Chapter 325: Declining Beauty
The prosperous Qin family sent away four children in just over half a month.
Fortunately, the Qin family did not send them away in the same manner as they saw off Qin Feng.
Lao Liu in the carriage had been holding a locked box tightly in his hands since he got in. No one knew how many valuable items he had put in it.
In contrast, Qin Xiangnuan had nothing in her hands and couldn't help but chuckle.
"Miss Third, has Prince Jiang ever told you about my father and the others?" The Sixth Old Man suddenly asked.
Qin Xiangnuan didn't even need to think about it and shook her head at him.
Lao Liu didn't say anything about this, but the topic was interrupted and silence spread. Not long after, Lao Liu asked Qin Xiangnuan another question.
Qin Xiangnuan then realized that he was too nervous and couldn't help but persuade him, "Why don't you get some sleep? You'll be there when you wake up."
After hearing this, Lao Liu's eyes gradually widened, as if he just realized that there was such a choice. So he nodded and closed his eyes without saying a word.
Qin Xiangnuan also slowly closed her eyes afterwards.
Perhaps because they were in a good mood, the two of them actually slept in front of Jiang Lin's door. They didn't even know when the carriage stopped.
After the carriage stopped, the driver didn't see the people inside come out for a long time, so he went out and called them.
"Are we there yet?" Lao Liu suddenly woke up and for a moment he accidentally knocked over the box in his hand.
The loud noise also made Qin Xiangnuan open her eyes. She looked down and saw that the box was right in the middle of Lao Liu's feet.
"Are you okay?" Qin Xiangnuan frowned and reached out to catch the box lifted by Lao Liu. The box in her hand was quite heavy. Qin Xiangnuan put it aside and went to check Lao Liu's feet.
He must have been hurt by the hit. Although Lao Liu didn't shout out, you could guess it from his face.
"Let me show you." Qin Xiangnuan said as she stretched out her hand towards Lao Liu's feet.
"Miss San." Lao Liu stopped him. "Forget it, we're already here. Let's go in first."
"Can you walk like this?" Qin Xiangnuan frowned, "Let me take a look first."
"No need." Lao Liu pushed Qin Xiangnuan away, insisting on getting off the car first.
Qin Xiangnuan had no choice but to obey him. Lao Liu awkwardly got under the carriage, turned around and stretched out his hand to Qin Xiangnuan.
Qin Xiangnuan was about to say no, but she saw Lao Liu withdraw his hand first and look up at her.
"Miss Third, please give me that box." Lao Liu said.
Qin Xiang's eyes froze for a moment, then he returned to the carriage with a smile and carried out the heavy treasure chest.
When Lao Liu reached out his hand again, Qin Xiangnuan dodged his hand and said, "Let me hold it for you. It will be more inconvenient for you to walk if you hold it."
The carriage had just gotten off with difficulty, so Lao Liu no longer insisted.
The guards outside the door changed in waves. They were not familiar with Qin Xiangnuan and the others, so they directly stopped them outside the door.
"Our prince will not see you, please go back."
The guard was still very polite in his words, but judging from what he said, it seemed that someone else had come recently, and more than once.
Qin Xiangnuan said to them, "Why don't you tell them that I'm Qin Xiangnuan."
"No matter who you are, our prince will not see you!" The guard's gaze lingered on Lao Liu for a moment.
Lao Liu, who had been silent the whole time, received the other party's inexplicable gaze and couldn't help but frown.
"Why are you looking at me?" Lao Liu glared at him. "You haven't told your prince yet, so how do you know he won't see us?"
"With you here, the prince will definitely not see me." The guard sneered, "I'm also kindly advising you not to focus on these things. Our prince has rejected so many of you, why don't you learn your lesson?"
These words left Qin Xiangnuan and Lao Liu confused and they couldn't understand them for a moment.
Seeing that the man had stayed here without moving an inch, the guards' patience seemed to be exhausted in an instant.
"Hurry up and leave. You can still be safe if you leave now. Don't expect us to have a good time when our prince comes."
They understood the second half of the sentence, Jiang Lin was not in the mansion at this time.
"May I ask if Anfeng and Anliu are here?" Lao Liu did not give up and continued to ask.
The guard gave him a look of admiration and said, "You are really thorough in your inquiries."
Lao Liu wanted to raise the corner of his mouth, but was stopped halfway by the other party's sudden change of attitude.
"No matter how carefully we inquire, our prince will still look down on you!" The guard's disdain was clear.
Lao Liu was momentarily stunned by his words. Did he just hear something extraordinary? Lao Liu slowly turned to Qin Xiangnuan.
The expression on Qin Xiangnuan's face was a little unpredictable for a moment, and finally she seemed to be smiling.
"What did you mean just now?" The smile in Qin Xiangnuan's eyes was too shallow, but the smile at the corner of her mouth was still there.
The guard thought Qin Xiangnuan was expressing disdain for his words, so he said to her, "You are smarter than others, dressed more normally, and carrying such a big box of things."
"But our prince won't even look at you. You'd better go back." The guard pointed at Lao Liu and said, "There are many beauties sent to the prince, and this is the ugliest one I have ever seen."
“…”
Lao Liu understood, but he was even more confused. Qin Xiangnuan couldn't help but tilt her head and laugh.
Lao Liu was speechless and didn't know whether to refute the other party that he was not the one to be given to Jiang Lin, or to refute that he was not the ugliest one.
"Sixth Brother, let's go wait over there." Qin Xiangnuan smiled and pulled the speechless Old Sixth Brother.
Lao Liu nodded exhaustedly and moved with difficulty to the side of the carriage.
As they changed, they didn't notice the guard gave them a probing look.
"Miss San." When Lao Liu sat down, he finally came to his senses. "If I understood correctly, someone must have offered a man to Prince Jiang, right?"
Qin Xiangnuan nodded, "More than once, maybe it was just male beauty."
Lao Liu had a blank expression on his face. No expression could express his feelings at the moment. "How could this happen?"
Qin Xiangnuan shook her head. Jiang Lin had never mentioned this to her in the letter, but from what the guard said, Jiang Lin must be a little troubled by this, but he did not prevent it from happening.
It seems that if you want to know the truth, you have to ask Jiang Lin himself.
Suddenly, I heard a gurgling sound and looked up to see the shy look on the third brother's face.
When Qin Xiangnuan looked over, the third brother stammered, "I couldn't eat anything this morning, and now..."
"It's time to eat." They had originally planned to eat after arriving, but now they had to deal with it in the carriage.
Fortunately, when they came out, Liu forced some food into their mouths. It turned out that the elders had foresight.
Just after Qin Xiangnuan had put everything in place, the sound of horse hooves was heard outside.
The two of them couldn't help but stop what they were doing and simultaneously looked outside.
No human figure could be seen on the horse in the distance, but both of them stared at that place closely.
