Chapter 580: Naive Woman
The woman was startled by Yun Lu's scolding. She looked at Lu Xiang with fear and trepidation, and explained nervously: "Miss Third, please calm down. I didn't mean it. It's just that everyone has always called me Xiangxiang before. I'm used to it and I haven't changed it for a while. Please forgive me, Miss Third."
As she spoke, she knelt down on one knee, her body trembling slightly in panic, which was very adorable.
Lu Xiang rested her elbows on the armrests of the chair, supported her forehead with one hand, tilted her head and said with a half-smile: "I heard Ah Man call you Meng Meng, but you call yourself Xiang Xiang. I don't even know what your name is anymore."
The woman raised her head, carefully sized up Lu Xiang, and said softly, "My maiden name is Meng, and my maiden name is Yixiang. I have been with Your Highness for more than ten years. Today, I am here on Your Highness' orders to deliver a message to the Third Miss."
Lu Xiang looked at her indifferently and raised his chin towards her, signaling her not to stop and continue speaking.
Meng Yixiang was stunned for a moment before continuing, "His Highness has booked a private room in Chun Man Lou and invited Miss Three to have a chat."
Lu Xiang: "Oh, I see."
Meng Yixiang looked at Lu Xiang's indifferent expression and couldn't help but show suspicion.
Now that you know this, why are you just sitting there doing nothing?
After hesitating for a moment, she continued, "The carriage is waiting outside the mansion, please come in, Miss Third."
Lu Xiang changed his hand to support himself and said nonchalantly, "No."
"Not going?" A scream suddenly sounded. Meng Yixiang looked at Lu Xiang in disbelief, her bright face as stiff as stone. "Why? His Highness has given an order, doesn't Miss San know the consequences of disobeying it?"
Is she crazy?
It's so straightforward to say that I can't go.
In Meng Yixiang's opinion, it was a blessing for Lu Xiang to be favored by Chu Jinyan and married as his principal wife. She should be careful to please the Eighth Prince at all times to protect this hard-earned status, instead of being so complacent and arrogant.
Did she think that since the imperial decree had been issued, she could still be petty and try to get the Eighth Prince to coax her?
Humph, what a naive woman.
Lu Xiang had no idea what Meng Yixiang was thinking. If he knew, he would probably laugh out loud in silence.
When she married Chu Jinyan, it was never a cautious attempt to please him or a compromising flattery.
"I don't know." Lu Xiang looked at Meng Yixiang, who was in shock, with a slight smile on his face, and said lightly: "Miss Meng, why don't you let me see it for yourself."
Meng Yixiang's stiff expression was like a wind-dried stone statue, as if it would crack inch by inch in the next moment.
Lu Xiang's eyes were gentle, but Meng Yixiang felt as if the pressure on her was choking her breath and her heart was beating fast: "I...I dare not!"
"Miss Meng, have you finished speaking? If you have, then please leave." The obvious order to leave was like an invisible slap in the face, making Meng Yixiang's face instantly red as blood.
She moved her lips and wanted to say something, but under Lu Xiang's sullen gaze, she couldn't utter a word. She could only say "goodbye" dryly, and then subconsciously glanced at Ah Man.
But no one knew what Ah Man was thinking. Her beautiful eyebrows were almost twisted into a knot, and she didn't even notice the look Meng Yixiang gave her.
Meng Yixiang was choked by the smell and had to leave angrily.
She got into the carriage with a grim face, feeling both angry and anxious. She hadn't even done such a small task entrusted to her by His Highness, and she didn't know what His Highness would think.
