Rong Xi really likes Lu'er more and more. What she says is really to his liking.

The little maid opposite was obviously angry and came over to grab Rong Xi.

Lu'er was also quick-eyed and quick-handed, and pushed the person away.

"What are you doing? You want to take over even though others are not leaving."

Rong Xi suddenly wanted to see who was looking for him. Since the maid was so presumptuous, it was not impossible to teach the person behind it a lesson.

"Where is your lady?"

When Lu'er heard this, she quickly stopped him and said, "Girl, you can't go."

Rong Xi patted her shoulder soothingly, "It's okay."

Seeing that Rong Xi was indeed going to follow her, the little maid turned around arrogantly, saying "This way" and left.

Rong Xi was so angry that she laughed. What kind of master is behind such a maid?

The two followed the maid to the teahouse across the street, and only saw the man in the private room upstairs.

"Miss Liu'er, please take a seat."

Although the person inside had a sick look on his face, he could be seen to be a gentle person. His every move and gesture carried the aura of aristocratic family, but rather than being noble, he seemed more old-fashioned.

Rong Xi was sitting opposite her, and from here, he could just see everything that had just happened below.

"This lady invited me here in this way, wouldn't she just want to invite me over for tea?"

After drinking the tea, Lu Shiyi wiped the invisible tea stains at the corners of her mouth with a handkerchief before speaking again.

"I'm so sorry, Miss Liu'er. I invited you here without handing you a visiting card. I don't know the etiquette. I hope Miss Liu'er will forgive me."

"Just tell me, what do you want to do?"

"Miss Liu'er seems to be hostile to me."

"Your maidservant is so ignorant of etiquette and forced me to come here from the street. I thought the person behind this must be an elderly woman who would allow her servants to do such a thing. I didn't expect that the girl is so young and gentle, and the servants would do the same. It really opened my eyes."

Lu Shiyi's face changed and she coughed in anger.

"Ahem, Xiao Cui, didn't I tell you to invite people politely? Why are you... ahem, ahem."

Xiao Cui quickly knelt down and said, "Miss, Xiao Cui knows she was wrong. Please don't be angry."

"You should apologize to Miss Liu'er."

Xiao Cui immediately changed direction and kowtowed to Rong Xi.

"Miss Liu'er, I know I was wrong. Please don't make my lady angry anymore. My lady is not in good health."

Rong Xi didn't let Xiao Cui, who was kneeling on the ground, get up, and asked directly.

"Ms. Lu, you didn't ask me to come here just to put on a show, did you? If you don't tell me, I'm leaving."

"You...how do you know I'm Miss Lu?"

"Humph, apart from you, there wouldn't be any other young lady in Shengjing who would take the initiative to find me a concubine. I've heard a lot of rumors about Miss Lu recently. Miss Lu is really devoted to Brother Jin."

Since Lu Shiyi came out, she thought of the other party's various personalities, so she was not surprised to hear this.

"Excuse me, Miss Liu'er. I came here today to discuss something with you. My family is so worried about me that they went to the palace to find my sister. Please, Your Majesty, grant me and Brother Jin a marriage."

When Lu Shiyi said this, she was watching Rong Xi's reaction, but she was not as shocked as she expected. She wondered why.

"so what?"

"I know that Brother Jin only has you in his heart, but to be frank, with your status, you can't be Brother Jin's legal wife. If you are willing to accept me, I will ask my sister to ask His Majesty to agree to let Brother Jin marry you as his concubine."

Rong Xi sneered, "Your Majesty has granted me the marriage, so congratulations, Miss Lu. I am just a concubine. Whether I accept you or not has no impact on you. You shouldn't come to me, but to the person who is responsible for this matter. If he agrees, I naturally have no complaints."

Lu'er looked at the girl with heartache. She was already looked down upon because of her status as a concubine, and the Shangshu Mansion had repeatedly tried every means to make her leave. Now, a man who had not yet entered the mansion also came to look for the girl.

Lu Shiyi spoke again.

"I know, but I don't want to hurt you. I have no choice. I have decided not to be bound by Brother Jin anymore, but no one dares to disobey His Majesty's order, so I asked Miss Liu'er to come here today. I promise that after marriage, it will not affect your relationship, nor will it affect your position in Brother Jin's heart. Miss Liu'er, we are both women, you should know the difficulties women face."

Rong Xi looked at Xiao Cui who was kneeling on the ground. She had moved several times because of the pain.

"Are you done?"

"That's all. Miss Liu'er, if you have any ideas or requests, please feel free to..."

"Lu'er, let's go..."

Rong Xi took Lu'er and walked straight out of the private room, pretending not to hear the people behind her trying to keep her.

I no longer had the desire to go shopping, so I took Lu'er back to Jinyuan.

In the carriage, Rong Xi kept thinking that it was not time to leave now. The emperor had issued an edict to grant the marriage, and even if Chu Jinzhi had great ability, he would not be able to disobey the order.

Rong Xi leaned against the carriage and sighed deeply, her left hand quietly touching her already bulging belly.

"My child, I, your mother, have no other choice. If I can't let you down, I can only let you down."

When Lu'er heard the girl's sigh, she knew that she must be feeling bad, but her comfort was too pale, so she could only stay with her longer.

Rong Xi closed the door and went to sleep as soon as he returned to Jinyuan. He lay on the couch and tossed and turned like a cook, unable to fall asleep.

"System, tell me if it's okay for me to forcibly pack up Chu Jinzhi and take him away."

System […Rong Xi, do you want to hear the truth? ]
