Chapter 112 Jealous

The master and servant exchanged a few private words, and when they arrived at the Sixth Miss's Fangfei Garden, they both stopped talking at the same time.

The maidservant at the door saw Wang Fengyi, smiled and greeted her, then hurried in to pass on the message. After a while, the Sixth Miss came out in person and saw Wang Fengyi, and said cheerfully, "Cousin, you're here so soon? I thought Grandmother wanted you to stay there for dinner and would be delayed for a while."

As Wang Fengyi and the Sixth Miss walked toward the courtyard, she smiled and replied, "When we were at the ancestral temple this morning, ever since I heard you say that you had collected Madam Wei's authentic works, I've been feeling uneasy. How can I feel at ease to eat at my great-aunt's house?"

"I heard from my grandmother that my cousin is famous in Jinling. Knowing that my cousin came to see calligraphy, I just asked them to find a lot of calligraphy and draw it. In addition to Madam Wei's, there are also several works by Wang Xizhi and Zhao Mengfu."

Wang Fengyi became even more impatient after hearing that, and quickly followed the Sixth Miss into the house. After the two of them sat down, the maids carried a long table and carefully began to spread out the calligraphy and paintings.

This was the first time Wang Fengyi came to the Sixth Miss's place. While the maids were busy getting calligraphy and paintings, she subconsciously looked around the furnishings in the room.

When Wang Fengyi's casual gaze swept across a piece of calligraphy hanging on the opposite wall, her dark pupils gradually shrank, and then she couldn't help but stand up and walk to the calligraphy, stop in front of it, and appreciate it carefully.

The font is majestic and vigorous, inheriting the boldness and liveliness of Wang Xizhi's calligraphy and the strength and grandeur of Ouyang Xun's calligraphy.

Wang Fengyi, who prided himself on being knowledgeable, had never seen such exquisite calligraphy.

She was almost stunned by what she saw.

Seeing this, the Sixth Miss came forward and said to Wang Fengyi with a smile, "Cousin, do you like this character too?"

It was not until the Sixth Miss spoke that Wang Fengyi came back to her senses from the mystery of the calligraphy: "Whose calligraphy is this? How come I have never seen it before?"

The Sixth Miss covered her mouth and smiled: "How can it be called a master? This was written by my second brother."

Upon hearing this, Wang Fengyi was so shocked that she stood there in a daze for a moment.

That young master of the Lu family?
"This was written by my elder brother when he was studying at the Imperial College. I thought it was good, so I asked for it. Now, my elder brother's calligraphy has improved more than before." The Sixth Miss said enthusiastically, "If you like it, I will ask my elder brother for a painting on your behalf someday."

It's more than just liking, it's simply obsession.

Wang Fengyi breathed a sigh of relief. In the end, her noble rationality prevailed. She said politely, "No need. Thank you, Sixth Sister."

As she spoke, she looked at the words a few more times before reluctantly returning to her chair and sitting down.

The maids had already spread out the calligraphy and paintings, and the Sixth Miss happily showed her collection to Wang Fengyi. Wang Fengyi looked at the works of famous artists, but she no longer had the interest she had just now.

When Lu Ji returned from the lady's place, the moon was already high in the sky.

Back at Qingsongyuan, Qin Xiaoning was concentrating on embroidering.

It was to be given to Third Grandma Xia.

Lu Ji took off his cloak and glanced at the little woman who was concentrating on her work. He came forward and rubbed her head with his hand: "Look too closely and you'll hurt your eyes."

Qin Xiaoning raised her hand to rub her sore eyes, put her needle and thread aside, looked at Lu Ji, and asked, "How did you eat at the Madam's?"

Lu Ji nodded and said to himself, "It's a rare day that I have free time today. I originally wanted to go look for my cousin Wang, but when I got to his place, I found out that he had gone to my grandmother's place with his cousin's wife and cousin's sister, so I went to look for him. It happened to be lunchtime, so I ate there."

Qin Xiaoning was silent for a while after hearing this, and then asked carefully: "Is the cousin of the Wang family also using it there?"

Although the Lu family has not expressed their opinion on this cousin, Qin Xiaoning is a careful person. Today, she accompanied the Duke's wife and the second wife to the family temple. From the expressions of Wang Fengyi, the two wives, she could see something.

The wife of the Lu family was very satisfied with Wang Fengyi. This girl was really good, dignified, intelligent, and very motivated. She was truly the best among the noble ladies, and could not be compared with those ordinary noble ladies from other families.

Worthy of Lu Ji.

Knowing that Lu Ji would get married sooner or later, she had been mentally prepared since the moment she gave herself to him.

But at the moment, she couldn't help feeling sad.

A faint sense of jealousy.

Glancing at the little girl's face, Lu Ji felt something was wrong. Then he thought about it and understood what was going on. He had a little intention of teasing her and replied, "Of course, the cousin from the Wang family is here too." Then he asked her, "What do you think of the cousin from the Wang family?"

Qin Xiaoning raised her head, met the man's serious gaze, and asked, "What do you think?"

Lu Ji smiled faintly, then picked up the teacup and took a sip slowly. The little girl looked at him eagerly and couldn't help but asked, "I'm asking you a question."

Lu Ji glanced at her and replied calmly: "Very good."

The little girl's eyes dimmed instantly, like an eggplant hit by frost, wilted and silent. After a while, she picked up the needle and thread beside her and began to pretend to work.

Lu Ji was just joking with her out of boredom, but when he saw her like this, his heart softened immediately and he snatched the needle and thread from her hand: "Do it during the day, it will hurt your eyes at night."

"It's none of your business." The little girl stood up with a wooden face and tried to grab it.

"You don't need me to take care of it anymore?" Lu Ji leaned over and glared at her cold little face, trying not to laugh: "Are you jealous?"

This cousin of the Wang family is different from Jiang Fu, Gu Dong'er, and Princess Huayang. Wang Fengyi is of noble birth, has a distinctive appearance, and most importantly, has a dignified manner and a brilliant mind, which is absolutely not comparable to the superficial people like Jiang Fu and Gu Dong'er.

Although Qin Xiaoning knew what was going on in her mind, emotions were something that could not be controlled by reason sometimes. How could she not feel uncomfortable when she thought that the man who doted on her liked another woman?

"Why would I be jealous?" The little girl rolled her eyes at him and turned away angrily: "I know my own status, how can I control who the prince likes?"

Although the little girl tried hard to hold back her tears, her tone couldn't help but become wet with tears.

Seeing that she was getting serious, Lu Ji came over to comfort her: "I was just kidding. Although I happened to run into Wang's cousin at my grandmother's place today, she didn't stay for dinner." He then explained: "The Wang family educates their daughters very strictly. Wang's cousin is not that kind of superficial girl."

This is the first time I heard Lu Ji praise another woman.

The little girl couldn't help asking him, "Do you think she's good?"

Lu Ji hurriedly explained: "I was just teasing you. I have only met her twice, so how can I tell whether she is good or bad? It's just that I saw her behaved well today, so I just said good things."

Staring at her tearful and aggrieved look, he said nervously, "Don't think too much."

　This is just the beginning of the confrontation. The mental journey of the heroine and the second female lead will slowly change.

　　The male protagonist only loves the female protagonist, and the appearance of the second female protagonist will not affect their relationship.

　　It is normal for a woman in love to be jealous, and it is not that the heroine is petty.
