Bai Yue knew nothing, and naturally couldn't tell what was wrong. He just lowered his head, offered suggestions and waited for Mrs. Jian to express herself freely.
Mrs. Jian didn't think much about it. She looked at Bai Yue's sadness and said, "Yue'er, don't think too much about it. Your parents saved the old man back then, and it was the old man who arranged for you to get married. Now that you are all old, it is natural that you have to marry him."
Keep your promise.”
Bai Yue suddenly understood. No wonder Jian Yu was displeased. It turned out that it was his elder who was forced to give his life to him in order to repay his kindness.
Bai Yue considered it carefully and said, "But I don't want to see Master Jian."
Mrs. Jian said sternly: "Marriage has always been a matter of parents' order and matchmaker. Besides, our whole family liked you very much when you came. This is fate."
"But..." Bai Yue still hesitated: "But Master Jian..."
Mrs. Jian made the final decision: "As for Mo Yi, he is just awkward and can't wipe it off his face for a while. When you get along for a long time, you will naturally know that he is a person who knows both warmth and warmth. If you marry him, he will treat you well."
Bai Yue's eyes were dark in this era. Let alone where to go after leaving here, food and clothing would be a problem. He looked at the two evils and nodded.
Anyway, there are still three years of filial piety and three years of transition, which is enough for her to understand how to integrate into the world and then decide where to go.
Bai Yue had not seen Jian Yu since he entered Jian's house. He had been chatting with the little girl all night long. When he saw that the sky was getting dark, someone knocked on the door.
The little girl who assigned her was named Peggy. She was about the same age as her. She hurriedly opened the door.
"Sister Yun'er." Peggy smiled and said, "Why are you here?"
"Is Miss Bai asleep?"
"Not yet." Bai Yue didn't have any pretense about being a young lady, so he came out of the room after looking for her.
Yun'er was holding a wooden tray in her hand, with two plates of snacks and two small bowls on it: "My wife saw that Miss Bai didn't eat much at night and was afraid of being hungry at night, so she asked the slave to bring some midnight snacks."
It was really considerate. Bai Yue thanked her, but when he saw Yun'er brought the tray in and put it on the table, she stood aside with her hands down and refused to leave.
Bai Yue asked curiously: "Is there anything else?"
Yun'er said: "Young Master, you didn't eat much tonight."
"Ah?" Bai Yue didn't understand.
Yun'er smiled and said, "I'll take my leave first."
"..." Bai Yue didn't understand. After looking at the snacks for a long time, he asked Peggy: "Yun'er, what does this mean?"
Peggy covered her mouth and smiled: "Miss, you are so smart, how come you don't understand Madam's heart?"
Bai Yue's face was blank, and he suddenly said "Oh" after a long while.
Mrs. Jian is asking her to be a good person and bring late-night snacks to Jian Yu, and then eat them together. It's so sweet that you take one bite and I take one bite...
Bai Yue suddenly had goosebumps all over his body.
Peggy nodded and looked at her with eyes full of encouragement and expectation.
Mrs. Jian deliberately arranged Bai Yue's residence in the courtyard closest to Jian Yu's Zifengxuan. It was not more than ten meters away, with the door facing the door.
The boy came out and opened the door. When he saw it was Bai Yue, he betrayed his master without hesitation.
"Miss Bai is here to deliver supper to the young master. It happens that the young master hasn't gone to bed yet." The boy turned around and pointed: "The young master is in the study, and he is still busy."
"Are you young master so busy?" Bai Yueqi asked, "It's so late."
"It's not always so busy." The boy led the way: "There is a case suddenly."
Jian Yu was not the only one in the study, Liang Meng was also there, and there was a young woman standing aside. Judging from her neat and smart clothes, she must be one of his subordinates.
Jian Yu's face wrinkled as soon as he raised his head: "Why are you here?"
Bai Yue lifted the tray in his hand.
"Bring me a midnight snack?" Jian Yu seemed to see a mouse bringing snacks to a cat: "What's your plot?"
"There is no conspiracy. Madam gave me a midnight snack. She said that you didn't eat much at night, so I came to share it with you. Thank you for helping me escape today."
Bai Yue put down the tray and saw a large desk in Jian Yu's study. There were many open folding fans on the desk, one after another, more than twenty.
On the folding fan, there are paintings of mountains, rivers, trees, breeze, hills, and moonlight over a lotus pond. Some of them contain poems, and some of them are just a few words.
What's even more special is that some of the fans have a little bit of red on them, which looks like blood stained irregularly.
Jian Yu obviously didn't believe Bai Yue's good intentions, but he had serious business at the moment and didn't want to waste time with her. He pointed casually: "Okay, let it go."
Even more so than a maid, Bai Yue reluctantly came to deliver supper because of Mrs. Jian's politeness. Seeing him like this, he didn't want to say more, put down the tray and turned to leave.
"Wait a minute." Someone called to Bai Yue.
Bai Yue turned around and saw that the woman standing at the table was speaking. When he called her to stop, he raised his chin slightly, looking arrogant and disdainful.
"Are you the young master's fiancée?" The woman came over and looked at Bai Yue.
Bai Yue smiled slightly: "Are you our servant?"
"Pfft." Liang Meng couldn't help but laugh briefly.
Lin Yi's expression suddenly changed.
"Isn't it?" Bai Yue pretended to be innocent: "I'm new here too, so please forgive me if I'm wrong."
Lin Yi took a deep breath, unwilling to lose her composure in front of Jian Yu, and suppressed her anger and said: "I am Lin Yi, and it is true that I am the young master's subordinate. But what is your identity, and you are worthy of being my master?"
"I don't know what my identity is." Bai Yue said slowly: "But at dinner just now, Madam held my hand and said, the Jian family is your home, and I and my wife are your parents. Don't
Seeing others, I think since you are Mo Yi’s subordinate, you can also be considered mine."
After saying that, Bai Yue glanced at Jian Yu: "Mo Yi, do you think I am right? If I understand it wrong, then I will ask Madam."
Both Jian Yu and his servant were filled with hatred, but no one dared to say that they were wrong. Jian Yu touched his knees for no reason and said calmly: "You are right. If you are in the house from now on, if I am not there,
You can call them on anything if you need to, and you don’t have to show up."
Lin Yi had never thought that Bai Yue, whom she hadn't seen for a few days, was so sharp-tongued. She was so angry that her face turned green. But a few days ago, Bai Yue was so angry with Jian Yu that he ran away from home. Mr. Jian lost his temper in the house.
, Jian Yu was also punished to kneel in the ancestral hall all night, and now he didn't dare to say a word, so how could she dare to confront him head-on.
Bai Yue admired everyone's expressions. He was more satisfied than if he had eaten a plate of snacks alone. He pretended to be concerned and said: "Then I will go to rest first. You should also rest early."
"Wait a minute." Just before Lin Yi was about to choke herself to death, she suddenly had a flash of inspiration: "Miss Bai."
Bai Yue turned around happily. If there are any other tricks, use them quickly.
Lin Yi Dui smiled: "These past few days, I always hear the young master praising you."
