Xiao Mubei leaned half sideways on the rockery. He had a piece of grass in his mouth and a kite in his hand. He watched Lu Zhan walking towards him step by step with a snickering look on his face. When Lu Zhan walked up to him,
, he did not forget to look behind him, and then said to Lu Zhan in shock, "Hey, Lu Er, your wife didn't come with you?"
Lu Zhan raised his eyes and glanced at him coldly, and his voice seemed to be covered with a layer of ice, "Xiao Mubei, I'm not in the mood to joke with you right now." After that, he didn't wait for Xiao Mubei's reaction.
He raised his feet and walked past him.
Xiao Mubei was stunned for a moment.
He has known Lu Zhan for more than ten years, but he has never seen Lu Zhan's expression like this!
Could it be...
It must be because of Miss Xie from the Marquis of Wu'an Mansion!
Xiao Mubei's eyes suddenly lit up, and he spat out the grass in his mouth with a 'pop' sound. Then, without saying a word, he quickly caught up with Lu Zhan, "Lu Er, why don't you and your wife
The confession was rejected..."
Before the word "Jue" could be spoken, a big hand with distinct joints pinched his neck.
"No, I won't say it anymore, I won't say it anymore..." Looking at Lu Zhan's dark eyes, Prince Xiao wisely closed his mouth.
Lu Zhan took his hand back, then raised his feet and continued walking forward.
Xiao Mubei looked at his devastated look and rolled his eyes vigorously. Then he caught up with Lu Zhan, put his arms around his shoulders and comforted him generously, "Lu Ziyuan, it's not... It's just such a small thing.
How many setbacks can knock you down? It doesn’t matter if you express your love and are rejected. If you are rejected once, do it a second time. If it doesn’t work the second time, do it three or four times. A brave girl is afraid of pestering a man! As long as you persevere and face difficulties, you will be able to do it sooner or later.
Bring your wife back!"
On the surface, Prince Xiao was enlightening his friend with sincere words, but in fact, he was constantly applauding Xie Wu in his heart!
She is indeed the eldest girl of Wu'an Hou Mansion! Well done!
Continue to reject Lu Zhan!
Continue to press Lu Zhan to the ground and rub him hard!
It would be a good idea to teach Second Young Master Lu that there are still things in this world that he cannot calculate!
Ha ha ha ha!
"A Zhan! You can do it!" Prince Xiao tried his best to restrain the smile that was about to burst out. He patted Lu Zhan on the shoulder hard, looked into his eyes sincerely and encouraged him again.
Lu Zhan glanced sideways at Xiao Mubei, curled his lips, smiled coldly, and said, "Okay, stop pretending, your grin is almost reaching the back of your ears!"
Xiao Mubei hurriedly raised his hand and touched his mouth and said, "Am I so obvious?"
Lu Zhan rolled his eyes at Xiao Mubei, reached out to push away Xiao Mubei's hand on his shoulder, then raised his feet and continued to walk forward expressionlessly.
"Hey, Lu Er, don't leave yet!" Xiao Muzi said as he shamelessly chased after him again.
Changyin Building.
As soon as Xie Wu and Xiao Muqing led Lu Congshu away, the other girls became a little unable to sit still.
The same goes for Xie Yuan.
While talking to Lu Rong with a smile, she carefully observed Lu Rong's reaction.
Although she was extremely anxious at the moment, her aunt was already suspicious of her because of the last meeting. Therefore, no matter what excuse she found to leave, her aunt would probably send someone to follow her, so she could only wait.
Wait for Lu Yi to speak.
Sure enough, when Lu Yi saw that Xie Yuan was only talking to Lu Rong, she suddenly felt aggrieved and angry. She stood up suddenly, then walked to Xie Min and said loudly, "Mom, there are some people in this pavilion.
Bored, I want to go for a walk in the garden."
When the other girls heard this, they couldn't help but get excited.
Xie Min glared at Lu Yi angrily and said, "You are so old, why can't you sit still like a monkey? You are a little master now. How can a master run away without leaving his guests?"
The truth.”
