Western Wind Cutting Works The Eldest Daughter Should Get Married, First-Rank Marquise's Concubine-Born Daughter Should Get Married, First-Rank Marquise's Concubine-Born Daughter Should Get Married, First-Rank Marquise's Concubine-Born Daughter Volume 1 Chapter 62 Refusal
His eyes coldly swept over the maidservants who were still somewhat attractive and had clearly been carefully dressed up. Baili Rongyin immediately refused, saying "No need, take them all away."
Serve him? He has never liked outsiders to get close, especially women. Qinglan Garden still only has two maids besides the kitchen maid and a few rough servant girls. These two were also kept after he observed them and knew they were sensible people. Usually, they just call them to take care of clothes and do some trivial things, and don't let them serve him closely.
Mother would suddenly let Li Ayi bring so many carefully selected maids, and he wouldn't be able to guess Mother's intention.
But he had already promised Jing'er that he would never take in anyone else, and these maids were so annoying to him that he couldn't bear to let them stay.
Upon hearing Baili Yongjia's firm refusal, Li Mama was taken aback for a moment before continuing, "Young Master, these people were personally selected by the princess; even if you don't want all of them, couldn't you at least keep one or two?"
This will be refused by the crown prince so thoroughly, how can she explain it to the princess after she returns?
The maids who had always stood behind Mrs. Li initially all looked worried. When they were chosen by the princess today, most of them were unhappy in their hearts. Even if they wanted to be concubines, they should find someone with a promising future, what kind of future could they have following the sickly prince?
But they were all born and raised in the palace, and everything was decided for them without their own consent. They could only secretly lament their bad luck, unexpectedly getting entangled in this matter. Who would have thought that the prince would bluntly refuse, clearly not wanting to keep them by his side to serve him, which also meant that the prince had no intention of taking any of them as a concubine. Everyone couldn't help but secretly breathe a sigh of relief.
Although the young master was as handsome as if he had walked out of a painting, exuding an air of nobility that often left them blushing and stunned. But if they really had to choose someone to be their master's concubine, they would still prefer the second young master. After all, without him, everything would be lost. What's the use of being born good-looking?
They have known their humble status as maidservants since childhood. They haven't experienced warmth or cold, and the oppression and injustice they suffered at the bottom rung made them more realistic than anyone else. If they want to live a good life in the future, any smart person wouldn't pin their hopes on someone who might die of illness at any time.
Looking at the expressions of these maids, Baili Yongjin could somewhat guess some of their thoughts. Her expression unchanged, she said "I will go and tell my mother that Qinglan Garden no longer needs to add any more maids. These people are from where, you just send them back there."
If he really let them stay, it would only add trouble for his Ning'er, and he certainly wouldn't allow that.
Mrs. Li looked very embarrassed, she and the princess both thought that since the prince had already agreed to get married, they would send a few clever maids over to serve him personally, and the prince should not refuse. After Miss Xia got married, if needed, it's also good to pick a few from among them for the prince to take as concubines, and in the future, they can also take turns serving with Miss Xia.
Who would have thought that the young master would be so resistant, not even willing to leave one behind? What's to be done now?
Madam Li's mind flashed with several ways to persuade him, but in the end she could only carefully say "Young Master, after a few more months Miss Xia will be married into our household, it would be good to keep these maidservants to serve her."
Since the crown prince dotes on Miss Xia, who is about to enter the palace, she can only start from here. No matter what, first keep her by his side and then see, perhaps after being together for a long time, the crown prince will come around and choose one or two concubines.
Baili Rongjin frowned and said coldly, "There are many servants in Qinglang Garden, it's not their turn to serve Cong'er."
Madam Li felt a faint cold sweat on her forehead, and after racking her brains, she continued, "Young Master, Qinglan Garden has many guards and servants, but only two maidservants, Yu Shan and Xue Xi. How can they possibly attend to Miss Xia's needs? We can't have the servants or guards following closely behind her, can we?"
Baili Rongjin furrowed her brow in deep thought, this was indeed the case, although there were many servants in the garden, but only two maidservants. After Jing'er got married, someone had to be able to serve her, and it couldn't be the young men or guards who served Jing'er.
Even Qingyu, who was standing beside her, felt that it made sense. After all, Xiaojie was the future crown princess, and it wouldn't be proper for a servant or guard to attend to her daily needs. This wasn't right at all.
