When Feng Ergang first arrived in Beijing, many people didn't recognize him, so it's not surprising that his suitors mistook Chuanwu for Chuanyu.
Upon learning the truth, Chuanwu exclaimed: "Huh? ???"
Although the misunderstanding was cleared up, he really did get a beating, and Chuanwu was still a little angry when he looked at Xu Wuyou.
"Brother, could you please make sure you understand before you let us do it next time?"
Chuan Yi struggled to his feet; he had almost broken his arm just now, and he was rubbing his arm and complaining to Chuan Wu.
Chuanwu rolled his eyes. "You're one to talk! I told you to find some decent fighters, and this is the kind of people you've found for me?"
Chuanwu's gaze fell on the old man who was holding his teeth and crying. Chuanyi was a little embarrassed and said that he would find a few people who could fight, but Brother Wu did not say that he wanted to fight his brother-in-law!
They thought that just standing there, their imposing presence would scare the other party to the ground, but who knew that the other party was Xu Wuyou!
With someone like Xu Wuyou, no matter how many capable fighters they bring, it's all for naught!
However, Chuan Yi walked over and patted Xu Wuyou on the shoulder, laughing, "Luckily you didn't do anything wrong to my sister, otherwise I would have beaten you to a pulp!"
He was a little confused when he first saw Xu Wuyou, but he was definitely closer to Brother Wu than Xu Wuyou, so he still yelled and rushed over. Then he heard Brother Wu say that this guy was already engaged to his sister but still had his eye on someone else, which made him so angry that he wanted to punch the guy against the wall so hard that he couldn't be pried off.
But now that I know it was all a misunderstanding, I warned him and then chuckled with a hint of flattery. My brother-in-law is amazing! He took on more than a dozen of them by himself and was completely unharmed!
Not only were they unharmed, they beat them to a pulp—no, they made them cry for their teeth!
Xu Wuyou was somewhat speechless at Chuan Yi's warning, and he even beat him to the ground. He didn't even know who had been beaten to the ground just now.
To make amends, Xu Wuyou chartered a boat for his group, allowing them to eat and drink to their hearts' content. During the meal, he wondered why they were involving the elderly in such a brawl, and whether they weren't worried about what might happen to them.
The old man chuckled, chewing on a piece of fish with his few remaining teeth, and said, "So what if I'm an old man? I'm still useful. If the soldiers come, I'll just lie on the ground and say you beat an old man, and they were just doing their duty! Hehe!"
Xu Wuyou chuckled. This is really something; they've even thought of how to end this!
Xu Wuyou's gaze fell on the group of scholars again. It seemed that it was not appropriate for scholars who were powerless to fight to participate in a group brawl.
The scholars smiled sheepishly. They were writers recruited by Chuanyi Publishing House. They were all down-on-their-luck, struggling to make ends meet, but after joining Chuanyi, they found high salaries, good benefits, and excellent treatment. Now that their boss needed their help, how could they not lend a hand!
However, cough cough, it seems they really can't do this kind of thing! If the boss ever does something like this again, they won't do it themselves; they'll pool their money to hire some professional thugs for the boss instead.
Xu Wuyou was speechless for a moment, but seeing Chuanwu and Chuanyi chatting happily with these people, he couldn't help but smile. Although these two brothers, who were born out of wedlock, were a bit unreliable, they were kind-hearted. They didn't curry favor with the powerful or look down on the poor and lowly, and were people worth befriending.
Meanwhile, inside the Changxing Marquis's residence, Chuanwen sat to one side, cracking melon seeds, his round eyes wide with interest as he looked at the old lady of the Changxing Marquis and her mother, Xu Yan.
They were having snacks in the corridor when a maid came over and said that the old lady wanted to send a message and asked them to go to the old lady's courtyard to keep her company and have a chat.
So the three of them brought over a few unopened boxes of pastries, as a token of their respect for the old lady.
After arriving, Chuanwen barely got a word in edgewise, while the old lady and Xu Yan chatted animatedly, discussing everything from the Minister of Revenue's fight with his wife to how many piglets had been born to Grandma Liu's sow in the north of the city. They were thoroughly enjoying themselves.
However, Chuanwen thought she hadn't said much, but while she hadn't said much, her mind was racing!
The old lady and Xu Yan seemed to be having a good chat, but in reality, they were just enjoying watching the drama unfold.
Unexpectedly, Marquis Changxing, who hadn't said much since entering, spoke up, "Today, the Xu family came to say they wanted to bring forward Xu Wuyou and Yu'er's marriage, saying that it would allow the two children to focus on their careers after marriage. I don't think it's that simple."
Marquis Changxing frowned, and the old lady and Xu Yan stopped gossiping about the outside world and began to ponder why the Xu family had suddenly pulled such a stunt.
Chuanwen smacked his lips, savoring the sour plum in his mouth. "Isn't it because too many people are pursuing Sister Yu? Xu Wuyou is feeling threatened!"
Marquis Changxing was stunned for a moment. Uh... after guessing and guessing, he never expected that it was because his own granddaughter was too outstanding!
Sigh, it's all because of Wen Yatou's complaints about Su Heng's incompetence that I had preconceived notions.
Marquis Changxing sighed and then caught a glimpse of Chuanwen's slightly sour expression.
[Sigh, I'm suffering a crushing defeat, but Sister Yu's wedding date is being moved up! God, this is so unfair! Maybe I should play the villainous supporting character and seduce that bastard Xu Wuyou!]
puff--!
All three of them simultaneously spit out their tea!
Xu Wuyou, far away on the lake, suddenly shivered. He looked up at the blazing sun in the sky and suddenly felt a chill run down his spine! Could it be that he had encountered a ghost?
Xu Wuyou shook his head. "Confucius did not speak of strange phenomena, physical prowess, disorder, or spirits." He did not believe in ghosts.
Uh... remembering that there's such a strange person as Chuanwen in this world, well... never mind, I'll just believe it for now. But even if there are ghosts, what would a general like him be afraid of? He'd just swing his sword and kill them!
In the old lady's courtyard of the Marquis of Changxing's residence, Chuanwen looked at the three people who were spitting out tea with a strange expression, "What's wrong with you?"
[They even spit out tea together, are they hiding some secret code from me?]
The message was incredibly strange and puzzling.
"The tea is too hot."
The three stammered as they answered, trying their best to hide the shock in their eyes. Good heavens! What had they just heard?!
Chuanwen was skeptical, but with something on her mind, she didn't dwell on it too much. She guessed it was just a coincidence.
[Sigh, but Xu Wuyou is my brother-in-law, after all. Trying to seduce him feels like trying to seduce a dog—I just can't bring myself to do it!]
Chuanwen sighed and took a sip of tea. "This isn't hot at all?"
"Oh, by the way, I have a jar of fine wine that I've been treasuring for many years. When you go back, take some with you to the second son."
Marquis Changxing changed the subject and spoke to Xu Yan, who readily agreed.
"Also, I've noticed that the second son has lost weight recently. I have a few folk remedies for strengthening the body here, I'll give them to you later."
The old lady also said that Xu Yan probably understood what the two elders meant, and quickly responded.
Has my dad lost weight? He looks like he's gained a lot!
Chuan Wen looked puzzled.
Xu Yan and the other two secretly breathed a sigh of relief, no longer worrying about the tea.
However, they need to treat Er Gou quickly, otherwise they are really afraid that their family's Chuanwen will suppress his disgust and harm Xu Wuyou!
