." Xing Nong said helplessly, "I am very grateful that the young master can forgive me. But what I just said is also the truth."

"I don't care, anyway, you can't say that the young master is bad."

"How can I say that the young master is not good?"

The two were arguing, when suddenly there was a rapid knock on the door, which was mixed with human voices: "Help—come quickly—"

Jiu Dong and Xing Nong looked at each other, and quickly ran to open the door, "Isn't this Xiaoyu from Yin Yan Pavilion?" Xing Nong said, "Why did you come to our Chao Chao Pavilion?"

Xiaoyu looked panic-stricken, she didn't even open her umbrella, her whole body was completely soaked, she swallowed, and said: "Just now I saw someone fell into the pond ahead, hurry up and save him!"

Without even thinking about it, Jiudong called a few servants on duty and rushed outside.Xing Nong felt that something was wrong, but Jiu Dong was always straightforward, and she couldn't stop her.Seeing that she didn't move, Xiaoyu stepped forward and pulled her away, "Sister Xingnong, what are you doing blankly? Let's go!"

"It's fine for them to be men, what can I do as a woman?"

"There is always no harm in having a lot of people. Sister, let's go!"

"Then I'll go and talk to Second Master..."

"What are you talking about!" Xiaoyu said anxiously, "It's important to save people!"

Xing Nong was almost forcibly dragged out, she glanced back at the closed door, and comforted herself, but there shouldn't be any problem for a while.

The people who were waiting for Chao Chao Pavilion had almost left, Xu Qingyang stepped out from under a banyan tree.She looked around, ran to the door quickly, pushed the door open and walked in without hesitation.After closing the door, the surroundings were quiet, and Xu Qingyang could even hear his heart beating like a drum.

There must be no backing down, she told herself.She had to join the Gaomen in order to avenge her aunt and trample all those who looked down on her in the Xu family.Last time she accidentally learned that the Zhang family wanted to betroth her to an unworthy bastard of the Zhang family... Oh, dreaming!She would rather be Xie Qingsu's concubine than marry at a low price!

Now, she is only a few steps away from her brother Qingsu, and she is about to become his.

Brother Qingsu is lying behind the veil, she wants to get closer, and get closer...

"Get out."

"!!!" Impossible, everyone was transferred away by Xiaoyu, who else would be here?Xu Qingyang paused, held his breath, and turned his head in disbelief——

Xu Xilu stood behind her and looked at her coldly.

Xu Qingyang subconsciously took half a step back, her clothes were soaked in cold sweat, and she was still trying to tell lame lies. "Second brother, I... I heard that you are not feeling well, so I..."

"You don't need to explain." Xu Xilu's voice was very light, but it sounded like he was in the biting cold wind, "You know what good things you did. Get out, and don't make me say it a third time."

Xu Qingyang was so frightened that her legs went limp at this moment, she staggered a bit before stumbling out.

Xu Xilu let out a long breath, couldn't hold back any longer, his body went limp, and he fell to sit by the table.Just now, he was sleeping soundly, but he was suddenly awakened by a thunderclap, and found that he was sweating all over his body at some point, as if he had a high fever, his skin was extremely hot, and there seemed to be a fire burning in his body, and he couldn't even breathe out. The air is hot.

That's obviously not the way to react after a hangover.He ate and drank at the banquet today, and if something went wrong, he wouldn't be the only one, only the bowl of hangover soup that was brought from the kitchen later, he drank it, and Song Yanqing also drank it.Thinking of this, Xu Xilu struggled to get up, and called "Come here" several times, but no one answered.He couldn't feel any abnormality in his body anymore, so he walked out with strength, and saw that there was no one in the courtyard, alarm bells rang in his heart, and he hurriedly walked towards the bedroom, only then did he see the scene just now.
