The step-brother is charming and soft, and the Marquis can't help but flirt with her

Chapter 30 Chrysanthemum Appreciation Invitation, Romance

"I'm not doubting her." Lu Xingyue said firmly, "She's not that kind of person."

"Does that mean you suspect that the eldest master wants to poach you?" Zhou Quan touched his chin, "The eldest master's attitude towards the wife is indeed somewhat different, but that doesn't mean we can't conclude that he is unkind, right? Isn't he so gentle to other people? "

"That's why I asked you to check."

Lu Xingyue's face was covered with frost, "Look into this matter more carefully. If the fourth person finds out -"

The words are not finished but the meaning has been reached.

Zhou Quan was excited and straightened his back immediately, "I understand, my master, don't worry!"

Lu Xingyue waved his hand and went out.

Lu Xingyue was the only one left in the huge study room. He was sitting behind the desk, picking up a pen and trying to practice calligraphy. Shen Lansui's Bu Yao could not help but flash through his mind.

Then he thought of Lu Mingchao's outstretched hand.

He lowered his eyes and put down the pen a little heavier.

……

Shen Lansui went to the small kitchen for a walk. After meeting the cook and eating a few snacks, she returned to the bedroom with satisfaction. As soon as she reached the door, she was stopped by someone.

"Sister-in-law three!"

Shen Lansui looked back in surprise, "Jing Zhi?"

"Surprised to see me?"

Lu Jingzhi came quickly with two maids, holding two pieces of advice in his hands.

Her bright yellow clothes make her pretty and charming, and she looks quite beautiful when she smiles, like a stray butterfly.

Shen Lansui had a good impression of her and said with a smile: "I am indeed surprised, but even more happy. Come in and sit. Watch the spring and serve tea."

"Yes." Guanchun hurried away.

Shen Lansui and Lu Jingzhi sat down on the couch. Lu Jingzhi didn't show off, handed her an invitation and said, "This was sent by someone from the princess's residence just now. My brothers have all received it. Yours is It’s at my place, and I’ll bring it to you on the way.”

"Princess Mansion? Which princess?"

Shen Lansui took the invitation and first smelled a faint fragrance of chrysanthemum.

"It's Princess Rong Zhao."

Lu Jingzhi said excitedly: "Princess Rong Zhao is the apple of His Majesty's and the Queen's eyes. She is dignified, beautiful, and unparalleled in grace. She is recognized as the most beautiful woman in Yangdu. However, she has a somewhat arrogant temperament and rarely makes friends with anyone. This time It’s really strange to suddenly have a chrysanthemum appreciation banquet.”

Shen Lan suddenly became interested and asked, "How can you be so arrogant?"

"This - I'm not very sure. You can ask Third Brother or Zhou Quan. Third Brother often goes to the palace. He knows all the masters in the palace. Zhou Quan follows him, so he knows a little bit about them."

Lu Jingzhi suddenly came closer and asked in a low voice, "How are you and third brother? Will he go?"

"I'll ask him when he comes back." Shen Lan smiled, "You're not afraid of him."

"There's nothing to be afraid of. I don't believe in the idea of ​​being able to control one's wife or not. I'm estranged from him just because I don't want to be embarrassed in the middle." As she said this, she winked at Shen Lansui, "How is third brother treating you?"

Shen Lansui imitated her and blinked, "What about you? Is he nice to you?"

Lu Jingzhi retreated in disgust, "Are you trying to trick me?"

Shen Lansui innocently spread his hands, "This is called exchange."

Lu Jingzhi looked at her accusingly for a while, then said helplessly, "Okay. Actually, there's nothing that can't be said."

Guan Chun came in to serve tea. Lu Jingzhi took a sip and looked out the window, lost in thought.

"My third brother wasn't like this when I was very young. He was very kind to me and didn't like to talk much, but he always responded to my requests. He agreed to whatever I wanted and even bought me candy."

