Chapter 447 She's a Cheap One
Huo Yi, who was left in the cold wind: "..."
Why do we have to distinguish between people when we treat someone to a meal?
This is too much.
Just buy it yourself. You are bullying him because he can't afford Wufangzhai or mutton.
Huo Yi clenched his fists angrily. Suddenly, a cold wind blew past, making him shiver all over. Huo Yi rubbed his cold hands and strode back to his room.
Let's ask someone to buy him some food.
In the warm house, Chu Jinyan was making tea seriously, and Lu Xiang was sitting quietly opposite him, feeling a sense of peace and tranquility.
It was less than a month before the Chinese New Year, and the streets and alleys of the capital were more lively than usual. The restaurants and teahouses were also crowded. Chu Jinyan wanted to see Lu Xiang, but thought those places were too noisy, so he invited him to the backyard of Dufang.
After brewing the tea, Chu Jinyan personally poured a cup for Lu Xiang and handed it to her.
Lu Xiang took it with a smile and took a sip.
This is the second year since her rebirth. She thought that she would live a lonely life with a heart full of hatred, but unexpectedly, she got more than in her previous life.
Chu Jinyan is undoubtedly the best gift God has given her.
"What are you thinking about?" Chu Jinyan looked up and saw Lu Xiang holding a teacup, looking at him and smiling.
The light enveloped her light blue dress, her black hair was like clouds, her eyes were like stars, and she was as tall and graceful as a green lotus by the blue lake. She had a smile on her face, and her expression was exceptionally gentle and peaceful.
Being looked at like this by his beloved girl, Chu Jinyan felt indescribably satisfied, and his heart suddenly softened.
Lu Xiang gently shook his head, put down the teacup and smiled, "A few days ago at the Third Prince's wedding banquet, the Ninth Princess fell into the water and was saved by Ji Chong. Was it you who did it?"
Chu Jinyan raised her eyebrows slightly and nodded, "Chu Shian wants Shen Chi to marry Chu Pan'er so that he can get the support of the Shen family. Naturally, I can't let him do what he wants. Chu Pan'er schemed against you everywhere, so she has to taste the feeling of being schemed against. It's just a bargain for her to change her husband."
Lu Xiangwaner chuckled.
"How did Your Highness come up with the idea of asking Ji Chong to rescue the Ninth Princess?"
She knew Pingliang Hou better and had dealt with the second branch of the Ji family, but the third branch of the Ji family had always been unknown in her previous life, and she had never heard any rumors about Ji Chong.
Chu Jinyan said, "The Pingliang Marquis's Mansion is Chu Shian's biggest help, but the Ji family is more than just the Pingliang Marquis. Pingliang Marquis and Ji Benqing are brothers, and it's not easy to sow discord at the moment, but the Ji family has many brainless people, the second wife of Ji, Wei, is one, and the third branch of the Ji family is also one. Even if the family is divided, the illegitimate third master Ji is clearly a member of the Ji family. The third branch married the princess, so they will inevitably make trouble in the future. All of these can be blamed on Pingliang Marquis."
"Ji Chong is idle and loves gambling. This kind of person is the easiest to control. He owes a huge debt to the gambling house, so Zong Li negotiated a deal with him. When Chu Pan'er fell into the water, he immediately jumped in to save her. In this way, he could avoid the gambling debt and marry the princess. It was simply a pie in the sky."
"As for whether it was Chu Pan'er who wanted to kill Ji Chong out of resentment after the marriage, or whether Ji Chong used Chu Pan'er's status to bully others, it's hard to say."
Chu Pan'er was forced into such a marriage, and the resentment in her heart had already piled up like a mountain. It can be seen how lively the days after their marriage were.
Lu Xiang laughed out loud in a very unkind way.
Chu Pan'er was narrow-minded and always wanted to kill her. Lu Xiang could not sympathize with her at all.
"The Third Prince's wedding day was so grand, but you made him suffer like this. I don't know how upset he is."
"How can I feel aggrieved that I can't marry Chen Rujin?" Chu Jinyan said, unable to help but feeling sour again.
Chu Qingyun married Chen Rujin as he wished, but he could only watch helplessly.
What about waiting until the situation stabilizes and he sits on the throne of the crown prince before marrying her? Bah, he must have been out of his mind at the time. After the New Year, he told his father that he had to bring her back to his nest first.
Lu Xiang didn't know Chu Jinyan's inner thoughts, so he said, "No matter what, Pingliang Hou Yanxianpin must now regard the third prince as a thorn in his side. You are close to the third prince, so I'm afraid he will also bear a grudge against you. Be careful recently."
Chu Jinyan didn't agree with it, but he appreciated Lu Xiang's concern.
Suddenly, the evil spirit laughed and said, "You see, I am always in the deep whirlpool, full of dangers. I don't know what will happen tomorrow. If I fall into the trap of a villain one day, I will die with a great regret in my heart."
Lu Xiang listened to Chu Jinyan's increasingly outrageous words, and the corner of his mouth twitched fiercely: "What does Your Highness want to say?"
"I think we should get married sooner rather than later, so that you can always care about me and I can protect you better."
Lu Xiang: “…”
How did the topic get turned here?
“Your Highness…” Lu Xiang gave Chu Jinyan a glare, not knowing whether to laugh or cry.
Chu Jinyan's eyes became more and more resentful, a silent accusation.
"The Third Prince married Concubine Chen, and I'm afraid he has some resentment in his heart. The two may not get along harmoniously. I can only choose one of them to deal with. What do you think, Your Highness?" Lu Xiang asked.
The Third Imperial Concubine was not a magnanimous person, otherwise she would not have taken the opportunity of the banquet to call Chen Ruijin aside and threaten and ridicule her.
But Chen Rujin is not the kind of person who would just accept things as they come.
These two were destined not to live in peace.
Previously, because the Third Prince and Chu Jinyan were in the same camp, she wanted to make friends with the Third Princess.
But Chen Ruijin took the initiative to make friends with her, and had a cheerful and generous personality. She was invited by her to attend her wedding banquet, so she was afraid that she had already been classified as a party by the three imperial concubines. However, she did not know Chu Jinyan's plan.
"It's up to you." Chu Jinyan said, "If you don't like any of them, then don't bother dealing with them."
Lu Xiang smiled slightly: "Okay."
She was not afraid of offending the three imperial concubines, but was only worried that if she made a bad choice, it would ruin Chu Jinyan's alliance.
…
A horse-drawn carriage passed slowly on the busy street.
In the car, Lu Qiao rubbed her handkerchief nervously, raised her tender little face, looked at Qiao Jingru who was sitting opposite her, and said, "Sister-in-law, Miss Chen invites you for tea, is it not okay for me to go?"
Mainly, she was terrified.
Although she had never met Miss Shen, she knew that Miss Shen and Miss Anguo were close friends. Miss Anguo didn't like her third sister, so Miss Shen naturally never had a good face towards her third sister. She was afraid that if she went there, she would be an eyesore to Miss Shen.
By the way, why did Miss Shen invite the sister-in-law to have tea?
Qiao Jingru looked at Lu Qiao and said seriously, "You are not young anymore. You should make more friends with young ladies from aristocratic families. It will be beneficial to you in the future."
Lu Qiao curled her lips and said, "Sister-in-law, I'm only twelve."
Qiao Jingru choked: "I'll be thirteen soon."
Could she say that she was nervous facing Shen Pin, so she wanted to pull Lu Qiao to give her courage?
Who told Xiangxiang not to be at home?
