Lu Jin and Yue Lingfeng both had no appetite for the meal.
Lu Jin was already full and basically didn't move, while Yue Lingfeng couldn't eat at all.
How could he not understand what the young man meant?
The purpose was to hit him directly in the face.
Only when Wen Yu and Liu Chun eat, everything they enjoy is delicious.
When paying the bill, Yue Lingfeng took out the silver on his own initiative and spent thirty taels on the meal.
Wen Yu was a little surprised. She joked, "You don't even want to hire a doctor for treatment, but you actually spend thirty taels on food?"
Yue Lingfeng smiled faintly: "How can I let Miss spend money when I dine with her?"
Hearing this, Lu Jin glanced at Yue Lingfeng.
What the hell? You don’t even have money to see a doctor when you’re sick?
In fact, after the meal, Lu Jin didn't notice anything going on between the two of them. They were both affectionate and polite, and there was nothing particularly out of the ordinary, except that they were holding hands when they first entered Yuhan Tower.
Is he overthinking it? Is the princess just a friend of this guy?
But how could the princess say that she and her brother only had pure friendship? She had already received the ancestral jade pendant, so how could she not understand her brother's feelings?
The four of them left the restaurant, and Lu Jin followed closely behind Wen Yu.
For some reason, even though she knew that Lu Jin and Lu Ren were not real brothers, Wen Yu still saw a hint of Lu Ren in him.
She smiled and rubbed Lu Jin's head: "What were you thinking about just now? You are not very old, but you think a lot."
Then he looked at Yue Lingfeng and said calmly: "You go back first, I will send this brother home and then come to find you."
Yue Lingfeng paused slightly, then nodded and left first, but his back carried a hint of loneliness and desolation.
Liu Chun saw everything: ...
Amitabha, what a sin, what a sin.
Wen Yu and Lu Jin walked all the way to the Jinghuai River, only to find that they could go boating on the river, which aroused their interest.
She had never been on a manually rowed boat before, so she called the boatman and the three of them got on the boat together.
Lu Jin had a delicate and well-behaved appearance. He sat on the boat with his hands placed neatly on his knees, sitting upright and not saying a word, which made him look even more well-behaved.
Wen Yu leaned on the boat and looked at Lu Jin.
Her expression was no longer as friendly as before, but became very stern, and her tone was also extremely cold, with a terrifying majesty.
"You're full, but you still want to follow me upstairs. Why? Are you keeping an eye on your brother?"
Hearing the word "stalking" and Wen Yu's extremely cold tone, Lu Jin was startled. He fell to his knees with a plop before he could react, and trembled on the ground: "Princess, please forgive me."
He was extremely frightened, for it turned out that the princess did not forbear his offense, but wanted to settle the score with him later.
Maybe he didn't want to reveal his true identity in front of that man. He didn't know that his mind was already in a mess and he didn't dare to think about it anymore.
"Forgive me? Tell me, what crime have you committed?" Wen Yu glared at him.
"..." Lu Jin pursed his lips, "I shouldn't have followed you upstairs."
Wen Yu smiled and said, "Don't you admit that you are following me?"
"Lu Jin doesn't dare."
Wen Yu sat up a little straighter: "Get up, you look so scared, am I that scary?"
Lu Jin: …
"Thank you, Princess." Lu Jin supported himself and slowly sat back in his original seat.
The boat fell silent for a moment.
After a while, Wen Yu held her chin and returned to her smiling face. She said with a smile: "I saw you were in a daze for a long time today, but is there anything you want to say?"
Lu Jin was scared to death by Wen Yu's sudden attack. After a moment of silence, he still mustered up the courage to ask for clarification.
"Lu Jin, may I ask, Princess, are you and your brother in love with each other?"
Wen Yu supported her chin with one hand and raised her eyebrows. She did not answer his question, but said, "Today, I heard from my brother that Lu Ren did not want any reward after returning victoriously, but only asked for an imperial decree to grant marriage. Who do you think he was asking for?"
Lu Jin was confused, he had no idea that Lu Ren had requested for a marriage. He just felt that Lu Ren was in love with the princess.
"The sweetheart that my brother is asking His Majesty to grant him marriage to must be you, the eldest princess," said Lu Jin.
Wen Yu smiled and said, "I think so too. I even told my brother that Lu Ren's sweetheart is me, but my brother said in no uncertain terms that the person he is marrying is not me."
Lu Jin: …
"Since my royal brother said so, it must be that it's really not me. Maybe Lu Ren has his own sweetheart. In this case, do you think it is considered a mutual affection?"
Lu Jin was silent.
He really didn't know about the arranged marriage. Could it be that his brother really had a lover, and that person was not the eldest princess?
Liu Chun on the side: Amitabha, Princess, don’t you feel pain when you say such words?
Lu Jin said: "Is the man who just held your hand your new love?"
Wen Yu groaned for a moment: "New love? Not really new."
Lu Jin didn’t quite understand. Was it yes or no?
"Little kid, is this something you should be thinking about?" Wen Yu said, looking towards the shore, "We've reached the shore, go back."
Lu Jin moved his mouth, but still suppressed his doubts. Finally, he returned to the general's mansion with a lot on his mind.
However, he had just walked into the hall when a servant came to tell him that the general had returned.
Lu Jin thought he had misheard. He was surprised and said, "Brother is back? Isn't it still two days before he arrives?"
As he said that, he quickly ran towards Lu Ren's yard, and just happened to run into Lu Ren who had taken off his armor, changed into a black robe, and was preparing to go out.
"Brother! Are you really back? Didn't you say the army would arrive in two days?"
When Lu Ren saw him, he frowned slightly and said, "You are not in the mansion, why did you run out again?"
Lu Jin touched his nose when he heard this: "Brother, you haven't answered me yet, why did you come back so soon?"
"The army is only a hundred miles away from Shengjing City. I will come back on horseback and then return to the capital with the army." Lu Ren said.
Lu Jin was silent for a moment: "Brother, are you back to see the princess?"
Just like on the day of the New Year's banquet, he went back home specifically to change his clothes and went to the princess's mansion.
Lu Ren hummed softly.
"Brother..." Lu Jin hesitated, "There is something I want to say..."
"I... just... have something..."
Seeing him hesitating, Lu Ren said, "Think carefully before you speak. Don't hesitate. Think about it first. It won't be too late to speak after I return to the capital with the army."
Lu Ren said as he quickly left.
"Brother! Brother!" Lu Jin shouted twice and gradually lost his temper.
Seeing Lu Ren anxious to see the eldest princess, he was a little confused. It was obvious that his sweetheart was the eldest princess, but why was the person he was arranged to marry not the eldest princess?
