Chapter 678 Let go of that military advisor
Su Boqian and Su Zhongyao were both very filial. After receiving their old mother, they immediately held a banquet in their house.
As Lu Yizhou was a well-known figure in the Su Mansion, he was naturally invited and brought Shi Li with him.
Shi Li definitely couldn't wear men's clothes at this time, so she obediently went back and changed into women's clothes, and also put some rouge on her face.
A young girl in her prime years can be a beautiful sight no matter how she dresses up.
Lu Yizhou came back specially, and his eyes sparkled slightly when he saw the carefully dressed girl.
Then he nodded to her with satisfaction.
The two of them went to the banquet hand in hand, and were arranged by servants who were instructed in advance by Su Boqian to sit closest to him and the old lady.
When Madam Su saw Shi Li, a kind and friendly smile immediately appeared on her face, and she waved to her directly, "Miss Shi, come and sit next to me."
Shi Li: ...
It’s over, it’s over. That feeling of being targeted by a matchmaker is back!
But in this kind of situation, and Madam Su was Su Boqian's mother, she couldn't refuse. She could only pretend to be shy and walk slowly to Madam Su's side.
Next, it is a one-sided issue.
Old Madam Su smiled widely but asked questions about every detail, and it seemed that she was about to find out where the Shi Li family's ancestral grave was.
【I think……】
[Upstairs! Shhh——]
【Just watch quietly! 】
There was a comment that wanted to reveal that Madam Su had impure motives, but was sternly reminded by others to shut up.
Shi Li had a very tiring night.
She had thought she could have something delicious to eat at the banquet, but she didn't expect that Old Madam Su would stay by her side the whole time, talking to her from time to time. As a result, she didn't eat well and was left feeling very nervous.
By the time the banquet was finally over, I felt exhausted both physically and mentally.
After the banquet, Lu Yizhou was kept by Su Boqian again, so Shi Li had to go back and rest by herself.
She walked out dejectedly, and happened to meet Su Zhongyao coming back from seeing off a guest at the door.
The two met face to face. Su Zhongyao remembered what Old Madam Su had said during the day. He stopped and called out uncomfortably, "Miss Shi."
"Master Su."
Shi Li returned the greeting perfunctorily and continued walking forward without giving it much thought.
Only Su Zhongyao was left staring at her back in a daze.
Until the maid beside Old Madam Su came out and called him in to talk.
After Shi Li returned, she simply washed up and prepared to go to bed. Although her stomach was empty, she was too lazy to find anything to eat. She thought of taking a nap and waking up the next morning.
But since I was hungry, I couldn’t sleep. I lay in bed in a daze and seemed to hear a knock on the door.
She still wanted to trust the guards around the Su Mansion, so she was not nervous, but just stood up and walked over with a strange look.
"Who?"
Lu Yizhou's voice came from outside, "It's me."
Shi Li opened the door without hesitation and saw Lu Yizhou standing outside. He was dressed in a white scholar's robe that was whiter than snow, and his black crow-feather-like hair was covered with a layer of snowy moonlight, which seemed to be glowing.
What was rather odd was that he was actually holding a food box in his hand.
Shi Li's eyes were fixed on the food box. She realized that it was most likely for her. She couldn't help swallowing and looked at Lu Yizhou eagerly.
"How do you know I'm not full?"
She and Lu Yizhou were too familiar with each other, so there was nothing to be shy about and she just told him frankly about her current situation.
"Mrs. Su was talking to you just now."
The starry sky and moonlight added a touch of tenderness between Lu Yizhou's eyebrows.
He handed the food box to Shi Li in a gentle voice. Although he had not spoken to Shi Li at the banquet just now, he had actually been paying attention to her, fearing that she would be wronged in the slightest.
After a pause, Lu Yizhou said, "Don't eat too much, or you will feel uncomfortable tomorrow."
At this moment, Shi Li felt that the person standing in front of him was not the well-planned Mr. Qing Feng, but a nagging housekeeper.
But if Lu Yizhou didn't remind her, she might really eat a lot, after all, she was hungry.
Thinking of this, Shi Li blinked guiltily.
"Okay, I got it, go back and rest!"
Lu Yizhou watched the door close in front of him, leaving only sparse moonlight on the ground. He slowly took a step back, with a look of helplessness between his brows.
On the other side, Su Boqian was about to go to bed, but was stopped by the maid beside his old mother and called directly to her side.
"What can I do for you, mother, so late at night?"
Su Boqian was well-known throughout history for his filial piety. He walked to the side of Old Madam Su in two or three steps, bowed respectfully and asked.
Old Madam Su looked a bit tired, but she still insisted on sitting upright, looking at Su Boqian with a loving face.
"I saw Mr. Lu's sister today and she's very nice. I want to be her matchmaker. What do you think?"
