MTL - After Reincarnating, an Evil Consort Only Wants to Torture Scums-Chapter 561 564: Please come together
Chapter 561 Chapter 564: Please come together
"A friend is a friend, and etiquette cannot be broken." Lu Xiang laughed.
She was the daughter of a minister for a day, so she should salute when she saw Chen Rujin, but she was on good terms with herself and never cared about these etiquettes.
Chen Rujin stomped her feet anxiously: "Rules are dead, but people are alive. Hurry up and get on the boat. The weather is fine today, and it's the most suitable for swimming in the lake." After finishing speaking, he pulled Lu Xiang onto the pedal and got on the boat.
She gave an order, and the sailors rowed their oars slowly towards the center of the lake.
On the deck of the bow, there is a small square table, Lu Xiang and Chen Rujin are sitting opposite each other, and the maid is quietly making tea.
"I haven't congratulated you yet. Here, this is a congratulatory gift for you." As soon as Chen Rujin sat down, she took out a box, opened it and pushed it in front of Lu Xiang: "Do you like it? This is the best thing in my dowry. "
The box contained a complete set of purple gold Dongzhu heads, the most precious of which was the Dongzhu, which was so huge that it was considered a treasure, and it was even more rare.
Lu Xiang couldn't help being startled, and hurriedly said: "It's too expensive, I can't take it."
Chen Rujin snapped the lid on the box, ignored Lu Xiang's astonishment, and turned to Ah Man and said, "It's unlucky to return the gifts you gave, so quickly put them away for your lady."
Ah Man blinked.
Ominous?
It must be accepted.
"My servant thanked the side concubine on behalf of the miss." Ah Man happily held the box in his hand.
Lu Xiang: "..."
Aman, who do you listen to?
"Don't refuse, or you just don't want to make me a friend." Chen Rujin said with a face, as if Lu Xiang said one more no word and she would break up the friendship.
Lu Xiang pursed her lips and smiled lightly: "Okay, thank you very much."
Chen Rujin narrowed his eyes and smiled.
The maid made tea and served it in front of the two.
Chen Rujin picked up the teacup and took a sip, and said: "I originally wanted to ask you to come to the mansion, but when you come, you have to go to the main courtyard to meet, but they are also the main concubine, why do you want to visit Cao Bingbing, I will tell you Said, that woman Cao Bingbing will definitely not treat you courteously because you are about to become the eighth concubine, but will take advantage of the opportunity to humiliate you because of my friendship with you."
Anyone with a general knowledge would be more polite considering Lu Xiang's future status.
"My Highness said that his wealth and life are in the hands of the Eighth Prince, so he told me to make good friends with you." After a pause, Chen Rujin suddenly said with a serious face.
Lu Xiang looked at Chen Rujin dumbfounded.
Fortunately, she knew that this girl liked to say things she shouldn't have said from the very beginning, and as time passed, she got used to it.
"Fortunately, this is in the middle of the lake, so I'm not afraid that the walls have ears. Otherwise, the two Highnesses would be drowned by the censor's saliva if they formed such a blatant clique for personal gain." Lu Xiang laughed.
"Let's stop talking, let's drink tea." Chen Rujin chuckled, stuck out his tongue secretly, and murmured while holding the teacup: "The Third Highness will be drowned by Yushi's saliva, I believe, and the Eighth Highness certainly won't. "
The emperor was the first to not allow it.
Looking at the frank Chen Rujin, Lu Xiangwan smiled, and then said: "The third imperial concubine has lifted her feet?"
"En." Chen Rujin rolled her eyes and nodded.
Seeing her like this, Lu Xiang asked, "Why, is she making things difficult for you?"
"She wanted to, but it didn't work. It's just that the troubles of three days and two ends are annoying. During her confinement, His Highness gave me the gift. Because of her troubles, I never asked me to return it."
The third prince was protecting her, and she was almost walking sideways in the mansion, so Chen Rujin was not very tempted by the housekeeper.
But if she can suppress Cao Bingbing, she will naturally not be so stupid as to push away the power she has obtained.
"Don't talk about her, it's a disappointment, Xiangxiang, can you fish?" Chen Rujin said suddenly.
"Try."
It's for entertainment, it doesn't matter whether it will be or not.
Chen Rujin cheerfully ordered people to prepare fishing rods.
The two played until the afternoon, and the boat returned to the shore. Lu Xiang and Chen Rujin bid farewell, boarded the carriage and went back.
As soon as she returned to the mansion, she saw Lu Qiao sitting on a stone bench in the front yard, propping her chin with one hand, while shaking the handkerchief in her other hand boredly.
"Sixth Sister." Lu Xiang called out.
Hearing Lu Xiang's voice, Lu Qiao quickly got up and ran towards her: "You are finally back."
Hearing what she said, Lu Xiang asked, "What's the matter? Do you need me?"
"That He Zhimin from the Marquis of Wu'an is here?" Lu Qiao said, and she wrinkled her nose in disgust.
This woman is arrogant and hypocritical.
"She's the only one?" Lu Xiang asked in a daze.
Some time ago, Liuliu came to Lu’s house and told her about He Zhiyan being grounded. The reason was that Mrs. Wu Anhou asked her to bring He Zhimin to Lu’s house. I didn't want Madam Wu'anhou to become angry and imprison her in the mansion.
That's why Lu Xiang thought, He Zhimin came today, could it be that Mrs. Marquis Wu'an relieved He Zhiyan's restraint?
"Well, she's the only one." Lu Qiao nodded, and couldn't help complaining: "This person is really out of his mind. He clearly rushed to make friends with you, third sister, but he looked down on me, a concubine, and raised eyebrows at me. Sneering coldly, does she think that you will treat her differently if you bully my third sister?"
