Female martial arts fanatics only love to fight, while men fight for their lives.

After Lou Xiao came out of the dark prison, he became much more high-profile.

In the past, all the letters sent to the Duke of Zhenguo's Mansion were rejected by Lou Hong.

Now she accepts everyone who comes to her, and she is glamorous every day, attending banquets everywhere, and is busy and happy.

Lou Hong was both relieved and worried. He didn't think Lou Xiao finally understood the importance of interpersonal relationships.

Under the current circumstances, her high-profile movement around does not get her any positive feedback.

On the contrary, it feels quite ostentatious.

However, because of this, many people with ulterior motives began to frequently attend banquets in the capital, just to have the chance to meet her.

You know, this Duke of Zhenguo doesn't have any man around him now.

However, everyone discovered something, whether it was a coincidence or not, that as long as the Duke of Zhenguo was there, Li Huaiqing of the Li family would definitely follow.

The two of them are particularly pleasing to the eye wherever they appear. Those who are quick-witted can guess what is going on between them.

It seems that Li Huaiqing is determined to win the title of Duke of Zhenguo.

"I heard that the late King Hanhai and the Duke Zhenguo have already married in the palace. Before the King Hanhai's body is cold, he has already set his sights on someone, and he is not afraid that Your Majesty will be angry with him."

The Yi family celebrated their birthday, and the arrival of the Duke of Zhenguo shocked the younger generation. No matter how many rumors there were outside,

It couldn't stop Lou Xiao from having good looks and status. Who wouldn't want to marry into the Duke Zhenguo's Mansion?

In the past, she didn't like to go out, but now she has finally changed her personality and wants to have more chance encounters and conversations.

If I could make her fall in love with me, even if I didn't become her legal husband, it would be great to just serve her.

Unfortunately, Li Huaiqing followed closely and guarded very closely. As soon as he appeared, Lou Xiao could no longer see anyone else.

No wonder some people are saying sour things in secret.

Lou Xiao had sharp ears so she could hear it clearly. She would have thought it was a coincidence if they met once or twice, but Lou Xiao had met Li Huaiqing so many times that it was true that he would follow her as soon as she came.

Lou Xiao looked thoughtfully at Li Huaiqing who was sitting next to him. Today he was wearing a long-sleeved gown with lilac embroidered with orchids, and a wide belt tied with green fish to show off his waist.

Her black hair was loosely tied up with a goose yellow headband, as if she had just walked out of Fengbo Pavilion where someone was writing quickly. She was as fresh as a teenager and so tender that water could be pinched out of her.

"What are you looking at me for?" Li Huaiqing turned away from the troupe on the stage and asked Lou Xiao, who was lost in thought, "The Yi family paid a lot of money to hire this troupe, which is quite popular in the capital. Don't you like it?"

Lou Xiao glanced at it with little interest. She really didn't understand the singing. "I don't like it."

But this was someone else's birthday party and she was a guest, so she had to watch it even if she didn't like it.

Li Huaiqing took a plate of snacks from the table and pushed it towards her. "I know you don't like socializing, but since you're here, don't be too obvious."

So as not to embarrass the host.

Of course Lou Xiao knew it, so she stopped looking at him and pretended to watch the show while discussing the plot with him.

"I haven't asked you yet, why are you here? I didn't hear that you were invited when I came here."

Lou Xiao had a sudden idea and randomly picked a post from Lou Hong.

The Yi family has been an upright family in the capital for many years. Although their official position is not stable, they are a family of scholars and are famous in the capital for their good family education.

The invitation I sent to the Duke of Zhenguo's Mansion was just a show, but I didn't expect that she would actually come.

What I didn't expect was that Li Huaiqing would also follow. I was really scared.

"If I hadn't come, you wouldn't have been able to get out today." Li Huaiqing glanced around at the men who pretended to watch the show but actually glanced at her from time to time.

With a half-smile on his face, he asked, "Does Xiaoxiao also want to marry a strange man and bring him home?"

Lou Xiao was at a loss, "I'm here to attend the birthday party, what's the point of getting married or not?"

Li Huaiqing shook his head. "If someone says that you have ruined her reputation and that you will die in the mansion of the Duke of Zhenguo if you don't marry her, what will you do?"

What kind of confusing incident is this?

"I didn't do anything to clear my name, but you still want to put it on me?" Lou Xiao's eyes widened slightly, and he said in disbelief.

"Don't people say I'm cruel and bloodthirsty? Who is so brave and not afraid that I'll kill him?"

Lou Xiao, who had never seen these tricks before, never believed it. Li Huaiqing could only smile indifferently. Perhaps he had to let her experience it herself before she would understand his painstaking efforts.
