Zhuang Rongjun looked up at the yard where Lin Liansheng was, and finally stopped and walked towards his own yard.

Steam was rising in the room. Zhuang Rongjun was sitting in the bathtub, her long black hair disheveled and her brows full of fatigue. She must have been very tired, but she quickly finished her bath and got dressed.

-

"You said, the young general is back?" In the room, Lin Liansheng, who was cutting cloth, paused and slowly put down the scissors.

"Yes. The young general will definitely come to see you as soon as possible." The servant was happy for Lin Liansheng. "By the way, I just heard that the young general went to the capital this time for you, Master Liansheng."

Lin Liansheng tilted his head, surprised: "For me?"

"The young general is here."

The woman had a slender figure, and her snow-white dress was spotless. She should have been a stunningly beautiful person, but because of her pair of captivating peach blossom eyes, she was transformed into a seductive enchantress. Her beautiful eyes were filled with indescribable affection.

A white jade pendant hanging around her waist glowed brightly in the sunlight.

The woman seemed to be coming against the light, dazzling Lin Liansheng's eyes for a moment.

By the time he reacted, the servant had left at some point and Zhuang Rongjun had already arrived in front of him.

Lin Liansheng realized something and withdrew his gaze, but he could still feel the burning gaze on him.

Zhuang Rongjun half leaned against the wall, reluctantly withdrew his gaze from Lin Liansheng and looked at the table beside him: "Are you planning to make clothes?"

"Yes." Lin Liansheng replied with his eyes lowered. Zhuang Rongjun's birthday was coming up, and Lin Liansheng wanted to give her a gift, but the only thing he could offer was his needlework.

Zhuang Rongjun suspected it was for Lansheng. She opened her lips, wanting to ask if there was a share for me, but she was afraid of being sentimental, so she swallowed her words.

After that, neither of them spoke again, and the room fell silent for a moment.

Zhuang Rongjun felt a little annoyed. She always felt that after returning from her trip, Liansheng seemed to be much more distant from her.

"By the way, this is what Mr. Xue asked me to give to you." Lin Liansheng handed the album to Zhuang Rongjun.

Zhuang Rongjun picked up the album casually, but after turning a few pages, his face suddenly darkened.

Just by looking at the album, Zhuang Rongjun understood what Master Xue meant.

As expected, Lin Liansheng said, "Mr. Xue said that after you come back, he wants you to go to Duke Xue's mansion to discuss your marriage."

Zhuang Rongjun slammed the album shut with a loud bang. She looked up at Lin Liansheng and asked, "What about you? Do you want me to get married?"

Lin Liansheng said calmly, "How can Liansheng interfere with the young general's marriage?"

His words of separating him from Zhuang Rongjun made Zhuang Rongjun's already irritable heart even more uncomfortable.

Lifting Lin Liansheng's chin with his fingertips, Zhuang Rongjun asked, "Liansheng, look at me and ask, do you really want to see me marry someone else?"

Lin Liansheng's breathing hitched, his nails digging into his palms under his sleeves, causing a slight pain. He was forced to look up, his long eyelashes trembling. He met Zhuang Rongjun's eyes, his throat dry as he said, "Liansheng is only here to repay a favor. I've been in the General's Mansion for several months. When the one-year period is up, Liansheng will take Lansheng away."

Lin Liansheng's words were like a knife stabbing into Zhuang Rongjun's heart, causing her heartbroken. Her eyes were filled with sadness and grievance. "So you've always wanted to leave? Have you never thought about staying?"

Lin Liansheng curled his fingers, feeling bitter in his heart.

Who is he and what qualifications does he have to stay?
