Chapter 273: Beautiful Face
Don't blame Su Ruojin for thinking of the noble lady opposite as her former Ningning. If you want to blame someone, blame Zhao Lan for his handsome appearance and noble status. As long as he is not married, he is the perfect husband candidate in the dreams of all the young ladies in the capital.
Usually, this little mountain chrysanthemum of hers had always grown in the mountains, and these noble ladies had no chance to see it. But now, this little mountain chrysanthemum of hers stood in front of them, and she had finally got the chance.
What Su Ruojin didn't expect was that the arrogant young lady opposite suddenly smiled and changed from being unattainable to a gentle young lady. "This must be Second Madam Su. She looks gentle and lovely at first glance. She is really pleasing."
Not only were her words pleasant to the ear, but her voice was pleasant too, soft and unhurried, just like the lady from a noble family that Su Ruojin once thought she was, dignified and graceful.
Su Ruojin: ...
Ningning: ...
Everyone: ...
The air suddenly became quiet, and Xie Qingyu smiled gently, "What did I say wrong? Are you all stupid?" She joked lightly, still looking at everyone with a smile.
The young ladies from the noble families who were on good terms with her finally reacted and agreed, "It's just like what Yu Niang said, this Second Lady Su has delicate features and is quite charming."
As long as she doesn't whip me like Ningning, it'll be fine. Su Ruojin, who had delicate features, smiled and bowed slightly, "Thank you very much for the compliment, madam. We will go to the pavilion and won't disturb you all."
Xie Qingyu seemed to have not heard what Su Ruojin said, and smiled and invited, "Let's go to the garden pond to see the lotus flowers. Second Madam, why don't you come with us?"
Gentle attitude and soft voice.
However, Su Ruojin could tell that there was no room for refusal, and the smile froze on her face.
Seems to be in a stalemate.
Xie Qingyu smiled and said, "I heard that the young prince particularly likes lotus flowers. Doesn't the second lady like them?"
Su Ruojin: ...Even if I like it, why do I have to go see it with you?
She looked at everyone, and they all had gossipy expressions on their faces.
Whenever I think of Mr. Xie whipping me like this.
"Uh... I'm in a hurry to change, everyone go ahead."
Xie Qingyu's smile froze at the corner of his mouth.
Young ladies: ...
You can't just say you need to go to the toilet in person like this, it's too... She is indeed the daughter of a minor official, and she has no etiquette or shame at all.
The young ladies who followed Xie Qingyu all had disgust written all over their faces.
Su Ruojin seemed not to notice her disgust. She smiled at everyone again, nodded slightly, and stepped aside to let the people in the Moon Gate go first.
Xie Qingyu stared at her with a complicated expression, then left with the ladies.
Su Ruojin didn't enter the Moon Gate until the group of young ladies left.
Ningning stood still, looking towards the direction Xie Qingyu left, and snorted coldly: "I thought she had changed her sex, but I didn't expect her to be still like this." She pulled her niece and quickly caught up with Su Ruojin.
"Ajin...Ajin...I'll tell you a secret."
As soon as she came up to him with a gossipy look on her face, Su Ruojin guessed what it was, she was not interested at all.
Ning Ning saw that she was not anxious, so she became anxious and quickly gossiped, "In February and March of this year, Duke Xie's Mansion found the old concubine and wanted her to put pressure on Zhao Lan to marry Xie Qingyu. As a result, the young prince ignored it and thought that others didn't know."
Su Ruojin stopped and said with a half-smile on her face, "Ms. Ning, did the Ningguo Mansion also do something like this in February or March?"
Ningning: ...Yes, she also wants to marry Prince Zhao. My grandmother asked several respected old ladies to act as matchmakers, but they all turned down the offer.
Su Ruojin smiled.
Who cares about Zhang San, Li Si, or Wang Ermaizi? As long as Zhao Lan stands firm, she doesn't care about the nobles who come to rob her. If Zhao Lan doesn't want to belong to her, she won't be able to keep him no matter how hard she tries; but if she is wholeheartedly seeking to marry him, he will give her the greatest sense of security.
Su Ruojin and Ningning sat in the small pavilion. It was very hot in June. It was quite comfortable to sit in the pavilion with water outside and breeze blowing inside. However, Zhong Wanhui kept sticking to her, so she didn't feel so good.
