Chapter 381: Can't Keep Indulging Him

Qin Xiaoning drove Lu Ji off the carriage and rode back to the mansion alone. When she entered Qingsong Garden, the servants immediately put down their work and greeted her.

Their attitude was obviously much better than before. Everyone was very respectful and no longer dared to be perfunctory like before.

Qin Xiaoning still nodded slightly and went into the house.

Songzhi dared to speak: "You are really angry now, just abandoning the prince halfway."

Qin Xiaoning unbuttoned her coat and hummed, "He is unreasonable and always makes trouble. We need to teach him a lesson."

"My princess, you are very different from before." The little maid came over to help Qin Xiaoning change her clothes, and she said, "Although you often got angry with the prince in the past, you never dared to be so disrespectful to him."

As she said this, the little maid couldn't help but curl her lips: "He kicked someone out of the car in the street. Tsk tsk, I think the prince's face turned green."

When she entered the palace today, Qin Xiaoning wore a princess dress. Although it was extremely gorgeous, the dress made of gold and silver threads was also very heavy. After taking off the dress, she raised her hand to rub her sore neck and said, "I was just a concubine before, so I was naturally concerned about my status. How could I dare to force him?"

The young woman sat down on the chair, took the ginseng tea brought by Si'er, and drank it slowly while saying, "Now I am his legally married wife, and my status is equal to his. If he does something naughty to me, I will naturally not accommodate him anymore."

As he spoke, he snorted again: "This man has always been unruly. If he is not properly disciplined, he may become even more wild."

The master and servant were talking in the room when Hong'er, who was waiting outside, came in to answer them.

"The prince is back." As a servant, one is best at observing the master's expression. Qin Xiaoning had just returned alone, and the maid had already found out something from Songzhi. So while she was talking to her master, she glanced at her face and said, "I see that the prince's face is not very good, and he looks fierce."

As he was speaking, Lu Ji had already strode into the room. Hong'er hurriedly bowed and retreated. When passing by Lu Ji, the man's cold eyes fell on the little maid like a sharp knife.

The man was in a high position with great power and had a strong aura around him. He also had a cold face. Normally, the maids were all afraid of him. Now, he was glaring at Hong'er like that, which frightened the maids even more.

Hong'er stood there with her head down, not knowing whether to move forward or backward. She could only glance at Qin Xiaoning pitifully for help.

This little maid was brought back by Qin Xiaoning from Qianzhou. Lu Ji had just been angry with her because of Master Wei's matter, and now seeing this little maid from Qianzhou, he took out his anger on Hong'er again.

A man of noble birth and a proud nature will never hide his temper.

"Hong'er, please go out first."

Qin Xiaoning spoke, and the little maidservant hurriedly slipped out as if she had found a savior.

Qin Xiaoning raised her eyes and glanced at Lu Ji lightly, without paying any attention to him. She put down the teacup in her hand, sent all the maids out of the room, then sat down in front of the mirror and began to remove her makeup slowly.

The man stood at the door, his deep eyes were cold and filled with anger, which he suppressed.

For a long while, he didn't speak, just stood there with a gloomy face. He didn't speak, and Qin Xiaoning ignored him, just taking off her head jewelry. "The princess is in a bad temper now." After a long time, the man couldn't help but speak, in a sullen tone.

Qin Xiaoning didn't even raise her eyelids, and replied calmly: "Didn't the prince always say that now that I am the princess, I can't just tolerate and give in blindly and let others bully me."

Lu Ji was choked.

He secretly rolled his eyes at the little woman, then sat down on the chair, and was silent for a long time before he said slowly, "My princess is really capable. She actually used the words I taught you to deal with me."

"Thank you for your praise, Your Highness." The little woman said lightly again.

Lu Ji was choked again.

This time, he couldn't hold it in any longer. He stood up and walked behind his wife, suppressing his anger and said to her, "You kicked me out of the car in the street, not only did you not know your mistake, but you also treated me in such a weird way. What's the reason?"

How could a man as noble as him, the eldest son of a duke's family and the regent of the dynasty, have ever suffered such an injustice?

The man was panting angrily, and his heavy breathing hit Qin Xiaoning's head again and again.

The little woman threw the hairpin in her hand onto the dressing table with a "clack", then slowly turned around, raised her eyes and glanced at the man calmly, and replied in an orderly manner: "I kicked you off the car in the street because you were unreasonable with me. You turned your face away from me when you came back, so I naturally won't say anything good to you."

The little woman sat steadily on the chair, speaking in a serious manner, and her whole body was calm and steady.

On the other hand, the man was speechless after being rebuked by the little woman, but he looked extremely furious, with a gloomy face, and looked like he was about to jump up in anger.

After saying this, Qin Xiaoning stood up, walked around the man and went to the outer room. She called the maid and asked, "Mother-in-law said that the whole family will have a reunion dinner together tonight. Tell the kitchen in front to prepare it well. Madam has a light taste, so be sure to ask the kitchen to pay more attention. Also remember to prepare the roast lamb that mother-in-law likes tonight."

The maidservant agreed to all the requests, and the young woman instructed the steward outside, "The etiquette for the Queen's return home after three days of worship must be well prepared. Go and invite the Third Madam of the East Palace and the Grandmother to come over and discuss it carefully."

After the steward agreed, Qin Xiaoning called Song Zhi over again: "Come on, accompany me to the meeting room, there are still some trivial matters to deal with."

Songzhi agreed and went into the inner room to get a cloak for her master. Seeing that her own prince was still standing there sulking, the little maid was so scared that she dared not breathe. She quietly took the clothes and slipped out. After accompanying Qin Xiaoning out of the room, she whispered in her ear: "The prince is still angry. I see that his face is pale with anger. Are you just going to abandon him like this?"

Qin Xiaoning laughed: "He doesn't care, but he keeps getting angry. What can I do?"

"You don't know the prince's temper." Songzhi glanced at the house and lowered his voice and said, "He just wants you to go along with him. It's not a big deal. As long as you coax him, he will calm down."

Qin Xiaoning naturally knew the man's temper.

If it were in the past, she would definitely rush over and coax him.

Qin Xiaoning snorted and said, "We can't keep pampering him."
