Obsessively Raised by My Doll 130

Chapter 130

Just… seeing that scene just now, A’sang was completely dumbfounded.

The Crown Princess, who always appeared in public with a large retinue, surrounded by many people, revered and extremely majestic, had now come rushing over for Qingqing, picked her up onto the horse, and immediately galloped away.

This was very unlike the Crown Princess.

It almost felt as if she was afraid A’sang would do something to Qingqing and had snatched her away in advance.

But how could that be possible?

How could the Crown Princess possibly care about the friendship between a lowly library guard like her and Qingqing?

It had to be said, A’sang had hit upon the root of the matter, but she never would have imagined that the Crown Princess would come and carry someone away out of jealousy.

How could the heir of a nation do such a thing?

But in fact, as the heir of a nation, Zheng Xuening was not only fond of being jealous, but in front of Lu Dieqing, she would also feign innocence.

“Ningning, why are you here?”

Held in her arms on horseback, feeling the cold wind blowing against her face, Lu Dieqing nuzzled her head into Zheng Xuening’s embrace, a little surprised.

According to common sense, at this time, Ningning should be busy with her own affairs in Yunxi Hall.

They had clearly agreed today that she would go to the Zuo residence later.

Ningning had even encouraged her to go at that time.

After a little turn of her little head, Lu Dieqing came to a conclusion.

“You don’t want me to go to the Zuo family, do you?”

She clutched Zheng Xuening’s sleeve and looked up at the other’s cold jawline.

Every time Ningning pressed her lips together, the lines of her facial contours would become a little colder than usual.

And at this time, Ningning’s eyes would look elsewhere, avoiding her own gaze.

Lu Dieqing could guarantee with her own little heart that she understood Ningning completely, and knew best when the other was unhappy.

Faced with the girl’s question, Zheng Xuening chose to respond with silence.

But the horse’s four hooves still galloped towards the palace gate.

The guards at the palace gate, seeing Zheng Xuening come out, immediately bowed and saluted.

“Your Highness!”

Lu Dieqing’s head was hidden in Zheng Xuening’s embrace. The guards clearly saw it, but acted as if they hadn’t seen anything, and didn’t even ask.

After running out of the palace gate, Lu Dieqing could finally speak loudly.

“Ningning, where are you taking me?”

Zheng Xuening slowed down and finally said her first sentence, “I’m taking you to the Zuo family.”

With this, Lu Dieqing’s eyes widened, full of disbelief.

“You’re taking me?”

Zheng Xuening pulled her off the horse. When they stood under a tree, her eyes narrowed.

“I have nothing to do today. Can’t I go to the banquet with you?”

As she said this, her face was not red and she was not out of breath.

And Lu Dieqing just believed her.

The girl blinked her eyes and smiled, nodding. “Okay. But if you go, Xiaoya and the others will definitely be startled.”

In the past, at the academy, the moment Zuo Xiaoya and her sister saw Ningning, they would become reserved.

Several times before, when she and Ningning had appeared together and had accidentally run into the Zuo sisters, the others had been afraid of disturbing them and had pretended not to have seen anything.

Once or twice was a coincidence, but after many times, Lu Dieqing had also slowly figured it out.

—Zuo Xiaoya and the others were afraid of Ningning.

Sure enough, when the doorman announced that two people had arrived at the gate, the Zuo sisters, who had just set up the food in the back garden, were both stunned.

Zuo Xiaoya: “If it’s two people, could it be that the Crown Princess has also come?”

Zuo Manzhi had already tidied her clothes and was hurrying to the front courtyard.

“Most likely.”

Knowing that the Crown Princess was accompanying her, although she was surprised in her heart, after a little thought, she felt that it was reasonable.

After all, it was plain for all to see how much the Crown Princess cared for Miss Lu.

Previously, she had even taken Miss Lu out of the palace alone. Now, to come to their Zuo family for a banquet and follow along seemed to be no big deal.

Thinking that she would be seeing the Crown Princess later, and at her own home, Zuo Xiaoya was a little nervous.

She quickened her pace to catch up with Zuo Manzhi and said nervously, “Sister, why is Her Highness also here? How about I feign illness and don’t go out later?”

She knew that she had never been as clever as her sister, and her reaction to major events was not fast. Sometimes, she would even do something tactless, or even a good intention would turn into a bad deed.

But this was her nature. It wasn’t that she was deliberately trying to make trouble.

Their family now wholeheartedly wanted to get closer to the Crown Princess.

They had finally, through Lu Dieqing’s friendship, waited for the Crown Princess to personally visit their residence.

She did not want to cause any trouble because of her own carelessness. She was a little scared and wanted to avoid the meeting.

Zuo Manzhi called out to her, “Stop. You go with me. You’re not allowed to feign illness and not go out.”

Zuo Xiaoya was confused. “Sister, why? Anyway, I only know how to cause trouble. Isn’t it better to avoid it?”

Seeing that her sister didn’t understand, Zuo Manzhi could only point it out.

“You have to remember, although our Zuo family’s original intention is to side with the Crown Princess and get closer to her, to invite Lu Dieqing over in our name is only because we consider her a friend.”

“Remember this feeling of yours. Don’t think of anything extra.”

Zuo Xiaoya didn’t understand why. “Then what if I don’t entertain her well later and accidentally offend the Crown Princess?”

Zuo Manzhi stroked her sister’s head. “Since you’re not a clever person, you don’t need to try to figure out what a wise person is thinking. Just treat Miss Lu with your usual heart.”

Although the Crown Princess valued Lu Dieqing, she did not treat the other as a possession without freedom. On the contrary, she was willing to accompany the other to the Zuo family.

Just from this point, Zuo Manzhi could already figure out many things.

Hearing her sister’s words, Zuo Xiaoya belatedly understood the hidden meaning.

“Sister, do you mean that a stupid person like me should just do what a stupid person should do, and not think too much, right?”

Zuo Manzhi curved the corners of her lips.

The latter immediately understood.

Hmph, my sister is just saying that I’m not clever.

However, with her sister’s comfort just now, Zuo Xiaoya, on the contrary, relaxed and was no longer so nervous.

That’s right.

My sister is cleverer than me. For those things that require a lot of consideration, my sister will be there in front to block and watch. I just have to be obedient.

And… since I’ve invited Qingqing to our residence, I should indeed be present and be a good host. How can I feign illness and hide just because I’m afraid of offending the Crown Princess?

That’s too irresponsible.

When the entire Zuo family learned that the Crown Princess had arrived at their residence, they were instantly in a mess.

“Aiya, what are we to do? It’s all our fault for being too close to the Second Prince before. Could it be that the Crown Princess is here to hold us accountable?”

“Hold us accountable for what? Our Manzhi did not have a marriage contract with the Second Prince. Can’t we just not admit it?”

“Your father is not at home. If we anger the Crown Princess, our Zuo family will really be finished.”

The female family members in the residence sighed.

It was Zuo Manzhi who suppressed these people.

“Today is just a banquet among us juniors and friends. Mother, Grandmother, don’t panic.”

The Zuo family was in a mess, and it took a lot of effort to calm down.

At this time, Lu Dieqing, who was waiting in the front courtyard, met Zheng Xuening’s gaze.

So strange.

After cultivating, her hearing had become so sharp that she could hear the commotion in the back courtyard.

She looked at Zheng Xuening with embarrassment.

“Ningning, why is your reputation so fearsome?”

Zheng Xuening’s face was unchanged.

“If I’m not a little fierce, how can I protect my wife?”

Lu Dieqing: “! Cough, cough.”
