Chapter 19
Chang Yang became a frequent visitor to the Nan'an Marquis' Mansion. Every three days, he would go to Qingdai Pavilion to check Lu Qiaosong's pulse, and then go to Lanfeng Pavilion to sit for a while, and occasionally bring some small gifts to Lin Qingyu.
Chang Yang was very happy to be able to see his senior brother often. But every time they met, there was always Young Marquis Lu beside my senior brother. Young Marquis Lu looked like he got along very well with him, and was happier to see him than his senior brother, as if he was the senior brother. Not to mention telling Lin Qingyu his plan, he didn't even have the chance to talk to Lin Qingyu alone.
On this day, before Chang Yang came to the Nan'an Marquis Mansion, he went to the most popular cake shop in the capital and queued for half an hour to buy two boxes of his senior brother's favorite plum cakes. As soon as he stepped into the door of Lanfeng Pavilion with the food box in hand, he heard the clucking of chickens mixed with Lu Wancheng's hearty laughter: "Junior brother is here again. It's enough for you to come. Why bring a gift? Come in quickly."
Before Chang Yang could see the scene in the courtyard clearly, a colorful shadow flew past his eyes. When he came to his senses, a chicken feather fell from the sky and landed on his head. With the chicken feathers in his hair, he looked like a filial son selling himself on the street to bury his father.
Chang Yang froze again: "Young Marquis, what are you doing..."
Lu Wancheng smiled: "Cockfighting."
Chang Yang then saw clearly that the thing that had just flown past him was a rooster with half of its feathers missing and a wilted look. That flight should have been its last act of stubbornness. After flying, it fell to the ground, dying. The instigator - another rooster, stood proudly at Lu Wancheng's feet with his toes raised and his ambition high, and shook his head in a dashing manner.
Looking at this mess, Chang Yang couldn't help but feel heartbroken: God is blind, how could his senior brother, who is a god-like figure, marry such a dandy boy with nothing but good looks.
Lu Wancheng's unreliability made him more determined to save his senior brother from the dire situation: "Young Marquis is fine. Where is my senior brother?"
"He thought I was too noisy, so he went out to relax. It's about time for him to go back now." Lu Wancheng smiled at the door, "Hmm? Speak of the devil and he will appear."
Lin Qingyu took Huantong to the garden and buried a few jars of medicinal herbs under a tree. When he came back and saw the lively scene in Lanfeng Pavilion, his forehead twitched.
It was because the medicine he prescribed for Lu Wancheng was too effective, and the weather was getting warmer day by day, which gave Lu Wancheng the energy to "have fun" at home, making the entire Lanfeng Pavilion a mess.
Lu Wancheng faced Lin Qingyu's cold gaze and said with a smile, "Qingyu is back just in time, our junior brother is here."
Chang Yang: "...Senior Brother."
Lin Qingyu looked at Chang Yang's head and said, "Why do you put a chicken feather in your hair?"
Lu Wancheng turned his face away, not giving face: "Pfft."
Chang Yang was extremely embarrassed. He quickly took off the chicken feathers on his head and said awkwardly, "Brother, I bought you two boxes of plum blossom cakes. You can try them later."
Lin Qingyu nodded: "Thank you."
"Qingyu, you're back late." Lu Wancheng leaned over and picked up the big rooster that had won him many victories. "You didn't even appreciate the heroic fighting posture of my big baby."
"I don't want to appreciate it." Lin Qingyu said coldly, "If you've had enough fun, just ask someone to clean up the yard. It's so messy, aren't you afraid of being laughed at by outsiders?" Lin Qingyu glanced at the rooster in Lu Wancheng's arms and changed the subject, "But... this chicken looks familiar."
Lu Wancheng: "Hmm? Do you know it?"
"It seems like they know each other." Lin Qingyu thought for a while, "It seems that on the day of our wedding, it was it that took our place in the wedding ceremony."
