Chapter 193 Liu Qianrou
“Now that we’re out, why don’t we take a trip to Goose Village? Granny, I also want to see Xiangrui.”
Daiyu's eyes were sparkling.
As she spoke, she urged her horse forward, and Lan Su quickly took her arm, and the two of them ran ahead again.
"Granny, we'll go ahead first, you should hurry too."
Daiyu's silvery laughter came from ahead, and Yuan Hongqu smiled and urged her horse to catch up.
Since the nanny said that this birthday banquet could alleviate Father's critical situation in Yangzhou and put his mind at ease,
She was no longer afraid of the tedious process.
Even if it's just to make her a mascot, that wouldn't be out of the question.
"Wait a minute, stop! Stop right now..."
Dust billowed on the official road as a man and a horse galloped from afar, calling for the person ahead to stop.
Could the horse have spooked itself?
Why else would someone stop their horse for no reason?
Yuan Hongqu didn't rein in her horse; instead, she urged it to go even faster.
"Lan Su, there's a horse spooked behind us! Move to the side!" Yuan Hongqu shouted as she chased after them.
Seeing that Lan Su had brought the horse under control and moved it aside, Yuan Hongqu felt relieved and gradually slowed down.
By this time, the horses behind had caught up.
"Whoa..."
The horse was reined in and stopped abruptly in front of Yuan Hongqu.
Yuan Hongqu almost bumped into it.
If we crash into it, whose responsibility would it be?
Yuan Hongqu was momentarily stunned when her horse was pulled away by someone, especially since she was not a very skilled driver.
"You must be Princess Lin? How come you're so old?"
Before Yuan Hongqu could calm down, she heard the woman in red riding ahead, as if her hair had been bristled, angrily start complaining.
She then noticed that the woman was dressed in red, which was very flamboyant. She had thick eyebrows, big eyes, and a round face, which made it clear that she was full of vitality.
The woman in red held a riding whip, her eyes filled with a clear naiveté.
She was a noblewoman who knew nothing of human suffering.
Yuan Hongqu recalled Jia Zheng's words from a few days ago, and a thought stirred within her:
"Are you Qianrou, the girl from the Liu family?"
"How did you know? Have you seen me before? I don't recognize you. Have I become so famous?" Liu Qianrou was full of surprise upon hearing Yuan Hongqu's words, and asked four questions in quick succession.
"I've heard of Miss Liu's great name." Yuan Hongqu smiled slightly. This Miss Liu in the capital was an anomaly.
He is known for being brainless.
Someone might be faking their stupidity, but they could be harboring a lot of ulterior motives.
Liu Qianrou's lack of brains wasn't an act; she was genuinely stupid.
After hearing Jia Zheng's words, Yuan Hongqu also had someone inquire about the deeds of the Liu family's daughter.
Everyone said that the Liu family's daughter was stupid and brainless, but Yuan Hongqu thought otherwise.
This girl didn't do anything heinous.
They are easily used as pawns.
And because she was extremely spoiled at home,
Terribly naive.
They foolishly hurt others without realizing it.
Unfortunately, the Liu family is known for their lack of intelligence.
However, because of the great contributions of their ancestors...
Their family rests on the laurels of their ancestors.
Without doing anything, one can secure a place among the nobles of the capital.
Moreover, although emperors of all dynasties did not favor the Liu family, they never mistreated them.
After understanding the situation, Yuan Hongqu thought that Liu Qianrou was probably being used as a pawn again.
However, being told you're old to your face, even if you're not very bright, doesn't feel good.
Upon hearing Yuan Hongqu mention that she had heard of her great reputation, Liu Qianrou's tense face suddenly relaxed, and she spoke with boundless enthusiasm:
"You're a trustworthy person. I've never even met you, yet you know my name. I consider you a friend!"
Yuan Hongqu was astonished. Is this all it takes to befriend someone? All I did was call out your name?
Is the threshold for becoming friends with you so low?
At this moment, Lan Su and Daiyu had turned their horses around and walked over, while the people following Liu Qianrou also caught up.
"Mr. Yuan, did you run into someone you know?" Lan Su saw Liu Qianrou and Yuan Hongqu talking and assumed that the two knew each other.
"Mr. Yuan? You're not Princess Lin!" Liu Qianrou was immediately a little embarrassed. "It doesn't matter if you're not Princess Lin, I think you're quite nice. From now on, we're good friends!"
Yuan Hongqu smiled kindly.
"Princess Lin is eight years old this year. Do I look like I'm only eight?"
"It doesn't look like it." Liu Qianrou was even more embarrassed. "Eight years old should be a child, you look like you're eighteen!"
Yuan Hongqu chuckled. It's hard not to be happy when someone says you're young!
She longs to be eighteen, but many years have passed since she turned eighteen.
Looking at Liu Qianrou again, Yuan Hongqu felt a pang of pity, realizing that she might have been wrong. This child was probably mentally challenged, unable to distinguish between eight and eighteen years old.
If it's simply bad, then it's unforgivable.
But if he's really stupid, would she still bother arguing with a stupid child?
"Sister, are you looking for me?" Daiyu, sitting upright on horseback, found her older sister quite interesting and couldn't help but ask.
"What did you call me?" Liu Qianrou's eyes sparkled with a look of surprise.
Daiyu was a little confused, but she still asked, "Can't I call you 'elder sister'?"
This older sister looks about thirteen or fourteen years old, definitely older than me. Isn't it right to call her "older sister"?
"Could you call me again?" Liu Qianrou's features suddenly softened, and her voice became gentle.
"Sister," Daiyu called out, though she didn't know why.
"Yes," Liu Qianrou responded, her face beaming.
"I've always wanted a little sister all my life, but unfortunately, I've never had such a lovely voice calling me 'older sister'!"
Liu Qianrou patted her chest and said, "I'll protect you from now on! When I become a county princess, I'll definitely share half with you, little sister."
Lin Daiyu was dumbfounded, Lan Su was stunned, and Yuan Hongqu felt as if she were about to be petrified.
The servants of the Liu family were used to it, so they were not surprised.
“Miss Lin, Mr. Yuan, my young lady is naive and only came to see the princess because she heard gossip…”
"You are Princess Lin?" Upon hearing the name "Princess Lin," Liu Qianrou seemed to have unlocked a secret, and immediately asked.
"They all say you stole my position as county magistrate. Why did you steal it?"
Just as Daiyu was about to explain, Liu Qianrou spoke up again.
"If my sister wants it, I can give it to you. But it's not good to steal."
I'm asking you for something, but can you afford to give it back? You're not the emperor!
Daiyu couldn't believe that anyone could have such a thought process.
“Miss Liu, Princess Lin’s title was earned by herself! It was because Princess Lin is exceptionally intelligent that the Emperor bestowed upon her the title of Princess, not because he stole it from you.” Lan Su couldn’t hold back any longer and shouted angrily.
You can't talk to this kind of person nicely; you have to yell at them!
"You're so pretty, why are you so fierce? My dad says if you're too fierce, you'll never get married!"
