As soon as she sat down, Lu Changqing saw Mu Beiqin and Lu Baixue sitting in the front row. She was about to avoid them, but Aunt Fang walked towards her without any hesitation.
Lu Changqing met Mu Beiqin first, but when he looked at Lu Baixue, he couldn't find the way to put himself in a lower position than her to greet her.
Mu Beiqin finally found an opportunity to make fun of Lu Baixue, so how could she let it go so easily? She smiled and teased from the side, "Concubine Lu is originally a concubine of the Lu family. As a legitimate daughter, you don't have to be respectful to Concubine Lu."
Seeing that Aunt Fang seemed to be angry, Lu Baixue quietly shook her head at her, then smiled at Mu Beiqin, "Big sister and I are sisters, so we don't need to care about those false formalities. But since Big sister is here, please allow me to have a private conversation with Big sister."
Mu Beiqin was not stupid. Since Lu Baixue said this in front of the Lu family, she would naturally not disapprove. She just nodded and said, "You go and do your thing."
Lu Baixue thanked him, then nodded to Lu Changqing, "Please follow me, big sister."
Lu Changqing didn't know what she was going to do, but when he saw Aunt Fang nodded, he had to follow Lu Baixue.
Lu Baixue led Lu Changqing from a small path to the front yard, where many young men were sitting, writing poems and appreciating flowers. She pointed at a person and asked, "Big sister, have you seen that person?"
Lu Changqing looked in the direction of Lu Baixue's finger and saw a middle-aged man with a beard. Just as he was curious, he heard Lu Baixue say, "That man is Master Fu Anfu. He just lost his wife two years ago and now he wants to remarry. And that person--"
Lu Baixue changed the direction of her finger, this time pointing to a fat man with a greasy face, "That person is the son of Minister Fei. His family background is comparable to ours, but I heard that he is a very lecherous person and has countless romantic debts outside."
Lu Changqing interrupted in a panic, "Third sister, what do you mean by telling me this?"
"Big sister, aren't you asking even though you already know the answer? Didn't my mother tell you why we came here today?"
Lu Baixue smiled at Lu Changqing, her eyes seemed to have a different meaning, "Although father intends to help big sister find a good marriage, big sister should also know that you are not young anymore, and you have escaped marriage with a man before. How can a decent family be willing to have such a daughter-in-law? In this case, big sister can only suffer some grievances."
Lu Changqing stepped back hastily, "No, I don't want to—"
There was a sudden pain in his arm. When Lu Changqing lowered his head, he found that Lu Baixue was holding his arm tightly. He didn't know where she got such strength that he couldn't break free at all.
Lu Baixue's eyes were dark and shiny, but they were full of malicious thoughts. "If you don't want to, go and help me do something."
As she spoke, she asked Lu Changqing to put his ear close to her, and then whispered a few words to her.
Lu Changqing's expression suddenly changed, and he said in panic, "How can this be possible?"
"Why not?"
Lu Baixue asked back without caring at all, "If big sister doesn't want to, then we can only choose between that Lord Fu and Mr. Fei."
With Lu Baixue's words, Lu Changqing made up her mind in an instant. She didn't say anything, but the expression on her face was distorted.
Lu Baixue grabbed Lu Changqing's hand and said with a smile, "Then I will wait for good news from Big Sister at the banquet?"
After saying that, she pushed Lu Changqing forward, then turned and left.
Lu Wanben was listening to Shen Yan and Lu Changxin talking, when he suddenly saw two figures walking by. One of them looked very familiar to him, so he pushed Lu Changxin and said, "Brother, look over there."
"What?"
Lu Changxin put down his wine glass, then looked in the direction of Lu Wan's sight, and then his face showed the same confusion as Lu Wan's, "The back of that woman looks a lot like Changqing."
Shen Yan narrowed his eyes, “The man next to him is Fei Peng.”
As he spoke, a flash of disgust seemed to pass across his face, and then he said, "He is also someone who is very familiar with Song Ping privately."
Lu Wan immediately understood what this familiarity referred to, and then shuddered with a chill, shaking his head and said, "If that's the case, then the girl who just passed by must not be the eldest sister."
With Lu Changqing's personality, she would look down on ordinary men, let alone someone who is so dishonest and has accomplished nothing.
Lu Changxin also nodded. Looking at his nervous look before, it seemed that Lu Changqing had tormented him a lot during this period of time.
The three of them quickly turned their attention back. Not long after, a little maid came to Lu Wan and whispered, "A young master asked me to bring you a message. He said he just came back from Nanyang and wants to see you."
Lu Wan asked back with some disbelief, "Nanyang?"
At the same time, he pondered carefully in his mind, and finally found a person in an almost forgotten corner, "Is that person He Wentian?"
The maid shook her head and said, "The young master didn't say anything. He just said that if you are free, you can meet him behind the rockery."
Lu Wan then nodded and said thank you, and after the maid left, she nodded to Shen Yan, “I’ll go take a look.”
Chen Yan had just listened to the conversation between Lu Wan and the maid without making a sound. Now, seeing Lu Wan's anxious look, he wanted to stop her, but he didn't know what he thought of, and he didn't say a word.
After Lu Wan left, he turned to look at Lu Changxin and asked, "Who is He Wentian?"
Lu Changxin looked at Lu Wan's back and replied with a smile, "He is the legitimate son of the Nanyang He family. He lived in the capital for a few years when he was young. Lu Wan was naughty when he was young, so he and Mr. He got to know each other through fighting."