"But I don't know when that day started. Everything changed. He was more silent than before. I didn't see him again for a long time. Then when he showed up again, it was like he was a different person. He was no longer close to me, and he was no longer close to me. When I get close to my parents again, I ask my eldest brother, but he doesn’t know. I ask my mother, and she tells me to stay away from my third brother..."

Lu Jingzhi sighed, his eyes dimmed when he turned around.Something flashed through Shen Lansui's mind quickly, but she didn't catch it.

"Did Xu encounter something that he never mentioned to anyone else? Has the Duke's attitude towards him changed?"

"Father has always been very kind to him. If the third brother trusts anyone the most in this house, it must be his father."

Shen Lansui nodded, "I'll ask when I get the chance."

The two of them chatted some more, before Lu Jingzhi left with unfinished business.

Shang Xia said curiously: "Madam and young lady actually get along very well."

"It's not surprising." Shen Lansui fiddled with the petals of the pink chrysanthemum placed by the window with her fingertips, and said softly: "We are the only two of the same age in the house. It is not convenient for her to talk to her brother, eldest lady, and the others when she usually has something to say. It must be the same. I’ve been holding it back so much, now that I’m here, she’s naturally close to me.”

Shang Xia smiled: "Yes, but this is good. I thought her temperament would be like that of the eldest lady, but I didn't expect her to be quite transparent."

Shen Lansui nodded, "Is Zhou Quan in the study?"

"Slave to ask."

"If he is free, let him come over." Shen Lansui said.

"Yes."

……

"Ma'am, are you looking for a subordinate?" Zhou Quan came very quickly, standing a few steps away and asking with his head down.

He almost reported to the Jinyi Guards.

Shen Lansui waved his hand to reject the others, smiled and said, "Don't be nervous, I called you here to ask you something, and it has nothing to do with Saburo."

When he heard that it had nothing to do with Lu Xingyue, Zhou Quan immediately put his heart back in his stomach, patted his chest and assured, "Madam, just ask, I will definitely tell you everything!"

"I was just a concubine before I got married. I don't have much chance to go out. I don't know much about the noble girls of Yangdu. How much do you know about Princess Rong Zhao?"

As soon as Shen Lansui finished asking, Zhou Quan's expression changed.

She turned around in confusion, "What's wrong?"

Zhou Quan's expression was complicated and he said awkwardly: "Madam just now said she wouldn't ask about anything related to the master."

Shen Lansui was stunned: "Ah?"

Seeing her reaction, Zhou Quan reacted suddenly, "Madam, you don't know?!"

Shen Lansui asked softly: "Should I know?"

comprehensive:"……"

Shen Lansui: "..."

The two looked at each other for a long time, then Zhou Quan smiled and said, "Why did Madam ask about Princess Rong Zhao?"

Shen Lansui picked up the gilded invitation on the mahogany table and waved it in front of Zhou Quan, "I received the invitation and I just asked out of curiosity, but now -" She smiled at Zhou Quan, "I want to know even more, What is her relationship with your young master?"

Zhou Quan's vision went dark, and he felt that the door of Jinyiwei's prison was slowly opening towards him.

He rubbed his hands, hesitated for a while and then said honestly: "Actually, it's not a big deal. Princess Rong Zhao is the legitimate princess. She is very favored by His Majesty and the Queen. He takes her with him wherever he goes. He also took her with him last time in Qiu Lie, so the assassin She was by His Majesty's side when he came. At that time, the assassin's arrow was shot at His Majesty, and the princess wanted to block it by herself. At the critical moment, the master jumped up, caught the arrow with his bare hands, and killed the assassin who sneaked up with a knife. "

"Who doesn't love a hero? The princess is no exception. She has been obsessed with her master since then."

Zhou Quan carefully looked at Shen Lansui's expression and quickly said, "Of course, the master has no idea about the princess."

"Is that so..." Shen Lansui said thoughtfully, "Is the princess beautiful?"

　I sat on the toilet and wanted to take a look at the data. Suddenly I remembered that I forgot to set the time. My memory is so bad that I didn’t have time to check for typos. I’ll talk about it when I wake up tomorrow. Let’s take a look first.