Seeing that Baili Rong had already shown a hint of interest, Li Mama secretly felt delighted and continued to persuade, "So, Young Master, why don't we just leave these maidservants here for Miss Xia to command?"
Baili Rongjin glanced at Li Mama, whose face was filled with hope, and thought to himself that even if he wanted to get a new maid for Ning'er, he wouldn't choose any of these girls sent by their mothers.
"Then add some more maids, but not these people. Yushan, you and Qingyu personally go to choose some people back, want honest and kind ones, those with small thoughts are not allowed."
As soon as these words came out, they were completely devoid of any courtesy, and Li's face also turned somewhat pale. Wasn't the young master's words clearly pointing at the maids she had brought?
Mrs. Li wanted to say something else, but saw Bai Rongyun's face slightly sinking, and said displeasedly: "If you dare to speak again, go and accept the punishment yourself."
Mrs. Li hastily shut her mouth, although she was an old woman beside the princess, but this did not mean that she could be presumptuous in front of the prince. Obviously, her previous actions had already overstepped and annoyed the prince.
If she doesn't shut up now, even the young master won't give her a chance to save face anymore.
Baili Rongjin calmly turned around and before entering the house, he didn't forget to leave a sentence saying "Take all these people back with you."
Mrs. Li had no choice but to lead a group of maids out of the Qinglan Garden with great respect and caution.
After entering the house, Baili Yongjin continued to pick up the unfinished book and read it, completely unaffected by what had just happened. It wasn't until Qingyu and Yueshan returned with a few maids carrying a sedan chair that he looked up.
Baili Yongjin raised her head and took a quick glance before letting Yu Xuan lead them down.
Qing Yu saw that Bai Li Rong Jin was still staring at the book in his hand, and worried about his physical condition, he stepped forward and advised a few words: "Young Master, it's just past lunchtime, why don't you lie down and rest for a while?" Always working so hard like this, how can your body hold up?
Baili Rongjin was about to say that it wasn't necessary, but by his ear, he seemed to hear Xia Ting's clear and lively voice: "Rongjin, you must take good care of this illness in order to recover. You should pay more attention to resting every day."
As soon as he thought of her reminder, Baili Yongjin nodded and said "Alright, you go down first, call me if there's anything."
Qing Yu was somewhat surprised by the cooperation of the young master, but more so delighted, hastily nodding and retreating to avoid disturbing his master's rest.
Baili Rongjin quietly closed her beautiful eyes, with a hint of a smile on the corner of her lips.
But Li's nanny led a group of maids back to Su Yuan.
The quiet queen sat in the house handling government affairs, seeing Li Niang come back, she hurriedly put down her hands and was about to ask if her own son had said anything. But when she saw the maids who came in with Li Niang, her smile suddenly froze.
Looking at the row of neatly lined up maids, Princess Jing hastily asked, "Nanny, what's going on? Why have all these people come back with you?"
She also wanted to ask which one of these Jiner liked better.
The old lady sighed lightly and said helplessly, "Princess, I have failed in my mission. Not one of the young masters is willing to accept it."
Even if she said that these maids would stay to serve Miss Xia, the young master refused to agree. He would rather have people go and choose other maids than let these people stay in Qinglan Garden. It seems that the young master has made up his mind not to take a concubine, although he still has some face in front of the princess, but after all, she is just a slave. The arm cannot twist the thigh, and she can't influence the young master's decision at all.
The queen's brow furrowed slightly as she said, "Tell me the details quickly."
Mrs. Li nodded and told the whole story truthfully, without any false or personal feelings mixed in.
The queen listened and frowned, saying "This child is really..."
These maidservants were all carefully selected by her after much deliberation and consideration, with the intention of letting him choose one or two that he liked, to be kept as concubines in the future. But unexpectedly, he didn't want any of them, and they were returned just like that, without exception.
"Your Highness, in my humble opinion, it's better to put off arranging a conjugal visit for the young master for now. After all, you don't plan on having him take these maids as concubines immediately, do you? We had previously thought of placing them in the young master's residence to serve him first, and then have him take them in after Miss Xia enters the manor. Why not just drag this matter out a bit longer? It won't delay anything much."
The key is that the young master will be very disgusted with those maids, even if he really enters Qinglan Garden, won't he still be ignored by the young master, isn't it useless?
The queen nodded slowly and said, "It can only be so for now." Her son was unwilling, how could she force him to accept these maids?
Raising her head to glance at the row of maids standing before her, Jing Wangfei was filled with confusion. These people, regardless of their appearance or figure, didn't seem any different, so why couldn't they catch Jin'er's eye?