Lu Wancheng was shocked and asked, "You remember all this?"
“I have a photographic memory.”
"..." Lu Wancheng looked down at the rooster in his arms with a very complicated expression. Chang Yang also looked over, and there was a hint of... envy in his eyes?
Lu Wancheng handed the rooster to Huantong and instructed: "Go and find out if this is the rooster that you and Qingyu used for their wedding ceremony."
As Chang Yang expected, the three of them were gathered together again today, and he couldn't find a chance to talk to Lin Qingyu alone. To Lin Qingyu, he was a foreigner and it was inconvenient for him to stay for long, so he had to leave after chatting for a few words.
Time was running out, so he couldn't tell his plan to his brother. So he settled for talking about the interesting things they had experienced while traveling with their master. For example, you can go boating on the river in the Jiangnan water town; walk through the countryside of Shu and taste authentic farm snacks. One winter, they were delayed in their journey because they rescued a wounded hunter and were forced to spend the night in a ruined temple. It was the coldest time of the year with a biting north wind. They, their master, a fellow apprentice and a servant gathered around a fire to keep warm. Their master felt sorry for them and took off his coat to cover them.
Chang Yang said this while observing Lu Wancheng's expression. No matter what he said, Lu Wancheng always looked very interested and asked in a supportive manner: "And then?"
“Is this true?!”
"Ah, people."
"Ah, that's life."
…
Lin Qingyu couldn't bear it any longer and interrupted Chang Yang: "How is Lu Qiaosong's condition?"
Chang Yang said, "The Third Young Master Lu is almost fully recovered. But Second Miss Lu said she wanted to take good care of him, so she asked me to come to the mansion every three days to check the Third Young Master's pulse as usual."
Lin Qingyu and Lu Wancheng looked at each other knowingly and said, "It's getting late, Junior Brother, go back earlier."
Chang Yang was quite unwilling: "Then I will come to see you another day."
After Chang Yang left, Lin Qingyu said, "Lu Niantao knew about my relationship with Chang Yang, but still asked him to treat Lu Qiaosong. There must be something fishy going on."
Lu Wancheng opened the food box that Chang Yang had sent him: "She must want to use your junior brother to do something."
Lin Qingyu was thinking about what Lu Niantao might do. Seeing someone brewing tea again, he narrowed his eyes and said, "You seem to be enjoying the cakes my junior gave me."
"Don't be so stingy, Qingyu," Lu Wancheng took a small bite of the plum cake while drinking tea, and a smile spread across the corners of his lips. "I would also share the food given to me by men and women with my buddies. Good brothers should share happiness together."
Lin Qingyu asked: "Which men and women?"
Lu Wancheng raised his eyebrows: "Why, you are allowed to have classmates, but I am not allowed to have them?"
Lin Qingyu said bluntly: "You have been raised in a deep courtyard since you were young, and your reading and writing were all taught by teachers at home. Where did you get your classmates? Even if you did, where did your female classmates come from?"
Lu Wancheng's smile faded, and he was silent for a while, then he said slowly: "Doctor Lin seems to have a lot of questions to ask me."
"I didn't ask anything." Lin Qingyu said calmly, "I didn't ask the young marquis to tell me anything."
Lu Wancheng held his chin with his hand, his tone hard to tell whether it was true or false: "You can ask, maybe I will answer you truthfully."
Lin Qingyu paused and said, "Forget it, I'm not interested."
Rather than forcing for the answer, he would rather Lu Wancheng tell him on his own initiative. Otherwise, even if he asked, Lu Wancheng might not tell the truth.
Lu Wancheng looked at Lin Qingyu for a while, then smiled and changed the subject: "Qingyu, let's have dinner together tonight? I'll ask the kitchen to stew the rooster."
Lin Qingyu walked down the stairs and asked casually, "Which one?"
"The one you married with."
Lin Qingyu was puzzled: "How did I offend you?"
Lu Wancheng blinked and said, "I don't like it."
