Lu Saburo also came to paint.

When he was painting, many men and women were around him. They whispered to each other that before Lu Sanlang finished his painting, many meanings had been revealed. Seeing Lu Sanlang's handsome and cold face, noble and aloof, the men and women were eager to spread out rice paper to paint. Across the water, Luo Lingyu sat in the pavilion and looked at the man opposite her. She saw the man sitting in front of the desk with a brush in his hand. Luo Lingyu curled her lips——

Lu Sanlang, huh! You look down on me in your heart, but you still want to paint for me?

The Flower Festival was very lively. Not only did the girls come to hang red, but the gentlemen also came to please the girls. On such a lively festival, several young men also came to join in. Lu Erlang was originally standing behind his younger brother, staring at his third brother painting his cousin Luo with an approving smile. Unexpectedly, when Lu Xian raised his head, he saw the young Hengyang King, who was also staring at Luo Lingyu with deep eyes outside the crowd.

Lu Xian was startled and quickly left his third brother.

Liu Mu played with the jade pendant on his waist, staring at the woman in the pavilion on the other side of the river with interest. It was fine on normal days, but today the women were all dressed up, which brought out the beauty of Luo Lingyu. Luo Lingyu was beautiful on normal days, but she was most suitable for a dress up, because her eyebrows were bright, her beauty was compelling, and her beauty was aggressive. She usually hid her beauty, but today she completely released it... Liu Mu picked up the pen and drew on the rice paper.

He had just made one stroke when a man appeared beside him and bumped his wolf-hair brush with his elbow. The ink on Liu Mu's brush made a heavy stroke on the snow-white rice paper, and the paper was ruined at the first stroke.

Liu Mu: "..."

His eyes were blazing with fire as he glared at Lu Erlang who suddenly appeared: "Are you sick?! Can't you see that I am painting?"

Lu Xian thought that it was because he saw it that he couldn't let you paint. In the dream, cousin Luo was not the "Goddess of Flowers" this time. You painted a picture for her to comfort her. You even went to ask my third brother to paint for her to please her. I can see that you want to please her, but why did you ask my third brother to paint for her... Lu Xian said, "Actually, everyone paints figures, which is meaningless. Your mind is different from that of ordinary people. What's the point of beauties? You should paint landscapes."

Liu Mu had a blank expression on his face, and his hand holding the pen was shaking: "..."

Lu Xiandang ignored the cold and oppressive gaze from Prince Hengyang and insisted on standing beside Prince Hengyang to help Liu Mu point out the surrounding scenery: "Look, no one paints this landscape today. The landscape is spiritual, how pitiful..."

No one is painting this landscape because everyone is painting ladies today! Liu Mu really couldn't understand why Lu Xian had been promoting his cousin Luo to him before, and now that he had a little crush on her, Lu Xian came to ruin his mood, buzzing in his ears like a fly, making him feel disgusted. How could the young master of the Lu family be so annoying and ignorant?

Lu Erlang wasted no time and Liu Mu's face was as dark as a lid. He had no choice but to follow Lu Erlang's instructions and start painting a landscape painting. As Lu Erlang was watching with satisfaction, Qi Sanlang's voice came from the side. Qi Sanlang was very embarrassed: "Erlang, did you find out what I asked you to do last time?"

Lu Jilang was at a loss: "What's the matter?"

Sai Saburo was slightly anxious and reminded him: "It is I who want Sister Luo to do the side room work!"

Lu Jilang hesitated: ...He has forgotten about it. How come Sai Saburo still remembers it?

Liu Mu, who was standing by, looked uncertain and said meaningfully, "Lu Erlang, how many people have you recommended your cousin to? Are you so afraid that she won't be able to get married?"

Lu Erlang looked at Qi Sanlang who was looking at him expectantly, and then looked at Liu Mu who was unhappy. Lu Erlang's lips moved, but he couldn't say anything: This is a big misunderstanding... Lu Erlang couldn't help turning his head and looked at Lu Sanlang who was surrounded by the crowd. This time, he saw that Lu Sanlang was gone. Lu Erlang asked hurriedly and found out that a maid had stained Lu Sanlang's sleeves when pouring wine, and Lu Sanlang went to change clothes.

The gentlemen answered like this with a knowing, ambiguous smile on their faces.

Lu Jilang: ...I understand. Sanlang was entangled by the woman again using this trick.

Lu Xian was bitter: Why were his third brother and cousin Luo each able to attract a group of people of the opposite sex? When he was busy and toiling, who knew his suffering?

Lu Xian had no choice but to find an excuse to send Qi Sanlang to help him find someone. He felt uneasy and hurried across the river to find Luo Lingyu. He wanted to remind Luo Lingyu not to be fooled by Qi Sanlang. Luo Lingyu was sitting in the pavilion picking flowers with a contented and leisurely smile on her lips. Suddenly, she heard footsteps behind her. She leaned out from behind the flowers and saw Lu Xian hurriedly going up the corridor.

Lu Xian first looked around to see if anyone was paying attention to this place, then he asked Luo Lingyu in a low voice: "No one has mentioned the matter of taking a concubine to you, right?"

Luo Lingyu was stunned and looked up: "...Take a concubine? Take me?"

She asked in bewilderment, "Who mentioned... my third cousin to me?"

Lu Xian: "...Has my third brother already told you?!"

He naturally thought that he often saw Lu Sanlang and Luo Lingyu together, so he thought that Lu Yun had already mentioned this to Luo Lingyu.

Luo Lingyu obviously understood the other meaning. She stood up suddenly, her beautiful eyes hiding anger: "He wants to take me as a concubine?! On what basis?! I'm like that to him, but he humiliates me like this? Second cousin, where is Lu Xuechen?! I want to ask him for an explanation!"

Lu Xian: "...What do you mean by 'You are like that to him, yet he insults you like this'?"

Something felt strange, as if my cousin had misunderstood something.

Chapter 51

Sitting in the pavilion, my heart is filled with chill!

Luo Lingyu never thought that Lu Yun would treat her like this - he flirted with her and teased her several times, which made her heart flutter and gave her hope. But he just regarded her as a concubine for his pleasure?

She was a girl from an aristocratic family after all. Although her family background was not as good as his, she had never been humiliated by him like this! It was true that she came to Jianye to pursue the dream of marrying into a wealthy family. She also knew that her family background was not so good, so she tried her best to win the favor of her husband. It was much easier to overcome the difficulties from her husband than to go to the elders and be scrutinized by others.

She thought she was a beautiful jade and a golden hairpin, waiting to be sold at a high price... He looked down on her, and many people looked down on her. However, she could not accept that Lu Sanlang regarded her as a concubine!
