After the mistress of the Marquis' Mansion was reborn, she divorced and married the prince!

"This red jade is bright in color and exquisitely carved. It's perfect for a young girl." Princess Cheng said disdainfully, "If you give her the Dongzhu, she may not know its value. Isn't that a waste of natural resources?"

Xu Songyi curled his lips, still looking down on the things in the box.

But since the elder sister said so, she must have her reasons.

He really didn't understand what girls liked...Anyway, the girls in the building would only pick expensive things when they liked something.

If he could get that Dongzhu Butterfly Hairpin, he would give it to the most popular courtesan. Maybe he could even become her lover!

Xu Songyi thought of this and became happy again, "Okay, I'll listen to you, big sister."

He snapped the lid shut and put it in his arms.

"Big sister, please send someone to help me keep an eye on her. Guiyuan is so big, it's not easy for me to 'run into' her by chance."

"And the Princess Jing, can you lead her away?"

Princess Cheng nodded and said, "I'll take care of these, you just do your job."

The brother and sister acted separately.

Song Mingli did have other things to do and it was impossible for him to stay with Zhao Yezhen all the time.

"It's okay, sister, go and do your own thing. I'll go look for my second sister-in-law. Don't worry, I won't run around." Zhao Yezhen smiled obediently.

Song Mingli nodded and left.

She asked Molan to go find the third young lady of the Xu family early in the morning to see if she had arrived.

Molan did see her coming and the message was delivered, but the third lady of the Xu family had not come to see her yet.

Song Mingli had to go and see what was going on with Xu Chunlan.

Last time at the Mid-Autumn Festival banquet, she plotted against her second brother, and they still have some accounts to settle!

If Princess Cheng hadn't come to provoke Zhao Yezhen today... Last time, she listened to her eldest brother's advice and decided to let it go.

But Princess Cheng actually wants to steal the second brother's girl... It seems she has too much free time.

She had to find something for Princess Cheng to do.

……

Not long after Song Mingli left, Princess Cheng took the opportunity to be alone with Zhao Yezhen.

Zhao Yezhen was not alone, at least she had a maid named Luzhu by her side.

This maid was assigned to her after being carefully selected by the Duke's wife.

The maids were well-trained, and Princess Cheng sent two groups of people to try to get Lu Zhu away.

Luzhu insisted on staying by her own lady's side and never left her side.

Princess Cheng had no other choice but to ask Xu Songyi to present the gift in front of the maid.

Xu Songyi blocked Zhao Yezhen on the corridor. There was no one around, so Xu Songyi cleared his throat.

"Thank you, Miss Zhao!" Xu Songyi bowed and threw the hairband behind him in a self-proclaimed romantic manner.

Zhao Yezhen nodded, without looking at him directly, and planned to walk past him from the right.

Unexpectedly, Xu Songyi also took a step to the right, blocking her way again.

Zhao Yezhen went left again.

Xu Songyi also went left.

"Ms. Zhao, Xu has a few words to say to you alone." Xu Songyi said in a low voice.

The girls in the building always say that his voice is very nice, especially when he speaks in a low voice.

Xu Songyi was full of confidence and glanced at Zhao Yezhen.

But Zhao Yezhen took a step back with a frown on his face.

"My young lady is not familiar with Mr. Xu, so there is nothing to say. Mr. Xu, please respect yourself." Luzhu stepped forward, blocked her young lady behind her, and said sternly.

Xu Songyi didn't expect this kind of reaction from the master and servant.

He was slightly startled, "No, don't get me wrong, I don't mean anything else."

Xu Songyi quickly took out the rosewood box from his arms.

"This is for Miss Zhao, please accept it." Xu Songyi's eyes were gentle and affectionate. "Miss Zhao may not be familiar with me, but I have admired Miss Zhao for a long time."

"It's just that I have no chance to meet you. I came to this garden party especially for Miss Zhao."

Zhao Yezhen frowned even more tightly when he heard this.

She lifted her skirt and glanced back.

This is the first time she has come to Guiyuan and she doesn’t even know the road. If she runs backwards, can she get away?

"My young lady doesn't know you! There is no way she will accept this gift! Mr. Xu, please keep it." Lu Zhu refused sternly.

Xu Songyi quickly opened the gift box. "This gift was specially chosen by me for Miss Zhao. The color is playful and lively, just right for Miss Zhao's age..."

Xu Songyi seemed to see that Zhao Yezhen was planning to run away.

He took a quick step, walked around the maid, and reached out to grab Zhao Yezhen's arm.

Zhao Yezhen was shocked... She thought the young men and women in Kyoto were all polite.

I didn't expect that even at a garden party like this, one could be so unrestrained?

She didn't dare to hesitate any longer and ran away!

Unexpectedly, before I had taken two steps, I bumped into a soft embrace.

"Ouch!" Zhao Yezhen was hit so hard that she almost fell down.

The person opposite her held her.

"I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm not..."

"Why are you running so fast? Don't you even look at the road?" A gentle voice came from above my head.

Zhao Yezhen looked up and saw that she met her relatives!

She immediately cried out of grievance, "Second sister-in-law! I'm scared!"

Zhao Yezhen's second sister-in-law, Lin, hurriedly protected her sister-in-law and looked at Xu Songyi in front of her.

Facing Xu Songyi, she put away her gentleness and turned on her aura, "Master Xu, what are you doing? Where do you think this is?"

"No... Madam Second Young Master, please don't misunderstand." Xu Songyi looked embarrassed.

He didn't expect that the wife of the second young master of the Zhao family would suddenly appear.

Didn’t elder sister say that everything has been arranged?

You can’t blame yourself for this failure!

"I have admired Miss Zhao for a long time, so I specially found this gift and wanted to give it to Miss Zhao!" Xu Songyi said stiffly.

Lin glanced at the contents of his box and sneered disdainfully, "You want to ruin my sister-in-law's reputation, but you can't use such a crude method and such a cheap thing, right?"

"I'll give you one more chance to speak again! What are you doing here?"

Xu Songyi's face turned red, and after thinking for a moment, he made up his mind.

"I sincerely admire Miss Zhao, please help me, Madam Second Young Master..."

Lin's eyes turned cold, "Someone come! Hit me!"

"I saw that you were the young master of the Xu family, so I gave you some face! I didn't expect that you were shameless and willing to be a pervert! You even want to ruin the reputation of my sister-in-law!"

"Hit me hard!"

Lin brought two maids with her.

The maid didn't dare to do anything, but the nanny was not a pushover.

The two maids rolled up their sleeves, stepped forward, grabbed Xu Songyi, and slapped him twice.

"You!" Xu Songyi didn't expect that they would actually dare to take action.

"Oh, what?" Lin looked at him sneerfully, "I'm going to beat you today! Go and file a complaint! It would be best if you file it in front of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince!"

Xu Songyi covered his face, stared at Lin, and then glanced at Zhao Yezhen.

"My sister-in-law lives in seclusion and doesn't even recognize you! You come here and want to give us the reputation of 'private communication'?"

"You say you admire me? You dare to say you admire me for just a cheap red jade hairpin? How dare you come up with such a thing? Does my family need this junky thing of yours?"

"Look at the hairpin my maid is wearing. It is a hundred times better than the one in your hand in terms of texture, color and workmanship! You shameless scoundrel! Get out!"
