Before Du Heng finished speaking, Luo Lingyue frowned slightly and interrupted Du Heng: "Stop! Status and position are not an obstacle to love. As long as you two truly love and like each other, nothing else matters!" Her eyes were firm and confident, showing her support and determination for this relationship.
Luo Lingyue thought for a moment and asked again: "Du Heng, do you have a house in the capital?"
Du Heng replied, "I have a small house with two courtyards, which was given to me by the sect leader. When I save up some money, I'll upgrade to a house with three courtyards! When I get married and have children, the bigger the courtyard, the better!"
Luo Lingyue was very satisfied after hearing this: "Great! Du Heng, after we return to the capital, you can come directly to the General's Mansion to propose marriage! As for Liuli's dowry, I will pay for it!"
Du Heng's eyes sparkled with gratitude and joy after hearing Luo Lingyue's words. He hadn't expected Luo Lingyue to be so open-minded and willing to help them achieve this marriage.
He said excitedly: "Thank you Miss Luo for your love and support! I will definitely cherish Liuli and give her a happy life!"
At this moment, Liuli also came over, tears welling up in her eyes. She looked at Luo Lingyue with gratitude, her heart filled with warmth and emotion. This unexpected fate seemed to have tied them together, becoming a beautiful story.
Xiao Jinghan raised his eyebrows in surprise, looked at Luo Lingfeng in disbelief, and asked, "Miss Luo would actually agree to let her maid marry a killer! This is really unexpected." There was a hint of doubt and confusion in his voice.
Luo Lingfeng gently turned the branch holding the fish and said thoughtfully, "So what if they're assassins? From what I know, the assassins of the Soul-Taking Sect specialize in assassinating corrupt officials who commit all kinds of evil. Although it conflicts with the laws of Dazhao, from the perspective of ordinary people, there's nothing wrong with their behavior! Besides, I think the assassins of the Soul-Taking Sect are pretty good!"
Then, he changed the subject and continued, "Look at Du Heng again. He has a calm and generous personality and is a responsible person. Liuli, on the other hand, is considerate and family-friendly. The combination of these two people can make up for each other's shortcomings. I believe that they will become a happy couple." After speaking, a faint smile appeared on Luo Lingfeng's face.
Xiao Jinghan didn't express his opinion immediately after hearing Luo Lingfeng's words. However, deep down in his heart, he felt an inexplicable sense of identification with Luo Lingyue's shocking behavior.
Perhaps, it is Luo Lingyue's unique vision and unconventional way of doing things that makes her so different!
Liuli blushed shyly as she handed the grilled fish to Du Heng. Du Heng took the fish and then walked aside to carefully pick out the fish bones with a dagger and removed them completely. Then he handed the fish meat back to Liuli and said gently, "You eat first! I like to chew on fish bones!"
Linglong, watching from the side, frowned and complained with a grin, "I'm really impressed by you two young couples. Your sweet love is almost making our teeth sour!"
Du Heng responded seriously, "Don't worry, Miss Linglong. You will definitely meet a good man who is devoted to you and truly loves you in the future!"
Hearing this, Linglong's cheeks instantly turned red, and she shouted angrily: "Liuli! Take care of this guy in your family!"
Liuli smiled and gently tugged at the corner of Du Heng's clothes, but Du Heng still said to Linglong seriously, "Miss Linglong, I'm so sorry that my words just now offended you! But men should get married when they are old enough, and women should get married when they are old enough. Miss Linglong will get married eventually! I think..."
Liuli quickly reached out and covered Du Heng's mouth, interrupting him anxiously: "Alright! Stop talking!"
Linglong was so angry that she jumped up and down, yelling at Luo Lingyue: "Miss! Look at this guy!"
At this time, Luo Lingyue smiled and said, "Oh! He is a fool! Don't bother with him. Say less, or he will really make you sick!"
After a brief pause in the mountains, the group rushed non-stop towards Jiangning...
At noon, Luo Lingfeng and the others finally arrived at the gate of Jiangning City. From a distance, they saw a luxuriously decorated and imposing carriage parked at the gate.
An elderly servant saw the flag of the General's Mansion and immediately walked towards the carriage, shouting, "Miss! The General's Mansion has arrived!"
Before he finished speaking, the curtain opened, and a graceful woman hurriedly got off the carriage and walked forward quickly. She stopped in front of the general's carriage, bowed gracefully, and said softly, "Chen Yourong is here to welcome you all!"
Luo Lingyue gently lifted the carriage's curtain, and the sight before her startled her. Standing outside the carriage was a woman with eyebrows as dark as distant black, eyes as clear as autumn water, and a radiant gaze that seemed to embody an endless amount of charm.
Her eyes were deep and bright, like the vast night sky dotted with stars; her eyes were filled with the passion and dreams of youth, as well as the wisdom and calmness of the years.
Her lips, plump and elastic, seemed ready to utter a witty remark at any moment. The slight upward curve of her lips betrayed her love for life and her positive attitude. Clearly, she was an intelligent woman who not only excelled in expressing her own feelings and thoughts through words, but also knew how to listen to the voices of others.
After just a quick glance, Luo Lingyue felt an inexplicable fondness for the person in front of her. She quickly jumped off the carriage, walked quickly to Shen Yourong, and introduced herself with a smile, "Miss Shen, I am Luo Lingyue, the seventh daughter of the General's Mansion!"
Seeing Luo Lingyue's enthusiasm, Shen Yourong quickly returned the greeting and said softly, "Hello, Miss Luo!"
Luo Lingyue couldn't help feeling a little strange when she heard Shen Yourong being so polite to her, so she laughed and waved her hands and said, "Miss Shen, why are you so polite? We are a family from now on! If you don't mind, just call me Xiaoqi!" After that, she winked at Shen Yourong mischievously.
At this moment, Luo Lingfeng and Xiao Jinghan also stepped out of the carriage. Seeing this, Luo Lingyue quickly pulled them in front of Shen Yourong and introduced them one by one: "This is my sixth brother, Luo Lingfeng, and the elegant and handsome man standing next to him is my fiancé, Xiao Jinghan!"
Xiao Jinghan had never expected Luo Lingyue to suddenly mention their relationship in front of Shen Yourong. Especially when he heard the word "fiancé," he couldn't help but mutter to himself, "Actually... there's no need to say that!" However, he couldn't directly refute her, so he could only helplessly smile bitterly in his heart.
Shen Yourong bowed to Luo Lingfeng and Xiao Jinghan as instructed. When she looked up, her eyes fell on the energetic guards on both sides of the carriage. She couldn't help but sigh in her heart: This general's mansion is really magnificent!
