Chapter 164 I Love You
After that court, the people of Southern Chu knew that General Lin Wei, who had repelled the enemy army in Beishuo, had recovered from his serious injuries, and was very happy to continue to defend Southern Chu and relieve the country's worries.

At the same time, the news spread to Xu's Mansion, and the servants and maids inside were discussing this matter enthusiastically, which disturbed the simple and honest girl who had been waiting in the boudoir.

The cute girl in a long pink dress sat on the edge of the bed with blank eyes, like a pretty lifeless puppet.After hearing the name in his heart, his eyes rolled a few times, and a bright brilliance flashed.

The third son Qi is back?It's great to be back.And my legs are fine, so it's great to be back alive.

She knew that the third son Qi was so powerful, how could he be ambushed and died?Now that the person finally came back, she did not wait in vain.

The girl started to jump out of the bed, ran to the door and walked out, but was stopped by the servant outside the door.

"Miss, please stay in the room. Without the master's permission, the lady cannot leave this room." The two servants outside the door bowed and said respectfully.

Facing the obstruction of the servants, the girl was not annoyed.After all, it has been closed for several months, and during these months, she was also terrified all day long, fearing that Qi Ze would be injured and never come back.So I stayed in the room all day, waiting quietly, and didn't want to run around.

Besides, Xu Bai was really angry that day, and she didn't dare to talk back in person.Although she said something that day that the third son of Qi would not marry, she thought about it in the room afterwards.Only when her father agrees to this matter, can she have the opportunity to marry Qi Ze, so she dared not lose her temper with Xu Bai anymore, and stayed quietly in the room, only waiting for the news of Qi Ze's return.

Now she's finally here!

Several months of confinement also smoothed out her petty temper, so the girl also spoke kindly.

"Now that Young Master Qi is back, Daddy will definitely let me go. I don't know much about the affairs of the court, but Daddy has always favored me. If I keep asking Daddy, Daddy will definitely agree. I'll go now I beg Daddy to let me marry Mr. Qi San."

The girl said with a smile on her face, she didn't know that she was already engaged to the Jiang family.

The two servants just lowered their heads, looked at each other secretly, and said without the master's permission, "Miss, without the master's permission, the servants dare not let the lady go out without permission, please forgive me." They didn't tell Xu Youyi the truth .

"Why?" The girl asked in surprise, "The third son Qi has already returned, why doesn't daddy let me go out?" Looking at the two silent servants, she continued: "It must be because you haven't asked daddy, I won't run away Go to the border, why won't Dad let me go out?"

Xu Youyi didn't suspect him, but thought that Xu Bai was afraid of her running to the border and grounded her.

The two servants just lowered their heads and remained silent for a while, and said after a while, "Miss, please don't embarrass the slave. The slave is only following the master's orders." After saying that, they were about to close the door again.

"Hey, you guys..." Seeing the door that was about to close, the girl hurriedly pressed her hand against the door, "You ask daddy clearly, daddy will definitely let me out."

The two servants were also afraid of hurting Xu Youyi, so they didn't dare to forcefully close the door, so they could only say: "Please return the lady to the room. If the master orders, the servant will naturally let the lady go out."

But the girl was very stubborn this time, and kept pushing against the door, "No, I have been waiting for Mr. Qi San for four months. No matter what you say, this lady must go out this time." There was a faint cry of anxiety in the words, even The identity of the lady who is usually the most disdainful to suppress people has been taken out.

The girl seemed determined this time, and pushed the door out forcefully, with her body caught between the cracks in the door.The two servants did not dare to use force, and the two sides were in a stalemate.

When Xu Youyi was about to push open the door and squeeze out, she heard Ban Xia's voice.

"Miss, let's go in and don't go out. The master did this for the sake of the lady." There was sorrow and comfort in the voice.

At this time, Ban Xia was holding lunch in his hand, looking at Xu Youyi with reddish eyes.

Seeing Banxia coming, Xu Youyi didn't use his hands anymore, but looked at the lively and active Banxia who was obviously different from usual, and said in a daze: "Banxia, ​​why? Why don't you let me go out?"

Usually when she went to see Mr. Qi San, Ban Xia would always silently support her with a smile, why did she still persuade her to go back to the room today?You are so smart, you can vaguely feel something in your heart at this moment.

