Ning Lixuan didn't recognize Xi Yu or Xi Juan, but he had seen Bai Yi. When he saw Bai Yi, he mistook Yueyao, who was wearing a moon-white dress and covering her face with a veil, for Mingzhu. Ning Lixuan was uncomfortable; he had not expected to run into this troublesome cousin while picking up a painting.
There was also a marital connection between Duke Ning's Mansion and Marquis Jingning's Residence, which made Mingzhu and Ning Lixuan cousins of sorts.
Ning Lixuan asked in a deep voice, "Why have you also come to Four Treasures Square?" The elders at home, especially his mother, really hoped he would marry Luo Mingzhu, but he did not like Luo Mingzhu, not at all. Mingzhu, leveraging her status, had done many things that annoyed him. He had no choice but to deal with Luo Mingzhu due to the Luo Family's influence. If it were truly up to him, he wouldn't want to have anything to do with Mingzhu at all.