Lin Qingyu sneered: "You are so capable, why didn't you get up and marry me?"
Lu Wancheng: "...blame me?"
Three days later, Chang Yang came to the Marquis' Mansion as usual to take Lu Qiaosong's pulse. Lu Qiaosong was extremely impatient and kept urging her to continue. After taking her pulse, he left in a hurry without even asking for the result.
Lu Niantao said apologetically, "Third brother must have something urgent to do. Doctor Chang, I'm sorry."
Chang Yang said, "Second Miss, you are too polite. Third Young Master is no longer in danger and can resume his normal routine."
Lu Niantao smiled and nodded: "Thank you for your hard work, Doctor Chang. In this case, you won't have to make this trip every three days in the future."
Chang Yang was stunned for a moment, then said dejectedly: "In that case, I'll take my leave then."
After Chang Yang left, Lu Niantao summoned her trusted maid and told her, "Follow Doctor Chang and don't let him find out. Report immediately if there is anything unusual."
It is not easy to enter a noble mansion like the Nan'an Marquis Mansion. Chang Yang knew very well that today might be his last chance. If he missed it, he didn't know how long he would have to wait. Chang Yang weighed the pros and cons again and again, made up his mind, and wrote a note with the pen and paper he carried with him. He was worrying about how to give the note to Lin Qingyu when he saw Huan Tong coming from the direction of the garden with two medicine jars in his arms. He stopped her without hesitation.
Lin Qingyu always brought Huantong with him when he traveled, so Huantong and Chang Yang were quite familiar with each other. Huan Tong accepted Chang Yang's note and said, "Don't worry, Master Chang, I will definitely bring the things to you."
Chang Yang warned: "Be careful not to let other people know about this, especially the young marquis."
Huantong agreed hesitantly: "That... okay."
When Huantong returned to Lanfeng Pavilion, Lin Qingyu and Lu Wancheng were playing chess by the window. Lu Wancheng had lost seven games in a row and was looked down upon by Lin Qingyu, who said that he played chicken better than him. Lu Wancheng pressed down a chess piece and said, "I only learned a little bit when I was a kid, and it's pretty good to be able to play like this."
Lin Qingyu sneered: "You are so modest."
The two of them couldn't finish it in a short time, and Chang Yang was urging them to continue. Huan Tong leaned close to Lin Qingyu's ear and whispered, "Master, I want to tell you something."
Lin Qingyu frowned and walked away: "Just say it if you have something to say."
Huantong glanced at Lu Wancheng and said in embarrassment: "But..."
"Speak." He and Lu Wancheng had been tied to the same boat for a long time, and there was nothing that happened in the Nan'an Marquis' Mansion that he could not tell in front of Lu Wancheng.
Since the young master had said so, Huan Tong said loudly, "Master Chang asked me to deliver something to the young master, and he also said that the young marquis must not find out!"
Lin Qingyu: “…”
Lu Wancheng threw the chess piece onto the chessboard and said slowly, "Okay, I'm a little angry."
He may treat it as a show if you act in front of him, but it would be too much if you do small moves in private and without any martial ethics.
Lin Qingyu asked: "What is it?"
Huantong took out the note and Lin Qingyu opened it in front of Lu Wancheng. There were only three words written on it: See you in the back garden.
"The moon is above the treetops, and we meet after dusk." Lu Wancheng chanted the poem in a weird tone, "Will our Doctor Lin accept the invitation from Junior Brother? I'm so curious and looking forward to it."
Lin Qingyu could probably guess the purpose of Chang Yang's private appointment with him, which was nothing more than taking him away from the Marquis' Mansion. He pondered and said, "Junior brother's every word and action in the mansion should be under the control of Lu Niantao and others. I think I know Lu Niantao's intentions."
"You just found out?" Lu Wancheng laughed. "Even a blind person can see how much Junior Brother loves you. Don't blame him for trying to use this to cause trouble."