Just as Queen Jing was staring at those maids she had personally selected with a puzzled expression, King Jing returned after finishing his official duties.
As soon as he stepped into the house, he saw Jing Wangfei's face full of doubt and entanglement. Jing Wangye walked over with a steady pace, and Li Niangniang and the maids hurriedly paid their respects, saying "Greetings, Your Highness."
The King of Jing waved his hand and said, "All of you get up."
The queen consort heard this and turned her head to look at him with delight "Your Majesty, you're back."
The King nodded slightly and inadvertently swept his gaze over the row of maidservants, asking in puzzlement, "What's going on here?"
How come there are so many maids in the house, and they all look quite pretty, obviously after careful dressing up. What is Yaso going to do?
The King's gaze towards Queen Jing became increasingly perplexed.
The Empress Dowager gently waved her hand, indicating that everyone should withdraw, and Mrs. Li immediately led the maids behind her to retreat.
The queen consort leaned in closer to King Jing and slightly furrowed her brow, saying "Your Majesty, what do you think of those maids just now?"
The King of Jing heard this and was somewhat perplexed, but still expressed his inner thoughts: "Not bad, they all look quite good." They seemed to be some honest people too.
The queen's brow furrowed even tighter upon hearing this. "Yes, I think it's quite good too." But why didn't Jin'er like it?
Looking at his wife's furrowed brow and muttering to herself, King Jing finally sensed that something was amiss and asked in surprise, "What's going on? Why are you suddenly asking about these maids?"
The queen sat down on the chair with a dejected look, saying: "It's all for Jin'er, I carefully selected these maids and sent them over, but he said he didn't want any of them. He even had the nanny bring them back directly. You also said that they are all decent-looking, so why can't Jin'er see it? Even if it was just one, it would be better than nothing."
As her son grew older, she found it increasingly difficult to fathom his thoughts.
The King was surprised and said "Were those maids just now going to be sent to Jin'er's side?"
Is this for Jin'er's arranged marriage? No wonder those few maids are all so pretty, they were originally prepared for her son.
The queen sighed and said, "Yes, but Jin'er just wouldn't let them stay by her side to serve her. The nanny tried to persuade him, but he still sent the people back."
This really made her feel a bit frustrated as a mother, why didn't her son like the person she chose.
The King remained unmoved, saying "Ji'er doesn't like it, that's all. We can't force him to take a concubine." In his eyes, this was a manifestation of his son's integrity, unswayed by beauty.
The quiet queen pinched her lips, dissatisfied, saying "I'm not asking for the immediate collection of these maids by Jin'er, just thinking of putting them in his house first and collecting them later won't be too late. In the future, they can also serve Jin'er together with Xia Ting."
After hearing Jing Wangfei's words, Jing Wangye frowned and said, "Yasu, don't you want to meet Jiner's fiancée?"
From just now until now, I've been grasping at this matter without letting go, it shouldn't be like that.
The queen dowager was taken aback for a moment before retorting, "What are you talking about? I have nothing against her."
The King's eyebrows rose slightly as he said, "Since that's the case, why do you have a dissatisfied expression and insist on forcing Jin'er to accept the concubine? My son doesn't want to be a debauchee, but you seem unhappy about it."
The Empress Dowager suddenly choked, and argued strongly: "This woman has a few days every month when she is not convenient. I let Jin'er take the concubine for his own good. What's wrong with that?"
The King shook his head in disapproval "No, you're clearly treating the future daughter-in-law of the Rong family with disdain, why is that?"
He and his wife have been married for over twenty years, how could he not understand her character? If it were usual, Jin'er would say a few words to express her dissatisfaction and then let it go. Why would she be so persistent today? The only explanation is that she doesn't like the future daughter-in-law, which is why she wants Jin'er to accept a concubine.
But why is that? According to what Li Niangniang reported after her last visit to the Xia Manor to pay respects, this future daughter-in-law is intelligent and elegant, with impeccable manners. It left Li Niangniang full of praise.
At that time, Ya Su listened and had a very satisfied expression, how could this be...
The Empress Dowager Zhang opened her mouth, originally wanting to argue that she didn't, but in the end, the words couldn't be spoken, and she could only say in a low voice, "Ji'er is now only thinking of Xia Tingcong, I don't know if she still has me, her mother, in her heart."
Previously, after listening to Li's mother's words when she came back, she was indeed quite satisfied with this daughter-in-law. It's just that Jin'er has been more and more concerned about his future wife recently, preparing everything for her in advance.
