Chapter 194 Friends
Whether I can get married or not is not up to your father.
Lan Su was momentarily speechless, but still replied irritably.
"Miss Liu, did you come here specifically to stop us?"
Although this silly girl doesn't seem like she's particularly aggressive, with her outspoken nature, doesn't anyone usually beat her up?
Lan Su was about to lose her temper.
"Yes," Liu Qianrou admitted directly.
"You never go out, so I have no chance to find Miss Lin."
Liu Qianrou was somewhat troubled.
"I've been waiting for you on the street next to your house for several days, and I never thought I'd actually see you."
“Miss Liu, if you wish to visit Princess Lin, you can simply send her an invitation and then visit her in person. Why go to all this trouble?” Yuan Hongqu sighed.
"I...I can't remember." Miss Liu touched the back of her head, her eyes looking confused.
"You just said I could go to the Lin family?"
"Why not? It's a normal visit, do you think we can stop you?" Lan Su said impatiently.
Liu Qianrou's big eyes instantly crinkled into crescent moons with laughter.
"Both the Ma family girl and the Shi family girl said that the Lin family girl is hiding at home and refusing to come out because she stole my county princess title..."
"Miss Liu, are you so persistent about the county princess?"
When Lan Su heard Liu Qianrou bring up the topic of snatching the county princess again, she couldn't help but feel aggrieved.
"Yes, my father said I might have a hard time getting married, but if I were a county princess, that would be a different story. My father was originally trying his best to get me a title, saying he would definitely be able to get me a county princess before I came of age. But after Miss Lin became a county princess, my father said, 'I'm afraid that's unlikely!'"
Liu Qianrou didn't realize that the three of them had only met today and weren't even acquainted yet, so she told them everything that had been discussed at home.
The servants of the Liu family seemed unfazed, suggesting that Miss Liu had said the same thing not only to them but also to others.
Yuan Hongqu and Daiyu exchanged a glance, understanding each other perfectly.
"I met Miss Lin today, and when I heard her call me 'sister,' I figured she didn't mean it. So I won't bother her anymore." Miss Liu looked at Daiyu, appearing very magnanimous.
"Can I play with you from now on? I originally wanted to play with the girls from the Ma family and the Shi family, but they wouldn't let me join them."
"Sister is so innocent and straightforward, of course I'd like to play with you." Daiyu didn't have many playmates, so she was more than happy to have more people to play with.
This Miss Liu seems innocent and easy to get along with.
"Your family should have received an invitation to the Flower Festival birthday banquet as well. You must come then," Daiyu earnestly invited.
"Sister, are you serious? No one has ever invited me to a banquet before." Liu Qianrou was very surprised.
"Of course it's true."
Because of Miss Liu's involvement, they ultimately did not go to the estate.
Daiyu unexpectedly gained a friend, who was the first companion she met in the capital, apart from her relatives in the Rongguo Mansion.
Although this friend is rather complicated.
However, Daiyu was happy, and the two rode their horses slowly towards the city.
The two little girls chattered away the whole way, talking non-stop.
Although it was mostly Liu Qianrou who spoke, and Daiyu who responded occasionally.
After entering the city, the Liu family girl insisted on escorting Daiyu to the Lin family before returning home.
Now that she had arrived at the Lin family home, Daiyu naturally invited her newly acquainted friend to come and sit down for a while.
The Liu family girl readily agreed.
In the evening, the Liu family brought a gift and took Miss Liu away.
Miss Liu was still not satisfied and made an appointment with Daiyu to go horseback riding together another day.
After washing up, Daiyu lay in bed, but couldn't fall asleep.
“Granny, although Sister Liu doesn’t know anything about poetry and songs, and is completely clueless about needlework and knitting, and even knows only her family’s names, I think she’s mostly confused. But I find it so easy to talk to her and play with her.”
Daiyu was completely sincere.
"I don't need to guess her emotions, because whether she likes or dislikes something, it's written all over her face."
"I will never force myself to do things I don't like, and it's enough to have had or seen things I like."
"She kept talking about wanting to be a county princess because the Duke of Li was afraid that she wouldn't be able to get married. He said it to her so many times that she started to take it seriously."
"But it wasn't her intention to cause trouble for me because she was instigated by others."
"She genuinely believed that two county princesses were equivalent to one county princess."
Daiyu chuckled.
"How can someone live such a simple life?"
"How can an eight-year-old child be so smart?" Yuan Hongqu laughed.
"Miss Liu has said this more than once today."
"You envy her simple mind, and she envy your exceptional intelligence. If you were to switch places, you certainly couldn't stand being as ignorant and fearless as her, and her personality couldn't control your talent."
“Granny, I used to think that the sisters in my maternal grandmother’s family had very different personalities, and that all women in the world were probably like that. But after meeting Sister Liu today, I realized that I was blinded by my own limited perspective.”
"You will meet many more people in the future. Just as no two leaves are the same, no two people are exactly alike. Each person is an independent individual. Before you understand someone, you cannot easily define them."
"Granny, I've heard of twins who look exactly alike, and even have identical personalities and behaviors. Aren't they just two completely identical people?"
Even twins are not the same. If someone who doesn't know them well looks at them at first glance, it's normal to think they are indistinguishable. But as you spend more time together, you'll discover their differences—personality, temperament, hobbies, habits, and so on.
"Granny, do you think it's possible to exchange one princess for two county princesses?"
"Do you really intend to grant Miss Liu's wish?"
"Hehe, it's better to share happiness than to enjoy it alone. Two county princesses will receive less attention than one county princess," Daiyu said with a light laugh.
"Don't let the Liu family girl influence you. She's going to become the county princess, and her family has their own plans for her. Let's not act rashly, lest we disrupt the Liu family's plans."
"Hmm. But Sister Liu is really cute! She looks a bit older than me, but she doesn't look mature like others at all. I think she's about the same age as Sister Xichun."
Daiyu had already sensed something was wrong during her time with Liu Qianrou.
Yuan Hongqu had already inquired about Miss Liu's situation.
Although the Duke of Li's mansion is not like the Duke of Rong's mansion, which is sieve-like and can spread all kinds of news, the daughter of the Duke of Li's family is too unusual, and it is still possible to find out about her.