Lin Qingyu was displeased: "Can you please speak properly?"
Lu Wancheng raised his voice: "No, I'm about to be poached by someone, how can I still speak properly?"
"Aren't we good brothers who have sworn brotherhood and share food? How can you say you're trying to poach us?"
Lu Wancheng was speechless. After calming down, he realized that what Lin Qingyu said made sense - yes, how could a good brother cheat on him?
As long as he treats his wife as a brother, he will never be cuckolded in his life.
Lu Wancheng lay back in his chair and said lazily, "You're right, just pretend I didn't say anything."
Lin Qingyu sneered and said to Huantong, "Go tell Chang Yang to leave the mansion and not come back."
"Wait." Lu Wancheng's eyes were dark and deep, as if he was planning something bad. He suddenly smiled, raised the corners of his lips with a sly smile, and said, "Good brother, I think you should go meet your junior brother."
Lin Qingyu raised his eyebrows: "What do you mean?"
Not long after, Huan Tong and Hua Lu came out of Lan Feng Pavilion one after another. One went to find Chang Yang who had been waiting for a long time, and the other went to Mian Yue Pavilion where Aunt Pan was.
Huan Tong found Chang Yang and said that the young master had read his letter. There were too many people in Bai Rihou's mansion and it was inconvenient to meet him. He asked him to wait in the mansion for another hour, and they would meet again after dark.
Chang Yang had no objection. Huan Tong brought him to an uninhabited house in the side courtyard of the mansion and said, "Master Chang, please wait here. When the time comes, the young master will come over naturally."
This wait lasted from dusk until dark. During this period, Huantong also brought him a meal.
It’s not long since the summer solstice, and the days are getting hotter day by day. After nightfall, the remaining heat gradually dissipates and it becomes slightly cooler from time to time. If I could have a beautiful woman by my side at this moment, and go to the garden under the moon to admire the lotus and listen to the frog sounds, it would be worthwhile to live up to such a beautiful scene.
Unfortunately, the two "beauties" of Lanfeng Pavilion are destined not to have such leisurely mood tonight.
Lin Qingyu pushed Lu Wancheng out of Lanfeng Pavilion and handed the wheelchair to Hua Lu: "I'm leaving."
Lu Wancheng nodded: "Go ahead."
Lu Wancheng watched Lin Qingyu leave. Looking at the cold and lonely back under the moon, he felt a little uncomfortable in his heart. He attributed this discomfort to the possessiveness common among men, and thought it would be fine if he controlled it a little. It was like when his favorite beautiful toy as a child was borrowed by someone else, and he couldn't help but think about it, fearing that the toy would be dirty by others.
...Wait a minute, my brainless junior brother won't act on impulse and make a passionate confession, and then go on to perform the scene of pinching the waist and forcefully kissing me against the wall.
Hold.
Lu Wancheng was lost in thought when he heard Hua Lu ask him, "Master, where are we going now?"
Business was more important, Lu Wancheng collected his thoughts and said, "Back garden."
Lin Qingyu took advantage of the moonlight, walked through the back garden and came to the house where Chang Yang was waiting. After knocking three times on the door, it opened from the inside.
Chang Yang couldn't hide his excitement: "Senior Brother!"
Lin Qingyu whispered, "Let's talk inside if you have anything to say."
There was a servant's oil lamp in the house, which could only illuminate a small area around it. Chang Yang stared straight at the person in front of him. In the dim light, there was a flickering fire in the senior brother's eyes, and looking at it for a long time made one's breathing become hot.
Before he had seen enough, Lin Qingyu went straight to the point: "Go ahead."
Chang Yang looked at the slightly parted red lips, was in a trance for a moment, and said in one breath: "Brother, come with me!"
really.
Lin Qingyu sighed and asked calmly: "Where are you taking me?"