It's so good that even her mother is a bit jealous, and now her son won't listen to her and take in a concubine, directly sending someone away. This makes her feel even more sour and anxious in her heart, which is why she wants her son to take in a concubine and listen to her words.
The King was taken aback and lost his smile. "Is it just because of this? Are you overthinking things, Ji'er being concerned about his future daughter-in-law is the most normal thing. His son wasn't speaking out against you for her sake, he just didn't want to accept a concubine. Do you have to be like this? Are you going to keep harping on this and not let it go?"
The queen's face turned slightly red after hearing this. She had also been momentarily stunned and thought that her son was not listening to her, which made her anxious and flustered. Now being spoken to by the king like this, she came back to her senses and muttered, "I, I just couldn't think it through for a moment, who would have thought of clinging to this matter?"
The King smiled and looked at the other person, "It's good that you've come to your senses. It's just a small matter, but if you really make a fuss, Jing'er might get angry too. Your son is born to you, if you can't be filial to him, who else can you be filial to?"
The queen slightly lowered her head and thought carefully, also feeling that this was the reason, but it was about arranging a conjugal visit. She didn't want to be at odds with her son over this. So she no longer dwelled on this matter.
A warm room, inside a snow-white mosquito net, Baili Yongjin was quietly sleeping soundly, her long hair as black as ink scattered neatly beside her, forming a striking contrast with her skin as white as jade.
Qing Yu gently pushed open the door, slowed down his footsteps and walked to the bedside, calling out in a low voice "Young Master".
In the quiet room, a low voice sounded. Bai Li Rong Jin slightly moved her curled eyelashes and gently opened her eyes, with a hint of drowsiness after waking up.
After a long while, Baili Rongyin finally sat up, her eyes clearing as she asked the green-robed girl outside the curtains, "What is it?"
Qingyu stepped forward a few steps and hung up the mosquito net, saying respectfully, "Young Master, Carpenter Liu has arrived."
Liu Shifu? Could it be that Ning'er's beautiful bed has been made already?
Baili Rongjin lifted the quilt, put on his boots and got out of bed, saying "Let's go." He had to take a look at how well this beautiful bed was made.
Qingyu followed closely behind and arrived at the great hall of Qinglan Garden.
A sturdy middle-aged man was respectfully waiting there. Seeing Baili Rongyin enter, he hastily bowed and said, "Young Master."
Baili Rongjin waved his hand lightly and asked, "Is the beauty bed made yet?" Since that evening when he returned, he had been keeping Ning'er's request in mind. He sent someone to find the best wood and invited Liu Shifu, the most famous carpenter in Kyoto, to personally make this beauty bed.
It's been almost half a month now, I think it should be done by now.
Liu Shifu nodded respectfully, "Back to the young master, the humble one is fortunate not to have failed in his entrustment, it's already been done." After speaking, he signaled for the apprentice behind him to go outside and let people bring things in.
Before long, the two men carefully carried in a beautifully crafted beauty couch and gently placed it on the floor tiles in the hall, fearing to damage it in the slightest.
Baili Rongjin stepped forward a few steps, sizing up the beautiful chaise longue in front of her. The entire frame was made of the most valuable golden nanmu wood, extremely luxurious and emitting a faintly visible golden glow.
One side of the backrest is made with hollowed-out carvings, while the four legs have intricate and complex relief patterns.
The whole bed looks beautiful and exquisite, with a perfect shape that makes people admire.
Master Liu gazed at his own work with extreme astonishment, having a kind of "this life is enough" sigh.
Every time he looks at this bed, he can't help but praise it again. Even now, there is still an unbelievable feeling, did he really make such a rare treasure with his own hands?
Baili Rongjin stretched out his hand to stroke the couch, nodding in satisfaction. "Well done, it's indeed a masterpiece." Such a couch would surely be to Cong'er's liking. He could even imagine her lying on it, resting.
Liu Shifu shook his head, not daring to take credit. "The young master has praised wrongly. If it weren't for the young master's drawings, how could a humble person like me have made such a bed? I'll dare to ask one more question, who drew that drawing?"
He could think of such exquisite objects, as a woodworking enthusiast, he was eagerly looking forward to meeting this person and discussing it with him.
Baili Rongjin slightly narrowed his eyes and said faintly, "You don't need to know this, Qingyu, take Liu Shifu to the accounting room to collect his wages."
