Chapter 3 The Prime Minister's Wife 3

The next day

Luo Xi woke up in bed. As soon as she opened her eyes, she saw the person sitting by her bedside, asleep with his eyes closed, his left hand still holding her left hand.

Luo Xi silently watched him for a while.

At this moment, Lu Zhi probably noticed her gaze. He opened his eyes and saw Luo Xi staring at him without moving.

Lu Zhi helped her sit up. "Xi'er, you're awake?"

Luo Xi gripped the blanket tightly, her beautiful eyes wide with tears as she said, "Lu Zhi, I...I..."

Lu Zhi noticed her subtle movements, and he gently hugged her, comforting her, "Xi'er, this matter is over, no one knows about it."

"Can you just forget about this?"

"This is not your fault."

Luo Xi lowered her eyes and said softly, "Okay."

The next day.

Lu Zhi and Luo Xi's wedding banquet arrived as scheduled.

Many officials came, and some who didn't come sent gifts.

Luo Xi, dressed in a red wedding gown and with a red veil covering her head, holding a red fan in her hand, was led step by step into the main hall by Lu Zhi, who was smiling in his eyes.

"First bow to Heaven and Earth."

"Bowing to the parents twice."

"Husband and wife bow to each other."

"Sent to the bridal chamber"

night.

Inside the bridal chamber.

Luo Xi lay on the red bed, her fair body intertwined with the red blankets...

Lu Zhi covered her, pressing Luo Xi's hands above her head, and showering her chest with kisses...

Two months later.

The Princess's Residence.

Flower viewing banquet.

Luo Xi did not know any noble ladies in the capital, so Lu Zhi invited her cousin Wen Qingqing (daughter of Minister Wen) to go with Luo Xi.

Wen Qingqing took Luo Xi's hand and walked into the Princess's residence, saying as they walked, "Sister-in-law, the pastries at the Princess's residence are delicious. You can try them all."

Luo Xi smiled and nodded, "Hmm, I believe that, after all, you have a very discerning palate."

As Luo Xi and her companions walked around a corner, they overheard these words.

"She was just a peasant girl, her parents were gone, and she married Prime Minister Lu based solely on her looks."

"Hmph, who knows what underhanded tricks they might have used."

As Li Shishi (daughter of Li Taifu) walked, she spoke to the woman beside her, her voice not quiet at all.

At this moment, Li Shishi saw Luo Xi. She wore a disdainful expression on her face, as if she was certain that Luo Xi wouldn't dare to do anything to her.

She released the woman's hand, covered her mouth, and looked at Luo Xi with feigned surprise, "Oh, Mrs. Lu is here too!"

"What I just said was all a joke, I hope you don't mind."

As a noblewoman from a prominent family, she naturally looked down on Luo Xi.

Wen Qingqing: !!!

She was furious.

Just as she was about to speak, Luo Xi grabbed her hand.

Her expression remained unchanged, and she said in a calm and even tone, "I mind."

"What?"

Li Shishi wondered if she had misheard.

However, seeing the shocked expressions on everyone's faces, she knew she hadn't misheard.

But Luo Xi is just a peasant girl, how dare she say that?

"Smack!"

Luo Xi released Wen Qingqing's hand, took two steps toward Li Shishi, and slapped her hard under her bewildered gaze.

Li Shishi covered her left cheek, looking at her in disbelief.

Luo Xi shook her right hand and said with a half-smile, "I'm not a peasant girl anymore, I'm Lu Zhi's wife now, have you forgotten?"

How dare they treat her so disrespectfully.

Lu Zhi had told her that she didn't need to pay attention to anyone except the princess.

Since Lu Zhi has said so, why should she endure it?

As for whether she would offend anyone or not, she didn't think that far ahead; she just wanted to fight first.

Anyway, isn't there still Lu Zhi?

"Tsk, you're so shameless. My hand is red from hitting you."

Li Shishi: !!!

Everyone: !!!
