899 Wife and Concubine (4)


    Madam Lu was smug, but on the surface, she didn’t show it.


    Another short madam smiled and said, “Consort Jing is favored, and your second daughter is married to amander. I heard that she’s pregnant with twins recently. You are really lucky.”


    Madam Lu shook her head and said with a sigh, “But the other two children are giving me a headache.”


    The round-faced madam quickly said in an exaggerated manner, “Madam, why are you worried? The Third Young Master is talented and outstanding in martial arts at such a young age. I wonder which girl will be lucky enough to marry him in the future. As for Fourth Miss, there’s no need to mention her. She’s like an angel and knows Guqin, chess, calligraphy, and painting. Is there a need to worry about her?”


    !!


    “You tter me.” Madam Lu shook her head and smiled bitterly. “I’m not worried about my third son. It’s only right for him to make a name for himself before settling down. But the marriage of my fourth daughter really gives me a headache…”


    “Mother, you’re making things up about me in front of other madams again!” A delicate female voice suddenly sounded. Everyone turned around and saw a young girl appear in the hall. This girl looked to be about 16 or 17 years old. She was wearing a light purple dress with butterfly patterns and a cherry-colored lotus flower. Her hair was tied into a bun and she had a butterfly-shaped pearl hairpin. With the red hairpin, she looked dazzling, like a graceful butterfly fairy walking on the grass in spring.


    This was the fourth miss of the Lu family, Lu Wan’er.


    Madam Lu rubbed her head lovingly and said, “I didn’t make things up about you.”


    Lu Wan’er pouted and stopped talking. She stood in the hall, where there were other youngdies, butpared to her, they looked overshadowed.


    Lu Wan’er looked around arrogantly and said, “Why isn’t Miss Shen from Ming Qi here?”


    Her voice was not low. When the madams and youngdies in the hall heard this, they immediately started whispering.


    Lu Wan’er called Shen Miao “Miss Shen from Ming Qi” instead of Princess Consort Rui”. That exined a lot. Back then, everyone said that the fourth miss of the Lu family was going to marry Prince Rui and be his princess consort. Lu Wan’er was also very satisfied with Prince Rui. Unexpectedly, Shen Miao appeared out of nowhere. The Lu family was unhappy, and Lu Wan’er was even more indignant.


    Most of these madams were here to watch the show. Perhaps they wanted to build a good rtionship with Lu Wan’er. That Miss Shen was now in the limelight, but she was not from Long Ye. Who knew how far she could go? Prince Rui was still young. It was only a matter of time before he married a concubine.


    All in all, Miss Shen did not look like she would have a good ending.


    Madam Lu smiled and said, “Maybe she was dyed by something on the way.”


    “How rude.” Lu Wan’er said unhappily, “The other madams anddies are all here on time, but she’ste. Are there no rules in Ming Qi?”


    As she spoke, a girl with a round face suddenly appeared outside. No one knew when she came in. The girl smiled and said, “Excuse me, is this the Summer Banquet?”


    Madam Lu was stunned for a moment before saying with a smile, “That’s right. Are you Princess Consort Rui?”


    “I’m not.” The girl said, “Princess Consort is here.” As she spoke, she ran out and walked in again, holding a young girl.
