What kind of wild girl is this, daring to make a move on Wenlin!
As she walked, Madam Jiang took the waistband and handed it to Madam Jing, asking, "Where is he? Where is he now?"
"They have already been invited to Biyuetang."
As the two hurried toward Biyuetang, Liao Luzhen impatiently asked the maid who brought tea, "Where is your sixth young lady? Why hasn't she come out to see her sister-in-law yet!"
She was genuinely curious about what kind of girl could make Gu Songhan think about her for so long.
The maid who brought the tea was so startled by her outrageous words that her wrist trembled and she almost couldn't hold the tea tray.
Liao Luzhen, however, showed no intention of intimidating anyone. She said fiercely, "I'm asking you a question! What are you staring at me for? Do you want to compare whose eyes are bigger?"
"This servant wouldn't dare! This servant will go down and ask when Sixth Miss will arrive!"
After placing the tea down, the maidservant fled as if she were escaping.
Liao Luzhen rubbed her still slightly dizzy forehead and drank the tea in one gulp.
But the next second, she spat out all the tea!
"It's scalding hot! Are you trying to intimidate me with this scalding water or what?!"
While complaining, Liao Luzhen wiped the tea residue from her mouth with her sleeve.
Jiangse Valley arrived at that moment.
Seeing Liao Luzhen's rough movements, Jiang Segu, full of questions, stepped forward and introduced himself: "I am the person you are looking for, young lady. May I ask what business you have with me?"
Liao Luzhen stood up and looked Jiang Segu up and down.
Dressed in white, she was beautiful, with eyebrows like ink paintings and skin like solidified cream. Even with a bare face, she possessed an air of elegance. Especially her bright, glassy eyes, which, when they looked at someone, truly stirred one's heart.
"No wonder Gu Songhan has been thinking about you for so many years, yet he doesn't even look at me!"
As Liao Luzhen was sizing up Jiang Segu, Jiang Segu was also sizing her up.
The girl, dressed in light green, exudes the vibrant energy of spring. Coupled with the confidence and liveliness emanating from her, it's easy to overlook her beautiful face.
Such a free-spirited and unrestrained woman is a rare sight in the prison-like capital.
Upon hearing Liao Luzhen mention Gu Songhan, Jiang Segu withdrew his scrutinizing gaze and asked, "Does the young lady know General Gu?"
"We're more than just acquaintances; we've been through thick and thin together! If it weren't for me, he would have died at the hands of the Oirat people long ago!"
Jiang Segu's heart trembled slightly, but he didn't show it on his face and continued to ask, "I heard that you have taken a liking to my brother. May I ask when you met my brother?"
"To be honest, I've never met your brother! But judging from your appearance, he can't be too bad off!"
Jiang Segu's lips twitched slightly as he patiently said, "Since you've never met my brother, how can you have taken a liking to him, and why do you want to marry him?"
Liao Luzhen tilted her head, as if she didn't understand why Jiang Segu would ask such a simple question.
This left Jiang Segu completely bewildered.
Just as she was about to say something more, Madam Jiang arrived.
"Azi, you're here too!"
"Auntie!"
Madam Jiang glanced sideways at Liao Luzhen and said sarcastically, "No need for such formalities. I just came to see which girl is so shameless!"
"What nonsense are you spouting, old woman! Love between men and women is a natural human emotion, how come it's become shameless in your mouth!"
Madam Jiang was so angry she choked. How could she, at such a young age, have become an old woman!
"Guards! Throw this shameless man out of the Marquis's residence!"
Jing's mother must have said so; she summoned two old women to chase Liao Luzhen out.
Liao Luzhen frowned and shook her head as she looked at the old woman who walked in.
Madam Jiang initially thought Liao Luzhen was shaking her head, unwilling to leave, but Liao Luzhen said instead, "You two old women probably don't know any fighting skills! You can only rely on brute force to suppress some weaklings. If you were to face me, you'd be at a disadvantage!"
Madam Jiang was so angry that her forehead throbbed, and she gave Jing's mother a meaningful look.
Madam Jing snapped, "What are you all standing there for? Invite this young lady out!"
Jiang Segu was about to speak up for Liao Luzhen out of consideration for Gu Songhan, but in the blink of an eye, Liao Luzhen swept her leg and tripped the two old women to the ground.
"You! You... Aunt Zhou, call the guards from the front yard!"
"I advise you to save your energy. Those few guards in your manor who are only good at basic martial arts, I could take them all down in the time it takes for an incense stick to burn!"
Madam Jiang was so angry that she took two steps back. If it weren't for Mama Jing supporting her, she would have collapsed to the ground.
"Whose daughter are you, to be so ill-mannered!"
Jiang Segu felt a gust of wind blow by, and Liao Luzhen grabbed Madam Jiang's neck with one hand.
"You'd better swallow those words, or I won't hesitate to send you to meet the King of Hell ahead of time!"
"Help! Help! Someone's trying to kill the First Madam!"
"Shut up!"
Liao Luzhen, growing impatient, used her free hand to knock Jing's mother unconscious with a karate chop!
Jiang Segu was so impressed by their combat prowess that he forgot to blink!
Madam Jiang was filled with fear, feeling the air slowly dwindling in her chest. She apologized repeatedly, "I misspoke just now, please forgive me, young lady!"
Liao Luzhen released her grip in disgust. "This is the first time. If there's a next time, I'll twist your head off!"
Madam Jiang collapsed to the ground, her eyes fixed on Liao Luzhen as if she had seen a demon!
Where did this wild girl come from? So arrogant and unreasonable!
Liao Luzhen clapped her hands, looked at Jiang Segu with her chin raised, and asked, "Do you think I'm suitable to be your sister-in-law?"
How could we say that Jiangse Valley is unsuitable!
She's quite afraid of losing her life!
Whether it's suitable or not isn't up to me to decide; it's up to my brother...
"Then let your brother come! Stop being so wishy-washy. I just sent someone to call your brother, but they insisted that it was unreasonable, that men shouldn't be allowed to enter or leave the inner courtyard without being summoned by their elders!"
What kind of ridiculous rules are these!
Hurry up, I drank too much last night and I still feel dizzy and have a headache! If it weren't for seeing you, I..."
Liao Luzhen realized she had said something wrong, pinched the bridge of her nose and said, "Look, I'm so dizzy I've said the wrong thing! If it weren't to see your brother, would I have come here despite feeling so awful from a hangover?"
Madam Jiang nearly choked on her breath!
And he's still hungover from drinking!
Who is this person?!
What family raised this girl?!
Jiang Segu was stunned for a moment before she realized what was happening. By the time she did, Liao Luzhen had already rushed out!
"It will take another quarter of an hour for you to send a maid to fetch your brother. I'd rather go to the front yard to see him myself and give him a surprise!"
Is it definitely a surprise, or a shock?
Jiang Segu hurriedly followed her out. She was really afraid that the girl was too reckless and would frighten her brother so much that he would faint on the spot!
