Chapter 562 Awkward Dinner Party
Leng Ming's words made Luo Xue a little embarrassed. On such an occasion, he, a grown man, picked up food for himself. It would be strange if others knew about it and would not misunderstand him.
"Thank you, I mean, my throat is not feeling well today and I would like to eat something light."
Light?
Leng Ming's eyes scanned for a week, and when he saw the green vegetables, he picked them up again and brought them to Luo Xue.
Luo Xue is not a person who likes to show off, and she doesn't like Leng Ming showing kindness to her in public, so she directly blocked Leng Ming's hand with the chopsticks in her hand.
"You don't need to clamp it for me, I can do it myself."
Leng Ming's hands were hanging in the air, obviously a little embarrassed.
Seeing this, Luo Lan was busy trying to smooth things over.
"Ming'er, Luo Xue doesn't like others serving her food, you can eat it yourself."
Leng Ming's face turned red. He groaned, put the green vegetable in his hand back into his bowl, lowered his head, and secretly stuffed the green vegetable into his mouth.
Looking at this scene, Leng Xi's mouth showed a faint sarcasm, while Yu Qiaoqiao acted like a normal person, picking up food for Xiaobao while eating by himself, without even looking at Leng Xi.
In order to show his status in the family, Leng Xi picked up a piece of spareribs and brought it to Yu Qiaoqiao's bowl. This surprised Yu Qiaoqiao. This was the first time for him to serve himself food in so many years. While he was secretly happy, he also
Full of confusion.
Leng Xi probably didn't know what Yu Qiaoqiao liked to eat. When he saw Yu Qiaoqiao eating that piece of pork ribs, he felt instantly satisfied, so he put another piece of braised pork in her bowl.
Yu Qiaoqiao shook his head and returned the piece of meat to him.
"This meat is too fatty, I can't eat it."
this……
What is the difference between this scene and Leng Ming who was directly rejected just now?
Leng Xi instantly looked at Yu Qiaoqiao with a livid face, "Don't you love eating meat?"
Yu Qiaoqiao didn't look at him directly and replied directly:
"When did I say that I love eating meat? You have no idea what I like to eat."
"you……"
Leng Xi snorted coldly through his nose and roared in a low voice,
"I don't know what's good and what's good. It's because I take you too seriously."
"Thank you, Lord Xi, for your love. Qiaoqiao deserves it."
After saying this, she turned her face to one side, lowered her head and started eating the food in the bowl, completely ignoring Leng Xi.
At this time, Leng Xi's embarrassment was no worse than Leng Ming's just now. He secretly decided in his heart that he must teach this woman a lesson when he returns home.
Leng Yu still went his own way and served Luo Lan her favorite dishes, and Luo Lan also ate them one by one. On this table, it seemed that only the two of them were relatively harmonious.
At the end of the banquet, Luo Lan took Luo Xue around the Duke's Mansion, letting her get familiar with the situation here. When they came to the back garden, they sat down in the pavilion together. Luo Lan asked with concern:
"Luo Xue, what's going on between you and Leng Ming? Why do I feel like there's something wrong with you? Do you not like him?"
Luo Xue pondered for a while, then shook her head,
"It's not that I don't like him, I just think that he is too young to do nothing all day long, which is a bit unacceptable. I am not a person who likes ease. A man like him who only relies on the imperial salary to live, said
To be honest, I kind of dislike it."
Luo Lan was a little moved by Luo Xue's words. She really ignored this point. In her impression, Leng Ming had been doing nothing since he established his own palace. Fortunately, the salary from the court was enough to support the expenses of Prince Ming's palace.
Thinking of this, she nodded and comforted:
"Otherwise, ask your brother-in-law to arrange an official position for him in the court and let him experience it. It is really not the right thing for a man to do nothing all day long."
"Well, actually I know he likes me, but recently I have always found that his personality is more like a child. He thinks that as long as he says he loves me and likes me, he is treating me well. But I don't think so.
