Chapter 159

Zhu Bal took the gold ingot blankly, with a complicated expression on his face.

In fact, he also knew in his heart that with his conditions, he was indeed not worthy of Li Beibei.

Last night, when the wine and meat were in full swing, I thought Li Beibei was lively and cute, so I got excited and exchanged tokens naturally.

After all, the two have only known each other for a day, even if they have a good impression, how deep can their relationship be?

"I'm sorry." He apologized softly, took out the sapphire bracelet from his pocket, and put it in her hand, "I've made you feel wronged, I hope you will take good care of your health in the future, so that you can be admitted to Wenxiu."

"Brother Zhu..."

Li Beibei choked up, and a tear fell from the corner of his eye.

If we say goodbye today, we may not have the chance to meet again in the future.

Mrs. Zhu was beside her, staring at the precious sapphire bracelet in Li Beibei's hand, wondering what she was thinking.

She hesitated for a moment, and couldn't help but said: "You don't need to do this, in fact, as long as your natal family's dowry is rich enough, I can go back to the other house..."

"Sister, can you stop talking?" Zhu Ba frowned at her.

Mrs. Zhu was angry: "Why, you are not a country girl who has studied, and you dare to shout at me? Zhu Ba, don't forget, who is the reason why I was kicked out of my husband's house! Isn't it all because of me? Hello! You white-eyed wolf! What's the point of me being alive!"

She was crying and ran out with a limp.

Zhu Ba was helpless, and said to the servant girl: "Follow and have a look, don't let her make trouble."

The servant girl agreed and chased her out.

Li Beibei was a little worried: "She won't really commit suicide?"

"Don't worry, she's just making trouble, and she'll be fine in a while." Zhu Ba sighed.

Obviously he has long been used to his sister's behavior.

"That's good." Li Beibei lowered her head, her face flushed slightly.

Zhu Ba sighed: "Actually, my sister didn't mean to embarrass you on purpose, her life is very hard... It's all because of me, I'm sorry for her..."

Liu Qingluo sneered: "She is justified because of her fate? Are you sure that she was kicked out because of you, not her own reasons?"

Zhu Ba didn't say anything.

Liu Qingluo said: "If you are sincere, go to Li Beibei's house in person and ask her parents to marry her. If you expect to elope with her, it is absolutely impossible. Now you go, we have to pack up."

Zhu Ba looked at Li Beibei again, then turned and left silently.

Li Beibei stood blankly for a while, his face full of disappointment.

Liu Qingluo asked her softly: "Do you really like him so much?"

"I don't know..." She muttered to herself, "I just... I feel very happy when I see him, but I feel bored when I think of never seeing him again..."

She looked at Liu Qingluo pitifully, and stretched out a hand to her: "Xiao Qing'er, am I sick? Can you help me take a look?"

Liu Qingluo smiled wryly: "Silly girl."

She began to believe that there really is such a thing as love at first sight in this world.

"If you really can't let him go, let's pass by here after the exam and come find him again." Liu Qingluo comforted her.

Li Beibei shook his head: "I don't like his sister. If I marry him, I will live with her sister. I would rather not marry. Besides, she also said bad things about you, so I don't want to forgive her..."

Liu Qingluo laughed and said, "You're really thinking too far... It's too early to get married. What if you get into Wenxiu and get selected to stay in the palace?"

If she is selected to stay in the inner court as a female official, she will not be able to marry within three years.

"...That would be the best!" Li Beibei pouted, her face like a little meat bun.

Liu Qingluo pinched her cheek: "Alright, pack up, it's time to leave after breakfast."

The two packed up, went downstairs and had some breakfast in the lobby, then paid the bill and planned to leave.

Unexpectedly, when they walked out of the inn, they saw two carriages parked at the door, and Zhu Ba was sitting in one of the carriages.

All the people around walked around the carriage.

Seeing them coming out, Zhu Ba hurriedly jumped out of the carriage, a little embarrassed and said: "Miss Liu, in order to make amends for you, how about I send you to the capital? There is no one to take care of you two little girls along the way, and it is not safe."

He was a tall and strong man, he was humbled to the petite Liu Qingluo, and passers-by saw it and thought it was inconceivable.

"Apologize?" Liu Qingluo rubbed her chin and looked at Li Beibei with a half-smile.

Li Beibei blushed and said nothing.

It was clearly the excuse that Zhu Ba didn't want Li Beibei to find out, but this excuse was too bad.

Naturally, Liu Qingluo wouldn't expose them, there were people to protect them and there was a carriage, so why not do it?

If you don't agree, I'm afraid Li Beibei's little bun's face will be full of sadness and complaints along the way.

Seeing that they agreed, Zhu Ba immediately became happy, and hurriedly invited them into the first carriage, while he himself drove the second carriage.

Liu Qingluo teased: "Zhu Ba, why don't you come to drive this carriage? Wouldn't it be a waste to drive by yourself?"

Zhu Ba said awkwardly: "I'm afraid we're too close, Miss Liu, you're not happy."

This Zhu Ba is also smart, knowing that Li Beibei values ​​​​Liu Qingluo and listens to her in many things, so he tries to please her.

Liu Qingluo smiled, retreated into the carriage, and found Li Beibei sitting in a corner in a daze.

This is not like the lively and active her.

Liu Qingluo squinted at her: "Zhu Ba is right behind, if you want to go, go there."

"Would this... be bad?" Li Beibei said shyly.

Liu Qingluo didn't expect that she really wanted to go there, she was dumbfounded for a long time, and then said: "In broad daylight, what else can you do with him?"

"Hmph, then I'll go to him and tell him not to pester me in the future! I won't reconcile with his sister!" Li Beibei blushed, got out of the carriage with duplicity, and hurriedly went to the back.

"Female college students are not allowed to stay."

Liu Qingluo shook her head and sighed, took out Lin Jinyu's book from her bag, opened the place where she saw it last time, leaned in the carriage and ate Li Beibei's snacks while reading it.

The carriage suddenly shook, and she subconsciously stretched out her hand to help it, and found a hard box in her hand.

She held the box in front of her eyes, looked at it for a while, and then opened it.

A box full of silver was neatly placed inside.

There is also a letter on it, which is written by Miss Liu.

Liu Qingluo thought for a while, then opened the letter.

Sure enough, as she expected, the letter was from Zhu Ba. He said that part of the money was for his sister's consultation fee, and the other part was to ask her to help take care of Li Beibei when she was in the capital.

Liu Qingluo roughly counted, at least four or five hundred taels of silver.

This Zhu Ba is really extravagant.

No wonder her sister is always worried about other women thinking about his family property.

If Zhu Ba had such financial resources, maybe he could really make things happen with Li Beibei.

Although Li Beibei's father loved his daughter very much, he couldn't stand her stepmother as a money-grubber.

If Zhu Ba took the silver and smashed it, with a small rich man Li, he might not be able to withstand it.
