"My brother has fallen in love with Miss Qi, and Miss Qi also has feelings for my brother."

"They met?"

Zhu Yu patted his slightly protruding chest: "With me here, it's a must."

Lu Xiaoyun squeezed the record book about the Marquis of Nanyang's residence that Zhu Dan had given her.

Zhu Yu caught a glimpse of it out of the corner of his eye; it was his fifth brother's handwriting, which he recognized all too well.

So he pushed the booklet aside, moving away from Lu Xiaoyun, and raised his hand to block her view.

"So, Lu Xiaoyun, don't worry, once Miss Qi marries into the family, they will definitely grow old together in love."

It's not just about treating each other with respect.

In this world, in this era, arranged marriages and silent marriages are rare, and couples who are loving and affectionate are few and far between. It is already good if they can treat each other with respect.

But he knew that for Lu Xiaoyun, it wasn't enough for her brother to simply be respectful to each other when it came to his marriage.

Lu Xiaoyun smiled: "Zhu Yu, thank you."

She thought that Zhu Dan and Zhu Yu were ultimately different.

Zhu Yu smiled and casually tossed the booklet into the stove outside the courtyard where Jiang Chuan was boiling water.

Jiang Chuan then burned the booklet as firewood, since there was no more firewood available, saving him the trouble of fetching it.

Li Feng squatted down next to Jiang Chuan, watching Jiang Chuan lift the kettle and pour water into the cup.

Then he handed her a cup, saying, "Warm your hands up quickly."

The cup was wrapped in a cloth, and it felt warm in my hand, not hot at all.

Li Feng took it and said with a grin, "It's mid-February, it's not cold anymore."

"It's still cold in the mornings and evenings."

Li Feng's hands immediately warmed up. Looking at Jiang Chuan, she sighed, "Ah, Jiang Chuan, you're so thoughtful. Your wife will be so lucky in the future."

Jiang Chuan looked intently at her and nodded: "Yes, she's very lucky. I wonder which girl is so fortunate."

Li Feng lowered her head and sipped the tea in her hand, completely unaware that someone had their eye on her, this delicate and tender little flower.

As the weather gradually warms up, the night markets on the main streets of Shengjing City have quietly become lively.

Especially during this period, as the imperial examinations approached, many unfamiliar faces appeared in Shengjing City.

Ah Yan's medical skills were excellent, and after more than a month, Lu Xiaoyun was able to slowly move around.

By this time, the war with the State of Chen must have already begun.

The battle report should arrive in a few days.

This time, the old emperor was not stingy and sent down many gifts.

Zhu Yu then recounted how he and Lu Yucheng suspected there might be another reason behind the original owner's mother's death during childbirth.

Lu Xiaoyun immediately ordered Xi Yi to go to the Lin family's ancestral home and Wei's mother's hometown to investigate the situation in detail.

However, nearly twenty years have passed, so investigating this matter will probably not be so easy.

Having been cooped up in the mansion for so long, Lu Xiaoyun was getting restless. Zhu Yu looked at her with a smile and said, "Why don't you go out for a walk?"

Lu Xiaoyun glanced at Lu Yuyan with a resentful look. It's just that she has a strict younger brother who is a doctor at home.

Zhu Yu also looked at Lu Yuyan expectantly.

Lu Yuyan felt a chill run down his spine from their stares, as if they were two children craning their necks to beg for candy from him.

He waved his hand and said, "Oh well, never mind, go ahead. But remember not to walk for too long, and take a short break every 15 minutes."

"Okay."

Before Lu Yuyan could finish speaking, he saw his elder sister being led out of the manor by a spoiled young man.

On the bustling streets of Shengjing, the silvery moonlight spilled down, illuminating a tranquil scene.

The streets and alleys are brightly lit, bustling with people, and the sounds of vendors hawking their wares and laughter intertwine to create a vivid picture of everyday life.

Lu Xiaoyun was dressed in a dark blue casual outfit, with a gold spider pattern belt around her waist. She was leaning on a cane, and her right hand was still dangling a strap. Her walking posture was extremely strange.

Even the moonlight couldn't conceal her beauty.

Zhu Yu wore a long silk dress with gold embroidery. The two walked slowly together. Although there was a significant height difference between them and Lu Xiaoyun was injured in her right leg and right hand, it did not stop them from having smiles on their faces.

As soon as they came out, they attracted frequent glances from passersby; the handsome man and beautiful woman were truly a feast for the eyes.

Then I saw the tall and handsome Prince An holding a candied hawthorn, crunching away, with glistening sugar particles hanging from the corners of his mouth, eating with great relish.

The charming and lovely "Miss Lu" would reach out to take one every now and then, but "Prince An" would raise his arm high to prevent her from doing so, taking advantage of his height.

Miss Lu puffed out her cheeks and stomped her feet angrily. Suddenly, she jumped up, grabbed Prince An's sleeve, pulled his hand down, and immediately tore off a piece of food and threw it into her mouth.

"Prince An" was so angry that he shouted loudly, while "Miss Lu" was also crunching on the candied hawthorn and skipping and hopping forward.

Passersby couldn't help but gape in astonishment. Was this the "Number One Demon King of Shengjing" they often talked about?

Is this the same "Miss Lu" who is known for her stupidity and malice?

Behind them, Prince An's attendant Jiang Chuan and Miss Lu's maid Li Feng appeared to be getting along harmoniously.

Jiang Chuan held many things he had bought in his hands, and he didn't forget to stuff an extra candied hawthorn into Li Feng's hand.

Li Feng quickly took it, but was reluctant to eat it. She raised her hand and said, "Miss, this is my candied hawthorn for you. Please don't fight with the prince for it."

Then Jiang Chuan, disregarding the things he was carrying and the pile of boxes rolling all over the ground, immediately grabbed her hand and stuffed the candied hawthorn into Li Feng's mouth.

"Nizu color?" Li Feng asked, his mouth stuffed full.

Jiang Chuanchao winked at her: "I didn't do anything, you eat quickly, this is yours."

Li Feng thought Jiang Chuan was being too stingy; it was just a candied hawthorn.

Lu Xiaoyun was so angry that she refused to move. She sat down on the curb, threw down her crutches, and stood there, saying, "My feet hurt, I can't walk anymore."

Zhu Yu smiled faintly, walked over, took out the candied hawthorn that was half-eaten in his mouth, and handed it to Lu Xiaoyun's mouth: "You're stingy."

With a "whoosh," Lu Xiaoyun rolled the candied hawthorn into her mouth and squinted her eyes in satisfaction: "Sweet."

Zhu Yu smiled and gently massaged her leg: "Does it still hurt?"

Lu Xiaoyun smiled and shook her head, seemingly quite content to have sweet candied hawthorns to eat.

"Your Highness, is this Prince An and Miss Lu? How could they... How could Prince An be like this..."

Seeing that his master's expression was not good, Zuo Xiu couldn't help but ask.

Zhu Dan stared blankly at the two laughing figures. It had been a long time since he and Yun'er had shared such laughter.

She has a sweet tooth and loves to hold a warm milk tea in her hand while doing her homework in winter, and then she will put her mouth to the side and slurp it down.

At that time, he thought they would be happy together forever.

Zhu Yu glanced over in their direction out of the corner of his eye, then looked away and used his sleeve to wipe the sugar particles from the corner of Lu Xiaoyun's mouth.

Lu Xiaoyun chewed while grinning at him.
