Steamed Bun and Xiao Bai blinked pitifully. Weren't you the one looking for the soul fragment? Now that you've found it, aren't you happy?
Jiujiu was at a loss for words. 1357924?
She was indeed happy, but the feeling of being taken away wasn't pleasant at all.
Before Jiujiu could catch up with Steamed Bun and Xiao Bai, a maid invited Jiujiu over for breakfast.
Last night, Jiujiu hadn't eaten much because she was thinking about the soul fragment. So, after hearing the maid's words, she was actually a little hungry. As she followed the maid to the dining room, Bai Yu immediately stood up and greeted her with a smile, "Hello miss."
Jiujiu glanced at Bai Yu in annoyance and turned her head away, ignoring him.
Even though Bai Yu was here to look for him, she didn't feel good about being taken away without her permission. So, she naturally didn't look at Bai Yu well.
Faced with Jiujiu's accusatory gaze, Bai Yu looked down and pretended not to notice, "May I ask for your name?"
"Li Qingshu."
"Qingshu?" Bai Yu muttered softly as her eyes lit up. She repeated the name a few times in a daze, "Qingshu, Qingshu. What a good name."
"What's so good about it?" Jiujiu asked as she picked up a piece of Osmanthus cake and took a bite.
Bai Yu: "I don't know what's so good about it, but I think it's a good name. It suits you very well."
Jiujiu rolled her eyes lazily and continued to eat.
Bai Yu's food was indeed delicious, especially the Osmanthus cake. It was sweet but not greasy. It melted in her mouth and was extremely delicious.
After breakfast, Bai Yu ordered the maids to help Jiujiu get dressed. After Jiujiu was done, she led Jiujiu outside.
To accommodate Jiujiu, Bai Yu walked very slowly. Every few steps, she would turn around to look at Jiujiu. Her gaze was gentle and affectionate. The maid beside her couldn't help but look at Jiujiu enviously. On the other hand, Jiujiu walked calmly as she enjoyed the scenery along the way. It was as if Bai Yu's wait had nothing to do with her.
Bai Yu took Jiujiu to a banquet. But, to Jiujiu's surprise, everyone addressed Bai Yu.
Marquis.
How many marquises were there in the current Imperial Court? There were only two in total. One was the Yuwen Family and the other was the legendary Zhenyuan Marquis.
If the Yuwen Family was a title passed down by their ancestors, then Zhenyuan Marquis earned it with his own two hands. Unlike the Emperor, who was wary of Yuwen Jie, Zhenyuan Marquis was deeply loyal to the Emperor. If nothing went wrong, Zhenyuan Marquis would be the next official with power.
Although Jiujiu could guess that Bai Yu had an extraordinary background based on the decorations in her home, she never imagined that Bai Yu was a marquis.
In fact, it appeared that he was the legendary Zhenyuan Marquis. Truly, seeing him once was better than hearing about him a hundred times.
Jiujiu subconsciously turned her head to look at Bai Yu. Bai Yu tilted his head slightly and smiled gently at Jiujiu, making his handsome face appear even more gentle. Seeing this, the man who was talking to Bai Yu subconsciously looked at Jiujiu, "This is?"
The moment the man saw Jiujiu, his eyes were filled with shock and infatuation, as well as a trace of confusion.
Zhenyuan Marquis had suddenly appeared in the previous Imperial Court at the young age of ten. Every step he took was legendary. However, the most shocking thing wasn't his legendary experiences, but his lack of interest in women.
Zhenyuan Marquis was in a high position and held great power. Back then, countless people had racked their brains to curry favor with him. They had done everything they could to gift him money, jewelry, and beauties.
However, when it came to money, Zhenyuan Marquis had a mysterious caravan in his hands. His wealth was comparable to that of a nation. As for jewelry, he didn't care about it at all. As for beauties, even Zhenyuan Marquis was better looking than those women. How could those women have the nerve to approach him?
Furthermore, Zhenyuan Marquis had never been close to women. As time passed, he was known as a homosexual.
However, no one expected that Zhenyuan Marquis would bring a woman to the banquet.
Bai Yu was slightly displeased by the man's infatuation. However, she merely furrowed her brows and said softly, "My fiancée."
Hearing that she was Bai Yu's fiancée, the man's eyes almost popped out of their sockets. His heart was filled with emotions.
No wonder the Marquis didn't fancy those women. It was because his woman was so beautiful.
That's right, with such a beautiful and outstanding fiancée, how could those vulgar women possibly catch his eye?
After Bai Yu finished exchanging pleasantries with the man, she held onto Jiujiu's hand and led her to her seat.
Jiujiu raised her eyebrows and looked at Bai Yu with an ambiguous smile, "Your fiancée?"
Bai Yu pursed her lips, "Qingshu, I was the one who helped you change your clothes yesterday. I thought that since I saw your body, I would have to take responsibility for you. So, of course, I'm your fiancée."
Jiujiu was almost amused by Bai Yu's words. He had shamelessly snatched her away, helped her change her clothes and looked at her body without any hesitation. Now, he was telling her that she should marry him. What a bandit's logic.
If they were at the manor, Jiujiu would definitely give Bai Yu a hard time. But now, everyone was watching. Jiujiu pursed her lips and didn't say a word. She simply thought to herself, once he's in my hands, let's see how I'll deal with him.
Just as Bai Yu and Jiujiu sat down, they saw Yuwen Jie walk in with Xiao Xiao.
After not seeing her for a few days, Xiao Xiao's rosy complexion had turned pale and haggard. If one looked closely, they could see the red circles under her eyes. It was obvious that she wasn't doing well.
On the other hand, Yuwen Jie's expression was a little dark. He didn't seem to have the patience he had before with Xiao Xiao. He didn't even wait for her as he walked. Xiao Xiao followed behind Yuwen Jie in a sorry state. After the two sat down, Yuwen Jie picked up his glass and took a big gulp of wine. He then lifted his head and looked at Bai Yu who was sitting opposite him.
Although he was stationed at the border, Yuwen Jie had heard of Bai Yu's climbing speed and techniques. Now that he saw her in person and saw her outstanding appearance, he immediately thought of Jiujiu, who was equally outstanding. He was instantly displeased.
"Zhenyuan Hou, I've heard a lot about you. Sure enough, seeing is believing," Yuwen Jie said casually. After speaking, he raised his glass and gave a toast to Bai Yu.
Bai Yu smiled, "You flatter me."
Although Bai Yu was praising Yuwen Jie, she did not pick up her glass of wine like Yuwen Jie did. This action was obviously not giving Yuwen Jie any face.
Yuwen Jie's face turned even uglier. However, they were at someone else's banquet. Yuwen Jie could only suppress the anger in his heart. When he turned his head and saw Jiujiu sitting beside Bai Yu, Yuwen Jie was instantly stunned.
Her clothes were whiter than snow and her face was as white as snow. She had a pair of willowy eyebrows and a pair of beautiful eyes that seemed to contain a mist that made people want to protect her. Her lips were vermillion and her nose was small and delicate. However, the most amazing thing about her wasn't her appearance, but her cold and noble temperament.
She was like a fairy from the Jade Lake.
Compared to this woman, Xiao Xiao, who had once stunned him, was simply vulgar.
