Chapter 513 The Queen is Watching
Song Zhenzhen watched helplessly as the old lady was taken away by Shaohua. She was so angry that her body could not help but tremble slightly. The rage burning in her chest was about to burst out of her body uncontrollably.
"Grandma..."
"My Lord, is the Second Miss here?"
When Song Zhenzhen opened her mouth to call the old lady, Yunlu interrupted her and asked with a smile, "Duke Anguo." The title was also changed as Lu Xiang became a daughter of the Song family.
Duke Anguo did not notice Song Zhenzhen's strange behavior. He looked at Yunlu and said, "Zhenzhen just said that she went to Guiyun Pavilion."
"Guiyun Pavilion?" Yun Lu looked puzzled.
Duke Anguo smiled and explained, "This is the boudoir I prepared for Xiangxiang in the mansion."
Yun Lu understood immediately and said, "Then I will go over and take a look."
"Aunt Yunlu, I'll accompany you." Song Zhenzhen said with a smile, taking the opportunity to gain Yunlu's favor.
Yun Lu raised a proper smile and said, "The young lady is busy entertaining guests. I dare not trouble you, so I will go by myself." As she said this, she bowed respectfully and said, "I will take my leave."
Song Zhenzhen forced a smile and nodded at her.
But I felt like vomiting to death.
Yunlu has always been respectful and polite to her, and she never thought there was anything wrong with it in the past. She is the noble daughter of Duke Anguo, and even if Yunlu follows the Queen, she is just a servant, and she should be respectful to her.
But now, comparing the attitudes of several senior palace maids around the queen towards Lu Xiang, Song Zhenzhen felt uncomfortable.
While Yunlu and the others were respectful to Lu Xiang, they spoke to him in a familiar manner, as if they treated Lu Xiang as one of their own.
And what about yourself?
To them he was just an outsider.
Damn it! She is the only daughter of the Duke of Anguo, but the Queen would rather dote on an outsider than get close to her.
In order for Lu Xiang to be successfully adopted by her father today, Shaohua even let her aunt take her away.
When will the Queen be so attentive to her?
The more Song Zhenzhen thought about it, the angrier she became, and the gloom in her eyes could hardly be hidden.
Seeing that her master was about to lose control, Liu Xiang hurriedly whispered in her ear to comfort her: "Miss, don't be angry, let her be proud for a while."
When Song Zhenzhen heard Liu Xiang's words, she clenched her fists tightly and tried to calm herself down.
"That's right, I can't lose my composure today."
Without the old lady to take the lead and make a fuss, she had to keep her composure and not let her father and eldest brother be disappointed in her.
Lu Xiang, there is a long way to go!
Yunlu was going to Guiyun Pavilion, and many maids were eager to lead the way.
The exquisite attic, the corners of the house with flying eaves, and the glazed tiles on the roof sparkle in the sun.
There is a sycamore tree in the yard with half of its leaves dead and the other half bare branches. Behind the attic, a few red plum trees were transplanted from the plum garden a few days ago, giving the yard, which looks a little bleak in winter, a different look.
Lu Xiang was looking down from the second floor and saw Yunlu walking in. He waved and called out, "Aunt Yunlu."
Yun Lu looked up when she heard the voice and immediately smiled warmly: "This servant greets the Second Miss and congratulates the Second Miss."
Lu Xiang hurried down the stairs.
"Are you here alone?"
Yunlu: "No, I'm with Shaohua."
"What about Aunt Shaohua?"
Yunlu: "Bring the lady to the palace to see the queen."
When the old lady was mentioned, Lu Xiang was slightly startled: "Ah?"
Yun Lu smiled meaningfully, "It's an important occasion for Duke Anguo to recognize his daughter. The old lady considers herself the elder of the Song family, so she would come even if she wasn't invited. Besides, it's impossible for the Duke to skip her, otherwise the old lady would make a scene. If it was an old lady of the next generation, it would be fine, but she is the aunt of the queen and the Duke, and the old Duke Anguo received a lot of help from her when he was young."
"Now that Duke Anguo is in power, the Song family, as big as it is, has to rely on him. Even if they are dissatisfied, they will not say anything rude to Duke Anguo. But the old lady is taking advantage of her age and will not have such scruples. The old lady is not a bad person, but she is old and likes to meddle in other people's business. Your Majesty does not want to cause trouble on a day like today, so before leaving the palace, she specifically told me and Shaohua that it would be best if the old lady did not come. If she does, she will ask Shaohua to coax her into the palace. With Your Majesty watching, she will not come to the Duke Anguo's mansion to make trouble again."
"Second Miss, did the old lady give you any trouble?"
Lu Xiang chuckled: "It's not difficult."
One has to sigh at the Queen's foresight. She really knows this old lady very well. Now that she is not in the Duke Anguo's Mansion, Song Zhenzhen will not act rashly, and she can have a peaceful day.
Yunlu, however, had a look of disbelief on her face: "Second Miss, please stop covering up for her. I have been with the Empress for so many years, and I can at least understand 70% of her temper. When Shaohua and I went to see the Duke, she had a fierce face and looked like she was asking for punishment. Who in the mansion dared to make her angry? I can tell at a glance that she must be dissatisfied with the fact that Lord Anguo recognized you as his daughter."
Lu Xiang listened to Yunlu's analysis and couldn't help but smile bitterly: "Aunt Yunlu, you can go to the Ministry of Justice to judge the case."
"Hehe, no problem, no problem." Yun Lu accepted Lu Xiang's high evaluation of her without any modesty: "Second Miss, don't take it to heart. No matter how domineering the old lady is, she can't reach the Song family. You have the Queen's support. Don't be afraid. After today, you will be the honorable Miss of the Duke of Anguo. Since the Duke has recognized you, he will treat you as his own daughter."
Lu Xiang felt a little warm in his heart and said with a smile: "Your Majesty and the Duke have shown great kindness to me. I really have no way to repay you."
As she was speaking, she heard someone calling her.
"Xiang Xiang."
Lu Xiang turned his head and saw He Zhiyan standing outside the yard with a smile on her face, and next to her was Chen Ruijin.
There was another person who surprised Lu Xiang—Chen Pin.
"Sister He." Lu Xiang called out, and then knelt down to greet Chen Rujin: "Greetings to Concubine Chen."
"Hello, Miss Shen."
Chen Rujin quickly reached out her hand to help her up, and said with a smile: "Don't be polite, Xiangxiang, we are really destined to be together. From now on, we will be sisters in name only."
Although the relationship between the Chen family and the Song family is a bit distant as they are several generations apart, they are still relatives after all.
No wonder she and Lu Xiang hit it off right away.
It turns out that we were destined to be sisters.
I somehow felt that our relationship had become closer.
Chen Pin glanced at Lu Xiang awkwardly and said awkwardly, "Congratulations."
It's really jaw-dropping.
Who would have thought that Lu Xiang would become the adopted daughter of the Song family.
Ahem! Thinking about how they and Zhenzhen used to be hostile and cold towards Lu Xiang, now they just feel so embarrassed.
However, she and Zhenzhen are both daughters of the Song family and have become sisters. She will no longer bear grudges from the past.
After all, she took the initiative to show her goodwill. Zhenzhen's sister is also her sister.
What's more, Qiao Jingru was very obedient to her sister-in-law Lu Xiang, so no matter how she thought about it, she couldn't offend Lu Xiang too much.
