Chapter 47: It is not easy being married 1 (2/2)

Lu Yingjie had been attentive to Zhu Fengyin throughout their marriage, Zhu Fengyin making him fall in love with her wouldn't be difficult. Su Liya ran the hairbrush through Zhu Fengyin's hair more times than necessary that it caught Zhu Fengyin's attention.

Zhu Fengyin cleared her throat gently and said ”Yaya I think that my hair has been untangled, if you keep running the comb through my hair, I might get a headache”.

Su Liya shivered and pulled the hairbrush away ”oh no! sorry about that. I got distracted”.

”I noticed, what has got you distracted?”

Su Liya kept the comp on the table, she pulled Zhu Fengyin's hair up and heald it with her right hand, ”I heard from some maids that Princess Xia Ying is in the capital, she was invited by the Empress”.

”The Empress didn't waste any time it seems” Zhu Fengyin replied calmly.

”What do you mean?” Su Liya asked eyes narrowed.

”The Empress inviting the states Duke's granddaughter is a power move. She must be trying to arrange a marriage between second young master and the princess”.

”Huh! how come it's the second young master?”

Zhu Fengyin smiled ”who else would it be, the Duke? Please, Princess Ni'an would never allow her granddaughter to become a second wife. The crown Prince already has a possible marriage match with our Young Mistress. The only unmarried male the Empress is fond of is Lu Yaozhu”.

”Really how did I not think of that”.

”Because you are silly, You would know that, if you spend time getting to know each noble family instead of looking being nosy in my love life”.

”It is pretty boring at the residence, the only thing worth paying is your relationship with the Duke. I can't start paying attention to big madam's matters now can I”

”You should improve yourself instead of paying attention to gossip. Don't make the hairstyle too complicated, make it simple. I don't want the gossip tomorrow to be how I like being the center of attention”

”They can get that out of just your hairstyle?”

”The madams like you have too much time on their hands, they are always looking for something to talk about. This is my first banquet as a Duchess, I can be found wanting. If not Madam Lu would tear me a new one tomorrow, she will be watching my conduct during this banquet”.

Tsk tsk tsk, ”Wow marriage into the Lu family isn't easy”, Su Liya said shaking her head.