"We can go anywhere, but we must leave the Marquis' Mansion and the capital!" Chang Yang's eyes were full of longing. "We can go find our master and live in seclusion in the mountains with him, okay?"
Lin Qingyu pressed his eyebrows and said, "The marriage between Lu Wancheng and I was granted by His Majesty himself. If I leave, what will happen to the Lin Mansion?"
"I have also thought about this matter." Chang Yang said, "Brother, do you still remember that Master has been trying to prepare a fake death drug?"
Lin Qingyu finally became interested. When he was traveling with his master, he once came across a young woman hanging herself from a tree in the southeast. After rescuing the man, the young woman cried and told about her experience. She was sold to a local dignitary as a concubine by her gambler father. She was beaten and insulted every day, and was threatened that if she ran away, her family's lives would be used to pay off the debt. The young woman had nowhere else to turn but to commit suicide.
From then on, the master had the idea of preparing a drug to fake death.
Lin Qingyu asked: "Master, did you succeed?"
Chang Yang nodded repeatedly: "Yes, Master gave it a name, called 'Wangsheng Pills'. He also passed the prescription to me. Unfortunately, my skills are not good enough, and I can't make the medicine even with the prescription, but I know that my senior brother can definitely do it."
"So, you want me to fake my own death and get away with it?"
"Yes, as long as everyone in the world believes that Senior Brother is dead, they will definitely not cause trouble for the Lin Mansion."
"Good idea." Lin Qingyu said calmly, "But what's the point of being a dead person?"
Chang Yang said without hesitation: "As long as Senior Brother is free, he can do whatever he wants. Isn't that enough?"
"What I want to do...ha." Lin Qingyu smiled, as if he was laughing at Chang Yang's naivety. "Didn't you say you understand me? You don't even know what I really want? I don't want to be an ordinary doctor. I want to be the best. I must read all the books in the world and have an inexhaustible supply of rare and precious medicinal materials. And these can only be given to me by the Imperial Medical Bureau. I don't reject wealth and power, and I also like to see others kneeling in front of me and trembling. Do you understand?"
Chang Yang stared at Lin Qingyu blankly, as if he was looking at a stranger.
"You know nothing, yet you keep saying you want to take me away. That's ridiculous." Lin Qingyu stood up, "I'll let Huantong take you away."
Things were far beyond Chang Yang's expectations. In his eyes, his senior brother was a gentleman with great talent and a bright and elegant demeanor. Wealth and power were too inappropriate and too inconsistent for him, and he really couldn't accept it for a while. However, seeing that his senior brother was about to push the door and leave, he couldn't help but say what he was thinking: "So can Young Marquis Lu give you what you want?"
Lin Qingyu paused.
"Young Marquis Lu will not live long. He is just living a muddle through life, eating and waiting for death. What is the difference between him and a cynical playboy? How can such a person…"
Lin Qingyu interrupted coldly: "Then what do you want him to do."
Chang Yang was stunned: "...Senior Brother?"
"You also know that Lu Wancheng is suffering from a terminal illness and is holding on with only one breath. You see him talking and laughing with you, he is not serious at all. Do you know how many medicines he has to take and how many injections he has to take every day? He is out of breath after walking a few steps, and he will fall into a coma if he catches a little cold, and he may never wake up again; when he has a cough, he can't sleep all night, and he has to endure it for fear of waking me up - what else do you want him to do with such a person? Take the imperial examination, or join the army to serve the country? He only has half a year left, why can't he be a dandy who doesn't have to worry about anything in the last six months?"
Lin Qingyu rarely talks so much to others. He knew very well that Lu Wancheng was lazy, dissolute, and out of touch. He also couldn't stand Lu Wancheng's attitude of not taking everything seriously, and even ridiculed him in front of him. But this does not mean that others can look down on Lu Wancheng.
After a long silence, Chang Yang asked in a low voice: "Brother, do you... like him?"
