It was early in the morning, and the sky was still dark. The city was shrouded in a thin mist. In the humid air, there were few cars and horses on the streets. The air was thick, and occasionally the shouts of the morning vendors in the grass market and the crackling sound of sesame oil being pressed could be heard. At the entrance of this alley, two young men were fighting, and the atmosphere suddenly became tense.
See the swimming dragon stirring, the clouds and cranes forming waves, its demeanor is like flowing clouds and water!
"My dear, my dear, stop it!"
"Your Majesty, you can't do that!"
Not only were Fan Qingchen's servants frightened, but even Lu Yun's followers were frightened. These servants were the governor's followers and soldiers in the army. They had never known that this Lu Sanlang, besides holding a pen all day, also had a habit of beating people. People from both sides rushed forward to stop him, and finally pulled Fan Qingchen back from throwing punches.
Fortunately, it was a small alley, and fortunately, there were not many people on the road in the morning, and the vendors had already left the alley. The ugly appearance of these two gentlemen was not seen by others - otherwise, with Lu Yun's fame, who knows how the world would make it up.
After Fan Qingchen stopped, he was forcefully held by his servant. His cheek muscles tensed and his whole body trembled slightly. He stared at Lu Yun and said grimly: "It was you who told my father that Sister Luo was pregnant with your child, so my father wanted to break off the engagement?"
Lu Yun raised his eyebrows: "Mr. Fan can't keep secrets like this?"
The Master of the Fan Family told his son everything he said in mockery.
Fan Qingchen gritted his teeth and said, "What does it have to do with you? Whether I marry Sister Luo or not has anything to do with whether she is pregnant with your child? If I knew that you were the father of the baby in her belly, would I not marry her?"
There was a gloomy look in Lu Yun's eyes - people in those days were more open-minded.
If a man and a woman have sex before marriage, if a woman accidentally gets pregnant before marriage, or if a woman has an affair with another man and is pregnant with that man's child... they can all get married. Few people at the time expressed their opinions on this, but the top families have their own pride. For example, local wealthy families like the Lu family and the Fan family can accept a girl having an affair with someone else before marriage, but the bloodline within the family cannot be mixed. Generally speaking, such families are unlikely to accept a woman marrying with someone else's child.
The Fan family was originally dissatisfied with Luo Lingyu's background. After Lu Yun talked with Fan Jun, Fan Jun took the initiative to cancel the engagement and expressed his strong support for a good marriage between Lu Sanlang and Luo.
At this point, the love that Fan Qingchen, the fourth son of the Fan family, has for Miss Luo no longer affects the Fan family's intention to cancel the engagement. The Fan family starts to cancel the engagement, Lu Yun is proud... How can Fan Qingchen accept this?
Fan Qingchen sneered: "She is pregnant with your child? I don't believe it. My sister Luo is not someone who would give someone else a handle and let herself be passive. You might as well find a doctor and let everyone see clearly together."
He looked almost insane: "You have tarnished Sister Luo's reputation, you despicable villain, so sinister... My father was deceived by you, but I will never believe your sweet words."
"If you don't let me marry her, then I can't marry her? I watched her grow up, I protected her... I have been guarding her since she was ten years old, and I won't let anyone touch her. If someone bullied her, I would help her. If she shed a tear, I would kill that person. If the Luo family treated her badly, I would take charge of her and kill all the girls who bullied her..."
Lu Yun said calmly: "How can you help her? You just made her situation worse."
Nanyang Luo's family treated Luo Lingyu badly? How can you say bad? At most, they didn't treat Luo Lingyu as their own daughter. But in Fan Qingchen's eyes, all of these were bad. And Luo Lingyu was such a strong-willed person... She said she wanted to be a "Dodder", but looking at her words and actions, where did she have the slightest inclination? She clearly couldn't stand others controlling her life, so she was afraid and hated Fan Lang.
Fan Qingchen roared: "That's better than you! I have been waiting for the girl for four years, but you are letting her get away with it... How can you please her? I have obviously treated her better, and my Fan family is not inferior to your Lu family in any way. As long as she stays with me in Nanyang, as long as she marries me... But you have destroyed everything..."
Fan Qingchen's eyes were red, and he stared at Lu Yun with a snake-like look. His hands and feet were held by the servants and he couldn't move. He murmured softly, like a strange murmur: "I won't let you have your wish... Sister Luo is mine, even if Sister Luo is pregnant with your child, she is still mine. I love her, and I should be the one to marry her..."
Lu Yun: “…”
Even though he was in an unpredictable mood, Lu Sanlang felt a sense of absurdity in his heart, realizing that Fan Silang was so stubborn that he was not normal. Being stared at by such a person made people feel uncomfortable. No wonder Luo Lingyu told him repeatedly that she was afraid of Fan Lang... Before Lu Yun could think about it, Fan Qingchen's servants were frightened and broke out in a cold sweat. They dared not let their husband say a few more words and offend the new governor.
A brave servant directly covered Fan Silang's mouth, preventing Fan Qingchen from saying anything more. The servant laughed dryly: "Excuse me, Silang has not accepted our master's words... Our master will persuade Silang later. Please don't take Silang's words to heart. Our master, please rest assured, the Fan family will cancel the engagement as soon as possible, and wish you and Madam Luo a happy marriage. The Fan family will definitely send someone to attend the wedding banquet."
Lu Yun looked at Fan Qingchen's cold eyes and smiled slightly coldly: "I am worried about your Silang being like this... After returning, please convey my intentions to Mr. Fan. I hope that the Fan family will take good care of your Silang and not let him go out, so as not to offend my fiancée. If my wife has a miscarriage, the Lu family and the Fan family will never stop fighting."
But poor Luo Lingyu was not pregnant at all, so how could she have a miscarriage?
Lu Yun spoke with confidence and without blushing at all, so outsiders could only nod their heads.
The servants of the Fan family agreed with Lu Yun and promised not to let Fan Silang go out and offend people. Lu Yun and Fan Qingchen looked at each other coldly again. He did not trust the Fan family. When he was about to instruct his people to go to the Fan family to watch Fan Qingchen, a soldier shouted from outside the alley: "Lieutenant General Lu, Lieutenant General Lu——"
The soldier ran into the alley, and before he could catch his breath, he bowed and reported: "General, I have the latest news from the front line. The Northern Kingdom has sent envoys to our Southern Kingdom. Please arrange for someone to meet them."
Lu Yun was stunned and asked in a playful tone: "Why did the envoy from the Northern Kingdom come to the Southern Kingdom at this time?"
Isn't this still a war?