What I’m looking for is someone to live with, not someone to be in love with all the time. Just like you and my brother-in-law, you are busy with your own business during the day and come home together at night. This kind of life is what I yearn for.
."
Luo Lan turned around and looked at her, smiling softly:
"Since you also want to go out and do things, why not come back to Chun Tang to help me? I happen to be short of manpower there."
"Is it really possible?"
Luo Xue looked at her with some joy, "Sister, if it's really possible, I would like to go. I don't want to be a pampered young lady at home, and I don't want to be a husband and godson like Yu Qiaoqiao.
As a woman, I want to be like you, have my own things to do, and also be able to take care of my family."
When Yu Qiaoqiao was mentioned, Luo Lan smiled helplessly and shook his head.
"Everyone has different ideas, and everyone's lifestyle is also different. For Yu Qiaoqiao, having a husband and raising children is the life she wants most."
"But I always feel that she and Leng Xi only seem to be in love on the surface, but they may be leading a different kind of life behind the scenes. I've seen her twice, and she never seemed to have a smile on her face..."
"Yes, whether a woman is happy or not can be seen from her face and her smile. There is indeed a problem between Yu Qiaoqiao and Leng Xi. Sometimes, when a woman loses herself for the sake of her family, how can there be happiness?
What can I say?"
Thinking of Yu Qiaoqiao's rude attitude towards Leng Xi during the dinner, Luo Lan couldn't help but worry a little. She wondered whether Leng Xi would be furious with her after he returned.
The facts were basically consistent with Luo Lan's guess. As soon as Leng Xi returned to Prince Xi's Mansion, he asked Xiao Bao to go down and she took Yu Qiao Qiao directly back to his room.
"Tell me, what do you want?"
He stared at Yu Qiaoqiao with a hint of sharpness and anger in his tone.
Yu Qiaoqiao lowered her head and kept kneading the handkerchief in her hands.
"Speak, now you have repeatedly refuted me in public. How did I tell you? No matter what happens to you and me in Prince Xi's Mansion, you have to pretend to be in love with me in front of outsiders. Have you forgotten?
?”
When she said this, Leng Xi suddenly stepped forward and grabbed her collar, stared at her, and asked in a hateful voice:
"Yu Qiaoqiao, don't play tricks with me. I can tolerate you once or twice, but I won't tolerate you many times. If you dare to contradict me again, believe it or not, I want you to look good."
"kill me?"
Yu Qiaoqiao suddenly opened her eyes and looked at Leng Xi, with rare firmness in her eyes.
"How do you want me to look good? You should kill me so that you can show your majesty as Lord Xi. Anyway, you have killed many people, and I am not the least of them."
"You think I don't dare?"
"Of course you dare. Your Prince Xi can be alone for many years. What else can you not dare to do? I, Yu Qiaoqiao, am just a decoration in your Prince Xi's mansion. Now that I have done enough of this decoration, you can either kill me or
Divorce me, in short, I've had enough."
Her words made Leng Xi's face turn blue and white.
He slowly loosened his hand holding Yu Qiaoqiao's collar, and Yu Qiaoqiao shook his hand away hard, took two steps back, and continued to say coldly:
"Prince Xi, I have been your nominal Princess Xi for six years. During these six years, I feel that I am not living in Prince Xi's Mansion, I am living in a nunnery. Now I have had enough. I don't want to continue living this kind of heartless life."
It’s time for lust, please let me go!”
After saying this, she looked up at Leng Xi and said righteously:
"Give me a letter of divorce, or give me three feet of white silk."
With these words behind her, she turned around, pushed open the door, lifted her skirt and walked out.
The reason why she was so angry today was entirely because she saw Leng Yu and Luo Lan loving each other, and Leng Xi deliberately followed suit, making her unhappy.
She could tolerate Leng Xi's neglect of her, but she couldn't accept him pretending to be nice to her in front of outsiders.
Seeing her rushing out of the door, Leng Xi also frowned and froze on the spot. This woman was so audacious that she dared to make such an unreasonable request.
He couldn't kill her, nor would he divorce her.
