Chapter 509 Who threatens whom?
"So I'm still your dearest brother, right?" Lu Chao's handsome face suddenly moved closer to Lu Xiang and asked with a blink of his eyes.
Lu Xiang reached out and pushed his face away: "Yes!"
"Okay."
After receiving Lu Xiang's affirmation, Lu Chao suddenly became excited as if he had been injected with chicken blood. He picked up the porridge and slurped it. He not only ate the dumplings that he had poked into pieces, but also finished the whole basket of dumplings. Finally, he touched his stomach and pulled Qiao Jingru away with satisfaction.
As she was about to leave the house, Qiao Jingru stopped and turned to ask, "Xiangxiang, are you going to the palace to see the queen later?"
Lu Xiang nodded.
The Queen Mother has done so much for her, she should go to the palace to express her gratitude.
The screen with cranes and auspicious clouds was finished last night and was just in time to be delivered to the Empress.
"My elder brother found a top-grade blood jade. I'll bring it to you later and you can give it to the Queen. Although the Queen has seen many good things, this blood jade is rare." Qiao Jingru said.
After breakfast, Lu Xiang went to Fuyuan Hall to pay his respects to the old lady, and then left the house with the gifts.
The carriage was moving smoothly on the streets of the capital, when it suddenly jolted and then stopped.
Yunzha lifted the car curtain: "What's wrong?"
After waiting for a while, the driver came trotting over from behind and reported to the carriage: "Miss Third, the carriage is broken down."
"How long will it take to get better?" Lu Xiang's voice came from the carriage.
The driver replied: "About half an hour."
Lu Xiang looked at the sky outside, hesitated for a moment and said, "Go to the horse shop and rent a carriage. When the carriage is repaired, wait for me at the palace gate."
This place is some distance away from the palace. Instead of waiting another half hour, she might as well rent a carriage to go to the palace.
The driver replied, "Yes, Miss Third, please wait a moment. I will be right there."
Yunzha and A'man got off the carriage first, then took off the foot mat and let Lu Xiang get off.
"Miss, there is a teahouse next to us. Let's go sit there and wait." Yun Zha said, pointing to a small stall nearby.
Lu Xiang nodded and took the two of them to sit in the teahouse.
Just as he asked the boss to bring a pot of tea, a shadow fell beside Lu Xiang, and then a soft voice sounded in his ears.
"Miss Lu San, what a coincidence."
Lu Xiang turned his head and saw Song Zhenzhen standing there with a smile on her face.
She was wearing a rose-colored gold brocade dress, and her long, thick black hair was tied into a flowing bun, decorated with a tassel hairpin inlaid with crystals and pearls, and dotted with a few small water-flower hairpins all inlaid with rubies, which were obviously very valuable.
"Hello, Miss Song." Lu Xiang nodded.
Song Zhenzhen sat down on the other side of the table, and a gleam of jealousy flashed in her eyes as she looked at Lu Xiang.
The girl in front of me had a pure and elegant face, with feather-like dark eyebrows, slender and black, embedded in her forehead. She seemed to have walked out of a painting. When her eyes moved, it was as if thousands of datura flowers were quietly blooming, dazzling and fragrant.
"It won't be long before you and I are sisters."
Song Zhenzhen smoothed the wrinkles on her sleeves and chuckled.
Lu Xiang listened to the gnashing of teeth in her words and smiled back, "Thanks to the Duke of Anguo's kindness, I am looking forward to being a sister with Miss Song."
The anger in Song Zhenzhen's eyes must be as if she wants to strangle her to death, but she still has to pretend to be gentle. Isn't it tiring?
expect?
Song Zhenzhen felt a tightness in her chest when she heard what Lu Xiang said.
This was a provocation to her.
After Lu Xiang gained the Queen's favor, he came to compete with her for his father and elder brother.
But she had no intention of stopping it.
Damn Lu Xiang, she must not let her be involved with the Song family.
"Miss Third is really good at tricking people. She has fooled the Queen around and even made my father lower his status to acknowledge you as his daughter." Song Zhenzhen said gritting her teeth.
Lu Xiang glanced at her calmly, and a sneer rose at the corner of his lips: "Miss Song, have you lost your temper so quickly? Lord Anguo recognized me as a woman, which is a lowering of status. Then what about you, Miss Song? I am the daughter of the Minister of Works, and you are just an orphan. How much more noble are you than me?"
Song Zhenzhen's face suddenly darkened, and she clenched her fists in anger: "Lu Xiang, if the Queen and Dad knew your true face, would they still like you so much?"
She seemed to have caught Lu Xiang's weakness, and her expression was smug but also a little ferocious.
Lu Xiang smiled indifferently: "It's the same for you. I wonder if Duke Anguo and the Crown Prince will still love you after they know your sarcastic and mean face."
"How dare you..." Song Zhenzhen slammed the table angrily: "Are you threatening me?"
"Didn't Miss Song do it first?" Lu Xiang said, "I was sitting here, and it was you, Miss Song, who took the initiative to come over and chat with me. It was also you who spoke rudely first. Who is threatening whom?"
Lu Xiang slowly restrained his expression, and his beautiful face was full of coldness, like the icicles under the extremely cold river, which was chilling.
Song Zhenzhen was frightened, as if her throat was pinched by an invisible hand. Her breathing stopped for a moment. She looked at Lu Xiang in panic, speechless for a moment!
A gust of wind blew by, and Song Zhenzhen came back to her senses with a start.
The servant who went to the carriage shop to rent a carriage came back with a carriage. Seeing this, Lu Xiang stood up and looked at Song Zhenzhen and said:
"Ms. Song, please take your time. I'm sorry I can't keep you company."
Without waiting for Song Zhenzhen to speak, she turned around, got on the carriage and left.
The Lu family's servant glanced at Song Zhenzhen, then quickly drove their carriage away.
My goodness, this lady’s expression is so scary. I don’t know if she is scared.
Song Zhenzhen's personal maid stepped forward and said, "Miss..."
"Go back home."
Who the hell did Lu Xiang think he was? How dare he talk to her like that?
Don’t think that just because you are my father’s adopted daughter you are the daughter of the Song family. Lu Xiang is different from her.
She was adopted by her father since she was a child, just like his biological daughter. She has lived with her father and elder brother for so many years, and the relationship they have with them is not something that an outsider like Lu Xiang can compare to.
So what if the Queen likes Lu Xiang.
She is the one that father and elder brother truly love.
She wanted Lu Xiang to see clearly that even though they were both adopted daughters, her status in the Song family was incomparable to Lu Xiang's.
The driver stayed behind to repair the carriage, and Ah Man drove it.
Yun Zha and Lu Xiang were sitting in the carriage, and couldn't help asking, "Miss, Miss Song seems to be very hostile to you. Will this affect An Guogong's recognition of you as his adopted daughter?"
