When the prince is reborn, he will only hit me if he doesn't hit the wall!

In fact, Xu Xinyue had already seen Xu Baiyu from a distance, and she could roughly guess from the direction she was coming from that she came from Xu Mingxi. She didn't want to meet her, but since they had come this far, it would seem like she was deliberately avoiding her. She knew in her heart that Xu Baiyu must dislike her because of the Mid-Autumn Festival banquet, but that was not her intention, and she was just forcing herself into it, so there was nothing wrong with her.

After a few moments of thought, she did not dodge or evade, but walked forward with a calm look.

When they were three steps apart, they exchanged polite greetings. Xu Xinyue was about to walk straight behind her when she suddenly heard Xu Baiyu pinching his throat and calling out in a high-pitched voice, "Third sister."

Xu Xinyue suddenly felt like a maggot was attached to her bones, her scalp was numb, she turned around and replied stiffly: "What can I do for you, big sister?"

"Excuse me, Third Sister. I can't say I'm giving you any advice, but I heard that you sprained your foot two days ago. I was so busy worrying about Second Sister that I neglected Third Sister. Please don't blame me if I don't say hello to you in the future."

The sun really rose from the north.

She and Xu Baiyu had never had any contact. A few years ago, she was stung by a bee while playing around, and her head was covered with bruises, but she never said a word to him. Now, a mere "sprained ankle" actually caused her such "concern".

She is not a fat chicken, but Xu Xinyue suddenly feels that Xu Baiyu has a sense of déjà vu of a "weasel".

He took a step back unconsciously, but still replied calmly: "Sister Lao, thank you for your concern. My foot is fine."

Xu Baiyu didn't seem to care about her reaction or her answer. She took a step forward and gently took Xu Xinyue's hand. She pretended to be intimate, with the attitude of an older sister caring for her younger sister, and smiled gently at Xu Xinyue:

"It was my elder sister's fault that my younger sister was injured. As a sister, I should take the initiative to care for her. I was just about to go see my younger sister when I happened to run into her."

Xu Xinyue listened to her nonsense without saying anything, just waited quietly for her next words.

Xu Baiyu took out a small kiln powder box from his purse.

The whole body is white glaze with a faint green hue. The lid of the box has a delicate pattern inlaid with mother-of-pearl fragments, a rice-grain pearl is used as an embellishment in the middle of the flower, and the edge of the box is decorated with exquisite leaf patterns with silver wire enamel. It is very beautiful under the sunlight.

Although I don't know what the contents are, the value of the things inside are obvious to be worthy of such a shell.

"This rouge is a new product out there, it's very popular and hard to buy. I originally planned to give one to my second sister and one to you. I just happened to run into you, so I'll give it to you as a greeting gift. The color is very beautiful, and it can be used daily to protect your skin and beauty!

My sister can be of use. She will surely be dazzling and outshine all the other beauties at the Mid-Autumn Festival banquet.

Although it is a little late, my sister's intentions are genuine. You must accept my kindness."

Xu Baiyu pretended to be generous, but sneered in his heart:

"I only have one portion of this good stuff. If it weren't for the Mid-Autumn Festival banquet, I wouldn't be willing to waste such a good thing.

What a pity! I originally wanted to send it to that idiot Xu Mingxi.

But... now that I think about it, this third sister who has no parents and is not loved by her grandmother is more suitable...

If something goes wrong, I'm afraid I'll have nowhere to complain and be isolated and helpless.

Humph, you got it cheap.

Although her heart was in pain, she still had a smile on her face, as if what she gave was just a toy that could be found anywhere among the street vendors. She stuffed it into Xu Xinyue's palm.

Xu Xinyue pretended to pick up the box and examined it carefully, as if she couldn't let it go. Her eyes were full of joy, and she thanked Xu Baiyu with gratitude: "Thank you, sister. I like it very much. Thank you for the money, sister."

Seeing that she didn't even bother to refuse politely, Xu Baiyu mocked her in his heart: "You are just a short-sighted person. If you were not short-sighted, how could I have succeeded?"

"As long as my sister likes it, I will go back first."

After Xu Baiyu walked away, Xu Mingxi stopped smiling, opened the box of rouge expressionlessly, and after a moment, closed the lid and handed it to Xiao Chan behind him.

"My sister's kindness, please accept it."

Continue walking towards Chaohuiyuan.

Hearing the noise outside the courtyard gate, Jin'er thought it was Xu Baiyu coming back, and couldn't help but mutter to herself: Why is this young lady so difficult to deal with!

