Chapter 556 Xiluo is getting married
Yu Qingli frowned. It seemed that Murong Feng had already agreed to cooperate with Bai Jinshu on her behalf without her knowing. What a great trick! Did he think that this would make her surrender?
Putting aside the matter of cooperation, what about the proposal of marriage?
As if sensing Yu Qingli's confusion, Bai Jinshu turned to Bai Jinqi and said, "Second brother, tell me yourself."
Bai Jinqi stood up, walked in front of Yu Qingli, and said respectfully, "Princess, ever since I last met Xiluo, I have been thinking about her all the time. I, Bai Jinqi, am a rough man, and I can't learn the cunning thoughts of those literati and scholars. So, I came to your house today to propose to Miss Xiluo! I hope that Miss Xiluo will marry me!"
"This one……"
Yu Qingli was speechless for a moment. It was amazing that the Bai family could make such a request and even think of an alliance. Could it be that this idea was also thought up by Murong Feng?
Seeing this, Bai Jinshu asked, "But what's the problem?"
Before Yu Qingli could reply, Murong Feng on the side took over and said, "What's the problem? Xiluo is just a little palace maid, while Jinqi is the second son of the prestigious Jinxiu Villa. No matter how you look at it, Xiluo is marrying above her station. What could she be dissatisfied with?"
"Your Highness is wrong. Although Xiluo is my maid, she is as close to me as a sister. She has already sworn brotherhood with me and has become my elder sister."
"Isn't this even better? It's a perfect match, and it saves us from future criticism."
Yu Qingli raised an eyebrow. "Marriage is not something to be trifled with. Xiluo has been lonely since she was little. If she can't even decide on her own marriage, wouldn't it be too unfair to her deceased parents?"
Murong Feng also showed a hint of anger when he heard this. From what Yu Qingli said, it seemed that she was dissatisfied with his proposal. Does this mean that she even disagrees with the cooperation?
"Qingli! Since you said this is Xiluo's own business, why not let her speak out herself? If she agrees, you don't have to make things difficult for her. If she disagrees, I don't think the Bai family will force her."
Although Yu Qingli disagreed in her heart, she had to admit that this was a good idea, so she immediately asked someone to notify Xiluo to come over.
Xiluo was wearing a green short-collared shirt today with a tassel ribbon of the same color tied around her waist, making her look neat and tidy.
As soon as Xiluo came in, Bai Jinqi's eyes fell on her, and the affection in his eyes was obvious. Yu Qingli sighed secretly, it seemed that Bai Jinqi was sincere to Xiluo.
It's just a pity! Their stance is wrong, otherwise, she wouldn't mind Xiluo having such a flower protector by her side.
Xiluo bowed to the people present, and then stood respectfully behind Yu Qingli.
"Xiluo, the second young master of the Bai family came to propose to you today. What do you think?"
Xiluo had just stood still when Murong Feng threw a question to her. Yu Qingli gave her a look, indicating that she didn't need to worry and just answer according to what she thought in her heart.
Xiluo lowered her eyes to hide the ripples in her eyes. To others, it seemed that she was lowering her head out of shyness.
"Xiluo, don't worry. If you don't want to, no one will dare to force you!" Murong Feng seemed to be comforting but was actually warning.
Suddenly, Xiluo raised her head, smiled at Yu Qingli and said, "Miss, I'm sorry, I'm afraid I can't continue to serve you. I have decided to agree to this marriage!"
Yu Qingli was shocked. What was going on? How could Xiluo agree to this marriage?
"Xiluo! You..."
Before Yu Qingli could say anything, Murong Feng laughed loudly and said, "Since Miss Xiluo is willing, Qingli, you must prepare for this wedding carefully!"
Yu Qingli's eyes were always on Xiluo's face, waiting for her explanation and refusal, but to her disappointment, Xiluo didn't look at Yu Qingli again from beginning to end!
In the end what happened?
Yu Qingli was a little confused, but she was very convinced of one thing. If there was no special reason, Xiluo would not agree to Bai Jinqi's ridiculous marriage. Xiluo had clearly said before that she would not get married rashly. What's more, according to Murong Yanhui, Xiluo should have a good impression of Changkong. Even if Xiluo looked down on Changkong, she would definitely not marry Bai Jinqi.
The Bai family belongs to Murong Feng, and everything Yu Qingli has always done is contrary to Murong Feng. Xiluo cannot fail to understand that once she marries into the Bai family, she will be in opposition to herself!
What exactly is going on?
At this moment, Yu Qingli felt her blood boiling, and she even felt betrayed. She had always trusted Xiluo very much and was open and honest with her. She also thought that she treated her the same way, but now, Xiluo was hiding something from her?
This feeling made Yu Qingli very unhappy!
