630 You have to apologize

This was the most popular temple near Northern City. There were many visitors every day, so a dining area for vegetarian meals was specially built.

There was only one grand hall, which had more than 20 tables. Everyone was treated equally in the hall. There were no private rooms, so the meals were the same.

The dishes were all vegetarian and not expensive.

However, it was also because of this that the diners were basically commoners or the madams and young ladies of small families.

Xi Rui and the other two sat at one table, while the maidservants and manservants sat at another.

“I heard that the vegetarian food in this temple is good. I just ordered all the dishes. Baili, Erlang, try it.”

“It’s just the three of us,” Xiao Baili said with a smile. “Are we able to finish it?”

Although she was now a young lady of an official’s family, she was still more diligent and thrifty and did not like to be wasteful.

Xiao Baili didn’t know that this habit of hers had also made Madam Tu and several other ladies of the aristocratic families in Northern City secretly curse her for being petty.

Xi Rui used to like extravagance in the capital, but ever since he came to Northern City and spent a long time with Xiao Hanzheng’s family, many of his habits had become the same as those of the Xiao family.

“I brought Great White with me,” he said with a smile. “We’ll give him whatever we can’t finish. It’s not a waste.”

Great White was his goose, so he had to bring him along wherever he went. They had an especially close relationship.

Xiao Baili knew that Great White not only liked to eat human food but that he also had a huge appetite.

Thus, she nodded. “With Great White around, we don’t have to worry about wasting it.”

The food here is vegetarian, so they weren’t afraid of Great White getting a stomachache.

Xi Rui’s face was full of pride. “That’s right. I’m definitely the best in this aspect.”

In Shi Qingluo’s words, his goose wasn’t good at doing other things, but he was the best at eating.

However, even if he couldn’t do anything else, he still liked his goose.

Their conversation was overheard by Tu Lihuan and the others who were walking over.

The few of them were speechless.

On one hand, they felt that Xiao Baili was too petty.

She was already a young lady of an official’s family; her sister-in-law was a princess, and her future stepfather was a prince, but she was actually afraid of wasting food. Even if she ordered all the vegetarian food here, it would not cost much.

On the other hand, they felt that after he hung out with Shi Qingluo for so long, Xi Rui’s actions were also difficult to explain in a few words.

He was clearly the most favored young master of the public administration house and the number one playboy in the capital, but now he was accompanying Xiao Hanzheng’s younger brother and sister to this kind of embarrassing place for vegetarian food.

They had only come because they had to make Tu Lihuan look good. Otherwise, they wouldn’t have chosen to dine in with a group of lowly commoners together.

Tu Lihuan looked at Xiao Baili and Xi Rui talking and laughing, and he felt a little displeased.

This woman was not only petty, but she was also eating and joking with a man outside. It was outrageous.

Although the people in the north were more open-minded, not to mention Xiao Baili and Xi Rui, who were eating in the hall with her younger brother and their servants, even if a man and a woman were to eat together alone, as long as they brought along their servants, no one would say anything.

However, Tu Lihuan’s personality was more overbearing, and as a man, he had more opinions on this. He didn’t like that his future wife was like this.

However, he did not show it on his face.

He looked at the three of them in surprise. “Young Master Xi, Young Master Xiao, Young Lady Xiao, all of you are here to offer incense too!”

Seeing Tu Lihuan’s appearance, Xiao Baili sneered in her heart. It was just as her sister-in-law had expected.

She didn’t show it on her face. She also seemed to be very surprised. “Young Master Tu, you’re here to offer incense too?”

She gave an expression that suggested, you have also came here to offer incense?

Tu Lihuan had a helpless look on his face, but he still said, in a pampering tone, “My younger sister and her friends wanted to come and offer incense, so I could only accompany her here.”

He was acting like a doting brother.

Tu Yujiao didn’t want to offer any incense, but she knew that her brother wanted to marry Xiao Baili.

Although she didn’t like Xiao Baili very much, her mother said that only if her brother married Xiao Baili could their family’s situation change, so she didn’t show her dislike on her face.

Ever since she had attended the buffet dinner organized by Shi Qingluo and met Prince Yi, her mind was filled with Prince Yi.

She had also found an opportunity to meet him once, but Prince Yi didn’t recognize her and ignored her.

Therefore, she also supported her brother to get Xiao Baili, and then she would have more opportunities to spend more time with Prince Yi.

She wanted to find a chance to make Prince Yi fall in love with her, abandon that old woman, and marry her.

As long as she could be Prince Yi’s consort, there would be no need for Xiao Baili to help the family.It was enough for her to back the Tu family up.

She looked at Xiao Baili with a coquettish face and said with a smile, “That’s right, I went out with my friends to come and offer incense today, but I didn’t expect to meet SIster XIao here.”

Xiao Baili had been taught by Shi Qingluo for a long time. She was no longer the weak little girl who didn’t know how to read people’s minds.

She saw that Tu Yujiao’s face was full of smiles, and she was pretending to be coy, but there was no smile in her eyes. It was obvious that this girl did not like her.

Xiao Baili showed a faint smile. “Hello, Miss Tu.”

“From what I remember, Miss Tu seems to be a few months older than me. I really don’t dare to be your sister.” She changed the topic.

Tu Yujiao choked. The smile on her face was almost gone. “Really? ”

For the sake of achieving her goal, she was quick-witted and smiled apologetically. “I’m sorry, I didn’t know about this.”

Xiao Baili found that she was very scheming. If she were any other young lady from an aristocratic family, she might have already left and exit the conversation.

For example, the two young ladies beside Tu Yujiao had angry expressions on their faces. They were obviously dissatisfied with what she had said.

She smiled at Tu Yujiao. “I don’t blame you for not knowing and I don’t mean to blame you, Miss Tu.”

Of course, Tu Yujiao was not happy, but she still smiled and said, “It’s good that Sister Xiao doesn’t blame me.”

...

Xiao Baili was a little tired of her attitude. They don;t know each other well, and she didn’t like her but was still pretending that she did. It was unnecessary.

Her sister-in-law had told her that she could be willful with anyone she didn’t like. With her and Xiao Hanzheng backing her up, she didn’t have to be afraid of offending anyone.

Xiao Baili looked at Tu Yujiao helplessly and said, “Miss Tu, I don’t think we know each other. I don’t deserve to be your sister.”

She didn’t like Tu Yujiao. She was too fake, so she didn’t want to pretend to be nice.

This time, Tu Yujiao could no longer maintain her smile. She was lost for words.

She wasn’t the only one. Even Lihuan’s smiling face stiffened.

The little sister that he had doted on so much had actually been put in a difficult position by Xiao Baili.

A farmer’s daughter was a farmer’s daughter; she really wasn’t capable of attending any formal gathering.

If it weren’t for the fact that he still needed Xiao Baili, he would have already left with his sister after saying a few sarcastic words to her.

It wasn’t appropriate for him to speak at this time, so he glanced at the few people beside him. He believed that these people would take action on behalf of him.

The few people he had called over today were all from the large aristocratic families of Northern City. Usually, because of their high status and background, they were particularly arrogant.

...

He had originally wanted to bring a few people with him and take the initiative to find trouble with Xiao Baili. He would then help Xiao Baili resolve the problem and win her favor.

Now, these people could also help his sister vent her anger.

Sure enough, a young lady standing next to Tu Yujiao looked at Xiao Baili unhappily and said, “Who do you think Jiaojiao is? If she can lower her status to greet you, it means she thinks highly of you. You’re too rude.”

“That’s right, you’ve gone too far. You have to apologize to Jiaojiao,” the other young lady said with a dark expression.