Lin Qingyu did not hesitate: "I am not into homosexuality, and neither is he. If I must describe the relationship between him and me..." Lin Qingyu smiled softly, "It can be considered as a close friend who was forcibly tied together by fate."
"I don't like men." Chang Yang smiled bitterly, "I know, it's me... that made Senior Brother upset."
Lin Qingyu wanted to say that you are not to the point where you can bother me, but when he saw Chang Yang's distraught expression, he took back his words.
Chang Yang took a deep breath, took out a prescription from the medical box, and said with a forced smile: "This is the recipe for the Wangsheng Pills, please accept it, Senior Brother. I... I'm leaving."
Lin Qingyu nodded slightly: "Huantong, see the guest off."
Chang Yang walked out of the house, looked up at the bright moon in the sky, and sighed suddenly. He came all the way to the capital for his senior brother, but now the person in front of him is no longer the one he loves, so perhaps it’s time for him to leave.
No, his senior brother was never what he imagined. He was the one who imposed his own ideas on his senior brother. Brother is right, it is ridiculous for him to behave like this.
Chang Yang was feeling sad when he heard Huan Tong say, "Don't be sad, Master Chang. My young master is such a great man. He will definitely not let himself be trapped in this hellhole of Nan'an Marquis' Mansion forever."
Chang Yang laughed at himself: "I am too self-righteous."
Huan Tong patted Chang Yang's shoulder and said, "Let's go, Master Chang. It will be too late if we are any later."
Chang Yang asked: "Why is it too late?"
Huan Tong smiled and said, "The young marquis knows that Master Chang might be sad tonight, so he specially invites you to watch a good show."
As the night deepened, a dark cloud silently blocked the moonlight and the lights in the mansion went out one by one. In the back garden with many trees, it is difficult to see the road under your feet unless you have a lantern.
Lu Qiaosong hid behind a tree with Aunt Qiu, staring at the two figures by the pool and asked, "Are you sure it's them?"
Aunt Qiu said, "It can't be wrong. Doctor Chang is wearing this color today, and the young master is also wearing white."
Lu Qiaosong gritted his teeth and said, "Let's go! Don't let them run away!"
Nanny Qiu immediately jumped out from behind the tree. She had no other talent but a loud voice. Her howl could be heard by half of the mansion: "Hey, isn't this the young master? At this late hour, the young master is not here to serve the young marquis' sickbed. Who is he sneaking around here admiring the moon with?"
The howl came unexpectedly. The man in white was startled and lost his balance, almost falling into the water. Fortunately, the man in green beside him quickly caught up with him and managed to stabilize his body.
The man in blue shouted, "Who is talking nonsense?"
When Aunt Qiu heard the voice, her legs immediately went weak.
How could it be the Marquis’ voice? Nanny Qiu staggered and tried to run back, but was stopped by Hua Lu who appeared from nowhere. Hualu said loudly, "Why is Aunt Qiu in such a hurry to leave?" She looked behind the tree again, "Hey, the Third Young Master is here too. The First Young Master is in front watching the moon with the Master, why don't you go and take a look?"
Lu Qiaosong was forced to stop his attempt to escape and cursed in his heart.
Hua Lu's voice was not as penetrating as Nanny Qiu's, but it was loud enough for Marquis Nan'an to hear. Today he rested in the Mianyue Pavilion as usual, and Pan helped him change into regular clothes. Seeing the bright moonlight outside and saying that the lotus flowers in the pond were in full bloom, Pan asked him if he wanted to go for a walk by the pond to enjoy the moon.
Marquis Nan'an was also a scholar. He couldn't bear to miss the moonlight, so he brought Pan to the backyard, where they happened to meet his eldest son who also came to appreciate the moon. It was a rare opportunity for the father and son to have a few words together, so Mrs. Pan thoughtfully gave them some time under the pretext of preparing food.
Lu Wancheng took the initiative to mention the Queen. The queen was always concerned about her sister's only child. She would send eunuchs to visit her palace from time to time and often give supplements as rewards. Marquis Nan'an asked him to wait until he felt better and then go to the palace in person to express his gratitude.
