Song Jiaoyue was a strange man. He liked the white lotus but didn't want her to be a bun.
But how was she supposed to perform? She kept a low profile as she walked at the back.
The wound on her chest didn't hurt as much. Maybe it was because she could move.
Few people talked to her along the way. Although the Song family's Old Madame and several ladies didn't look down on her, they didn't try to win her over or get close to her.
Since she came here, she realized that a concubine really didn't have any status.
Although it wasn't as casual as what was written in the book, the status of a concubine was no less than that.
Bai Xiangxiu didn't mind at all. She silently admired the scenery and listened to the young ladies of the Song family reciting poems and poems. There were even some who sang songs.
There was a Buddha's Foot Pavilion in front of her. There was a big footprint in the middle, which was said to be left by Buddha.
She heard these stories from the front. Because the stories were good, she sat on the side and listened very carefully.
Long Heng and Song Jiaoyue were men, so they didn't participate in their conversation.
They talked and walked for a long time. Long Heng couldn't help but look back at the woman. He saw that she was listening to their stories with her head tilted. She looked a little cute.
"It's rare to see a quiet one. She's to your liking. No wonder you brought her here." Song Jiaoyue took something to feed the fish in the pond. They jumped up and fought fiercely for food.
Long Heng didn't say anything, but Song Jiaoyue said, "How do you plan to deal with Miss Lin?
You can't catch her in the act because that cousin is back. "
He didn't expect that Miss Lin didn't elope but ran away by herself. That cousin was just helping her.
Her own brother didn't help her, but she asked her cousin for help. Obviously, their relationship was different from others.
Obviously, she helped her cousin but ran away by herself and asked her cousin to come back. It seemed that this Miss Lin didn't have any feelings for her cousin.
"You're back?" Crack, that originally extremely sturdy wooden carving was crushed with a single hand, and the corners of his mouth curled up in a cold smile.
How dare he come back after injuring his men? He really had guts.
"This is something from Longhua Temple. Restrain yourself a little.
Otherwise, it's your fault if you scare the beauty. "Song Jiaoyue rarely had the chance to tease his friend, so he didn't intend to let it go easily.
Long Heng was stunned by her words. He turned around and looked at the woman who was still listening to the story. Was she really that bold? Did he really need to restrain himself?
The women on the battlefield did not leave a good impression on him. Moreover, the women he had been in contact with since he was a child were all extremely scheming, and their fighting strength was definitely not inferior to any man.
His mother alone had suppressed many concubines since he was young. What had she not done?
Therefore, since he was born, the women in his heart were all pitiful on the outside but insidious creatures on the inside. They didn't need the protection of men, or they were even stronger than men.
But this Miss Bai had changed his mind. He felt that she was just a little white rabbit that always liked to cower and hide in the side. She was pitifully timid and weak.
She was like a jade person that would turn to ashes if he wasn't careful.
"Enemies meet on a narrow road." Song Jiaoyue smiled faintly, and pointed his chin at a group of people not far away who were slowly walking over.
Long Heng turned around and found that it was actually people from the Lin family.
He had already investigated Miss Lin's matter very clearly. As for why Madam Lin hadn't left, it was because she wanted to find her daughter's whereabouts.
But looking at her, he knew that she definitely hadn't found her, so she ran here to relax.
"Hm?"
Long Heng only made a sound of acknowledgment, and then turned his head to continue watching the fish, as if he didn't notice the arrival of his future mother-in-law.
In reality, Madam Lin didn't think that there would be so many people gathered here, especially when Li Of Gojoseon was also here.
But it was too late to think about it. This kind of deliberate avoidance would definitely make the other suspicious.
She definitely couldn't let Long Heng see anything, otherwise her daughter's reputation would be completely ruined.
"So it's Prince and Prince Song." She smiled and bowed to the two, and the other side returned the greeting.
It seemed that they still didn't know. She turned around to see Madam Song.
They were both madams of official families, so the two were very friendly when they met. Seeing this, Bai Xiangxiu's mouth twitched. It really was the same kind of people looking for the same kind. A commoner like her could only sit on the side and grow old alone.
But this was also good. That place really wasn't suitable for her, because not only was she afraid of pain, she was also afraid of death.
She was trying her best to minimize her presence. Just as she was about to drink a mouthful of hot tea, she heard Madam Lin's lukewarm voice say, "Isn't this Li Manor's Madam Bai? So you're here too."
Pu!
Suddenly being called out, Bai Xiangxiu spat out a mouthful of hot tea. Then she began to violently cough, coughing until tears came out.
She used a handkerchief to wipe them. While coughing, she gave a half bow and said, "Greetings to Madam Lin."
The coughing hurt the wound on her chest, so she quickly used her hand to sit down.
But her appearance was very rude in Madam Lin's eyes. Not only did she speak to her while coughing, she also sat down before she finished speaking. It was clear that she was ignoring her.
Thinking about it, she couldn't help but laugh and say, "I heard that Miss Bai came from a scholarly family, so it's normal for you to be a bit timid. It was my fault just now, I shouldn't have scared you like that." On the surface, it sounded like she was thinking for her, but in reality, she was mocking her for not being presentable.
Bai Xiangxiu was stunned. Was she being bullied?
She unconsciously turned her head to look at the supporting male lead, but she found that they were all looking in her direction.
Bai Xiangxiu quickly looked away and forced a smile as she said, "It's nothing, Madam Lin is worrying too much." Don't mind her, her temper really wasn't that good.
In front of the supporting male lead, she didn't want to act like a white lotus.
But Madam Lin didn't seem to want to let her go. When she heard Madam Song praise her daughter, she said, "That's right, that girl is too soft hearted. I'm just afraid that she will be bullied after she marries over." She said this with a sigh.
Bai Xiangxiu was speechless. She didn't want to bully her daughter. It was already good enough that she wasn't bullied by the female lead.
How could Madam Song not know what she meant? She frowned in her heart. What was wrong with this Madam Lin today? For a concubine, she was using her as a tool?
Her son and Li Of Gojoseon were friends, so they didn't want to become enemies with Li Of Gojoseon.
Although that girl was only a concubine, if Li Of Gojoseon didn't like her, why would he bring her out?
Although she didn't want to be friends with her, she also didn't want to offend her. She smiled and said, "Kindness is not bad."
Madam Lin saw that she didn't take the bait and continued, "Ai, it's a pity that men like that kind of seductive woman." She paused for a moment before saying, "But no matter how seductive she is, she can't surpass the main wife. Isn't that right, Madam Song?"
Madam Song's eyes couldn't help but twitch. Do you need to be like this?
Although Li Of Gojoseon and the others are far away and can't hear, you're being so aggressive. Aren't you afraid that he won't dare marry your daughter?
