Madame Song was very happy today. Many of the people present asked where she found the cook, but she didn't say anything.
After all, Fourth Madame was only a concubine. If she spread the news, she was afraid that it would bring her trouble.
Moreover, she could see that the girl was a very well-behaved person, so she didn't want to cause trouble for her.
Thus, she only said that the cook was a capable person invited by the temple, and kept her matter a secret.
However, she made up her mind that she had to do this favor in private. At the very least, she couldn't let the prince's estate find fault with her.
Look, even Prince had chased after her. It could be seen how much importance he attached to her.
The female guests didn't eat much. They were already full by the time half of the dishes were served.
However, they still sat. After all, the dishes hadn't been served yet. If they encountered a good dish, they could still eat a few mouthfuls.
Bai Xiangxiu only felt that these madams were eating cat food. They put down their chopsticks after each dish.
She was very hungry, but because these people didn't touch their chopsticks, she could only put them down.
No matter how hungry she was, she couldn't eat too much. Fortunately, she was already half full.
After eating and drinking to her heart's content, tea and pastries were served.
After drinking two mouthfuls of tea, Bai He came over again. She smiled at Bai Xiangxiu and said, "Little Sister Xiu … Madame Xiu, the Old Master is asking if it's convenient for you. He wants to see you alone."
The Great Master and the Old Master weren't people who interacted at the dining table, so it was normal for them to leave after eating.
She didn't expect to be asked to see them alone. She felt a bit embarrassed.
However, Bai He said, "Eldest Young Master and the Prince are waiting outside!"
She had already finished eating. Wasn't this a bit too fast?
Then she thought about it. Although this was a banquet, it was a vegetarian gathering.
Because they couldn't drink alcohol, it was normal for the male guests to eat faster.
Thus, she stood up and nodded to the madams at the same table. Then, Xiao Shi helped her out.
Long Heng frowned when he saw that she was still limping.
However, the Old Master couldn't be too arrogant. After all, he was an elder.
"Be careful supporting your master."
He had no choice but to say something to Xiao Shi before he led the way.
Song Jiaoyue naturally accompanied him. In fact, the Old Master did not allow Long Heng to go. Was there a need to be so worried?
Well, in fact, he was also worried.
The group of people walked together. Long Heng and Song Jiaoyue took the lead and walked in front, while the women followed behind.
Because they were not too far away, they could see Bai Xiangxiu's shadow in front of them. Her walking posture was very beautiful, swaying like a willow.
Song Jiaoyue smiled when he saw this. Long Heng said, "Old Master has a bad temper. Be careful when you answer."
"Grandfather is actually a good person." Song Jiaoyue was afraid that Bai Xiangxiu would be scared, so he quickly comforted her.
Bai Xiangxiu obediently responded. It was unknown whether she was responding to Long Heng or Song Jiaoyue.
In fact, she was not afraid. She had some experience in dealing with the elderly. Didn't she manage to coax the Old Madame into submission?
Most importantly, there were two men in front of her. One of them was her former 'crush'.
Obviously, the two of them had already broken up. However, this time, she could see that Song Jiaoyue was looking at her differently.
She thought that he might be taking care of her because he felt sorry. However, as time passed, she realized that was not the case.
He always unknowingly approached her slowly. It was as if everything was premeditated.
However, she felt that it was impossible because the two women by his side always came to her side.
If he wanted to, would he let those women come to see her?
Well, she admitted that she did not understand the thoughts of these ancient men.
As for the other one, although his back and manly style suited her taste, he was someone else's man. That person also had the halo of a female lead. No matter how she thought about it, she felt that he would never become her man.
The most important thing was that the part where he killed her in the book was really bloody.
Well, she admitted it again. In this ancient guest house, killing people was like playing around.
The more power one had, the more it was like this. Moreover, the male lead was a decisive general.
There was a lot of pressure facing them. If they walked in front like this, no matter which woman it was, their heart would be disturbed!
Bai Xiangxiu was an older girl who had never been in a relationship before. It would be strange if she did not think about it at this time!
When people think too much and their thoughts move too fast, they would always forget to pay attention to their feet.
Bai Xiangxiu was the type of person who worked seriously. She was single-minded and could not be distracted.
If she was distracted at this time, she would really fall.
People always had an instinct to protect themselves. In order to not flatten her nose, she inevitably wanted to find something to hug. Thus, she excitedly hugged the leg of the person in front of her.
There was no other way. Whose leg was easier to hug?
In the end, her face did not touch the ground. In fact, the moment she hugged the leg, her collar was pulled. When she woke up, she was already standing firmly on the ground.
However, falling down and being lifted up happened in an instant. How could Bai Xiangxiu, who came from a scholarly family, endure this?
She only felt her body go soft and her head become dizzy.
She quickly pressed down on her head with one hand and her body swayed on the ground.
It really was the supporting female lead's appearance and body. Was it really good to be this delicate?
Reality proved that no matter if it was the supporting female lead or the female lead, as long as you were liked, then everything was good.
A strong arm held her in the crook of his arm and a strong heartbeat immediately woke her up.
This familiar smell did not need to guess to know that it was Long Heng. Could it be that he had just lifted her up?
Obviously he was very rough, but now he was pretending to be a good person.
However, his embrace was indeed quite safe.
This supporting female lead's body was very petite. Being held in his embrace, she just happened to have her head resting on his chest.
This position was very ambiguous. Her face turned red as she suddenly raised her head and said in a muffled voice, "Thank you."
But thinking about it, that wasn't right. She had just been lifted up by Long Heng and was hugged by Long Heng. Then whose leg was she hugging before?
That leg was quite thick, it couldn't be … …
Bai Xiangxiu raised her head with a red face and saw the supporting male lead, Song Jiaoyue, standing in the wind with a frown on his face.
Damn, she had been rejected when she wanted to hug his leg, but now she had unexpectedly hugged it. Who could tell her how to react in this kind of situation?
The most important thing was the supporting male lead. Give her an expression. How was she supposed to apologize if he was so dumb?
"I'm sorry."
No matter what kind of expression he had, an apology was necessary.
At this time, Song Jiaoyue finally woke up from his shock and hurriedly said, "It's fine. Did you hurt yourself?"
"I'm fine." She wanted to cry, but no tears came out. Why did he have to bring up a sore spot?
She really wanted to slap herself.
Could a man's leg be touched so casually? Look at Long Heng's face, it was so dark.
Her heart was so stifled that she could not look straight at it. What should she do?
"Let's go!"
Long Heng's words brought Bai Xiangxiu out of the abyss. She almost thought that he would chop off her hands for hugging another man's leg. Luckily, her hands were still there.
However, her heart was very nervous.
