Wei Yang followed behind and saw that there were empty tables and chairs nearby, but his sister didn't sit down. Instead, she went to share a table with others. Wei Yang couldn't help but feel embarrassed.

He cupped his hands in greeting to the two of them and said, "Your younger sister is mischievous; I hope you two won't mind."

Lu Shiyan kept his head down and focused on eating his wontons, not glancing at the two of them once.

Wei Yang was somewhat unhappy.

Today, so that his sister could have a good time, he deliberately concealed his identity and dressed in an ordinary manner.

Even though he concealed his identity, he still felt the man opposite him was too arrogant. If it weren't for accompanying his sister, someone like that wouldn't even be worthy of shining his shoes, let alone having the chance to sit at the same table with him.

These two lowly people are lucky to be able to sit at the same table with him; it's a blessing they've accumulated over eight hundred years.

Although he concealed it well, Jiang Tangtang could still see a hint of arrogance, disdain, and contempt in his eyes.

This made Jiang Tangtang feel very uncomfortable.

What to do? Did she beg them to come and sit at the same table with them? She has empty seats but doesn't sit there, choosing to squeeze in with them, yet she's polite on the surface but deep down she looks down on them.

She stood up and said, "Husband, let's go!"

Those who cultivate themselves are most sensitive to people's good and evil emotions. Moreover, the person in front of them is surrounded by black aura, clearly someone who has taken countless lives.

He naturally didn't want to sit at the same table with her. He put a few copper coins on the table and left hand in hand with Jiang Tangtang.

Watching the two figures walk away, Wei Yang was very dissatisfied, "What kind of people are these!"

He is the legitimate son of Prince Rui, and countless people fawn over him when he's out in public! These two are so arrogant and disrespectful.

Wei Yiling didn't care about their attitudes. She said happily, "Third Brother, did you hear that? That woman called that man 'husband.' They are an open and aboveboard couple. They're not some mistress you're talking about."

Wei Yang dismissed it, saying, "It's just a verbal address; you actually believe that?"

Wei Yiling ignored her words and said with great interest, "That man must love his wife very much. Look just now, he didn't even glance at me."

Wei Yang scoffed, "That arrogant guy, he doesn't even look at anyone properly. Don't think too highly of him."

"Third brother, why don't you believe that there are loving couples in this world? If it's a mistress, he must only be after her looks. We looked at her for so long on the pleasure boat, why don't you believe it?"

They were clearly a loving young couple. The woman would give the snacks she couldn't finish to the man. Sometimes, even though his expression clearly showed he didn't want to eat anymore, one look from the woman and he would eat again. What else could this be but love?

Nowadays, men are considered superior, and women are seen as inherently inferior. In many families, women are not even allowed to eat at the table. It's only women who eat the men's leftovers; there's no reason for men to eat the women's leftovers.

Wei Yiling felt that the man must have been madly in love with the woman to be willing to eat what she left behind.

But Wei Yang had a different opinion. He felt that it wasn't love; it only showed that the man was a coward.

The brother and sister each stuck to their own opinions, and neither could convince the other. In the end, they didn't eat the wontons and almost had a fight.

Jiang Tangtang was unaware that the two had almost had a fight because of their matter. After leaving the wonton stall, she returned to the inn with Lu Shiyan.

She had eaten all the way here, and her stomach was like a general store, having eaten a bunch of random things. As a result, not long after leaving the wonton shop, she felt uncomfortable in her stomach.

Jiang Tangtang had to abandon her travel plans and return to the inn with Lu Shiyan.

Seeing her like this, Lu Shiyan was both angry and heartbroken as he pressed her acupoints, saying, "That'll teach you to listen to advice and eat random things."

Jiang Tangtang lay on the bed groaning, "You ate too, how come you're okay?"

Lu Shiyan lifted his eyelids and glanced at her. "Can your body compare to mine?"

Jiang Tangtang thought about how he could carry her back and forth for hundreds of kilometers without any problems; his physical condition was indeed something she couldn't compare to.

She pouted, looking aggrieved.

Seeing his pitiful appearance, Lu Shiyan sighed, reached out and stroked her stomach, slowly channeling spiritual energy into her body.

Jiang Tangtang immediately felt much better.

After a while, Lu Shiyan withdrew his hand and said softly, "Take a nap! You'll feel better after a nap."

Although she felt a little better, Jiang Tangtang still couldn't fall asleep, probably because she had slept too much during the day yesterday.

She blinked and moved closer to Lu Shiyan. "What exactly does my husband plan to do in Fengyang?"

Last night I took her around to look at the terrain; it's obvious I'm planning something big.

"We don't know if it will work out yet. If it does, you'll know when the time comes." Lu Shiyan patted her back gently, like he was coaxing a child.

His movements were natural and practiced, as if he had done it hundreds or thousands of times before.

He was momentarily dazed and began to wonder again if he had lost some memories.

Jiang Tangtang didn't really want to sleep, but as he patted her gently, she felt comfortable all over, down to every pore, and eventually drifted off to sleep without realizing it.

After Jiang Tangtang fell asleep, Lu Shiyan didn't stop. He gently patted her back, one pat at a time, until his movements became lighter and lighter, and finally he fell asleep with Jiang Tangtang.

On the other side, after receiving Liu Chengfeng's order, Lin Erzhu kept a close eye on Fang Dayong and his group, planning to find an opportunity to jump out and stop them.

To his surprise, Fang Dayong didn't take Lu Fusheng's family to the valley. Instead, he led them to a village on the outskirts of the city, then found an opportunity to shake off a few of them, and one of them secretly ran away.

Fang Dayong had previously made up an excuse to keep Guo Xuantong in the city, and he had always acted honest and unassuming, so Lu Fusheng never expected that he would lie to him.

Meanwhile, Wang Shuncai sought an opportunity to send a message to Jia Mingzhou.

He didn't expect that Fang Dayong would run away as soon as he sent out the letter.

Seeing that Wang Shuncai was indeed problematic as his boss had guessed, and that Fang Dayong ultimately did not take any men to the valley, Lin Erzhu decided to remain out of the picture for the time being.

First, follow Wang Shuncai's trail and investigate where his accomplices are hiding and whose people they work for.

Lin Erzhu remained calm for the time being and had someone report the matter to Liu Chengfeng. Wang Shuncai, however, was furious.

They were just one step away from uncovering Lu Shiyan's secret, but at this crucial moment, he managed to escape.

He no longer had a kind look on Lu Fusheng's face, and angrily cursed, "What are you good for? You can't even keep an eye on such a big person? You just let him take the money and run away? Do you know how reluctant I was to spend that money? I did all this for you, how can you be so useless?"

Lu Fusheng was startled by Wang Shuncai's appearance and subconsciously shrank his neck, saying, "I'm sorry, Brother Wang, I didn't expect the Fang brothers to be like this. They were talking perfectly fine before, without any warning. I didn't expect him to suddenly run away. I'll go find him right away. He just left not long ago, so I'm sure I can find him."
