Chapter 692 Chapter 692
The arrival of the Dongjun delegation made Liu Zhuang and the Fifth Princess feel anxious. In addition, seeing the loving relationship between the Fourth Master Pei and his wife that day, Liu Zhuang was filled with sorrow and did not sleep well that night.
Huang Zhi was also tossing and turning.
Ever since he met Xu Lingbai and his sister, the guilt that he had suppressed with great difficulty began to rise again.
Huang Zhi has an unattainable dream in his heart, but facing Xu Lingqiao, his past cultivation does not allow him to retreat again and again.
After tossing and turning all night, he thought over and over again and decided to get up and leave the house before dawn.
Even his personal servants and guards were not disturbed. However, the doorman saw him going out before dawn and said something to him. Huang Zhi only mentioned that he wanted to see his classmate off.
In fact, he rode his horse towards the inn where Xu Lingbai and his sister were staying.
When they arrived at the inn, the sky was just beginning to break dawn, as if covered with a layer of gauze. Huang Zhi came up to it and tried to muster up his courage several times, but he did not dare to go in.
When it was daybreak, Xu Lingqiao's maid happily ran to the yard to pick a winter magnolia.
Huang Zhi immediately stepped forward and called out to the little maid.
"Xi Le, come here."
If Huang Zhi wasn't of tall stature and handsome appearance, he would have looked like a thug who was raping beggars when he spoke in such a stealthy and low voice.
Fortunately, Xile had met Huang Zhi yesterday, so he was not a stranger to her.
Knowing that it was Sanlang of the Huang family who had been to the mansion before, he ran up to him, holding the magnolia that he had just asked the waiter to pick.
"My humble servant has met the Third Young Master."
His manners and etiquette were quite proper, and it was obvious that Xu Lingqiao had taught him well.
He looked up at the inn, and there was no one there at the moment, so he asked in a low voice, "Xile, have your husband and daughter woken up yet?"
Xile glanced back and said, "The eldest master is still resting. I heard from Brother Linxi that he had breakfast in the morning before setting off on his journey."
"So your girl is awake?"
Xile nodded.
"The girl didn't sleep well after the change of place, so she got up early. I saw that the winter magnolia in the yard was in full bloom, and the color was also pink, so I came down to ask the second brother to pick one and put it on my girl's hairpin."
Huang Zhi's heart was moved. "I have something important to tell your young master. Since he has not woken up, can you ask your young lady to have a brief chat? This is related to Brother Xu's future and cannot be delayed."
Xile didn't understand big things, but when she heard about the young master's future, she thought about the young man from the Huang family, who had a wealthy family background and extraordinary vision, so she didn't doubt it.
"In that case, let me go and invite you, young master."
Huang Zhi hurriedly stopped him when he heard that he was going to alarm Xu Lingbai. "Mr. Xu also said he was tired yesterday. Actually, I told him roughly yesterday, but when I woke up this morning, I realized that I had missed some things. Why don't you ask your cousin to come over and I will briefly tell him, so that I can rest assured."
When Xile heard this, it made sense.
Huang Zhi called the waiter and asked him about it. The waiter pointed to the second floor and said, "Sir, you can go to the tea room with me and sit for a while. The scenery there is pleasant and no one is here at this time. It's cheap to have tea and talk."
"Very good, Xile, please invite my cousin to that place."
Xile knew that there was a teahouse on the second floor, which was a good place to talk, so he nodded and said, "Please wait a moment, Third Master. I will go and tell the young lady."
Xu Lingqiao lived in the backyard on the first floor, and Lianhua was helping her with her makeup.
The make-up was almost the same, except for the magnolia flower. "Did Xile climb the tree to pick it herself? Why hasn't she come back yet?"
Xu Lingqiao had not slept well the previous night, and now she was trying hard to suppress the fatigue around her eyes with lead powder.
"It's okay. Brother Linxi said it will take a while, so there's no rush."
As soon as he finished speaking, hurried footsteps were heard, and Xile's little figure pushed the door open and walked in, panting and speaking incoherently.
Lotus walked over, raised her arm high and gently touched him, "Miss, I've taught you so many times to walk steadily and speak softly, but you're so reckless that you just can't remember it in your little head."
Xile stuck out his puppy tongue and knelt down to apologize.
"Good sister, it's urgent, so I rushed back."
After saying that, he walked towards Xu Lingqiao. His steps were very dignified, but as soon as he got in front of the girl, he became anxious, "Cousin, Huang's third son said he wants to talk to you about our young master's future. Please go to the teahouse."
As soon as he finished speaking, Xu Lingqiao's expression changed suddenly.
"Which Huang family's third son?"
Xile pointed outside and said, "It was the young master from the Huang family whom I met on the road yesterday. He also went to the mansion. Although I am young, I remember it clearly."
Xile was not feeling well yesterday and did not stay with Xu Lingqiao during the day. But in the evening, Xile woke up and went out again, and only then did she see Huang Zhi and Mu Yunzhi.
When they came back in the evening, Xile asked Xier. They were of similar age, and two teenagers together could explain everything clearly.
When Xile mentioned this, Xu Lingqiao began to feel flustered.
Huang Zhi?!
"What is he here for?"
Xile swallowed his saliva and told the general idea in a murmur. Xu Lingqiao lowered her eyes and suppressed all panic. "This concerns my brother's future, so let's go and ask him for help."
What are you calling her for?
At this point, she no longer had anything to do with Huang Zhi.
Xile said in a low voice, "I thought that you worked hard yesterday and have to travel again today. It's only dawn now, so why not let you rest for a while."
Then he continued, "The third son of the Huang family did say so. It makes sense to tell you about it."
Xu Lingqiao lowered his head and refused to speak.
Lianhua walked up to him and whispered, "Although Huang's third son is a stranger, this is about the young master... I have to go. I will go and invite the young master. They are both Jinshi of the same class and classmates. They came to us early in the morning to discuss something, so we can't neglect them."
Just as she was about to take a step, Xu Lingqiao called her.
"If that's what you said, I'll listen. Then I'll go meet Mr. Huang."
She fixed her makeup in front of the mirror again, and when everything looked fine, she stood up. Lianhua took the pink magnolia from Xile's hand and pinned it on the right side of her bun.
The beauty of the flowers makes Xu Lingqiao's face look even more beautiful. Her skin glows with a light luster, and she has dark eyebrows and big eyes, with a charming look and a radiant look.
The door of the teahouse was pushed open from the outside. Huang Zhi had already been standing by the window. Hearing the noise, he quickly turned around to look.
That familiar face appeared before his eyes as he took light steps.
"Huang Zhi has met Miss Cousin."
Huang Zhi bowed deeply, Xu Lingqiao sighed silently, and after entering the door, he knelt down to return the greeting.
After the ceremony, she turned around and told Lianhua and Xier, "Stand by the door."
"Yes, girl."
The door was ajar, not closed, but after thinking it over, Huang Zhi went forward and closed the door. Lianhua was a little surprised to see this.
I wanted to speak, but the door was closed.
I pricked up my ears and heard a sound inside, but I couldn't understand it.
That's all! This young man from the Huang family looks handsome and is a good friend of the Fourth Young Master. I'm afraid he's not a playboy or a scoundrel.
Inside the house, Xu Lingqiao saw this and immediately became hoarse and surprised, "What are you going to do?"
