Chapter 178 You're Rebellious
He Zhiyan smiled and nodded, her smile was like a hibiscus flower slowly blooming: "Well, I suddenly want to share the snacks I made with others, Xiangxiang, can I be friends with you?"
She looked at Lu Xiang cautiously and expectantly, the enthusiasm and sincerity in her eyes were irresistible.
She has been weak since childhood. After her father remarried, her stepmother didn't like her, so she and He Zhimin had an ordinary relationship even though they were sisters. She had no friends because she didn't go out.
This was also the first time that He Zhiyan met Lu Xiang. Perhaps it was the kindness Lu Xiang showed to her that night that made her want to take the initiative to make friends with him.
Lu Xiang was slightly startled, and then ripples appeared in his eyes.
"Thanks to Sister Yan's kindness, I am naturally willing to make friends with you."
He Zhiyan smiled happily when he heard that, feeling a sense of beauty as if the clouds had parted and the sun was shining.
Even though she is a patient herself, she makes people feel the warmth emanating from her.
Lu Xiang picked up the cakes on the table and started eating. The thousand-layer puff pastry melted in his mouth, and the wick cake was soft and sweet, and the taste was surprisingly good.
"Is it tasty?"
He Zhiyan looked at Lu Xiang nervously and asked.
Lu Xiang smiled and said, "Yes, Sister Yan's cooking skills are very good."
As he said this, he picked up another piece.
Seeing that Lu Xiang liked to eat it, He Zhiyan smiled even more happily.
"I collected a lot of plum blossoms a while ago and dried them. Next time I'll make you plum blossom cakes. You can also make tea with them. They taste amazing."
"Will it be too much trouble for you?" Lu Xiang said with a smile.
"I like doing these, it's not troublesome at all." And now she has friends to share with, she is happy to do it.
Ah Man lay at the door and quietly poked his head in.
"Miss, what's that smell? It smells so good."
Lu Xiang glanced at Ah Man with a smile and waved at her.
He took a piece of each dessert, put it on a separate plate and handed it to Ah Man: "Go and try it with Yun Zhe and the others. Liu Liu, I'm going to talk to your young lady, you can come and eat too."
Liu Liu glanced at He Zhiyan, and seeing her nod, she followed A Man.
Wu'an Marquis Mansion
The vermilion lacquered gate and the bluestone steps leading up.
When He Zhiyan returned, he did not enter through the front door, but sneaked in through the back door with Liu Liu.
Liu Liu carefully looked around and waved to He Zhiyan behind him, "Miss, there's no one here."
He Zhiyan hurried in.
I was jogging back to my residence when suddenly a man jumped out from the corner.
"Well, you guys actually sneaked out of the house. Tell me, where did you go?"
He Zhimin put one hand on his waist and pointed at He Zhiyan with the other hand, questioning.
Her skin was extremely white, as white as cream, with a light layer of rouge on it, delicate and beautiful. She wore a skirt embroidered with hundreds of butterflies and a plain velvet jacket with embroidered flowers.
He Zhiyan was frightened and staggered back a few steps. She was about to fall, but Liu Liu supported her in time.
"Fifth sister, what are you doing? You scared me to death."
He Zhimin snorted softly: "You must be guilty of your crime. Mother has told you not to leave the house casually, but you dare to ignore her words. I will tell mother and have her punish you severely."
"I am the eldest daughter of the He family, not a criminal." He Zhiyan gritted her teeth.
Because she was afraid of such trouble, she always took Liuliu out of the house secretly.
"You are just a sickly person. You don't want to stay in the mansion and wait for death, but you go out to make trouble. Even if you don't tell me, I know where you went. Is it the Lu family?"
The entire Wu'an Marquis Mansion is under the management of her mother, so He Zhiyan cannot hide where she goes.
Going to the Lu family, I must be going to find Lu Xiang.
Damn it, when did He Zhiyan know Lu Xiang? He actually went to Lu's house without telling her.
"Fifth sister, I'm tired. I'll go back first." He Zhiyan walked around He Zhimin and left.
He Zhimin stomped his feet in anger and turned to go to the courtyard of the wife of Marquis Wu'an.
Liu Liu looked back at He Zhimin who was leaving, with a worried look on her face: "Miss, what should we do? If Miss Wu goes to make trouble with Madam, you will be the one who suffers."
The fifth young lady, relying on the fact that her mother is the mistress of the house, has always been domineering in the mansion and likes to go against the eldest young lady in everything.
The Marquis and his wife also doted on her.
"Let her be. She'll just be scolded and given some meat." She was frail, so her mother didn't dare to punish her physically.
Liu Liu responded: "But Miss Fifth is so strange, why is she so excited to hear that Miss is going to the Lu family."
He Zhiyan shook his head: "I don't know, never mind, let's go back."
"Mom, mom..." He Zhimin started shouting outside before entering the house.
He Yu was there too, and when he saw his daughter running in quickly, he smiled and said, "What's the hurry?"
He Zhimin bowed and said, "Dad, my elder sister is going too far."
"What's wrong with Yan'er?" He Yu asked.
In my impression, this daughter has always been quiet and rarely goes out. What did she do this time?
"Everyone secretly left the house today and went to the Lu family to look for Miss Lu San. She knows Lu Xiang, but she didn't even come to report this to mother."
The wife of Marquis Wu'an was surprised: "When did you meet?"
He Yu also looked at He Zhimin in surprise.
"I don't know, but my daughter guessed that we met at the banquet held in our house a few days ago."
As long as He Zhiyan leaves the house, she will be the first to know.
I haven't been out in the last few months.
The only possible time to meet Lu Xiang is at my own party.
It was so infuriating. That day, she tried to get close to Lu Xiang, but Lu Xiang was cold in his attitude. But the next moment, he became friends with He Zhiyan.
What does this mean?
Do you look down on her?
He Zhiyan is just a sickly girl, who knows how long she can live. She is also the legitimate daughter of Marquis Wu'an. Now her brother has been found. Everything in Marquis Wu'an's mansion will belong to her brother in the future. In terms of nobility, how can He Zhiyan compare to her?
The more He Zhimin thought about it, the angrier he got, and he exaggerated and scolded He Zhiyan.
"She is just arrogant and only wants to take advantage of others."
He Yu frowned and fell into deep thought.
The third young lady of the Lu family is loved by the Queen Mother, so her status is different and she is worthy of her son.
The wife of Marquis Wu'an slammed the table angrily: "She is rebelling."
If Lu Xiang could get on good terms with the young lady of the Duke of Anguo's Mansion, perhaps her daughter could also show her face in front of the Empress. Which noble lady in the capital doesn't want to be looked at differently by the Empress? Even if they are concubines in the palace, if they can be favored by the Empress, they will be more respectable when they go out in the capital in the future.
"Go and call her to me." Mrs. Wu'an Hou ordered.
The maid beside her should be busy inviting He Zhiyan.
Not long after, He Zhiyan came in.
"I've seen my father, and my mother is fine."
Madam Wu'an looked at her sideways and said, "You have grown strong now. I can't control you. I can't be at peace with you."
He Zhiyan lowered her head and bit her lip secretly.
He Yu rarely saw his daughter. Seeing her pale and pitiful face, he couldn't help but feel distressed. He asked softly, "I heard from your sister that you went to the Lu family today?"
