Hua Qingcheng and her group's carriage set out from Yunlai Inn. After leaving the territory of Wanzhan Province, they officially entered the territory of Chaoyang Province.
"Sister, why are we following them? Moreover, this road seems to lead to Chaoyang Province. Aren't we going to Fufeng County, Wuyang Prefecture, Qiandeng Province to find cousin Lingfeng?" The Meng siblings who followed Hua Qingcheng and her group, Meng Haoling in the carriage looked at Meng Yuzhen in confusion.
"Haoling, didn't you say that you fell in love with Hua Qingcheng at first sight and wanted to marry her? Since she hugged you and saw your body, it is natural that she has to be responsible for you!" Meng Yuzhen pinched her eyebrows in annoyance. For the sake of this silly brother, she had to sacrifice her face.
"Sister, that... no, I..."
Meng Haoling suddenly felt depressed and lowered his head in frustration.
On the day of Old Master Meng's funeral, Meng Yuzhen, after entertaining the mourners at the Meng residence, caught up with the funeral procession a step too late. Therefore, Meng Yuzhen only saw the back of a woman in red riding away from him, but never saw her face. However, Meng Haoling knew in his heart that this flower was not the same flower!
The woman in red he had met in the suburbs of Beijing wasn't the current Hua Qingcheng at all, but her third husband, who was dressed as a woman. But how could he explain such a misunderstanding?
"Sister, actually... I lied to you. I didn't like... like that Hua Qingcheng. I just wanted to repay her. After all, she saved my grandfather's life. The situation was too dangerous at the time, and I was afraid that you would not be willing to help, so I had to lie. I'm sorry..."
"Meng Haoling, who do you think I am? Since Hua Qingcheng saved my grandfather, how could I stand by and watch her in danger? But, are these really what you say from the bottom of your heart?"
Meng Yuzhen looked at Meng Haoling with a burning gaze. Her silly brother was innocent and kind-hearted, but he was not good at lying. Under her gaze, Meng Haoling's cheeks flushed slightly, his eyes dodged left and right, and he didn't dare to look her in the eye.
"Haoling, a girl should get married when she's old enough, and a boy should get married when he's old enough. You're my only brother, so naturally I don't want you to get married too early. However, you're fifteen this year, and you're already at the age to get married. Instead of getting married blindly, it's better to find someone you like. If you really like Hua Qingcheng, I'll help you get her."
Meng Yuzhen looked at Meng Haoling with a hint of heartache. Given their family background, her silly brother would likely be the subject of an arranged marriage. She couldn't bear to see her clever and adorable brother trapped like a canary in a cage, locked away in the backyard of a wealthy family's mansion for the rest of his life. Since he had to marry anyway, why not let him pick someone he liked?
"Sister, I..."
After the carriage had been traveling along the official road in the suburbs of the city for more than an hour, the two carriages carrying Hua Qingcheng and Kang Fulai suddenly pulled over.
"Don't talk about me anymore. They've gone down to the teahouse to rest. Let's go have some tea and snacks too."
Meng Yuzhen immediately pulled the hesitant Meng Haoling out of the carriage. When they entered the teahouse, Hua Qingcheng and her three husbands were already sitting at a square table. Feng Wen brought a bowl of tea and two steamed buns to Kang Fulai in the carriage, then returned to the teahouse and sat at the table next to Hua Qingcheng and her friends with Feng Wu.
"Miss Qingcheng, I have something to talk to you about." Meng Yuzhen pulled Meng Haoling's hand and came to Hua Qingcheng.
"sister!"
Meng Haoling wanted to break free from his sister's restraints, but the other party was too strong, so he had no choice but to give up.
"Shut up and don't talk!"
Meng Yu really slapped her silly brother on the head, but she didn't dare to use too much force. After all, he wasn't smart to begin with, and if she slapped him and made him even more stupid, wouldn't that be terrible?
"Miss Meng, you can speak frankly if you want to. The three of them are my husbands, and there is nothing they can't listen to."
Hua Qingcheng looked at the Meng siblings who walked in front of her, slowly put down the teacup in her hand, and looked directly at Meng Yuzhen.
Although she already knew Hua Qingcheng had three husbands, Meng Yuzhen felt a little uncomfortable hearing her say this herself. She was sixteen years old, and Hua Qingcheng looked only about the same age, yet she already had three husbands. And yet her foolish brother fell in love with her at first sight and wanted to marry her.
"I'm afraid it's not very convenient..."
Meng Yuzhen glanced at Situ Ye, Han Yichen and Si Chengfeng meaningfully, then quickly looked away.
"Xiao Qingcheng, don't go~"
Han Yichen gently tugged at Hua Qingcheng's sleeve, his narrow, long phoenix eyes gazing at her with resentment. Although Han Yichen didn't think the Meng siblings were in any danger, he was afraid his young wife's heart would be seduced by that handsome young man, especially since Meng Haoling had just been struck by Gui Cangwu's Spirit Snake Palm for Hua Qingcheng.
"Achen, you wait for me here with Erlang and Chengfeng."
After letting go of Han Yichen's hand, Hua Qingcheng followed the Meng siblings into the woods. She also wanted to know why Meng Haoling, a complete stranger, risked his life to save her.
"Miss Meng, if you have anything to say, just say it!"
Hua Qingcheng glanced at Meng Yuzhen's younger brother, who was being held by her hand. He was dressed in a lavender robe and had a handsome face, but his eyes were hollow and he looked helpless. The chilly autumn wind blew past, ruffling a tuft of hair on his head, making him look like a naive little puppy with its head drooping after being wronged. Hua Qingcheng couldn't help but smile knowingly.
The woman in red, bathed in the sunlight, possessed a stunningly beautiful face, with heroic brows, a straight, charming nose, and a slightly curved lip. Her aura was cool and detached, yet not cold or heartless. Her long, black hair, tied high with a dark headband, paired with her red and black outfit, exuded a sharp and dashing air.
