When Lu Xinyao heard this, her face turned pale and her fingers pulled the hem of her skirt tighter.

Princess Hua'an was obviously also heard some gossip and felt a little uncomfortable when she heard it.

She glanced at Lu Xinyao and coughed lightly.

"The people outside like to gossip, just listen, there's no need to take it to heart."

Xia Yifei shook his head, his tone was always neither hurry nor slow.

"The person who said those words was not someone else, Juro from the Cui family. Hasn't my mother been walking with the Cui family recently? You should be trying to tell Miss Lu to Cui Juro."

Princess Hua'an choked.

Having said that, she didn't understand anything else?

Cui Shiro looked down on Lu Xinyao, but due to the pressure from his elders in his family, he could not refuse this marriage and could only complain to others about it. The words were too harsh.

Xia Yifei happened to hear it, and he felt sorry for Lu Xinyao, thinking that instead of letting Lu Xinyao marry such a scumbag, it would be better to marry her by yourself.

When Lu Xinyao heard this, her eyes turned red.

She thought she would be like this in her life, but she didn't expect that there would be someone who would protect her like this.

Such warmth made her feel grateful from the bottom of her heart.

In front of her elders, she didn't dare to cry, and could only swallow her tears back desperately, because she tried too hard and her body trembled a little.

Princess Hua'an couldn't bear it.

Her tone then eased.

"I didn't do this matter carefully enough. I didn't expect that Juro from the Choi family was such a person.

I originally thought that although the Cui family has declined, at least it still has the foundation passed down from ancestors. No matter how bad it is, it is not much worse.

In addition, the wife of the Cui family was quite satisfied with this marriage, so I thought about getting you and Cui Shiro together.

That's the same with Choi Juro. If you don't want to, just say it directly, why bother slander your reputation outside?"

Lu Xinyao shook her head and choked and said, "It has nothing to do with Your Highness. I was born in the Lu family. The honor, disgrace, rise and fall of the Lu family are closely related to me. Now that the Lu family has become like this, I cannot stay out of it. It is normal for those outside to look down on me."

Xia Yifei frowned and disagreed with authenticity.

"Although your surname is Lu, you are just a weak female and cannot interfere in the decisions at home. After all, you are just implicated. You have not done anything wrong, there is no need to look down on yourself because of this, just be yourself."

Lu Xinyao opened her red eyes and stared at him in a daze

Everyone told her that she should work hard to be self-reliant, marry a good family, and work hard to pull out the Lu family.

Xia Yifei was the only one who told her—

You did nothing wrong, there is no need to underestimate yourself.

Just be yourself.

A few short sentences made Lu Xinyao's heart beat violently.

Tears fell down unsatisfactorily.

If this is another man, he would definitely hand over a handkerchief and comfort him when he saw a girl crying like a flower.

Xia Yifei just frowned and looked at her.

"Why are you crying? If you don't want to marry me, you can tell me it directly, and I won't force it."

It’s not that he wouldn’t marry Lu Xinyao. He actually sympathized with the girl’s experience. In addition, he was at the age of getting married. Even if he didn’t marry Lu Xinyao, he would have to marry another woman.

Rather than marrying a woman he doesn't know, he might as well marry Lu Xinyao.

At least this girl is honest and has no bad intentions.

Lu Xinyao hurriedly wiped her tears with her sleeves and said choking.

"No, I don't want to, I just, just..."

She didn't know how to explain her thoughts at this time, so she was so anxious.

The more anxious you are, the less speechless you are.

Seeing that Lu Xinyao was about to cry again, Princess Hua'an finally couldn't stand it anymore and frowned and said.

"Okay, marriage is not a joke, it's not something you can decide in a few words. You have to make a long-term plan. Xinyao, go back to the house first, don't talk nonsense about this matter. As for your affairs with Cui Juro, you don't have to worry. Since I know that he is such a person, I will not push you into the fire pit against my conscience."

When Lu Xinyao heard the last sentence, she was extremely moved.

Although her situation is very difficult now, she has met many good people.

Xia Yifei is counted as one, and Hua'an Chang Princess is counted as one.

God treats her well.

Lu Xinyao said with tears in her eyes: "Thank you, Your Highness, and thank you Mr. Xia."

She stood up and wiped her tears and retreated.

Princess Huaan looked at her son and was about to teach him a lesson that he was too impulsive when she heard the maid's voice outside the door.

"Your Highness, Princess, Eunuch Gan is here and is waiting for you in the flower hall."

Princess Hua'an said to Xia Yifei.

"You go back first, don't go to see Xinyao recently. I know your marriage, so don't mess around."

Xia Yifei nodded and said that he knew.

Princess Hua'an went to the flower hall.

Gan Fu stood up to greet him.

The two chatted for a few words at first, and then Gan Fu pulled out a letter from his sleeve.

"This is what the Empress Dowager asked the slave to give to you."

After Princess Hua'an received the letter, Gan Fu stood up and bowed to her.

"The slave still has to go back and report his life and say goodbye."

Princess Hua'an asked the housekeeper to send him out.

To avoid attracting others' attention, they quietly left through the back door.

Princess Hua'an opened the envelope, took out the letter paper, and after reading the contents of the letter, she showed a thoughtful expression.

She kneaded the paper into a ball and soaked it in the teacup.

Until the tea water completely melted the handwriting on the letter paper.

Then she asked someone to come in and clean up the teacup.

...

Since leaving Taimiao, Concubine Turtle has been worried.

She always felt that the imperial concubine seemed to have noticed something, and was worried that the imperial concubine would attack her.

In order to avoid falling into the trap of the imperial concubine, as soon as the concubine returned to Yanyu Palace, she immediately asked someone to close the gate of Yanyu Palace and not meet anyone.

She had insomnia at night and tossed and turned in bed, but couldn't sleep.

It's so difficult to survive until dawn.

Because she didn't sleep well, the concubine was in a bad mood and was sick and depressed.

Seeing this, Liuxiu asked worriedly.

"You don't seem to feel comfortable. Do you want the imperial physician to show you?"

The Concubine Tuberculosis knew that she was a heart disease and that seeing an imperial physician was useless.

She waved her hand and said she didn't need it.

A little eunuch walked in and asked respectfully.

"Empress, Princess Hua'an just now sent a letter to the palace and wanted to visit you."

The concubine reached out to take the greeting letter, opened it and looked at it.

The post said that Princess Hua'an Chang learned that the concubine of Tuberculosis had been unwell recently and wanted to go to the palace to visit the concubine of Tuberculosis, and beg the concubine of Tuberculosis to allow it.

Liu Xu was very curious: "Princess Hua'an Chang has never had any contact with you, so why did you suddenly want to visit you?"

The concubine closed the prayer letter and pursed her lips and smiled.

"Although Princess Hua'an has no contact with me, she has contact with the Empress Dowager."

She just left the Taimiao yesterday, and today Princess Hua'an sent someone to send a message to the palace.

It was obviously because the Empress Dowager realized that something was wrong and wanted Princess Hua'an to come to the palace to inquire.
