Lanting - Kapitel 217
"A fairy?" He Yunya raised her eyebrows first, then suddenly burst into excited laughter.
"Don't laugh!" Qing Jian Yue was furious. "You vixen!"
He Yunya was even happier, laughing even more joyfully than before.
Kiyomi Tsuki was so angry that her head was burning with rage.
Zhao Yu forced a smile and comforted her, "Young Master Jianyue, I'm so sorry. Miss He heard we were going to Zhushan and wanted to come along, so I... I agreed. Please don't be angry, okay? I made your favorite snacks."
Upon hearing that it was his favorite snack, Kiyomi Tsuki immediately forgot his anger. Following the aroma of the food, he quickly found the maid, Ju'er, carrying a large, ornately decorated food box. He squatted down, sniffing the box, and burst into laughter.
Pearl thought to herself: What Grandma Cai and Young Madam Lei said is absolutely right. As long as you coax him with delicious food, he can forget everything.
Zhao Yu smiled and said, "Young Master Jianyue, I'm glad you're not angry. Shall we go to the front hall to say goodbye to my sister and brother-in-law, and then set off?"
"Okay." Qing Jianyue agreed like a good child, happily taking Miss Zhao Yu's slender hand and heading towards the front hall.
He Yunya gave a soft snort, and a sharp, cold glint flashed in her deep, dark eyes.
Upon arriving at the front hall, they bid farewell to Su Haibo and his wife. Su Haibo and his wife offered them words of advice as they saw them off. However, as soon as they stepped out of the Su residence's gate, Su Haibo, his wife, and Miss Zhao Yu were utterly astonished. Outside the gate, Lu Qingcheng, Qingfeng, and Cai Zhonghe were all there. One was haughty and gloomy; another was gentle and refined, handsome and charming; and the third was dashing and affable. To put it simply, the three most beautiful women of Lu Family Fortress were all present today.
"Honey, please don't be angry. They insisted on coming along, and there was nothing I could do about it."
Kiyomi Tsuki smiled bitterly. Feiyun emerged from the forest like a white cloud drifting in from the horizon, and the white fox ran desperately before its iron hooves. "You stinking horse, don't you dare chase me, or I'll bite off your legs!" Feiyun let out a triumphant, wicked neigh, raising its iron hooves to trample. The white fox screamed and fled.
Miss Zhao Yu stared wide-eyed in surprise, her forehead dripping with sweat, unable to utter a single word.
Kiyomi Tsuki sighed.
What was supposed to be a date for two has now turned into a large group of people. There are Lu Qingcheng, Lu Qingfeng, and Cai Zhonghe, plus two of their personal attendants, making a total of six. Then there's He Yunya and her maid, making five. And then there's Miss Zhao's maid, Zhu'er, and my attendants Huang Chong and Zhang Lang. In total, there are nineteen people.
What kind of date is this? Damn it! Yesterday I visited Miss Zhao, and there was a whole bunch of women in the house. I didn't get a single thing out of her. I was hoping to have a proper talk with her alone today, but now with this huge group of people, there's no way I'll get anything out of her. It's infuriating! What's most incomprehensible is, not only are those two following along, but why is the Lord of the Fortress also acting like they're bored and have nothing better to do?
Finally, Mrs. Su laughed first, "With the Lord of the Fortress, the Grand Lord, and Lord Cai Si following us, what do we have to worry about? Isn't that right, husband?"
“That’s true,” Su Haibo managed to squeeze out.
Beneath the wide-open gates of Lujiabao, Cai Bo'an, Lin Feng, Lei Yongxiang, Liu Xicheng, and Fang Runmin stood side by side, watching the grand procession of carriages and horses leave the city with indescribable strange expressions. In the distance, two riders galloped swiftly, one after the other, and in the blink of an eye, the rider in front blocked Qingjian Yue's horse.
The white rabbit, dressed in a dashing riding outfit, said, "Young Master Jianyue, I want to go too."
Bai Yiting reined in his horse, "Rabbit, don't be rude."
Ignoring her father's scolding, the white rabbit pleaded with Yu Qingjian Yue, "Young Master Jian Yue, please take me with you?"
"I'm on a date with my wife, what are you doing here?" Kiyomi Tsuki's sharp teeth gleamed in the sunlight.
The white rabbit pouted, "The Lord of the Fortress, the Great Lord, the Fourth Lord, and Miss Xu also went. If they can go, I can go too."
Kiyomi blinked her bright eyes, thinking to herself: That makes sense.
The white rabbit proudly picked up the large food box, "Look, these are the side dishes and snacks I made myself. There are no conditions this time, eat as much as you want."
Kiyomi Tsuki scoffed, "If I didn't allow you to come, would you give me food for free?"
"Of course not!" the white rabbit shouted angrily.
"You said there were no conditions," Kiyomi Tsuki said. "One more or one less won't make a difference. If you want to come, then come along."
The white rabbit was overjoyed, "Seeing the moon would be the best!"
And so, the group set off.
Bai Yiting watched the departing caravan, let out a long sigh, then dismounted and laughed, "You've come to see them off too?"
Lin Feng said, "The fact that Young Master Jianyue and Miss Zhao Yu went to Xiaozhushan to enjoy the snow has already caused a sensation throughout the castle. It even alarmed the castle lord, the great lord, and Lord Cai Si to personally accompany them. How could we not see them off?"
Lei Yongxiang scoffed, "Rather than saying they were accompanying the emperor, it would be more accurate to say they were there to see how Yue would make a fool of herself."
Cai Bo'an, Lin Feng, Bai Yiting, Liu Xicheng, and Fang Runmin burst into laughter.
