Chapter 424 Confrontation
Because of the angle of the private room upstairs, the two of them couldn't see Jiang Tangtang's face clearly at first, and all their attention was on Lu Zhixi.
It was not until they went downstairs that they realized that the person standing next to Lu Zhixi was such a beautiful girl.
Fan Yanran felt inexplicably nervous and whispered, "Jianjia, who is that?"
Wen Jianjia also saw Jiang Tangtang and was shocked by her stunning beauty, just like Fan Yanran, but she didn't take it too seriously. "She must be a tradesman who shows off to the public, just like her!"
She had heard a long time ago that Lu Zhixi was now acting like a man, going around doing business, without any sense of being a noble lady.
"Is it a merchant? He doesn't look like one." Fan Yanran thought about the rumors she had heard outside and said nervously, "Could it be His Majesty?"
The two were originally whispering in each other's ears, but this time Wen Jianjia almost couldn't control her voice, "How is it possible! How could His Majesty go shopping hand in hand with her?"
Fan Yanran thought about it and felt that she was overthinking it. How could the ruler of a country have the time to go shopping with Lu Zhixi?
Moreover, she overheard her father's conversation a few days ago, in which he said that although Jiang was a disciple of an immortal, the greatest contribution to overthrowing the old dynasty and defeating the Western Rong was Lu Shiyan.
But Jiang relied on his status to steal Lu Shiyan's credit and wanted to seize all the power.
The reason why she hasn't held the coronation ceremony for so long is actually because she is playing a game with the Lu family. Her relationship with the Lu family is actually not that good.
His father has been in the court for many years, so what he said must make some sense.
Seeing that Fan Yanran didn’t speak, Wen Jianjia thought she was afraid and said, “Don’t treat a good-looking person as your majesty just because there are rumors that she looks like a fairy.
Don’t you think about how old she is now?
She's already a mother of three, how beautiful can she be? I think those rumors are mostly just nonsense made up by someone to flatter her."
After Wen Jianjia said this, Fan Yanran was completely relieved. She put on a proper smile on her face and said, "I was worrying too much."
Wen Jianjia urged in a low voice: "Sister Fan, hurry up, or they will leave."
After she finished speaking, she deliberately pulled Fan Yanran to the side of Lu Zhixi and Jiang Tangtang, pointed at one of the long gowns and said, "Boss, take this dress down and let me see it."
Fan Yanran glanced at Lu Zhixi lightly and said in a teasing tone, "Are you buying clothes for General Xie again? You two are really in love."
Wen Jianjia said shyly, "Don't talk nonsense."
Fan Yanran said, "Where did I say that? You two have been childhood sweethearts. If General Xie hadn't been framed and exiled here, you two would have been married long ago, right?"
"That's all in the past. Don't talk nonsense. It's bad for your cousin's reputation."
Although Wen Jianjia said this, her face showed a happy and shy expression, just like a girl in love.
Jiang Tangtang and Lu Zhixi were originally discussing the styles of clothes in the shop and did not notice the two people.
But the two of them kept calling him "General Xie", and Jiang Tangtang and Lu Zhixi's attention unconsciously shifted away from the clothes.
Now, throughout the country, there is no one else who can be called General Xie except Xie Xin.
Jiang Tangtang frowned slightly.
If she remembered correctly, Xie Xin and her sister-in-law should have been discussing marriage!
If the mother-in-law hadn't wanted to make more preparations to make her sister-in-law's wedding more glorious, the wedding would have been done by now!
Where did this childhood sweetheart come from?
She reached out and held Lu Zhixi's hand, but Lu Zhixi was looking at the two of them at this moment.
Feeling Lu Zhixi's gaze, Wen Jianjia felt an inexplicable sense of pleasure burning in her heart.
She explained to Fan Yanran that the relationship between her and her cousin was purely that of cousins, and asked her not to misunderstand.
But while she was explaining, she also deliberately said something vague that was even more misleading.
The more she spoke, the more excited she became.
She had come from the capital with her mother to seek refuge with her cousin a few months ago.
Because her mother secretly helped everyone in the Xie family when they were exiled, Xie Xin treated the two of them well.
But she was not satisfied with this.
Although she and Xie Xin are several years apart in age, she actually developed unusual feelings for him when she was very young.
Lu Zhixi had never seen her, but she often watched her silently in secret.
Thinking about her and her cousin's marriage, thinking about her cousin marrying her in the future, thinking about her cousin
The fondness in his eyes when he talked about her made her jealous.
Today, she finally faced herself.
She must be feeling as jealous as she did when she heard about what happened between them!
Wen Jianjia even hoped that Lu Zhixi would lose his mind right now and come over to slap her a few times. Only in this way could she appear more pitiful in front of her cousin.
But Lu Zhixi did not step forward. She just turned her eyes away calmly, as if she didn't hear what she said.
