Liang Ju's legs trembled with fear. He hadn't expected Old Wen to know such a person. If he had known, he wouldn't have sent the young master of the Han family to cause trouble.

Although the young master of the Han family was a spoiled brat, he only dared to bully poor children, or those from families like the Wen family that had fallen on hard times.

How could he dare to bully someone so important who could enter the top tier? He looked at Qin Luo with a fawning expression.

"Young master, my name is Han Ling. I acted rashly because this servant instigated me! I hope you won't hold it against me. I will definitely teach this arrogant and ignorant servant a lesson in the future!"

Qin Luo was targeting Liang Ju, and used his words to make sarcastic remarks.

"Oh! I see! It seems I misunderstood, thinking you were deliberately causing trouble for my friend! In that case, I'll forgive you this time!"

Upon hearing her words, the guards released Han Ling and Liang Ju.

Although Lao Wen was somewhat disappointed, he understood that no one would offend the powerful Han family for the sake of a servant like him.

Then, Qin Luo dismissed the guards and walked up to Han Ling.

He first touched the vine, then looked Liang Ju up and down.

"Young Master Han, if you hadn't said you were my servant, I would have thought you were my brother. Judging by your demeanor, you have more of a master's air than I do!"

Han Ling, who was already angry, became even more furious upon hearing this.

"Young master is joking. He's just a crude and frightening fellow, nothing like the imposing figure you describe!"

Qin Luo shook his head, pointed at Liang Ju's face, and began to spout nonsense.

"Young Master Han, look at him. His face is like a full moon, with red lips and white teeth. He looks like a blessed person. He probably hasn't suffered much in his life, but..."

Before Han Ling could ask what happened next, Liang Ju, who was always indulged by him, couldn't wait to inquire.

"But what?"

After asking the question, he noticed that Han Ling's expression was off, and quickly added a sentence.

"However, all this good fortune is thanks to the young master. It is thanks to the young master's usual kindness that I am able to live such a good life now!"

Han Ling's expression brightened slightly upon hearing this.

"It's good that you know!"

Unexpectedly, Qin Luo's next words directly ignited his murderous intent towards Liang Ju.

“Your servant is right. His good fortune is indeed a gift from you. If he hadn’t absorbed your good fortune, you would have passed the imperial examination long ago!”

Han Ling's face, which had just improved, turned ashen again, but he was still not entirely convinced.

"Young master, you can also read faces?"

Qin Luo had spent some time with Shui Ying, and with his talent for making up stories, fooling a spoiled brat was a piece of cake.

"I know a little bit about him. If I'm not mistaken, Young Master Han has accomplished nothing so far and is constantly disliked by his elders. But when he was young, they all praised him highly. It wouldn't be an exaggeration to say that he was a prodigy in his childhood!"

Han Ling reflected on his current situation, and it was indeed as Qin Luo had said.

I thought back to my childhood, but I can't remember anything else.

But Grandmother always praised herself, saying she would surely become a pillar of the nation in the future.

He looked at Qin Luo as if he had just woken up from a drunken stupor.

"Young master, according to you, the good fortune I was destined to have passed the imperial examination has been stolen by this lowly servant?"

Qin Luo's main characteristic is that he doesn't speak too definitively, leaving plenty of room for imagination.

“I haven’t seen anyone else, but there must be some connection between them. If you don’t believe me, go and check. Doesn’t this servant never lack money to squander and live a more extravagant life than the sons of ordinary families?”

Liang Ju, standing to the side, was so frightened that his legs went weak. He had no idea what he had done to offend Qin Luo.

Could it be that Lao Wen deliberately fabricated this to make himself disliked by the important person?

Before he could figure it out, Young Master Han looked like he wanted to devour him alive.

At this moment, Qin Luo added another sentence.

"He not only stole your good fortune, but everyone related to him will suffer. At best, they will be destitute, and at worst, they will fall seriously ill!"

Upon hearing this, not only Han Ling, but even Liang Yu himself almost believed it.

Thinking about his own family, he felt almost exactly the same as Qin Luo had described.

He wanted to defend himself, but a single look from Han Ling silenced him completely.

Han Ling believed Qin Luo's words without a doubt.

Putting aside the fact that Qin Luo, a noble person of the Eternal Heaven Rank, wouldn't deliberately slander Liang Ju over such a trivial matter...

What he had heard before had already bothered him.

He already knew that Liang Ju had a cousin who worked in the garrison, but whose family was extremely poor.

Another cousin is beautiful, but she has been suffering from a serious illness for a long time!

Although Han Ling is a spoiled brat, he has been taught by renowned teachers since childhood and would certainly not expose his family's shame to others.

He was indignant inside, but outwardly he calmly bowed to Qin Luo and took his leave.

"Thanks to your guidance, young master, I have finally understood. I have some matters to attend to, so I will take my leave now. May I ask your name? If we have the chance to meet again in the future, I will certainly invite you for a drink!"

Qin Luo knew he was in a hurry to deal with Liang Ju, so she bowed to him without wasting a moment.

"His surname is Qin, and his given name is Luo. Young Master Han has something to attend to, so please go ahead. We'll meet again someday. One last reminder: don't let him come into contact with anyone else, or he might cause you some trouble!"

Han Ling bowed to her again, saying, "Thank you!"

After saying that, he turned around and took the trembling Liang Ju away, not even bothering to attend the afternoon auction.

Old Wen, who had watched the whole thing, was filled with a mixture of doubt and admiration, wishing he could have Qin Luo show it to him too.

He only spoke weakly after following Qin Luo back to the Heavenly Rank.

"Young master, no, master, could you please read my face?"

Qin Luo was slightly taken aback upon hearing this.

You believe me?

Wu Hua, who overheard their entire conversation, burst into laughter, clutching her stomach.

"Hahaha~ You actually believed her nonsense! Hahaha~"

Qin Luo glared at it, and Wu Hua immediately shut up, then stuffed pastries into her mouth.

Qin Luo looked at Lao Wen and explained seriously.

"The reason I said that is because my friend was swindled out of all his money by Liang Ju, and I wanted Han Ling to kill him to avenge my friend!"

Upon hearing this, Lao Wen seemed to wake from a dream.

"I see. How did you know about the relationship between Young Master Han and Liang Ju's relatives when he was a child? You're amazing!"

Qin Luo shook his head modestly.

"What's so special about this? Think about it carefully. Which male member of a wealthy family wasn't praised by his elders when he was a child? As for Liang Ju's relatives, guess who I just delivered the food to?"

Old Wen's eyes widened in surprise after hearing her analysis. He hadn't paid much attention when she called him "Brother Liang" earlier, but now he understood.

"The officers and soldiers of the garrison! No wonder, no wonder you just told Young Master Han not to let Liang Ju contact anyone else, were you afraid he would ask his own family for help?"

He then thought for a moment and said, "That's not right! Liang Ju has already swindled that soldier out of all his possessions, how could he dare to ask him for help?"

Qin Luo sighed, thinking of Liang Yu's temperament.

"My friend doesn't know that his cousin has gambled away all his savings and thinks he's trying to buy jade leaves for his little sister! If they run into each other at the door, and Liang Ju stirs things up, he'll definitely rush to save her!"

Upon hearing this, Old Wen looked at Qin Luo with eyes full of admiration.

"You are truly brilliant; you've thought of everything!"
