On this day, Lou Huan was practicing calligraphy in the garden. Her purple clothes were neat and tidy, and her ice skin was clear and translucent. She was as clear as a fairy, and her charm was refined. There was only one word under this piece of white paper: Mu. That man was as clear as jade, as deep as a god, and in her memory, that faint irises fragrance. Although she knew that his heart belonged to someone else, she could not suppress her longing for him.
He and she should be living a blissful life now. His fingers caressed the jade ring on his neck, and his heart ached so much that it was difficult to breathe.
It had been three years since that day, but the mark he had left in her heart would never be erased in her thirteen-year-old heart.
"Fifth Young Lady, Old Master invites you to the study.”The messenger was Granny Zhao. She had served Lou Beiye for many years and her status was not ordinary. Even First Madam had to give some face. It was only right for her to be arrogant towards Seventh Madam and Lou Huan, who had no background or favor. However, she did not despise them. Instead, she was respectful.
"Yes, Granny Zhao." Lou Huan put away her expression and returned to her usual timid, obedient, and docile appearance.
She had never entered Lou Beiye's study. Firstly, he never allowed others to enter at will. Secondly, she was not interested. However, this time, he specially called her here. It must be something bad. She had better be careful.
The man standing in the study room had his hands behind his back. He was tall and handsome, and his good-looking features were getting darker and darker. He had a refined and handsome appearance, but he had been in the business world for many years, which made him more shrewd and calculative. No wonder so many women fell in love with such an outstanding and wonderful man. Even his mother was no exception.
"Father."
Lou Beiye turned around and faced Lou Huan, the most beautiful daughter among his five daughters. She was so beautiful that it was difficult to disguise her. As she grew older, she would become more and more beautiful.
Huan 'er, do you hate me?" A steady and calm voice fell from above, mixed with a hint of depression.
Lou Huan didn't expect him to ask so directly. She sorted out her thoughts and Wei Nuo was terrified." I don't understand. Why would I hate Father?"”
As soon as she finished speaking, she looked pitiful.
Lou Beiye slowly smiled and said," Of course, you hate me. You hate me for being cruel to your mother. Huan 'er, among my many children, you should be the smartest. Your trick of pretending to be stupid has successfully deceived everyone. Xiqing is such an outstanding woman. How can her daughter be a child who has no opinions and is afraid of trouble?"”
Every word of Lou Beiye's words fell into her heart, and every word made her feel a little cold. The fear in her eyes slowly turned into indifference. Her tone was calm as she asked," What do you want me to do?"”
"Marry the Seventh Prince." These simple words made Lou Huan's face turn pale.
Her cherry lips trembled as she spoke softly," Why me?”
"It's said that the Seventh Prince requested it. Huan 'er, you just need to be a good Seventh Princess Consort and help your sister as much as you can. As long as you do well, your mother, who you love the most, will be fine. Moreover, the Seventh Prince is the number one young master in the world.”
Lou Huan's knuckles turned white and she bit her lips. Her eyes were as cold as ice. She looked at her so-called father, the man whom her mother loved. For the sake of the family, he threatened his own daughter with the life of his wife.
After a long time, as if he had made up his mind, he slowly said," Will you treat Mother well as long as I agree?"”
"That's right." Lou Beiye turned his eyes away and tried not to look at her. This face was even more beautiful than Xi Qing's when she was in her prime. It was clear and ethereal like the wind blowing against the jade tree and the snow wrapped around the jade bud. It was refined and elegant. The pair of beautiful eyes that had taken off the disguise was hard to look at." Huan 'er, I will definitely prepare a grand coming-of-age ceremony for you and let you get married in glory."”
Lou Beiye knew very well that once his daughter reached adulthood, the so-called Nanxian Wan and Bei Shaoying would no longer exist. There would be another beauty in the world. Perhaps, those two beauties would not be as beautiful as this Lou Huan.
"I understand." Lou Huan bowed." If there's nothing else, I'll take my leave."”
Without waiting for Lou Beiye's signal, she left the study.
The sunlight outside the room was particularly glaring today. Lou Huan used her sleeves to cover her eyes slightly. She squinted her eyes and smiled bitterly. Her world was still so narrow.
Walking in the garden of the Lou Mansion, there were strange mountains and strange stones, and flowers in full bloom. The entire garden was exquisite and beautiful, like a fairyland. This was the garden of the mansion of the richest man in the world, the Lou family. Just a small garden was already so luxurious.
"Yo, isn't this Fifth Older Sister? Why do you look so dejected?”Lou Siying still appeared like the stars surrounding the moon, with her usual pride and unruly manner.
Lou Huan ignored her and walked forward. She didn't want to guess what Lou Siying was thinking, nor was she in the mood to guess. She didn't call her Fifth Sister for no reason. She remembered that three years ago, Lou Siying had asked her to call her Seventh Miss.
"I'm talking to you. Why are you ignoring me?”Seeing her indifferent look, Lou Siying pushed her angrily. The usually submissive woman actually ignored her and directly ignored her. How could she swallow this anger? If it wasn't for the fact that she was the future princess consort chosen by the Seventh Prince, he would have been stingy with addressing her as Fifth Older Sister.
