Marrying into a poor family

Chapter 429

Hua Ye and Qin Sui didn't talk for long. When they came out, it was very lively outside. They were stunned at the door.

Probably because Hua Ye had left, everyone relaxed and gathered around Lu Jiu, chattering and asking questions while holding things that interested them.

Qin Sui finally experienced what it means to be surrounded by flowers.

"Ahem, it's so lively!" Suddenly, a woman's voice was heard from the stairs. The voice was not loud, but it drowned out the chattering of all the women.

Everyone looked in the direction of the voice and were shocked because the person coming was actually Princess Yaoxiang.

Qin Cui was also surprised. Princess Yaoxiang seldom went out, let alone suddenly coming to the Qixiangxiang Shop.

Her eyes swept over Lu Jiu, and she immediately understood why Princess Yaoxiang came here. It seemed that Princess Yaoxiang had fallen in love with Lu Jiu.

Yao Xiang had a faint smile on her face, but there was no smile in her eyes, and her innate noble and intimidating aura was clearly revealed.

Lu Jiu was just introducing a string of beads. He held one end in his hand, and the other end was in the hand of a young woman, whose cheeks still had a smile and blush. If there weren't so many people around, it would be easier for people to have wild thoughts.

Yao Xiang glanced at the string of beads with a half-smile, then glanced at Lu Jiu who had not yet come to his senses, and directly looked at Qin Sui who was walking towards her.

"I was out for a walk today, and when I passed by, I saw your carriage, so I wanted to come sit in it, but I didn't expect your place to be so lively."

Come if you want, this is a perfume shop, who can't come? But who is she? She is Princess Yaoxiang, why bother to explain.

A smile appeared in Qin Cui's eyes. As a woman, she naturally understood Yao Xiang's thoughts. This explanation was not really meant for her.

Before Qin Cui arrived, Lu Jiu finally reacted. He understood women better and naturally realized that Yao Xiang came for him.

He arrived in the capital yesterday and came to the incense shop today to get some valuables to go to the Ninth Prince's Mansion to see Yaoxiang and the children. However, because he was worried that Qin Cui would be bullied, he sent someone to deliver the things to the palace first, and said that he would go there after he finished dealing with things here.

Who knew that Princess Yaoxiang would come in person.

So, Lu Jiu put down the beads, strode towards Yao Xiang, and stood in front of Yao Xiang, his eyes shining with joy. He softened his voice unconsciously, and his attitude became more sincere than before. He asked Yao Xiang: "Why are you here?"

The tone was very casual, yet also very intimate.

In this way, apart from Qin Sui, only Lu Xiangyin knew something, and the rest of them looked at Lu Jiu as if he were a fool.

Yaoxiang would take the men she liked to Qifengshan Villa to spend the night. This was something that the wealthy families in Beijing discussed privately.

Could it be that this Lu Jiu is also Yao Xiang's lover?

Seeing that Lu Jiu was not avoiding suspicion, Princess Yaoxiang's discomfort in her heart dissipated a little, and she just repeated what she had just said to Qin Sui.

To outsiders, the conversation between these two people is nonsense, but the parties involved don't seem to think so.

Just as Lu Jiu was about to ask whether the gifts he had sent to Yaoxiang and the child had been received, Qin Cui had already walked to their side, stood three steps away, and saluted to Yaoxiang.

The ladies behind him seemed to have just come to their senses and began to greet Yao Xiang.

Yao Xiang dealt with everyone very appropriately, and then looked at Princess Huaye who was standing aside with her lips pursed and silent.

"Huaye, what are you doing hiding there? Why don't you come over and talk?" Yaoxiang raised her lips and asked Huaye affectionately, with a smile on her face. Don't hit someone who smiles, and besides, the other party is Princess Yaoxiang. In terms of status, Yaoxiang is higher than Huaye. After all, Yaoxiang has the same surname as the current emperor, while Huaye is not a member of the royal family.

Hua Ye had no choice but to step forward and bow to Princess Yaoxiang first. However, the smiling Yaoxiang actually waited until she had completed the bow before stepping forward and holding her hand, saying that they were blood relatives, so why should they be so polite?

It is true that there is some blood connection between them, but the blood connection between them is so thin that it is better not to mention it.

Moreover, to the indifferent Yaoxiang, this kind of initiative to come to a fragrance shop and behave in such an uncharacteristic way was a bit puzzling.

The unknown is what makes people most suspicious and afraid.

Yaoxiang pulled Huaye to sit in the front seat, and asked everyone to sit down and not to be so restrained.

Then, she looked at Qin Su and said, "All the ladies are honored guests. Just take out your treasured things. Don't be stingy or mean."

After saying that, he glanced at Lu Jiu who turned around and whispered to Lu Xiangyin.

Princess Huaye seemed to have discovered Yaoxiang's "secret" and was overjoyed. She hurriedly moved closer to Yaoxiang and covered half of her face with a fan, but her eyes kept rolling around.

"Sister, look, this Ludong family is pretty good, sister seems to have some feelings for him?"

Yaoxiang had a bad reputation in terms of women's virtues, but few people said it to her face. Only spoiled children like Huaye, who was currently feeling depressed, took the opportunity to vent their anger. So, although she pretended to be whispering to each other like sisters, her voice was actually quite loud and everyone in the room heard it.

Everyone pretended to look at what they had in their hands, but their ears perked up.

When the two princesses were "fighting", they didn't dare to intervene, let alone get involved.

"Oh, why do you say that, Huaye?" Yaoxiang raised her eyebrows and asked Huaye curiously.

"There's no need to explain this kind of thing. Anyone with eyes can see it." Hua Ye smiled with her eyes curved. She thought to herself that she would tell Du Ziren about this when she got back.

Don't think that Hua Ye doesn't know that the rumors that Yao Xiang's adopted son is actually her biological son and his father is Du Ziren may not be groundless.

If Du Ziren knew that Yaoxiang was dating a businessman again, how could he still pretend to be calm and composed?
"What did you see?" Although she knew the answer, Yao Xiang still insisted on asking, "Did you see anything too? Tell me about it, so I can learn more!"

No one knew how the anger had reached them, and they all looked at each other, not knowing what to say so as not to offend these two difficult women.

Lu Jiu brought the tea and walked to Yao Xiang. He did not put the teacup on the table next to him, but handed it to Yao Xiang. He smiled and said in a low voice: "Okay, don't scare my guests. They are distinguished guests who come to buy things!"

Yao Xiang took the tea and took a sip in front of everyone, then said, "Did I send someone to deliver this tea?"

Lu Jiu couldn't help laughing and said, "I just came back, how would I know who sent it?"

Qin Cui took over the conversation and said that it was the tea sent by Princess Yaoxiang and was placed in the store specifically for receiving distinguished guests.

It turns out that the previous statement that the tea was good and was sent from the Ninth Prince's Palace was not nonsense.

Huaye said the tea was not good in order to embarrass Qin Sui. Now he felt a little embarrassed.

Fortunately, Qin Cui did not mention what happened before when Hua Ye smashed the cup and said that this tea was not suitable for human consumption. Otherwise, Yao Xiang would probably embarrass her.
