Chapter 178 Chapter 178: It's against you

  He Zhiyan nodded with a smile like a hibiscus flower slowly blooming: "Well, I suddenly want to share my dim sum with others, Xiangxiang, can I be friends with you?"

  She looked at Lu Xiang carelessly and expectantly, the enthusiasm and sincerity in her eyes was irresistible.

  She was weak since she was a child. After her father reunited, her stepmother didn't like her, so she and He Zhimin were sisters but had a normal relationship. Because they didn't go out, they had no friends.

   It was also the first time He Zhiyan and Lu Xiang met. Perhaps it was Lu Xiang's kindness towards her that night that made her want to take the initiative to make this friend.

  Lu Xiang was slightly taken aback, and then a little ripple appeared in his eyes.

   "Thanks to Sister Yan's love, I am naturally willing to make you my friend."

  He Zhiyan showed a joyful smile when he heard the words, and there was a kind of beauty in pulling away the clouds and mist to see the sun.

  Obviously she is a patient, but people can feel the warmth emanating from her body.

  Lu Xiang picked up the pastry on the table and ate it. The puff pastry melted in the mouth, and the wick cake was soft and sweet, and the taste was surprisingly good.

"Is it tasty?"

  He Zhiyan looked at Lu Xiang nervously and asked.

  Lu Xiang bent his eyes and smiled: "Well, Sister Yan's craftsmanship is very good."

   As he spoke, he picked up another piece.

  Seeing that Lu Xiang likes to eat, He Zhiyan smiled like a blossoming flower.

   "I collected a lot of plum blossoms and dried them in the sun. I will make plum cakes for you next time. You can also make tea. The taste is amazing."

   "Will it be too much trouble for you?" Lu Xiang smiled.

   "I like to make these, it's not a hassle at all." And now that she has a friend to share with, she is happy to do it.

   Ah Man lay on his stomach at the door, and poked his head in quietly.

   "Miss, what does it smell like? It smells so good."

  Lu Xiang looked at Ah Man with a broken smile, and waved to her.

  Take a piece of each dim sum, put it on a plate and pass it to Ah Man: "Try it with Yun Zhe and the others, Liuliu, I will talk to your lady, and you can eat it together."

  Liu Liu glanced at He Zhiyan, saw her nodding, and followed Ah Man.

  Wu'anhou Mansion

  The vermilion lacquered gate and the bluestone steps all the way up.

   When He Zhiyan returned, he didn't enter through the gate, but sneaked in through the back door with Liuliu.

  Liu Liu carefully looked around, waved to He Zhiyan behind him and said, "Miss, there is no one."

  He Zhiyan hurried in.

   Trotting all the way back to his residence, suddenly a person popped out around the corner.

   "Okay, you guys, actually sneaked out of the house and said, where did you go?"

  He Zhimin put one hand on his waist and held He Zhiyan with the other, questioning.

  Her complexion is extremely fair, as white as cream, with a light layer of rouge on it, delicate and beautiful. She is wearing a silver-patterned embroidered butterfly skirt and a plain velvet embroidered jacket on top.

  He Zhiyan was frightened and staggered back a few steps. Seeing that she was about to fall, Liuliu supported her in time.

   "Fifth Sister, what are you doing? You scared me to death."

  He Zhimin snorted softly: "You must be a guilty conscience. Your mother told you that you are not allowed to leave the house at will. How dare you ignore her words? I will tell my mother and ask her to punish you severely."

   "I am the eldest lady of the He family, not a prisoner." He Zhiyan gritted her teeth.

   It was because she was afraid of such troubles that she took Liuliu out of the house quietly.

   "You're just a sick child. You don't feel comfortable staying in the mansion waiting to die, but you still go out to make trouble. If you don't tell me, I know where you went, right?"

  The entire Marquis of Wu'an Mansion is under her mother's control, and He Zhiyan can't hide it no matter where she goes.

  Going to Lu's house must be to find Lu Xiang.

  Damn it, when He Zhiyan met Lu Xiang, she went to Lu's house without telling her.

   "Fifth sister, I'm tired, so I'll go back first." He Zhiyan bypassed He Zhimin and left.

  He Zhimin stomped his feet angrily, turned around and went to Mrs. Wu'anhou's yard.

  Liu Liu looked back at He Zhimin who had left, with a worried expression on his face: "Miss, what should I do? Miss Wu went to make trouble with the madam, and you are the one who is unlucky."

  Miss Wu relies on her mother as the head of the house, and has always been domineering in the mansion. She likes to fight against the young lady in everything.

   Lord Hou and his wife also spoiled her.

   "Let her go, the left and right are just reprimanded, and the meat is indispensable." She is weak, and her mother dare not physically punish her.

  Liu Liu should be: "But Fifth Miss is very strange, why is she so excited to hear that Miss is going to Lu's house."

  He Zhiyan shook her head: "I don't know, don't worry about it, just go back."

   "Mother, mother..." He Zhimin yelled outside before entering the room.

  It happened that He Yu was also there, seeing his daughter running in quickly, he smiled and said, "Why is it so urgent?"

  He Zhimin blessed Fushen: "Father, eldest sister is too much."

   "What's wrong with Yan'er?" He Yu asked.

  In my impression, this daughter has always been quiet and reclusive, what did she do this time?

   "Everyone sneaked out of the house today and went to Lu's house to find Miss Lu San. She knew Lu Xiang, but she didn't come to report this matter to Mother."

   Madam Wu Anhou was surprised: "When did you meet?"

  He Yu also looked at He Zhimin in surprise.

   "I don't know, but my daughter guesses that we met when we held a banquet at our house a few days ago."

  As long as He Zhiyan leaves the house, she will know immediately.

   I haven't been out in the past few months.

  The only possible time to get acquainted with Lu Xiang is at his own banquet.

  It was so annoying, that day she flirted with Lu Xiang, but Lu Xiang had a cold attitude, but in the blink of an eye, she became very happy with He Zhiyan.

What does it mean?

   Look down on her?

He Zhiyan is just a sick child, who knows how long she can live, she is also the concubine of Marquis Wu'an, and now her brother has been found, everything in the Marquis of Wu'an's mansion will belong to her brother in the future, in terms of nobility, how can He Zhiyan compare to her ?

  The more He Zhimin thought about it, the more angry he became, and he arranged a meal for He Zhiyan with added fuel and vinegar.

   "She is defiant and just wants to take advantage of herself."

  He Yu frowned, lost in thought.

  The third miss of the Lu family is loved by the empress, this status is different, and she is worthy of his son.

   Madam Wu Anhou patted the table angrily: "It's against her."

If Lu Xiang can make friends with the young lady of An Guogong's mansion, maybe her daughter can also show her face in front of the empress. No noble lady in Beijing would want to be treated differently by the empress, even if it is a concubine in the palace. If he can be promoted by the empress, it will be more dignified to go out in the capital in the future.

   "Go, call her here." Mrs. Wu Anhou ordered.

  The maid beside her should be busy to invite He Zhiyan.

   Not long after, He Zhiyan came in.

   "I have seen my father, and my mother is well."

   Madam Wu Anhou squinted at her: "Your wings are stiff now, and I can't control you. I can't be safe when I face you."

  He Zhiyan lowered his voice, secretly biting his lip.

  He Yu also rarely saw his own daughter. Seeing her pale and pitiful face at this moment, he couldn't help but feel a little distressed, and asked softly: "I heard from your sister, did you go to Lu's house today?"
