Chuanwu escorted Chuanwen back to his room, closed the door tightly, and gave Zheng Yan several wary glances before leaving.
Chuanwu didn't go back to his own place, but went to find his parents. The three of them sat down at a table in the room.
"What?! What did you say?!"
Chuan Rui screamed, but Xu Yan pulled her arm to quiet her down. However, her eyes were still wide open as she looked at Chuan Wu.
Chuanwu trembled as his father glared at him. "Dad, it was Zheng Yan who had designs on my little sister. Why are you glaring at me? It's creepy!"
"That's right, that's right, calm down, calm down," Xu Yan comforted Chuan Rui, then turned to her son and asked, "Are you sure that kid has feelings for our Wenwen?"
Chuanwu nodded emphatically, recalling the way Zheng Yan looked at his younger sister, and realized that it was hardly innocent!
"As soon as he heard that his younger sister... cough cough... thought he had a good physique, he was so happy that his eyes were practically spitting fire!"
Chuanwu was too embarrassed to say his younger sister's inappropriate remarks, and he was still resentful towards Zheng Yan.
Chuanrui slammed his fist on the table and stood up abruptly. "This is outrageous! I have to go talk to the emperor. Can't he at least send a woman to protect my Wenwen?"
Xu Yan didn't pull him back this time. Chuanwu rolled his eyes. "Dad, you're not Second Uncle. How could you possibly see the Emperor? Besides, even if you did, could you command him? And even if the Emperor listened to you, what woman has such high martial arts skills to protect Little Sister?"
Chuan Rui was filled with hatred, pounding the table and lamenting the decline of talent in the Great Jin Dynasty!
"I heard the emperor is going to establish a girls' school and even allow women to enter the court?"
Speaking of women, Xu Yan suddenly thought of the recent hot topic. She was busy at her shop and didn't watch today's match.
Chuanwu was busy writing his book and didn't go to see it, but he listened to his classmate's vivid account and nodded hesitantly, "It seems that the two ladies won the first two matches, and there was no third match at all."
"Mother, you don't mean to let my little sister go to school and become an examiner, do you?"
Chuanwu asked in surprise, but Xu Yan quickly shook her head. She knew what her daughter was like; even if she went to school, she wouldn't be destined to become an official!
"I heard that many academies have students wearing the same uniform."
Xu Yan rubbed her hands excitedly; it was another chance to make a fortune!
Chuan Rui quietly interjected from the side, "Have we... gone off-topic?"
Yes, yes, we were just talking about Zheng Yan!
Xu Yan and Chuanwu quickly snapped out of their thoughts, but Xu Yan smiled and said, "I think that guy is pretty good. He's good-looking, from a good family, and seems to have a good personality. His eyes are practically melting when he looks at our daughter."
"You figured it out a long time ago?!"
Chuan Rui was incredulous. Xu Yan rolled her eyes at him. What's the big deal?
"I could tell when Wenwen first came back. Who's going to act like you two roughnecks!"
Xu Yan was quite optimistic about Zheng Yan, but said, "There's no point in us discussing this here. The key is whether Wenwen likes him or not."
He glanced at Chuanrui and Chuanwu, who thought for a moment and then shook their heads in bewilderment.
If you're already lusting after her body, you must like her, right?
However, their daughter/sister is still young, and her mind is only filled with food; she doesn't understand love at all!
However, Wenwen has lived two lives. In this life, she is only fourteen. In her previous life, she might have been married and had children. She should have understood matters between men and women. So, does she like Zheng Yan or not?
Xu Yan glanced at the puzzled expressions on the two rough-looking men and couldn't help but sigh.
She thought her daughter was a clever little devil, and there was nothing she didn't understand! However, although her daughter sometimes spoke without thinking, if Zheng Yan were to stand naked in front of her, she would definitely be scared away. So, what kind of feelings her daughter had for Zheng Yan remained to be seen.
After sending her son, who had come to report the commotion, back to sleep, Xu Yan began to think about how to make a fortune from running the girls' school.
The next day, after being cooped up in the palace for so many days, Chuanwen went on a shopping spree, wearing out the soles of Chuanyu and her girlfriends' shoes until they were worn thin and he was completely exhausted. Then he lay on the kang (heated brick bed) in the Changxing Marquis's residence and exclaimed, "What a thoroughly enjoyable shopping spree!"
The third day was all about food vlogging! It featured everything Chuanwen liked that I bought yesterday: braised pork hock from Lihua Lane on East Street, various pastries from Tianxinlou, and fried snacks, braised pig's trotters, and candies from West Street...
The audience consisted of Chuanyu and her group of girlfriends, plus Marquis Changxing and his wife.
The elderly couple, Marquis Changxing and his wife, also found the food very appetizing, cracking melon seeds and eating snacks.
No wonder Yu'er and the others love watching Wenwen eat; it really is so comforting.
Just as I was enjoying watching the mukbang video, Zhang Yuan came to report that Wang Shi had hitched up a carriage and gone to the Prince's Mansion, and wouldn't be home for lunch.
The old lady of the Marquis of Changxing sighed and began to chat with the Marquis of Changxing, "Tell me, that third son of the Wang family has a family, so why did he run away from home? Sigh~"
"Who says otherwise? Fine, let them go. They even left a letter, full of utter nonsense. Wang Sanlang's wife has jumped into the well three times already. Alas, how pitiful!"
The elderly couple chatted quietly, one after the other. Chuanwen, who was closest to them, twitched his ears and caught the words "Wang Jia Sanlang".
Since we were bored anyway, we started looking into what this person did for a living.
This digging revealed a whole lot of juicy gossip!
[Wang Jia Sanlang eloped with someone!]
Marquis Changxing spat out a mouthful of tea, startling everyone. The old lady of Marquis Changxing quickly patted his back, her worried expression concealing her shock!
No wonder he abandoned his wife and children; that's incredibly immoral!
While thinking about Wang Sanlang's lack of virtue, the old lady of Changxing Marquis also complained to Changxing Marquis, "Look how careless you are, you can even choke on your tea."
