Phoenix Hairpin Chapter 147: Rivals (2)
Lu Mingyu has never been gentle and has a very direct remark.
Qiao Wan raised her eyes and looked at Lu Mingyu.
This is an unbelievable scene.
Her sadness and loneliness is inexorable. It was Lu Mingyu who untied the mess and soothed her pain.
"Sister Lu, your magnanimity really makes me ashamed." Qiao Wan's eyes flashed with water again: "Before, I used the heart of a villain to save the belly of a gentleman."
"I thought you would be so upset that you didn't want to see me."
Lu Mingyu smiled disapprovingly: "The person Li Jing wants to marry is me. I have nothing to worry about."
Qiao Wan: "..."
Qiao Wan bit her lip, her heart hurt and sore, and there was an indescribable relief.
Yeah, she's always been the one who's holding her back.
Li Jing likes Lu Mingyu, and the person he wants to marry is also Lu Mingyu. As for whether Lu Mingyu wants to marry Li Jing, in her opinion, there is nothing to think about.
How could there be a girl who is unwilling to marry Li Jing in this world!
Lu Mingyu seemed to see through Qiao Wan's thoughts, and twitched the corners of her mouth with self-deprecation: "Are you thinking that Li Jing's status is noble and beautiful, and all girls are willing to marry him?"
Qiao Wan nodded naturally: "Isn't it?"
Lu Mingyu did not compete with the infatuated cousin Qiao, and said lightly: "A's honey, B's arsenic. In this world, no one can win everyone's love."
Qiao Wan finally sensed something was wrong: "This marriage, is it because you are reluctant?"
Lu Mingyu thought for a while and sighed: "If you don't repay the debt you owe in your previous life, you can only marry him."
Qiao Wan was so sour that she wanted to cry again.
Lu Mingyu didn't explain any further, and said softly, "I hope Sister Qiao will marry a good person and be happy in this life."
Don't be trapped by love like the previous life, and die in depression.
Qiao Wan took a deep breath: "Okay, I'm looking forward to doing what you said. I'm so disturbed today, so I'll say goodbye and leave. I'll come back to congratulate you on the day you get married."
Lu Mingyu smiled slightly: "Don't worry. Your eyes are so red, you look like you've cried. When you go out like this, you must talk about it. I'll have someone bring cold water, put it on your eyes, and then re-dress. some time."
Qiao Wan nodded shyly.
It is said that when a rival in love meets, they are particularly jealous. She and Lu Mingyu are undoubtedly the exception among the exceptions. Lu Mingyu was friendly and sympathetic to her, and the gloom in her heart was quietly melted by this warmth and tolerance.
……
An hour later, Qiao Wan left the Lu family and returned to Qiao's house.
Old Mrs. Qiao heard that her granddaughter had returned, and she immediately called Qiao Wan to her face. After looking carefully, he frowned slightly: "Wan'er, have you ever cried?"
Qiao Wan saw that she couldn't hide it, so she had to admit it: "Yes. I had a long conversation with the fourth sister Lu, and I couldn't help crying. Later, I specially applied ice water and cream. "
Rao is so, looking closely, there are still traces of crying.
Mr. Qiao was released as an official, and Mrs. Qiao also took the post. Qiao Wan has been living with her grandfather and grandmother. Mrs. Qiao has always loved this granddaughter.
For more than half a year, Qiao Wan has been in a gloomy mood and has been ill intermittently. Mrs. Qiao didn't know how much she had to worry about. Hearing what Qiao Wan said at this time, Madam Qiao blurted out, "Did Miss Lu Fourth bully you?"
Qiao Wan shook her head again and again: "Grandma misunderstood. Fourth sister Lu has a broad mind and did not bully me."
Then, put together what I said to Lu Mingyu today.
After hearing this, Mrs. Qiao also sighed a little: "In this way, Miss Lu Si is quite ambitious and upright, and she is barely worthy of the second prince."
Qiao Wan also nodded in agreement: "grandmother said yes. If you say that in this world, who else can be worthy of a cousin, only the fourth sister Lu."
The tone was neither sad nor sad, but very calm.
Mrs. Qiao was both surprised and happy, she reached out and touched Qiao Wan's head: "Wan'er, you finally understand."
"In the matter of marriage, it is the man who proposes the marriage on his own initiative, and there is no reason for the woman to take the initiative. His Highness the Second Prince took the initiative to ask for Lu Mingyu's marriage, which shows that he likes her very much."
"You and His Royal Highness are not married, so you should stop thinking about what you shouldn't have as soon as possible. It will also prevent you from having trouble in the future."
"His Royal Highness wants to marry a wife, and you want to marry into the Fang family as a wife. The second son of Fang is also young and handsome, from a scholarly family. Your grandfather arranged this marriage for you after careful consideration."
"If you marry reluctantly, Mr. Fang is not a fool. Once you find out that you have other thoughts, you will definitely be unhappy. The relationship between husband and wife is weak, how can you live?"
"Grandma is always looking forward to your well. Don't think about anything, just wait for your marriage in peace!"
Qiao Wan replied in a low voice: "Granddaughter obeys grandmother."
Whether a person wants to understand, just look at his face.
Mrs. Qiao was extremely relieved and patted Qiao Wan's hand.
How many times she tried to persuade her, she failed to persuade her granddaughter. Unexpectedly, Qiao Wan's depressed mind was evacuated when she went to Lu Mansion today. It can be seen that it is all due to Lu Mingyu.
……
Two days later, Mrs. Qiao entered the palace to meet Queen Qiao.
Because of the marriage between Li Jing and Lu Mingyu, Mrs. Qiao felt a little resentful in her heart. In the past, he would visit the palace two or three times a month, but in the past six months, he has had an audience at most once a month. And Lu Mingyu is rarely mentioned.
Today, Mrs. Qiao was all smiles and praised Lu Mingyu fiercely.
Queen Qiao was a little surprised and asked with a smile, "Why did my mother suddenly praise Miss Lu Si?"
There is nothing that can't be said between mother and daughter.
Old Madam Qiao sighed with a smile: "To tell the truth from the Empress, Wan'er has been unhappy all day~IndoMTL.com~ Two days ago, she went to add makeup to Miss Lu Si, and after returning, her mood has improved greatly. When I asked I just found out that this is the case."
Speaking, she told Qiao Wan's trip to the Lu Mansion: "... Fourth Miss Lu is really open and upright, she never took this matter to heart. After a few words, most of Wan'er's worries went away. "
"His Royal Highness's vision is really first-class."
"Only such a girl can be regarded as the second prince concubine!"
Queen Qiao raised her brows and raised her mouth: "I don't hide my mother's praise for her like this. In fact, I was not happy with this marriage at first. But Ah Jing was willing, I couldn't beat him, so I had to He plots."
"After getting married, A Jing's mood is getting better day by day. When he is free, he will go to Lu Mansion to see his fiancee."
"I understand now. It's his own business to marry a daughter-in-law to live. He likes it, more than anything else. It's better than the parents' orders. After marrying in the door and hanging on the side, they respect each other like ice."
This last sentence is full of desolation and helplessness.
