Chapter 201 Running Dog
Xie Ningxin's words made Lu Hanting's lips curl slightly.
A soft snort escaped his throat.
"Miss Xie, if you have a mental illness, you should get it treated as soon as possible!"
Xie Ningxin looked up in astonishment.
But she saw his sharp eyes staring at her, devoid of any tenderness.
"you……"
Suppressing her grievances, Xie Ningxin ran out of the Marquis's residence in embarrassment.
"Girl, girl..."
The maid following behind quickly caught up.
Ru Feng, standing to the side, covered his eyes, unable to look directly at her.
He never expected that the Xie family's daughter would be so bold, and she seemed quite confident as well.
She even dared to express her feelings to someone like the Crown Prince.
"What are you laughing at?"
Seeing that Ru Feng was holding back his anger, Lu Hanting's handsome face immediately darkened.
"No, I wasn't laughing at anything."
"go back!"
Lu Hanting was originally going to Qiu Xinyuan.
Now disgusted by Xie Ningxin's actions, I immediately lost my mood.
The news of Xie Ningxin's public confession in the garden spread throughout the Marquis's mansion in less than an hour.
Upon hearing the news, Lingfu rushed to report it to Wu Weiwei.
"Auntie, how could this Xie family girl be so bold? Isn't she ashamed?"
"Hehe, what's there to be ashamed of?"
The reason she dared to do this was because of the support she received from the Xie State Duke's Mansion and the Empress Dowager.
Lingfu responded with an "Oh".
It seems that having a good family background is indeed important.
"But after her display of affection today, I'm afraid she'll never dare to come to our Marquis's residence again, right?"
Wu Weiwei's lips curved slightly upward. "Hehe, I don't know about that."
After all, she didn't know Xie Ningxin that well, and she didn't know if Xie Ningxin could handle it.
But there was one thing she knew: Xie Ningxin's persistence.
If this plan fails, another one will likely be devised.
Qiu Xinyuan.
He Yuyan waited until the hour of Xu (7-9 PM) but the prince still did not arrive.
But then Dingxiang brought news.
"Miss, can you guess why the young master hasn't come today?"
"Why?"
He Yuyan couldn't quite put her finger on whether she felt disappointed or something else; she just felt a dull, uncomfortable feeling.
The young master went to Wu Weiwei's place as soon as he returned last night, but she hasn't heard of him going to Biyunting today.
Does that mean he's given up on me?
Seeing his daughter's disappointment.
Dingxiang chuckled and said, "Miss, there's actually a reason why the young master didn't come today!"
So she told him what she had found out about Xie Ningxin confessing her feelings to the prince in the garden.
"You mean Xie Ningxin is asking the Crown Prince to marry her?"
He Yuyan was stunned.
How can there be such a shameless woman in the world?
Publicly confessing her love and asking a man to marry her?
"The results of it?"
Dingxiang smiled as she looked at her master.
"Miss, do you think the prince is a junk collector?"
With Xie Ningxin's personality and appearance, how could the young master possibly find her attractive?
Hearing that Xie Ningxin had been rejected, He Yuyan breathed a sigh of relief.
Although she had previously thought that the young master looked down on Xie Ningxin, Xie Ningxin was backed by the Duke of Xie's mansion and had the Empress Dowager supporting her.
If she really wanted to marry into the Marquis of Dingguo's family, it wasn't impossible.
I have to say He Yuyan is right.
That's how it was in my past life.
Xie Ningxin fell in love with the prince at first sight.
But because of the acne all over her face, she knew that Lu Hanting would not marry her like this.
So he went to the palace and asked the Empress Dowager to grant him an imperial edict.
In the end, for reasons unknown, the crown prince actually accepted it.
He Yuyan cured Xie Ningxin's facial sores ahead of time in this lifetime.
Therefore, she naturally had confidence.
She thought that with her family background and talent, Lu Hanting would consider marrying her.
In the end, he was still rejected.
Qiu Shui Pavilion.
Lu Hanting was summoned by Madam Hou.
"Ting'er, aren't you making the Xie family lose face by doing this today?"
Tell me, what's wrong with Ningxin?
Aside from the Xie and Chen families, the only one who matches your status and position is a princess.
Or do you want to marry someone of lower social standing?
For example, someone like Liu Qingyun?
Lady Hou looked at her son with displeasure in her eyes.
"Why aren't you saying anything? Do you really think Liu Qingyun is a good person?"
Seeing that her son remained silent, Lady Hou became even more displeased.
Liu Qingyun?
Is she the girl who danced so well at her grandmother's birthday party yesterday?
If she were to become the mistress of this marquis's mansion, it might not be so bad.
After all, he already had two concubines, so it was better to let a strong and domineering woman become his crown prince's wife.
It would be better to find a sensible and gentle mistress for Wei'er and Yan'er.
Thinking of this, Lu Hanting said calmly:
"Mother, what's wrong with someone like Miss Liu?"
"You, you really have taken a liking to her?"
Judging from the meaning behind his son's words, could it be that the truth had been revealed to Liu Qingyun?
"Why not!"
"I won't allow it!"
Lady Hou said sternly.
Given Liu Qingyun's family background, it would be of no help whatsoever to Ting'er's official career.
She absolutely wouldn't allow it.
To everyone's surprise, Lu Hanting merely glanced at Madam Hou indifferently.
“Mother, I have been obedient to you enough.”
Lady Hou's expression stiffened slightly as she listened.
She understood what her son meant, of course.
Her son has been rebellious since childhood, and has never given her a moment's peace of mind.
For a time, she was afraid she wouldn't be able to turn things around, but as she grew older...
My son suddenly became sensible.
He didn't argue with her; she just thought it was because her son had grown up.
Little did anyone know that he had simply concealed his true nature; deep down, he was still the same unruly person he always was.
"Mother, if there's nothing else, I'll be going now."
Lu Hanting didn't look at Madam Hou again, and got up and walked out.
Watching his son leave.
For a moment, Lady Hou suddenly felt a little scared.
She was afraid that the long-buried secret would be revealed.
If Ting'er finds out, I'm afraid...
The Xie State Duke's Mansion.
After returning home, Xie Ningxin locked herself in her room and didn't even come out for dinner.
Xie's mother was heartbroken.
She asked the maid and learned that her daughter had actually confessed her feelings to Lu Hanting in public.
"This this……"
Xie's mother leaned against the wall, feeling a little dizzy.
A young woman actually revealed her feelings to a man in public.
If word gets out, will the Xie family still have any face left?
Besides, it wasn't a big deal to express his feelings, but he was actually firmly rejected.
Xie's mother stood outside the door, pacing back and forth.
I was worried, but I had no idea what to do with my daughter.
Upon hearing that his daughter was throwing a tantrum and refusing to eat, Xie Jinan rushed over.
"How is it? Is Xin'er still unwilling to open the door?"
Upon seeing her husband arrive, Xie's mother scolded, "See? It's all because you spoiled him."
Your daughter is so spoiled, she's completely out of control...
"What are you talking about? With my daughter's status, what kind of man can't she get?"
"Lu Hanting is blind; he can't see how good Xin'er is!"
At this point, Xie Jinan became even angrier.
What does Lu Hanting have to be arrogant about? He's just a lackey of the emperor.
He actually looks down on his own precious daughter.
He'll go to the Empress Dowager tomorrow and ask for an imperial decree to betroth his daughter to him.
He'd see if Lu Hanting dared to defy the imperial decree and refuse to marry him.
