Chapter 413 Become a confidant
Seeing that the man opposite looked somewhat alert, Qin was afraid that he would refuse again, so she waved her hand and asked the two maids to hurry up and support him, and dragged him into the carriage without saying anything.
Originally, they had just left the alley where her home was. The carriage only turned around and returned to her home in a few steps.
However, Qin's mood at this moment was completely different from when she went out before.
By the time Xu Letie got the news, the Seventh Prince was already chatting animatedly with Qin and Xu Jinran.
"This is my first time in the capital, so I wanted to walk around and take a good look at the customs and culture of the capital. I didn't expect that I would meet this kind lady just after I came out for a while..."
The Seventh Prince did not reveal his identity, only saying that his name was Meng He and that he had come to the capital specifically for a visit.
"Since Master Meng is here, then have some fun in the capital for a few days."
Xu Jinran smiled kindly and invited the Seventh Prince to have tea.
He had lived in Prince Ning's Mansion for these years, so naturally he had developed a style that was quite presentable.
"Mr. Meng, you made the right choice to come to the capital. There are so many fun places here..."
Qin also joined in and looked outside the door from time to time.
I don't know what that girl is hesitating about. It's been a while and she still doesn't come over quickly.
"Yes, the capital is full of flowers and brocade. I can see it this time."
The Seventh Prince nodded in agreement with what Xu Jinran and his wife said. He glanced outside the door and couldn't help but curl the corners of his lips.
"Thank you both for your help today. My wound has been treated. I will take my leave now. I will definitely come to thank you in person with gifts another day..."
He stood up and bowed to Xu Jinran and the other person, looking like he was in a hurry to leave.
"Dad, Mom, are there guests at home?"
Xu Letie, who had been standing outside the door for a long time, could no longer hold back, and immediately pretended to be just arrived, and walked in leisurely with an appearance of being very well-educated and polite.
"Hey... who is this gentleman?"
She seemed to have just walked in and found a strange man in the room. Her face immediately turned red and she felt a little embarrassed.
"Die'er, you came just in time. This is Master Meng. Today, mother was in a hurry to see your grandmother, so the carriage was running a little fast, and that's why we accidentally bumped into each other."
Qin pulled Xu Letie over and told her the whole story again.
"My daughter greets Master Meng. We were indeed wrong today. I apologize to you on behalf of my mother. Please give us a chance to make amends."
She bowed to the Seventh Prince, looking very guilty and sad.
"You are so polite, young lady. I am a grown man, and I was just bumped into. It's no big deal..."
The Seventh Prince smiled generously and stretched out his hand to help her. Even when his hand was in front of Xu Letie, he seemed to have just remembered and felt quite embarrassed.
"I am sorry for being so abrupt. Please get up, girl..."
Just as he was about to withdraw his hand, he felt his arm sink. The woman opposite him naturally supported his arm and stood up straight.
The two looked at each other and couldn't help blushing.
In just a moment, the whole room seemed to be filled with pink bubbles, floating around them.
"It's rare for Master Meng to come here today, so why don't we go see if there are any good dishes and invite him to have a meal at home as an apology for what happened today."
Looking at their expressions, Qin was very satisfied. She smiled slightly and tugged at Xu Jinran's sleeve.
Without waiting for the Seventh Prince to speak, he quickly left the house and walked away with the maids at the door.
"My mother is right. If you don't give us this face, our whole family will feel uneasy."
Seeing that she and the Seventh Prince were the only ones left in the room, Xu Letie smiled slightly and sat down next to him very naturally.
"Well... since the young lady's family has cordially invited me, I will... respectfully obey your orders."
Although the Seventh Prince still looked a little embarrassed, he couldn't refuse anymore, so he just agreed with a smile.
No one came to disturb them afterwards, and the two of them chatted about everything under the sun, and their conversation was very lively.
The Seventh Prince still had no intention of revealing his true identity. He only said that his family had some power and was considered a large family.
He is now being trained as a successor, so he wants to travel around more and gain some experience.
Xu Letie nodded in understanding, sighed softly, and then told some true and false stories about her family background.
According to her description, the old lady was very reluctant to leave their family, but her own son did not want to do so.
In order to take care of his emotions and self-esteem, we had no choice but to let their family move out for a few days. When the time is right, we will bring them back.
After all, he is the child that I raised with great effort. How could I just not recognize him?
Everyone, including other people in the mansion, had to distance themselves from the family out of consideration for their feelings.
"I didn't expect that some people are so greedy. They are just a peasant family, but they don't know how to be grateful to have a family like the Ning Wang Mansion. They actually instigated others to treat you like that."
There was a hint of heartache in the Seventh Prince's tone, which made Xu Letie's eyes ache and she almost burst into tears.
This was the first time in these days that someone was speaking up for her family. How could she not be touched?
"For grandma's peace of mind, and for my uncles and aunts to worry less, even if our family suffers some injustice temporarily, it's no big deal..."
She looked like she was compromising for her family, with tears in her eyes, which made people feel even more distressed.
"Alas, it's true that you can never judge a person by his appearance. Fortunately, I thought that family looked nice..."
The seventh prince sighed and muttered something seemingly unintentionally, and every word of it fell into Xu Letie's ears.
"Oh, it's nothing. I just feel that I misjudged someone before, and I feel a little sad."
Seeing the woman opposite looking at him with some confusion, the Seventh Prince quickly waved his hand as if nothing had happened.
"Although we have only been in contact for a short while, I sincerely feel that your family is a good one. They have wronged you so much for an outsider. That is really a loss for the greater good. The gain is not worth the loss..."
The Seventh Prince said this comfortingly, and these words touched Xu Letie's heart, making her like the person in front of her even more.
The two of them chatted back and forth, and by the time Qin came over and said the meal was ready and they could start eating, Xu Letie and the Seventh Prince had already regarded each other as close friends.
