Chapter 287 Treat Me Like Life
"Grandma." Lu Xiang called out, lifting the quilt and wanting to get up.
The old lady hurriedly said, "Don't move, don't move, lie down."
Yunzhe hurriedly moved a stool to the side of the bed for the old lady to sit on.
The old lady looked at Lu Xiang from head to toe with distress, and finally returned her gaze to her slightly pale face: "God bless you, I hope you come back safely, I hope you come back safely, where are you hurt?"
Lu Xiang cast a soothing look at the old lady: "I'm sorry to have made you worry, it's my fault." Then she touched her chest and said: "It's here, but the heart is not hurt."
The old lady immediately gasped.
“This…this, this…”
She looked at Lu Xiang in astonishment, a trace of fear appearing on her face.
She was just a little bit away from never seeing her granddaughter again.
The old lady held Lu Xiang's hand tremblingly, her face terrified and she couldn't utter a word for a long time.
After a long while, the old lady turned around and said to Yun Zhe and Mother Wen, "You wait outside."
The two responded and left the house.
Yunzha closed the door.
"When Ah Man came back to report the news, I only understood half of what he said. How could you go to a wedding banquet and encounter bandits? Ah Man said that those people came directly for you. Who wanted to harm you? How could you be saved by the Eighth Prince? Could it be that you and the Eighth Prince..."
As she spoke, the old lady suddenly paused and looked at Lu Xiang thoughtfully.
She couldn't help but think too much, because often things that are too coincidental have reasons.
Ah Man meant that the Eighth Prince was also injured.
As a prince of noble status, why does he care so much about Lu Xiang?
There are countless noble ladies in the capital, but no matter how they rank, the Lu family will never be ranked first.
Lu Xiang understood what the old lady meant, and a hint of shyness appeared on her pretty face. She lowered her eyes slightly, and the corners of her mouth curved slightly. Looking at Lu Xiang's shy and coquettish look, how could the old lady not understand.
My heart couldn't help but skip a beat.
"Xiangxiang, grandma doesn't mean to throw cold water on you, but the Eighth Prince is so noble, how can he be wholeheartedly devoted to you?"
Given their family background, the emperor would not agree to make Xiangxiang the principal wife.
Do I have to endure the humiliation of being a concubine?
Even though the prince's concubine was crowned with the Royal Jade Butterfly and had a noble status, she was still a concubine after all.
There is the pressure from the queen above, and the rules are in place, so every move cannot go wrong. The old lady would never let her granddaughter suffer such an injustice.
Right now the Eighth Prince is concerned about Xiangxiang, but what about later?
Her granddaughter doesn't have to marry into a wealthy family to seek benefits for the family. She just hopes to find a man who can love and pamper her and live a happy life in harmony.
It is enough for the Lu family to have one daughter enter the palace.
"Grandmother." Lu Xiang looked at the old lady tenderly and said, "That group of people kidnapped me in order to lure the Eighth Prince here. He could have ignored this request, but he showed up anyway, willing to sacrifice his life for my safety."
The old lady was shocked when she heard this...
Lu Xiang continued, "Because he wanted to save me, the Eighth Prince allowed those people to torture him. He was shot with ten arrows because I was held hostage. Obviously, he was very skilled in martial arts and it would be easy for him to kill those people, but he didn't dare to gamble with my life, so he would rather give up his own life... Grandmother, I don't know what will happen in the future, but at least now, no man will cherish me more than you do."
The old lady looked at Lu Xiang and was unable to speak for a long time.
I was so shocked by Lu Xiang's words that I didn't know what to do.
She never expected Chu Jinyan to do this for Lu Xiang.
The old lady really couldn't find any complaints about a man who valued Lu Xiang's life more than his own.
"Grandmother, I couldn't bear to see the Eighth Prince die for me, so I took the hairpin that I had hidden in my sleeve and stabbed myself in the heart. I thought that as long as I died, those people would no longer be able to use me to threaten the Eighth Prince."
Old lady: “…”
The Eighth Prince has done so much, can she still blame her granddaughter for not cherishing her own life?
No girl can refuse a man who regards her as his life.
Madam smacked her lips and sighed. She touched Lu Xiang's pale face helplessly and uneasily. "Grandmother knows. A woman's whole life is just to find a loyal man and stay together forever. The Eighth Prince loves you like this. You won't find another one in the whole capital. But he is of noble status. I heard from your father that the Emperor likes this son very much. The wife he chooses for him must be from a noble family. This road is not easy to take. Grandmother can't bear to see you suffer as a concubine."
Lu Xiang leaned on the old lady's shoulder obediently and chuckled, "Grandma, His Highness said he would marry me as his concubine, and I believe him."
If Chu Jinyan could not avoid the emperor's marriage and marry the daughter of a noble family as her concubine, then she would turn around and leave neatly, and would never drag her feet and become a concubine.
The old lady smiled, but she didn't have that much confidence in Chu Jinyan.
It’s just that the Eighth Prince is deeply in love with his granddaughter, and the old lady can’t do anything to break up the couple at this time.
Xiao Mansion.
In the new house, Liu Anyao finished dressing and walked out of the inner room. When she saw Xiao Muheng sitting in the outer room drinking tea, a shy smile immediately appeared on her face.
She was wearing a bright red long dress embroidered with peonies, her hair was as black as clouds, her eyes were as clear as water, and her beauty was filled with an indescribable charm.
"Husband." She called softly.
Xiao Muheng smiled at her faintly.
Thinking of the red stain on the Yuanpa he saw in the morning, the haze that had been hidden deep in Xiao Muheng's heart suddenly disappeared.
Although he said that he believed in Liu Anyao's innocence when he asked for a kiss, he had actually always been bothered by her. He just ignored it deliberately because of the power of the Liu family.
Now that it has been proven that the wife he married is indeed a virgin, Xiao Muheng naturally feels relieved all over.
So he couldn't help but give Liu Anyao a sincere smile.
"Let's go, Dad and Mom are waiting."
As Xiao Muheng spoke, he took the initiative to hold Liu Anyao's hand.
Liu Anyao felt the tenderness and love of her husband, and her heart was as sweet as honey.
"Husband, I'm so nervous. I don't know if Dad and Mom will like me."
Xiao Muheng smiled and said, "Don't be nervous, I'm here. Dad and Mom will definitely like you."
What's not to like about marrying the daughter of a prime minister?
In the main hall, Madam Xiao and Mr. Xiao sat in the main seats, nervously waiting for their daughter-in-law to serve them tea.
Xiao Xiao sat next to the two men's assistants.
Lu Mingzhu sat opposite Xiao Xiao.
This morning, the old woman who guarded her yard left. Lu Mingzhu thought that she would formally meet the new lady today, so she dressed herself up with all her might, determined to outdo Liu Anyao.
Today she was wearing a peach-colored skirt with hibiscus patterns and silver brocade sleeves. In her hair was a gold hairpin with ruby filigree butterflies. The hairpins had red gold tassels hanging down on both sides of her neck. Her brows were filled with a smile, and she was truly more beautiful than flowers and more endearing.
