Shocking Mountain Moon

Chapter 58 Xiang Cheng
Princess Kang stared at Ling Yun, not missing a single change in his expression, but she could not see anything.

Yun'er is like this. Perhaps because of her poor health since childhood, she rarely shows her emotions.

How could she believe that her son, who had asked her several times for Miss Qiu Liu, really only had brotherly and sister feelings for that little girl?

But Yun'er's words reminded her that adopting Miss Qiuliu as her adopted daughter and having a nominal brother-sister relationship was at least a constraint.

Moreover, an adopted daughter is different from an adopted daughter. At most, she can add a dowry when she gets married, which is not worth mentioning to Prince Kang’s Mansion.

Princess Kang pondered for a moment and sighed, "Mother can agree to your request, but you have to promise me that you will never think of marrying Miss Qiu Liu."

"Son, I promise I won't have such thoughts. If I do have such thoughts——"

"That's enough." Princess Kang interrupted Ling Yun hastily, "Mother naturally believes in you."

"Thank you, concubine."

The old lady felt confused when she received another invitation from Prince Kang's Mansion.

The reason why Princess Kang invited her previously was very clear, it was to express her gratitude to the Sixth Girl for saving Prince Kang's son. Why did she invite her this time?
Can't figure it out.

But no matter how hard it was, I had to go, and the post specifically said that I would bring Liu Yatou with me. This was a good thing for Liu Yatou, who was caught up in the rumors.

"Go and tell the Sixth Miss." The old lady gave the order.

When the people from Qiansongtang went to pass the message to Qiuheng, Qiuheng had just arranged for someone to deliver the incense pendant and incense pills to Yuan's house.

"Go to Prince Kang's Mansion with the old lady tomorrow? Got it."

Qiu Heng didn't think that the Princess Kang wanted to see her. If it was Princess Jiayi, she wouldn't have invited her grandmother, so this trip was most likely related to Brother Bai.

At Yuan's house, Hui Niang was surprised and happy when she heard the servant report that Miss Qiu Liu's people had come to deliver a perfume pendant.

She had heard the rumors outside about Miss Qiu Liu, and thought that the incense she had been longing for would die, but she didn't expect that Miss Qiu Liu still had someone send it to her.

Hui Niang went to see Mother Wang in person. In addition to giving Mother Wang some money, she also handed her a small box and said, "This is a small gift for Miss Qiu Liu. Please don't refuse it."

Mother Wang had no choice but to accept it and left.

Li Niang rushed over upon hearing the news and saw Hui Niang opening the box of incense. She immediately said with a sour tone: "This incense is not just for my sister. It's inappropriate for my sister to open it without telling me, isn't it?"

Hui Niang pursed her lips and smiled: "Don't worry, sister. Miss Qiu Liu's people said it was sent to me, so I have to take a look first."

Li Niang swung her handkerchief and sneered, "It's true that Miss Qiu Liu's perfume pendant is well made, but who knows how the perfume pills are, maybe they're not that good, so I'll just treasure them first."

"If you don't think it's good, don't use it, sister."

"Why shouldn't I use it? I'll try it later and see if it's really that miraculous." Li Niang pushed Hui Niang aside and looked at the box.

There are three boxes placed side by side in the box, with names written on them.

Li Niang immediately opened the box with her name on it and took out a pair of perfume pendants inside.

It was her favorite plum blossom style. When she brought it closer, the clear and distant plum fragrance wafted from her.

Li Niang took a deep breath unconsciously and showed an intoxicated look.

Hui Niang couldn't wait to open her box and play with the pendant.

Li Niang glanced at the pendant held by Hui Niang and felt even more satisfied: it was not as good as her plum blossom pendant.

Hui Niang was also satisfied: her pendant was more beautiful than Li Niang's!

The two of them returned to their rooms with their respective boxes, and the last box was sent to Nie Si Niang.

Nie Si Niang received the box and called Nie San Niang to open it together.

Inside were also two incense pendants and several purses filled with incense pills.

Nie Sanniang thought of the secret letter she had received and used the scented pills in the pink purse first.

Why is that?
Could it be that Brother Que replaced the incense pills made by Miss Qiu Liu, and there is something wrong with these incense pills?
Nie Sanniang could only suppress her doubts and follow the instructions.

That day, new incense was replaced in the three rooms of Yuan’s residence. The fragrance was like smoke, lingering in the air.

……

In the carriage heading to Prince Kang's mansion, the old lady remained silent. She was a little nervous.

The nervousness was not because of the invitation from Princess Kang, but because something happened every time he rode in the same car with this girl.

This unlucky girl is always causing trouble. She is the worst among all the granddaughters.

"Grandma, would you like some snacks?" Qiu Heng, who was being despised by the old lady, took out the chestnut cake and asked.

"You're still stuffing snacks into your purse after breakfast. Do you act like a lady from a noble family?" The old lady scolded her and took the chestnut cake and started eating.

Unlike the last time when she couldn't hide her arrogance, this time Princess Kang was much more enthusiastic, with her two children accompanying her.

"I asked the old lady to come here today because I have something to discuss with you."

"Princess, please speak."

Princess Kang's eyes fell on Qiu Heng's face, with a smile on her lips: "Ever since I met Miss Qiu Liu, I felt that we were compatible, and I also had the fate of saving Yun Er. I want to take Miss Qiu Liu as my adopted daughter, what do you think, old lady?"

The old lady was stunned.

The princess adopted the sixth girl as her adopted daughter?

She looked at Qiu Heng intently, but couldn't see any flowers at all.

This makes no sense!
No, no, many things don't make sense for this girl. For example, this girl sued Han Wu's son. At that time, she was worried about offending the Han family, but Han Wu suddenly died.

Now that the Sixth Girl is being criticized, Princess Kang actually wants to adopt her as her adopted daughter?

"What does the old lady think?"

The old lady couldn't help but look at Qiu Heng: "It's this girl's good fortune to be favored by the princess——"

Of course she was happy to do so, but Liu Yatou was not someone who played by the rules...

Qiu Heng lowered her eyes slightly, looking well-behaved.

The old lady finally let go of the worry she had been holding in her heart and gave the Princess a relaxed smile: "Princess, you are too kind to this girl."

"How could that be? I only have a pair of children, and having another daughter would make things more lively. Yun'er, Jiayi, you can accompany Ah Heng to get familiar with the Prince's Mansion."

Princess Jiayi took Qiuheng out and looked her up and down.

"What's wrong?" Qiu Heng asked.

Princess Jiayi smiled and said, "Look at the new sister."

From now on, Ah Heng is her sister. She can have whatever incense she wants. If she doesn’t understand something, she can ask Ah Heng and she doesn’t need to feel embarrassed anymore.

Thanks to you, brother!

"Brother, didn't you want to recognize your sister? Why don't you say anything?"

Ling Yun was unexpectedly sold out by Princess Jiayi, and looked embarrassed for a moment.

Qiu Heng was frank instead: "Brother Ling."

She hadn't expected that this would be the outcome, but since it had come to this, she would not refuse such a convenient identity.

Just be more careful not to cause them trouble in the future.

"Ah Heng, don't take those rumors to heart."

"I know, I never took it to heart."

Ling Yun looked at the calm and composed girl and smiled.

On the way back, the old lady was nervous, but when the shouting came into the carriage, she finally relaxed: She said that something would happen, and now it has happened.

"What happened?"

"Madam, it was the inspectors who caught the person who secretly posted the hemp paper."

Qiu Heng lifted the car window curtain and looked out, and saw Xue Han walking towards the inspection team.
