The two of them wandered around the garden, and Li Susu noticed that Yang Chuxia seemed to have nothing much to say to her.
At this moment, a little maid brought Luo Linhaoâs personal guard over, "Madam, Miss Li, the young master would like to invite Miss Li over for a few words."
"Me?" Li Susu was somewhat reluctant to go, "This isnât right, itâs against propriety."
Yang Chuxia noticed her seeming a bit defensive and nodded, thinking that this girl was more sensible than Luo Linfei, but unfortunately, she couldnât resist the temptation of wealth and prosperity fed to her by First Madam Luo and others.
"Whatâs inappropriate about it? In half a month, youâll be married, and as a couple, meeting each other isnât an issue." Yang Chuxia paused and added, "Linhao probably wants to exchange tokens with you."
Li Susu thought she was right, as they were soon to be a couple, meeting once wasnât a big deal.
Thinking this, Li Susu followed them away.
Yang Chuxia watched her leaving figure and smiled slightly!
"Letâs go, take me back to your madamâs place." Yang Chuxia pointed to a little maid from the Li Residence and said.
"Yes, Madam!"
Back at Madam Liâs place, she and a few others were playing leaf cards again. Yang Chuxia couldnât help but want to wipe her sweat, as Madam Li was indeed quite obsessed with leaf cards, being able to play even on such a day.
"Madam Ye, would you like to play a few rounds?"
Yang Chuxia shook her head, "Iâm not very good at this, you all go ahead and play. When Linhao returns, we should take our leave."
Hearing this from Yang Chuxia, Madam Li suddenly realized her impoliteness.
"Madam Ye, look at me, I canât tell north from south when I see leaf cards." Madam Li said stiffly, "Letâs not play anymore; you all drag me into it, and look how Iâve neglected Madam Ye."
"Arenât you missing one player?" A madam giggled.
"Donât, donât stop." Yang Chuxia urged when she saw them pause, "Continue playing; Iâll learn from you all so I can join in next time."
Hearing this, everyone laughed, but they didnât resume.
New tea was served, and as Yang Chuxia picked up her cup, someone came to report, "Madam, somethingâs wrong, somethingâs wrong! Something has happened with Miss! Please go take a look immediately."
Hearing there was a problem, Madam Li didnât even stop to ask what was wrong and hurried out. Yang Chuxia naturally followed, and the other madams followed suit when they saw her leave.
Outside the courtyard, they happened to encounter Linhaoâs personal servant, "Madam, the young master asked me to tell you that thereâs no need to continue with the engagement with the Li Family."
"Ah?" Yang Chuxia feigned surprise and asked, "What do you mean? He canât be so willful, not at this critical juncture."
"Madam, you should go take a look." The servant didnât explain further and just led the way.
Of course, Yang Chuxia had to follow.
When they arrived, they didnât stop elsewhere, just in front of the rockery at the Li Residence, where the family cousin was holding Li Susu, kneeling, "Aunt, please agree, I truly love Susu."
"Cousin, you!!" Li Susu hadnât reacted at that moment.
"Absurd, utterly absurd!" Madam Li was utterly furious. This was her only nephew from her natal family, and she wanted to find him a good lady to marry, how could he be matched with someone born of a lowly status?
"Whatâs going on?"
Hearing Yang Chuxiaâs voice, Madam Li was obviously flustered, and upon turning around, found not only Yang Chuxia but a few of her sisters as well.
Then Luo Linhao also emerged from behind the rockery, "Madam Li, I heard their conversation, and itâs evident that this Miss Susu has someone in her heart. As a man, I, Luo Linhao, wonât do something like stealing someone elseâs love."
