Lu Zifeng rode Shadow on the way home, thinking about what happened today.
It seems that the person who spoke to me in the morning should be the princess's close servant. It is understandable that as a royal princess, she would naturally not talk directly to a commoner like me. When they encountered the assassination, they must have been more careful, for fear of revealing their whereabouts and attracting assassins again.
Lu Zifeng really had no idea about the princess's statement that she would come to express her gratitude. These nobles were just talking nicely, and he didn't expect to get anything in return for saving the so-called prince and princess.
When Lu Zifeng returned home, he forgot to tell his family about this and went straight to bed.
Two days later, when Princess Jing arrived, Tan Yunniang was also quite surprised. When had her family ever been able to have Princess Jing come to visit? However, after two days of guidance and advice from the two maids Huang Chen, Tan Yunniang had gained some experience. She hurriedly arranged for people to prepare things, and she personally went to the gate to greet Princess Jing.
When we arrived at the gate, we saw a carriage parked outside. The carriage looked ordinary and from the outside, it was no different from any other carriage.
Tan Yunniang knew that Princess Jing was being low-key, so she quickly stood up and walked to the carriage without bowing, but spoke softly.
"Greetings, Princess. I'm honored to be here. It's not appropriate to get off the carriage here. Please wait a moment until the carriage enters the house before getting off."
Princess Jing was also very curious. She had done some research before coming to the Lu family to express her gratitude. She knew that the family were all common people, but now it seemed that the family was quite knowledgeable.
"Well, thank you, Mrs. Lu."
Then the carriage, led by Tan Yunniang, entered the house and stopped at the second gate.
Princess Jing got off the carriage with the help of her nanny and looked at Tan Yunniang standing beside her. Only then did she realize that Tan Yunniang was not at all a farmer who had never seen the world, but rather looked like someone from an official family.
"I greet Princess Jing. I apologize for not welcoming you in person. I hope you will forgive me."
Princess Jing was thinking about something, but she didn't expect that Tan Yunniang would kneel down to pay her respects, so she hurriedly supported Tan Yunniang with her own hands.
"Oh, Mrs. Lu, you're so polite. After all, your family is our savior. Aren't you embarrassing me?"
Tan Yunniang knew that her son had saved Situ Hao, but how could the Princess of Jing say that she had saved their entire family?
Although Tan Yunniang had doubts in her heart, she knew that this was not the time to ask about it, so she quickly invited Princess Jing into the main hall and served her tea.
Princess Jing sat at the top seat, and Tan Yunniang sat at the bottom seat with her.
There was nothing that could be done about it. Although she was the head of the family, the highest ranking person here was still Princess Jing. She was a princess of the royal family, and not only was her rank high, her status was also well-deserved. She watched Chunlan serve tea and retreat.
"Princess, please have some tea. My home is not like the prefect's, so I'll give you some simple tea. I hope you won't mind."
The more Princess Jing looked at Tan Yunniang, the more she liked her. She really didn't expect that this peasant woman would be so well-mannered and know how to entertain guests.
"Haha, Madam Lu, the old lady is at home. As a junior, I have to pay my respects to her."
Tan Yunniang said embarrassedly, "Please forgive me, Princess. My mother-in-law went to the countryside early this morning. Princess, you should know that we come from a farming family. The old lady likes farm life the most. When she comes to live in the city, she will go to the countryside for a few days."
Princess Jing understood what he said and nodded.
"I came here today to express my gratitude to Madam Lu. My son was saved from danger some time ago thanks to the Lu family's protection. The day before yesterday, when the prince and I were coming to Luzhou Prefecture, we were assassinated and it was your eldest son who saved us. Otherwise, our family would have been cut short."
Tan Yunniang was also stunned when she heard this. She knew that her family had saved Prince Situ Hao, but now she heard that her son had actually saved Prince Jing and Princess Jing.
Seeing Tan Yunniang's expression of "I see," Princess Jing laughed, "It seems that what the young man said was true! She really didn't take my visit to thank her today seriously!"
"You are too kind, Princess. This is what he should have done. How could he not help someone when he encountered such a situation?"
Lu Zifeng was reading in his yard. These were books his father had bought yesterday. He said they were gifts for him so that he could read more when he had nothing to do.
I have nothing to do today, so I might as well read a book.
Lu Si came in and said.
"Master, Miss Xia He from the Madam's courtyard just said that Madam asked you to come over. It seems that Princess Jing has arrived."
"Hmm? You mean Princess Jing is here?"
Seeing Lu Si nod, Lu Zifeng remembered that Princess Jing said she would come to express her gratitude two days ago. Unexpectedly, she actually came. He put down the book in his hand and stood up.
"Let's go and pay our respects to Princess Jing."
When Lu Zifeng arrived, he happened to see Lu Ziyan and Lu Zimo also arrived.
The three brothers looked at each other without saying anything else and then went into the main hall after reporting.
"Meet Princess Jing."
Princess Jing was immediately delighted when she saw the three young men of the Lu family. She had only given birth to Situ Hao in her life. She had injured herself at that time and could not have another one. Now, looking at the three sons of the Lu family, she could not help but feel a little envious of Tan Yunniang.
"Mrs. Lu is very blessed. She has three sons and one daughter. Her life is complete."
Tan Yunniang smiled and shook her head.
"Princess, you don't know, these three sons are also a headache! They have only gotten better in the past two years, but a few years ago, they were a headache!"
After Princess Jing presented the three brothers with greeting gifts, the three brothers withdrew. Since the conversation was being conducted by the women, it was indeed inappropriate for a few young men to be here.
As soon as I returned to my yard, I saw Situ Hao sitting in his yard drinking tea.
"Hey, Prince, when did you arrive? Why didn't you ask anyone to call me?"
"Why are you shouting? I can guess that you will be back soon."
"My Lord, the princess is coming today, why didn't you give me a heads up?"
Situ Hao looked at Lu Zifeng innocently.
"Do I even need to say hello? The day before yesterday, my mother said she would come to your house to express her gratitude in the next two days."
Lu Zifeng was speechless for a moment. "Nimma, there's nothing wrong with what you said. It's just that I think too much, okay?" Seeing Lu Zifeng's aggrieved look, Situ Hao laughed heartily.
"Brother Feng, my father's injuries have improved over the past two days. Are you really not going to follow us to the capital?"
Lu Zifeng didn't say anything. This topic had been brought up countless times. Why was this guy still talking about it?
Seeing his expression, Situ Hao knew that this guy was not planning to go to Beijing now, so he didn't say anything more.
