Chapter 137 Stop pretending
So when Chenyu came to visit, she brought a burden with her.
Rong Heqing was sitting at the stone table in the garden. When he heard the announcement, he turned around and was stunned when he met four eyes.
Chenyu looked a little embarrassed, and bowed slightly, saying, "I pay my respects to the princess, may the princess live long and happy."
Rong Heqing smiled and nodded, his eyes fell on Su Mingzhan behind him, and asked curiously: "Who is she?"
Su Mingzhan, who was dressed up carefully, stepped forward and saluted with a smile: "My daughter Su Mingzhan greets Princess Duan. May you be blessed."
"Su Mingzhan?" Rong He nodded clearly, "She is the daughter of Marquis Lu Yang's family."
"Yes, I was recuperating in my hometown due to illness and was not in Yundu. I just came back recently. I heard a lot about the princess and admired her very much. I heard that the princess sent an invitation to Aunt Shen, so I shamelessly followed her. I want to see the princess playing the pipa. I hope the princess will not despise me."
If she hadn't known what kind of person she was, Chenyu would have been fooled by her harmless, innocent and cute appearance.
You really know how to pretend.
Chenyu didn't interrupt her performance, but just stood quietly by the side and watched her perform.
Rong Heqing waved his hand, "Since you are here, please sit down."
Chen Yu was startled and couldn't help but curl her lips.
Now that she's here, it seems like he's disgusted but doesn't want to offend her.
But if you want to say there is something wrong with this sentence, there is absolutely no point in it. If you insist, people can also say that I didn't mean that and that you are just overthinking it.
She secretly glanced at Su Mingzhan's expression and found that his smile was indeed a little stiff.
999 asked curiously: [Host, you have no grudge against her, right? Why did you give her a show of strength right from the start? ]
Ronghe Qingzheng was drinking tea and almost choked when he heard this. [What do you mean by "showing off"? That's called "showing off". Besides, how did I show off my power to her? She came uninvited. Did she ask for my opinion? Did she respect me? ]
999: [No.]
[That's it. People are mutually supportive. If she wanted to come, she could have sent me a visiting card and asked for my opinion. I would have agreed and then she would have come. This is basic courtesy. She didn't even ask and just came with me. What was she thinking that I didn't know?]
999 suddenly realized: [I understand! ]
Rong Heqing looked at Su Mingzhan who was standing there motionless, and looked at her with eyes even more innocent than hers: "Why don't you sit down? Do you think the stone bench is dirty?"
Su Mingzhan: "I..."
"I was negligent. Wanzhu, go get two cushions."
"Yes."
Wanzhu quickly stepped inside and took out two cushions and put them down. She smiled at Chenyu, and when she faced Su Mingzhan, she just did her business. "Ms. Su, please—"
Su Mingzhan felt as disgusted as if he had eaten a fly, but he didn't dare to show it. He had to thank her, "Thank you, Princess, for your consideration."
After she sat down, she glanced at Chenyu, then turned around and put the blame on her.
Chenyu didn't care and didn't take her seriously at all.
She raised her hand to stroke the strands of hair on her forehead, but she gasped in pain as soon as she touched them.
Rong Heqing immediately cast a concerned look: "What's wrong?"
Su Mingzhan's heart tightened. Okay, she was going to complain!
Before Chen Yu could speak, she said, "It's like this. A few days ago, Aunt Chen went out at night without a lantern. She tripped on the steps and hit her head."
"Hit your head? Is that so?" Rong Heqing looked at Chenyu inquiringly.
Chenyu nodded, pushed aside the loose hair on her forehead and said, "I've been applying medicine diligently these past few days, and it's fine now, but it still hurts a little."
"Hey - this is not suitable for the princess to see, it's scary, don't offend the princess." Su Mingzhan reached out to pull her.
Rong Heqing chuckled: "There's no need to be so careful. When I blocked the knife for His Majesty, I saw all kinds of scenes. Why would I be afraid of a small bump?"
Su Mingzhan was choked and speechless.
Seeing this, Zheliu poured tea for Su Mingzhan and said, "Don't worry, Miss Su. The princess is just taking a look and will not hurt you."
"I'm not in a hurry, I'm just worried about the princess." Su Mingzhan smiled awkwardly, holding the teacup as if he was holding his own fear.
Chenyu sat still and let Rong Heqing push aside her hair. After seeing the wound, Rong Heqing's expression suddenly turned cold. She lowered her eyes and asked Chenyu, "Did you get this from a knock?"
Chenyu seemed to be hesitant to speak, and turned to look at Su Mingzhan, as if she was a little afraid.
Rong Heqing also looked over.
Su Mingzhan immediately put down the teacup and said, "Of course I knocked on it. How dare we lie to the princess?"
"You don't dare? I think you are very brave."
Rong Heqing said with a joking tone, "This wound was obviously caused by being smashed. There are also small cuts around it caused by the explosion of broken porcelain. Don't tell me that there happened to be a porcelain cup on the steps when she fell."
"And then she just happened to fall on that little porcelain cup."
Ronghe glanced at the two of them and said, "No way, no way, you don't really think I'm a fool, do you?"
Chen Yu: “…”
Su Mingzhan: “…”
Wanzhu and Zheliu looked at each other and tried hard not to laugh out loud.
"Princess, please forgive me. I didn't mean to deceive you, but..."
Su Mingzhan stood up and was about to kneel, but before he could finish his words, Rong Heqing stopped him. She raised her hand and said, "You don't have to explain to me. I called Chenyu here today to tell her something. If you have nothing to do, go walk around the yard."
Su Mingzhan was startled, and subconsciously looked at Chenyu and bit his lower lip.
What can these two people say?
And Chenyu was also involved in the lie, so how could she not be angry with Chenyu?
Su Mingzhan was not convinced, but Wanzhu and Zheliu did not give her the chance to say more. They smiled and said, "Miss Su, please come in. The flowers in the garden are in full bloom. You will definitely like them."
"Aunt Shen is introverted, I'm afraid she'll be scared if she's left alone, can we not go?"
Su Mingzhan pinched his palms and tried hard to resist.
"Do you think I am discussing this with you?" Rong Heqing's face suddenly darkened.
Su Mingzhan's heart trembled, and Chenyu advised: "Miss, you should go. The princess will not embarrass me."
Who worries about you?!
Su Mingzhan gritted his teeth, but didn't dare to pester her anymore. He bowed and walked away, looking back every few steps.
Wanzhu and Zheliu also retreated, leaving Rongheqing and Chenyu alone in the yard.
Rong Heqing sat down. "The wound is not a problem. I have some excellent ointment here. Take a bottle when you leave. Apply it morning and night when you go back. It won't leave scars and will be completely healed in two days."
"Princess, you are too polite. I can't take such good medicine."
"You helped me a lot last time and I haven't thanked you yet. It's just a bottle of medicine, it's nothing."
Rong Heqing poured her a cup of tea and said bluntly without beating around the bush: "Since there are no outsiders here, let's stop pretending. What do you want to do by entering Lu Yanghou's mansion?"
