“Young Master Wu…” Qingyin glanced at Wu Yong disapprovingly, and Wu Yong obediently fell silent.
Xie Ping looked at Wu Yong, who was forced to remain silent, but he felt no pleasure in having gained the upper hand. Looking at Wu Yong, who was clearly closer to Qingyin than he was, Xie Ping felt a prickling jealousy in his heart, like ants gnawing at him, making him wish he could kill that eyesore Wu Yong right now.
But the girl in front of him was still there; he had to endure it.
"I'm sorry, Young Master Chen. Young Master Wu didn't mean it. It's just that I often stay at home and don't know much about entertainment venues in the capital. If you're interested, you can ask Young Master Wu," Qingyin said apologetically to Xie Ping.
Wu Yong raised an eyebrow: "If Young Master Chen is curious, ask me. I guarantee I can satisfy you!"
Xie Ping met Wu Yong's smug gaze, his eyes turned cold, but he immediately regained his previous shy and gentle demeanor and smiled, "Then thank you, Young Master Wu."
Wu Yong: "Heh, you're welcome."
—
"Sister! Sister! The orange juice you ordered is back!" Lin Wanyu's joyful voice came from afar.
Qingyin looked up and saw Lin Wanyu running over, looking relaxed, and Lin Yanwei carrying a bunch of things behind her.
Her eyes softened slightly. "Why did you buy so much?"
Lin Yanwei glanced at his second sister, Lin Wanyu, who looked a little guilty beside him, and said, "Hmph, isn't it because this young lady Lin Wanyu wants to eat and drink everything and insists on buying it? Doesn't she even look at how fat she's gotten!"
"Lin Yanwei!" Lin Wanyu glared angrily at Lin Yanwei, wishing she could bite a piece of flesh off her annoying twin brother.
"Elder sister, look at Lin Yanwei!"
Qingyin glanced helplessly at the two bickering siblings who had started arguing again, "Alright, how old are you? Don't act like this in the street. Don't make people laugh at you."
Lin Wanyu glared at Lin Yanwei, "Hmph, brat, you should thank your sister properly, otherwise I would have twisted your ears into pig ears today."
Lin Yanwei rolled his eyes at her and stopped talking back to his stupid second sister.
Also, when did another man appear? Lin Yanwei looked at the tall, handsome young man next to the stall.
Lin Yanwei keenly noticed the unusual tenderness in the man's eyes when he looked at Qingyin.
His frustration intensified when another wild boar tried to steal his sister!
Lin Yanwei glared at the extra man with displeasure and sneered, "Sister, who is this...?"
Before Qingyin could explain, Xie Ping obediently gave his brother-in-law a fawning look and introduced himself, "Hello, young master, I'm here to buy fish. My name is Chen Ping..."
However, his attempts to please them were completely ineffective against the two sisters who were obsessed with their sister.
Lin Yanwei stood next to Qingyin, squeezing out of Wu Yong's place and blocking Xie Ping's view: "Hey fish seller, I don't care what you call me! Why aren't you leaving after you've bought your fish?"
At the same time, Lin Wanyu also stared at him with a fierce gaze.
Xie Ping: "..."
It seems that his brother-in-law and sister-in-law are the two major obstacles on his road to marriage.
Wu Yong, who had been forcefully pushed aside, was momentarily at a loss as to whether he should be happy for his brother-in-law's impressive display of power. Although his rival had been insulted, he wasn't much better off.
Wu Yong, who had been secretly glared at several times, was secretly cheering himself up.
But Lin Yanwei and Lin Wanyu didn't want their fairy sister to let the wild boars outside get close to her.
Their singing and dancing were authentic.
Lin Yanwei: "Sister, it's getting late. If we don't go back soon, Mother will worry. Let's go back."
Lin Wanyu: "Yes, sister, we've been walking for so long today, we're so tired. Let's go back to the manor to rest. Just now, the carriage that Lin Yanwei called earlier has arrived, let's go back."
Qingyin nodded and glanced apologetically at Wu Yong. "I'm sorry, Mr. Wu, my two younger siblings are also tired, so I'll head back first."
Wu Yong, who had originally wanted to have a meal with his sweetheart, concealed the bitterness and reluctance in his eyes and said with a smile, "Yes, Miss Qingqing, please get some rest."
After saying that, Qingyin nodded slightly and, with her two siblings waiting for her, returned to the carriage.
The atmosphere quickly turned tense as Wu Yong and Xie Ping remained in the room.
Things that I couldn't say before because my sweetheart was there, I can say now.
Wu Yong coldly looked at Xie Ping, who was carrying the fish, and said, "I don't know where this young master Chen is from, nor do I know how capable he is, nor am I afraid that his ambition will bring trouble to his family."
Xie Ping's expression turned cold, no longer resembling the obedient and shy puppy he was in front of Qing Yin.
His demeanor was cold and dangerous. He stood motionless, coldly looking at Wu Yong: "I'd also like to say this to Young Master Wu: what doesn't belong to you, no matter how ambitious you are, will likely end up being a wasted effort."
"Heh, you're not as disgusting as before!" Wu Yong's handsome face was full of gloom.
"However, it was both before and now, and it is extremely disgusting."
Xie Ping glanced at him disdainfully, no longer wanting to deal with this rival in love, and calmly left.
The servant beside Wu Yong watched the impressive figure leave and whispered to his young master, "Young master, should we investigate that person?"
Wu Yong frowned. When did such a person emerge in the capital? The key was that this aura felt strangely familiar. Wu Yong's heart sank. "Investigate. Be careful."
"Yes, young master."
...
Late at night, in the palace.
The young man, who had the same build as Xie Ping, immediately regained his composure after seeing the young man who had climbed into the house.
"master!"
The young man removed the human skin mask from his face and bowed respectfully, saying:
Xie Ping nodded, calmly and with a hint of pride, handing the live fish he had painstakingly brought into the palace to An Yi: "An Yi, take good care of these three fish."
"Be careful, this is a gift from your future princess."
Although he bought the fish, it was actually caught by Qingqing, so in other words, it was a gift from Qingqing to him.
An Yi, who was usually expressionless and aloof, almost couldn't hold back his expression for a moment: "..."
If he wasn't mistaken, this was probably the most common type of fish eaten in Dongwei Kingdom, and given how big the fish was, it probably wouldn't live much longer.
However, An Yi understood after hearing his master's words. Although he didn't know why his master's sweetheart, whom he had fallen in love with at first sight, had sent him several plump grass carp, he would do whatever his master ordered.
"Yes, Master."
Xie Ping nodded in satisfaction as he watched An Yi walk out.
"I hope to see my Qingqing again tomorrow," Xie Ping muttered to himself, making a wish.
But the opportunity came much faster than Xie Ping had hoped.
