Chapter 60: Sharp Sun Haining

Lu Jiangnian paused, then lowered his eyes, obviously not wanting to talk more. He said indifferently, "No problem."

Sun Huanzhi was not the kind of person who didn't have good eyesight. He chuckled and said, "By the way, Murong Jun will be getting married in a few days. The mansion given to him by the emperor is right next to my house. These days, there are a lot of carriages and noise. It's a scene..."

"Just a little worse than the prince."

At the end, his tone became sarcastic.

His aunt, Empress Sun, had a wonderful story with the emperor. When his aunt passed away, the emperor issued an edict to appoint her only son Murong Chi as the crown prince in order to make her feel at ease.

Murong Chi was the legitimate son of the Empress and the eldest son of the Emperor, so it was legitimate for him to be the crown prince.

The emperor also took good care of him and showed concern for him in every way. The father and son of the royal family were just like ordinary people.

However, as Madam Zhaohua became more and more favored, the emperor's concern for the Fifth Prince gradually surpassed that for the Crown Prince. In many cases, the emperor's preference for the Fifth Prince was even more obvious than that for the Crown Prince.

It is precisely because of this that the Fifth Prince becomes increasingly dissatisfied.

"It has not been easy for my cousin the Crown Prince these past few years. Now that you are back and can stay in the capital, he will have more helpers."

Sun Huanzhi was good at leading troops in battle, but he was not good at scheming.

But Lu Jiangnian is different. He has loved reading since he was a child and has the most ideas in his head.

The person opposite showed a mocking expression: "Don't worry, Murong Jun's wedding day will definitely be wonderful. I have prepared a 'big gift' for him to congratulate him on his marriage."

This young and handsome face now contained a sneer and looked murderous.

Sun Huanzhi was looking forward to this great gift.

About half an hour later, Xuanying came back and said, "The carriage went to the eastern suburbs back to Mapo."

A gust of cold wind gathered in Lu Jiangnian's eyes, blowing so coldly that Sun Huanzhi felt a chill.

"Go back to Mapo?"

"Did your family also receive the post?"

Sun Huanzhi suddenly remembered something and asked.

Lu Jiangnian was confused: "What post?"

It turned out that Tang Wan, the third daughter of the Deyang Marquis's family, wanted to hold a crab feast, so she invited her friends to go to the farm at the foot of Huimapo in the suburbs of Beijing to enjoy the flowers and eat crabs.

"My sister went to a banquet today. The girls in your family don't interact much with the Tang family. I didn't expect Miss Tang San to send you an invitation."

"Who from your family is going? I heard Murong Ling is going too."

This post from Murong Ling was specially requested by the Princess of Qin and the Crown Princess.

The Princess of Qin is a very insightful person and has a good relationship with the Crown Princess. She has only one daughter, Murong Ling, who is becoming more and more outrageous. She is very worried.

It’s not a big deal to stay at home every day.

The Deyang Marquis's Mansion had a good family tradition, so she thought that if her daughter had more contact with the girls from the Tang family, perhaps her temper could be improved a little.

Even though the Crown Princess didn't like Murong Ling, she had to ask her sister to send a letter to her for the sake of Princess Qin.

When Lu Jiangnian heard that Yuan Wanru went to Huimapo, he felt angry and depressed. He kept hesitating whether he should chase after her and question Yuan Wanru.

Now that he heard that Murong Ling had also gone to Huimapo, any hesitation disappeared immediately.

"I have something else to do, so I'll leave first. You can pay for the tea."

After saying this, he left the private room without looking back.

Sun Huanzhi looked out of the window and saw that he had climbed onto the top and rode away on his horse.

"Didn't you make an appointment with me to go to the East Palace for a drink later?"

Why is there such an emergency all of a sudden?

Yuan Wanru, Lu Yun and Lu Miao were sitting in the carriage, talking excitedly.

Lu Yun was a little curious: "Most of our family's farms are in the southern suburbs of the capital. I have never been to the eastern suburbs. How did you know that there are chrysanthemums there?"

After all, Yuan Wanru rarely goes out all year round, unlike her, who often goes out with Wang Min.

"I hear people say it sometimes."

Yuan Wanru didn't want to dwell on this question, she smiled and said, "Third sister is good at making pastries. Let's pick more chrysanthemums today. Third sister will have to spend some time and effort later. It will be troublesome."

Lu Miao's aunt's surname is Luo. Aunt Luo's family runs a dim sum shop. Aunt Luo herself is an expert at making dim sum. Lu Miao followed her and learned this craft.

"Since my sister-in-law likes it, I will definitely make more. I won't feel tired."

She was the concubine's daughter of the second wife, and her life was not as good as Lu Yun's. She was always careful in her life in the mansion, and when she went out, she usually followed Zhou Fang, and she was trembling with fear every time.

It was really rare to be able to come out so easily. She was especially grateful to Yuan Wanru for remembering to bring her along.

When they arrived at the foot of Huimapo, Yuan Wanru suggested walking up the mountain, which could be considered an autumn outing.

Anyway, there is a large group of guards following them, so nothing will happen.

However, she didn't expect that she would regret this decision.

Because, not long after getting off the carriage, she actually met Murong Ling.

There were many farms at the foot of Huimapo, and as they were going uphill, they would pass by the Tang family's farm.

Murong Ling, wearing a fiery red dress and holding a horsewhip, was confronting a girl in front of the gate of Tang’s manor.

"Sun Haining, don't think that this princess is afraid of you. It was your maid who soiled my skirt. What's wrong with me asking her to kneel down? What's wrong with me whipping her?"

Yuan Wanru recognized her at a glance. Sun Haining was the girl she met by chance in Qingfeng Tower that day. It turned out that her name was Sun Haining.

She was wearing a riding suit today, which made her look heroic and more suitable for her than the outfit she wore that day.

She met Murong Ling's gaze without being servile or overbearing, and said in a clear and crisp voice: "Murong Ling, don't show off your power as a princess in front of me. My maid's eyes are on her face. Always be careful and pay attention to the road under your feet."

"But you, your eyes are on the top of your head, you didn't even look at the road, you bumped into me all of a sudden, I don't blame you for knocking down my people, but you want to get angry with her?"

"Do you think I, Sun Haining, am afraid of you?"

Yuan Wanru stared at Sun Haining in amazement. She felt that this girl was extraordinary and what she said was so true to her heart.

She said that she liked Sun Haining the first time she saw her, and it turned out that they really had similar interests.

They all hate Murong Ling.

Murong Ling was obviously very angry. She took out the horsewhip and was about to whip him, but Sun Haining snorted coldly: "If you dare to whip me, I will make you change the horsewhip again."

"I heard that within just one month, your whip was destroyed twice by Master Lu. I don't mind one more time."

Murong Ling was extremely furious, but it was a fact that she couldn't beat Sun Haining.

Most of the women in Beijing are delicate and soft, but Sun Haining is like a man who has mastered martial arts. Murong Ling can't get any good from her.

"Sun Haining, you are such a tomboy, no wonder you can't get married."

Sun Haining didn't mind her words at all. Instead, she laughed and said, "It's better for me not to get married than for you to beg for marriage but no one wants you."

Yuan Wanru burst out laughing as well.

These words really hit the nail on the head. Why did they sound so pleasant to her?

Lu Yun and Lu Miao were both very nervous. They wanted to take Yuan Wanru away quietly, but they didn't expect that she was so addicted to watching that she even made noises.

Sure enough, the two people who were arguing looked over when they heard the sound, and Murong Ling's face immediately became more ferocious.

"Yuan Wanru, it's actually you!"
