Chapter 678 It’s All Fate

Before he finished speaking, he was interrupted, "I'd like to remind you that my cousin's surname is Duan and your surname is Ma. We are not related.

Along with the quarrel here, Zhang Yishan looked at the people around her and realized that Ma Juan was not here, so she quickly got up and walked to the corner door.

The corner gate of the garden is connected to the small garden in the front yard, and a pomegranate tree is planted on both sides of the gate.

At this time, the trees were full of flowers and it was really nice to see, but because it was too close to the front yard, I didn’t want to get into trouble, so I didn’t go there.

Zhang Yishan had been sitting and chatting with everyone under the grape vines. She had just asked someone to go to the kitchen to bring some fruit tea. Suddenly, she heard an argument next to the pomegranate tree.

As the host, it is her duty to take care of her guests.

When she walked over quickly, she found that the corner door had been opened. Ma Juan was standing under the pomegranate tree with red eyes, her orange dress was surrounded by pomegranate flowers. In this scene, she was really more delicate than flowers.

"what happened?"

When hosting a banquet at home, the most annoying thing is when the guests run around unruly.

Ma Juan already had a problem, and she helped solve it. Thinking that she could finally be at peace, she didn't expect that in the blink of an eye, she was the one who had the problem again.

Looking at her red eyes, she seemed to have been frightened, and there was a pomegranate flower on her bun.

Not far from her, stood Xie Yu and several young men from her junior brothers.

No need to ask, this is a collision.

When Xie Yu saw Zhang Yishan coming over, she opened the fan.

"Sister, your guest seems to have lost his way. Since you are here, please take him away. We gentlemen were chatting here, and a female family member suddenly appeared. I was so scared that my heart skipped a beat."

As he said that, Xie Yu glanced at Ma Juan and pulled Xiao Wu back two steps, as if he was shying away, as if he was afraid of getting involved with her.

Ma Juan looked at his defensive posture, especially the mocking in his eyes, and his face was red and dripping with blood. She was not a savage beast, so did she need to be so defensive?

Besides, if a man and a woman suddenly meet, she will be the one who suffers, right?

Listening to Xie Yu's teasing, Zhang Yishan glanced at Ma Juan under the pomegranate tree, endured the irritability in her heart, and walked to her.

"The girls are all resting under the grape trellis. I've asked someone to prepare fruit tea. Shall we go over?"

Listening to Zhang Yishan's inquiry, Ma Juan tried her best to push back her tears.

"I saw that the pomegranate flowers here were blooming well, so I wanted to come over and have a look. I didn't expect to meet my cousin and the others."

After listening to her explanation, Zhang Yishan looked at the corner door that was pushed open, her eyes becoming colder.

"This corner door connects to the garden in the front yard. On weekdays, my father likes to take a walk here when he is tired from studying. Today there is a banquet, and this corner door is specially closed. What kind of woman is absent without permission?"

When Ma Juan heard this, her body froze. Seeing so many people staring at her, she opened her mouth, but she didn't have the nerve to speak.

Could it be that she wanted to say that she opened the door?

If anyone found out, her reputation would definitely be damaged.

Ginkgo saw that the girl was angry, and just as she was about to turn around and look for the old woman guarding the door, she saw the old woman running all the way, usually arranging her clothes while running.

"How do you guard the door? How can you leave your post without permission? Be careful of the girl hitting you." Ginkgo glared at her and directly reprimanded her.

"My dear, forgive me. I don't know what's wrong with me today. I feel uncomfortable in my stomach, so I went to squat in the latrine for a while."

The woman held her stomach and looked at the open corner door, her face turned pale.

"When the old slave left, the door was closed and bolted."

What deceptive thing removed the door bolt and caused her to be blamed by the girl?

Listening to the mother-in-law's panic look, she looked at Ma Juan, whose face was red, and saw that there was something else Zhang Yishan didn't understand.

The door bolt was inserted from the inside, so it must have been the door opened by Ma Juan herself.

Ma Ruren's niece really left her speechless.

Usually her mother always says that she doesn't learn the rules well and is like a tomboy. Even so, she never ran around in other people's homes and caused trouble. This one is good, he looks like a doormat to his little wife, but he doesn't follow any rules.

"If you're not in good health, let someone else guard the door. If something goes wrong again, I'll report it to my mother and I'll slap you."

"Yes, I don't dare anymore."

"Miss Ma, let's go over and have tea?"

After listening to Zhang Yishan's suggestion, Ma Juan looked at her gratefully. This person did not criticize her on the spot, so he saved her face.

Before she could speak, she heard the sound of footsteps, and then she saw Zhang Yiren coming with the women.

"What's going on here?"

"I heard from afar that there is a mess here. Is there a dispute?"

Bai Yunxi looked at the scene in front of her and raised her eyebrows. It looked like an old bridge.

Seeing the elders coming, the girls immediately behaved and got out of the way.

Zhang Yishan looked at her mother and shook her head.

"It's okay. Everyone thinks these two pomegranate trees are beautiful, so they came over to take a look out of curiosity. I didn't expect that the senior and junior fellow students are right across the street. It's a coincidence."

Listening to her daughter's explanation, Zhang Yiren nodded.

"These two pomegranate trees are really old, and they are also the most beautiful colors in summer... They don't bear fruit in late autumn, but they are willing to bloom in the half-dead summer. It's not surprising that children like such colors."

Baiyunxi couldn't help but admire it. Listening to it, this is the elegance of a scholar.

No matter what the reason was, in one sentence, it was all due to the fact that the pomegranate flowers were blooming so well that they attracted people.

"This thing in the flower is Xi Shi. The hibiscus and peony are all from my mother's side. I'm talking about this pomegranate flower. People always like beautiful flowers."

Someone echoed the words, and everyone agreed, and the matter was over.

But at this moment, a gentle voice with a hint of surprise suddenly sounded.

"Brother Yu, if we had known you were coming, we would have set off together. You have not been at home these days, and you have not sent a letter home, so mother has no chance to ask you."

Ma Ruren looked at Xie Yu standing in the crowd and spoke gently.

Xie Yu glanced at her, and a hint of mockery appeared at the corner of his mouth hidden under the fan. Then he put away the fan and nodded slightly,

"I have been staying in the other courtyard these days, and my father knows it. Dean Zhang is happy to have a beloved disciple. As a student, how can I not come to congratulate him?"

Xie Yu's meaning was clear. It was not that he was ignorant, but that he had already informed his father of his whereabouts.

As she spoke, Xie Yu glanced at Bai Yunxi and saluted with both hands, "Aunt Bai, my fifth brother is going to become my disciple today, but I was delayed by something. I'm sorry."

Hearing Xie Yu's apologetic tone, Bai Yunxi waved her hand, "It's okay, I'm glad you're here."

Maybe Mrs. Ma was used to Xie Yu's attitude, or maybe she didn't care at all. Not only was she not angry, she also looked at Bai Yunxi curiously. The two looked familiar, and they should have known each other for more than a day or two.

"I didn't expect that Mrs. Bai was so familiar with our brother Yu. I was really surprised."

Looking at Mrs. Ma looking at her with a smile, Bai Yunxi smiled,

"I can only say that everything is fate."
