Transmigrated As My Former Uncle's Sweetheart-Chapter 1772 - Did Something Put You In A Bad Mood
1772 Did Something Put You In A Bad Mood
Even though the Empress and Princess Consort Rui were friends and the crown prince would have to pay a visit to the Prince Rui Mansion when he came to the Yan Kingdom due to the friendship, something still felt off to Qi Heng about how the visit felt so formal.
Long Yin did not say much and Qi Heng went to clean up and change after being given the order.
He arrived at Prince Rui Mansion along with Qi Heng at about nine fifteen in the morning.
Yuan Xin and Beitang Rui were both a little surprised to find out he was there.
“Yin’er came pretty early today,” Yuan Xin mumbled.
“Weren’t you the one who asked him to come earlier?” Beitang Rui replied.
“I did say that, but knowing Yin’er, I thought he wouldn’t come so early,” Yuan Xin said. She quickly ordered the servants to make tea while she went out to welcome Long Yin personally.
She bumped into her daughter on the way out and quickly said, “Your Big Bro Long Yin is here. Come with me to welcome him.”
Hexin frowned and stood where she was without moving.
“It’s not like he hasn’t been to our house before. Why do I need to go welcome him?”
Yuan Xin paused in her steps when she heard this. She turned to glance at Hexin. “Beitang Hexin, the older you are, the more you lack manners. Did something put you in a bad mood? Your Big Bro Long Yin rarely has a chance to visit the Yan Kingdom. As the host, we should show him our courtesy. How could you say something like that? Hurry up and come with me.”
Hexin stopped talking back when she saw her mother get angry. She had no choice but to follow her mother out for the welcome.
Long Yin had already entered the mansion as the housekeeper led him in.
“Yin’er,” Yuan Xin saw him from far away and rushed toward him enthusiastically as she quickened her footsteps.
The smile on her face became wider when she saw the young man stepping into the door.
Sigh. This boy had such a good-looking face. He was so likable.
Yuan Xin was reminded of something and she turned back to give a pull, hinting at Hexin, who was behind, to greet him.
Hexin pretended not to see a thing.
“Aunt Xin,” Long Yin was the first to call out to Yuan Xin. After that, his glance swept past Hexin, who was standing next to Yuan Xin.
Hexin finally went forward unwillingly when she saw him look at her. “Big Bro Long Yin.”
“Xinxin.” Long Yin nodded slightly and his gaze stopped momentarily on her face.
He could tell that the young lady did not welcome him at all.
“Come, let’s go in for some tea.” Yuan Xin did not notice anything strange with her daughter and she pulled Long Yin’s hand as they entered the mansion.
Hexin was left behind.
As she looked at the two people walking in front of her, Hexin found it a sore to her eyes.
What was wrong with her mother? The way she was treating Long Yin so affectionately would have others mistaking Long Yin for her son.
Qi Heng, who was also left behind, gave a light cough and greeted her. “Lady Hexin.”
Hexin turned away when she heard him and glanced toward Qi Heng to ask, “Have you woken up from your hangover?”
This startled Qi Heng. “What?”
“Nothing.” Hexin decided not to bring anything up as he did not seem to remember a thing. All she said was, “There really is a similarity between your master and you.”
Qi Heng was befuddled. There was nothing alike between him and the crown prince.
He was about to ask more questions when Hexin walked away.
Qi Heng rubbed his nose with slight embarrassment.
Lady Hexin had really changed a lot.
She was much more adorable than she was now two years ago.
Did something happen to her?
Somehow, he felt that she did not really want to see him or the crown prince.
It looked like the crown prince’s trip here might not be so smooth sailing.
Qi Heng suddenly began to feel a little worried.
Beitang Rui was already waiting at the doors of the front hall.
When he saw Long Yin had arrived, he quickly walked down a few steps to welcome him.
“Uncle Rui.” Long Yin quickened his steps forward to give Beitang Rui a fist and palm salute.
Beitang Rui was taken aback, but he snapped out of it and patted Long Yin’s shoulder. He said with a smile, “There is no need for so much formalities, Your Highness. Come, let’s sit inside.”
When they got to the front hall, Long Yin presented every gift he had brought here as he took them from the hands of Qi Heng and a few subordinates.
Yuan Xin’s gaze swept across the boxes of gifts placed on the table with slight astonishment. She later sighed and said, “My child, you shouldn’t come with so many gifts. All I want is for you to visit our home.”
“They are just some small gifts. Please do accept them,” Long Yin said with ease.
Beitang Rui gave him a quiet, yet contemplative glance, but later said warmly with a smile. “You should all take a seat.”
Everyone sat down.
Hexin clenched the handkerchief in her hand when she saw the mountains of presents placed on the table.
What did Big Bro Long Yin mean by this?
He came to visit and brought so many gifts with him.
She suddenly felt uneasy about what would happen next.
After finishing a pot of tea, she suddenly stood up and said, “I haven’t really brought you around the mansion when you came to visit two years ago, Big Bro Long Yin. Since we have time today, let me bring you around.”