Ban Xia carried the food box and walked into the room slowly.Xu Youyi couldn't help letting go, and let the two servants close the door.

"Ban Xia, did something happen? Why didn't daddy let me go out, and you persuaded me not to go out?" Seeing the back of Ban Xia putting the food box on the table, Xu Youyi couldn't help asking.

Ban Xia just wiped the corners of his eyes, with a forced smile on his face, "What will happen, it's just that Mr. Qi San is back, and this slave is just happy for Miss." Then he opened the food box and changed the subject, "Miss Come and have lunch, if you don't, the food will be cold."

The food in the food box is steaming upwards, and the color, fragrance and taste are so good that people can't help but move their index fingers.But the girl was not in the mood at this time, she looked straight at Banxia and asked, "Is there something you are hiding from me? Tell me, what happened?"

Ban Xia was silent for a moment, but still had a smile on her face, but it was full of powerlessness that could not be ignored, "How could the servant hide something from the young lady? It's just that today Wei Wei felt that the servant was not fast, so she cursed a few words, but the servant was so angry It's just uncomfortable. Let's not talk about it, Miss, come and eat."

The girl remained motionless, staring at Banxia for a long while and said: "Banxia, ​​you really can't even lie, do you think I will believe what you said? Wei Wei has returned to the village for the elderly half a year ago. How could I scold you?"

"I...I..." Seeing the girl punctured unceremoniously, Ban Xia also felt guilty and was speechless for a while.

Seeing this appearance, Xu Youyi became even more certain. She stepped forward and stared into Banxia's eyes, with a hint of crying in her words, "Tell me, what happened? Don't try to lie to me again this time."

Ban Xia couldn't help crying, and kept shaking her head without saying a word.

Xu Youyi suddenly had a bad premonition in her heart, "Could it be that the news that Mr. Qi is back is fake? Actually, Mr. Qi is still at the border now?" The more he thought about it, the more he felt that this was the possibility, otherwise why wouldn't Dad let her go out?Even Ban Xia didn't let her go out, it must be because of this reason.

My heart became more and more anxious, "No, I have to go out to have a look today no matter what. What should I do if Mr. Qi San doesn't come back?"

Seeing that the girl was about to run out, and knowing that the servants outside the door couldn't stop her, Ban Xia hurriedly grabbed Xu Youyi's wrist with her hands, and finally shed tears, "Miss, you can't go."

"Why can't I go? I've been waiting for such a long time. Ban Xia, I don't want to wait any longer. I have to go out today to find out. If the third son Qi really didn't come back and died at the border, at least let him I understand what's going on." After finishing speaking, Xu Youyi was about to shake off Banxia's hand and rush out the door.

"No, it's not that the third son of Qi didn't come back. The third son of Qi is in the Qi mansion now, and he is not injured. The news is true." Ban Xia cried and looked at the woman opposite.

"Then why stop me? You can only marry me if the third son Qi returns safely, right? Is it wrong for me to see my future husband?" The girl breathed a sigh of relief, looking forward to a happy life in the future.

Seeing the girl's joyful expression, Ban Xia shook her head with tears in her eyes and said, "Master Qi will not marry Miss."

"Why don't you marry? The third son Qi also has feelings for me, he will definitely marry me." The girl said in disbelief, and at the same time she couldn't help but wonder, in fact, she couldn't tell whether he had feelings for her.

"It's not that the third son of Qi doesn't want to marry, it's that the young lady has already had a marriage contract with the eldest son of the Jiang family, and the third son of Qi can't marry." Banxia cried and finally revealed the truth that had been hidden for several months.

The girl was stunned as if struck by lightning, unable to believe the fact, "Is what you said true?"

"It's true, as early as when the young lady was locked up, the master had already gone to Jiang's residence to discuss the marriage, and the Jiang family also agreed. In a few days, it will be the day of the young lady's marriage." Ban Xia said, shaking her shoulders slightly.

Getting married in a few days?That's why Dad, Banxia and the servants outside the door didn't let her go out, and she only knew about it now.

The eldest son of the Jiang family?Jiang Wen?Has she met him?

At this time, Xu Youyi had some vague impressions, as if a few times when she went to look for Mr. Qi San, there was a scholarly man beside her.The face is like a crown of jade, and there is often a gentle smile on the corner of the mouth. In terms of appearance and temperament, he stands out among the many princes of aristocratic families, and he is not bad at all.

