Zhu Bamei was stunned for a moment when she learned about Prince Li's engagement from Li Qingyi.

But thinking about it, he is not young anymore and it is indeed time for him to get engaged.

Since she rejected him, he should be engaged to someone else.

The eldest maid Qiu Ling looked at Zhu Bamei's expression, fearing that she would do something impulsive after reading the letter.

Fortunately, Zhu Bamei didn't confiscate anything. She didn't even inquire about Miss Yao, and only replied to Li Qingyi with "Congratulations."

The eldest maid Qiu Ling breathed a sigh of relief.

The four maids who were serving closely knew what had happened between Zhu Bamei and Young Master Li. Although they later chose Young Master Rong Qi, they were actually afraid that Zhu Bamei would miss him.

Only when the master is well can they, those who serve him closely, follow suit.

The Zhu family has long had a rule that a man can only take a concubine if he is 40 years old and has no children. Although there are no hard and fast rules when a girl gets married, she probably does not want to have a maid who is close to serve as a concubine.

As Zhu Bamei is about to get married, the four maids are also thinking about what will happen in the future - should they choose a suitable person to marry, or should they become maids?

…

Not willing to give in, still not willing to give in after all.

Mr. Li quietly handed over a letter, saying that he wanted to see Zhu Bamei one last time.

However, what disappointed him was that the person in the box was not Zhu Bamei, but Zhu San.

His eyes were bleak, his heart turned to ice, it was so cold.

"Sir Zhu..."

Mr. Li stood up and saluted.

Zhu San raised his hand: "Private matters, there is no need for this."

"yes."

After sitting down, Zhu San stared at Mr. Li and looked up and down.

This was not the first time they had met, and Zhu San still recognized Mr. Li's handsome appearance.

Most of the Zhu family members are good-looking, and they take it for granted, and they like to look at good-looking people more often.

Zhu San was not surprised that Zhu Bamei would take a liking to Mr. Li's appearance. I can't say that Rong Qi is not good, I can only say that he is a little immature. Maybe if you give him some time, he will blossom into his own glory.

"I think you have already guessed my purpose of coming."

"……yes."

Zhu San said slowly: "I still believe in Mr. Li's character, and I won't talk to you anymore. To be honest, I was a little disappointed when I saw your letter again. I thought this

The matter has been settled. Now that it has been settled, there should be no more trouble."

"I have no other intention, I just want to... see her again." Mr. Li did not say the last two words.

"You two are already engaged, so what's the point of seeing each other again?"

The unwilling Master Li clenched his fists slightly.

Zhu San did not let him go: "You are a man and a person who does important things. Don't you know how much harm it will do to a woman if the news of this matter leaks out? Have you not thought about it, if her husband's family

If you know, how will you look at her?"

"If that man cannot even achieve basic trust, he is not worthy of marrying her."

"Ha! It's easy for you to say. Can you tolerate your future wife having a relationship with another man? Even if you don't mind, what about your family? What will you do if there are rumors flying everywhere? What will your future wife do?

?”

Mr. Li opened his mouth, wanting to say that he would not let any information leak out, but in the end he did not say it.

Because what Zhu San said was "if this matter leaks out."

If he can make sure that he doesn't mind, how can he make sure that his family doesn't mind?

Just like he likes Miss Zhu Ba and wants to marry her, but for the sake of his family...

"There is no airtight wall in the world. As the brother, I don't want any accidents to happen." Zhu San said, "We are all brothers, and we all have a sister who we love very much. I think you should understand my feelings and understand.

All the efforts I made to prevent accidents, right?”

"...Understood." Apart from explaining clearly, what else did he say?

"Master Li, life is not perfect. If you can't make the other person happy, you have to learn to let go and bless the other person. Seeing the other person happy is also a blessing, isn't it?"

"……yes."

…

When Zhu San left, he burned the cover in front of Mr. Li, leaving nothing in the hands of others.

He was used to being cautious. If he could untie Mr. Li, he would not forge a fate without forming a bond. But if he really couldn't untie him, he didn't want to leave the choice in the hands of the other party.

Especially matters between men and women are particularly sensitive to a woman's reputation.

Zhu Bamei is already "out of line" and has been involved with other men before. This will happen again...

No matter how generous a man is, he will probably have a knot in his heart.

Zhu San didn't want to plant this knot in Rong Qi's heart.

A few days later, Rong Qi was approached by Zhu San for a drink. They talked about things between men and women, as if she was afraid that Rong Qi would "sorry" Zhu Bamei.

"The eighth sister has been spoiled by us since she was a child. She has a straight temper and can't speak. She may offend someone at any time. I hope my sister-in-law will be more considerate in the future and don't argue with her. It goes in with the left ear and goes out with the right ear. Don't worry.

Keep it in mind..."

Rong Qi:... Third brother, what did you say? Miss Eight is so sharp-tongued and yet she can’t speak. Are you afraid there won’t be any misunderstanding?

"You don't know, my eighth sister was very wild when she was a child. She dared to fight boys in the village for us, our elder brothers. Our family was poor at that time..."

Rong Qi:?! No, Miss Eight is so powerful?! I can’t see it, I really can’t see it... Then it seems that I have to be more careful in the future and don’t cause trouble with her. What if I start a fight? Lose the fight.

It would be embarrassing to win.

"We are from mud-legged backgrounds. Although we have studied for several years, we are not as scholarly as my sister-in-law, and we are a bit weaker. The books that my eighth sister read, the rules that she learned... I'm afraid, I'm afraid that she will...

She was disliked by her husband's family as soon as she entered the house. The rules in our house are different from those outside, so I was afraid that she would only learn a superficial lesson and frighten only family members but not outsiders."

Rong Qi: You think too much. Our ancestors were still slaves, and even now there are still some slaves. Don’t dislike anyone.

…

"The Eighth Sister does things out of line and fails to learn the rules. The gossip outside has changed after passing by. It can be said that one person can make a trip and three people can make a tiger... If there is a little, you feel uncomfortable and can't tolerate the Eighth Sister. It's still troublesome.

You send him back safely." After drinking, Zhu San was already drunk, grabbing Rong Qi's hand and chattering.

It is said that the Zhu family is used to being hurt all their lives, and I am afraid they will be hurt for the rest of their lives.

Whatever Zhu Bamei didn't do well, it was all because of them.

They allowed Rong Qi to "teach" again, but if one day the Rong family could no longer accommodate him, or Zhu Bamei wanted to return to her parents' home, they would trouble Rong Qi to send him back properly.

The Zhu family allows a sister-in-law who is sent home, but cannot have a sister-in-law who is "bullied" severely.

Rong Qi:...Brother-in-law, stop drinking, you’re already like this!

With a headache, he called the boy next to Zhu Qi, helped him into the carriage, and sent him back to Zhu's house safely before leaving.

On the way back, the young man Fugui sighed and said that he didn't expect Master Zhu to look so majestic outside, but when he got home, he would treat girls like eyeballs.

Rong Qi said nothing.
