Chapter 162 "Dad" and "Stepmother"

"Last time I entered the palace, I was a little excited and my words were a little extreme. I hope my cousin will forgive me."

I really didn't expect that Wang Fengyi would start by apologizing to Lu Ji.

Still in front of her.

The daughter of Wang from Langya is truly magnanimous.

I only heard the man's clear voice: "I won't care about these little things."

Finally, he said calmly: "If there is nothing else, I will leave first."

"cousin--"

The woman called out to him again, and the man stopped his steps and asked her, "Anything else?"

The woman considered it and seemed to find it difficult to speak, but she still spoke.

I only heard her say: "I know that my cousin likes Miss Qin."

Why are you still talking about her?

Qin Xiaoning was embarrassed, but pretended not to hear and continued to enjoy the scenery with an airy look.

The man remained silent, and the woman continued, "I understand what my cousin is worried about. I was just telling Miss Qin that we must live in harmony in the future and not embarrass my cousin."

The man seemed to turn his head and look at her after hearing this.

Even with her back turned, the little girl could still clearly feel that fiery gaze.

Not only was the man looking at her, but the Wang family girl's gaze also seemed to be on her.

She actually had a lot to do with this conversation between the master and the mistress.

The little girl really couldn't pretend to be invisible anymore, so she simply turned around, first looked at the man with her clear eyes, then glanced at Wang Fengyi who was not far away, and said softly: "Miss Wang did tell me just now that we should live in harmony in the future."

When Wang Fengyi saw the little girl's attitude, a look of relief appeared on her face, but the man still looked stern.

The three of them were silent for a long time, and then Lu Ji spoke.

It was directed at Wang Fengyi.

He said: "A Ning has been with me since she was seven years old. She is the person closest to me in this world and no one can replace her."

As he spoke, the man lowered his eyes and glanced at the little girl, with a hint of kindness in his eyes.

Then he turned to Wang Fengyi and said, "I told you clearly that day at the palace gate. If you insist on fulfilling the engagement, I will keep my promise. But now that you have become my Lu family's wife, you must not imitate those other wives outside and set rules for An Ning, let her suffer injustice, torture her openly or secretly, and you must not beat her, scold her, or punish her."

Facing the man's defense, Wang Fengyi generously replied: "Don't worry, cousin. There are no petty women in the Wang family of Langya."

Lu Ji continued to talk: "She is delicate and can't take care of herself. She can't do without my protection and care. I will take extra care of An Ning. You can't be jealous and mess with me."

Qin Xiaoning kept her head down. She didn't know what Wang Fengyi's expression was when she heard this. She only heard her calm voice: "I'm not that kind of jealous woman."

The daughter of Wang of Langya is a model of noble ladies in the world. She is fit to become the queen of the imperial palace. Her bearing, tolerance and cultivation are truly incomparable to that of ordinary women.

Gee!

The little girl was daydreaming here, and the man looked at her again, with a bit of fatherly and brotherly love in his eyes. She raised her eyes to meet his, with a bit of confusion on her fair little face.

Following the man's gaze, Wang Fengyi also turned her gaze towards her.

The little girl didn't know what these two people meant.

For a moment, the little girl had an illusion.

She was a poor little girl without a mother. Her father wanted to find a stepmother for her, but he was worried that his daughter would be bullied, so he set rules for the stepmother in advance.

Only when the stepmother nodded and promised to treat people well could she enter.

Faced with such a strange scene, glancing at the two people's eyes focused on her, the little girl really didn't know what to say. After racking her brains for a long time, she stammered to them, "Well, then from now on, everyone will be, well." With the little girl's statement, the conversation between the 'biological father' and the 'stepmother' ended successfully.

Wang Fengyi slowly went out with her maid, and Lu Ji took his little girl back to Qingsong Garden.

When Wang Fengyi disappeared, Lu Ji asked the little girl, "Did she really say that to you just now?"

The 'biological father' is particularly worried, fearing that the 'stepmother' will say one thing in front of him and another behind his back.

When the little girl saw the man's appearance, she couldn't help but cover her mouth and laugh.

Lu Ji stopped, gave her a dark look, and said in a deep voice, "What are you laughing at? How can you be so heartless?"

He is going to have a stepmother, but he can still laugh. He is really heartless.

The little girl forced herself to stop laughing and said to the man: "Don't you think the relationship between the three of us is quite..."

She couldn't find the right words to describe it for a moment, racking her brains to think about it, and asked Lu Ji: "Don't you think it's a bit strange?"

Lu Ji gave her a serious look and said, "Be serious and don't do those useless things to me."

Then he asked the little girl again: "What did she tell you?"

The girl couldn't persuade the man, so she repeated to him everything Wang Fengyi had said to her. At the end, she said something good on Wang Fengyi's behalf: "Wang's daughter is actually quite generous. If it were me, I wouldn't rush over to suffer this grievance."

Hearing this, Lu Ji rolled his eyes at the little girl again and said to her in a teaching tone, "You can't judge a person by appearance alone, understand?"

The little girl nodded: "I understand."

"What do you know?" The man snorted, and then continued: "You should take other people's nice words seriously, otherwise you will suffer a loss."

What loss could she suffer? If things were good, she would continue to live a life of luxury in the mansion. If things were uncomfortable, she would just leave.

Call her selfish or cold-hearted, anyway, the purpose of life is to live happily and freely.

She has no father or mother, and her life is already miserable. If she doesn't love herself more, then she deserves to have a miserable life.

"What are you thinking about?"

The man talked for a long time, but the girl didn't respond, so he stopped and looked at her and asked, "Did you listen to what I said?"

The little girl hurriedly said, "I understand. I will definitely remember the prince's teachings in my heart."

"Stop talking to me."

The man glared at her, then raised his hand and held her hand, admonishing her: "If she dares to bully you in the future, don't keep it in your heart, just tell me, understand?"

"clear."

She said, "Actually, the daughter of the Wang family is really not bad."

The girl is not such a bad person. Putting aside her jealousy towards Wang Fengyi because of Lu Ji, to be fair, Wang Fengyi is indeed a qualified clan wife.

He is steady and capable, has a broad mind, and can see the big picture.

She is not comparable to ordinary noble ladies.

Moreover, Qin Xiaoning could see that she loved Lu Ji deeply. Otherwise, no matter how virtuous she was, she would not give up her dignity and accommodate a man like this.

Seeing the little girl speaking well of Wang's daughter, Lu Ji was not pleased at all, but was extremely displeased.

He rolled his eyes at the little girl and snorted, "You are quite open-minded."

In fact, Qin Xiaoning had already silently accepted the fact that another woman had to come between them, but Lu Ji was still very indignant.

The girl patiently explained to the man: "I said good things about her, not because I don't care about you."

He also explained his feelings to her: "I know that even if you get married, you will still treat me the same, so I am not jealous."
