Chapter 29: The Pouch Had Been SnatchedChapter 29: The Pouch Had Been Snatched
Lin Xingjian naturally knew that his mother had organized this banquet for him.
However, he never expected Bai Xianyu to really come.
The Marquis of Dingyuan's wife was already mentally prepared. After all, she had bumped into the Eldest Princess on the same day. If people came to her banquet, wouldn't they be publicly disrespecting the Eldest Princess?
However, she knew what her son was thinking. If Bai Xianyu had also been invited and the marriage was firmed up, wouldn't the two of them miss each other?
Although she was not too sure if Bai Xianyu could come over, it was better than doing nothing and waiting.
In the end, Bai Xianyu still came to her residence.
The wife of the Marquis of Dingyuan pulled her to the garden and said with a smile, "Xianyu, you're smart. You should know why I invited you, right?"
Bai Xianyu nodded.
"Your mother passed away early, so you have to worry about everything yourself. You even have to consider your own marriage. It's really hard on you."
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtBai Xianyu said, "It's not difficult. I just have to get used to it."
"Then I'll make myself clear." The wife of the Marquis of Dingyuan smiled and said, "You've just come of age. I'm afraid that every family sees you as a hot cake and is in a hurry to send a matchmaker to the Manor. I wonder if I can settle on you as my daughter-in-law first?"
Lin Xingjian, who was in the corner, almost had his heart stop beating.
Why was his mother so blunt!
At least be more tactful. He… he had yet to express his feelings.
If he was rejected, wouldn't it be awkward when they met in the future?
In the other garden not far from there, there was a luxuriant tree with a thick trunk; it was still lush and green even in winter.
A peregrine falcon stood on the young man's shoulder, its claws were curved, and its teeth were sharp. His pointed gaze locked on the two people who were talking.
He heard their voices.
After the wife of the Marquis of Dingyuan asked that question, she also felt that she had said it too impatiently. At the very least, she should ask what she thought of their Xingjian before talking about the engagement.
However, Bai Xianyu replied, "I'm willing to marry Lin Xingjian."
Lin Xingjian grasped the pouch that Bai Xianyu had given him tightly and was overjoyed.
From a tree not far away from him came a soft sound that sounded like a branch being snapped.
For some reason, he suddenly felt that this space condensed all of a sudden.
Suddenly, a peregrine falcon that was half the height of a person suddenly circled in the air and flew towards him at high speed!
Lin Xingjian felt strange and subconsciously took a step back.
The peregrine falcon's speed was extremely fast, and its gaze was simply unnerving. However, it just barely flew past him, and its powerful wings ruthlessly collided with his chest. Lin Xingjian only felt a sharp pain assault him, and he was slammed into the wall by this force. He coughed a few times with a painful expression.
Before the wife of the Marquis of Dingyuan could reply to Bai Xianyu, she heard her son's voice.
The moment she saw him, her eyes widened in worry. "Xingjian!"
Bai Xianyu was stunned and followed.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmLin Xingjian half-knelt on the ground. There seemed to be a dent in his chest, and his bones seemed to be dislocated.
Seeing his mother coming over, he wanted to put the pouch in, but when he touched it, he did not find anything!
Lin Xingjian searched carefully and only found a broken red thread.
It was that peregrine falcon!
Did this beast treat that thing as food?!
He frowned in regret.
The Marquis of Dingyuan's wife had already walked in front of him. She sized him up from head to toe and said anxiously, "Xingjian, what's wrong? Did something happen?"
Lin Xingjian glanced at the beautiful Bai Xianyu behind her and blamed himself for not protecting the item she had given him.
"… I'm fine."
He had to get that pouch back!
The Marquis of Dingyuan's wife was worried and immediately invited a doctor to take a look at Lin Xingjian.
Bai Xianyu stood at the side and hesitated.
She had not finished her words just now, but now did not seem to be the time to speak.
