Chapter 189 Maybe He Will Do It
Suddenly, someone blocked Lu Xiang's way.
"Miss Lu San, we meet again."
Lu Xiang looked at Xiao Muheng, whose thin lips were slightly raised, and felt disgusted. His pair of eyes, as beautiful as obsidian, instantly became gloomy, carrying countless hatred.
Her expression of hatred was so obvious that Xiao Muheng was startled.
There was that cold look of hatred and disgust again. Xiao Muheng couldn't understand why Lu Xiang hated him so much?
But every time I see her, I can't help but want to get closer to her.
"I don't really want to meet Mr. Xiao." Lu Xiang said without hesitation.
The indifferent tone seemed to come from the abyss, full of rejection and disgust.
Xiao Muheng's smiling face suddenly cracked and turned into ashes in the wind.
Lu Xiang didn't say anything more to Xiao Muheng, and walked past him into the pavilion, with Qiao Jingru following closely.
"Strange, why did Xiao Muheng come to Old Madam Su's birthday party?" Qiao Jingru asked.
Lu Xiang: "He is one of the students participating in the autumn examination this year. In addition, he is quite wealthy in business, so many people want to win him over."
Xiao Muheng was not so easily defeated. Even though she had helped him in his previous life, he was a scheming person.
Qiao Jingru nodded in understanding, and then asked, "So my second brother is also very talented in writing, and my family is also wealthy, so why haven't I seen any high-ranking officials come to win over my second brother?"
Lu Xiang looked at Qiao Jingru with a smile on his face: "Sister-in-law, Second Brother Qiao is so focused on studying that he probably doesn't have that much time to think about these things."
"That's true. Big brother is in charge of managing the personal connections. However, as long as they find out about the relationship between the Qiao family and the Lu family, no one should come to poach people from the Lu family."
The two of them chatted and laughed as they reached the pavilion.
Lu Xiang met an acquaintance.
"Xiangxiang!" He Zhiyan stood up and called out with a smile.
Lu Xiang was delighted, and was particularly cordial when he saw a familiar person in an unfamiliar environment: "Sister Yan, you are here too."
As she spoke, she pulled Qiao Jingru towards He Zhiyan and introduced them to the two of them: "This is my sister-in-law, Qiao Jingru."
"Sister-in-law, this is the eldest daughter of the Wu'an Marquis Mansion, He Zhiyan."
The two men greeted each other.
He Zhiyan smiled and said, "Mrs. Lu is well."
"Congratulations, Miss." Qiao Jingru said.
He Zhiyan smiled and said, "Sit down and talk." Then she looked at Lu Xiang with an apologetic look on her face: "Xiangxiang, if He Zhimin comes to bother us later, please forgive me."
Lu Xiang asked: "Did she know that you and I know each other, so she asked you to do something?"
"You guessed it already?" He Zhiyan looked at Lu Xiang in surprise.
Lu Xiang chuckled and said, "Last time at your family's banquet, she asked me if I was familiar with Song Zhenzhen. Maybe she thought I was close to the Queen, so she was also familiar with Song Zhenzhen."
"To be honest, I rarely attend banquets in other places due to my poor health, especially in the past few years, I have stayed at home. This is the first time my mother has asked me to come. He Zhimin wants to get close to Song Zhenzhen, so she wants me to persuade you to introduce He Zhimin to Song Zhenzhen because of my acquaintance with you."
"I wanted to refuse, but I was worried that He Zhimin's reckless words might cause you to misunderstand."
Lu Xiang: "He Zhimin went to make friends with Song Zhenzhen through me because she didn't have the chance to do so normally. Song Zhenzhen is also here at Madam Su's birthday banquet today. She can just go and talk to Song Zhenzhen directly."
"She was afraid that there would be too many people at an occasion like today and she wouldn't be able to talk to Song Zhenzhen, so she made two preparations."
Lu Xiang chuckled and said, "Song Zhenzhen is very smooth. He Shizi has been found, and Wu'an Hou has a successor. The second branch of the He family is now affected by ominous rumors. He Zhimin has also turned things around. She wants to please Song Zhenzhen, and Song Zhenzhen will not refuse."
Who would complain about not having enough followers?
Song Zhenzhen is such an arrogant person. The more people praise her, the more superior she feels.
In particular, her identity as the adopted daughter of the Song family has always been something she has been concerned about, as if she could only find her sense of existence through the flattery of others.
As he was speaking, a sweet voice suddenly came from far away.
"Miss Lu, I haven't seen you for a few months. I hope you are doing well."
Lu Xiang turned his head and saw Liu Anyao walking towards the pavilion.
She was wearing a slim-fitting, narrow-sleeved Shuiyan Yuehua dress, looking noble and elegant, with a high forehead and delicate facial features.
"Miss Liu." Lu Xiang stood up and called out politely but distantly.
Liu Anyao walked towards Lu Xiang step by step, with a haughty look and a cold smile: "Aren't you the Queen's guest of honor? Why doesn't Song Zhenzhen stay around you?"
"Miss Liu, you are too polite. I don't dare to be the guest of honor of the Empress. After all, Miss Liu is the niece of the Empress Shufei. I am also unworthy and cannot let Miss Song revolve around me."
"Tsk, you are quite self-aware." Liu Anyao sneered: "Look, without the Queen to protect you today, if you get into trouble, will there be anyone to clean up the mess?"
Lu Xiang raised her eyelids calmly: "I dare not cause trouble at Madam Su's birthday banquet, but if someone is blind and wants to plot against me, I will fight back even if I cause trouble, don't you think so, Miss Liu?"
"A sharp tongue."
"I am not as eloquent as Miss Liu. I hope Miss Liu can distinguish right from wrong today and not listen to the slander of villains."
Liu Anyao raised her eyebrows and said aggressively, "Humph, Lu Xiang, just wait and see. Sooner or later, I will make you kneel before me and cry for mercy."
Lu Xiang's eyes flashed coldly, and he said with a fake smile: "I hope Miss Liu won't end up crying on her knees."
"A villain is succeeding." Liu Anyao cursed angrily, wishing she could tear Lu Xiang's beautiful face apart.
At this time, a young girl came hurriedly and pulled Liu Anyao away.
Lu Xiang looked at Liu Anyao's back, his eyes darkened slightly.
Qiao Jingru and He Zhiyan were so shocked that they couldn't recover for a long time.
After a long while, Qiao Jingru covered her chest with her hands and asked with an unpleasant expression: "Xiangxiang, who is this person? Why is he so arrogant?"
He Zhiyan said, "She is Prime Minister Liu's legitimate daughter. Her aunt is Consort Shu, a famous noble lady." Then she looked at Lu Xiang and asked, "Have you made an enemy of her?"
Qiao Jingru immediately revealed a look of understanding: "Is she the young lady from the Liu family who helped Lu Mingzhu frame you in the palace?"
Lu Xiang smiled helplessly: "Well, I feel like I won't be able to eat peacefully at today's banquet."
He Zhiyan: "Now that you mention it, I have a doubt in my heart. I have been taking medicine for many years, so I know a little about pharmacology. Although she is close to you, I can vaguely smell the fragrance of Datura flowers. Although I haven't come into contact with these noble ladies in the capital for many years, Liu Anyao has been domineering and vindictive since she was a child. Maybe she will really attack you."