The two were chatting peacefully when suddenly there was a shout, which scared Lu Wancheng so much that he almost fell into the water. Marquis Nan'an knew that his eldest son was frail and could not stand being frightened. If he was not careful, he might fall seriously ill. Seeing Lu Wancheng's pale face and bloodless lips, he was furious: "Who is talking? Come here!"
Lu Qiaosong and Nanny Qiu were "invited" by Hua Lu to come before Marquis Nan'an. Nan'an Hou said coldly, "You two, master and servant, are shouting and yelling in the back garden late at night. What are you thinking?"
Lu Qiaosong said with a stiff face: "My son is here to enjoy the moon, too."
Lu Wancheng smiled weakly, "My third brother didn't bring the singing girls and actresses we keep in the courtyard to appreciate the moon, but brought Aunt Qiu instead. He is really in a refined mood."
Lu Qiaosong knew he was in the wrong and could only endure it.
Nan'an Marquis looked at Aunt Qiu and asked, "What were you yelling about just now?"
Madam Qiu said hurriedly, "In reply to the Marquis, I accompanied the Third Young Master to enjoy the moon. I saw two people by the pond from afar and thought they were Young Master and Doctor Chang. This is not my fault. Everyone in the mansion knows that Young Master and Doctor Chang are brothers from the same school. They often meet and have a very close relationship. That's why I misunderstood."
Nan'an Hou said in a deep voice: "Is there such a thing?"
"Father, Doctor Chang came to Lanfeng Pavilion not to see Qingyu, but to see me." Lu Wancheng said calmly, "Doctor Chang and I hit it off right away and had a great conversation. It was me who asked him to come to Lanfeng Pavilion often to talk with me and relieve my boredom."
Hua Lu echoed, "That's right. When Doctor Chang comes to Lanfeng Pavilion, he always talks to the eldest young master. Sometimes the young master is not here."
Nan'an Hou's expression eased a little, and he asked, "Who exactly is this Doctor Chang?"
Lu Wancheng said calmly, "It's the doctor who treated my third brother for kidney deficiency."
"Kidney..." Nan'an Hou pointed at Lu Qiaosong's nose and said angrily, "Speak clearly to me!"
He only knew that Lu Qiaosong was sick, but he didn't know what the illness was. Lu Qiaosong has a criminal record, and when the word "kidney deficiency" is mentioned, everyone will think in that direction.
Lu Qiaosong's face flushed red, but he couldn't lose his temper in front of Nan'an Hou: "Father, you misunderstood. I just caught a cold..."
Marquis Nan'an naturally didn't believe it. However, he couldn't conduct such an immoral matter in front of his servants. "Come with me to the study." After saying that, he turned away angrily.
"Father...!" Before Lu Qiaosong came, Lu Niantao had repeatedly told him that no matter what the other party said, what he had to do was to prove the relationship between Lin Qingyu and Chang Yang, even if it was fake, he had to create suspicion. But he never expected that Lu Wancheng would point the finger at him instead.
He couldn't escape severe punishment, but Lu Wancheng shouldn't have an easy time either.
Lu Qiaosong staggered to Lu Wancheng and said with a fierce smile, "Sister-in-law looks like that, there are more than one or two people who admire her. Brother, you can tolerate it this time, but can you tolerate it next time? No matter how magnanimous you are, I'm afraid you can't stand your people being coveted by so many people in secret, right?"
"Third brother also knows that he is mine. Since he is mine, I would like to ask you all..." Lu Wancheng smiled, his eyes swept over everyone one by one, and glanced at Chang Yang vaguely. His tone suddenly changed, hiding some dangerous edges, "Don't move, don't touch, don't think."
The author has something to say: The school hunk, the salty fish gong: Good brother, next time I will definitely go to the wedding with you in person.
