When the painting of ladies spread, some people in Luoyang who wanted to curry favor with the powerful started to pat their chests and guarantee that they had seen Chen Xue in order to show that they had a good relationship with the famous scholar and that they had seen the painting of ladies. Chen Xue disappeared, and those who had seen Chen Xue before also began to praise her beauty. After the defeat of the Northern Kingdom and the departure of the former governor of Luoyang, the atmosphere in Luoyang was depressed, and discussing Chen Xue's beauty became a deformed way for the people of Luoyang to comfort themselves.

Due to various coincidences, people spread the story of Chen Xue in a very detailed way, as if this woman really existed.

How many people swore that they had met Chen Xue, how many people boasted that they had drunk and chatted with Chen Xue, and some people even made up stories about their romantic affairs with Chen Xue in an ambiguous tone... The north and the south are geographically distant from each other, and Lu Sanlang and Lu Yun, who were far away in Jianye, had no idea that Chen Xue was regarded as a peerless beauty by the people of Luoyang.

The less people see me, the more astonished I am by my reflection.

When it was brought to the South, only paintings of ladies were brought to the South, which was lucky for Lu Yun.

When the girls were admiring paintings with Chen Xiu and had different expressions, the steward hurried into the yard and told the girls that the Chen family was surrounded by Lu Sanlang and his troops. Chen Xiu's face changed drastically. She didn't expect Lu Yun to be so bold. When the girls were shocked, Chen Xiu walked out and asked in a loud voice: "Why did you surround the Chen family? Has my Chen family ever committed any crime? Lu Sanlang couldn't have done this to me... He also discussed knowledge with my father. He and I..."

The steward smiled bitterly and said anxiously: "Girl, don't be silly! The Chen family's private army has already gone to resist, but the army led by Lu Sanlang is under the command of Da Sima Temple, he..."

As they were talking, the sound of weapons colliding and fighting came from the front yard. The Chen family left Jianye last year, saying that they were going to escape the summer heat, and they never came back. Chen Daru wrote to Jianye many times, asking his daughter to go find her. Last year, Chen Xiu was determined not to go, but this year, after Lu Sanlang got married, Chen Xiu was sad, but her heart softened, and she had already started to sell off her family business and prepare to go find her parents... Who knew that before she left, this would happen!

Chen Xiu didn't believe it and found thousands of excuses for Lu Yun. She and the steward ran to the front yard and were shocked to see that the Chen family's private army had been defeated and the army led by Lu Yun surrounded the place. After the army restrained the Chen family's army and servants, they ran towards Chen Xiu. Chen Xiu's face turned pale, but she saw that the army looked straight past her - "Search! Check everyone's information! No one is allowed to leave!"

Chen Xiu was shocked to see the army searching the house. She had no idea what they were looking for, so she gritted her teeth and said angrily, "Stop it! Stop it! You are so brave! You dare to search the Chen family, you..."

She stopped talking abruptly because she saw Lu Saburo walking behind the army.

He wore a wide-sleeved white robe on the upper body, a black skirt on the lower body, a jade crown on his head, and a golden belt around his waist. Lu Yun stood at the gate of the Chen family compound with a cold look in his eyes. He looked at the entire century-old compound expressionlessly, and the sun shone on his face and body. He was as beautiful as a lily and jade tree, with a face like a crown of jade. His face was so elegant and graceful that it made one forget the world... Chen Xiu looked at him, fixed her eyes, and trembled, "Sanlang!"

Lu Yun: “…”

Lu Yun looked at her, his eyes dimmed, but his face remained expressionless: "Don't panic, Madam Chen. Someone reported to Sima Temple that some refugees were causing trouble in Jianye City. Today, we are only here to investigate those refugees and ask them some questions. The Chen family will not be affected."

Chen Xiu's expression was cold and clear. The manager was anxious beside her, but she gave him a look and rebuked him. She straightened her back and walked towards Lu Yun: "Is this why you searched the Chen family? You don't take me seriously. Are you afraid of something? You don't take our past affection seriously at all. You treat me like this..."

The girl was so arrogant and kept staring at him.

Lu Yun began to feel a headache.

Still the same.

Chen Xiu is still the same.

She always thought that he was a noble person like her, but she was sincere, and he was just pretending to avoid trouble. Chen Xiu did not mention the Chen family, but only mentioned herself, just like every time before. Chen Xiu refused to accept that Lu Yun was not the kind of person she thought. She felt that after nearly ten years of relationship, Lu Yun would not be calm...

Chen Xiu's eyes were cold and fiery, with tears in her eyes. She felt aggrieved towards Lu Yun, and tremblingly reached out her hand to pull Lu Yun's sleeve: "Lu Sanlang, you actually searched my house..."

A smiling female voice came from behind Lu Yun: "It's just routine business, why are you so sad, Sister Chen?"

Chen Xiu's outstretched hand suddenly froze: ...Oh my God, this nightmare-like voice sounds so familiar!

She looked stiffly and saw the girl step over the threshold, her skirt trailing on the ground like a plum blossom. Her makeup was delicate, her eyebrows and eyes were bright, and Luo Lingyu walked gracefully. She smiled and looked at her. Chen Xiu screamed in her heart, and instantly remembered the countless times she had fought against Luo Lingyu in the past and suffered a miserable defeat.

Chen Xiu's voice changed: "What are you doing here?!"

She looked at Lu Yun in disbelief: "... Lu Sanlang, are you, are you humiliating me like this?! Do you hate me so much?"

He knew that she and Luo Lingyu were not getting along, and that she admired him. He married Luo Lingyu, and brought her here today, today, to laugh at her and humiliate her...

Lu Yun was most annoyed by Chen Xiu's behavior. In the past, he always wasted energy trying to get rid of this woman. Now that Luo Lingyu was here, Lu Yun winked at Luo Lingyu, who nodded knowingly. In Chen Xiu's opinion, the two of them were flirting in front of her. Chen Xiu was so angry that she was shaking all over, and she was so ashamed that she couldn't speak. When she was shivering all over, Luo Lingyu took her hand affectionately, and said with a smile: "What are you thinking, sister? Sister, please don't worry too much. My husband and I have no ill intentions. I came here to explain just because I was afraid that you would misunderstand. I am so afraid that you would be suspicious..."

Chen Xiu pushed her.

Luo Lingyu grabbed her arm forcefully and wouldn't let go.

Chen Xiu was ashamed and angry: "Go away! I..."

She turned around and wanted to go back to the backyard to check the situation, but Luo Lingyu naturally held her back and refused to let go: "Don't worry, sister. Those refugees caused trouble for you last year and caused a lot of conflicts between the Chen and Lu families. Why do you want to suffer the loss and control them?"

Chen Xiu sneered: "Of course I am not you. You rescue refugees just for fame, but I start and end well." She paused, looked at Lu Yun again, and said earnestly, "Sanlang, look, the woman you married..."