When he opened the gate and was about to persuade them to leave, he looked closely and found that it was Miss Xu San: Xu Xinyue.

Because Xu Mingxi closed the door to Xu Baiyu today in order to refuse visitors, but did not tell him what to do if other young ladies came, he bowed respectfully and said to Xu Xinyue, "Miss Third, wait a moment. I will go and inform my young lady."

Xu Xinyue raised her eyebrows. She was not surprised that she would react like this. When she saw Xu Baiyu's angry face, she knew that they might have had an unpleasant quarrel. She was probably guarding against her. She nodded slightly and waited quietly outside the courtyard gate.

"Miss, the third young lady is here and is waiting outside the courtyard gate. Do you want to see her?"

"Miss Third? Please come in, please prepare some refreshments." Xu Mingxi changed his dejected expression and asked Jin'er to go and greet the guests and Yin'er to prepare tea and fruits.

Her third sister was no simple person. In her previous life, she had never had a close relationship with her because they were from separate families. Later, this third sister took over all of her father's businesses, and opened more and more businesses throughout Beixuan, and even had the tendency to extend to Nanyuan Kingdom.

Although merchants are ranked last among the four classes of scholars, farmers, merchants and artisans, such a capable and strong girl will be a great help wherever she goes.

Although the reviews were mixed, many young men still flocked to her.

But you have to curry favor with her, hug her thighs, and then build a raft for Ah She... As daughters of the Xu family, of course she has to be close to the water and get the moon first.

While she was thinking, Xu Xinyue had already walked into the small hall and greeted politely, "Second sister, how are you these days..." Before she finished speaking, Xu Mingxi pulled her to the Huanghuali carved magpie-mounted Arhat couch by the window. It was covered with soft cushions and a small table with a variety of snacks and fruits. Xu Mingxi handed her a bright yellow Anluo fruit and said, "Try it. This is a fruit from another land. It's not easy to taste. It tastes as sweet as it smells."

It’s not that Xu Xinyue is belittling herself, but recently, everyone has suddenly become so “passionate” towards her, and she feels a little uneasy.

Although she was not flattered, she knew that showing kindness without any reason was either a traitor or a thief. She was probably aware of Xu Baiyu's enthusiasm and plot, but what was the reason for Xu Mingxi's sudden show of kindness?

No, it wasn't sudden. Ever since she woke up from the accident, he suddenly became warm to her. And last time at the Mid-Autumn Festival banquet, and now he is like this again... What is the reason? I really can't figure it out.

"Look at me, I forgot that the skin of this fruit is really hard to peel. It's not very pretty to have your hands full of juice. Jin'er, peel and cut this amla fruit and bring it to me."

"And this milk tea, which has milk and sugar in it, tastes wonderful with the fruit."

Seeing Xu Mingxi recommending her to eat this and drink that, with a clear and sincere look, Xu Xinyue sighed: Never mind, let's see what her purpose is, it doesn't look like she has any bad intentions. Maybe she is really making friends with her, so she should not judge others by her own standards.

Thinking of this, Xu Xinyue gently agreed to her request, and she carefully tasted everything she recommended to give her feedback.

Xu Xianyue knows medicine, but few people in this mansion know it except her personal maid. She is not afraid of tampering with the food.

After the greetings, Xu Xinyue did not forget the purpose of her visit today. When Xu Mingxi casually handed over a piece of cake again, she pretended to casually mention: "I have been wanting to ask you what kind of perfumed powder you are wearing. It smells very sweet. These fruity scents are so strong that they can't cover up your fragrance."

After saying that, he closed his eyes and sniffed a few times as if intoxicated.

Xu Mingxi was trying to get close to her, just treating it as a boudoir topic to exchange information. He raised his sleeve and sniffed lightly: "Really? I don't think it smells very good..."

"There is a saying that goes, 'If you enter a room full of orchids, you will no longer smell their fragrance.' I think this is the case with my sister. I'm afraid she has been 'pickled' into her."

The timely teasing made Xu Mingxi even more unprepared. She didn't realize it was a test at all, and laughed: "Is that so? If you like it, I still have a lot of this incense, so it's not a bad idea to give it to you as a gift."

"It's not good to take away someone's favorite, but can you lend it to me to have a look? I'll see which shop it is from and I'll go look for other models when I have a chance."

"What's the harm?" Xu Mingxi ordered Jin'er to bring the incense box and hand it to Xu Xinyue.
