Marrying into a poor family

Qin Xi asked directly about the tribute.

Princess Yaoxiang smiled lightly and said, "Don't be anxious, this will ensure your success."

After hearing this, it was a reassurance that Qin Xiang was finally satisfied.

When leaving, Lu Jiu was stopped by Princess Yaoxiang. Lu Jiu's face was a little stiff, and he turned to look at Princess Yaoxiang. Qin Xiang and Xiao Chenyu who were walking in front also stopped and looked at Lu Jiu and Princess Yaoxiang. host.

Princess Yaoxiang said to Qin Xiang and Xiao Chenyu: "I have something to ask Mr. Lu. You go pack your things first and meet at the gate of the villa later."

Qin Xiang and Xiao Chenyu did not agree immediately. Instead, they looked at Lu Jiu first and asked with worried eyes.

Lu Jiu was moved in her heart, knowing that whenever she showed resistance, Xiao Chenyu and Qin Xiang would definitely help him regardless of Princess Yaoxiang's pressure.

However, he would not let them take risks for himself, so he showed them a relaxed and cheerful smile and said: "Sister, brother-in-law, you don't have to worry about me, go ahead, we will meet at the gate of the villa later!"

Xiao Chenyu looked deeply at Lu Jiu, exchanged glances with Lu Jiu, and then pulled Qin Xiang away.

Leaving the courtyard where Princess Yaoxiang lived, Xiao Chenyu and Qin Xi couldn't communicate because they were led by servants from Qifeng Mountain Villa.

In order to prevent them from straying or getting lost, the people from Qifeng Mountain Villa accompanied them almost the whole time until they left the Villa and got on the carriage outside the gate, waiting by the side regardless of the cold weather.

Lu Jiu didn't come out for a long time, and both Qin Xiang and Xiao Chenyu were a little worried.

No matter how stupid they are, they understand that this time Qifeng Mountain Villa and his party, Yaoxiang County’s idea is Lu Jiu, and they are purely covering up.

Xiao Chenyu asked Qin Xiang in a low voice: "Did Princess Yaoxiang like Lu Jiu? But Lu Jiu has a wife, but Princess Yaoxiang didn't ask about it? Or does she want Lu Jiu to give up his wife and marry another one? Or, with Lu Jiu, Just a casual marriage?"

Qin Xiang didn't speak, she was deep in thought, and suddenly remembered something.

Shortly before her death in her previous life, she accidentally overheard two guests talking about royal secrets.

At that time, Qin Xiang was not interested in anything else, but because it involved Princess Yaoxiang, whom she had a close relationship with, she finally listened to it, but she really didn't take it seriously.

At that time, two guests once said that Princess Yaoxiang’s private life was extremely chaotic, but this had not been reported before. Later, Princess Yaoxiang suddenly adopted a baby boy, saying that she was raising her as a son and that he would inherit the Nine Princes’ Mansion in the future. everything.

However, there were rumors outside that this baby boy was not adopted by Princess Yaoxiang at all, but was actually her biological son. As for his father, it is said that he is Du Ziren, the second son of the current Prime Minister's Palace.

Princess Yaoxiang's fiancé was Du Ziren's eldest brother and the eldest grandson of the Du family. He grew up with everyone's hope and careful cultivation. Unfortunately, he died young when he just reached adulthood.

When the eldest grandson of the Du family passed away, Du Ziren was only seven years old, an age when he could go up trees to pick out birds and go down trees to fetch cats and dogs.

He didn't quite understand what it meant when his eldest brother passed away. He only knew that the family was in a miserable state. After the funeral, he was taken to his side by his grandfather to educate him personally. Only then did he realize how miserable his eldest brother's daily life was. easy.

"Du Ziren!" Qin Xiang looked out the window and recited this name silently in her heart. Even if she recited it silently in her heart, it was heartbreaking and painful. Also, so angry!

Then I heard Xiao Chenyu still talking: "Tsk, tsk, tsk, Lu Jiu is so good-looking, he really takes advantage of her, even the superior Princess Yaoxiang is tempted."

