Delicate Beauty Becomes the Beloved of Four Brothers After Her Rebirth!-Chapter 15: Irresistible Manner
Chapter 15: Irresistible Manner
Green Pearl was in disbelief. "Ah… Old Madam, this…"
No wonder Old Madam's expression changed when Miss mentioned the hairpin, Old Madam. This… As the matriarch of the house, she still had to "take" her granddaughter's items to give to others. If word got out, I'm afraid she probably does not have to go out to see anyone for the rest of her life. She would lose all her face.
Bai Xianyu, on the other hand, was very calm. Old Madam had taken a lot of things from her storeroom over the years. She thought that her brothers had given her so many things that the storeroom could not hold them all, and that she would not be discovered even if she asked the servants to take some items away.
When she was young, she was naive. Her brothers were busy, so she wanted to receive some love from her grandmother. Didn't the Teacher say that one should not take advantage of others? She thought that if she allowed her grandmother to take the items away as an expression of her goodwill, her grandmother could dote on her more.
Now she would not be so na?ve.
…
Eldest Princess's residence.
The Eldest Princess was the younger sister of the current Emperor and also Xie Xingyun's mother. After she married the Marquis of the Northern Garrison, she still had her own princess residence. After the Marquis of the Northern Garrison passed away, the Eldest Princess returned to the princess residence.
Xie Xingyun liked peace and quiet. When he was in school, he went to the Northern Garrison Marquis Manor alone.
"Young Master, you're here. The Eldest Princess is waiting for you in Jing'an Hall."
Xie Xingyun nodded.
After passing through the veranda pond, Xie Xingyun came before Eldest Princess Jing An.
"Mother."
Eldest Princess Jing An smiled and said, "My son is really getting more and more handsome. Come and take a look. Many people have sent me portraits of their daughters these few days. They want to be your wife."
In front of the desk, there were some pictures of beauties scattered everywhere. All of them were beautiful and graceful.
Xie Xingyun did not move. "I've already selected one."
Eldest Princess Jing An was slightly stunned. "I thought that you were an ignorant person. I didn't expect that you already have a sweetheart? Which family is she from?" 𝐛𝗲𝗱𝐧𝐨𝘃𝗲𝗹.𝐜𝐨𝐦
"Kingdom-Stabilizing General's Manor, Bai Xianyu."
Eldest Princess Jing An subconsciously frowned. "Bai Xianyu… do you actually like this kind?"
"Yeah."
The Eldest Princess, who was wearing a palace dress, thought for a while. "It's not impossible."
"But I don't know if her marriage has already been arranged. I'll make a trip there to find out when I've prepared a gift."
Xie Xingyun, "Thank you for your help, Mother."
…
"Have you heard? The rankings were released today. The Young Marquis of the Northern Garrison Marquis Manor is in first place!"
"Truly impressive. Throughout history, there's only one person who became the first of the six yuan! I'm afraid Xie Xingyun is going to be the second person!"
"When the Young Marquis returns to the residence later, he will pass by here. Can you help me see if my clothes and accessories are presentable?"
"…"
Bai Xianyu lifted the curtain of the carriage. It was boisterous, but every word was about Xie Xingyun.
"Miss, we have arrived at the shop."
Bai Xianyu responded, lifted her dress, and got out of the carriage.
Suddenly, the sound of horse hooves approached from afar, and a tall and handsome man stopped not far from her.
Xie Xingyun held the reins in his hand and looked at her with a pair of sharp eyes. Their gazes met in the air, and there seemed to be a rich color of black ink surging through his eyes, making one's heart tremble.
A moment later.
Bai Xianyu watched as Xie Xingyun retracted his gaze from her and looked at the Chinese rose on his right hand.
It was a fresh Chinese rose, as if it had just been plucked. The sunlight refracted on the sparkling water droplets. His strong fingertips touched the soft petals slowly, squeezing them heavily and then lightly.
According to the customs of the Great Kui, if the woman accepted the man's flower in public, their parents could discuss the marriage in the days to follow.
For some reason, she had the thought of fleeing.
Xie Xingyun stroked the petals one last time and looked up at her. His gaze was filled with a strong sense of invasion.
Bai Xianyu subconsciously took a step back.
In the next moment, with the screams of passers-by, the Chinese rose pierced through the air and inserted itself into her hair in a manner which could not be resisted.
The hairpin she was originally wearing had already fallen to the ground with a crisp sound.
