Halfway through the banquet, both Qin Liangwan and Lu Ruojiang coincidentally chose to step outside for some fresh air. Remembering that Qin Liangwan had mentioned making a swing chair herself, Lu Ruojiang consciously sought it out and unexpectedly, yet predictably, found Qin Liangwan playing on the swing. "Feeling stuffy inside?" Lu Ruojiang walked over and asked with a smile.
"Yes, aren't you as well?" Qin Liangwan shifted to the side, making room for Lu Ruojiang. Lu Ruojiang sat beside her, reaching out and pulling Qin Liangwan into a hug. "What's wrong? Who made you unhappy?" This was Qin Liangwan's first time attending this kind of gathering, and based on her personality, she shouldn't have left halfway through. Lu Ruojiang was also prepared not to be alone with Qin Liangwan.
Moreover, just now, Qin Liangwan's slightly desolate expression was also seen by Lu Ruojiang, so naturally he could guess why. Qin Liangwan echoed Liu Di and Fangxin's mockery of herself, then looked at Lu Ruojiang and said, "I am not at all like a noblewoman, am I?" "But they are not as clever, bold, and strategic as you," Lu Ruojiang did not simply comfort Qin Liangwan, because they both knew that Qin Liangwan, lacking fourteen years of education and having her reputation tarnished by the Zhu family, truly did not appear respectable in the eyes of others.
"Also, why do you care about what others do? You only need to care about the opinions of those who matter to you."
Qin Liangwan rested on Lu Ruojiang's arm, "If I become your spouse in the future..."
"Do as you please, there's no need for formalities."
"Do you not fear being ridiculed for marrying a crude and uncouth new bride?"
"Let those foolish people laugh as they please. There will always be discerning individuals like me who can see your virtues, Liangwan."
Pinching Lu Ruojiang's cheek, Qin Liangwan chuckled, "How are you so good at sweet-talking?"
"Because it's you, you can understand without a teacher."
*
the Qin family Three days after the Qin family's housewarming banquet, Liu Di and Fangxin didn't know which god they had offended, as everything was going wrong for them recently. They encountered troubles whenever they went out, and even at home, they faced constant small misfortunes.
If it weren't for Lu Ruojiang to stop in time, they would have had to invite the big shot.
Lu Ruojiang didn't want to lower herself to the level of two little girls, so she just gave them a small punishment as a warning. It's just that they were timid and scared themselves quite a bit.
"It's the birthday banquet of Crown Prince and Princess Fusheng," Cong Nan said.
Lu Ruojiang glanced over, not very eager to go. Queen Yi Yang's personality was hard to describe; she often flaunted her authority due to her seniority. As the legitimate son of the Prince of Zheng, Lu Ruojiang was someone she dared not provoke, yet her condescending demeanor was quite nauseating to behold.
Seeing that Lu Ruojiang was uninterested, Cong Nan added, "I heard that the Fourth Lady and the Third Miss also received invitations."
"Liangwan and her cousin sister?"
"Yes."
"The Qin Mansion and the Eiyang Prince's Mansion have never had any dealings. Why did they think to invite them?"
Cong Nan smiled and said, "Crown Prince, you forgot that on the Lantern Festival, you and Fourth Lady passed by Tianjia Restaurant, where there happened to be a girl who fell into the water. You even watched the commotion with Fourth Lady for a while."
"And that girl who fell into the water was Princess Fusheng. She is infatuated with General Lin Boowen and, upon learning that he would be passing by the bridge that day, deliberately fell into the water to get him to rescue her."
Lu Ruojiang was so absorbed in watching Qin Liangwan that he had no room for anyone else in his eyes.
Not to mention a woman falling into the water, it would be impolite for a man to stare directly, so Lu Ruojiang had no idea that it was Princess Fusheng who fell into the water.
"Liangwan kicked someone into the water at that time... She must be holding a grudge against Liangwan," Lu Ruojiang realized. "Well, let's go take a look. There's no need to bring anything valuable, just a set of writing materials, so she can read more and cultivate her character."
"Yes."