Xiao Chenyu's words interrupted Qin Xiang's thinking. She turned to look at Xiao Chenyu, and Xiao Chenyu's words stopped abruptly.

"Are you envious? Do you really want such an affair?" Qin Xiang calmed down her thoughts and asked Xiao Chenyu with a half-smile.

Xiao Chenyu trembled and said with a smile: "How dare I think so, absolutely not." "Haha, it's because I don't dare, not because I don't want to, right?" Qin Xiang looked at Xiao Chenyu in front of her and thought to herself, what a man's bad nature. , there really are all of them.

"I don't want to, absolutely don't want to!" Xiao Chenyu promised with a serious face.

Seeing Qin Xiang looking at him in disbelief, Xiao Chenyu hurriedly moved over and teased Qin Xiang's waist with his hands and feet. Qin Xiang couldn't bear the itch, so she couldn't help laughing, and slapped Xiao Chenyu's hand with her hand.

While the two were laughing and joking, the carriage door curtain opened, and a cold-faced Lu Jiu got in, sat down on the left side, and shouted outside: "Go home!"

Xiao Chenyu hurriedly sat back, and Qin Xi also sat upright. Both of them stared at Lu Jiu with burning eyes. They were very ready. Please tell me what happened.

Lu Jiu glared at the two of them angrily: "Why are you two looking at me like this? Am I a monkey?"

Xiao Chenyu and Qin Xiang both shook their heads, their attitudes extremely sincere.

Just as Lu Jiu's expression softened, Xiao Chenyu moved his hips, sat next to him, put his arm around Lu Jiu's shoulders, and asked very curiously: "Of course you are not a monkey, but we really want to know what happened between you and that person. ?”

"That person? Who?" After Lu Jiu blurted out, he instantly understood that they were talking about Princess Yaoxiang.

Suddenly, his face became a little uglier.

He didn't want to talk about his embarrassment, so he moved his face away, slapped Xiao Chenyu's hand away, and said, "I don't know what nonsense you are talking about. I'm sleepy and I need to rest for a while."

Xiao Chenyu smiled coquettishly and stopped asking, thinking that Lu Jiu would definitely tell him in private that he would be embarrassed to say such a thing in front of Qin Xiang.

However, Qin Xiang thought more, frowned, and asked Lu Jiu: "Brother Jiu, are you with Princess Yaoxiang?"

Lu Jiu closed his eyes, and his ears turned red. Then the redness spread to his neck and cheeks. His eyes were still closed, but his eyeballs kept turning under his eyelids and his eyelashes were trembling. It was obvious that he was very excited inside.

However, even if he told anyone about such a thing, Lu Jiu would not resist too much, but he just didn't want to tell Qin Xiang.

He couldn't say it and felt ashamed.

This was the first time in Lu Jiu's life that he felt ashamed of matters between men and women.

However, Qin Xi didn't think so much at all. She was worried about other things.

"Princess Yaoxiang's first fiancé is the eldest grandson of the Du family. The head of the Du family is Prime Minister Du, who is extremely powerful today. The Queen Mother is Prime Minister Du's sister."

Listening to Qin Xiang's calm and serious voice, Lu Jiu instantly understood that Qin Xiang was not simply gossiping about his love, but was actually worried about him.

So, Lu Jiu opened her eyes, looked at Qin Xiang with clear eyes, and motioned for her to continue.

Seeing Lu Jiu quickly adjust his condition, Qin Xiang was very satisfied. She was afraid that Lu Jiu couldn't figure it out and fell into feelings he shouldn't have. If that was the case, she would make a decisive decision to keep her distance from him, and she would also draw clear boundaries with him in her family business. .

Not to mention Qin Xiang being cruel, after she was reborn, she was very aware of the consequences of being implicated. The tragedies in her previous life all came from being implicated.

Lu Jiu is a very good partner, and Qin Xiang needs his help, but if he becomes confused, that's a different story.
