Chapter 439 Trying to Please
This argument is reasonable and there is nothing wrong with it.
The mother and her two daughters were chatting animatedly when they heard the maid outside bowing: "This servant greets His Royal Highness the Crown Prince."
Prince?
The mother, her two daughters and their two children quickly stood up. Before they could walk out, Li Hongting had already walked in.
Yu Xiuying took the lead in bowing: "I greet His Royal Highness the Crown Prince."
"I have met His Highness the Crown Prince."
"I have seen His Royal Highness the Crown Prince."
Li Hongting took two quick steps to help Yu Xiuying up: "Madam, there is no need to be so polite."
Lu Shian also followed Yu Xiuying, and was obedient, not saying a word or looking up.
After Li Hongting sat down, his eyes fell on Lu Shian. Seeing her hiding from him like this, he couldn't help but raise the corners of his mouth.
"I was delayed in handling the memorials, please don't blame me, Madam."
"From the prince's place."
Yu Xiuying knew that she had never seen the world, so she didn't dare to say anything careless, for fear of causing trouble for her daughter.
Suddenly no one spoke and the air was filled with awkwardness.
Lu Xianchun nudged Lu Shian with his elbow, and Lu Shian walked out from behind Yu Xiuying.
"Your Highness, the Crown Prince has not visited the Marquis' Mansion yet, right? How about I take you around?"
"In that case, I'll trouble Shi'an."
Lu Shian turned around and led the way, and saw Yongkang Hou and Lu Jingxun quickly walk into Tingfeng Garden.
When the prince arrives, the ministers naturally have to welcome him.
The father and son bowed to Li Hongting and said, "I didn't know that Your Highness the Crown Prince would come. I'm sorry for not welcoming you. I hope Your Highness the Crown Prince will not blame me."
"You are too polite, my Lord. Today, I am here to accompany Shi'an back home. You two don't need to be polite."
Lu Jingxun turned around and whispered to Lu Shian, "The prince is coming today, why didn't you tell me in advance?"
Before Lu Shian could speak, Li Hongting spoke first: "Your Highness, there is no need to blame Shian. It is me who wants to give Shian a surprise."
But Lu Shian was not surprised at all.
Hearing Li Hongting defending Lu Shian like this, the Marquis was secretly happy.
After a few insincere words, they asked Lu Shian to take Li Hongting to visit the Marquis' Mansion.
They had originally thought that their two daughters would be concubines after they got married, and there would be no sons-in-law coming to visit, so the Marquis' Mansion had not made any preparations. Now that the Prince had suddenly arrived, the kitchen knives in the Marquis' Mansion were about to spark.
There is actually not much to visit in the Marquis' Mansion, except for a back garden with a pond in which lotus flowers are planted.
This pattern is quite popular in Dayuan Country. They are all similar and there is nothing worth seeing.
"Are you not happy that I'm here?"
In the pavilion beside the pond, Lu Shian sat there with her body stretched out straight. Li Hongting felt a little uncomfortable when he saw her like that.
Lu Shian was very restrained in front of him, and this realization made him very uncomfortable.
"I don't dare."
"Haha, I don't dare, not that I don't have it."
"I don't have any." Lu Shian corrected without blushing.
"As for the Japanese lady, can you give me an answer now?"
Lu Shian lowered his head silently.
Li Hongting let out a breath, trying hard to suppress the annoyance in his heart.
"It doesn't matter. You are by my side anyway."
Lu Shian wanted to ask, shouldn’t you go to Qin’s house with Qin Jingzhi? But then he thought, why should he ask, his own affairs are already in a mess.
Lu Shian fell silent again. She had never been like this before.
In the past, she would vent her anger and would never suffer any loss.
But now that she has just married into the Prince's Mansion, she has become a different person.
Li Hongting frowned: "Are you so unwilling to talk to me?"
"I don't have any."
"In my heart, you are not a concubine. You don't need to use this title in the future."
"Yes."
After having dinner at the Marquis' Mansion, everyone in the mansion, including the Marquis, came personally to see the Prince off.
After getting on the carriage, Li Hongting looked at Lu Shian who was sitting there with annoyance.
He let out a sigh of frustration, and suddenly he heard hawking outside, so he immediately stopped the carriage.
"I'll take you out to play."
Lu Shian wanted to say no, but Li Hongting didn't give her a chance and pulled Lu Shian out of the carriage.
The clothes Lu Shian wore today were very complicated, but they were really gorgeous. In addition, she was good-looking to begin with, and she even put on nude makeup this morning because she was in a good mood. Now that she was dragged to the street by Li Hongting, the handsome man and beautiful woman could not help but attract people's attention.
Lu Shian was not in a good mood. She had walked along this street many times, and today she was walking along with someone who made her feel depressed, so she had even less interest. But he was the prince, and he dragged her along to walk along, so she had to accompany him.
At first, Li Hongting excitedly pulled Lu Shian to look at this and that.
But no matter how hard he tried, Lu Shian always had a hypocritical smile on his face, and Li Hongting became discouraged.
"Don't make it hard on yourself. Let's go back to the Prince's Mansion."
Lu Xianchun came back from the Marquis' Mansion and bought food for Zhinian on the street. She didn't see Zhinian yesterday, so she could use the excuse of delivering something to him to meet him later.
When she arrived at the Qin Mansion, she didn't have time to go back to her own courtyard, so she took the candied haws she bought and went to find Zhinian.
She didn't even know where Zhinian lived, so she could only start with Madam Qin.
"Fighting power."
Liu Rulan appeared behind her at some point.
Lu Shian didn't want to quarrel with Liu Rulan, but Liu Rulan just wanted to make trouble for her.
"Lu Xianchun, I asked you to come over here, did you hear me?"
Lu Xianchun quickened his pace and walked towards the Qin Mansion. Liu Rulan was very angry and winked at the servants. The maid immediately understood what Liu Rulan meant.
She trotted up to Lu Xianchun, and the little maid reached out to grab Lu Xianchun's collar.
When Lu Xianchun saw the little maid reaching out to grab her, she slapped her in the face.
"How dare you fight me, who the hell do you think you are?"
The little maid staggered after being hit. Lu Xianchun's eyes were terrifying and his attack was ruthless, which shocked the little maid.
Seeing her maid being beaten, Liu Rulan was furious: "Lu Xianchun, what are you doing?"
"What I do depends on what you do. Do you want to fight?"
"You are so vulgar. You are really from the countryside. Lu Xianchun, let me tell you, from now on, this Qin Mansion will be my housekeeper. You'd better behave yourself, otherwise you will be in trouble."
Lu Xianchun sneered: "Why, do you think my 64 loads of dowry are vegetarian?"
"Very, so what if there are sixty-four people? Once they enter the Qin family, they belong to the Qin family. Since they belong to the Qin family, I will be the manager. Naturally, I will take good care of those things."
Lu Shian's heart trembled, and she had a bad feeling in her heart. She said sternly: "You dare."
Qin Qiubai's voice came from behind her: "Of course she dares, she is the future mistress of the Qin family."
Qin Qiubai looked at Liu Rulan with a smile, then walked past Lu Xianchun without even glancing at him, completely treating Lu Xianchun as a transparent person.
