The meal lasted for a long time, Zhen kept picking up dishes for Bai Yu'an, and Shen Mingzhu next to her also pestered Bai Yu'an to talk.
Bai Yu'an never expected to receive such treatment in the Hou Mansion. Her good upbringing made her have a gentle expression even though her body hurt and her heart felt uncomfortable.
There is a slight smile in the pursed lips, and the elegance in the soft eyes will only make people want to get closer.
Shen Mingzhu smelled Bai Yu'an's good smell and looked at the soft and beautiful eyebrows. She was stunned several times and was fascinated.
Last time I felt like a fairy, and this time it looked even better and better.
The plate in front of Bai Yu'an was never empty. Shen Jue's mother was so enthusiastic that she kept holding her hand and picking up food for her. The nanny behind her stood there with nothing to do.
Originally she didn't like to talk when eating, but she did talk a lot when she was being pulled. By the time she finished the plate in front of her, she felt so full that she hadn't eaten in a long time.
Shen Jue remained silent beside him, but his silent eyes only fell on Bai Yu'an.
The expression on his face seemed to have never been shown to him before.
He stared blankly for a few times and almost lost his mind.
If she stays in the Hou Mansion after getting married and lets Mingzhu accompany her, will there be more smiles on her face.
After finishing the meal, the sky outside had darkened, and the heather gray sky became dull. Zhen took Bai Yu'an to the small hall and looked at her with fondness.
With such a gentle and generous appearance, it seems that he doesn't have much on his mind at first glance.
Mrs. Zhen has met a lot of people. If the person in front of her becomes her daughter-in-law, the family will definitely be harmonious in the future. She likes the quiet temperament the most.
The light in the room is very bright, there are several gilt candlesticks placed, the carpet on the floor is soft, there are soft cushions on the chairs, and there are fruit plates and tea cups at hand.
The figures outside the curtain were quiet, and the room was quiet and warm. Bai Yu'an looked at the kind look on Zhen's face and relaxed her body.
Even though she hated Shen Jue, the people in the Hou family really seemed to like her.
Mrs. Zhen must be in her late fifties, but her face is well-maintained and her skin is fair. It can be seen that she is a woman who has always been pampered.
Bai Yu'an let Mrs. Zhen look at her and sat slightly upright.
Suddenly, Mrs. Zhen approached Bai Yu'an, smiled and whispered in her ear: "Miss Xiao, do you like my son?"
Zhen's voice was neither too loud nor too soft. Shen Jue, who was sitting nearby, heard the movement and paused. With his careless expression, his peripheral vision fell on the white figure.
Shen Mingzhu didn't understand why her mother asked this question. There were so many women in the capital who liked her eldest brother, and there were countless women who came to her to get close to her for her eldest brother. How could anyone not like her eldest brother?
Bai Yu'an was also stunned for a moment, not expecting Zhen to suddenly ask her this.
His eyes couldn't help but fall on Shen Jue next to him, and he saw him leaning on the back of the chair with his head propped up, looking lazily, playing with jade ornaments between his fingers, his eyes lowered, as if he didn't hear what was said.
His eyes on Shen Jue only stayed for a moment. Bai Yu'an looked at Zhen, and her gentle and expectant eyes felt like a lump in his throat.
There are no words to say that I like Shen Jue.
Because there is no way to like him.
He is strong and rough, his emotions are unpredictable, he holds everything in her Bai family and threatens her, who can like such a person.
The room was surprisingly quiet, and even Shen Mingzhu looked at Bai Yu'an curiously, waiting for her answer.
Everyone in the room was looking at her, except Shen Jue.
The fingers in her sleeves tightened, Bai Yu calmed down her emotions, smiled, unable to speak, and just nodded.
When Mrs. Zhen saw Bai Yu'an nodding, her smile immediately deepened. She held Bai Yu'an's hand tighter and comforted her: "Shen Jue has been following his father in the military camp since he was a child. He has some careless habits, and he doesn't do anything lightly or lightly. ."
"But I have already reprimanded him. If he dares to bully you again in the future, you come to me and I will take you to live in a village in the suburbs for a few days to relax so that he can find no one and make him angry to death."
"Let's see if he dares to be so careless in the future."
Bai Yu'an knew that Zhen was talking about what happened just now. His face froze, and he felt ashamed again, but he still nodded with his fingers in his heart.
Naturally, Mrs. Zhen also noticed Bai Yuan's expression. She reached out and touched Bai Yuan's soft hair and sighed in a low voice: "I won't let you suffer when you marry into the Hou Mansion."
"Come here in peace, live a good life here, and give me a grandson."
"The Hou Mansion will be lively by then."
"I will not ask my daughter-in-law to take care of her morning and evening like other mothers-in-law, and to be there to serve her every day."
"Those are rules for outsiders to see. I don't like those rules."
Mrs. Zhen herself had never served her mother-in-law very often. Her father-in-law left early, a year after marrying her. Her mother-in-law was so sad that she went to live alone in the suburbs. She worshiped Buddha all day long to purify her heart. She only went to see her on time every month. Look.
It had only been a few years since her husband had been stationed there. She spent her days alone and no longer cared about the rules.
Bai Yu listened quietly and nodded quietly.
Zhen took a look outside and saw that the sky was getting dark. She patted Bai Yu'an's hand and said with a smile: "It's too late now. I'll take you back to the Earl's Mansion first. I'll talk to you after you get married. What happened when Jue'er was a child."
"Even though he is so serious now, he did a lot of ridiculous things when he was a kid."
Shen Jue pursed her lips, saw a smile on Bai Yuan's face, and whispered, "Okay."
His heart stopped, and his thoughts were all on Bai Yu'an.
Pulling Bai Yu'an to get up, Zhen held Bai Yu'an's hand and said while walking: "I just sent someone to send the post. You can go back in peace. I will bring the matchmaker to propose marriage early tomorrow morning."
"I'll come back to you then."
Bai Yu'an hummed and followed Zhen out.
Shen Jue walked behind the two of them and wanted to reach out several times to pull Bai Yuan to his side, but stopped when he saw the smile on her gentle face.
The finger that was half hanging in the air crossed the corner of her white clothes and fell down again.
When they arrived at the door, a carriage had been prepared at the door. Zhen wanted to send Bai Yu'an there in person to show that she was taking him seriously.
Seeing Bai Yuan getting on the carriage, Shen Jue was about to follow, but was stopped by Zhen who was still under the carriage: "What are you going to do?"
"What kind of decency do you see?"
Shen Jue's face turned dark. From just now to now, he and Bai Yu'an had not spoken a word, not even touched each other. Now they just left like this. He was not a good-tempered person, and he was about to get angry now.
Madam Zhen looked at Shen Jue's face that suddenly darkened, and whispered, "Please remember that you are not engaged yet, so don't let others gossip."
Shen Jue looked at her mother gloomily and said, "What gossip? She is always mine."
Madam Zhen became angry when she heard this and poked Shen Jue's chest with her fingertips: "If you continue to only care about yourself like this, don't blame Miss Xiao for hating you in the future."
"At least think about this girl's reputation."
As she spoke, Mrs. Zhen approached Shen Jue, frowned and whispered, "No wonder people are so perfunctory with you. It's not good for you to be so hot-headed. You have to go along with others and think about her in everything."
"Do you really want people to hate you?"