His daughter was after all a woman, and how could such talent be revealed to others?
Qing Yu hastily stepped forward a few steps and invited out Liu Shifu who still wanted to ask a few more questions.
Baili Rongjin gently swept across the beautiful woman's bed, her eyes warm and gentle. The bed was originally not this size, but he worried that if Ning'er fell asleep and turned over, she might accidentally fall off, so he asked Liu Shifu to enlarge it a bit.
After stroking the couch, a cool feeling came from her palm. Baili Rongyin slightly furrowed her brow. If it was this cold today, how could Ning rest on such a chilly couch without catching a chill?
Just then, Youshan walked in.
Hearing the footsteps, Baili Youning didn't even lift her head and said, "The tailor in the mansion will sew a few blankets according to the size of this beautiful bed, using the best fox fur."
Now it's cold, you can put on a warm blanket. When it gets hot again, just remove the blanket.
Yu Shan was stunned, staring at the exceptionally beautiful and exquisite beauty couch in the hall, and for a long time she couldn't come back to her senses.
Not hearing a response, Baili Yongji lightly lifted her head to look at the newcomer, but saw that the maid was staring at the beautiful woman on the couch with a face full of astonishment.
Being looked at by Baili Yongjue, Yu Shang suddenly came back to her senses and hastily lowered her head saying "Yes, I'll go take care of it right away." She turned around and was about to walk out.
But was stopped by Baili Yongjin's shout "Wait a minute, what is that in your hand?"
Yu Shan lowered his head and scolded himself in his heart, then quickly turned around and walked back into the hall. He held out the things in his hands to Bai Li Rong Jin and said, "Young Master, this is the wedding dress made by the mansion. Please try it on and see if there's anything that needs to be modified."
She was originally going to take the wedding dress for the young master to try on, but unexpectedly got distracted by that beautiful thing and forgot about it.
Looking at the fiery red clothes in the tray, Baili Yongjin hooked up a faint smile.
"Bring in the guards and have them carry this beautiful couch back to the house. Be careful with it, don't damage it."
Several guards nodded and took orders, one on the left and one on the right lifted up a delicate beauty couch, and followed Baili Hongzhuang back to the room.
Yu Cong gently pushed open the door of the house to let the guards carry the beautiful sedan chair in, and Bai Li Rongjin had them place it on one side.
After finishing all this, the guards bowed their heads and retreated in an orderly manner.
Baili Yongjin picked up the wedding dress on the tray and smiled slightly.
"Shangzi, are you going to try it on now?"
Baili Rongjin nodded slightly, carrying the wedding dress to the back of the screen, taking off the white robe on her body and changing into this dazzling red wedding dress.
Yu Shan stood quietly outside and didn't go to help, she knew the rules of the young master, he would never let these maidservants serve him closely.
After changing into his attire, Bai Li Rong Jin walked out from behind the screen, gently stroking this fiery red wedding dress with a warm smile. This fiery red garment made his skin tone appear even more pale and delicate.
He had never been fond of bright colors, but this fiery red wedding dress that seemed to blaze like a flame somehow inexplicably caught his fancy.
He just thought that gorgeous red was beautiful and couldn't bring out any dislike in him at all.
After seeing Baili Yongjia change into her wedding dress, Yu Xuan covered the surprise in his eyes and walked forward to inspect the wedding attire from front to back, but there was nothing out of place.
She asked again, "Young Master, do you feel that there's anything not quite right? I can take it back and have the tailor make some adjustments." In fact, asking this was unnecessary, as the tailor who made this wedding garment was from the manor, and they were already familiar with the young master's measurements. The clothes should fit perfectly.
Baili Rongjin slightly shook her head "It's quite fitting, let's just leave it like this, no need to make any changes."
Baili Yongjin looked for a while, suddenly thought of another thing, and raised his head to say "Who is the best tailor in Kyoto?"
Yu Shan listened and was taken aback, opening her mouth slightly to say "It's Zhang Xiangniang from Yunxiang Pavilion. She used to be the imperial tailor in the palace, not only is she good at embroidery, but also exceptional at sewing clothes. After leaving the palace, she opened Yunxiang Pavilion. In Kyoto, it's naturally that her craftsmanship is the best." However, very few people can afford to invite this Zhang Xiangniang, and who knows what the young master wants with her?
Baili Rongjin's eyes were slightly downcast as she gazed at the wedding dress in her hand, saying "Go and invite her over."
