Chapter 316: The Prince's Favorite
"You know I didn't mean that. Later, I finally got news about you from the Dali Temple. My mother..."
"She was lying in bed and was seriously ill. I, I couldn't disobey her..."
Yu Xiuying smiled: "It's very serious. She must be angry with me. That's why she doesn't want you to come to us."
"My mother has a very strong temper, but I will let you go back after she calms down."
"No, we live well here."
"Okay, then you can stay here first. If you need anything, send someone to tell me."
"No need, we have everything here."
Yu Xiuying's words were harsh, leaving Lu Jingxun at a loss for words, and the two fell into silence again.
"Since there is nothing else, please go back, Prince."
"You must let Shi'an go to enjoy the plum blossoms in the snow."
"I have asked carefully. Walking in the snow to admire the plum blossoms is just an excuse. The eldest princess's son is now of marriageable age. This time, I am afraid she is looking for a princess for her son."
"I, Shi'an, don't care about any prince. We won't join in the fun."
"Xiuying, Shian must go."
"My daughter has no intention of getting married, let alone marrying into a family like this. What is she going to do? What do you think she is going to do?"
"The child is still young and naive. As a mother, you must not be foolish. Whether she gets married or not is another matter. Letting her go out and see the world is one thing, but on the other hand, she is the daughter of my mansion after all, and she can't just get married casually in the future.
I'll tell you the truth, my mother is already choosing a husband for her. Do I need to say more about what kind of person my mother is? Do you think she will consider whether Shi'an is happy or not? She will only use Shi'an as a pawn to win people's hearts. "
Yu Xiuying was shocked when she heard this: "How could she do this? This is my daughter, how dare she do this?"
"She is the mistress of the Marquis's Mansion and Shi'an's grandmother. Shi'an calls her grandma, so of course she can help Shi'an find a wife."
Yu Xiuying slammed the table hard. Seeing her like this, Lu Jingxun persuaded her kindly, "I dare not think about the Princess's Mansion. I just hope Shi'an can meet someone he likes. Then I will persuade my mother to help Shi'an."
When Lu Jingxun came out of Lu's house, the snow had already reached his calves. The snow was incredibly heavy.
In Nanxing's alchemy room, Lu Shian and his sister, Nanxing, and Shen Cuo sat together.
Nan Xing held the four strips in his hand and glanced at the other three people: "Four strips!"
Shen Cuo looked at the mahjong in his hand. It was a single hanging four-straight. This was exactly the hand he won. He was about to speak when Lu Shian, who was sitting below him, cheered: "Hahaha, I won, hahaha, Nanxing, you hit the jackpot again, hahaha..."
"Lu Shian, you are going too far. How could you be so foolish?"
"Hey, yeah, how can I win? Why did you play this card then? Hahaha, light the gun, hurry up and pay the money, quick."
Nan Xing pointed at Shen Cuo angrily: "Humph, Shen Cuo, what's wrong with you? You eat what you feed, do you know how to fight?"
Shen Cuo shrugged and said nothing.
Lu Shian was so proud that she won the most today: "That's called playing cards well, hehe, stop talking nonsense and pay the money."
Nan Xing reluctantly took out five coins and threw them into Lu Shian's hand: "I want to change places with you. Shen Cuo keeps feeding you cards. Even a pig can win under Shen Cuo."
"Hey, let's change. I'm going to empty your wallet today."
Shitou came in with a food box. It had snowed outside all day and the snow was already above the knees. "Miss Shi'an, I've brought you the food you requested."
Hearing that food was brought, Nan Xing and Lu Shian stood up excitedly: "Let's go, let's eat hot pot."
We were eating hot pot in the house, and the snow was falling outside...
It was very late when the four of them finally dispersed. Lu Shian and his sister were about to go back to their room to sleep, but were told by Nanny Zhang that Yu Xiuying was looking for them.
In Yu Xiuying's room, she told them about Lu Jingxun's visit today. After listening to what Yu Xiuying said, Lu Shian snorted coldly.
"If it weren't for this princess sending an invitation, he probably wouldn't have come."
Lu Xianchun was much calmer: "Alright, don't blame Dad. Dad's life in the Marquis' Mansion was not as glorious as it seemed. I don't know if he can be a prince now that he is..."
She had seen the tone of voices used by the servants when they talked about Lu Jingxun, and that was definitely not respectful.
Hearing Lu Xianchun say this, Yu Xiuying also sighed: "Since the invitation has been delivered, Shian, you should go there."
Lu Shian quickly shook his head: "I won't go. I can't go to the things they play."
Those young ladies were just showing off their skills, such as playing the piano, chess, calligraphy and painting. She didn't like watching that.
"Go ahead and broaden your horizons. It's boring to stay at home all the time," Yu Xiuying advised.
Lu Xianchun glanced at his mother and followed suit: "Why don't you go and take a look."
"Hey." She took the gold-embossed invitation and said, "Okay, I'll go over and take a look."
The Second Prince's Mansion.
Li Hongting looked at the snow-covered world outside, with obvious displeasure on his face.
Cheng An touched Yongchang's arm and motioned him to look at his master.
Yongchang didn't dare to look, he just lowered his head even more.
Cheng An said in a voice that he thought only the two of them could hear: "Look at what you have done."
Yongchang also felt aggrieved: "How can you blame me for this? It was Miss Shian who didn't come. What can I do?"
"Then you shouldn't have said it in the first place."
"Then I am also doing this for the master's good."
"How is the master now?"
"go……"
Li Hongting, who was sitting in front of the window, became even more annoyed as he listened to their conversation.
He frowned and whispered, "Get out."
The two of them ran out in a flash.
"Hey, it seems that the master is serious about Miss Shi'an."
"You're not the one who should tell me that. Otherwise, why would the master always take her to the Queen Mother's place? It's just that Miss Shi'an is really stupid. Our master has given her a fox fur coat, but she didn't show any appreciation at all. She really doesn't know the rules."
The two stood in the corridor and whispered. The housekeeper passed by them and asked: "Why don't you stay in the room?"
Yongchang didn't dare to say that he was driven out by his master: "It's the housekeeper, hey, the air outside is good, let's breathe some fresh air, hehe!"
Cheng An followed up and agreed: "Ah, yes, that's what it is, breathe some fresh air. Hey, what is this, housekeeper?"
Cheng An pointed at what the people behind the butler were carrying.
The housekeeper replied, "It was the food sent by Miss Shi'an of the Lu family. She said she really liked the fox fur coat given to her by the Second Prince, so she also sent something that the Second Prince liked in return."
Their eyes lit up immediately: "The Second Prince likes it..."
When the housekeeper saw the two wanted to look, he quickly interrupted them: "Hey, how dare you look at the master's things?"
