Guo Fu and Ye Lui Qi chatted and laughed along the way. When they reached Xiangyang, the soldiers guarding the city saw them and quickly opened the city gate to let them in. Guo Fu tied up her horse and returned to the Flower Hall with Ye Lui Qi. However, when they reached the entrance of the Flower Hall, the Beggar's Sect's disciples saw the two of them with strange expressions. It was as if they wanted to say something but could not. However, when they saw Guo Fu, they wanted to say something but stopped.
Guo Fu felt a little strange. She was a straightforward person, so she pulled the disciple and said,""What do you mean? His expression was strange. What exactly happened?”
At this moment, a young girl jumped out of the house. She was dressed in Khitan makeup. Although her appearance could not be said to be stunning, she was still a charming and moving young girl. Moreover, she was delicate and pitiful. Her slender waist was also quite moving. That young girl threw herself into Ye Lui Qi's arms and said,""Brother Qi, I've been looking for you for a long time.”
Guo Fu was shocked. At this moment, Ye Lui Yan also chased after her,""Big Brother, I really couldn't hold Big Sister Zhu 'er back. As soon as she heard that you were coming, she insisted on coming to look for you.”
Ye Lui Qi pushed the young girl away and asked curiously,""Miss Xiao, why are you here? Where are Uncle and Auntie?"
"I've been engaged to you since I was young," the girl cried."Who else could I have come to if not you?"”
Ye Lui Yan quickly pulled Guo Fu aside,""Sister Fu, don't be angry. There's a misunderstanding here. Don't worry, I'll tell you about it slowly.”
Guo Fu saw that Ye Lui Yan was somewhat annoyed by that woman, and also saw that Ye Lui Qi did not have any feelings for that woman. She had already guessed 70 - 80% of it and said with a cold smile,""No need. Let her say it herself."
"Brother Qi and I were engaged since we were young. Who are you?" the woman sobbed. Why are you so intimate with Brother Qi?"
Ye Lui Qi hurriedly said," Miss Xiao, when I was practicing martial arts by the Wo Nan River, I was indeed on good terms with your brother. However, I only have feelings for you as a brother and sister. The so-called engagement is even more out of the question. Please have some self-respect."”
Xiao Zhu 'er cried,"I know you're a heartless person. You changed your heart when you saw that other people's parents were better looking than me."”
Guo Fu saw that Ye Lui Qi's expression did not seem to be fake and sneered,""How did a girl like you find this place? Who brought you here?"
A voice said,"I brought her here so that Miss Guo wouldn't know that Ye Lui Qi was unfaithful and fell into this guy's trap."”Guo Fu looked towards the source of the voice and saw a man in his thirties. He was waving a folding fan in his hand and looked elegant. It was Huo Du.
It turned out that Ye Lui Qi had grown up by the Wo Nan River and had gotten to know some local children. One of them was a boy named Xiao Cheng who had a good relationship with Ye Lui Qi. When Ye Lui Chucai heard that Xiao Cheng was from the Xiao family of the Liao Dynasty, he was very happy and the two families became friends. Ye Lui Qi was only a seven or eight-year-old boy at that time. He only liked to play with boys. He vaguely remembered that Xiao Cheng had a girl who always liked to play with them. However, everyone was still young at that time and didn't know how to appreciate others. They only felt that girls were weak and didn't know how to play, so they probably didn't like to bring girls along to play. After all, Ye Lui Qi was a bit more composed, and would sometimes advise the other boys: " If we leave a little girl alone like this, wouldn't it be a sin if something happened to her?" Therefore, he took extra care of the little girl. Who would have thought that such a disaster would happen today?
Guo Fu knew that Ye Lui Qi would not lie, not to mention that her father had met Princess Hua Zheng back then, and now she and her mother were still loving husband and wife. Therefore, he didn't really care. He turned to Huo Du and asked,"Aren't you the Mongolian prince? What are you doing here?"
"Didn't Brother Yang tell you?" Huo Du asked in surprise. I offended my master because of you, and now I no longer serve Mongolia.”
"You offended the Imperial Advisor because of me?" Guo Fu asked doubtfully.”
Huo Du then told them about how he had been ordered to guard the north side of the Mongolian camp, and how he had released Guo Fu, Ye Lui Qi, Yang Guo, and the others. Guo Fu looked at his expression and did not seem to be faking it. Her tone also softened,"Then why did you bring this girl along?”
Huo Du waved his folding fan and said," On my way to Xiangyang, I accidentally met this woman who was looking for her husband. I saw that she was young and beautiful, but she didn't know any martial arts. I was afraid that she would be in danger, so I escorted her all the way. Do you have any other intentions?" Miss Guo was so suspicious of Xiao Wang, which made Xiao Wang sad.”
Guo Fu stared at Huo Du carefully, but she could not see any flaws. She turned to Xiao Yizhu and asked,""Miss Xiao, you said you have a marriage agreement with Brother Ye Lui?”
The girl stopped crying and took out a piece of jade from her bosom."This was personally given to me by Old Madam Ye Lui. Brother Qi, this can't be fake, right?”
Ye Lui Yan looked at the piece of jade and his expression changed. This piece of jade was indeed Ye Lui Chu Cai's wife's personal item. He couldn't help but ask in a trembling voice,""Brother, this jade?"
When Ye Lui Qi saw this jade, he was also shocked. If this woman was lying, why was this jade in her hands? Could it be that his mother had secretly promised the Xiao family something? After all, the Ye Lui family was a descendant of the Liao Kingdom. If they married a Mongolian woman, their parents would naturally not like it. The Xiao family was a noble descendant of the Liao Kingdom, so their parents would most likely like it. Yelu Chucai was deeply influenced by Confucianism, if there was really an engagement, it would not be so easy to break off the engagement. Moreover, this girl had traveled all the way from Mongolia to the Great Song to follow him. Could he just abandon her? However, he thought,[Before my father died, he asked me to follow Guo Fu to the Great Song and asked me which girl I liked. Naturally, he had the intention of helping me. My father obviously doesn't know about this. Then, how can I explain this?]
Huo Du continued,"Miss Guo, Young Master Ye Lui already has a wife who was arranged by his parents. Are you willing to be a concubine?"”