But this is not what she wants, what she wants from the beginning to the end is only Mr. Qi San.

"No, it's impossible." Xu Youyi couldn't believe it, with a tear in his voice, "How could I have a marriage contract with the eldest son of the Jiang family? You must be lying to me, right?"

Although he said so, seeing Ban Xia shaking his head, he remembered the inexplicable noises in the Xu Mansion these days.I know in my heart that this is all true, I just want to give myself a psychological comfort.

Xu Youyi couldn't bear it anymore, opened the door and ran out.Even the two servants outside the door hadn't reacted yet, they looked at Ban Xia who was crying inside, and realized that Xu Youyi already knew about it, and rushed forward to chase him back.

Looking at the festive red around Xu's mansion, decorated with lanterns and festoons, the servants are all decorating with red silk.Xu Youyi froze on the spot, the sound of crying disturbed the servants who were setting up, they all stopped their work and looked at the girl in shock.

Why did the lady come out?
The servants looked at each other, not knowing what to do.

The girl covered her face and ran towards Xu Bai's yard, and the servants chasing behind her became even more anxious, "Miss, please come back with us, don't run away anymore."

But the girl acted as if she didn't hear it, and kept crying with tears in the corners of her eyes, feeling her heart hurt so badly that she could hardly breathe.Finally ran to Xu Bai's courtyard, saw Xu Bai's figure and cried loudly: "Father, I don't want to marry, I don't want to marry the eldest son of Jiang's family. Can you please invite Dad to Jiang's family to divorce?"

The two servants behind him also chased after him, and hurriedly bowed down to salute.

Xu Bai was talking to Mrs. Xu at this time, when he saw Qi Ze come back in the hall that day, he knew that Xu Youyi would definitely make a fuss.Moreover, they were about to get married, and the marriage couldn't be kept secret, it was time to tell Xu Youyi.That's why Madam Xu was asked to tell Xu Youyi about it, and at the same time to stabilize her emotions, but she didn't expect Xu Youyi to come over by herself.

Xu Bai waved his hand, signaling for the servants to step back.

Although I knew that Xu Youyi would make a fuss, I couldn't help being annoyed when I saw this situation, "Retire? What has been decided is easy to cancel? If we resign, what will others think of our Xu family? Moreover, the Jiang family has a clean and honest family style. , Jiang Wen has a good character and is the most suitable for you. You will not suffer if you marry the Jiang family, do you understand? Youyi."

The girl's eyes were red, and she cried and retorted: "Even if the Jiang family is good, my daughter is only willing to marry Mr. Qi San, and no other daughters."

It is useless to say it earnestly, Xu Bai has no way to deal with his beloved daughter for a while.He can follow her wishes in other matters, but absolutely not in this matter.The anger in my heart rose, and I just wanted to ask the servants to take him back to guard, but Mrs. Xu shook her arm a few times to stop him.

Xu Bai sighed, waved his hands to express that he would no longer interfere in this matter, turned and left.

Mrs. Xu also sighed, and asked the maids to take Xu Youyi back to the room, and she followed behind.

When Xu Youyi returned to the room, Mrs. Xu let the maids go down.Looking at her crying daughter, Mrs. Xu wiped the tears from her face distressedly.

"Mother, you must be able to understand, right?" Xu Youyi looked at Mrs. Xu expectantly, "My daughter really only wants to marry the third son Qi."

Looking at Xu Youyi for a while, Mrs. Xu said: "Youyi, let's not be stubborn. Your father is right. You will not suffer after marrying Jiang Wen. The Jiang family only has two sons, and Jiang Wen is still the Jiang family. Mrs. Jiang and my mother are handkerchiefs. After you marry, you can directly take charge of the family. Mrs. Jiang has a gentle personality and will treat you like a daughter and teach you how to run the family. You marry into the Jiang family. Mother can rest assured."

Mrs. Jiang's family is the biological mother of Jiang Wen and Jiang Yu, and she is also a kind-hearted wife of an aristocratic family. She once went outing with Mrs. Xu and embroidered handkerchiefs. The relationship between the two is very good.

Mrs. Jiang was very happy to hear that Mrs. Xu's daughter was married.It is said that as soon as Xu Youyi marries, he will transfer the power of managing the house to Xu Youyi, and teach him personally, so Xu Youyi will not be treated badly.

