Chapter 200 Marriage
"Speaking of which, Madam, Miss Xie also has a birthday gift to present to you!"
Lady Hou looked at Xie Ningxin and gave her a wink.
Xie Ningxin understood and stepped forward with a gift box in her hand.
"With heartfelt wishes, we extend our deepest blessings to the Madam, wishing her a long and prosperous life, and good health and happiness."
Looking at the pretty young girl in front of her, the old lady couldn't remember who she was for a moment.
Only after being reminded by Zhang Mama did they realize that she was actually a young lady from the Xie family who was staying at the Marquis's residence to treat facial sores.
The old lady smiled and nodded, her gaze sweeping over her.
This girl has a long face.
Perhaps due to the previous acne, my skin, while not particularly smooth, is healthy and rosy.
Her slightly upturned eyebrows carried a hint of strength, yet still retained a touch of feminine gentleness.
His eyes revealed his shrewdness.
The old lady's eyes showed a hint of understanding, but she praised, "Good, she's a good girl."
Everyone saw Xie Ningxin hand the gift to Zhang Mama beside her.
"Grandma, I heard you like Bodhi beads."
This is a rare item that my father had someone source from Jiangnan. I hope you like it.
Granny Zhang opened the sandalwood box and found a string of Bodhi beads made of blood dragon wood.
It's in excellent condition; it's clearly a rare item that's hard to find on the market.
"This... seems a bit too valuable!"
The old lady murmured.
"Madam, this is a token of my appreciation. I hope you will accept it."
Xie Ningxin said sincerely with a smile on her face.
"Yes, Madam, since Miss Xie has such filial piety, please accept it!"
Lady Hou also tried to persuade her.
Although the old lady felt uneasy about what Liu was thinking.
But in front of so many people, she still had to give Liu Shi and the Xie family some face.
"If that's the case, then this old woman will accept it. Thank you for your kindness, Miss."
"As long as the old lady is happy."
Xie Ningxin's lowered eyes flickered slightly as she spoke softly.
Since the old lady accepted her gift, it could be considered that she acknowledged her on the surface.
Seeing this, He Yuyan understood everything.
I originally thought Xie Ningxin wouldn't cause much trouble, but I didn't expect her to be so cunning.
He had already ingratiated himself with Lady Liu while receiving treatment for facial sores at the Marquis's residence, and now he has Lady Liu's assistance.
Even if the Crown Prince has no feelings for Xie Ningxin, he probably can't do anything about his own mother.
She couldn't help but feel annoyed at her own good intentions.
On the Crown Prince's side.
But he didn't even lift his eyes, just quietly sipped his tea.
He Yuyan immediately felt relieved.
Compared to Liu Qingyun, the young master didn't even give Xie Ningxin a smile, which shows that he had no affection for her.
While Xie Ningxin was doing all this, she kept glancing at the Crown Prince out of the corner of her eye.
She didn't even look up when she saw him.
A surge of resentment welled up inside her.
After all, she gave the old lady such a generous gift; shouldn't she be entitled to even glance at her?
Lady Hou saw this.
She pulled Xie Ningxin's hand and moved closer to her son.
"Ting'er, Ningxin stayed at the manor for a period of time. You should have met her, right?"
Only then did Lu Hanting raise his head.
However, he only glanced briefly at the girl beside his mother before turning his head away.
"Not impressed."
The prince spoke in a cool, indifferent voice.
Watching from a distance, Wu Weiwei couldn't help but gently cover her mouth with her handkerchief.
A karmic entanglement is a karmic entanglement.
The two of them didn't have a good ending in their past life, and now that they've met again, it's the same.
As far as she knew, Xie Ningxin's appearance was not Lu Hanting's type at all.
Xie Ningxin's facial features are actually quite good, except for her eyebrows, which are rather stiff.
It looks more assertive and less feminine.
How could the prince possibly like a woman like that?
Now let's look at He Yuyan.
Her expression was aloof, and she seemed to be having some difficulty breathing.
Heh, you reap what you sow!
Originally, Xie Ningxin was married into the Marquis's mansion with a face full of acne, and the heir might have been disgusted and refused to consummate the marriage with her.
She has now cured Xie Ningxin's acne.
It's hard to say whether the prince will favor her after marrying her for the sake of the bigger picture.
As long as the female lead doesn't fall and the prince's women don't provoke her, she won't interfere.
After all, it seems that the female lead is the biggest obstacle to her rise to power.
"Your Highness, we met just half a month ago at the main gate of the Marquis's residence..."
Xie Ningxin reminded her.
"Is that so? I never remember much about trivial matters."
Lu Hanting frowned.
Xie Ningxin felt a tightness in her chest upon seeing this.
She didn't expect to leave a good impression on the Crown Prince, but she didn't expect that he had no impression of her at all.
However, Lu Hanting didn't care what she thought.
Sitting among a large group of women, he had reached his limit of patience.
He glanced at his two concubines.
He Yuyan responded to him with obvious delight.
But it's Wu Weiwei.
She seemed lost in thought, her gaze fixed elsewhere.
Ok!
I'll deal with her properly tonight.
"Grandmother, I have some things to attend to at the front, so I'll have to go now!"
Seeing her grandson's impatience, the old lady knew it too.
It was really difficult for a grown man to be surrounded by so many women.
"Okay, Ting'er, you can go ahead and get busy!"
Only after Lu Hanting left did the women dare to relax.
They ate, drank, chatted, and laughed.
The banquet lasted until late afternoon, when everyone gradually dispersed.
Xie Ningxin came out of the flower hall and prepared to go back.
She's in a bad mood today and is very unhappy.
Lady Hou comforted her, saying that the young master always had this aloof demeanor towards everyone.
Let her come to the Marquis's residence more often in the future, and they will naturally become familiar with each other.
But she still had a knot in her heart.
Her facial sores have healed.
She is no longer the girl who felt inferior because of the acne on her face.
What kind of man can't she have?
While she was lost in thought, the maid beside her suddenly said, "Miss, the young master..."
Xie Ningxin looked up and saw the prince standing there quietly.
Viewed from the side, the man's face has beautiful lines.
His facial features looked as if they had been meticulously sculpted by highly skilled craftsmen, with every line perfectly proportioned.
Her every gesture exudes nobility and elegance.
Xie Ningxin felt her heart beating faster.
"Sir!"
Xie Ningxin quickly stepped forward.
Upon seeing that it was Xie Ningxin, Lu Hanting frowned.
Today, his mother introduced him to someone, and he realized what she was planning.
However, the Xie family mansion was not the kind of place he wanted to deal with.
"what's up?"
Hearing the coldness in the prince's words, Xie Ningxin felt a little scared.
But her love for him overcame her fear.
"Thank you, Miss Xie!"
The impatience in the man's tone stirred Xie Ningxin's emotions.
She told herself that she wanted to have this man.
"Your Highness, I love you."
If possible, the Xie family is willing to form a marriage alliance with the Dingguo Marquis's family. What do you think?
