Xiao Huan was very worried. It was not because her young lady had sneaked out of the mansion. In this dynasty, women were not strictly disciplined. Even if she went out of the mansion to play with men, she would not be criticized. This was a small matter. What she was worried about was that her young lady was now using a pseudonym to communicate with Master Gu...

While some people worry, others are naturally happy...

Zhao Lexuan was extremely happy at this moment. She had originally intended to go to Shangshu Mansion to look for her Qingqing, but because she was too excited, she hurried out. Halfway through, she realized that she had come to the house without bringing anything. This was the first time she felt that she was reckless, so she quickly turned around and went to the street. Just as she was thinking about what to buy, she actually saw the maid next to Qingqing. This was fate!

Seeing Princess Lening walking towards her, Xiaohuan originally wanted to say that she was just out to do something, but then she thought of her own young lady who was anxiously waiting for her to find the sachet, so she had to say that her young lady was upstairs.

The next moment, she was pulled upstairs by Princess Lening. Zhao Lexuan hurried upstairs, and after reaching the third floor and confirming which room it was, she rushed forward and opened the door of the private room.

Then she saw Qingqing looking at her in surprise! ? Before she could even finish the word Qingqing, she opened her mouth in surprise and looked at her cousin in surprise! Xiao Yuebai! An inexplicable emotion surged in her heart.

Xiao Yuebai was also stunned, and then his heart tightened. He didn't expect Zhao Lexuan to suddenly come in. He wondered why this troublemaker came. He couldn't reveal his identity so early! He spoke quickly.

"Isn't this Princess Lening? Why is she here? I remember the last time the Princess and I met was at the Earl's Mansion. At that time, my grandmother was celebrating her birthday, and the Princess and the eldest princess were present. Counting the days, it's been a long time since I last saw the Princess."

He threatened the other party with his eyes while speaking. Zhao Lexuan was stunned. What Gu? What birthday? Did my cousin have a brain damage due to the great shock after being abandoned?

Then he looked up and saw his cousin's dangerous eyes, and his mind seemed to be struck, and then he looked at Qingqing who was sitting opposite his cousin. After glancing back and forth between the two of them several times, he finally understood what his cousin meant.

He stammered and continued, "Mr. Gu is right. It's been a long time since we last met. Is Madam Gu okay?"

Seeing that his cousin did not let him down, understood what he meant, and even started to talk back, Xiao Yuebai breathed a sigh of relief and quickly continued to reveal to her the identity information he was currently disguising.

"Recently, I have also been living in the Earl's Mansion. Grandmother has been in good health. Thank you for your concern, Princess. When Zishu returns, he will definitely tell Grandmother and everyone in the mansion about his concern. I'm sure my cousin Gu Shen will be very happy too."

Zhao Lexuan raised her eyebrows after hearing this. It turned out that her eldest cousin had made up such an identity for Qingqing. Isn't Zishu her cousin's courtesy name? But few people know about it.

His eyes returned to the beauty, and looking at her moving beauty, he became excited again, and went forward to hug the beauty.

"Qingqing, I haven't seen you for several days. I miss you so much."

When Lu Qingxi heard the princess calling her name, she blinked several times. She felt relieved again. Fortunately, there was no difference in pronunciation between Qingqing and Qingqing. But the next moment, she was worried again. Xiao Yuebai on the other side suddenly spoke...

"I wonder why Princess Lening is so familiar with Wanqing?"

Zhao Lexuan was stunned again. Wanqing? Huh? ! My Qingqing also used a fake identity!! Good guy!! She quickly moved her little brain and looked at the beauty beside her whose expression became a little unnatural, lowering her head to avoid her sight. She felt a little distressed, but of course she didn't intend to expose the beauty! She turned her gaze to her eldest cousin, her eyes full of teasing.

"What's wrong with my good relationship with Qingqing? Mr. Gu, just don't worry about it." I felt secretly happy. If you can threaten me, forget about knowing the true identity of this beauty!

When Xiao Yuebai heard what Zhao Lexuan said, he just thought that she was showing off her good relationship with Lu Qingxi. When he saw Zhao Lexuan's whole body pressed against Lu Qingxi and holding the woman's right hand in his arms, he sighed a little. She was indeed worthy of showing off and was quite enviable.

When everyone at the scene calmed down, they thought of Lu Qingxi's lost sachet. Everyone looked at the door. Xiaohuan saw everyone looking at her and ran to her mistress aggrievedly.

"Miss, you finally remembered me. Xiaohuan helped you find the sachet." After saying that, he put the sachet in his hand into the hands of his young lady.

Lu Qingxi finally calmed down holding the sachet in her hand, thinking that it was a good thing she didn't lose it, otherwise she would have let her grandmother down.

