Chapter 695 Making something out of nothing

Lou Yulan agreed obediently until the wife of Duke Chengguo took her to wait outside, and the nanny beside the Seventh Prince's wife invited her in.

Lady Chengguo stared at her back for a while before turning around. The maid beside her said respectfully, "Our lady is in the garden. She sent me to invite you to come over and take a walk with her."

Upon hearing this, Lady Chengguo immediately smiled.

This so-called lady was none other than the biological mother of the Seventh Prince's wife. Although she had spent a lot of effort to make friends with her these days, it was always a happy thing to be valued by others now.

What's more, the Song Tingshan couple are so active, don't think she is not on guard against them.

Maybe they are doing this openly in the name of Princess Mingzhu, but secretly want to cling to the Seventh Prince.

She absolutely couldn't let them mess this up...

Otherwise, if the Seventh Prince could really ascend to the throne in the future, this merit of following the Dragon would be enough to ensure the security of Song Tingshan's title.

Therefore, she couldn't let the Seventh Prince's family have any good impression of Song Tingshan. Today, she had to seize the opportunity to pave the way for their An Ge'er.

Thinking of this, Lady Chengguo also quickened her pace.

On the other side, Lou Yulan walked in with a box in her hand, feeling very nervous.

This box was sent to her by someone Shen Shuyi asked. She looked at it carefully and found that it was full of expensive jewelry and head ornaments. They were in excellent condition and worth a lot of money.

After she received the letter that she could meet the Seventh Prince's wife, she sent someone to deliver these things to her and asked her to pass them on to the Seventh Prince's wife as an apology.

Soon, Lou Yulan appeared in front of the Seventh Prince's wife.

She bowed respectfully and said, "I greet the Seventh Prince's Consort!"

"Get up and sit down."

The Seventh Prince's wife was a gentle and kind woman with a slightly round face, which made her look easy to talk to.

This alleviated a lot of the fear in Lou Yulan's heart.

She sat at the bottom stiffly, and glanced at the decoration and layout of the room.

But this sight made Lou Yulan think of Shen Shuyi again.

The decoration and furnishings in this room all looked good, and it was obvious at a glance that they were not ordinary items, but she couldn't tell why. Just by looking at it, she felt that it was much worse than Shen Shuyi's yard...

It’s not that it’s not luxurious enough, but I just feel that every blade of grass and every tree in Shen Shuyi’s yard seems to be exquisite, and exudes an indescribable sense of freedom.

"I heard from mother that you asked the wife of Duke Chengguo to help you and have always wanted to see me, but we have probably never met before, right?" Wei Chenxi, the Seventh Prince's Consort, looked at Lou Yulan in front of her calmly.

Lou Yulan immediately collected her thoughts and spoke respectfully: "It is my fault for being so abrupt. I have no choice but to come to see you. Please forgive me."

Wei Chenxi asked someone to pour her a cup of tea and said in a gentle tone: "Don't be nervous, just tell me what you want to say. If I can help, I will definitely help, but there are some things that I can't do anything about..."

Wei Chenxi seemed to be a kind person, and his words calmed Lou Yulan down a lot.

"I was entrusted by someone. My cousin is the Princess Mingzhu, who was conferred the title by His Majesty. It's just that she seemed to have offended you a few days ago, so she asked me to mediate and apologize to you..."

Lou Yulan explained the whole story, but Wei Chenxi was a little confused.

Princess Mingzhu?

Shen Shuyi from the Shangshu Mansion?

She followed Lou Yulan's words and thought about it carefully, and felt that she seemed to have never had any intersection with her, let alone any dirty work.

When did she ever offend herself?

Wei Chenxi looked at Lou Yulan, and Lou Yulan quickly pushed the box in her hand forward.

What I saw was a letter placed on top of a box of jewelry.

"This is my cousin's gift to you as an apology. Please accept it."

Wei Chenxi didn't move, but took the letter, opened it, and read it carefully.

Lou Yulan's heart was clenched tightly, and she felt extremely nervous.

Shen Shuyi's letter was not sealed with wax, so she read it secretly and found nothing special. She then gave it to the Seventh Prince's wife to avoid being used by others and implicated in the Crown Prince.

[I, Shen Shuyi, once saw the elegance of the Seventh Prince's wife at a palace banquet a few years ago. However, out of fear, I accidentally bumped into you, which made me unhappy. I was deeply terrified. Later, I learned that you were the wife of His Majesty the Seventh Prince, and I felt even more ashamed. His Majesty the Seventh Prince is wise and great. I was once saved by His Majesty in a small hunting ground outside the capital, so...]

After reading these words, Wei Chenxi was confused.

But anyone who can sit in the position of the prince's consort is not a fool.

Wei Chenxi put down the letter, his mind racing.

First of all, she and Shen Shuyi didn't know each other, let alone any so-called conflict. Secondly, she had never heard her husband mention saving her at the hunting ground outside Beijing?

Although Wei Chenxi didn't understand the intention behind this, he didn't say anything.

Facing Lou Yulan's eager gaze, he said, "I appreciate Princess Mingzhu's kindness. You can just take these things back. I don't take them to heart. I will invite her to my house for tea some other day."

Lou Yulan showed a look of joy, so, the Seventh Prince's wife... accepted the apology?

"Thank you, Seventh Prince Consort!"

Wei Chenxi looked at her with a smile: "How is the health of the prince?"

Speaking of this, the smile on Lou Yulan's face faded again: "The prince's health is getting worse and worse. He often coughs heavily at night, and even coughs up blood."

Wei Chenxi sighed: "Although the weather is warm now, you must not be careless. You are his wife, so you have to work harder."

"Yes, thank you for your suggestion."

After Lou Yulan left with the things, she waited for a while in the carriage outside, and then the wife of Duke Chengguo came out with a happy face.

"Is it settled so quickly?" Lady Chengguo asked calmly.

"Yes, thank you for your care, mother." Lou Yulan said respectfully.

Lady Chengguo smiled and said, "The Seventh Prince's wife is the kindest person, and His Royal Highness the Seventh Prince is also good at fighting and easy to talk to. You can rest assured."

*

On the other side, after Lou Yulan left, Wei Chenxi took Shen Shuyi's letter and read it over and over again for a long time.

"Has His Highness returned? If so, please ask him to come to my place."

"Yes."

Half an hour later, Xiao Ziqian came hurriedly and asked as soon as he entered the door: "What happened?"

Wei Chenxi walked over with a smile and told him what happened today in detail.

Xiao Ziqian narrowed his eyes, took the letter and read it carefully.

"I have never met Princess Mingzhu in the hunting grounds."

Wei Chenxi reminded again: "It's a small hunting ground."

Xiao Ziqian was stunned for a moment. Small hunting ground?

There is only one royal hunting ground outside the capital. Adjacent to the royal hunting ground is a small hunting ground that was expanded by my father from the hunting ground and was later awarded to my third brother Xiao Heyu.

Now, the third brother was demoted to a commoner, but this letter happened to mention the third brother's hunting ground and deducted some of the credit from him.

Why is it possible to create something out of nothing?

"Wait, who do you think sent this letter?" Xiao Ziqian asked.

"She is the concubine of Song Tingshan, the son of the Duke of Chengguo."