If it was in the past, she might be irritated by He Zhimin, and even blame Sanjie for all this.
But now that the third sister is taking care of her and treating her sincerely, she will not be stupid.
Lu Xiang didn't know that Lu Qiao was thinking so much, she stretched out her hand to pinch her face, and said with a smile: "Then she will come to the door next time and ask someone to throw her out."
The corner of Lu Qiao's mouth twitched slightly: "Third sister, you are coaxing a three-year-old child!"
Even if she wanted to, she still had to worry about the identity of the other party.
As for the concubine of the Hou Mansion, if she wants to drive people out, her reputation of being domineering and rude will spread throughout the capital.
Lu Xiang laughed a few times, and went back to Qixia Courtyard with her.
He Zhimin was sitting quietly in the flower hall drinking tea, while Qingyu in the room was waiting beside him.
It wasn't that she didn't want to put on airs as a concubine's daughter in front of these maidservants, but that Yunlu and the others seemed to have a fierce aura, which made He Zhimin dare not take on Qiao.
Because Yun Lu is the big maid beside the empress, even if it is just a maid, she has a sense of oppression similar to that of empress Song over time. It is also outstanding in all aspects.
So although He Zhimin didn't know the identities of these people, the aura emanating from them made her behave subconsciously well.
What's more, in Lu Xiang's place, if she is domineering, she is afraid of being kicked out by Lu Xiang.
"Third Miss is lucky, Sixth Miss is lucky."
Everyone's greetings sounded in the courtyard.
He Zhimin put down his teacup and stood up when he heard the words, and saw Lu Xiang walking in slowly.
Qingyu saluted with blessings: "Miss San."
Lu Xiang nodded slightly, turned to look at He Zhimin, and nodded, "Miss He Wu."
"Xiangxiang, you're back." He Zhimin had a sweet and friendly smile on his face, and the familiar "Xiangxiang" was very soft and gentle. People who didn't know it would feel that they were relatives at first hearing. Very kind.
Lu Xiang trembled, and goosebumps appeared on his arms instantly.
"I don't know what the fifth lady is here for?" Lu Xiang didn't want to get close to her, so she asked straight to the point.
He Zhimin didn't seem to notice the alienation in Lu Xiang's tone, and said with a smile, "You don't have to be so out of touch, just call me Minmin."
Lu Qiao couldn't help but rolled her eyes when she heard this, and muttered softly, "Hypocrisy."
Her voice was not loud, and He Zhimin didn't hear it, but she rolled her eyes and saw it clearly, and immediately glared at Lu Qiao angrily: "Lu Qiao, what do you mean, how dare you roll your eyes at me."
Lu Qiao's face froze, not because she was afraid of He Zhimin, but because she was caught in the act of rolling her eyes, very embarrassed, and even more worried that it would bring trouble to Lu Xiang.
So she subconsciously looked at Lu Xiang, thinking that if she accidentally revealed her disdain for He Zhimin, would this girl be persistent because of it.
Lu Xiang looked at He Zhimin indifferently. To her, He Zhimin was just a familiar stranger, and he never cared about her thoughts and feelings.
"Miss Fifth, if you have something to do, you may as well speak up."
He Zhimin was stunned for a moment, feeling the indifference from Lu Xiang, her heart was suffocated for no reason, she almost couldn't maintain the kindness on her face, and finally suppressed the irritability in her heart, she said: "It will be my home in three days. Grandmother's 60th birthday, I've been reminded to invite you to attend."
As she spoke, she took out an invitation card.
"Thank you for your kindness, old lady, but Sister Yan is not feeling well, so I don't want to bother her. I don't know anyone else well except her, so I won't go. Say sorry to Mrs. He for me."
He Zhimin's outstretched hand just froze in mid-air, staring at Lu Xiang blankly, his mind went blank for a moment.
She never expected that Lu Xiang would refuse face-savingly even when she personally came to the door to send invitations.
"Yes...but..."
He Zhimin wanted to say something subconsciously, but he didn't know where to start.
"Sorry Miss Fifth, I'm busy with important matters, so I won't entertain you." Lu Xiang sent off the guests with a polite smile.
He Zhimin's face turned blue and then pale, and she gritted her teeth to show aggrieved expression, stomped her foot, and ran away holding the invitation card, not even caring about etiquette.
Yun Lu blinked when she saw this, and came to a conclusion in her heart.
This Fifth Miss of the Marquis of Wu'an's Mansion is not liked by the lady, well, there is no need to deal with it in the future.
He Zhimin returned to the Marquis of Wu'an Mansion and ran back to his room, and not long after, there was the sound of weeping.
Mrs. Wu Anhou hurried to her yard after learning about it, and Wu Anhou followed.
"Min'er, what's the matter, who bullied you?" Madam Wu'an Hou saw He Zhimin crying sadly on the table as soon as she entered the room, she walked over and sat down beside her, patted her back and asked in pain.
He Zhimin raised his head, showing a tear-stained face, and said aggrievedly: "Mother, it's Lu Xiang, Lu Xiang is too much."
Marquis Wu An originally thought in his heart that if he knew who made his daughter angry, he would decide for her what to say.
After hearing Lu Xiang, he touched his nose embarrassingly and closed his mouth tightly.
That is the Eighth Emperor Concubine, even if she is not with the Eighth Prince, if she offends Lu Xiang for her daughter, if the Eighth Prince doesn't skin him, even the Emperor will not be able to spare him.
Didn't hear, didn't hear!
