"Where? The one in front?" Jiang Hai immediately got angry.

When Lu Qian just came, Jiang Hai didn't pay much attention to him at first because he was not fat anymore.

I saw him wearing gorgeous brocade clothes, dismounting from his horse and walking towards me with light steps.

He has a handsome face, elegant demeanor, extraordinary temperament, and is quite handsome and elegant.

Yuchi Shuang nodded and said, "Yes, that's Lu Wan's elder brother."

Jiang Hai just remembered that the young lady from the official family had called him "big brother" just now.

Lu Qian came to the front door, nodded to everyone, and said to Lu Wan,

"I just happened to be coming to the south of the city. I heard that you came to Sister Ziling's place today, so I wanted to come and see if you were going back. We can go together."

Hearing the fat boy calling his wife so intimately and even calling her "Sister Zi Ling", Jiang Hai suddenly felt a little crazy.

Lu Qian took a step forward, bowed, and said to Yuchi Ziling,

"Sister Zi Ling..."

Before he could finish his words, Jiang Hai stepped sideways and stood in front of his wife.

Young Master Jiang raised his chin to declare his sovereignty.

"Please correct your wording and call me Madam Jiang!"

The scene suddenly became a little awkward, and everyone's eyes swept back and forth between Jiang Hai and Lu Qian.

This group of young ladies were a little excited. Are there melons to eat?

It's a bit funny to see Jiang Hai like this. Just like an animal guarding its food, it won't allow others to touch it.

Yuchi Ziling was a little conflicted behind him, but he really stood up without giving her any face.

But she felt a little bit of warmth, at least it seemed that this person still cared about her.

"Ahem, yes, yes, I'm Meng Lang, Madam Jiang, I'm sorry for disturbing you."

In the end, Lu Qian was defeated by Jiang Hai's head-raising attack and spoke embarrassedly.

"That's right, Mr. Fatty, ah, Mr. Lu, there's no need to be so polite. It's not a bother to just visit friends.

They say it is a joy to have friends coming from afar. We are so happy that Miss Lu can come to visit my wife."

Jiang Hai won this laning battle and spoke much more pleasantly, although there were still some flaws.

"It's a pleasure to have friends coming from afar. You said it's well said. I've heard that Young Master Jiang is very talented. I see today that he is indeed extraordinary."

Lu Qian picked out something nice from Jiang Hai's words to ease the awkwardness.

Jiang Hai was puzzled. Could it be that Darong didn't even know any ethics? Isn't this a perfectly normal sentence?

Yuchi Ziling quietly pinched the waist from behind. She felt very embarrassed by the scene just now. Fortunately, this guy still said something serious.

Jiang Hai took a deep breath.

"Hiss..., cough cough, that Mr. Lu has arrived just in time. Your sister is about to return home, and it would be great to have you as her brother to accompany her."

Jiang Hai still stood in front of his wife, enduring the pain without moving an inch.

"Then I won't bother you anymore. Goodbye." Lu Qian bowed again and mounted his horse.

Several young ladies from official families also got on the carriage and said goodbye.

As the carriage drove away, Jiang Hai's mouth was still twitching.

"Ma'am, can you let go now?"

"Oh, sorry, I forgot."

"Tsk, what's the matter? Did you lose your soul when you saw the little fat guy?" Young Master Jiang said a little sourly.

"You're talking nonsense again. I'm ignoring you."

After saying that, Yuchi Ziling turned and went into the mansion.

Jiang Hai quickly followed and discussed with his wife,

"My dear, although this little fat boy looks better now, you see, he is still two points behind in martial arts.

And his martial arts skills are one point inferior to mine, which means he is three points inferior to me, your husband.

Think about it carefully, isn't that the case?"

"..." Yuchi Ziling was amused by his twisted logic and turned to ask, "Are you being shameless with these points?"

"That's not possible. Just look at his demeanor, temperament, and appearance."

"Okay, okay, you're the most beautiful, almost like a peacock, with your tail spread out. You block me out completely, and I can't even see the road ahead."

Yuchi Ziling teased him with a smile.

Jiang Hai took her hand, walked side by side with her, and said,

"Your words are full of meaning. Oh, I feel melancholy."

"Okay, don't be so nervous. We're already married, so I know what to do."

"Okay, I believe that."

The two looked at each other, smiled, and walked back to the yard.

At the gate of the mansion.

Ding Shang said to Ding Wu, "Come on, money."

Ding Wu reluctantly took out a hundred coins and gave them to Ding Shang.

"I didn't expect that Mr. Lu would actually come back."

"Hehe, that's what I said. He's been going back and forth in front of our house four or five times. He must be looking for a lady but is too embarrassed to do so."

Lu Qian didn't just happen to come to the south of the city just now. In fact, he heard that Yuchi Ziling had returned and wanted to come and see her.

At this time, on the way back to Lu Mansion in the east of the city, Lu Wan was sitting in the carriage, and Lu Qian was riding beside her on horseback.

Lu Qian had a lost expression on his face, well, it was the sad look of someone who had lost their secret love.

He had a story about the fat boy and the little bully in his mind, which was very heartbreaking.

When he was little, the fat boy couldn't beat the bully and was often bullied.

However, after so many times, the older he got, the more it became a sweet memory in his heart.

Since the Lu family moved to the east of the city, the children of the two families have not been interacting with each other as much.

As they grew older, there were differences between boys and girls, and in the past few years, only my sister and Xiaobawang occasionally interacted with each other.

Some introverted little fat kids sometimes just watched the little bully from afar, and they couldn't help but feel moved when they saw the little bully growing up to be more and more graceful.

Moreover, the little bully had not married at the age of sixteen. The fat boy even imagined that the little bully was waiting for him.

So the little fat boy began to work hard and study diligently.

Thinking about passing the imperial examination this autumn, I will talk to my family and propose marriage to the little tyrant. I don't think they will object.

However, just this summer, the little fat boy's heart was broken twice. The first time was when he heard that the prince was going to propose marriage.

The little fat boy wanted to tell his family, but he didn't dare. He thought his family would not confront the royal family.

The little fat boy was so depressed and sleepless for several days that he had no one to talk to.

Later, when he heard that the little overlord had left the capital, the little fat boy regained hope. He thought that it was God who was helping him, so he calmed down and started to study hard.

Thinking that the Autumn Examination would be approaching soon, after taking the imperial examination, the little fat boy went to look for the little overlord who had turned into the white moonlight in his heart.

However, fate played another joke on the fat boy. Two months later, news came out that the little overlord had gotten married and moved to southern Xinjiang.

Moreover, she married a man who only had the title of scholar. The fat man regretted it very much.

If I had known that Bai Yueguang, the little overlord, didn't care about fame and fortune, I should have asked my family to propose marriage earlier.

The little fat boy felt lost again. On the day when the little overlord was taken away by the wedding party, he secretly ran to the south of the city and watched the party leave from afar.

It seemed as if what was being taken away was not the bride, but his fading, restless youth.

So sad...
