For some reason, the surrounding residents habitually wanted to take a small step back to prevent themselves from being involved in the strange incident. No one knew what would happen if a noble suddenly appeared in such a place.
"Excuse me, are you His Highness Kunan?”
The leader spoke.
"You are?" She took a step forward, not afraid of the other party's gaze.
"We are the subordinates of the Xiu Mu family. We have come under the orders of the Xiu Mu family's head, Lord Xiu Mu Bai Zai, to present an invitation letter.”
As soon as he finished speaking, someone respectfully handed over washi letter.
She was a little surprised.
"Invitation?"
He continued to explain,"Please come to the residence temporarily and attend Lord Bai Zai's revelation banquet in the coming week. Wedding ceremony)."
She put on a subtle smile and weighed her words." Ah, of course I'll attend the party, but if I stay for a while…"
"Lord Bai Zai also said that you must read this before making a decision.”
She looked at the envelope in her hand.
She had only received such a luxurious letter when Zhenyang Spiritual Academy had written her an admission letter. However, compared to this, she was more concerned about the reason for the letter.
Xiu Mu Bai Zai did not seem like a talkative person. Not at all. She guessed that if he could, he would never say another word.
"Is this…a handwritten letter?"
She opened the letter. The contents were very simple, only a few lines. However, after glancing at these few lines, she changed her mind.
The man opposite her lowered his head and waited for her reply. She put away the letter, stuffed it into her lapel, and nodded at him.
"Please tell Captain Xiu Mu that thanks for the invitation. I'll go over and disturb you tonight."
"Yes, sir."
After the Xiu Mu family's retainers bowed, they came forward to pick up her luggage. It turned out that they had sent so many people with other intentions…Was Xiu Mu Baizai sure that she would agree to his request? Now that he said it, he felt a little angry.
Hai Qing put her hand on her shoulder in confusion. She couldn't be more surprised."You want to stay at Xiu Mu's house?"
This was the first time she had looked him in the eye.
"Yes, the situation has changed."
A moment later.
Jingling Court, in front of Xiumu Mansion.
While she was traveling from the White Dao Sect to the depths of the Tranquil Spirit Pavilion in the carriage, she didn't have the time to do anything else. The Xiu Mu family's people were extremely quiet, not even revealing a single word. Clearly, they were loyal servants who had received a very professional education in secrecy. Although she didn't want to get any meaningful information from them…
After an unknown period of time, the carriage slowly came to a stop. The coachman took down the wooden stool hanging from the beam and respectfully placed it on the ground so that she could come down from the high ground.
Immediately after, a few female attendants who were responsible for welcoming guests walked out from the tall mansion opposite and lined up in a row. The outermost person brought a tray of towels folded like tofu for her to wipe her hands. The others took the items from the hands of the few retainers who followed her and walked into the courtyard.
The last woman with a sweet voice bowed to her.
She had never seen such a grand display of power. Even the Xiu Mu family, one of the four great noble families, was a little too exaggerated.
"This is…"
Her hesitation was quickly interrupted by the maid.
"Please come in, Miss Jiu Nan. I will inform Lord Bai Zai. Please rest in the courtyard for the time being.”The other party skillfully opened his right hand and turned to leave.
Joe nodded. A moment later, he seemed to have thought of something and bowed slightly."Thank you!"
The etiquette of a noble. She did not realize that Ji Zi had already taught her these things. Words, manners, clothing, and expressions had unknowingly, without exception, been taught to her by the subtle influence of life.
" You didn't expect this day to come, did you?"
"That's why he taught me so many things that I couldn't use in Flowing Soul Street.”
Miss Ji…
She felt her nose sting and quickly closed her eyes to hide her abnormality. She couldn't cry at this time. It was too embarrassing.
Suddenly, a clear and bright voice came from behind.
"Good morning."
She immediately turned around to look for the source of the voice, only to see a smiling woman standing alone in the corridor. She was wearing a pale red plum blossom embroidered sleeve that was obviously of great value. Her black hair was neither long nor short, embellished on both sides of her cheeks, messy and a little delicate.
However, this woman did not have the usual sense of distance that other noble women often had. Instead, she was like a girl next door, full of vitality.
Joe was captivated by her beauty just by standing there.
Not only was she beautiful, but at that moment, she also read more information without any warning. The amount of information was so large that she could not react for a moment.
It was only when she came back to her senses that she realized her recklessness.
"Ah, good morning! Um, you are…"
"I am Fei Zhen."
Her voice was very, very gentle, but her breath was lacking. Qiao guessed that she was probably not in good health.
"Lord Fei Zhen? The lady who was Captain Xiu Mu's fiancée? This is really rude." She quickly apologized." I'm Jiu Nanqiao, the one Captain Xiu Mu invited to his wedding.”
Fei Zhen did not put on airs at all." There's no need to be so polite. I heard from Lord Bai Zai that you're going to stay at home for a while, right? Please take care of me in the future."”
What a…gentle person.
When he thought about how she had struggled to get here, Joe was amazed by her tenacity. The slums of Liuhun Street were no ordinary place, and Fei Zhen did not seem to have enough strength to protect herself. It was already a miracle that she could stand in front of him unscathed.
"I am, please take care of me…"
During the conversation, Qiao did not dare to look Fei Zhen in the eye. However, she realized that Fei Zhen's face gave her a strong sense of familiarity. As for where the intimacy came from, she did not dare to make a decision for a moment.
"Perhaps it's a little abrupt, but can you please not use such unfamiliar honorifics with me?”While she was thinking, Fei Zhen signaled her not to be formal.
"Eh?"
Joe did not quite understand what she meant.
"Although I've decided to marry into Xiu Mu's family, I'm still from Flowing Soul Street. Only when I see you can I remember where my hometown is.”
As Fei Zhen said this, the smile on her face slowly faded. Melancholy was like a layer of pale yellow gauze that gently covered her face, as if God had given her the entire sunset sky.
