Chapter 161 Harmony between wife and concubine?

When she heard that Wang Fengyi was here, the Duke's wife was slightly startled, then she reacted and said to Qin Xiaoning, "I asked you to come here today to tell you that in a few days, I will take the women to our mountaintop villa to enjoy the flowers, and you can come with me to relax."

He added, "Yesterday I sent someone to inform Feng Yatou and asked her if she would go with us. She is coming here now, I'm afraid she is here to answer questions."

As she was speaking, Wang Fengyi had already slowly entered with the maid. She raised her eyes and saw Qin Xiaoning sitting next to the Duke's wife at the top seat. Her narrow eyes dimmed slightly.

This subtle movement did not escape Qin Xiaoning's eyes. She got down from the Danbi and stood beside the chair at the bottom.

After Wang Fengyi bowed to the Duke's wife dignifiedly, Qin Xiaoning bowed slightly to Wang Fengyi. Wang Fengyi smiled faintly: "Miss Qin, you are too polite. Please sit down."

One is her son's sweetheart, and the other is his soon-to-be wife. As a mother, Lady Guogong doesn't want to interfere too much in her son's affairs, but she still hopes that the wife and concubine can live in harmony.

After all, if the harem is not peaceful, the son will also be uneasy.

As a mother, you naturally want your children to be comfortable and happy.

Seeing that the two women were both well-mannered, the Duke's wife breathed a sigh of relief and said to Wang Fengyi with a smile, "Tomorrow I want to take a few girls and wives from the mansion to the mountaintop villa to enjoy the flowers. I wonder if Feng girl is free?"

Wang Fengyi smiled and replied, "Feng'er, you're free. I've heard that my aunt's mountaintop villa has a pleasant view. I accepted my aunt's invitation yesterday and I can't wait any longer."

The Duke's wife smiled cheerfully when she heard this: "Don't worry, we'll go there in two days."

Then, he continued to introduce it to Wang Fengyi: "The villa is built on the top of the mountain. The most wonderful thing is the peach garden. Every spring when the peach blossoms are in full bloom, the place is as beautiful as a fairyland. The children love it. Every year at this time, I take them there to stay for a few days."

Wang Fengyi agreed with a smile: "Feng'er is so lucky. She just came to Beijing last year, and this year she caught up with her aunt's peach blossom banquet."

Upon hearing this, the Duke's wife called to the maid beside her and said, "Go to the East Palace later and ask those girls if they want to go. Then go and urge the Second Madam and the Fifth Miss of the Second House. If they want to go, they can go with you. Ask Chun'er to bring the two sisters as well. Our family hasn't been together like this for a while."

The maid took the order and left. Wang Fengyi was here talking to the Duke's wife. Qin Xiaoning didn't want to stay any longer, so she found an excuse to leave first. Unexpectedly, Wang Fengyi also said she wanted to leave.

The two of them left Anju Hall together.

The two walked to the fork in the road. If Wang Fengyi wanted to go back home, they would definitely not be able to go the same way. When they were about to part, she paused, looked at Qin Xiaoning, and asked in a gentle voice, "Is my cousin still on duty?"

Qin Xiaoning said truthfully, "I followed the Sixth Miss to the front yard after returning from private school. I wonder if he has returned. If it were any other day, at this time, if the government office was not busy, he would have returned."

Glancing at Wang Fengyi's hesitant expression, Qin Xiaoning said gently, "If you want to see the prince, why don't you follow me to Qingsong Garden."

Wang Fengyi smiled faintly and replied, "It would be against etiquette for me to rush over like this."

She paused, then added: "It's just that I really want to see my cousin."

"I have a few words to say to him." She looked at Qin Xiaoning and said.

Qin Xiaoning hesitated for a moment and asked Wang Fengyi for her opinion: "I'll go back and take a look first. If the prince is here, I'll ask him to come and see my cousin."

Facing the girl's generosity, Wang Fengyi felt a little embarrassed. After thinking for a while, she said to Qin Xiaoning, "That day when I followed my cousin into the palace, we had a little quarrel."

She hesitated, then continued, "So I want to talk to him in person."

It was as if he was deliberately explaining to Qin Xiaoning.

I can’t interfere when a couple wants to talk about something.

Qin Xiaoning didn't show any emotion and replied, "Then I'll go back and take a look. If the prince is here, let him come over. Cousin, please wait here for a while."

Qin Xiaoning was about to turn around and go back to help her find someone, but Wang Fengyi called her again. When the little girl turned around, she looked at her and said, "Miss Qin, I know you are a good person, and I also know that my cousin likes you very much. I hope that we can get along well in the future, and help my cousin together, so that he can pursue his career without any worries."

Imitate Ehuang and Nvying? Perhaps it is because she is an orphan and her thoughts are more realistic.

Qin Xiaoning never believed in such things as harmonious marriage between wife and concubine.
Two women are guarding one man. Unless one of them has her heart not in the other man, there will definitely be disputes. Since there are disputes, how can there be harmony?

Although she thought so in her heart, facing Wang Fengyi's initiative to show goodwill, Qin Xiaoning still responded generously: "I hope so too."

"It definitely will." Wang Fengyi said firmly.

Qin Xiaoning smiled and said, "I'll go see if the prince has come back."

As she spoke, she raised her feet again, and just after she took a few steps, she saw Lu Ji coming towards her.

"Where did you go? It took me so long to find you."

When they first saw the person, Lu Ji spoke first. When he saw Wang Fengyi standing not far from the girl, the man's handsome brows frowned slightly.

Qin Xiaoning stopped again, turned around to look at Wang Fengyi, and then said to Lu Ji: "My cousin wants to talk to you about something, I was just about to go back to find you."

Lu Ji showed a trace of surprise on his face. Without letting him speak, Qin Xiaoning said, "You guys talk slowly. I'll go back first."

Just as she was about to take a step, her sleeve was grabbed by Lu Ji.

He said, "We'll be back together later."

Wang Fengyi stepped forward, bowed slightly to Lu Ji, and said, "I want to say a few words to my cousin."

The man's handsome face showed no expression, and he said calmly, "Go ahead."

Lu Ji's arrival immediately made the originally "harmonious" scene between wife and concubine awkward.

Qin Xiaoning cleared her throat and said, "I have something else to do, so I'll leave first."

But Lu Ji did not let go of the hand that was holding her sleeve. After she said this, the man held it even tighter.

The little girl was a little at a loss, and winked at the man: "Let go."

The man ignored her and continued to pull her stubbornly, looking at Wang Fengyi indifferently: "What do you want to say? Say it."

This gentleman.

How can the girl talk to you when you are like this?

Even Qin Xiaoning felt a little embarrassed for Wang Fengyi. The little girl secretly glanced at Wang Fengyi opposite her. She was worthy of being a daughter of Wang family of Langya. Facing such a cold and hard attitude of the man, she still remained calm and decent.

If it were me, I would have turned around and left.

As a lady, do you still have to endure the injustice done by men?

Qin Xiaoning originally thought that only an orphan like her who had no one to rely on would suffer grievances.

Come to think of it, God is fair. As a little orphan, she has never suffered any major injustice. However, for a noble lady like Wang Fengyi, everything is not as smooth as she imagined.

"cousin--"

Qin Xiaoning's thoughts were interrupted only when Wang Fengyi spoke. Since Lu Ji would not let go, she simply pretended to be invisible and did not look at the two of them. She just turned her back and pretended to appreciate the scenery with an indifferent look.
