Shen Nian sighed and said, “Han’er…you should just forget about Lingling!”
Lu Han said, "That's not something I can do. If I like someone, how can I give up so easily? That's not love."
Shen Nian frowned and said, “It seems that I have to find you a wife as soon as possible.”
…
In Lu Ze's courtyard.
Qi Yuning tossed and turned, unable to fall asleep, so she woke Lu Ze and asked, "Do you think Han'er's feelings for Lingling don't seem like those of a brother and sister? The red sandalwood hairpin he gave her today looks like he carved it himself."
Lu Ze said, "You worry too much."
Qi Yuning said, "I'm not overthinking it. Brother Han's surname is Lu now! If he really has this idea, what's the difference between him and a beast?"
Lu Ze said, "Although his surname is Lu now, he is not a legitimate son of the Lu family."
Qi Yuning frowned and said, "But after all, he is now considered the eldest son of Lu. I just hope Brother Han won't do anything rash."
In Yuemi Courtyard, when Lu Yiling was about to fall asleep, she felt a cold wind coming from the window.
When Lu Yiling opened her eyes, she saw a man standing upright in front of her, his silver armor shining in the moonlight.
"ah!"
Lu Yiling was suddenly awakened.
Qi Zhiyuan laughed heartily and said, "Finally, I've gotten my revenge! Cousin, happy birthday! I finally made it. I thought you wouldn't be able to celebrate your fifteenth birthday. This is my birthday gift to you."
Qi Zhiyuan took out two silver notes worth five hundred taels from behind his back.
Lu Yiling took the two five-hundred-liang silver notes and glared at Qi Zhiyuan, saying, "Cousin, I'm already a grown-up. I'm already fifteen. You can't enter my boudoir at will."
"That's how you scared me the day I went to North City. Besides, you're going to marry me someday anyway, so why can't I just come in casually? You promised me you'd marry me when we were little!"
Lu Yiling said, "You and I look 70% alike. I don't want to marry someone who looks like me."
Qi Zhiyuan said, "It's just right that we look alike. You can't play tricks on me. When are you going to Yangzhou? When you come back from Yangzhou, I'll come and propose marriage."
Lu Yiling said, "September 12th."
Qi Zhiyuan said, "That will be three days later. We have to wait until we return from Yangzhou before proposing marriage."
"It's useless even if you come to propose marriage. I don't like you and I won't marry you."
Qi Zhiyuan frowned and said, "If you don't marry me, who are you going to marry? Zhong You? He's already married in Beicheng. Or Lu Han? He has the same last name as you, Lu!"
Lu Yiling said: "He doesn't have to have the surname Lu!"
Qi Zhiyuan opened his eyes wide and said, "Lu Yiling, do you really want to marry Lu Han? Are you crazy? He is your cousin."
Lu Yiling said: "I didn't say I wanted to marry him."
Lu Yiling knew very well in her heart that Lu Han would never change his surname back to Huang, and she and Lu Han would never be husband and wife in this life.