"What's the matter, Seventh Miss?" Lou Huan did not mind. She was already in a bad mood and did not want to be entangled with her.
"Hmph, it's just because of your face that you became a phoenix and became the Seventh Princess Consort. Lou Huan, all you can get is this foxy face!”Lou Siying was flustered and exasperated. She pointed at Lou Huan and cursed. Seventh Prince, she had heard of how distant and elegant he was. She had thought that when she was older and reached adulthood, she would ask her aunt and elder sister to be matchmakers for her and marry Seventh Prince. However, she did not expect that this vixen, who she usually did not put in her eyes, would beat her to it.
Lou Huan's eyes swept across the room and glistened. She was the future princess consort of the Seventh Prince. There must be people in the Lou residence who were unfair to her. Lou Siying was one of them. She smiled faintly and thought to herself," Since my father has exposed me, I don't have to be silly and be a fish in the water. Don't be so sarcastic. Isn't this foxy face you're talking about what you've always dreamed of?"”
"You…!"
" Also, Lou Siying, please remember that I'm your sister. How can you call me by my name? You're only thirteen years old, and you speak so rudely. Do you want me to discipline you on behalf of First Madam?”Lou Huan looked at her with a smile. Seeing that she could not speak, she felt disdain in her heart. No matter how unruly and willful she was, she was still a 13-year-old girl.
Lou Siying was so angry that her face turned pale. She couldn't speak for a long time. What was wrong with this sister? She didn't swallow her anger like she usually did. She was aloof and noble, like the goddess of the moon. It was difficult for people to get close to her and they didn't dare to look at her. What was going on?
Lou Huan ignored Lou Siying and left. When she returned to Jing Garden, she composed herself and walked in with a smile. Unexpectedly, she saw two people dressed as maids standing in the garden.
"Miss, you're back." When Yinyin saw Lou Huan, she quickly ran to her side and looked warily at the two unfamiliar maidservants.
Due to Yinyin's shouts, the two of them noticed Lou Huan and turned around to greet her." This servant is Daiyun. Biyue pays her respects to the Fifth Miss."”
"You are?"
"These servants were sent by master to serve young miss.”
Lou Huan was definitely looking at the two of them. Dai Yun was as beautiful as a peach and plum. She had a beautiful appearance and a charming smile, like a lotus in the morning. Bi Yue, on the other hand, was as quiet as a virgin, as beautiful as an orchid. These two beautiful women were actually sent by his father to be his maidservants. What was his intention?
"Huan 'er, what's going on?”The Seventh Mistress slowly walked out with the help of the green concubine. Her pure white face was comparable to the two beautiful women. She was like a fairy, cold and threatening.
Lou Huan hurried forward and supported Seventh Mistress. She spoke casually as if they were just chatting about a small matter." It's nothing. Father has found a marriage for my daughter. Mother, you don't have to worry."”
The Seventh Mistress was shocked. Her eyes were filled with surprise. Her usual gentle expression was gone. She said sternly," Huan 'er, follow me into the room. Mother has something to say to you." Green Princess, I'll leave these two girls to you.”
"Yes, Madam." The Green Mistress understood that Madam was angry. In the past, Madam would not care about the cold words of the other masters. But now, it was related to Miss's marriage. Miss's indifferent look made Madam understand that Miss must have no choice.
The interior of the room was simple but ingenious. Although it was not gorgeous, it was exquisite everywhere.
Huan 'er, you agree?"
Lou Huan lowered her head and did not dare to look directly at him. She only replied softly.
"Huan 'er, look at mother. Tell mother why you agreed?”The voice of the Seventh Mistress was like a cold waterfall, cold to the bone. Her bloodless face made her look even more extraordinary. She was extremely beautiful and cold. She was graceful and elegant. This was the true face of Lu Xiqing, one of the twin flowers who had shaken the martial world.
Lou Huan looked up at her mother. The Seventh Mistress 'eyes were extremely cold, clear like autumn water and cold like ice. However, her eyes were charming and intertwined, clear like green water and demonic like flowing light.
" Mother, don't worry. Huan 'er is married to the Seventh Prince, who is known as the number one young master in the world. He must be a dragon among men. Although Huan' er doesn't like him, he is still a wife and won't be wronged.”
After hearing this, the Seventh Mistress 'heart was as clear as a mirror. Huan' er did this for her. The so-called not being wronged was not only for her, but also for herself. Over the years, even if there was hatred in the beginning, it had faded with Huan 'er's growth. But now, it was...
In the end, she sighed helplessly." Huan 'er, I don't have any other wishes. I just want you to be happy."”
Lou Huan hugged her mother, tears falling from the corners of her eyes." As long as Mother is well, I don't care about anything. Mother must promise Huan 'er to take good care of herself. Only then will Huan' er be at ease."”
"Good daughter, you're really a silly child."
Through Huan 'er's eyes, it was as if she was looking at another person. Her twin sister, Lu Xizhi, was also born with a pair of demonic eyes that could charm the world. They were beautiful but not ordinary, delicate but not charming.
Xizhi, Xizhi, what would you think if you knew? The Seventh Madam's lips curled into a meaningful smile.
