After crossing, I was miserable.

After the Hundred Flowers Banquet, those who had a crush on someone or were interested in a certain family began to take action, either asking relatives and friends or using their own connections to get information.

All of a sudden, all kinds of rumors and gossips were flying around. Some said that a certain young lady was extremely beautiful and talented; others said that a certain young man was elegant and had a distinguished family background. These rumors spread throughout the city like the wind, and people talked about them with great relish.

The families being questioned were not completely ignorant. They were keenly aware of the attention paid by people around them and began to reveal some information about their children, whether intentionally or unintentionally.

Some parents even deliberately release some vague information to arouse more people's curiosity and speculation.

In this atmosphere full of scheming and calculation, everyone has his or her own thoughts.

Some hope to take this opportunity to curry favor with the powerful, while others hope to find a good husband or a virtuous wife.

However, how much sincerity is there in this? Perhaps only time can give the answer...

Qian Duoduo and the other two got together again to discuss this matter.

Because Sun Xinyan and Bai Ningchuan are already engaged, no one will disturb them.

Unfortunately, however, up to now, Bai Ningning has not yet found a satisfactory partner.

You know, her spoiled, cunning and arrogant temper was not developed in a day or two, but has a long history. Even her own family members indulge her in every way.

Her family was worried that she would be bullied, and even thought about inviting a live-in son-in-law to live with her, so that their precious daughter would not suffer any injustice.

"You really don't find anyone you like?" Qian Duoduo asked curiously.

She believed that people of this era generally had outstanding looks, especially those wealthy young men from the capital.

These people have lived in luxury since childhood, enjoying the best material conditions and educational resources. They often have delicate features, upright postures and elegant temperaments, and exude a unique charm in their every move.

This inherent superiority makes them stand out from the crowd and become the focus of attention.

"No, I think they are all just empty words, and corrupt."

Sun Xinyan nodded her head.

"You, what kind do you like? I'll ask someone to help you pick one later."

"Why? You can't tolerate a sister-in-law like me, huh?"

Bai Ningning said pretending to be angry.

"If you don't like them, how about my brother? He's pretty good-looking," Qian Duoduo took the opportunity to promote Qian Yi, but he forgot as soon as he finished speaking...

"Forget it, he is not worthy of you." Before Bai Ningning could reply, Qian Duoduo immediately added.

"Okay, okay, I really don't like those children from aristocratic families. They have an inexplicable arrogance. It would be fine if they were really capable, but they are nothing and still pretend to be capable. It's so annoying."

Bai Ningning really looked down on those people. Even though these rich kids looked bright and handsome on the outside, were they really as perfect deep down in their hearts?

I'm afraid only they themselves know this best.

After all, a person's true quality and character do not depend solely on their external appearance, but are more reflected in their daily behavior and attitude towards others.

Perhaps some rich kids become arrogant because they are spoiled; or some people lack ambition and fighting spirit despite their wealthy families...

"So what kind do you like?" the two asked curiously.

Bai Ningning has a special liking for those young students who are well-mannered and bookish.

She felt that such men exuded a unique charm that made people fall in love with them. They were usually tall and straight, with picturesque features, elegant manners, and their conversations revealed profound knowledge and extraordinary temperament.

Whenever Bai Ningning saw such scholars, she would feel an indescribable joy in her heart. She would watch them silently, admire their demeanor, and even fantasize about spending a good time with them.

In her eyes, these scholars not only have outstanding appearance, but more importantly, they have wisdom and talent, and can write gorgeous chapters and express their inner emotions.

Bai Ningning had never thought that a person like her who was willful and careless would actually have a liking for such a gentle and refined scholar!

This completely overturned her previous understanding and imagination of love.

Bai Ningning has always been a free and unrestrained woman.

She likes adventure and the pursuit of excitement, and always looks down on people and things that follow the rules and stick to the conventions.

However, fate seemed to play a joke on her and made her meet that unique scholar.

The scholar's name was Li Yifeng. He had an upright figure, picturesque features, and his every move revealed an elegant temperament.

He is well-read and talented, but he is neither arrogant nor impatient, and is always humble and polite.

Every time she saw him, Bai Ningning felt an indescribable feeling in her heart.

But she knew very well that there was a huge difference between their identities.

One is like the sun high in the clouds, with a distinguished family background and a respected status; while the other is like the grass in the mud, ordinary and helpless.

This gap in background was like an unbridgeable chasm between the two of them.

She knew that if she asked her parents, they would agree to let him marry into the Bai family, but what about him? Would he, a poor boy who was devoted to studying, agree? Would it not hurt him?

So, she never dared to tell her parents, not even Sun Xinyan.

She was afraid that she might accidentally tell her brother.

Because these are all her little thoughts.

Qian Duoduo and Sun Xinyan looked at Bai Ningning who was silent, and were suddenly surprised.

"Could she have someone she likes?" The two people spoke in a low voice.

"You two could speak a little quieter. It would be best if you could speak close to my ear."

But after Bai Ningning said this, she actually blushed.

"There's something wrong with you. There's something very wrong with you."

"Yes, are you hiding something from us?"

The two people were trying to force Bai Ningning to confess. They were trying to tickle her, determined to find out something.

Although Bai Ningning's face was red, she was very clear about the matter. She just gritted her teeth and said nothing. She didn't want to mislead the scholar.

So I used another thing to divert their attention.

"By the way, have you heard? After the Hundred Flowers Banquet, Madam Yang punished Yang Chuyi to kneel in the ancestral hall."

"what's the situation?"

"what's the situation?"

The two people said in unison, looked at each other, and felt that there was something fishy.

"There is such a thing? What is going on? Tell us quickly!" Qian Duoduo couldn't contain his excitement and said:

"Don't be impatient, listen to me slowly. It was said that at the Hundred Flowers Banquet that day, after the young lady fell into the water, Yang Chuyi somehow offended Madam Yang, and Madam Yang got mad on the spot and asked her to kneel in the ancestral hall to reflect on her mistakes!"

"How could this happen? Yang Chuyi behaved very well. He brought the servants here in time and rescued the young lady in time. He also did not damage the young lady's reputation. How could this happen?"

"Did something happen that we don't know about?"

Qian Duoduo also carefully recalled what happened that day. Only this small incident happened, but there was no incident of any lady slandering another lady for pushing someone. It was also resolved very smoothly. Did something get missed?

Bai Ningning watched Qian Duoduo and Sun Xinyan shift their attention to this matter, and then said:

"There are many different opinions. Some say that she pushed that young lady, some say that she was dissatisfied with that young lady's engagement to Huangfu Yucheng, and some..."

"Engagement?" Qian Duoduo's voice suddenly became louder.

Sun Xinyan was also startled.

Bai Ningning looked around and said like the most thief in her own home:

"According to gossip, Huangfu Yucheng's family has had private contact with that young lady, and I heard that they are going to get engaged, but this matter has not been made public yet. I guess they are still discussing it."

"Why is it so sudden?" Qian Duoduo asked dissatisfiedly.

"Hey, although we didn't see the young lady's situation with our own eyes, Huangfu Yucheng must have seen it. Wouldn't that woman's innocence be gone? How will she cope with it in the future?"

I don’t know what to do with so much money.
