As it turned out, Jiang Segu underestimated his brother's ability to cope.
When Jiang Wenlin saw a beautiful woman in a green dress standing in front of him, shouting that she wanted to marry him, he secretly pinched his thigh.
His parents have just passed away, and he's having such a dream—it's really inappropriate!
However, the pain coming from the outside of his thigh made him gasp.
He was somewhat incredulous and pinched himself again, gritting his teeth.
Liao Luzhen pouted and leaned back slightly. "Wen Dong, is this guy an idiot?"
"In response to General Liao, Young Master Jiang is not stupid!"
"Has he suffered any brain damage these past two days?"
"No!"
"Then why is he pinching himself?"
Wen Dong shook his head, indicating that he didn't know. "Perhaps it's because of the loss of his parents that he suffered a shock, which is why he's behaving abnormally?"
Liao Luzhen straightened up, propped her right hand on her left elbow, tapped her chin with her left index finger, and then circled around Jiang Wenlin.
Jiang Wenlin twisted his thigh even harder, causing his face to turn red with pain.
"You look like a frail scholar, but you're quite good at enduring pain! But why are you pinching yourself like that!"
Faced with the beautiful face suddenly looming large in front of him, Jiang Wenlin retreated repeatedly until he bumped into a chair and plopped down on it, only then did he regain his composure.
"Young lady, we are complete strangers, why do you want to marry me?"
"There are countless people in this world who want to become husband and wife without ever having met, so why can't it be the same for you and me?"
"I...I...but my parents just passed away, I can't be engaged right now!"
"What's the big deal! Let's get engaged first, and we can talk about other things in three years!"
In this way, Gu Songhan will not send someone back to the Northwest because I helped his beloved solve her problem!
Once she's weathered the storm and the Jiang siblings have overcome their difficulties, they can break off the engagement!
But Jiang Wenlin didn't interpret those words the same way.
A girl actually waited for him for three years; such affection... truly moved him!
Jiang Wenlin was overwhelmed with mixed feelings when Jiang Segu arrived, panting heavily!
"Girl, girl, you run so fast!"
"Sixth Miss Jiang, your physique isn't very good! You're already panting like this after running only a short distance? If this were in the military camp, Gu Songhan would have given you a severe scolding by now!"
Jiang Segu resisted the urge to roll his eyes, steadied his breathing, and then said to Liao Luzhen, "I wonder why you insist on marrying my brother?"
"Isn't it a good thing for you two if I'm now arranging a marriage between you and your brother?"
Jiang Wenlin looked at Jiang Segu with confusion, not understanding the meaning behind her words.
Jiang Segu reacted in an instant, but...
"But that's not fair to the girl!"
“It’s fair, it’s perfectly fair! I’ll help you protect your mother’s dowry, and you’ll help me fend off Gu Songhan, telling him not to send me back to the Northwest and not to tell my father I’m in the capital. This is a good thing for both of us, how can it be unfair?”
So this girl wasn't sent by Gu Songhan!
"But this damages the girl's reputation..."
"What's with all this talk of loss? We women of the Northwest never care about such things! Alright, it's settled then! Where should I stay? Wait, no, I'm a little hungry after my hangover. What good food do you have at your residence?"
I'm not a picky eater, I'm easy to feed! But I just need to drink a little wine every day..."
Liao Luzhen rarely showed such girlish shyness, "I didn't drink much..."
Wen Dong rolled his eyes as he listened from behind. How could General Liao say such a thing!
He still remembers the scene when General Liao was ten years old, single-handedly defeating three soldiers with excellent drinking capacity and drinking them under the table.
What's most infuriating is that he was completely unharmed, even complaining that the wine was tasteless, and then he went to steal General Weiyuan's strong liquor!
Jiang Segu settled the people in his own courtyard, then ordered someone to buy wine and food for Liao Luzhen, and finally returned to Huayangxuan.
She needed to find out Liao Luzhen's specific background.
When Wen Dong saw that Jiang Segu had returned, she had sold Liao Luzhen out of everything without Wen Dong having to say a word.
He first explained the life-saving grace that Liao Luzhen mentioned.
"So, General Gu saved General Liao's life?"
Wen Dong nodded.
Therefore, General Liao's visit this time must have been at the request of Gu Songhan.
only……
"Why would General Liao, a general of such stature, suddenly come to the capital?"
Wen Dong inevitably had to explain the title "General Liao" again.
"General Liao is not actually a general, but she likes to be called general, so over time, everyone started calling her General Liao!"
Is it still possible to do this?
"Of course, not everyone who likes the title of general can receive this treatment. Everyone is only doing this because of General Weiyuan's reputation..."
General Weiyuan?
"You mean General Liao is the daughter of General Weiyuan?"
Wen Dong nodded, "Yes, otherwise who in the Northwest would have such an honor! This time she came to the capital, and according to my guess, it must be because General Liao committed an unforgivable crime and is afraid of being punished by General Weiyuan, so she ran to the capital to seek refuge!"
Jiang Segu remained stunned for a long time, unable to recover from the shock that Liao Luzhen was the daughter of General Weiyuan.
She only came to her senses after Wen Dong called her name twice.
"You continue to guard my brother. Apart from General Liao, no other women are allowed to enter!"
"yes!"
As Jiang Segu returned to Lanyue Courtyard, he secretly praised Gu Songhan for his excellent judgment in choosing people!
Madam Jiang, however, did not think so.
After Liao Luzhen and Jiang Segu ran out of Bishuitang one after the other, Madam Jiang stood up with the help of Madam Jing.
She trembled with rage, pointing at the doorway where she had vanished without a trace, and shouted, "Whose shameless little slut is this? How can our Marquis's mansion tolerate such a shameless person! Mama Jing, gather all the guards and servants in the mansion for me. I refuse to believe she can fight against so many people with her bare hands!"
Just as Madam Jing had gathered everyone, Madam Jiang led her entourage to Huayang Pavilion.
Liao Luzhen was nowhere to be seen at Huayangxuan. Wen Dong, holding his sword, looked at the approaching Madam Jiang with great agitation.
His sword has rested for over a month; is it finally ready to be drawn again?
"Get out of the way!"
Despite his initial excitement, Wen Dong did not lose his composure. He thought to himself: Jiang Liu's parents have just passed away. It would be inappropriate for him to draw his sword and injure people in the Jiang family right now!
And so...
"Men are allowed in, but women are not!"
Madam Jiang was so angry she almost fainted.
"How dare you! You, a mere servant, stop the Madam!"
"Sixth Miss said that no woman other than General Liao can be allowed to enter Huayang Pavilion!"
Madam Jiang felt a chill run down her spine.
What?
General Liao?
Which General Liao?
Could it be that little slut?