In the eyes of Murong Feng and the Bai family, Yu Qingli's behavior was naturally interpreted as a breakdown in the master-servant relationship. Xiluo wanted to pursue a good future, but Yu Qingli seemed to disagree.
Yu Qingli calmed herself down and said in a colder voice, "Xiluo, did you do this voluntarily?"
"Yes! This servant voluntarily marries the second young master of the Bai family. From now on, my life or death has nothing to do with the young lady!"
Yu Qingli felt as if thunder had struck her head when she heard this. These words were so serious that even her heart ached. How could Xiluo, whom she had always regarded as a sister, say such cruel words?
Yu Qingli closed her eyes to hide the grief in her heart, "Alright! Since you have no objection, then I won't say anything more. Your Highness will make the final decision!"
Murong Feng smiled and said, "Alright! Leave the rest to me. Since Xiluo has no relatives, the task of officiating the wedding should be handled by my Prince's Mansion. Bai Jinqi, Qingli has already reluctantly parted ways with you. You must not let Miss Xiluo down."
"Your Highness, rest assured. The family motto of our Bai family is to never abandon your wife and children and to be loyal to your partner. Your Highness can rest assured about this."
"Qingli, you heard it too. Xiluo's choice is right. The Bai family is a rare and good family. Jinqi cares deeply about Xiluo. When she goes to the Bai family in the future, Xiluo will definitely not suffer any loss."
Yu Qingli still didn't say anything, but her eyes showed a little annoyance. Before Murong Feng finished speaking, she stood up and said goodbye.
Xiluo followed closely behind and left together, but since she had already agreed, there was naturally nothing for her to do. Murong Feng and others did not continue to try to keep her. For what happened next, it didn't make much difference whether Xiluo was there or not.
Yu Qingli returned to the courtyard, her mood slowly calming down. The initial shock had gradually faded away. After calming down, she vaguely felt that Xiluo's behavior was probably Murong Yanhui's idea.
The two returned to the room one after the other. Yu Qingli gestured for Xiluo to close the door, then lowered her voice and asked, "Xiluo, what on earth is going on?"
Xiluo knelt down on the ground, "Miss, I'm sorry. I offended you just now and made you sad."
Yu Qingli quickly helped her up, "Stand up and talk. What's going on? Don't tell me you really like Bai Jinqi and want to marry him!"
Xiluo said seriously, "Miss, although I don't like him, I have to marry him!"
"Why is that?"
Xiluo was silent for a moment. "My lady already knows that the prince wants to wipe out the Bai family, but if we act rashly, not only will the eldest prince be implicated, but my lady will also be implicated. Moreover, it would be a pity if such a large army were to be incorporated into the imperial court!"
"Could it be that Murong Yan wants to take it for herself?"
Xiluo nodded slightly. "I'm afraid that's what Your Highness meant. However, this involves an important issue. If we want to completely take over this army, we must find something that can control it. Your Highness has heard that the army in this underground city only recognizes tokens and not people! And this token is divided into two, one is in the hands of Master Bai, and the other is in the hands of His Highness!"
"So he asked you to marry Bai Jinqi and sneak into Jinxiu Villa to look for the token?"
"That's not the case. I was the one who took the initiative to ask for the token. Miss, Xiluo has been with you for a short time, but he has transformed from a cold-blooded killer into a real person. All of this was given to me by you, so I also want to do something for you."
"Xiluo, you've done enough for me. I don't want you to put yourself in danger. Besides, if you really marry Bai Jinqi, what will Changkong do?"
"Miss, Changkong knows about this matter, and he supports my decision."
"Xiluo, does this have to be you? Even if you enter the Bai family, you may not be able to find the token. Besides, Bai Jinshu seems to be extremely cautious. If you are exposed, your safety will be in danger..."
Xiluo smiled and said, "Don't worry, Miss. Life and death are determined by fate! Besides, Miss, have you forgotten what I did before? People like us cherish our lives the most!"
Seeing that she had made up her mind, Yu Qingli couldn't help feeling sad. If she could be stronger, she wouldn't have to be so controlled by others, and the people around her wouldn't have to take risks for her.
But at this point, all she can do is to assist Murong Yanhui. In fact, Murong Yanhui's decision is correct. Instead of completely eradicating the Bai family, it is better to let him use her for her own purposes.
Yu Qingli wanted to see Murong Yanhui as soon as possible. She wanted to know the specific plan and Murong Yanhui's thoughts, so she didn't even have time to eat lunch and went straight to the Beauty House.
Although Qu Linlang knew that Yu Qingli would come, she did not expect her to be so impatient and come so early. Fortunately, there was no need to make any special preparations. Moreover, as soon as Yu Qingli appeared, she had already sent someone to notify the palace.
In just a cup of tea, a tall, dark red horse appeared in Wuyi Lane. However, the man on the horse was not Murong Yanhui but Shadow Guard Changkong.
