When she saw Lu Xingzhou, Hong Ling happily came forward to greet him, but when she saw Chen Liyue, she felt displeased for a moment, but then she turned her head away and didn't look at her.
Shen Liyue didn't care, she didn't care about these things.
"Brother, why are you here just now? Master is taking a nap now. You have to wait."
Lu Xingzhou smiled faintly and said, "It's okay. I have nothing to do this afternoon anyway. I'll talk to you after Master wakes up."
Hong Ling replied "OK" and turned to walk inside.
Lu Xingzhou called out to her, "Why don't you say hello when you see the princess?"
Hong Ling stopped and turned back, a little angrily, "What did I call her?"
Lu Xingzhou was silent. Although he was a prince, he did not care about these things in the sect. Hong Ling had never called him His Royal Highness Prince Yi, but always called him senior brother.
Now that Chen Liyue is here, she is the princess. Even if Hong Ling doesn't respectfully call her princess, she still has to call her sister-in-law.
"I am your senior brother, so you can call Yue'er sister-in-law."
Hong Ling glanced at Shen Liyue, her eyes full of dissatisfaction. Shen Liyue was not in a hurry and waited calmly for Hong Ling to speak.
Hong Ling became even angrier when she saw Chen Liyue's unhurried look, and she just didn't want to call her sister-in-law.
She liked Lu Xingzhou, and even her master could see it. But when her master decided to leave the palace and travel around the world, Hong Ling was still young and had not yet reached the age of marriage, so Hong Ling did not mention it at that time. But Hong Ling thought that Lu Xingzhou grew up with her, and their friendship was naturally different from that of others. Lu Xingzhou had not married for so many years, and Hong Ling always thought that Lu Xingzhou must be waiting for her.
Although Hong Ling had not seen Lu Xingzhou again for so many years, her master often communicated with Lu Xingzhou, and Lu Xingzhou would always say hello to Hong Ling in his letters. Hong Ling thought that Lu Xingzhou also had her in his heart.
The master did not tell him about Lu Xingzhou's marriage. He only told him about it on the way back to Wangjing.
Hong Ling was naturally dissatisfied with the sudden appearance of someone like Shen Liyue.
Hong Ling didn't say anything, and Lu Xingzhou showed no intention of easing the situation, so the few of them just stood there in a stalemate at the door.
Chen Liyue smiled and said, "If she doesn't want to call me that, then don't. Regardless, I'm her sister-in-law whether she calls me that or not. I accept this little junior sister as my own."
Hong Ling became even more unconvinced and started to defend herself, "You are not from our sect, so why call me Junior Sister?"
Hong Ling's meaning was very clear. She and Lu Xingzhou were both disciples of the master, and Shen Liyue was an outsider.
Shen Liyue was not angry. "You are right. I am not from your sect, but I am your senior brother's wife. From now on, I will call you Hong Ling like him."
Hong Ling ignored her and turned around to go inside.
Lu Xingzhou apologized to Chen Liyue, "I'm sorry. Master has always been very doting on her, and has made her so lawless. I'm sorry you've been wronged."
Shen Liyue shook her head. "It's okay. This has nothing to do with you, and I don't need you to apologize to me on her behalf."
Lu Xingzhou took Shen Liyue's hand and squeezed it. He knew that Shen Liyue had been wronged in this matter, and he was determined to "make it up" to her after returning.
Tang Daozi has always been a person who does his own thing and has always had the habit of taking naps. In addition, he is Lu Xingzhou's master, so it is reasonable for Lu Xingzhou and Chen Liyue to wait for a while.
Lu Xingzhou and Chen Liyue were not in a hurry. It happened that Chen Liyue had never been to this manor before, so Lu Xingzhou held Chen Liyue's hand and walked slowly around the manor.
Hong Ling got angry when she saw Lu Xingzhou holding Shen Liyue's hand. Although she was angry, she kept following him.
Lu Xingzhou talked to Shen Liyue and ignored her, but she didn't want to leave.
"Brother, you said before that there are snow lotuses on Tianshan Mountain. This time, Master and I went to Tianshan Mountain and picked some snow lotuses. Would you like to see them?"
Lu Xingzhou turned around and glanced at He Hongling, then said calmly, "No rush, let's wait and see."
Hong Ling pouted. Lu Xingzhou didn't ignore her, but he didn't really want to pay attention to her either.
Shen Liyue smiled and said, “Since it’s for you, you might as well take a look at it now.”
Shen Liyue turned to look at Hong Ling, "Sister Hong Ling, please fetch it for us to see."
Hong Ling glared at Shen Liyue fiercely, but still turned back to the room to get the snow lotus.
Shen Liyue felt a little funny in her heart. This Hong Ling was like a child who had not grown up.
Not long after, Hong Ling came back with the snow lotus. She handed it to Lu Xingzhou, but her eyes were always on Shen Liyue.
Lu Xingzhou took the snow lotus, examined it carefully, and nodded, "It is indeed a rare treasure."
Shen Liyue smiled and said, “Sister Hong Ling is really thoughtful.”
Hong Ling snorted, "Of course. I always care about my senior brother's affairs. This snow lotus grows on Tianshan Mountain. I put a lot of effort into picking just one. It's a good thing I went there. Most people wouldn't have the ability to do that."
Hong Ling said this while glancing at Shen Liyue.
Shen Liyue could tell that Hong Ling was secretly saying that she was not good at martial arts.
Shen Liyue had no intention of getting angry with her. Everyone was good at different things. Shen Liyue was indeed not as good as Hong Ling in martial arts, but she was good at making money.
"Hong Ling." Lu Xingzhou could hear the sarcasm in Hong Ling's tone and looked at Hong Ling with an unhappy expression.
Hong Ling also got angry when she saw Lu Xingzhou helping Shen Liyue, and turned and left with a pout.
Lu Xingzhou looked at Hong Ling's back and sighed helplessly.
Fortunately, Tang Daozi woke up at this time. When he heard that Lu Xingzhou had arrived, he sent someone to invite him.
Shen Liyue was a little surprised to see Tang Daozi.
She originally thought that a hermit like Tang Daozi should be an immortal with a youthful face and white hair, and be elegant and extraordinary.
But unexpectedly, Tang Daozi looked like Maitreya Buddha. He was not tall and a little fat, but his eyes and eyebrows were smiling.
He doesn't look like some hermit, but more like... an old naughty boy.
Chen Liyue has never judged people by appearance, not to mention that Tang Daozi is Lu Xingzhou's master.
When she saw Tang Daozi, Shen Liyue still saluted Tang Daozi respectfully.
"Okay, okay." Tang Daozi smiled. "No need to be so formal. I don't care about that here."
Shen Liyue smiled. Although Tang Daozi said so, she couldn’t really be so casual.
Lu Xingzhou handed the gift he brought to Tang Daozi. Tang Daozi was still cheerful and said, "Look at you guys, you just came, why do you bring any gifts?"
Lu Xingzhou smiled and said, "Master, open it and see what this is."
Upon hearing this, Tang Daozi opened the box and saw two stones in it. The two stones were crystal clear. Although they had been processed, it was obvious that their quality was excellent. If they were polished well, they would surely be dazzling.
"Okay, okay." Tang Daozi looked at the two stones and smiled from ear to ear. "This gift really touched my heart."
Lu Xingzhou smiled. He knew that his master would like this.
Tang Daozi has never cared about gold, silver and treasures. To him, those things are just external possessions, and he is not short of money.
But he has a hobby, which is collecting various stones. The rarer the stone, the more he likes it.
