Chapter 452: Learned a lesson
"Then go to Ming Kee, their food tastes the best." Qiao Jingru said.
"Miss Chen is very warm and friendly, and Miss Wu is also quite polite, but the daughter of the Duke of Anguo always has a cold face and puts on airs, as if she doesn't want to deal with us." Lu Qiao thought of Song Zhenzhen's arrogance, and immediately puffed up her cheeks and became as angry as a hedgehog.
"She is the daughter of the Duke's Mansion. She has a noble status and is naturally arrogant." Qiao Jingru said.
Not to mention that Lu Qiao looks down on it, she doesn't want to look at it either.
It's really funny. They clearly invited her, so if Song Zhenzhen didn't want to come, she shouldn't have come.
Lu Qiao snorted softly: "She was lucky to be adopted by Duke Anguo, but the Queen's favorite is the third sister, which means that the third sister is the most likable."
"Okay, don't be angry. You won't be able to eat if you get too angry. We don't even bother to make friends with Song Zhenzhen." Qiao Jingru said with a smile.
After eating the mutton noodle soup, the two returned home and ran into Lu Xiang who had just returned home at the gate.
Lu Xiang was standing on the steps. Hearing the sound of a carriage behind him, he turned around to look at Qiao Jingru and Lu Qiao getting off the carriage and said in surprise, "Hey, did the eldest sister-in-law and the sixth sister go out to play too?"
Lu Qiao jumped in front of Lu Xiang and rolled her eyes speechlessly: "Miss Shen invited my sister-in-law to the teahouse for tea and lunch together."
Lu Xiang stared at Qiao Jingru blankly: "Chen Pin?"
"Not only that, Song Zhenzhen and Wu Wei are also traveling with us." Qiao Jingru said, walking to Lu Xiang's side and entering the mansion with her: "What are you talking about? I went to look for you and found out that you had left the mansion. Where did you go?"
Lu Xiang blinked: "It's a place to attract money."
Upon hearing this, Qiao Jingru nodded in understanding and did not ask any further questions.
She knew that Zhaocai Gambling House was Lu Xiang's property, so it was not strange for her to go there.
"But it's a pity that you didn't go today, Third Sister. You didn't see such a good show..."
So, under Lu Xiang's puzzled gaze, Lu Qiao recounted the embarrassing things that happened to He Zhimiao on the street.
Lu Xiang was stunned when he heard this, then looked at Qiao Jingru with a teasing look.
"It seems that after experiencing life and death betrayal, Big Brother has indeed learned a profound lesson and has learned his lesson."
"Xiangxiang." Qiao Jingru blushed, but she felt indescribably sweet in her heart.
When the three of them walked to the Chuihua Gate, they saw Mother Wen leading a wealthy and impressive woman walking towards them.
"Madam, Third Miss, Sixth Miss." Mother Wen greeted them by bowing when she saw them.
Upon hearing this, the lady immediately glanced at Lu Xiang and the other two with a shrewd look.
The one on the far left had her hair in a bun, and was obviously married. The one on the far right had a childish face that was too young for her age, so the lady's gaze finally fell on Lu Xiang, who was standing in the middle, with amazement in her eyes.
Lu Xiang was wearing a plain white jacket with plum blossom patterns, a red skirt with densely woven crabapple flowers, and a cloak of the same color. She had bright eyes and picturesque features. She was truly an unrivaled beauty.
"This must be the Third Miss, right?" The lady suddenly stepped forward, took Lu Xiang's hand, and said with a bright smile.
Lu Xiang raised his eyebrows slightly, looking at this naturally mature woman, revealing just the right amount of doubt.
She recognized the woman in front of her; it was Mrs. Cheng Anbo.
But I shouldn't have known Lu Xiang in this life.
Mother Wen saw the confusion in Lu Xiang's eyes and hurriedly introduced: "Miss Third, this is Madam Cheng Anbo, and this is the Fifth Young Master."
"Is this the announcement of the results of this autumn examination?" Lu Qiao asked in surprise, looking at the shy young master standing behind Mrs. Cheng Anbo.
Mrs. Cheng Anbo smiled and nodded: "It's my son."
"Greetings, Madam." Lu Xiangfu bowed.
Qiao Jingru and Lu Qiao followed suit and saluted.
Madam Cheng Anbo cheerfully asked everyone to stand up, and her eyes fell on Lu Xiang again: "I have heard that Miss Lu San is very beautiful, and today I see that she is really extraordinary."
Lu Xiang didn't know the purpose of Madam Cheng Anbo's visit. He only put on a polite smile and said shyly, "Madam, you are too kind. Lu Xiang is just a humble person and does not deserve such praise from you."
"You are not spoiled or indulgent, you are gentle and generous, you are a good child, you are the same age as my daughter, come to Cheng Anbo's mansion when you have time, my daughter likes to make friends, you two will definitely get along well."
Lu Xiang was slightly startled, and replied awkwardly: "Thank you for the invitation, Madam. I will definitely visit you when I have the chance."
Even in her previous life, she had only met Mrs. Cheng Anbo and they had no intersection at all.
Such enthusiasm gave her a creepy feeling.
"Okay." Madam Cheng Anbo smiled and patted Lu Xiang's hand: "It's an unfortunate day to come. I'll leave first."
"Madam, take care." Lu Xiang said.
Du Yuheng kept his head slightly lowered from beginning to end. When he passed by Lu Xiang, he quickly looked up at her, then lowered his head and hurriedly followed his mother. No one saw his ears turning red.
The three of them did not rush back, but waited for Mother Wen to come back after sending the people away.
"Mother Wen, why is Mrs. Cheng Anbo coming to our house?" Qiao Jingru asked.
Mother Wen glanced at Lu Xiang meaningfully and said, "Mrs. Cheng Anbo is here to pay her respects to the old lady."
But it is obvious that the real purpose is not to drink.
Lu Xiang was dazed by Mother Wen's gaze and blinked.
"The old lady asked Miss Three to go see her after she returns home." Mother Wen said with a smile.
Lu Xiang nodded and went to Fuyuan Hall with Qiao Jingru and Lu Qiao.
On the way, Qiao Jingru couldn't help asking, "Xiangxiang, is it my illusion? Madam Cheng Anbo is too enthusiastic towards you. I feel like she has bad intentions."
Lu Qiao immediately said, "I can't tell whether she has good intentions or not, but the way she looks at Third Sister is like a wolf seeing a little white rabbit."
The kind that emits light.
Lu Xiang listened to the two people talking with a smile on his face: "Don't guess, you will know when you meet grandma."
However, she had a vague guess in her heart, but it was really unbelievable that the Lu family had never had any dealings with the Cheng'an Earl's Mansion.
Suddenly, Qiao Jingru clapped her hands and said excitedly, "I figured it out. Madam Cheng Anbo might have taken a fancy to you and wants to propose marriage to her son."
Otherwise, who would bring their son instead of their daughter when visiting?
Lu Xiang's mouth twitched fiercely, and he looked at Qiao Jingru fiercely: "Sister-in-law, don't say anything."
This is what she is worried about. The sister-in-law is bringing up things that are not related to the topic.
Seeing how Lu Xiang got angry when he mentioned marriage, Qiao Jingru chuckled and quickly covered her mouth: "No, I won't say it."
Then he ran to Lu Qiao, pulled her and whispered in her ear: "Sixth sister, your third sister can learn everything, but you can't learn this. I don't know what Xiangxiang likes, so I can give her some advice."
Lu Qiao: “…”
Sister-in-law, it’s fine if you just gossip about yourself, but why do you have to drag me into this?
