Chapter 326 Verification
Qin Xiaoning did not answer him, but asked with a hint of sarcasm: "I want to leave the house now, do I still need your approval?"

Lu Ji crossed his arms and looked at the little woman leisurely. He snorted inaudibly and said, "Now you are too arrogant and have grown wings. I can't control you even if I want to."

Qin Xiaoning didn't say a word, glanced at him secretly, and was about to leave. When she passed Lu Ji, the man grabbed her wrist.

"You are dressed so exquisitely, you are not going out to meet a gigolo, are you?" Lu Ji looked at her, his voice slightly cold.

The little woman rolled her eyes at him and snorted, "What nonsense are you talking about? I want to go back to the mansion."

Having said that, she shook off the man's hand and tried to get into the carriage. Just as the little woman's hand grasped the carriage door, she felt her waist tighten and was easily carried into the carriage by the man.

"Thank you." Qin Xiaoning sat down in the car and said to him with her eyes lowered.

With the driver's shout, the carriage rolled out of the palace gate, and Lu Ji followed on horseback. Qin Xiaoning leaned out of the carriage and asked him, "Are you going back too?"

"No." Lu Ji said, "I have some political affairs to attend to, it's just on the way."

It turned out to be the case.

Qin Xiaoning was about to sit back down when she heard the man ask, "Why are you back at the mansion?"

"It's just a visit to an old friend." Qin Xiaoning sat back on the couch in the carriage and said casually.

Lu Ji was happy.

Although it was very light, Qin Xiaoning still captured it keenly.

"What are you laughing at?" she asked.

The man turned his head and saw a pretty little woman sitting in the carriage. There was a hint of vigilance on her delicate face like a lotus, and the look in her eyes when she looked at him was still somewhat fierce.

Lu Ji smiled again and asked her, "Why do you suddenly want to go back to the mansion?"

Qin Xiaoning asked back: "Why? Is it not possible?"

Lu Ji said, "If I say no, you won't go? Will you listen to me?"

Qin Xiaoning didn't want to argue with him in such a childish way on the street, so she hummed, shut her mouth and ignored the man.

Seeing this, Lu Ji also turned his head back, sat on the tall horse, and looked forward.

As the carriage passed through the long street and was about to enter the alley, the man turned his head again, with a playful smile on his face, and said to the little woman in the carriage: "I know why you are going back."

Qin Xiaoning was taking a nap against the wall of the car. After hearing Lu Ji's unreasonable words, she blurted out, "Then tell me, why should I go back?"

Lu Ji was amused and raised his eyebrows slightly at her: "You want to go back and ask about this king, right?"

As she spoke, she leaned down, staring at her with deep eyes, and a bit of mischief appeared on her handsome face: "You have a lot of things in your mind, right? Then just come and ask me, why go around asking others? Aren't you tired?"

The man suddenly hit the nail on the head. The little woman rolled her eyes at him angrily and raised her hand to close the car window, but was stopped by the man's big hand.

"Do you think you can hide your little thoughts from me?" He raised his eyebrows at her, his tone still naughty: "I will give you a chance now, ask whatever you want to ask. If you miss this opportunity, I will ignore you if you ask me again."

It's extremely naughty.

He was completely different from his usual calm and steady self.

Qin Xiaoning rolled her eyes at him, pointed at him and mocked him, "Look at you, you are not serious at all, you don't look like a regent at all." After that, she took his big hand away and slammed the car window shut.

Refusing to pay attention to him anymore.

It was not until the carriage arrived in front of the high gate of the mansion that Qin Xiaoning opened the door from the inside. Lu Ji was already standing under the carriage, stretching out his arm toward her. In front of a group of servants, Qin Xiaoning gave him a favor and let him carry her out of the carriage.

But she didn't even look at him. After he carried her out of the carriage, she walked straight into the mansion.

Lu Ji had been standing behind her and watching her. When she entered the mansion, she heard the man calling out to her from behind, "Go in and find out more about this king, so you don't feel so uneasy."

As the man shouted nonsense, all the servants at the gate focused their eyes on Qin Xiaoning.

Qin Xiaoning's face turned red.

She couldn't help but turn around and give Lu Ji a cold look, and snorted, "I came back to see an old friend, who wants to ask about you."

Lu Ji was amused, and stood there with his arms folded, saying calmly, "Then you better hold back, and it's best not to ask a single question."

He smiled sarcastically as if he saw through her thoughts: "Otherwise, you will be slapping yourself in the face."

Qin Xiaoning rolled her eyes at him again, twisted her waist, and stepped into the high door.

At this time, the mansion was decorated with red and green everywhere, and big red wedding characters were pasted on the walls.

Qin Xiaoning grew up in a wealthy family, so she naturally knew this. It was the decoration that would be seen at weddings in wealthy families.

There are only four young masters in the mansion. The eldest son Lu Yu and the third son Lu Ning have already married, the fourth son is not yet twenty, and the two unmarried girls, the fifth and sixth girls, have not yet been engaged. So it can only be Lu Ji's happy event.

Ho! This guy is really going to get married.

Before coming here, Qin Xiaoning still held a glimmer of hope in her heart, but now it is completely gone.

Thinking of Lu Ji's teasing in front of her just now, she felt even more angry.

I also hate myself for being useless. It's up to him to marry whoever he wants. Why does he have to ask about this so eagerly?

Songzhi followed Qin Xiaoning into the inner courtyard. Seeing that the inner courtyard was decorated more festively, the little maid couldn't help but feel jealous: "The prince is really going to get married? Oh!"

Qin Xiaoning snorted coldly: "Men are indeed all heartless."

Songzhi was puzzled: "In the past, so many noble ladies rushed to marry the prince, but the prince didn't even look at them. Now he just broke his promise with Wang's daughter and is going to marry someone else. I think this is a bit strange."

Glancing at the big red silk wedding characters printed everywhere, Qin Xiaoning said with a wooden face, "It was Lu Ji who said that he broke off the engagement with Wang Fengyi. Who knows if it's true or not?"

She snorted coldly: "Maybe he is just lying to cover up his guilty conscience."

"No way." Songzhi frowned and said, "The prince would not talk nonsense about such a thing. Besides, there is no need for him to lie to you."

The little maid was confused, and Qin Xiaoning was even more upset, like a cat's paw.

After all, he was the man she had loved for so many years. Now she saw him marrying someone else, and she didn't know who he was marrying. No matter who it was, she couldn't help but feel curious and upset.

"Let's go quickly and talk after we see the eldest lady." The little woman frowned, her almond-shaped eyes were misty, and she urged the little maidservant while her steps quickened.
