Chapter 247: Visitors to Wanqiu Garden
While Lou Hong was still feeling anxious in front of the old lady, he heard Lou Xiao submit a memorial to His Majesty.
I went to Wanqiu Garden, which was given to me by His Majesty on the outskirts of the city, to escape the summer heat.
Her ignoring him made Lou Hong more anxious than if he had called him in for a talk.
He wanted to explain to her that it was not his intention to let anyone go to Yusheng Courtyard without permission, but the old lady stopped him in his tracks.
"It is the primary concern of the head of a family to have more children and branches. What's wrong with having a few more people to serve? Why is she so stingy?"
I think it's because of Lou Xiao's good temper that people feel she is easy to get along with. The old lady doesn't know what she did in Yunsu City, and she still thinks her ideas are right.
Lou Hong couldn't argue with the old man and pointed out a fact.
"His Majesty asked her in the palace to choose a few servants for her, but she refused. How could she be interested in those men?
"Old Ancestor, please don't bother her, okay? His Majesty loves her dearly and will always choose a good husband for her. If we interfere, His Majesty will be displeased if he sees us."
The old lady was still afraid of Her Majesty the Queen, so she muttered a few words and then stopped talking.
Lou Hong planned to send some daily necessities to Lou Xiao's Wanqiu Garden. The Duke of Zhenguo left them and they did nothing, which would make them laugh to death by the families in the capital.
Going to the suburbs to escape the heat is a must for the nobles in Beijing every summer.
It’s just that the Duke of Zhenguo seemed to be particularly afraid of heat. He went to the suburbs early when it was not yet too hot. He was even more delicate than them.
Lou Xiao came to Wanqiu Garden just for some peace and quiet, with Jiubai by his side. The huge Wanqiu Garden was as quiet as the days and nights in Yunwu Mountain.
It was quiet enough for Lou Xiao to try to meditate as she did before.
In Wanqiu Garden, she could often be seen sitting motionless in the yard, like a stone statue, cold and lifeless.
Jiubai listened to Lou Xiao's words and did not disturb her. After finishing his own work, he went to tidy up the corner, and then went outside to find some flowers and plants to plant.
So that Wanqiu Garden will look lively.
Lou Xiao did not leave Wanqiu Garden, and adjusted her mentality at ease.
As the temperature got hotter, some nobles in the capital began to head to the summer resorts outside the city.
Along the way, it was inevitable that he would meet someone familiar and greet him. Jiubai would chatter about the gossip nearby.
I learned from outsiders that his young lady had gone to Yunsu City before and wiped out the family members without any ambiguity.
Jiubai never doubted how ruthless his young lady was.
Lou Xiao thought that things would get better slowly without anyone disturbing her, but she didn't expect the symptoms to get worse.
She had never been so eager for a fight as she was now, but there was only Jiubai in Wanqiu Garden.
If she opened it wider, she would see all the unarmed people there. She didn't want to implicate others.
So she looks pure and indifferent on the surface, but now she is actually very irritable.
It just depends on which of the blind people comes forward. Lou Xiao is almost giving up the desire to take action himself.
Someone actually came forward. It was Lou Hong who brought a huge carriage.
He originally wanted to say something to Lou Xiao, but seeing that she was sitting cross-legged for a long time and didn't seem to want to talk to anyone, Lou Hong decided not to say anything to disturb her.
But the person who came later was Ai Ying.
It seemed that they had not had enough fun fighting that day. Li Huaiqing knew that Lou Xiao had no intention of getting together with him, so he sent Ai Ying to help him ease his relationship with her.
This was just as Ai Ying wanted. He also really wanted to have more contact with Lou Xiao. What happened to Li Huaiqing had nothing to do with him. He had done his best to protect Li Huaiqing these days.
