"Linzhou Prefecture used to be the southern border. The girls there are all fierce and shrewish. What good is beauty if they're not? Can they compare to the younger sister of our Great Zhou's little prodigy? She's beautiful, fierce, and well-educated—that's what I like!" Peng Silang laughed. "Huo Yanyu, just tell me if you're willing or not! Stop with the nonsense, okay? I, Peng Lang, only like you. I like your fierceness, your beauty, your eloquence, and that you can scold me without using any vulgar language. From when I was eight years old until now, ten years later, you're the only girl in my heart. Do you see me playing with other girls? Do you see so many pretty girls around you? Do I tease them? I only play with you, only tease you, only like to see you laugh, see you cry, see you angry, see you bewildered!"
"Huo Yanyu, don't just talk about what kind of partner my mother wants to find for me. What about you? If your mother finds you a gentle, humble, and handsome young man, will you ignore me?" Peng Silang said, sounding aggrieved.
Gu Xin and Gu Si rubbed their arms, tsk, they had goosebumps all over!
"My mother has already looked for other women for me, hasn't she? If I wanted one, I would have already done so." Huo Yanyu frowned.
She sensed that they had been tricked.
Madam Peng never rushed to find a partner for her eldest son, who was already twenty years old at the time. If it weren't for Sister Hui's appearance, he probably still wouldn't have a partner now.
So why is Madam Peng so eager for her youngest son? Peng Silang is only eighteen years old, which is completely against the Peng family's custom of marrying at twenty!
Besides, isn't it Grandpa Peng who wants the Peng family's sons to get married quickly? Madam Peng doesn't care about this matter.
It has to be said that the prodigy sister, who was not troubled by emotions, immediately understood the key point. She looked at Peng Silang and asked, "I have never told anyone about my mother finding me a partner. How do you know so much about it?"
Peng Silang pursed his lips.
Seeing his expression, Huo Yanyu guessed that she must have been right, and asked again, "Did you hear something on the way? Did someone say that my mother is going to find me a partner? Was it Sister Huihui or Sister Zhen?"
Gu Xin and Gu Si shook their heads. "Hanhan, you're smart, we'll take care of you. But you're wrong. You probably don't expect it to be your parents (second uncle and second aunt)."
Peng Silang pursed his lips and said, "Aunt Huo mentioned it to Aunt Gu. Aunt Gu told me not to bully you, because you're a grown woman now."
Huo Yanyu slapped her forehead. It was actually her second uncle and aunt! Why were they acting like children? "So, after what they said, do you think you don't want me to get married? You won't be happy if I get married?"
Peng Silang nodded: "Mm."
Huo Yanyu asked again, "So, even if your second aunt doesn't say anything, you'll keep bullying me?"
Peng Silang nodded honestly: "Yes. Brother Yuan said this is called loving without knowing it. I'm the kind of person who's a bit naive. And since we're quite close, unless something happens, I won't understand my own feelings!"
Huo Yanyu kicked Peng Silang.
Caught off guard, Peng Silang was kicked in the knee and cried out in pain, "Ouch, what are you doing?"
"Shh!" Huo Yanyu suddenly grabbed his hand and pointed to the tent next to them.
Peng Silang was confused, but he was still happy to be led by Huo Yanyu, so he obediently followed along.
Gu Xin and Gu Si couldn't hear the voices outside, but they could see the two people moving hand in hand. They immediately understood what Huo Yanyu was going to do and asked Helian Yi in unison, "Is there a place to hide?"
