227 Soft and Pitiful (1)
The handsome young man stood at the edge of the ship, and the girl's soft voice reached his ears word for word.
Xie Xingyun stood in the wind and looked in Bai Xianyu's direction for two seconds. He resigned himself to fate and took out a recipe book.
"Pen."
Xiao Zheng took a pen and bent down to hand it to him.
He watched as his Young Master raised his pen and added pineapple crisps on the first page of the recipe book.
When everything was ready, Gu Yu also arrived, with bottles and jars tied to him, walking with a clanking sound. The medicine box could barely be covered, but even so, his other hand was still free. He held a fan and fanned himself suavely.
He chose a place where he could see the sunlight and picked out the herbs and Gu, letting them bask in the sun.
Most of the people living on the two ships were guards of the Xie and Bai families. After Gu Yu tidied up, he saw Xiao Zheng walking and lecturing.
Everyone kept quiet out of fear. n/ô/vel/b//jn dot c//om
"…I hope you know what to say and what not to say."
"If you gossip behind my back and secretly spread the news…"
Xiao Zheng picked up a leaf and clenched it gently. The thick green liquid dripped onto the deck, and the leaf was instantly crushed. "You will end up like this leaf."
"Yes!"
Gu Yu also knew Xiao Zheng. Xiao Zheng was originally sent by the Prince of Nanzhao to Xie Xingyun.
He smiled and placed his hand on his shoulder. Xiao Zheng turned around and said in surprise, "Why are you here too?"
"Taking a free ride. What are you admonishing about? What can be said and what cannot be said? Do tell me about it."
Xiao Zheng glanced at everyone. "Continue patrolling."
"Yes, Commander Xiao!"
"Isn't Fifth Miss Bai here too? I told them not to spout nonsense, in case there's another uproar in the city."
Gu Yu raised his eyebrows. "Bai Xianyu is here too. Where is she?"
"There." Xiao Zheng gestured to the ship on his left with his eyes.
When Gu Yu saw this, he nodded and said in puzzlement, "Then, with your Young Master's relentless pursuit, he actually didn't stay on the same ship as her. Has he changed?"
15:53
Xiao Zheng said seriously, "Young Master did not pursue her relentlessly. A fair lady is a gentleman's match."
As he spoke, he paused and whispered, "But it's not that Young Master doesn't want to go there. It's just that Fifth Miss Bai's brother is also on that ship."
Just as he finished speaking, a deep gaze shot over.
Xiao Zheng and Gu Yu froze at the same time.
Bai Jingyuan stood with his hands behind his back and frowned, as if he could hear their conversation.
"Is this Bai Xianyu's brother?"
Gu Yu asked softly.
"Yes, his name is Bai Jingyuan. You can address him as Lord Bai."
Gu Yu looked at Bai Jingyuan and silently broke out in cold sweat for Xie Xingyun. It seemed like he still had a long way to go in wooing his wife.
If he remembered correctly, Bai Xianyu had four older brothers, right?
If Bai Xianyu was bullied by him in the future, even if Xie Xingyun's family background was prominent, it would be enough for him to suffer.
Thinking of this, Gu Yu gloated.

Bai Xianyu's house was tidied up. The lights floated on the red candles with the water.
She put on the jade pendant that her mother had left for her and wore it back to Jiangnan. It could be considered as bringing her mother home.
After boarding the ship, the dark clouds began to spread. When they boarded the ship, there was already a faint sound of thunder.
Bai Xianyu opened the window. The river reflected the gloomy sky, which was like a pool of black water.
Opposite her, Xie Xingyun happened to open the window.
Bai Xianyu, "…"
She closed it silently again, but the two ships were side by side. No matter which one she opened, it was facing Xie Xingyun's position.
Bai Xianyu thought for two seconds before opening the window.
After Xie Xingyun opened the window, he did not do anything else. He crossed his arms and leaned against the window. His dark golden wrist guards were fastened all the way to his knuckles, and his fingers were long and strong.
Seeing that she still opened the window after a while of fiddling, the corners of his lips curled up slightly.
Bai Xianyu turned her back to the window and started to eat. Bai Jingyuan had bought her ten servings of each item, which was enough for her to eat till she got off the ship.
Xie Xingyun glanced at the thing in her hand and sighed almost imperceptibly. He turned around and walked to the center of his room.
There was a round table in the middle, a yellowed book that had been turned over, a dough, and various ingredients.
He unfastened his wrist guard, rolled up his sleeve, and flipped a page with his long fingers. He frowned in thought.
…
Late at night.
Bai Xianyu felt a little uncomfortable after dinner. She thought that she had eaten too much, so she stood up to walk.
However, the more she walked, the more she felt suffocated. It was as if someone had stuffed a ball of tattered cotton wool into her chest. She also felt nauseous.
