Bai Huiru had never been to school, and the only reason she caught the Marquis's eye was because of her beauty and Lu Seyan's excellence.
"Young master, could you please help us? Our carriage broke down." Bai Huiru said softly.
Lu Seyan was a little puzzled. Why did the kid from the Xia family appear here? And didn’t her mother have been to the Xia family before?
Why does it feel like she doesn't know the boy from the Xia family?
"mother!"
Bai Huiru pushed Lu Seyan's hand away and said, "Young Master, we are the women of the Marquis' Mansion in the capital. If you help us, we will definitely thank you very much."
Xie Heng glanced at Lu Seyan, but she didn't refute.
It is true that they are related to the Hou Mansion, but it is not appropriate to say that they are the female members of the Hou Mansion!
Lu Seyan didn't refute.
"Which mansion is it, Anyang Marquis's Manor or Zhongyong Marquis's Manor? But why are the women from there coming here? And looking at the ages of the two of you, they don't match."
"We are..." Bai Huiru was about to say, but was stopped by Lu Seyan.
After all, the identity of a mistress was not very glorious, and she felt that this guy knew their identities and was deliberately humiliating her.
"Mom, we don't need help from the Xia family."
"Xia family, do you know him?" Bai Huiru didn't even think about Xia Jinjun's family. She was still thinking about what rank the Xia family in Beijing was.
As a concubine, she had never been to any big occasions. People were disdainful of associating with her. The few people she knew were all concubines and mistresses of officials who were similar to her.
Lu Seyan frowned, "Don't you know him? Isn't it the Xia family you know?"
"Which one do I know? You mean Xia Jinjun's family...he...I have never seen him." Bai Huiru was a little confused. How could there be such a handsome child in the Xia family?
The Xia family also has three boys, but they can't compare with others.
Lu Seyan looked at Xie Heng suddenly, "Aren't you Xia Zhiliao's brother?"
Xie Heng curled his lips, "Yes!"
"That's not right, I've seen those three guys before!"
"Does it have to be your biological brother?" Xie Heng asked back.
Lu Seyan stared at him. No wonder she felt that this guy was different when she first met him. She was really careless at that time. How could those bumpkins in the Xia family raise such a temperamental child?
"So you also know the Xia family, that's great, we also know the Xia family, and we have a good relationship with them, young master..."
Xie Heng sneered, "Really? A good relationship?"
Bai Huiru smiled and nodded, "It's fine, really."
"You said it well, but you flirted with the father, provoke the mother, and speak wildly to the little girl. That's good, haha!"
Bai Huiru looked embarrassed.
Lu Seyan was proud and arrogant, and because of her intelligence and wisdom, she was always able to resolve the humiliation of those noble ladies, but this time she was really embarrassed.
"Don't go too far!" Lu Seyan said.
"What did I do? I just said a few words. If you can't stand it, then can the mother and daughter stand it?" Xie Heng asked back.
"You...you shut up, I'm telling you, we are from the Hou Mansion, you should help us quickly, otherwise, I will make you pay for it!"
Xie Heng glanced at Bai Huiru coldly, "You are just a concubine, yet you dare to use the name of the Marquis' Mansion as a pretext. I want to see how you can make me suffer."
"You... wait, what's your name?" Bai Huiru looked fierce but was actually timid. She decided to lose the fight rather than the battle.
Xie Heng smiled coldly, "Xie Heng, but soon I will be called Wen Heng."
"Wen Heng? Which one? Why haven't I heard of him?"
Lu Seyan pulled her mother's hand and said, "If he doesn't want to help, then don't help. We don't need his help."
Xie Heng glanced at Ling He and said, "Let's go. This is what happens when you bully others."
The corners of Ling He's mouth twitched. When did his young master become so vicious?
After the master and servant walked away, Bai Huiru pointed in the direction they left and cursed.
"How dare a nameless person look down on us? Yanyan, let's go back and tell the Eighth Prince, and make him pay for it. Sometimes he'll be called Wen Heng, sometimes he'll be called Xie Heng. Anyway, I remember his face."
Lu Seyan frowned and said, "Mom, don't mention the Hou Mansion for no reason in the future."
"What's wrong with that? We are from the Marquis's Mansion. You are the Marquis' daughter and I am the Marquis' woman. This is a fact."
"Aren't you ashamed of having a mistress?" Lu Seyan said with an unhappy look on her face.
"Why should I be ashamed? That's my ability. I'm a country girl, but I can become the woman of Lord Hou. That's because I have great skills..."
"Wait..." Lu Seyan raised her hand to stop her mother from talking nonsense, "Wen Heng, could he be..."
"What is it?" Bai Huiru said disapprovingly, "There are many people with the last name Wen in the world, but they are not members of the royal family."
"No, he is very likely the emperor's son!" Lu Seyan said.
"What? Yanyan, stop teasing your mother. Don't you know all the princes?" Bai Huiru asked nervously.
Lu Seyan shook her head. “I know all the people in Beijing, but… there is one more person I have never seen before.”
"You mean... that?"
"That's right." Lu Seyan took a deep breath.
"So what?" Bai Huiru disagreed. "If that's the case, what right does he have to look down on us? I'm a concubine, at least the Marquis still favors me. His mother is still disliked by the emperor, even worse than a concubine. Besides, the Eighth Prince's mother was his favorite concubine in the past. You have the Eighth Prince's support, and the Crown Prince treats you very well. Why should we be afraid of him?"
Lu Seyan nodded slightly, "Of course I'm not afraid, but..."
"Don't say but, you must win the prince's heart. I'm an experienced person..."
"Mom!" Lu Seyan frowned, "Don't say that anymore, and don't get involved in my affairs."
"I am doing this for your own good. Now that your father is gone, shouldn't I make plans for you? If you marry the crown prince, you will be the crown princess, and in the future the queen. I will also be very proud of you. Let's see who dares to look down on us."
Lu Seyan looked unhappy, but she felt relieved in her heart.
Everyone thought that it was natural for the prince to ascend the throne, but she thought otherwise.
It is true that the emperor dotes on the prince, but he loves the son that his beloved woman gave birth to at great risk of her life even more.
"What should we do?" Bai Huiru said as she looked at the carriage whose wheels had fallen off.
Lu Seyan had a headache, she also wanted to know what to do?
"Ling He, when you get to Beijing, go check where this embroidery method comes from?"
Ling He took the handkerchief wrapped with the snack and said, "It's quite nice, Master. Where did you get it?"
"The aunt from the Xia family brought this here because she was afraid I would be hungry on the road. This embroidery technique is unusual, and it may be related to her life experience."
"You know what, the Xia family treats you very well." Ling He sighed while eating the sweet snacks.
"Go teach the Xia family's kid some martial arts later. I've tested him and he's a good candidate for martial arts."
"You...you want to use him?" Ling He asked.
Xie Heng shook his head, "No!"
