The eldest lady is reborn, get out of the way!

Princess Boyang's mood was very up and down, and the servants in the room didn't dare to breathe.

Fu Li put the last phoenix hairpin on her hair and whispered, "Your Highness, please be patient. In my opinion, the proposal of marriage is feasible."

Princess Boyang seemed to be thinking about something when she heard this.

It is true that someone was plotting against Jiang family's Xiao Zhiyue and Wubing.

The person behind this must be trying to cause trouble by taking advantage of the fact that he stays away from women even though he is healthy.

But if she took people to the Duke of England's mansion to propose marriage, this problem would not be easily solved, but at least the target would not be focused on Xiao Zhiyue.

"Go! You still have to go."

Princess Boyang made the final decision. Regardless of whether this matter was successful or not, the marriage had to be proposed.

If the marriage can be successful, everyone will be happy; if it cannot be successful, it is a blessing that one does not have.

After the marriage proposal, the people behind the scenes who wanted to slander Xiao Zhiyue's reputation would not succeed.

Princess Boyang's expression became more and more indifferent. "Wubing is not careful enough. The girl is so young. If anything is spread with him, she will be the only one to suffer."

Seeing that Princess Boyang was really angry, Fu Li stopped trying to persuade her.

The eldest princess particularly loved the young master and was very strict in his education, teaching him with the upright heart of a gentleman.

Therefore, there were rumors that the young general acted coldly and cruelly, but no one spoke highly of his character.

Today's rumors are bold enough, using the young master's name to tarnish the reputation of the Sixth Miss Jiang. The people behind the scenes must be planning more than that.

The eldest princess hated people using her reputation to scheme against her the most in her life, and this incident really touched her sore spot.

The eldest princess stood up and Fu Li stepped forward to support her.

After leaving the inner room, a maid came forward with a lantern to lead the way, and the eldest princess's face became increasingly unsightly.

When she reached the study and saw that the light was on, the princess knew that someone had arrived.

Fu Li walked forward and pushed the door open, and the eldest princess walked in gracefully.

Lu Qingxiao bowed and saluted: "Mother."

After the princess took her seat, she slowly raised her eyes to look at him and said, "That's how I taught you before. You acted too rashly today."

"If rumors spread, it will only damage the woman's reputation."

"Do you know you were wrong?"

Lu Qingxiao already knew the rumors told by Duke Lu on his way here, and he knelt down without saying a word when he heard the eldest princess's questioning.

"My son knows his mistake."

The princess' expression did not ease, instead she squinted her eyes and looked at him: "Tell me the truth, are you trying to use this method to threaten Xiao Zhiyue?"

Lu Qingxiao was stunned, then frowned: "That's not my intention!"

Duke Lu's expression also changed, and he said solemnly: "Your Highness..."

The eldest princess stared at her son's expression. After a long while, she slowly let out a breath and asked Lu Qingxiao to stand up.

"My mother believes in you, but she is afraid that you will lose your sense of propriety."

Lu Qingxiao's expression was cold, "If you lose your sense of propriety because of favoritism, it is no longer favoritism."

"I treat her not out of favoritism, but out of love for her. I cherish her so much that I can't bear to plot against her."

The princess' expression relaxed after hearing this, and she sighed, "Now that you put it this way, I understand. I'm afraid that you'll fall in love for the first time and go astray."

Duke Lu said quickly: "Wubing was not good at love in the past, but his character is beyond doubt."

The princess glanced at Duke Lu and said, "I know. I am just worried."

"Rumors about Wubing and Xiao Zhiyue have spread. What does Wubing, a man, have to worry about? Shouldn't he be worried about Xiao Zhiyue?"

"She has been having a lot of bad luck lately. There have already been some rumors about the son of Marquis Guangchang, and now there are rumors about her. It seems someone is definitely watching her."

"It's all your fault."

After the eldest princess said this, Lu Qingxiao's expression changed slightly, and he obviously thought of something.

Seeing this, the princess asked, "What happened today?"

Lu Qingxiao said, "I met her at the Silver House, accompanied her to the Jinxiu Square, and then sent her back home."

The princess didn't say anything else after hearing this. She just looked at Lu Qingxiao steadily and said, "What I mean is that I will ask Princess Cheng to be the matchmaker and come to propose marriage tomorrow."

"Mother." Lu Qingxiao frowned. He had promised Xiaoyueliang that he would not easily mention the matter of marriage without her consent.

As soon as the princess saw Lu Qingxiao's expression, she knew what he was thinking and said, "You and Xiao Zhiyue were only walking together for a while today, and someone sent a message to you. Don't you understand what's going on?"

"I'll go and propose marriage, and we'll talk about the marriage separately. At least I won't let people slander Xiao Zhiyue for deliberately trying to get close to you."

"Don't you know your reputation?"

The reputation that the eldest princess was talking about was naturally the reputation that Lu Qingxiao was not interested in women and never showed any mercy to women.

Lu Qingxiao paused. Xiaoyueliang had indeed been in a lot of trouble recently.

Seeing his hesitation, the princess asked, "Could it be that you and Xiao Zhiyue have some agreement?"

Lu Qingxiao looked at the princess and nodded: "I promised her that I would not easily come to propose marriage before she agrees."

The eldest princess was stunned when she heard this. What was this?

Duke Lu laughed and said, "Okay, okay, then I'll leave this matter to you two young people. Just treat it as an ordinary social interaction tomorrow."

The princess glared at Duke Lu coquettishly: "Why doesn't my method work?"

Lu Guoan comforted the princess and said, "The children have made an agreement. You can't let Wubing go back on his word, right?"

Lu Qingxiao glanced at his father and nodded to show his gratitude.

The princess looked at the father and son unhappily and said, "So I am the one worrying about nothing?"

The princess got angry, and Duke Lu smiled and coaxed her: "How could that be? Your Highness has a loving mother's heart, why are you worrying about nothing?"

"If it weren't for the wisdom and bravery of Her Royal Highness the Princess, Wubing would have caused trouble to his sweetheart today. How could he be worrying for nothing?"

Duke Lu winked at Lu Qingxiao as he spoke.

Lu Qingxiao bowed respectfully to the princess and said, "Thank you for your concern for me, mother. I will trouble you with tomorrow's affairs."

The princess could only endure the husband she chose and the son she gave birth to.

"Forget it. I'll just worry about you." The eldest princess looked at the two of them proudly.

Lu Qingxiao bowed and thanked: "Thank you, mother."

"I hope the day will not be far away when I can go to the Duke of England to propose marriage."

The eldest princess glanced at Lu Qingxiao dimly, and Lu Qingxiao looked at her nose with his eyes and her heart with his nose.

There was a smile in Duke Lu's eyes.

Lu Qingxiao left Linbo Courtyard and returned to his own yard.

The birthday gift he prepared for Xiaoyueliang was almost finished, but he didn't expect that something bad would happen in the past few days.

Lu Qingxiao's gaze fell on the birthday gift, his eyes slightly gloomy.

There were some suspicious points behind Duan Hongyu's incident. Rumors spread about him when he and Xiao Yueliang only walked a short distance together.

Someone was watching her from behind and wanted to harm her.

There was murderous intent in Lu Qingxiao's eyes, and he would never let anyone hurt Xiaoyueliang.

"Where is the secret guard?"

As soon as Lu Qingxiao finished speaking, a man in a black robe appeared silently behind him.

"Secret Guard Shiqi is here."
