Chapter 128 Go ahead, girl
"Sister Qingya, you don't have to doubt my words. After all, it will be good for me if you become my father's aunt." Lu Xiang smiled slightly.
So don't hesitate, go for it, girl.
Zhao Qingya hesitated for a while and said, "Miss Third, please allow me to think about it."
"Okay." Lu Xiang said, "I'll wait for your answer."
Zhao Qingya nodded and left.
After she left, Qiao Jingru and Mother Ding came out from the inner room, and Lu Xiang poured Qiao Jingru a cup of tea.
"What do you think is the possibility that Zhao Qingya will agree?"
Lu Xiang said: "Ninety percent."
Qiao Jingru looked at her in surprise: "Are you so sure that she is willing to be Dad's concubine? What's the reason for the remaining 10%?"
"The other tenth point is her sincerity towards Big Brother."
Qiao Jingru was at a loss whether to laugh or cry: "Xiangxiang, I can't stand being scared right now." If Zhao Qingya really had deep feelings for Lu Chao, could she stop her?
"Don't panic, sister-in-law. Since she hasn't nodded, I can't say anything for sure. But since Zhao Qingya said she would consider it, this matter is 90 percent certain." Lu Xiang said.
Qiao Jingru nodded: "Well, no matter what the result is, thank you for considering me so much."
"It's a bit strange for sister-in-law to say that."
…
Zhao Qingya came to see Lu Xiang the next day, faster than Lu Xiang expected.
"Sister Qingya, have you made up your mind?"
"I have made up my mind." Looking at Lu Xiang with bright eyes and white teeth in front of her, Zhao Qingya's face was a little unnatural: "I want to live a rich and prosperous life, and I don't want to be an enemy of the third lady."
This means giving up Lu Chao and becoming Lu Youping's concubine.
Lu Xiang raised the corners of his lips and revealed a faint smile: "I don't want to be an enemy of Sister Qingya and embarrass Mother Wen. Then it will be Grandmother who will be hurt."
“Please take good care of me from the Third Miss and the Eldest Madam in the future.” Zhao Qingya smiled gently when she saw that there was no mockery in Lu Xiang’s eyes.
"You are too polite, sister. When you become father's aunt, you will be half our elder."
"What should I do next?" Zhao Qingya asked.
Lu Xiang walked up to her and whispered something in her ear.
The evening glow was gorgeous and magnificent. Lu Xiang dragged Qiao Jingru to Fuyuantang for dinner and asked Mother Wen to cook a few more of her signature dishes.
The old lady poked Lu Xiang's forehead and said with a smile: "You come to eat for free and yet you have so many requests."
Lu Xiang took the old lady's arm, rubbed her shoulders, and said coquettishly: "Grandma, I will be sad if you dislike me so much."
"Come, come, let grandma see how sad you are." The old lady held Lu Xiang's face and kneaded her like dough: "Well, you are so sad that you are deformed. It seems that I need to feed you more delicious food later."
"Mother Wen, didn't you make pork elbows in sauce yesterday? It's just right to roast them today." Lu Xiang stretched her neck and let the old lady rub and knead her face, making it round, which made the old lady laugh.
"I came here by smell. You are born in the year of the dog, right?"
Mother Wen heard Lu Xiang's words outside the room and came in when she had time: "In addition to the braised pork elbow, I also made steamed duck and abalone. Miss San will eat as much as she wants later."
"Well, eat. Grandma will feed you until you are plump and white." The old lady said happily while hugging Lu Xiang.
Lu Xiang subconsciously pinched the fat on his waist and sighed softly.
Ever since her father hired a new chef to cook Sichuan cuisine, she has been eating without restraint and seems to have gained a lot of weight.
Do I need to avoid certain foods and eat less?
He thought so, but when he saw the table full of delicious food, Lu Xiang had already forgotten about the dietary restrictions.
"Grandma, you eat too." Lu Xiang ate happily and picked up some food for the old lady.
The old lady's eyes were full of doting, and she also greeted Qiao Jingru: "Jingru, you should eat more too. You must have worked hard taking over the affairs of the mansion."
Qiao Jingru smiled with emotion and said, "With the trust of my grandmother and father, it's not hard."
Even if the people below her have some ulterior motives, she can solve them.
"This soup tastes great. Why haven't I had it before?" Lu Xiang suddenly said.
The old lady smiled and said, "This lotus root soup is made by Qingya."
"Grandma, has Dad had dinner yet? Ask Sister Qingya to scoop a bowl of soup and send it to Dad." Lu Xiang put down the soup bowl and said to the old lady.
The old lady was startled for a moment, then showed a look of relief. A loving father and a filial daughter was what she was most happy to see.
So he didn't even ask the servant Lu Youping whether he had eaten dinner, and hurriedly called Zhao Qingya over.
"Miss San likes this soup very much. Serve a bowl of it and bring it to the front yard for the master."
Zhao Qingya suppressed her pounding heart and replied calmly, "Yes, I'll go right away."
As she spoke, she did not dare to look at Lu Xiang any longer, for fear that her nervousness would make people notice something strange, so she took the lotus root soup and went to the front yard.
After dinner, the two left Fuyuan Hall.
On a late autumn night, even the breath you exhale is filled with white mist.
Qiao Jingru gathered her cloak and walked side by side with Lu Xiang: "Can Zhao Qingya succeed?"
"It's okay. If it doesn't work this time, there's always next time. Besides, my father is not Liu Xiahui." Lu Xiang was not in a hurry at all.
Now they are in the light while their father is in the dark. Zhao Qingya is acting unintentionally, but in order to avoid any further trouble, she is definitely more anxious than them.
"Yeah." Qiao Jingru nodded absentmindedly.
Lu Xiang rubbed his cold fingers and said to Qiao Jingru, "Sister-in-law, the Queen gave me a lot of small hand warmers. They are exquisite and beautiful. Come and pick a few tomorrow."
Qiao Jingru shook her hands in fear: "That was given to you by the Queen, how could I accept it."
And let her pick a few?
She was shivering a little.
"It's okay. The Queen is kind and won't care who I give it to. Besides, I'm not giving it to anyone else." Good things should be shared with those close to you.
Lu Xiang's eyes were so cute when she smiled, and Qiao Jingru felt warm in her heart: "Well, then I'll pick one."
"Okay." She will send two to her grandmother tomorrow.
The next morning, Lu Xiang hurried to Fuyuan Hall. Seeing her solemn expression, Mother Wen couldn't help but wonder, "Why did the Third Miss come so early?"
The old lady doted on the third young lady, so she never forced her to get up early to pay her respects.
"Mother Wen, has grandma woken up yet?" Lu Xiang asked.
As she spoke, a chill ran through her mouth, causing her to sneeze.
Mother Wen felt distressed and hurriedly pulled her into the house: "The old lady always sleeps lightly, she has already woken up. I was just about to get hot water for her to wash up. Miss Third came here so early. Did something happen?"
"Something happened to Sister Qingya."
Mother Wen was startled and didn't even bother to get some hot water: "What happened to Qingya?"
"Don't worry, Mommy Wen. She's fine. Let's go find grandma first. Don't let anyone else get close to the house for now."
Mother Wen nodded blankly, gave a few instructions to the maids in the yard before entering the house, and then closed the door.
The old lady was quite surprised to see Lu Xiang so early in the morning: "Why are you up so early?"