In the following time, Zhao Lexuan kept talking to Lu Qingxi, and Xiao Yuebai didn't say a word. He felt angry and amused.

Zhao Lexuan thought about the purpose of her shopping, stood up, and pulled Lu Qingxi to leave. As they walked, she said:

"I came out here just to pick out a gift for Qingqing. Now that I've met her, I'll let Qingqing go with me."

When I got to the door, I turned around and looked at my cousin who had been forcing himself to smile since I barged in...

"I plan to take Qingqing to visit the Treasure Pavilion. Mr. Gu is a man, so it may not be convenient for him to go with us." It was the first time that Zhao Lexuan was able to be so presumptuous in front of this elder cousin. She almost set off firecrackers in her heart.

At this moment, Xiao Yuebai really wanted to get angry. This girl Zhao Lexuan actually... in front of him. But when he saw the woman next to her, he held back.

The next second, Zhao Lexuan heard her cousin's cold voice. "It's okay, as long as Princess Lening and Wanqing are happy."

Zhao Lexuan suddenly became depressed. According to the usual practice, the calmer her tone, the angrier she was! She didn't dare to look at her cousin, nor did she dare to stay for long. She quickly pulled Lu Qingxi down the stairs... Xiaohuan beside her quickly put a veil on her young lady, and then followed behind the two of them.

Zhao Lexuan and Lu Qingxi left the private room, feeling very relaxed. They walked on the busy street, enjoying the sunshine, with laughter and conversation. Soon, they arrived at the door of the Treasure Pavilion.

Zhenbao Pavilion is a famous jewelry and jade shop in Beijing, with a long history and profound heritage. Every item in Zhenbao Pavilion is carefully selected, and both the material and craftsmanship are top-notch. Therefore, this place not only attracts many dignitaries, but even the nobles in the palace will send people to buy.

Zhao Lexuan took Lu Qingxi's hand and walked in impatiently. In the treasure pavilion, the dazzling array of jewels and jades was dazzling. Zhao Lexuan took Lu Qingxi to look left and right, asking her opinion from time to time. Lu Qingxi was also attracted by these beautiful jewels, with curiosity flashing in her eyes.

As the two were immersed in the world of jewelry, a whispering sound reached their ears. Zhao Lexuan looked in the direction of the sound and saw a group of people gathered behind a screen, seemingly discussing something. She curiously moved closer, but heard some unbearable words.

"I heard that Lu Qingxi really overestimated his own abilities and even dared to frame his own eldest sister."

"Yeah, you don't even consider your own status. You actually dare to do such a disrespectful thing."

"It is said that she still dares not reveal her true appearance. Maybe her face has been disfigured. It seems that she didn't look very good before."

"I heard that her mother died early, and no one in the Duke's Mansion paid attention to her. She is uneducated."

The more Zhao Lexuan listened, the angrier she became. She never thought that these people would slander her beauty like this. She decided to stand up for Lu Qingxi and teach these people a lesson.

She turned back to Lu Qingxi and whispered, "Qingqing, stay here and don't move. I'll go take care of it." After that, she strode towards the group of people.

"Le Xuan, you don't have to go..." Lu Qingxi didn't care about those words at all. After the polo match, she had let it go. It was all about her past life, so there was no need for her to be sad. But she couldn't stop the furious Zhao Le Xuan.

Zhao Lexuan walked to the screen and said loudly and bluntly: "Who is gossiping behind my back? If you have the guts, please come out and speak!" As soon as she finished speaking, the group of people showed surprised expressions. They didn't expect that someone would dare to stand up and refute them so directly.

After a while, a woman in gorgeous clothes stood up. She looked at Zhao Lexuan with disdain and said, "It turned out to be Princess Lening. We were just chatting for a few minutes, why is the princess so angry?"

Zhao Lexuan sneered and said, "Chatting? Qi Yutong, I heard everything you said clearly. What nonsense are you talking about here? I know very well what kind of person Lu Qingxi is. She is a kind-hearted and smart woman. As for her appearance, it is not what you guessed. You have not seen her, so you are not qualified to comment here."

The group of people were speechless after hearing what Zhao Lexuan said. They didn't expect anyone to stand up and speak for Lu Qingxi. But they heard Zhao Lexuan continue. "Talking bad about people behind their backs, is that how you gossip? Qi Yutong, you are a young lady from a marquisate, but you are so restrained! You drag your sisters along to discuss other people's right and wrong every day? What a joke!"

A group of people were shocked by Zhao Lexuan's momentum and were speechless for a while. If Gu Rou was here, she would be so angry that her face would turn blue. She wanted to rely on Qi Yutong to spread rumors behind her to ruin Lu Qingxi's reputation and let the rumors suppress her, but she didn't expect Zhao Lexuan to stand up and refute so directly...
