Chapter 368: Generosity? What is generosity? This lady is very stingy!
The smile on Nalan Mei's face froze instantly and disappeared without a trace. She forced a smile and said, "Since that's the case, I won't force you any more. But... I hope Miss Lan won't blame me for being so abrupt."
Lan Xiyue nodded slightly, made a gesture to see the guest off, and said in a cold and distant voice: "Princess, take care. Chuxia, I will see you off."
Seeing this, Nalan Mei's face became even uglier. She never expected that she would be treated so coldly after taking the initiative to show her goodwill. The dissatisfaction in her heart was like ignited gunpowder, which exploded in an instant, but she still suppressed her anger, barely maintained her outward demeanor, and turned away.
Chuchun looked at Nalan Mei's receding figure and whispered to Lan Xiyue, "Miss, Princess Nalan seems really angry."
Lan Xiyue smiled calmly, her eyes revealing a hint of indifference: "There's no friendship between her and me. What does it have to do with me whether she's angry or not?"
Chuchun smiled and said, "Miss, you are right. Princess Nalan came here this time probably to establish a good relationship with you. It's hard for Princess Nalan to lower herself and come here so early in the morning and wait for so long. Miss, there is also this gift."
Chuchun pointed to the gift box on the tea table beside her.
When Lan Xiyue thought of Princess Wenshu, a sneer appeared on her lips.
"Okay, I'll give this gift to you and Chuxia." She waved her sleeves lightly, with a hint of disdain in her tone.
Upon hearing this, Chuchun picked up the exquisite box, a hint of surprise flashing in her eyes, "Thank you for the reward, Miss!"
Lan Xiyue stood up and walked out, and bumped into Lu Jingzhou and his brother Lan Shenye.
Lu Jingzhou was very elegant and nodded slightly to her, "Miss Lan."
Lan Xiyue nodded gently in response, "Brother, it's noon, are you guys going out?"
There was an imperceptible sadness in Lan Shenye's eyes, but he tried hard to force a smile.
"Yueyue, Brother Lu and I are going out for dinner, you..."
Before he could finish his words, Lan Xiyue interrupted him: "Brother, you guys go ahead. Chuchun has already prepared the meal. I'm going back to eat."
Lan Shenye nodded, "Okay, stay home and don't run around. I'll bring you something delicious when I come back."
Lan Xiyue chuckled, "Brother, I'm not a child."
After the two left, Lan Xiyue looked at their backs as they walked away, her brows furrowed.
Her brother was still sad about what happened between Yun Lei and Xiao Muzi. The way he forced a smile just now made her feel even more distressed. It would be good for him to go out and relax.
Back in the attic, Hatsuharu came in with food and placed it on the table.
"Miss, please have your meal."
Lan Xiyue withdrew her thoughts, slowly walked to the table and sat down.
At this time, Chu Xia came back and said, "Miss, Miss Qian is here."
Qian Duoduo laughed: "Haha, I'm here just in time. Chuchun, go and get another set of bowls and chopsticks."
Lan Xiyue looked up at Qian Duoduo, a faint smile on her lips: "You really don't consider yourself an outsider. You even ordered my girl around."
Qian Duoduo snorted, her face filled with joy: "We will be a family soon anyway, so why be so formal." After saying that, she naturally sat down opposite Lan Xiyue.
Upon hearing this, Chuchun smiled and turned around to get the dishes.
"Oh... your relationship with my brother has developed so rapidly?" Lan Xiyue raised her eyebrows, with a hint of teasing and curiosity in her tone.
Qian Duoduo blushed slightly when she heard this, and lowered her head a little embarrassedly: "Well, last time when Brother Lan sent me back from the lake cruise, he said that he would come to your house to propose marriage after the imperial examination is over next year..."
Lan Xiyue chuckled: "Not bad, things are developing quite fast. By the way, you just arrived, and you haven't met my brother yet?"
"Huh?" Qian Duoduo looked up in surprise, his eyes full of confusion. "Has Brother Lan gone out? I didn't see him when I came here. Where did he go?"
Lan Xiyue sighed softly, a gloomy look flashing in her eyes: "My brother is in a bad mood. He just went out with Lu Jingzhou, probably for a drink."
Qian Duoduo frowned upon hearing this: "What's going on? Why is Brother Lan in a bad mood?"
Lan Xiyue said in a low voice: "Yun Lei and Xiao Muzi, who had always served my brother, are both dead."
"What?" Qian Duoduo exclaimed, his face full of disbelief. "What's going on? Them? That Brother Lan must be so sad."
Lan Xiyue looked at Qian Duoduo with deep eyes: "Yes, even though my brother doesn't say it on the surface, he must be very sad in his heart, so, you should comfort him more."
Upon hearing this, Qian Duoduo stood up suddenly and said, "Yueyue, I won't have dinner with you. I'm going to find Brother Lan." After she finished speaking, she ran out in a hurry.
Xiaohong bowed to Lan Xiyue, shook her head helplessly, and hurriedly chased after her, "Miss, go slower, be careful not to fall."
Chuchun walked in with dishes and chopsticks in hand. She glanced around but didn't see Qian Duoduo. She couldn't help but exclaim, "Huh? Where's Miss Qian?"
Chu Xia smiled and said, "Miss Qian went to see the eldest young master."
"ah?"
Lan Xiyue held the bowl and chopsticks and began to eat slowly.
"Miss Qian is lively and lovely. With her around, maybe the young master will be in a better mood." Chuchun sighed softly.
"I hope so!"
After finishing lunch, Lan Xiyue wiped the corner of her mouth casually and returned to her room. She leaned lazily on the rattan chair, flipping through a storybook in her hand to pass the time.
Chu Xia walked in and reported in a low voice: "Miss, Miss Yun is here."
Lan Xiyue frowned when she heard this, "Why is she here?"
Yun Yiyi was dressed in gorgeous clothes, but her face was filled with embarrassment and uneasiness. She walked in and said, "Cousin, I'm sorry. It was always my fault before."
Lan Xiyue lowered her head and continued to flip through the book in her hand. "And then?"
Yun Yiyi curled her lips and said, "Cousin, can you forgive me?"
"not good!"
Seeing this, Yun Yiyi's eyes flashed with anxiety: "Cousin, please forgive me. I came here specially to apologize to you. I also prepared a gift for you." As she said that, she pointed behind her and saw the maid struggling to hold a pile of gifts.
Lan Xiyue put down the script in her hand, a faint smile on her lips, "Today is really strange. You all come to apologize to me. Did you make an appointment?"
Yun Yiyi asked doubtfully, "Cousin, I didn't make an appointment with anyone."
"Don't call me cousin. I'm still used to you calling me by my name, Yun Yiyi. If I didn't have some skills, I would have died last time. What's the point of apologizing?"
Yun Yiyi was stunned. She stamped her feet and said anxiously, "Aren't you okay? Can't you be more generous? I've already apologized, what else do you want? Besides, I was also deceived by Bai Lianyan last time."
Lan Xiyue's eyes were filled with indifference: "Generous? What do you mean by magnanimous? I'm very stingy! Yun Yiyi, you're stupid for being deceived. Go away. As for your apology and gifts, I don't care."
After saying that, Lan Xiyue waved her hand gently, signaling Chuxia to see the guest off.
Seeing this, Yun Yiyi's face turned pale and blue.
Chu Xia stepped forward and extended her hand, "Miss Yun, please!"