"Mom, I'm really feeling bored, and all the sisters must be too. Why don't I take all the sisters to go for a walk in the garden? Aren't the peonies in our garden blooming just right!" Lu Yi pulled Xie Min.
He said coquettishly with his hands.
When they heard that they could go to the garden to get some fresh air, the girls couldn't help but show a bit of joy on their faces.
Xie Min glanced at these girls, and then said to the ladies with a smile, "Look at this child, he is obviously impatient to accompany me to the theater, but he insists on saying that the pavilion is stuffy, but that's right, when I was young, I also
I don’t like listening to this babbling drama, and every time the gongs and drums beat on the stage, I get a severe headache, and every time I rack my brains to find an excuse to leave.”
When she said this, the other ladies laughed and agreed.
"But no, when I was young, the cicadas chirping outside were much better than the plays on the stage." Mrs. Hu answered cheerfully.
Everyone laughed at her words.
Xie Min followed her words and smiled again and said, "In that case, let the children go for a walk in the garden, whether it is admiring flowers with them or playing on the swing, it is not easy for the children to come to our house as guests."
, I have to make her happy too."
Since the host has spoken, the guest has no reason to refuse.
However, today’s guests include male relatives.
"Nanzhu, you go to the garden to take care of things first. We'll also send someone over to the waterside pavilion to tell the second young master." Xie Min turned around and ordered the maid next to her indifferently.
Inadvertently, he glanced at Xie Yuan behind him.
Xie Min was still frightened by what happened last time.
She wasn't worried about the girl next to her, but she was worried that Xie Yuan would take this opportunity to do something wrong again!
She can't afford this shame!
"Madam, I understand." Nanzhu understood Xie Min's thoughts instantly. She bowed to Xie Min respectfully, then bowed and walked out quickly.
"I knew Mom was the best!" Seeing Xie Min's response, Lu Yi happily reached out and hugged Xie Min's neck and rubbed against her.
Xie Min pulled her down with a look of helplessness, "Okay, okay, you are so old, why are you acting like a spoiled child with your mother? You are not afraid of the ladies laughing at you."
"My mother and I are like this! Besides, the ladies won't laugh at me anymore!" Lu Yi blinked and looked at Xie Min with a charming look on his face.
"Okay, okay, stop acting like a spoiled brat. Since you said you wanted to take the girls to play in the garden, you have to fulfill your duty as a master. You are not allowed to have a bad temper, you know!" Xie Min smiled and scratched the tip of her nose.
, he warned her again worriedly.
"I know, mother!" Lu Yi responded in a crisp voice.
Today she wants to let these people know that she is the legitimate little master of Duke Dingguo's mansion!
After Xie Min's words, all the ladies called their girls to them and started whispering.
"Sister Yuan." Xie Min also waved and called Xie Yuan to him.
"Aunt." Seeing Xie Min calling her, Xie Yuan was a little flustered, but she still walked to Xie Min obediently.
Xie Min looked at Xie Yuan and smiled slightly, and then said to her softly, "It's rare that you are so well-behaved. They have all left. Do you want to stay and listen to the show with your aunt?"
As soon as these words came out, the panic on Xie Yuan's face was obvious. She raised her head and looked at Xie Min in disbelief, with a layer of mist in her eyes, "Aunt, aunt..."
Xie Min's expression suddenly turned cold, "Why, is it difficult for you to stay here and watch the show with me?"
"No, it's not..." Xie Yuan was instantly panicked. She pinched the handkerchief in her hand hard, and her mind was even more confused.
What if her aunt doesn't let her go?
Then can she still take this opportunity to get close to Mr. Lu?
"Mrs. Crown Prince, please stop teasing Miss Xie. The sisters have all gone to the garden. How can she sit still if Miss Xie is left alone?" Seeing that Xie Yuan's eyes were almost red with grievance, Mrs. Hu couldn't bear it.
He couldn't help but laugh and said.
Xie Min smiled lightly at Mrs. Hu's words and said, "What Mrs. Hu said is true, I didn't think about it." After that, she smiled and turned to look at Xie Yuan again and said, "Look at you kid, I'm just casual.
After saying this, why are you still feeling wronged?"
