Because of Li Xiuwan's arrival just now, Jiujiu didn't hear the most wonderful part of the song. Xiao Rong said that he would send the singer to Lord Protector's Manor tomorrow and let Jiujiu listen to it as much as she wanted.
It was afternoon when Xiao Rong sent Jiujiu back. When Jiujiu went back, she was stopped by Li Guiqin and Nan Dongbei.
They pulled Jiujiu and told her several times not to get too close to Xiao Rong.
Nan Dongbei said earnestly, "Xiang 'er, although Xiao Rong is handsome and has a good family background, his status is too high. We can't get close to him.
You know why he likes you. Now you are beautiful, and he treats you kindly. But after a few years, when you lose your beauty, he will turn hostile.
No matter how noble your family background is, you just need to wear more clothes and eat three meals a day. Your mother and I have been married for dozens of years, and we have crossed more bridges than you have walked on roads.
In life, when you look for someone by your side, you don't need their status to be noble, nor do you need their appearance to be handsome. You only need them to be loyal to you. Do you understand what I mean? "
Jiujiu nodded obediently, "I understand. Father, don't worry. Xiao Rong and I don't have that kind of relationship."
Nan Xiang had been a well-behaved and sensible girl since she was a child.
Hearing Jiujiu say that she understood, Nan Dongbei and Li Guiqin were relieved.
Jiujiu was very beautiful, so it was normal that Xiao Rong liked her.
Although Xiao Rong was very enthusiastic about Jiujiu now, his status was too high. It was said that the emperor would definitely pass the throne to Xiao Rong if it weren't for the Crown Prince's talent.
Although Nan Dongbei had a marquis title, everyone knew how Nan Dongbei got his title. It was only a little better than the ordinary official title. Xiao Rong's family background was too good. They couldn't get close to him, so they could hide from him.
Nan Dongbei and Li Guiqin had already made up their mind that Jiujiu could marry anyone except Xiao Rong.
If she married Xiao Rong, they couldn't help Jiujiu when she was bullied in the future.
Since Jiujiu understood, they would say less. If Jiujiu didn't understand, they would say it until she understood.
After the Spring Festival, they would go back and find a reliable and capable husband for Jiujiu to marry into her family.
Fortunately, Xiao Rong didn't know what Nan Dongbei and Li Guiqin were thinking. If he knew it, he would want to kill them.
After Li went home, she sent a maid to find out who was the woman beside Xiao Rong.
The maidservant quickly found out that Jiujiu was none other than the only daughter of the most favored Marquis of Qianhu in her previous life.
However, the Duke had never brought his wife and daughter to the capital in her previous life. Why did he bring his wife and daughter here now?
Thinking of Jiujiu's indescribably beautiful face, Li Xiuwan's heart was scratched, and she did not know what to do.
In her previous life, Xiao Rong had always surrounded her. She had relied on her extremely beautiful face.
Now Jiujiu, who was more beautiful than her, came to the capital. Would Xiao Rong still like her as she remembered?
Thinking of Xiao Rong's attitude towards her today, the answer was no.
But because the answer was no, Li Xiuwan felt more and more tormented.
The purpose of her coming back was to make Xiao Rong fall in love with her, marry her and enjoy the glory brought by Xiao Rong's identity.
If she couldn't do that, what was the point of her coming back?
No, she had to find a way to make Xiao Rong like her again.
The only variable now was Nan Xiang.
Li Xiuwan remembered clearly that Nan Xiang didn't come to the capital in her previous life. Now she came here. Was she reborn like her?
Did she also want the glory brought by Xiao Rong's identity? Did she want those benefits?
Thinking of this, Li Xiuwan felt that this person called Nan Xiang couldn't stay.
But.
Although Nan Dongbei didn't have any real power, he still had a title. She was only the daughter of a vice minister. If she wanted to deal with Jiujiu, she had to know herself and know her enemy.
The next day.
Xiao Rong and Princess Jiarong went to the palace. Because they couldn't accompany Jiujiu, they sent the actor who sang yesterday. They let him sing for Jiujiu alone.
Jiujiu, Nan Dongbei, and Li Guiqin sat below the stage, listening to the actor sing.
Nan Dongbei and Li Guiqin didn't have any interest in singing. At first, they were patient enough to accompany Jiujiu, but after two hours, Jiujiu was still sitting there. The two of them couldn't sit still, so they found an excuse to leave.
The actor sang the part that Li Xiuwan didn't listen to yesterday. Seeing that he was about to open his mouth, Bai Lian suddenly came forward and whispered in Jiujiu's ear, "Young miss, Miss Li from the vice minister's family wants to see you."
"Miss Li?" Jiujiu blinked.
Although she had been in the capital for a while, she didn't go out at first. Later, she was pulled by Princess Jiarong to go on a blind date with Xiao Rong, so she stayed with Xiao Rong. How could she have time to meet Miss Li?
Jiujiu was busy listening to the song, so she directly said, "I don't know her. Just go back."
After Bai Lian left, Jiujiu finally had time to continue listening to the part that she didn't listen to yesterday.
When she finished listening to the part that she didn't listen to yesterday, Bai Lian came again, "Young miss, that Miss Li isn't willing to leave. She said that you met yesterday. She offended young miss yesterday and specially came to apologize to young miss."
This time, it was very clear who she was referring to.
Offended her yesterday.
Wasn't that Miss Li who was reborn and wanted to marry Xiao Rong?
Thinking of her own guess, Jiujiu looked at Xizi, who was still singing, with some reluctance. She first asked Bai Lian to let Xizi off the stage to rest and continue singing later. Only then did she go to the front hall to see Li Xiuwan.
Li Xiuwan was wearing a pink dress. When she saw Jiujiu come over, she immediately came forward with a smile. If Jiujiu wasn't sure that she had seen Li Xiuwan yesterday, she would have thought that they were good friends.
Jiujiu wasn't familiar with Li Xiuwan, so she naturally didn't want to give Li Xiuwan face. She directly avoided Li Xiuwan's hand that wanted to take her arm and sat down. "Miss Li, why are you looking for me?"
Li Xiuwan had already thought about it when she came.
No matter if Jiujiu was reborn like her or not, she had to have a good relationship with Jiujiu.
Even if she couldn't win against Jiujiu to become Xiao Rong's wife, she had to use her relationship with Jiujiu to become Xiao Rong's concubine.
Thinking of the concubines who lived much better than her in her previous life and their means, Li Xiuwan felt that as long as she was given time, she could also do it.
Therefore, when she heard Jiujiu's question, Li Xiuwan immediately said, "Yesterday, I accidentally offended you. I specially came to apologize to you."
After Li Xiuwan finished speaking, her maid immediately took out a sandalwood box and handed it to Jiujiu.
Li Xiuwan explained softly, "This is blood swallow's nest. It's the most nourishing for a woman's body. Please accept it."
