"How … how could that be?" Xu Qingfeng stuttered. That was clearly his cousin, his second sister-in-law's good friend, Miss Hua of Duke Hua's household. Why did she become Miss Yang? Most importantly! Why did she happen to appear there and hear what he said?!
Looking at Xu Qingfeng's vexed expression, Ye Li and Qin Zheng quietly exchanged glances. Qin Zheng smiled and said, "Third brother, do you know her?"
"This …" Xu Qingfeng was somewhat embarrassed, "In the past, in the capital … how many times did I meet her?"
Ye Li smiled and said, "So that's how it is, this matter is not important. Tian Xiang is not such a narrow-minded person. Later, I will go and apologize on behalf of third brother. But … second aunt, since third brother does not have this intention, let's forget about this matter. Although Miss Yang is now living in the Prince Ding Mansion, her family and Xiuyao are family friends. We can't wrong her. "
After all, she was the one who gave birth to Xu Qingfeng. How could Second Madam Xu not notice Xu Qingfeng's strange behavior? She rolled her eyes and said to Ye Li with a smile, "Li 'er, this matter was reckless. I also saw that your third brother was going to go on a long trip and was momentarily anxious, so I lost my sense of propriety. You should properly talk to Miss Yang. Tomorrow, I will personally come and apologize. This unfilial son of mine … forget it, I am too lazy to care about him. "
"Mother …" Xu Qingfeng somewhat anxiously looked at the door that had already disappeared. Then, he looked at his mother's leisurely face and could not help but blush. Second Madam Xu calmly wiped the sweat on her forehead with a handkerchief and said to Eldest Madam Xu, "Eldest sister-in-law, seeing this unfilial son makes me angry. Let's go back."
Eldest Madam Xu looked at Xu Qingfeng, covered her mouth and smiled, nodding, "That's good. In a while, let's go out of the city to see Old Master and Yu Chen Rui 'er. The coolness outside the city is much better than suffocating at home."
Second Madam Xu smiled and agreed, "Eldest sister-in-law is right. Let's go back first. Zheng 'er, it's fine if you go back later. While you are at it, apologize to Miss Yang on behalf of mother. "
Qin Zheng smiled faintly and bowed slightly. "Zheng 'er understands. Aunt is satisfied. Mother, take care."
After watching the two ladies leave, Qin Zheng and Ye Li looked at each other and smiled. They then looked at Xu Qingfeng, who was standing at the side dejectedly. Ye Li blinked and walked over to Xu Qingfeng with a smile. "Third Brother, tell me, how did you get to know Ruohua?"
"Ruohua?" Xu Qingfeng was at a loss.
Ye Li raised her eyebrows. Only then did Xu Qingfeng come back to his senses. His usually straightforward face revealed a rare hint of embarrassment and shyness, making Ye Li and Qin Zheng laugh in their hearts.
"Uh … I've really seen him twice in the capital. Also, didn't I just come back to the Prince Ding Mansion two days ago? Feng San asked me to send something to Mr. Shen. Then I saw her … with Wuyou at Mr. Shen's place … "Xu Qingfeng looked at Ye Li in distress." Li 'er, I really didn't do it on purpose. I … I didn't know that she was Miss Yang. If I had known … "
Ye Li looked at him with a smile and asked, "So what if Third Brother knew?"
Xu Qingfeng lowered his head and pondered for a moment. Then he shook his head dejectedly. "Forget it, it's nothing. Then … go and apologize to Miss Hua … Miss Yang for me. I really didn't do it on purpose. "
Qin Zheng looked at Ye Li in confusion. She didn't understand Xu Qingfeng's sudden change. Ye Li said with a smile, "Don't you have to apologize in person to show sincerity?" Xu Qingfeng shook his head. "Forget it. Miss Yang is a lady in the boudoir. It's not good for her reputation if I suddenly go. I'll leave first, Li 'er, Second Sister-in-law. "
Seeing Xu Qingfeng turn and leave, Ye Li narrowed her eyes and raised her hand to grab Xu Qingfeng. She said in a low voice, "Third Brother, are you afraid that something will happen to you when you go to war and delay the lady? Are you afraid that when you come back alive, the lady will already have a husband?" Xu Qingfeng looked at Ye Li in surprise. Ye Li said with a smile, "There's always a way to solve things. Go and explain it to Tian Xiang. Our Prince Ding Mansion's people don't like to gossip. Be good … "
Xu Qingfeng's handsome face suddenly turned red. He took a few steps back and glared at Ye Li. "Li 'er …"
Ye Li pulled Qin Zheng and waved at him. "Go quickly. Zheng 'er and I still have things to talk about. We don't have time to deal with the aftermath for you. If no one apologizes to her today, the lady might be sad and … "Xu Qingfeng's face turned white and he hurriedly left.
Behind him, the two women looked at each other and then burst into laughter.
"Li 'er, you tease Third Brother like this …" Qin Zheng shook her head and said after laughing enough. Ye Li helplessly shrugged. "How am I teasing him? Third Brother is a straightforward person. I'm afraid his temper is more honest than Second Brother's. If I didn't say this, he might have gone out with such thoughts. When he comes back, if Tian Xiang has a wife, won't he cry to death? "
"Third Brother is in a mess because he's in the situation. When he comes back to his senses … "
"What would he dare to do to me?" Ye Li raised her head and laughed. Third Brother can't beat me! And if it really happened, would she be afraid that Third Brother wouldn't thank her?
In the guest courtyard of the Prince Ding Mansion, in the spacious and quiet courtyard, China Tian Xiang was sitting alone by the flower bed and sulking. She didn't think too much because of Xu Qingfeng's words. After all, she knew a little about the character of the young masters of the Xu family. Otherwise, she wouldn't have agreed to it when her aunt told her about Second Madam Xu's intentions. Looking at the situation at the time, she knew that Xu Qingfeng was forced by Second Madam Xu to speak without thinking.
Although she knew that Xu Qingfeng didn't have any opinions about her, it was impossible for her not to be angry when a lady was disliked like this. At the time, she didn't hesitate to slap the thick book in her hand. Unfortunately, it didn't hit Xu Qingfeng's face!
Surnamed Xu! Don't fall into this lady's hands!
Xu Qingfeng quietly landed in the garden from the top of the wall, just in time to see the beautiful and graceful woman pinching a flower with all her might. He couldn't help but shrink his neck. He wasn't really stupid. He didn't doubt that the lady was thinking of strangling his neck at this time.
"Ahem …" Xu Qingfeng coughed and looked awkwardly at Hua Tian Xiang. When she turned her head and saw him, she was stunned at first, then her pretty face sank and she turned around to leave.
"That … Hua … Miss Yang!" Xu Qingfeng hurriedly called out.
Hua Tian Xiang turned her head and looked at him indifferently. "Third Young Master Xu, what advice do you have?"
Xu Qingfeng awkwardly stepped forward and said, "I didn't mean what I said just now. Please forgive me, Miss. " Hua Tian Xiang's beautiful face bloomed with a cold smile. "You're too serious, Young Master Xu. I'm just an upstart who doesn't know where I came from. How could I dare to blame Third Young Master Xu?"
"Miss Yang …" Looking at the cold face of the girl in front of him, Xu Qingfeng only felt at a loss. Compared to going to the battlefield, fighting a war made him feel more nervous. In his heart, he was extremely regretful that he was not as eloquent as his eldest brother, fourth brother, and fifth brother. At the very least, he should have a wooden face like his second brother, which would not change even if Mount Tai collapsed in front of him. He did not even know if he was blushing at this moment.
