"It's nothing, it's nothing, we're just chatting and taking a walk. Mom will stay with you until you fall asleep."
Xu Yan pulled Chuanwen away, and everyone breathed a sigh of relief.
The two returned to Chuanwen's courtyard. After lying on the bed, Xu Yan began to have a heart-to-heart talk with her daughter, but Chuanwen didn't make a sound while she talked a lot.
Xu Yan turned her head and looked at him, then exclaimed in exasperation, "Didn't he just say he couldn't sleep? How come he's asleep in the blink of an eye!"
But with a smile, looking at her daughter's pretty face, the old mother felt a surge of pride and sighed, "My daughter has grown up so much, she's even engaged!"
But the smile on his face froze the next second.
【Huh? Why did they have to get rid of Zheng Yan? Did they find out he confessed to me?】
Sigh, let's go, let's all go. In the end, I'm the one who let Zheng Yan down. She was even willing to give up her status for me...
Chuan Wen was heartbroken, but Xu Yan was utterly shocked.
She didn't care that her daughter was pretending to be asleep and bringing up what had just happened, but didn't her son say that Zheng Yan had only expressed his feelings to her daughter and hadn't said that he was willing to give up his status to be with her? Wasn't this just a clear case of a secret lover?
No, no! Zheng Yan absolutely cannot be allowed to follow her daughter anymore; this could lead to trouble!
Zheng Yan, standing outside the door, felt a pang of disappointment and tightened his grip on his sword.
The next day, Chuanwen went to the girls' school and told Er Gou to have dinner there before he left.
After Chuanwen left, Marquis Changxing and Chuanhai went to the palace together.
As dusk fell, Chuanwen arrived at Su Heng's place, where Su Heng had already prepared a table full of dishes.
"Hasn't Sister Yue returned yet?"
When Chuanwen didn't see Su Yue, Su Heng said that she had gone to the shop today and would probably be back later.
"Let's eat first, I've already saved some dishes."
Su Heng gestured for Chuanwen to sit down, and Chuanwen accepted without hesitation. As expected, she still preferred Er Gou's cooking the most.
Su Heng glanced at Zheng Yan, who was holding a sword outside, out of the corner of his eye, and noticed that his face was darker than usual today. He figured that he must have been rejected by Chuan Wen yesterday, and a smile involuntarily appeared on his lips.
Eat more.
Su Heng kept putting food on Chuanwen's plate. Just as Chuanwen was enjoying his meal, Su Heng inexplicably said, "I've heard that the people of Xiaoliang are very strong. Going to Xiaoliang will be a good opportunity to learn their fitness methods."
While eating, Chuanwen glanced up at him and a big question mark appeared above his head.
The question mark immediately brought to mind abs that feel great to the touch.
Sigh, Chuanwen tried his best not to appear like a big fan of sai, but Su Heng had a smile hidden in the corner of his eye and said something even more meaningful, "Wait for me to come back."
cough!
Chuanwen choked on his food, "Huh? What do you mean? You're letting me touch your abs as soon as I get back?"
Su Heng quickly handed her water, patted her back, and said with a smile, "Eat slowly."
Zheng Yan, who overheard these words outside the door, had a face so dark it could wring water out of it. He cursed Su Heng inwardly for being despicable. At this moment, he was filled with regret. He had thought that Chuanwen was still young and that he could wait until she was a year or two older before making a move. He never expected that Su Heng would beat him to it. If he had known, he would have confessed to Chuanwen much earlier. Otherwise, Su Heng would never have had a chance!
Chuanwen happily ate two more bowls of rice and told Ergou, "You're so weak, you have to learn from others to strengthen your body and avoid getting sick later."
If Chuanwen hadn't been all smiles when she said that, Su Heng might have believed she was thinking of him so he wouldn't get sick. But it didn't matter; that was exactly what he wanted. He wanted to keep Chuanwen interested, so that the little girl would think of him more after he left.
As the two were eating, Su Heng heard Chuanwen's thoughts again: "However, how should I remind Er Gou that the savage leader is actually his long-lost elder brother?"
Su Heng was serving food to Chuanwen when her hand trembled almost imperceptibly. However, she quickly regained her balance and smoothly placed the food into Chuanwen's bowl. Chuanwen, who was eating rice and feeling troubled, did not notice anything unusual.
[Before, Brother Da Niu went to town to work and met a man looking for laborers. Because he needed to go to the next town, the price was high, and Brother Da Niu, eager to earn money, eagerly raised his hand. Who knew that before getting on the vehicle, he drank a sip of water given to him by the man and passed out. When he woke up, he found himself on a boat, but that boat...]
Chuan Wen found it a bit embarrassing to say, "That boat was a pleasure boat, cough, a boat specifically for women's enjoyment... But isn't the Great Jin Dynasty clearly patriarchal? Where are the women so audacious?"
[Oh, this is the border area between the Great Jin and the Little Liang Kingdom. Although the atmosphere isn't as open as in Little Liang, it's still much better than in the Great Jin. Wealthy families here enjoy themselves quite a bit.]
For a moment, Su Heng almost lost his composure. His older brother... had actually been... cough, he didn't know whether to say that his older brother was at a disadvantage or that others were at a disadvantage. After all, his older brother was a man, so he wouldn't have to bear too much gossip if he was... but his older brother was abducted and it wasn't his own choice!
Then, under the cover of darkness, Brother Da Niu fled. Fearing pursuers, he kept hiding in the secluded jungle. But he got lost, wandering further and further away, and eventually encountered a group of savages. Thanks to his handsome appearance and the technology of the civilized world, he was elected their leader. A year ago, Brother Da Niu finally led his savage family out of the mountains, but before they even reached the bottom, after a few joyful shouts, the people below started throwing stones at them. And then, in a fit of anger, they stole their belongings…
Chuanwen, slurping a piece of pork rib, had gained a comprehensive understanding of the savage incident in Xiaoliang Kingdom. He looked up at Ergou, ["Won't Ergou abuse those savages too badly after he went? His elder brother, eight sisters-in-law, and five, six, seven, or eight nephews and nieces are there!"]
