Chapter 334 The Gift Collided


0

Old Madam Lu turned her eyes to the calm Lu Seyan. She was not angry at all, but rather very composed, which gave the old lady some expectations.

And although the eldest granddaughter's marriage was considered good, she was, after all, a concubine. In the royal palace, she was called a concubine, and in an ordinary wealthy family, she was at most a concubine.

A concubine, not a wife.

Therefore, the maiden’s family members cannot be considered as the legitimate relatives of the palace.

To put it bluntly, if it weren't for the powerful Prince Rui, this would be a bad marriage.

No matter how poor their Hou family is, they would never become someone else's concubine.

You have to know that the status of a concubine and the wife of the main house is not even a little bit different.

Even if she is the most favored concubine in a respectable family, she is still not considered presentable.

Although the eldest granddaughter's situation is better than that one, with her brain, unless she gives birth to a boy, the pampering, even if there is one, will not last long.

She has always been a lady in a marquis's mansion, so how could she be so subservient to the mistress?

Therefore, Mrs. Lu could only feel that this marriage was just a makeshift one, but she still had hope for Lu Seyan.

After all, the unknown is valuable.

"You can't say that. You are all girls from the Hou Mansion. Grandmother hopes that you will marry well."

"She?" Lu Ruoyan continued to brag, "She used to be close to the Eighth Prince, but now the Eighth Prince is inseparable from the girl from the Xia family. Of the remaining ones, I wonder which one my sister has taken a fancy to?"

Lu Se remained calm and said, "I don't have the good luck of my sister to choose a good place to live by myself. My grandmother still has to make the decision. I am young, so how can I think so much."

Madam Lu nodded in satisfaction, "Se Yan is younger than you, and she just returned to the Hou Mansion, so naturally she is not as familiar with you as you are. There is no rush for her marriage."

Lu Ruoyan finally stopped comparing herself with Lu Seyan, "Grandma, I'm going to enter the palace. Prince Rui is the future crown prince that everyone is optimistic about. My dowry can't be less."

"Besides, it was the Emperor who granted the marriage. It would be so embarrassing if I were not there."

"Of course, but we can't go beyond Princess Rui."

Lu Ruoyan snorted coldly, "Her father is only a second-rank official, and it's a sinecure. How can he compare to our Hou Mansion? If he is less than her, then what do I have?"

"That being said, she is the principal wife after all. You must not behave like this when you go to the palace in the future. Do you understand?"

This is what Mrs. Lu is most worried about.

She knew that Lu Ruoyan would not give in easily. Before, she had only thought about finding someone of equal status so that she could be the principal wife and her mother-in-law would not make things too difficult for her. But now, she is not only a concubine, but also a principal wife.

"Grandma, she is a concubine now, but I remember there were concubines who became queens."

"Yes, but..."

Madam Lu was interrupted by Lu Ruoyan before she finished her words, "It's fine if there is one. If I'm pregnant with a boy, this will be the firstborn."

"You're pregnant?" Madam Lu was a little excited, but she had only been back for a few days and it had not been a month since the incident, so she was obviously too anxious.

"It's hard to say now, but everything is possible."

Before Madam Lu could say something, a report came in from outside that the princess and young county ladies from Princess Yi Yang's mansion had arrived.

"What are they here for?" Mrs. Lu looked at the old lady.

Mrs. Lu was also a little puzzled, but since they were here, there was no reason not to entertain them. "Please invite them in."

However, by coincidence, as soon as Xia Zhiliao and her mother sat down, the nanny from Prince Rui's Mansion arrived.

【What a coincidence. 】

Chang Yue also felt a little embarrassed.

She naturally knew the current relationship between the two families. If she had known that someone was coming from Prince Rui's Mansion, she would not have chosen this time.

But now that I'm here, I can only sit there.

She glanced at her little daughter.

[Mom, I'm useless now, let's just sit for a while and then go. ]

But in the end, Xia Zhiliao felt even more embarrassed when he learned that the Prince Rui's Mansion was also there to deliver medicinal herbs.

The same goes for Chang Yue.

[It's over, it's over. According to the routine, Princess Rui is going to make sure Lu Ruoyan has no chance of getting pregnant. I'm afraid there's something wrong with this medicine. We're also sending herbal medicine. Isn't this asking for trouble? ]

Chang Yue broke out in a cold sweat. He had come to express his gratitude but didn't know what to give. Then he heard that the old lady was not in good health, so he decided to give her some supplements.

But who would have thought that Princess Rui would also send someone to deliver supplements.

Although it is not for the same person, it is better to have less trouble than more.

Chang Yue originally placed all the herbs on the table, among which was the best ginseng. She quietly moved the box back.

[My mother also noticed this? ]

Chang Yuexin said that she didn't have that ability, but since her daughter said so, it must be possible.

[My mother wants to take the herbs back? Go ahead, take them. Don't be embarrassed. If something really happens, it won't be a matter of embarrassment.]

Chang Yue was indeed a little embarrassed, but when he thought about it, what his daughter said made sense.

If the incident really gets out of hand, what good will it do to feel embarrassed?

The maid in the palace glanced at Chang Yue and Xia Zhiliao, and also glanced at their boxes. Having seen Shi Guang, she guessed what was inside.

And what a coincidence, the cloth used to wrap them was the same. She curled her lips, thinking that God was really helping her.

She greeted everyone, explained her purpose and left.

Lu Ruoyan looked at the box and felt proud. The princess said that she was afraid that she would be frightened, so she sent some supplements to calm her down. In fact, she was just trying to show her goodwill.

Chang Yue had already pulled the ginseng box to his side and picked it up.

This action seemed a little unbelievable to the Lu family.

What? You want to take back the things you put down?

Chang Yue smiled and said, "I came here to thank the Second Miss for helping my son."

She held the box tightly, which seemed a bit petty to the Lu family. If she didn't want to give it to him, then she didn't have to give it to him. It was as if someone was trying to snatch it from her.

But when I think about how long she has been in the countryside, I understand.

"You are too polite, my princess." Lu Seyan said, "I am just telling the truth."

"To you it's just the truth, but to our Xia Jiang, it's about innocence."

Originally, they were going to talk about giving gifts, but since the things had been taken back, Chang Yue felt a little embarrassed.

The Lu family is also waiting, so just talk.

So what's the purpose of this trip?

Xia Zhiliao saw his mother's embarrassment, so he said, "We heard that you, old lady, are not in good health. I happen to know some medical skills. If you don't mind, I can take a look at you."

There’s no way. There’s nothing I can do.

Madam Lu's eyes lit up, "Don't despise me, the county lady's medical skills are praised by the empress dowager, I am so lucky."

As expected of the previous generation’s champion of house fighting, he is so good at speaking.

Xia Zhiliao smiled and said, "Then I will show off my ugliness!"
