C20 Unsolicited Solicitude

But after leaving the Changming Palace for half an hour, Imperial Noble Consort Xie had changed into an ice blue Eight Treasures Water Dress.

Imperial Noble Consort Xie's hand froze as he put down the teacup made from blue crane porcelain and gently smiled at her. "Child, why are you being so courteous with your aunt? Quickly sit down and drink a cup of hot tea!"

The palace maids on both sides saw that Qingning did not have any intentions to move, exchanged glances, and started pouring tea one after another. "Second Miss, do not be afraid, just step forward!"

Qingning narrowed her phoenix eyes, walked forward naturally and took a seat.

Imperial Noble Consort Xie indicated for the servant to pass the tea cup to her and asked in a caring tone: "You must have been frightened quite badly today, right?"

When the original owner had been bullied, the Imperial Noble Consort Xie had ignored it. Today, she almost angered the dragon in her hall, but she did not protect him at all.

Afterwards, he came to ask how she felt and what she was singing about.

"I'm fine!"

Qingning replied with care, and after receiving the cup of tea, he quickly checked it with the Invisible Bracelet.

It wasn't poisoned, so she gently touched the rim of the cup and put it down.

In the past, Lu Qingning's foolish name spread throughout the entire Yongan City, so the Imperial Noble Consort Xie must have definitely heard of it.

Unfortunately, this time was not like the past. She was neither humble nor haughty as she sat there, without the slightest intention of pretending or concealing anything. Her face had an expression that said "whatever you want, I'll accompany you".

The Imperial Noble Consort Xie lowered his head, gently stroking Lanque's fingertips, and said seemingly unintentionally: "Being alone will only lead to fire, the daughter of the Shangguan family should do her best."

The corner of Qingning's mouth raised into a cold arc, and he immediately got up and said: "I got it!"

After she finished speaking, without waiting for the Imperial Noble Consort Xie to speak, she had already walked out of the door with quick steps.

The people from the two sides of the palace suddenly reached out to stop her, and the Imperial Noble Consort Xie in the hall said faintly: "The snowy sky is slippery, be careful on your way!"

"You have to be careful, lady!"

With that said, Qingning ran past the two palace maids.

His hair fluttered in the air and his clothes fluttered in the wind. It was the same color as the snow falling from the vast sky, and he appeared to have transcended the mortal world.

Only after Qingning had gone far away did the Blue Robed Palace's maid open her mouth hesitantly, "It doesn't look like it ? "It's totally different from what the rumors say!"

The Imperial Noble Consort Xie waved his hands and ordered everyone to throw away the tea cup that Qingning had used before, and the gentle smile on his face slowly faded.

The snow had just stopped, and the streets were filled with people happily kowtowing to the gods.

Qingning closed the curtain, and just as he got off the horse carriage that was escorting her back to the palace, he saw Zhinuan, whose cheeks were red from the cold, rushing over to hug her.

He looked around a few times before sobbing, "The elders all say that the palace is a place that eats people. Miss, it's really great that you can come back!"

"What nonsense is this!" Lu Lianghua scolded with a dark face, but he was not angry.

He only signalled to the Shangguan Family to pass the silver to the eunuch who accompanied Qingning back, and cupped his hands: "I'll be troubling Eunuch Wang!"

Eunuch Wang received the banknotes in a very proficient manner. She smiled at him and said, "Minister Lu sure is lucky. Even the daughter of your family is appreciated by the Imperial Family like this!"

"Not at all!" The two chatted for awhile, until Qingning finally asked about it and the atmosphere became tense.

Stepping into the sect, the guards at the gate all bowed and greeted him, "Greetings old master, Second Miss is good!"

Zhinuan was shocked, he opened his eyes wide and looked at them a few times.

However, Qingning acted as if he did not see it, and walked in with a normal expression.

Even when "she" first came to the Lu's Mansion, Lu Lianghua had not personally stood at the manor's entrance to welcome her. Now, he let these servants and servants put on airs, he just wanted to say that he treated his two daughters the same, and had never been biased against them before?

The snow on the small path in the garden had already been cleaned up. Lu Lianghua walked together with her, but seeing that she did not have any intentions of opening her mouth, his face could not help but turn darker.

Zhinuan had wanted to pull on Qingning's sleeves a few times to remind her to talk to the old master, but because her steps were too slow, her face had turned red from anxiety.

Until he arrived in front of the "Qingxin Pavilion" courtyard, he could see from afar that Lady Lin had ordered this, that broken thing in the courtyard, to come out.

Qingning's gaze turned cold and he quickened his pace: "Second Mother, what are you doing?"

"Second Miss is back!" Lady Lin turned around, his face full of affection, as if he had seen his beloved daughter who had returned from a long journey.

"All the things in your yard are old. Mother really feels sad looking at them. Today, I'll give you all my money and exchange it for new ones!"

"Are you really going to pay for it?"

Looking at Lady Lin's face, she felt her stomach churning.

The mother and daughter duo were still singing the same tune, wanting to put her to death. Today, they were eagerly expressing their good will. As expected, she didn't understand the thoughts of ancient women.

Only the phrase "solicitous without reason, deceitful or stolen" fits the situation.

The moment the words came out, Lu Lianghua was already in front of him. Looking at the pile of trash, he almost turned hostile on the spot, "A dignified daughter, if she used such a thing and got out, wouldn't she be laughed at?!"

Lu Mengyan saw that she was about to let go, and immediately replied with a smile: "Of course it's true! Father has already allowed it, why would Mother treat you badly! "

Does this mean that the reason why she was treated so harshly was because of Lu Lianghua?

To think that this little favor wanted to erase everything that had happened before, it truly was shameless.

Qingning's gaze swept across Lu Lianghua who was trying his best to suppress his displeasure, and asked indifferently: "Then why aren't my courtyard being exchanged like this?"
