Chapter 469 You Are Worthy
Lu Qiao stood outside the door and knocked gently.
"It must be Miss Six." Yutian's surprised voice rang out in the room, and soon the door was opened: "Miss Six."
Lu Qiao smiled and nodded, then took Qiuying into the house.
Although there was no heating in the house, it was warm because of the burning charcoal.
Yutian helped her take off the fox fur coat.
"Aunt." Lu Qiao called Aunt Lin and sat down beside her with a smile.
Aunt Lin looked at her daughter with joy, holding her cold little hands and rubbing them: "Why don't you hold a hand warmer when your hands are so cold?"
"I came from the front yard and forgot for a moment."
Aunt Lin heard this and pulled her hand closer to the charcoal basin: "Warm your hands quickly."
"good."
"Has everyone gone home?" asked Aunt Lin.
Lu Qiao: "No, my grandmother went back first, and my eldest brother, his wife and my third sister took the lead in playing with fireworks and firecrackers."
As she spoke, she waved to Qiuying. Qiuying understood and quickly opened the food box. Plates of exquisite pastries, snacks, and rare fruits were placed on the table.
"These were sent to Third Sister by the Queen this morning. Third Sister gave me quite a bit. I will be staying up all night with Auntie tonight."
Aunt Lin gave her a helpless look and said, "Why did you bring the things that Miss San gave you to the North Courtyard again? Aunt has no shortage of food and clothing here."
The food supplies in the mansion are managed jointly by the eldest young lady and the third young lady. Even though she moved to the north courtyard, the servants dare not step on her. Although it cannot be compared with the past, it is not worse either.
When Lu Qiao came to the North Courtyard for the first time with the cakes given by the Queen Mother, Aunt Lin was completely at a loss, fearing that Lu Qiao's actions would make Lu Xiang feel humiliated. It was only after Lu Qiao assured her that she had informed Lu Xiang about her bringing the cakes to the North Courtyard that Aunt Lin breathed a sigh of relief.
From then on, whenever she got something good, she would always bring it to the North Courtyard first.
"It would be boring for me to eat alone. Third sister said that the plum wine she brewed will be available soon. I will then ask aunt for a pot for me to try. In fact, I also drank the Zhengyuan wine that third sister brewed tonight, but this wine is strong and third sister thinks it is not suitable for me. Almost all the wine in the jar went into the stomachs of father and eldest brother." Lu Qiao chattered incessantly, and aunt Lin listened quietly at the side with a faint smile on her lips.
As she was talking, she suddenly saw something in the charcoal basin: "Huh? What's in it?"
Seeing her curiosity, Mother Liu smiled and peeled away the charcoal covering the top, revealing the sweet potatoes, taro and chestnuts inside.
Lu Qiao: "Are the sweet potatoes ripe?"
Mother Liu took a look and said, "It's cooked."
"Give me one first."
…
After the palace banquet, Chu Qingyun couldn't wait to get on the carriage to go to the Chen family to pick up Chen Ruijin.
Chu Jinyan looked at Chu Qingyun who ran faster than a rabbit and gritted his teeth in jealousy.
Suddenly, a soft and gentle voice sounded behind me.
"Your Highness, wait a moment."
Chu Jinyan continued walking forward with an expressionless face, with no intention of stopping at all.
Sheng Xian looked back curiously, then said, "Your Highness, it seems to be Princess Wen Shuang."
Chu Jinyan: “…”
The cold expression remained unmoved.
Who is it and what does it have to do with him?
Zheng Wenshuang looked at the handsome and tall figure in front of her who did not stop for her. She pursed her red lips and a hint of grievance flashed in her beautiful eyes.
After hesitating for a moment, she lifted her skirt and strode over.
Then Sheng Xian saw Zheng Wenshuang standing in front of them, her face slightly raised, and when her eyes fell on Chu Jinyan's face, there was a faint light jumping.
Chu Jinyan was forced to stop, his brows furrowed, and an air of dissatisfaction emanated from his whole body.
Zheng Wenshuang was so choked by his stern gaze that she subconsciously wanted to retreat, but she quickly suppressed her fear and mustered up her courage. A faint smile spread across her lips: "My carriage is broken, Your Highness, can you give me a ride?"
hiss!
Sheng Xian gasped in shock and secretly admired the girl's courage.
Hasn't she heard of her master's bad reputation outside?
How many girls who came to his door were ruthlessly thrown away by him. He was cold and merciless, with a vicious mouth and absolutely no mercy for women. There was no end to humiliation, only more humiliation. The girls in the capital really loved and hated their master.
Of course, except for the third young lady of the Lu family.
How could Zheng Wenshuang have the nerve to think that she was different from other women?
Chu Jinyan glanced at Zheng Wenshuang with a dim gaze and said coldly, "No."
The smile on Zheng Wenshuang's face suddenly froze, and she blurted out, "Why... why?"
"Tsk—" Chu Jinyan sneered coldly and said mercilessly: "Are you worthy?"
Zheng Wenshuang's face suddenly turned pale, like a little white flower that was severely damaged by the strong wind, looking pitiful and helpless.
Sheng Xian turned his head silently. It’s his fault!
Her mother had a vicious mind and wanted to harm the master's life. She even used despicable means to threaten the master with Miss Lu San. It would be a miracle if the master had a good face towards Zheng Wenshuang.
On the contrary, if Zheng Wenshuang does not take the initiative to provoke, the master will treat her as air, but if she does not know how to approach him, he will only be more ruthless and indifferent than to others.
"Cousin, how could you do this to me?" Zheng Wenshuang looked at Chu Jinyan with a hurt expression, her eyes slightly red.
"You call me cousin too? Be aware of your identity." Chu Jinyan said in a cold voice. He took two steps to the side, walked past Zheng Wenshuang and left.
Zheng Wenshuang was left trembling slightly in embarrassment.
"Princess..."
The maid Caiyun stepped forward cautiously and called out.
Zheng Wenshuang took a deep breath, clenched her hands into fists, and her pretty face flashed with determination to win.
"Sooner or later, I will make you see only me."
Caiyun glanced at Zheng Wenshuang silently and quickly lowered her head.
What gave the princess such strong self-confidence?
After a pause, Caiyun, adhering to the principles of a qualified maid, said, "Princess, it's obvious that the Eighth Prince is not easy to get along with." Let's not set our sights on him.
Do you think those words are what a gentleman should say?
Zheng Wenshuang disagreed with Caiyun's words, and raised her chin slightly like a proud peacock: "What's the big deal? He is the favorite son of the emperor uncle, and maybe he will be the future crown prince. I'm asking, besides him, who in the whole capital can be worthy of me?"
As a princess, is she going to marry those playboys who only know how to eat, drink and have fun? Even if she has a good family background, who can compare with the princes?
Only the status of a prince's consort can match her, let alone the crown princess and future queen.
Caiyun moved her lips, wanting to tell her princess not to have such happy thoughts, but she swallowed the words back when they reached her lips.
He knew the princess' temper very well, and he kept pouring cold water on her, but in the end he would suffer a loss.
The princess will not give up until she hits the wall. After hitting the wall a few times with the Eighth Prince, she will stop.
