The gentlemen surrounding Luo Lingyu followed her gaze and saw Lu Sanlang and the girl who was talking to him nonstop. They smiled knowingly and introduced Luo's daughter, "This is also a sight in Jianye. Madam Chen comes from a well-educated family and is a talented woman. She has been the 'Goddess of Flowers' for three consecutive years. There are many gentlemen who want to come and ask for her hand in marriage...but I don't know where she got the obsession from to keep staring at your third cousin."

"For Lu Sanlang, she has endured for many years. Now she is almost nineteen years old, but she just refuses to get married."

"All the gentlemen in Jianye know that she is Mu Sanlang. Who would dare to ask for her hand in marriage? Chen Daru is usually a very kind person, but he can't do anything about this daughter."

"But with Madam Chen's persistence...if she waits a few more years, and the Chen family puts pressure on the Lu family for two more years, and begs for two more years, maybe Lu Sanlang will really marry her."

The gentlemen laughed indifferently, teasing in their laughter, and found it interesting. Marriages between famous families have always been based on interests rather than personal desires. Lu Sanlang didn't seem to be familiar with any of the girls. The one he was most familiar with was probably Chen Xiu, who was chasing him...

Luo Lingyu lowered her head, slightly puzzled. Could it be that someone like Lu Sanlang could be pursued by persistence? Wasn't it too easy for her to give up? Look at Madam Chen...

On the other side, Chen Xiugao was talking eloquently, boasting about his knowledge to Lu Sanlang. Lu Sanlang kept a sullen face and said nothing. Suddenly, Lu Sanlang saw the figures of King Hengyang and King Chen walking towards this side from the other side of the woods. King Hengyang tilted his head, as if he was making sarcastic remarks to King Chen. King Chen lowered his head and said nothing the whole time... These two people were so adorable in Lu Sanlang's eyes, and Lu Sanlang called out loudly: "Your Highnesses!"

Prince Chen Liu Chu looked over and saw that Lu Yun was being entangled by Chen Xiu again. Although he was annoyed by Prince Hengyang, he found Lu Sanlang's annoyed look amusing. Prince Chen nodded: "Xuechen."

Lu Yun came over immediately and accepted the anger of King Hengyang together with King Chen. Liu Mu believed that it was Liu Chu who was behind this, killing the assassin he caught and messing up his plan. Liu Mu kept making trouble for King Chen in the court, and after the court, he still disliked King Chen and Lu Yun. When he met King Chen at the banquet, he ridiculed him. King Chen was silent and only listened but did not say anything, which made King Hengyang even angrier -

Does not making a noise mean you are looking down on him?

Does not speaking mean you don't want to bother with him?

How come this nephew has an even crazier personality than him?

As soon as Lu Sanlang came over, Hengyang King Liu Mu said uncertainly: "Lu Sanlang also came to this banquet to welcome me? He must be a weasel!"

Lu Yun: "What you said makes sense, sir."

Prince Hengyang: "..."

He glanced suspiciously at the silent Chen Wang Liu Chu, and then at Lu Sanlang who remained calm. He suspected that there was something wrong with these two people. They looked calm even when he was about to point his finger at them and scold them... Maybe weirdos just get along well with weirdos?

Seeing Lu Sanlang join the King of Hengyang and the King of Chen, Chen Xiu stood there with a more resentful look. Those young men were different from the others. The others were good at talking, but those were good at politics. It was hard for her to get past them. But Lu Yun was trying to get rid of her... She was not a fool, how could she not understand?

Lu Saburo has given her the cold shoulder countless times!

Chen Xiu suppressed her reluctance and walked back to the girls' desk. She was so unhappy that she kept looking at Lu Yun. After looking for a long time, she occasionally found that when Lu Sanlang was listening to the King of Hengyang, his eyes were casually looking in a certain direction... Chen Xiu looked over and saw that it was Luo Lingyu. Of course it was Luo Lingyu, because among the girls here, only Luo Lingyu had the most men around her. The direction Lu Yun was looking at was definitely not wrong.

Chen Xiu was secretly surprised: This girl... seems to be the new girl from the Luo family who lives in Lu's house?

Someone nearby who was close to her said, "Yes, Mrs. Luo has been living in the Lu family for almost a month. I heard from the Lu family that she came to live with her aunt. With her aunt watching over her, she can probably stay in the Lu family until she gets married."

Chen Xiu pursed her lips, clenched her hands in her sleeves, and said nonchalantly, "That's nothing. There are many poor relatives who have taken refuge with the Lu family."

When Han, who was sitting on the same couch with them and peeling lychees with her head down, heard this, she immediately raised her head and sneered, "What do you know? Two days ago when we went to Zhongshan to play, we saw with our own eyes that our third cousin was holding Sister Luo in his arms and shooting arrows together. The look in our third cousin's eyes when he looked at Sister Luo..."

The Han daughter said, "I think Sister Luo may be able to stay in the Lu family forever. She will marry my third cousin."

Chen Xiu turned around and recognized that this Han girl was also related to the Lu family. No wonder she called Lu Yun "third cousin". She sneered in her heart. The Lu family had no girls except Lu Qingyi who was already married. These cousins ​​went to live in the Lu family, wasn't it just for the men of the Lu family... Chen Xiu said calmly: "There are many cousins ​​living in the Lu family."

She took a sip of tea and her eyes swept across the Han girl's face calmly.

The meaning is self-evident: there are many cousins ​​living in the Lu family, but no one has ever heard of anyone marrying Lu Sanlang.

Han's daughter was so angry: "..."

The Han girl was not convinced: "Sister Luo is more beautiful than Jianye!"

Chen Xiu: "When beauty fades and love is indulged, it will not last long. With such beauty and an empty stomach, one is nothing but a thing for others to laugh at."

Han's daughter blushed: "..."

She felt a little jealous of Luo Lingyu because after staying at Lu's house for two days and playing with Luo Lingyu a few times, she realized that Luo Lingyu was not only beautiful. Luo Lingyu's outstanding appearance and her ability to please her husband made Han's daughter jealous... But! But Chen Xiu hated her even more! She had suppressed them for so many years with her reputation of "talent". She obviously liked Lu Sanlang, but she despised her cousins...

Han's daughter stood up in a rage: "Just watch, third cousin treats Sister Luo differently!"

He was forced to support Luo Lingyu because of Chen Xiu's high self-esteem.

At this time, Luo Lingyu had already left the circle of the gentlemen. Although she wanted to be friends with the gentlemen, she couldn't leave a bad reputation of only playing with the gentlemen and ignoring the ladies. Luo Lingyu found a few cousins ​​of the Lu family whom she knew, and walked over gracefully. They were seen gathered around a square table, all with their heads down, whispering, and laughing. Luo Lingyu was curious: "What are you doing?"
