The third Prince who was precisely waiting for this moment to stir trouble for Dong Shen and Qin Xu was shocked, 'wasn't all this the young girl said right now his very lines and wait she didn't get irked instead she looked like as if she was enjoying the show, eating melon and pitting against Dong Shen.'
Even Yan Mellie was having a hard time pulling on the act, 'this Qin Xu did not act by the rules from her way of talking it would seem she doesn't even care for Dong Shen, wait she made everyone think that she is not a infatuated fool like her and if Dong Shen remember her or not has nothing to do with her and she is not interested in her and Dong Shen's story because she doesn't care at all!!'
What Yan Mellie could think each and everyone of the people present there could think better than her.
The Crown Prince was now enjoying the show, after hearing what Qin Xu said it seems she was not actually an infatuated party may be it will be easier to rope her in, maybe he should use his charm although the seventh brother is more handsome then him but with his cold face and chilling unromantic aura no girl will be able to be infatuated with him long and being in love was a far far cry.
Dong Shen greeted his teeth, 'this ugly women discarded him as soon as she smelled trouble, what a heartless being, what happened to that deal of helping each other she was making in the carriage, just big and empty words and no efforts at all he snorted in his heart. '
'And what the hell is this white lotus nonsense, he doesn't even know who this girl is he has never ever met a girl this close in his life the only time was when he married this ugly heartless girl that's it.'
Amongst the Nobel the unscrupulous young marquis Beichen who was know for his black bellied and trouble causing nature and by chance was also the grandson of the previous Emperor spoke up with curiosity.
"Miss Qin Xu, I have a question, may I?. "
Qin Xu saw a young man probably the same age as Dong Shen, good physique tall height and beautiful Phoenix eyes looking at her as if he genuinely had a query which needed to be resolved as soon as possible.
Seeing the sincerity in his voice Qin Xu felt flattered to be asked a question.
Looking at his best friend and cousin who was black bellied to the boot and the expression of seriousness which he, rarely showed Dong Shen had a foreboding feeling, he looked at Luo Beichen with warning to not utter a word.
Lui Beichen completely disregarded his cousin's warning glare instead gave his full focus to his interesting sister in law, " Sister In law you just said that if Miss Meillie keeps on crying the lotuses of this, dragon Palace will turn white? "
Asked Luo Beichen as if to confirm.
Qin Xu nodded and said, "yes yes. "
"How can the plump pink lotus turn white all of a sudden? "
As Luo Beichen had called her sister in law Qin Xu impression of him suddenly improved 'see now finally she met a cultured boy who values etiquettes and traditions otherwise nowadays all people are just bluff. '
Hence the unruly and unscrupulous black bellied young master Luo Beichen became a respectable man of culture and tradition in Qin Xu eyes if the old man of Luo manor were to hear Qin Xu thoughts he would have vomitted a belly full of black blood, 'why cant he see the respectable man of culture and traditions it's all hoax all HOAX.. '
Qin Xu nodded and said, "of course brother in law you don't know in our Quanzhou a merchant's family had a huge lotus Pond having huge plump pink lotuses, one day a women as beautiful as a white lotus cried near the pond asking the merchant to marry her otherwise she will cry herself to death she accused him of sending her love letters and after reading those letters she fell in love with him the merchant had no idea what she was talking about as he never wrote any letters to any other girl except to his wife when they were unmarried.
But the women cried and cried after investigation it was found out that the women wanted to enter the merchant's family as she had unrequited love for the merchant but the merchant was a slow witted man and could not understand the white lotus women's intentions so as the women was a white lotus flowers she cried so much that even the Lotus Pond could not bear her tears and overnight all the lotuses turned white, such is the power of the white lotus."
"So the more beautiful a white lotus is the more powerful they are and with Miss Meillie's abilities I believe her tears can turn all these flowers into white lotuses as well. "
"So scary, sister in law I am so afraid this just looks like witchcraft, you should help your brother in law I don't want the plump pink lotuses in my Luo Manor's lotus pond to turn white. " With that Luo Beichen scooted over towards Qin Xu.
"Don't worry don't worry brother in law with your big sister in law here I ll make sure to find you a good Pink plump and beautiful Lotus so that the pond of your family doesn't turn white overnight with white lotuses."
The banter between these two the sister in law and brother in law was getting out of hand it could be said that Luo Beichen has found his match today, it can be seen that one was composing and the other was really singing on to the tune of other.
Some young noble couldn't control their laughter anymore and soon snickered while hiding their faces as they were still afraid of the cold War Prince Dong Shen.
"Sister in law your families pond is in danger of turning white overnight you should protect it! " Said Luo Beichen.
Yan Mellie was so embarrassed that she wanted to crawl underground she would have never in her wildest dream thought that this country girl was so eloquent with words casually weaving stories and declaring her as a white lotus destroying a beautiful pond, doesn't she mean that she is trying to sow discord, although she did have such intentions but exposing it like this in public was it necessary, she felt utterly humilated. '
Dong shen's face was as dark as a bottom of a pot, he was currently thinking of hacking Yan Meillie to death, Qin Xu was his wife what was her intention of talking so much nonsense to Qin Xu she really thought he was like that foolish merchant and could not see right from wrong hence he spoke with a cold voice.
"Miss Yan I don't know you, in this life I have only ever spoken to one women and has been in close proximity to only one women that too via marriage with Princess Consort Shen that is QinXu, I don't know you and have never seen you as for going to right Prime Minister's mansion in this life I have never stepped a foot inside there hence you should ask your father about the specifics of whom promised whom what and whom to meet when to meet them but I can assure it's not me, I am a newly married person please refrain from scheming against me as you can see I don't want my wife to misunderstand. "
Qin Xu "... "
Luo Beichen "... "
The Spectators "... "
Qin Xu eyed him suspiciously, 'is he trying to portray an image of a living couple in front of everyone now, what happened to his cold face trying to appear as a caring husband. '
It can be said that Qin Xu was right, Dong Shen was really trying to portray an image of a loving and caring husband right now because as smart as he was he noticed the gleam in the eyes of Crown Prince when he was looking at Qin Xu, if he even gave them a slight doubt they will try to infiltrate his manor and till the time he doesn't personally disposes of this women he didn't want to give them the chance to use her against him as a spy.
So it was better to appear all loving and caring.
