Lele's words left Luo Lan and Leng Yu confused.

Huaiyu has a lover?

How could their parents be completely unaware of this?

"Does the Bai family know about your brother and Xinghua?"

Lele stood up and replied:

"Of course I know."

"Then why let Xinghua marry someone else?"

"Mr. Bai said that his daughter would only marry an official, not a commoner. Mr. Huang will be going to Beijing to take the imperial examination in a few days. He will definitely be in the top three. Mr. Bai is afraid that the Huang family will change their minds, so he quickly arranges this marriage before Mr. Huang goes to Beijing."

Luo Lan and Leng Yu looked at each other in astonishment. Liu Dechang slammed the table and roared,

"What a bunch of power-hungry villains! What's wrong with the people? We don't want to be officials like them. I'm going to the Bai family now to fight for justice for Huaiyu."

Seeing this, Xiaoling hurriedly pulled his sleeve.

"Dechang, don't be impatient. In my opinion, if the Bai family is really such a snobbish family, it's better for Huaiyu not to marry."

"But didn't you see how pale Huaiyu's face turned just now? He must have feelings for that girl. Our child, let alone getting into the top three, would be more than qualified to become a first-rank official. The woman Huaiyu likes was snatched away by a scholar. I can't swallow this anger."

"father……"

Seeing that Liu Dechang was angry, Luo Lan hurriedly comforted him:

"We haven't figured out what's going on yet, so don't worry. You and mom will wait at home while I go take a look."

Seeing this, Leng Yu also frowned and stood up.

"I'm going too..."

Luo Lan turned his head to look at him.

"We agreed beforehand that when we get there, don't rush to reveal your identity. We're living well here, and I don't want our peaceful life to be disrupted."

"Don't worry, my lady. I just want to go and see if the woman Huaiyu likes is worth it."

Luo Lan then instructed Liu Dechang again:

"Dad, wait for us at home. If we need you to come forward, I will send someone back to call you."

Liu Dechang breathed a sigh of relief and waved his hands.

"Your father is not senile. I was just speaking in anger. Young people's affairs should be handled by you young people! I, an old man, should just enjoy my peace and quiet at home!"

Luo Lan and Leng Yu smiled at each other, and then went out one after another.

After Huaiyu left home, he did not go to Xinghua's house, but went directly to Sheng'an Pharmacy.

He has feelings for the apricot blossoms, but he is also angry about them.

He was angry that she gave in so easily, without even giving him a chance to fight for it.

Sitting in the pharmacy, with no customers coming, he felt very irritated...

He stood up and paced back and forth in the room.

He didn't know whether he should go find Xinghua or whether he should try to fight for it.

But she was going to marry Huang Xiucai today, so would it be of any use for him to go? If he went and she ignored him, wouldn't he be humiliating himself?

"Brother Huaiyu..."

Ruan Feifei's voice sounded at this time. He frowned and looked towards the door.

Seeing her holding a fish, I hurried over to ask,

"Miss Ruan, what are you doing?"

"I caught some fresh fish this morning. I know your mother loves fish, so I wanted to send it home, but I didn't know your address, so I sent it here..."

Looking at the lively fish, Huaiyu nodded slightly and took it.

"Thanks……"

Ruan Feifei was a little puzzled by his indifference.

"Brother Huaiyu, what's wrong with you? Why do you look so ugly?"

He smiled bitterly and shook his head.

"It's okay, I didn't sleep well last night."

"Oh, is there anything I can help you with?"

"No, I don't have any guests here..."

"That……"

Ruan Feifei wanted to ask if she could go in and sit for a while, but seeing Huaiyu was not enthusiastic, she could only nod in dismay.

"Okay, then you go ahead and do your thing. I'll be leaving first."

After leaving these words, she turned and left. Huaiyu also took the fish and turned to go to the back.

Lele happened to arrive at this time. He glanced at Ruan Feifei's leaving back and called out,

"Fish girl?"

In the past, when she came to buy medicine, Huaiyu and Lele often called her like this.

She turned around and waved to Lele when she saw him.

Lele took a few quick steps, ran to her, and asked in confusion:

"What are you doing?"

Ruan Feifei smiled awkwardly.

"I'm here to bring your mother a fish."

"Then why don't you come inside and sit for a while?"

"I won't sit down anymore. Brother Huaiyu is busy..."

Lele seemed to have thought of something and suddenly realized,

"I see. He was being completely indifferent to you and didn't invite you into the house, right?"

Ji Feifei scratched her head with a smile, then nodded embarrassedly.

"Well, Brother Huaiyu doesn't seem to care about me."

Lele waved his hands to explain.

"That's not the case. He's in a bad mood today. Since you're here, come in and sit for a while. It's a good opportunity to keep him company."

"Not in a good mood? Why? No business?"

"No, Xinghua is getting married today..."

"Apricot blossom? Who is it?"

"She's the woman he likes."

"ah?"

Ruan Feifei looked at him even more puzzled.

"The woman that Brother Huaiyu loves is getting married? Is she marrying someone else?"

"yes."

Lele shrugged lightly.

"That's good. That Mr. Bai is the one who despises the poor and loves the rich. I don't want Brother Huaiyu to marry his daughter."

"But...if Brother Huaiyu has feelings for that girl, he should fight for her. Why is he just sulking here?"

As soon as she finished speaking, Huaiyu came out of the room. He looked at Lele with a serious expression.