Xie Yuan lowered her head and did not dare to answer.
Xie Min glanced at Xie Yuan, she raised her lips again, and then said again calmly, "Okay, let's go to the garden with the sisters, but you have to be careful, don't
I stumbled again where I stumbled last time."
After hearing Xie Min's meaningful words, Xie Yuan's chest twitched hard twice, and she hurriedly lowered her head lower, "Aunt, aunt, I understand."
Xie Min smiled lightly, stretched out her hand to caress Xie Yuan's head, and then said to her gently, "It's good to know. You have to take my aunt's words to heart, otherwise..."
Until she walked out of Changyin Pavilion, Xie Yuan still hadn't recovered from Xie Min's slightly threatening words.
"Sister Yuan, are you okay?" Seeing Xie Yuan's frightened face, Lu Rong couldn't help but look at her worriedly.
Xie Yuan shook her head and was about to speak when Lu Yi's sharp voice suddenly interrupted.
"Second cousin, my mother didn't say anything to you, how could you be so wronged like this?"
"I didn't, sister Yi, don't get me wrong." Xie Yuan hurriedly looked up at Lu Yi and said.
Her aunt already had a bad impression of her. If Lu Yi went back and said something to her again, wouldn't her aunt dislike her even more?
Lu Yi sneered at Xie Yuan, and then she turned her head proudly, smiled and called to the other girls, "Sisters, please follow me." After that, she quickly passed Lu Rong and walked to the end.
front.
Although everyone wanted to wait for Lu Rong, Lu Yi walked very fast, so everyone had to look at Lu Rong apologetically, and then quickened their pace to catch up with Lu Yi.
Lu Rong frowned slightly, but didn't say anything.
Sister Yi has been a bit willful since she was born, and she is used to it.
"Sister Yuan, don't take Sister Yi's words to heart. She is young and not sensible." Lu Rong looked at Xie Yuan and comforted her softly.
Xie Yuan pursed her lips and nodded vigorously. Then, she turned to Lu Rong with red eyes, "I know, Sister Rong, I'm not angry with Sister Yi. I know that my aunt and Sister Yi were separated because of the last meeting.
That's why...they treated me like this, I don't blame them."
Seeing that Xie Yuan remembered the last meeting, a trace of uneasiness flashed across Lu Rong's face, "Sister Yuan, why did you mention her about the past..."
"Sister Rong, last time I was frightened by brother Lu Er, so I couldn't explain it clearly to him. What happened last time was really a misunderstanding..." Xie Yuan held Lu Rong's hand and burst into tears.
.
Seeing Xie Yuan's aggrieved and forbearing look, Lu Rong couldn't help but feel a sense of guilt and pity.
Regardless of whether what happened last time was a misunderstanding or not, her brother went too far. How could he scold Sister Yuan like that?
Seeing that Lu Rong didn't speak, Xie Yuan shed even more tears, "Sister Rong, don't you even believe me? You think I'm lying..."
"No, no, Sister Yuan, I didn't think so. What happened last time... what happened last time was indeed my brother's fault." Lu Rong quickly took Xie Yuan's hand to comfort her.
Xie Yuan sniffed, and her eyes gradually lit up, "Sister Rong, do you really believe me?"
"Well, I believe you!" Lu Rong smiled and nodded towards Xie Yuan.
"Then, can you help me explain to Brother Lu Er?" Xie Yuan pursed her lips hard, and looked at Lu Rong with aggrieved eyes soaked in tears, full of begging and anxiety.
Lu Rong's heart softened immediately, but when she thought of her brother's temper, she couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed, "Sister Yuan, actually, that matter is in the past. My brother has promised my aunt not to talk to anyone anymore.
Mention it, why would you..."
Why bother digging things out again?
"Sister Rong, I don't want to either, but each of them looks at me differently... My grandmother, my father, and my aunt all think I am shameless at such a young age. Sister Rong... I beg you.
..." Xie Yuan held Lu Rong's hand and cried even harder.
Looking at the aggrieved and desperate Xie Yuan, Lu Rong frowned again and again, but in the end he could not say any more words to reject her.