Yu Shan was taken aback, slightly surprised, and asked uncertainly, "Is the young master dissatisfied with this wedding dress?"
So I thought of asking that seamstress to come and make another one?
Baili Rongjin gently shook her head, "This wedding dress is quite good, I'll wear it on the day of the grand wedding. As for asking Zhang Xiangniang to come over, there's another matter at hand, just go and ask her to come over."
His wedding dress was ready, but what about Ning'er's dowry? The faces of Old Lady Xia and her daughter-in-law were still fresh in his mind, and now that Ning'er was about to get married, would they be kind enough to prepare a beautiful dowry for her?
This matter will have to be handled by him.
Yu Shan nodded and replied "Yes, then I'll go to Yun Yu Ge."
Baili Yongjin said again, "No matter what, we must invite him over."
Yu Cong was shocked. If that's what you mean, then it means that if the embroidery girl is too proud to come over, she won't hesitate to use the power of the Jing Wang Fu to threaten her.
After nodding in response, Yu Shan bowed and retreated. She had to hurry to the Yunxiang Pavilion to invite Zhang Xiangniang over immediately.
Xia Fu, Xia Ting was sitting by the window at this time, drawing the style of Snow Refining Workshop's clothes.
In a few more days, the Snow Workshop will be open for business. She needs to prepare some beautiful clothing designs and sew them up to put in the shop to attract customers.
Wan Yu sat on one side, deftly sewing pouches and sachets, occasionally exchanging a few words with Xia Ting.
Xia Ting was carefully drawing patterns on the paper, thinking to herself that maybe in a few days she should pick out some fabrics for Rong Jin to make a few clothes, he would definitely look good wearing them.
Wan Yu embroidered the sachet and said, "Miss, your dowry is now ready, but you still need to prepare a gift for those younger sisters-in-law when you pay respects with tea the day after tomorrow."
This is also particular, sending well or not can relate to people's first impression of the girl.
Xia Ting stopped her pen and said, "I've thought about this too, I roughly know what to send. But it's still better to ask Rong Jin."
Things given to girls are nothing but clothes and jewelry. She can just pick some good ones from the beauty hall later. What needs careful consideration is the gift for Rong Jin's two younger brothers, as she knows how much they mean to him by the tone and expression he uses when mentioning them. This being their first meeting, she must make a good impression on them no matter what.
Wan Yu also thought it made sense "That's true, but the young master hasn't come for two days either."
Xia Ting smiled lightly and teased, "Do you think everyone is as idle as you are? Just embroidering a few sachets will do. Rong Jin has to attend the morning court every day and handle official business, where does he have so much free time to come over every day?"
Late at night, Yu pouted and said, "Miss, you're always teasing me. I'm actually quite capable of doing things."
Although she said so, she was clear in her heart that a personal maid like her could have such leisure time every day because she followed a good master. The young lady would not point at them with her fingers, and sometimes some things did not need to be ordered, she could do it by herself.
They were much more leisurely than other people's maidservants.
Xia Ting smiled and glanced at Wan Yu "Yes, of course you have done something, but they are all trivial matters." Then she laughed first.
Wan Yu's face puffed up like a steamed bun, looking chubby and round, but she didn't know how to refute it. After all, wasn't her daily routine just a bunch of trivial matters?
At this moment, Lü Wēi pushed open the door and walked in. She saw Miss with a smiling face, while Wǎn Yù had a puffy bun-like face, feeling somewhat puzzled.
Xia Ting turned her head and looked at Lu Wei, "What's wrong, is there something?"
Lv Wei finally came back to her senses and quickly walked a few steps to gather beside Xia Ting's body, whispering a few sentences in her ear.
Only Xia heard Cong's words and was shocked "How did she come?"
Green shook her head, indicating she was also perplexed.
"Let's go and take a look."
Digression
Everyone, I'm so sorry to keep you waiting. My computer hasn't been fixed yet. The repairman said the motherboard is broken and it can only be repaired when the weather clears up. I had no choice but to run to get a USB drive and came to my friend's house to upload this post. Today, I got back home at 6 pm, and the person fixing my computer worked until 6:30 pm but still didn't finish. It was raining heavily outside, so I ran to my friend's house in the rain, which is why it's late. This week has been rainy all along, and I don't know when it will clear up. For the next few days, I'll be coming to my friend's house to upload posts. Today's post can only be updated tomorrow. I have to return the computer to my friend's brother, so I'll probably update around 8 pm tomorrow. Sorry again, everyone!
