…

Let’s not talk about how Old Lady Lu discussed Lu Sanlang’s marriage with the head of the Lu family, the old prince and others, and how she persuaded them. Luo Lingyu didn’t know about this. The cousins ​​who came to the house to escape the summer arrived at the same time, and as if they had made an appointment, they all said goodbye and went home. Before Jiang Wanyi left, she cried and her eyes were red. She glared at Luo, who had become thinner and more beautiful because of her illness, with great resentment.

It turns out that men just love beauty.

Even a person like my third cousin is so vulgar and only loves beautiful women.

Only when she thought of Luo Lingyu's beauty could Jiang Wanyi accept it a little. If she said that Lu Sanlang loved more than just Luo Lingyu's beauty, Jiang Wanyi would not be able to accept it. For a noble girl like Jiang Nulang, she would rather Lu Sanlang only loved her beauty than admit that she had other qualities that were inferior to Luo Lingyu.

The Danyang Lu residence was mostly empty. Without the beautiful ladies, the house became much quieter. In the hot summer, cicadas were chirping. The maids were holding bamboo poles and dancing outside the yard to pick cicadas.

The cicadas chirped incessantly. Luo Yunhuan, the young lady who was writing by the window, could no longer bear it. She jumped out and shouted that she also wanted to pick a cicada to play with.

A little later, Lu Chang, the son of the Lu family, shyly came to visit his cousin in the yard and was stunned to see that his cousin looked more like a boy than he did. Miss Luo rolled up her sleeves, rolled up her trousers, and jumped up to catch cicadas. Lu Chang, the son of the Lu family, looked up at the lush tree and called his cousin to come down dizzy.

Luo Yunhuan made a face, she never paid attention to what this little cousin said. The young lady also teased Lu Chang, angering Xiao Silang. Lu Xiao Silang immediately pulled up his sleeves and wanted to climb the tree, not wanting to lose to his little cousin.

Luo Lingyu sat by the window and could see her younger sister and her little cousin playing in the yard. Cousin sister and cousin... her younger sister was still young, so Luo Lingyu didn't care much. She even had a twinkle in her eyes, not quite agreeing with her younger sister getting too close to Xiao Silang.

The Lu family would never allow both Luo daughters to marry into the Lu family. One female ruler of poor origin who would make the Lu family give up some of their interests would be enough.

But...it all depends on my sister.

If her sister likes it, she will do everything she can to fulfill her sister's wish.

While thinking about all these in a messy way, the words kept coming out of her pen. Those who are familiar with Luo Lingyu's handwriting can tell that this girl has changed her font. Although Luo Lingyu is not as talented as Lu Sanlang in calligraphy, who can write in more than ten different fonts, she has always admired Xunmei Jushi and has worked hard to practice two fonts. Although the second font is not written very well, it is probably okay to fool people.

After writing the letter, she asked the maid to find out when Lu Erlang would be back. At dusk that day, Lu Erlang returned home, and the girl who had just recovered from her illness and whose figure was as slender as Xi Shi came to look for him. Luo Lingyu held a letter that was said to be sent from the Luo family in Nanyang, and said anxiously that Aunt Luo in Nanyang seemed to be ill and she wanted to visit her.

Luo Lingyu argued confidently, with a look of sadness in her eyes: "You must be seriously ill to write to me. Otherwise, Nanyang is in chaos now, and my aunt and the others would not want me to go back. Second cousin, my third cousin entrusted me to you that day, can you send someone to send me to Nanyang?"

The beauty of the country and the city attracted the attention of men in the world like water, and she herself knew it. With her beauty, ordinary people could not protect her, so she could only marry into a wealthy family. At the same time, in the war years, she should not wander around. The dangers she encountered when she went out were no less than other girls.

Luo Lingyu did not dare to take her few servants back to Nanyang, so she had no choice but to beg her second cousin who was easy to talk to. She wanted to go to Nanyang in person to explain the things that were not explained clearly in the letter to Lu Sanlang. It would be better if she could resign from the Lu family after she persuaded her second cousin.

The night breeze blew gently, and the young men and women standing in the corridor talking had their sleeves fluttering, looking dignified and beautiful.

Luo Lingyu was full of confidence and didn't think Lu Erlang would reject her. But this time, just as she was about to smile, Lu Erlang's body trembled slightly. His eyes narrowed and he blurted out, "No! You can't go to Nanyang!"

Lu Erlang was frightened and broke out in a cold sweat, sensing the threat of a nightmare. In the dream, he was escorting his cousin to Nanyang... Now he was going with his cousin again, wouldn't it be exactly the same as his dream? Wouldn't the same action lead to the same outcome? Lu Erlang could never agree to this.

Lu Erlang walked into the house with a sullen face and swung his sleeves. His cold look frightened Luo Lingyu, who had never seen Lu Erlang show such a displeased expression to her. Luo Lingyu was even more puzzled, and followed her second cousin, softly explaining her reasons and persuading Lu Erlang. Lu Erlang just frowned, and he did not agree with anything she said.

The young man sat down with a sullen look on his face, flipping through the book casually. Luo Lingyu stood aside, feeling embarrassed and angry. Usually, only Sanlang Lu would make her feel so embarrassed. How could she tolerate any young man looking down on her? After the girl was discouraged, she turned around and was about to leave. She turned back and provoked him, "It doesn't matter if you don't send me off. I will ask for help from His Royal Highness Prince Chen. Before my third cousin left, he not only asked you to help take care of me, but also Prince Chen. With Zhou Lang's help in pleading for me, and Prince Chen is my third cousin's best friend, His Royal Highness Prince Chen will definitely send someone to send me to Nanyang."

Lu Jilang: "You are not allowed to go!"

Luo Lingyu: "Why? You promised your brother to take care of me."

He stood up quickly, his face as gloomy as ink. Lu Erlang was a poor speaker and could not match his sharp-tongued cousin. He blurted out, "Because I dreamed of you and me, my third brother is dead!"

Luo Lingyu was stunned.

My heart suddenly felt empty.

She murmured, "It's just a dream..."

Luo Lingyu, who was good at observing people's expressions, noticed that Lu Erlang looked uncomfortable and seemed to regret what he said. Lu Erlang's subtle expression change made Luo Lingyu suspicious and she looked at him twice. But her second cousin was already wary of her and didn't want to say more... Luo Lingyu couldn't figure it out, so she had to leave first.

Before leaving, she comforted Erlang: "It's just a dream. Dreams are the opposite of reality. Don't worry, cousin."
