Chapter 15 Shameless Vixen
Others at most looked at her with disdain, thinking that this merchant's daughter was truly vulgar, and they wished they could carry all their family fortune on their heads to bring her out.
However, Qi Qingyao frowned and said with a stern face, "Chen family? Could it be that my sister-in-law is also dressed like this?"
Princess Qi had previously specifically told her that the palace was deserted, and that she should spend more time with her sister-in-law after she got married. She couldn't sit idle anyway, so she would take her sister-in-law with her on weekdays, whether it was boating on the lake or drinking tea and appreciating flowers, so that her sister-in-law wouldn't be lonely in the palace.
But if her sister-in-law was like the two girls from the Chen family, Qi Qingyao felt that they might not be able to drink tea and appreciate the flowers together.
Qi Qingyao was feeling depressed when she saw Princess Qi leading a woman towards them from the corner of her eye.
She had a good relationship with Qi Muchao. She was shocked to hear the news that Qi Muchao was going to get married a few days ago. She had long wanted to meet her sister-in-law. When she saw her, she couldn't wait to look over.
When she saw his face, Qi Qingyao opened her mouth and immediately smiled.
She said that if her sister-in-law was the same as the two girls from the Chen family, how could Brother Mu Chao possibly like her?
When she looked at Lu Wanning, Lu Wanning happened to look at her as well. The softness in her eyes slowly appeared, and she nodded slightly to her and saluted.
"Sister-in-law, there's no need to be so polite. There aren't so many rules in my own family," she said, smiling as she walked down from the pavilion. It was obvious that Lu Wanning was very appealing to her. "Sister-in-law, you can just call me Qingyao."
Princess Qi nodded her head, turned around and looked at Lu Wanning, and said gently, "That's right. This girl is used to being wild. She has traveled all over the capital. She knows exactly where to eat and where to have fun. You two are of similar age. If you can get along well, you can make an appointment to go out for a stroll together later so that you don't get bored staying at home."
Lu Wanning's eyelashes trembled slightly.
One wrong step in life can make a world of difference.
In her previous life, during the two years she lived in the Chen Mansion, she could count on one hand the number of times she stepped out of the gate.
If she wanted to go out, she could only sneak out of the willow courtyard. She was always terrified, fearing that Mrs. Chen would suddenly come looking for her while she was outside.
Later, Chen Wenjian discovered that she was out. Although he didn't say anything to her, he directly ordered people to lock up the Liuyuan and even blocked the dog hole.
And now, she and Qi Muchao have not yet married, but Princess Qi is already looking for friends for her to play with.
Qi Qingyao obviously liked Lu Wanning very much. She took her arm and walked into the pavilion, introducing everyone in the pavilion to her one by one.
Speaking of which, there was an acquaintance in the pavilion, and that was Luo Li, the daughter of the prime minister, who had chatted and laughed with Chen Wenjian while shopping in a jewelry store in the previous life.
In stark contrast to the arrogance and disdain she had when she looked at Lu Wanning in her previous life, her attitude now, although not good, was not confrontational either.
Seeing Lu Wanning mingling with these noble ladies, Miss Chen Er and Miss Chen San in the corner both turned pale.
They finally made up their minds to swallow their pride and get close to Lu Wanning, hoping that she would be more sensible and take them to make themselves familiar to these noble ladies.
Unexpectedly, before they even got close to Lu Wanning, Qi Qingyao's eyes swept over and she tutted at them twice, "Stay away from me, you're blinding me."
There were bursts of laughter coming from the side. The two were so embarrassed and ashamed that they didn't even bother to figure out who was laughing at them. They could only try to reduce their presence as much as possible and dared not get close to Lu Wanning anymore.
"It's all mother's fault. She told me these hairpins were too ugly, but she still insisted on wearing so many of them." The third girl said angrily.
The second girl squinted her eyes and looked at Lu Wanning who was standing calmly among a group of noble ladies. For some reason, she felt a little regretful in her heart.
Her mother said that Princess Qi was rude and cruel, and Lu Wanning would inevitably be tortured after marrying into the family. However, no matter how she looked at Princess Qi, she didn't seem to be rude and cruel.
If this marriage had not been given to Lu Wanning, would she be the one standing among those noble ladies right now?
Jealousy gradually grew, and the second girl had to comfort herself that there was still a long time to go, and since Lu Wanning had not married in yet, Princess Qi would certainly not reveal her true colors. After she married in, things would develop as her mother said.
It must be like this.
Luo Li sat down next to the two of them, her eyes soft, "Why aren't you two sisters talking?"
The second girl bit her lip but didn't say anything.
But finally someone was willing to come and talk to them, and she was the daughter of the prime minister. However, the third lady ignored everything else and started talking directly to Luo Li.
Although she looked a little embarrassed, she was very good at complimenting people. "This sister looks so beautiful. Unlike us, we put anything we think is beautiful on our heads and then get laughed at for nothing."
"Just like it, don't worry about it too much."
Luo Li turned her eyes. A smart person like her could naturally see that there was something wrong with the way these two people looked at the future Crown Prince's Consort.
She also had a basic understanding of the recent situation in the Chen Mansion and knew that the future Crown Prince's Consort was just the niece of the concubine of the Chen Mansion.
She had no intention of making enemies, but she also had no intention of making friends with him.
"Miss Luo is right. After all, not everyone can be that shameless vixen."
Luo Li followed her gaze to Lu Wanning and frowned slightly, "Fox charmer?"
Seeing that she wanted to hear more, the second young lady immediately said, "Miss Luo, you don't know, this Lu Wanning is originally the niece of our concubine in the Marquis' Mansion. After her parents died, she came to the capital and took refuge in our Chen Mansion. But in the past three years, this woman has relied on her good looks to flirt with everyone she sees."
"My mother kindly found a decent match for her and let her marry him as his legal wife. But this man turned out to be ungrateful and turned his back on her. He knocked my brother unconscious and left him with the man my mother had found for her."
As she spoke, the second girl felt that what she said was true, and she became more and more angry.
But she didn't notice at all that Luo Li's originally calm eyes suddenly turned cold when she heard that Lu Wanning had knocked Chen Wenjian unconscious.
"Is it the absurd story that was spread at Mrs. Chen's birthday party a while ago?"
The second girl nodded repeatedly, "Of course, my brother is a very upright person, that's obvious to everyone."
Luo Li didn't believe the ridiculous rumors about Chen Wenjian being a homosexual.
Although I know that what the second and third ladies of the Chen family said cannot be fully trusted, at least it is true that this matter must be related to the future prince's consort.
So the look she gave Lu Wanning suddenly became hostile.
Princess Qi couldn't stay in a crowded place for too long, so she asked Qi Qingyao to accompany Lu Wanning and then went back to rest.
As soon as she left, Qi Qingyao immediately winked at Lu Wanning and said, "Let's go to the front and watch the pot-tossing game. Brother Mu Chao is also in the front, and he's very accurate at it."
A group of girls walked over together, laughing and joking. Luo Li and the second and third girls walked past Lu Wanning and bumped into her lightly.
Lu Wanning stumbled, and Qi Qingyao quickly supported her, "Sister-in-law, be careful."
