632 Suddenly Had a Plan
Tu Lihuan and the others were verbally attacked by Xi Rui and it was not appropriate to stay for a meal anymore; they couldn’t afford to lose face.
Tu Lihuan was still trying hard to maintain his composure. ” Young Master Xi, Miss Xiao, we still have something to do, so we’ll leave first. ”
Tu Yujiao felt the gazes of the lowlifes sitting around her, and she felt extremely disgusted.
However, she knew that she could not get angry. She still had to maintain the self-restraint of a young lady from an aristocratic family.
Most importantly, she was afraid that Xiao Baili would say bad things about her to King Yi when she returned.
Hence, she forced a smile and said, “Miss Xiao, I just wanted to be friends with you before, so I didn’t pay attention to how I addressed you which led to a misunderstanding. I’m sorry.”
She would remember this debt. After Xiao Baili married her brother, she would decide how to deal with her.
Xiao Baili could not tell that Tu Yujiao was two-faced.
“It’s fine,” she said lightly, “just be careful not to claim a family relationship inappropriately in the future.”
Tu Yujiao choked. ” Then you guys have your meal. We’ll be leaving first.”
They couldn’t continue chatting that day.
Xiao Baili nodded. “Goodbye! ”
Xi Rui glanced at them arrogantly and ignored them. He picked up a piece of radish with his chopsticks and put it in Xiao Baili’s bowl.
“Baili, let’s not stoop to the level of these vulgar people. Come and taste this radish.”
Xiao Baili smiled sweetly. “Thank you, Brother Rui. Let me try it.”
Then Xi Rui added another piece for Erlang, and the three of them began to eat vegetarian dishes, ignoring Tu Yujiao and the others.
Tu Yujiao and the others were speechless. Don’t know who’s the vulgar ones here, but this dandy is too much.
Tu Yujiao and the other young lady were still feeling very upset, and they could not help but feel jealous.
This Xi Rui didn’t even care about these noble young ladies, but he was so nice to a village girl. Was he blind?
Xiao Baili, this country bumpkin, really didn’t know shame. She actually ate the food that an outsider picked up.
Tu Yujiao thought that when Xiao Baili married into their family, she would ask her mother and brother to keep a close watch on her. She must not let this woman go out. Otherwise, it would be too embarrassing if she hooked up with other men.
Tu Lihuan also felt disgusted by the way she addressed him. ‘Brother Rui? How shameless!’
After he married her, she would teach her a lesson.
Xiao Baili didn’t know what the siblings were thinking. Otherwise, she probably wouldn’t have been able to resist the urge to whip them.
Tu Lihuan naturally couldn’t stay any longer, so he left.
The few of them were already full from anger just now, so they had no appetite now.
After they came out, Tu Yujiao led her men to look for the young lady who had ran out crying.
Tu Lihuan led the others to a pavilion.
The faces of the young masters from the aristocratic families were all dark. It was obvious that they felt terrible after being scolded by Xi Rui.
Tu Lihuan could only pretend to be magnanimous and comfort them.
Tu Yujiao found her good friend in another pavilion and comforted her as well.
As she comforted her, she also incited her with clever words.
Not only did this woman hate Xi Rui more and more, but she also hated Xiao Baili.
Tu Yujiao and Tu Lihuan didn’t leave since they hadn’t achieved their goal. They still sent people to keep an eye on Xiao Baili.
After Xiao Baili and the other two finished their vegetarian meal, Xi Rui asked his followers to pack the rest of the vegetables to bring back.
Xiao Baili smiled and suggested, “There is a fish pond in the backyard of this temple. Shall we take a look?”
“Sure, I want to feed the fish too,” said Xiao Erlang with a smile.
Xi Rui naturally wouldn’t object. “Let’s go and take a look.”
The three of them went to the pond in the backyard. At this time, there were many people standing by the pond.
A small merchant had set up a stall selling fish food near the pond for pilgrims to buy and feed the fish.
Xi Rui asked his servant to buy some.
Paper was expensive now, so the fish food was wrapped with lotus leaves.
Xi Rui handed a piece to Xiao Baili. “Feed them for the fun of it.”
“Thank you, Brother Rui.” Xiao Baili took it and smiled.
Because Xi Rui and the others were close to Xiao Hanzheng and Shi Qingluo, Xiao Baili called them Brother Rui, Brother Xiao, Brother Zhe and Sister Rongrong.
Xi Rui didn’t think much of this before, but ever since his family wanted him to marry Xiao Baili, he had been paying attention to her since he returned to the Northern Borderline.
After that, he had some thoughts. Now, every time Xiao Baili called him “Brother Rui”, he would feel as sweet as honey.
Then, he accompanied Xiao Baili and her brother to feed the fish.
On the other side, Tu Lihuan and Tu Yujiao were listening to the servant boy and servant girl report Xiao Baili’s movements.
Their eyes lit up. Their chance had arrived.
They knew that the temple’s fish pond in the backyard was very famous. If nothing unusual happened, Xiao Baili would probably go and feed the fish.
Therefore, they had already devised a plan.
However, they had originally arranged for a passerby to accidentally push Xiao Baili into the water.
Tu Lihuan would immediately jump in to save her.
He would save Xiao Baili from the pool in front of so many people and even had physical contact with her. If Xiao Baili didn’t want to get married, she had no choice but to do so. Otherwise, her reputation would be ruined.
However, that person was no longer needed. After all, there was a better candidate.
So Tu Lihuan asked the young masters to go and look at the fish.
Tu Yujiao also coaxed the young lady and suggested going to feed the fish to relax.
The others did not think too much about it and followed.
Then, he saw Xiao Baili standing by the pond, feeding the fish. She was looking down at the fish in the pond with a gentle smile on her face, giving off a warm and beautiful feeling.
Tu Yujiao stood not far away and whispered in surprise, “I didn’t expect Miss Xiao and the others to be feeding the fish too.”
Then, she looked at her two friends with a troubled expression. “Maybe we shouldn’t feed the fish anymore huh?”
She wanted to take the initiative to back down but had aroused the temper of the other two people who wanted to compete instead.
“Why shouldn’t we feed them? This fish pond doesn’t belong to Xiao Baili’s family. ”
The woman who had ran away crying earlier also said, “That’s right. Let’s go. If she can feed the fish, we can too.”
Then, she pulled Tu Yujiao over and told her not to be afraid of a village girl.
Both of them felt that Xiao Baili was going too far. If they gave in, wouldn’t they be inferior to that village girl?
So they went over to buy fish food and deliberately walked to Xiao Baili’s side to feed her.
Xiao Baili didn’t greet them when she saw them. Instead, she lowered her head and continued to feed the fish.
The three of them were even angrier when they were ignored like this.
Tu Yujiao sneered in her heart. Let’s see if Xiao Baili could still remain so calm later.
Soon, Tu Lihuan and the others arrived.
The few of them did not buy fish food. They felt that this was a young girl’s activity. They merely walked to the fish pond to look at the fish.
Tu Yujiao waited for her brother to come over and deliberately squeezed her close friend beside her.
This young lady was the one who had ran away crying after being scolded by Xi Rui.
She was given a push and almost fell into the fish pond, but Tu Yujiao pulled her back in time.
Tu Yujiao looked embarrassed. “I’m sorry. I lost my balance just now and almost caused you to fall.”
The lady was pulled back and did not fall down, so she was naturally not angry. She smiled and said, “It’s fine.”
Then, she continued to feed the fish. Looking at Xiao Baili’s reflection in the water, she suddenly had an idea.
