Chapter 175 Let’s Go Play Together
Mu Jintang's people soon brought news that Lu Xinyu, the third prince, and several other young masters and ladies were appreciating flowers in a place called Sixiang Garden.
Knowing where the person was, the couple changed their clothes and went out.
When Mu Jintang and Tang Peipei arrived at Sixiang Garden, the servant at the door saw them and hurried over to greet them, "Greetings to General Mu, Madam General."
The two nodded and walked straight in.
As soon as I stepped into the garden, I heard a burst of laughter.
"Haha, Miss Lu's poem is really well written."
"Yes, Third Prince, it seems that Miss Lu is really a hidden talent."
When Tang Peipei heard this, she couldn't help but frown slightly. These people really know how to flatter.
Mu Jintang, on the other hand, had a look of indifference on his face. He hated this kind of occasion the most.
When the two men saw Lu Xinyu, she was wearing a light blue dress with the hem fluttering in the wind, looking like a fairy. She was truly beautiful, especially with her shy face, which added to her feminine beauty.
The third prince stood beside Lu Xinyu, looking at her tenderly, and the young men and women around him all flattered him.
Tang Peipei and Mu Jintang looked at each other and could see each other's thoughts from each other's eyes.
The two men stepped forward and bowed, saying, "Your Highness, I greet His Royal Highness the Third Prince."
"This subject greets His Royal Highness the Third Prince."
"It turns out to be General Mu and his wife." The third prince raised a smile, but his eyes were always on Tang Peipei, "No need to be polite, I didn't expect that the general and his wife would have such a refined taste to visit Sixiang Garden. If I had known this, I should have sent a letter to the general's mansion."
"Your Highness is too polite. My wife loves these flowers and plants, so I had to accompany her to take a look. I didn't know Your Highness was here. I'm sorry for disturbing you. I hope Your Highness will forgive me!" Mu Jintang said as he bowed to the third prince.
The Third Prince originally wanted to win over Mu Jintang, so naturally he had to pretend to be polite.
He extended his hand to support him and said, "General Mu, what are you talking about? Since we have met, let's go out and have some fun together."
"I wonder if His Royal Highness the Third Prince is holding a poetry reading here with any special theme?" Tang Peipei asked with a smile.
"We were just chatting and enjoying the beautiful scenery of the garden." The Third Prince said with a smile, "Miss Lu just wrote a great poem. I wonder if the General's wife is also interested in the same thing?"
Tang Peipei smiled slightly, "I am not talented, but I am willing to perform a song for you." As she spoke, she gently plucked the strings of the zither in her hand, and the melodious sound of the zither echoed throughout the garden.
Everyone was intoxicated by the sound of the piano, and the Third Prince's eyes never left Tang Peipei. Seeing this, Mu Jintang couldn't help but feel jealous. He secretly decided to let the Third Prince know that Tang Peipei was his wife, and no one could take advantage of her.
However, when Lu Xinyu saw Tang Peipei, she became a little embarrassed.
After Tang Peipei finished singing, she bowed to everyone.
Except for Tang Peipei, all the others present today were from the Third Prince's party, and they all knew what happened between Tang Peipei and the Queen some time ago.
Two young ladies whispered, "I didn't expect that Madam Tang, a country girl, would have such a skill."
"But looking at her, she is quite good at seducing men," another lady agreed.
Although these words were spoken quietly, they were still heard by Tang Peipei and Mu Jintang.
Mu Jintang's face turned cold, and just as she was about to speak, Tang Peipei spoke first: "You two ladies are right. I am a country girl, so naturally I am not as noble as you. It's just that some people look well-dressed on the surface, but they are filthy inside."
As she spoke, she looked at the Third Prince intentionally or unintentionally, with a hint of sarcasm in her eyes.
The Third Prince's face changed slightly, but he quickly returned to normal and said with a smile: "Madam, why are you so angry? It was just a few jokes."
"Jokes should be told in appropriate situations. Some words cannot be said casually." Tang Peipei said lightly.
At this time, Lu Xinyu quickly stepped forward to smooth things over, "Cousin, don't be angry, they didn't mean it."
"Of course I know they didn't mean it, I just hope they can be more careful with their words in the future. After all, it's okay if it affects the reputation of the general's mansion, that's a big deal," said Tang Peipei.
Hearing Tang Peipei mention the reputation of the General's Mansion, the Third Prince could no longer turn a blind eye and shouted, "You two, why don't you apologize to the General's wife?"
Since the Third Prince had said so, even if the two young ladies were unhappy, they had no choice but to do as he said.
However, he reluctantly bowed and said "I'm sorry!"
He didn't even bend his knees when he saluted.
However, Tang Peipei had no intention of arguing with them. The reason why she came to deal with them today was just to keep an eye on Lu Xinyu, fearing that she would be deceived by the third prince and suffer losses.
They pretended to apologize, and Tang Peipei naturally pretended to agree, "Since you apologize sincerely, this lady will forgive you."
Hearing her say this, the two young ladies gritted their teeth in anger, but they didn't dare to say anything more.
The third prince saw that the atmosphere was a bit awkward and felt very bored, so he said, "Let's stop here today. I have something else to do, so I'll leave you first." After saying that, he glanced at Tang Peipei and left with his men.
Tang Peipei and Mu Jintang didn't want to stay any longer, so Tang Peipei pulled Lu Xinyu over and walked out of Sixiang Garden together.
"You have to be careful with the Third Prince in the future and stay away from him unless necessary." Mu Jintang said in a low voice.
"Yes, I know. Don't worry, I know the seriousness of the matter." Tang Peipei nodded.
"Don't worry, no one can bully you with me here." Mu Jintang took Tang Peipei's hand and said gently.
Tang Peipei looked at him and felt a little warm in her heart. She knew that no matter what difficulties she encountered, Mu Jintang would always be by her side.
Lu Xinyu stood nearby, feeling somewhat embarrassed and a little scared.
She had just promised her sister this morning not to see the third prince, but now she was caught red-handed. It was really a matter of life and death.
Just as she was about to run away while the two were being affectionate, she was grabbed by Tang Peipei.
"Where do you want to go? I'll take you there?"
Looking at Tang Peipei's half-smile, Lu Xinyu said in her heart, it's over~
Lu Xinyu had to play dumb and said, "No, I don't want to go anywhere. I just want to stay with my sister. I don't want to go anywhere." Then she turned from passive to active, hugged Tang Peipei's arm, and started to act coquettishly.
Tang Peipei was left speechless by her, but she had no intention of letting her go.
The person was forcibly brought back to the general's mansion.
