Chapter 325 Who Should I Marry?
Upon hearing this, Lu Ji immediately retorted: "Who said I want to marry Wang's daughter?"
Qin Xiaoning was stunned.
After a long while, she frowned and asked in confusion, "Aren't you getting married soon? Today, Fulai is still bringing craftsmen to build a garden for your new bride?"
The little woman blinked her eyes suspiciously: "Aren't you going to marry Wang Fengyi?"
Lu Ji looked at her solemnly, but said nothing, just sat down on the chair.
Now it was Qin Xiaoning's turn to lose patience.
She stood up, walked up to Lu Ji, frowned and looked at him and asked, "What's going on? What happened between you and Wang's daughter? Isn't the bride you are going to marry Wang Fengyi?"
The little woman was full of suspicion and asked the man a series of questions.
But Lu Ji remained silent.
The man just sat there. He was no longer as furious as before. His face was dull, as if he was feeling a little bit of pleasure in revenge.
Qin Xiaoning couldn't help but get angry: "Lu Ji, what's going on? Speak."
Because of her anxiety, the little woman's voice became higher.
Lu Ji finally looked at her and asked slowly, "Who I marry is none of your business."
This time, it was Qin Xiaoning's turn to be choked by the question.
"Aren't you going to part ways with me?" The man sneered and raised his eyebrows slightly: "Why? When you heard that I would not marry that Wang girl, are you tempted again? Oh! You want to be my princess?"
Seeing him teasing her like this, Qin Xiaoning was furious. She said to him angrily: "Who cares? Not to mention being a princess, even if I were to be the queen, I wouldn't care."
After saying that, she turned around and was about to leave, but Lu Ji grabbed her wrist. The man gently pulled her and trapped her in front of him. He stared at her with hawk-like eyes and asked, "Tell me the truth, are you still in love with me? Have you ever been sincere to me?"
Faced with his aggressive questioning, Qin Xiaoning didn't know how to answer and simply turned her head away.
She didn't say anything, and Lu Ji didn't press her any further, so the two of them just remained in a stalemate.
After a long while, Lu Ji finally spoke. He said, "Forget it. You are a complete ungrateful person who is used to pretending to be nice. It is simply a luxury to expect true love from you."
The man's tone was filled with sadness, as well as deep helplessness and disappointment.
Qin Xiaoning's mind was in a mess, and it was not until Lu Ji turned and left that she slowly came to her senses.
Lu Ji said that he didn’t marry Wang Fengyi?
What exactly is going on?
Today, she accidentally ran into Wang's daughter outside, and she was clearly still jealous and hating her.
Lu Ji would not lie about this.
Could it be that the two of them have broken off their engagement?
So who is Lu Ji going to marry?
Qin Xiaoning felt like she was being pawed by a cat.
She hurriedly called Songzhi and told her everything that had just happened. Songzhi's face was full of confusion when he heard it.
"The palace is preparing for a wedding, but the prince is going to marry someone other than a daughter of the Wang family?" The little maid looked at Qin Xiaoning and guessed, "Could it be that the prince wants to marry you?"
Qin Xiaoning smiled bitterly: "How is that possible? If he really wanted to do that, why would he keep it a secret from me?"
Then he said, "Besides, when the eldest grandmother came over yesterday, she also said that the family was busy preparing for the wedding. If he really wanted to marry me, the eldest grandmother and the sixth lady would have told me long ago."
The little woman was full of doubts, and she kept muttering to herself, "Such a big thing, they are so close to me, how could they not tell me?" "That's right." Songzhi said, "Who could it be?"
She had only been away for two or three months, and this Lu Ji had actually broken off the engagement with Wang Fengyi and wanted to marry someone else.
"Could it be that the prince really fell in love with a certain woman?" Songzhi guessed, "So he broke off the engagement with Wang and is so eager to marry that woman? Oh my, this is really strange. Who could make the prince do this?"
Songzhi was confused, and Qin Xiaoning was even more full of questions.
"Go call Fu Lai over." Qin Xiaoning said, "I'll ask him."
Songzhi hurried out to find Fulai. After a while, Fulai bowed and came in. When he saw Qin Xiaoning, he said respectfully, "Madam, you called me here. Is there something wrong?"
Qin Xiaoning sat upright on the couch and said slowly, "Nothing much. I just knew that your prince is getting married, so I wanted to ask about the date."
Fu Lai narrowed his eyes and smiled when he heard this: "I don't know the exact date of the wedding."
This person is actually on guard against her.
Qin Xiaoning's expression couldn't help but become dull.
The old servant who came out of the palace was as shrewd as a human being. Seeing this, he immediately put on a smile and said, "Madam, please don't blame me. Although I am in charge of the affairs of the palace under the favor of the prince, you also know that the prince rarely stays here, so I really don't know about these matters."
This is Lu Ji's man, so naturally he will obey his orders.
"Since you don't know, forget it. I just want to ask about the situation and prepare a gift for the prince and the bride."
After a pause, Qin Xiaoning asked again: "Which noble lady is the new bride that the prince is going to marry? You should know this."
Fulai narrowed his eyes and stammered, "Well, why doesn't Madam go ask the prince herself?"
Seeing this, Song Zhi, who was standing by, snorted and asked, "What's the matter? Our Madam asked you a question, but you don't want to answer her?"
"I dare not, I dare not." Fulai bowed to Qin Xiaoning, his eyes no longer narrowed, and he put on a serious expression, saying repeatedly: "The prince is very strict in controlling his subordinates. This is a private matter of the prince. I dare not speak carelessly. Please forgive me, madam."
Qin Xiaoning frowned when she heard this, and waved her hand, saying, "Forget it, it's not a big deal, you can just go down first."
Since she couldn't get any information out of Fulai, it would be even more impossible for her to get the information she wanted from other people in the palace.
Qin Xiaoning was full of doubts in her mind, feeling lost and at a loss.
She paced back and forth in the room for several times, and finally told Songzhi, "Go and ask them to prepare the car. I need to go to the mansion."
Go back and ask Li Lanchun and others, and everything will become clear.
After a while, the carriage and horses were ready outside. Qin Xiaoning dressed up carefully, brought some suitable gifts to her acquaintances in the mansion, and then hurried out of the hall with the pine branches.
As soon as the two walked out of the second door, they saw Lu Ji standing at the door.
The man had changed into casual clothes at this moment, a dark green brocade robe with a green bamboo pattern and a jade crown on his head, looking handsome and dashing.
It's no different from before.
"Are you going out again?"
When he saw Qin Xiaoning, his tone was gentle, no longer as angry as when the two were together just now.
Qin Xiaoning did not answer him, but asked with a hint of sarcasm: "Do you still want to restrict me? I want to leave the house now, do I still need your approval?"