Naturally, what a woman hopes most is respect from her husband, her in-laws have a gentle personality, and they can be in charge of the middle class.These Jiang families all fit the bill. Mrs. Xu naturally hoped that Xu Youyi could marry into the Jiang family. She didn't have to worry about Xu Youyi being bullied because of this.

"But..." Xu Youyi held Mrs. Xu's hand unwillingly.

"My mother knows." Mrs. Xu interrupted Xu Youyi's words, "My mother knows that you like Mr. Qi San. But you Yi, life is too hard and too long, and you can't live on just relying on liking. There are many things to face in the future, You have to face with the person who is most suitable for you, but this person is not necessarily the one you like. Do you understand all this? Youyi."

She used to be a young girl, so she naturally knew that every woman wanted to marry someone she liked.But the world is complicated, and many things are doomed not to be fulfilled. It is a blessing to be able to live a peaceful and peaceful life.

And Jiang Wen is indeed more suitable than Qi Ze, she can see this.

Xu Youyi lowered her head and wept uncontrollably.

Mrs. Xu just patted the girl's head comfortingly, "Youyi, you have already said what you can and should say as a mother, you should think about it for yourself." She stood up, sighed, and left quietly.

The girl hugged her knees tightly and buried her head in tears.

She naturally understands this, but she just can't let go of the man who once made her fall in love at first sight.It's not easy for her to have someone she likes. She waited for him for two years, but now she can't let her give up.

Looking at the unguarded door, Xu Youyi decided to ask in person and make a last effort.

On the way back to Fusheng Pavilion, Qi Ze looked at the still gray sky.Although it is only evening now, the sky has become dark, and there are dark tones everywhere, which makes people uncomfortable to watch.

Remembering that it was too early to return from the Ministry of War today, Qi Ze quickened his pace, wanting to return to Fusheng Pavilion as soon as possible.Because she stayed in Beishuo for four months, many things were piled up in the study waiting for her to deal with, so she couldn't slack off.

But suddenly at a corner, Qi Ze felt someone watching her, so he turned his head and asked coldly, "Who is it? Come out."

The girl in the long pink dress came out slowly, looking at Qi Ze with reddish eyes.

"Youyi?" Qi Ze was a little surprised.

She has been busy with official business for the past few days, but she forgot about Xu Youyi. What is Xu Youyi looking for her at this time?Looking at the girl's red and swollen eyes, she knew she had cried many times, and felt a little distressed for no reason.

"Is there something you can do for me?"

The girl looked at the longing person in front of her, with a forced smile on her lips, "It's fine, but I haven't seen Mr. Qi San for a long time, so I came here to take a look if I miss you." Then she lowered her head and her voice became softer, He clenched the handkerchief unconsciously, "It's as long as Mr. Qi is fine."

"Don't worry, I'm fine." Qi Ze looked at the darkening sky, "Youyi, it's getting late, you should go back earlier, don't make your family wait." After speaking, he turned around about to leave.

"Sir Qi." The girl's hasty voice came from behind.

Qi Ze also turned around and looked at the girl.

There was a forced smile on the girl's face, and anticipation in her eyes, "Master Qi, I'm getting married."

"I know." After a while, Qi Ze calmly replied.

"It turns out that the third son of Qi knows. You Yi thought that the third son of Qi didn't know. After all, the third son of Qi was seriously injured and just returned to the capital." The girl still had a forced smile, and her eyes were full of tears at some point.

Qi Ze just looked at the girl quietly without saying a word.

"I just want to ask the third son Qi a word." The girl looked up with anticipation in her eyes, "Does the third son Qi have affection for You Yi?"

Seeing that Qi Ze didn't speak, the forced smile on the corner of the girl's mouth widened, and her eyes became more expectant, "Master Qi actually has feelings for You Yi, right? Third Master Qi can pick and buy jade hairpins for you, You can do a lot of things for Xiaoyi by throwing copper coins, all of this is not fake, right?"

Qi Ze looked at Xu Youyi for a long time, his lips parted lightly, his voice was still calm, "Youyi, I have no affection for you, never have."

The girl seemed to be a little dazed, and the smile on her face paused, "Have you ever been there?" The girl smiled lightly, and the tears in her eyes slowly flowed down her cheeks.

"But You Yi really likes Mr. Qi San, and it hasn't changed since the first time we met."
