C15 The Cause of the Matter

Hearing Lu Yan's words, Gu Qingwan shook her head, "I don't need to fuss over so much with a little girl."

Lu Yan looked at her in amusement. He was just a little girl, yet he used such a tone to say that a girl around his age was a little girl. Those who didn't know how old she was would think she was.

However, he smiled and said, "We are sensible for being late!"

What kind of tone was that? Gu Qinglang blinked as he watched. Why did it feel like his mood had changed? What was with this tone of praising one's own child?

Lu Yan just felt it was interesting to tease this little girl and then see her reaction. However, he wasn't going to be too ruthless, so he changed the topic and asked, "Are you going to dance tonight?" Although he wasn't the type to pursue new trends, he still knew basic etiquette, such as the common social dancing.

Of course, Gu Qing Wan knew how to act, but she didn't plan to participate today, so she shook her head and said, "I'm not going."

Lu Yan thought that she wouldn't, so he smiled and said, "It's fine. If you want to go, I can take you with me." This meant that he could teach her so that she wouldn't feel embarrassed.

Gu Qing Wan'er heard the meaning behind his words, but still shook her head. "I'm not going. If you want to go, don't worry about me. I'll just sit here for a while."

Lu Yan walked to her side and sat down. "Then I'll accompany you in the evening."

Gu Qingcheng was actually quite curious about him. She didn't know what kind of person he was to make everyone in the family look at him like that, so she tilted her head to look at him with a face full of curiosity.

Lu Yan smiled at her and asked, "What's wrong?" he asked gently.

"Are you always so gentle?" Gu Qishao couldn't help but ask. Was it because he didn't feel tired at all?

Lu Yan smiled and flicked her forehead, causing Gu Qing Wan to immediately cover her forehead and pout, looking at him to express her dissatisfaction.

Lu Yan laughed even harder, "Silly girl!"

Gu Qingwan turned her head away with a "hmph". If you don't want to say it, then don't say it. I don't like to hear it.

Seeing her so energetic, Lu Yan smiled even more sincerely. "When will you get married?" He couldn't wait any longer.

Gu Qingwan suddenly felt a bit embarrassed when she heard him say this. She saw that he didn't understand why he would suddenly change the topic, so she foolishly said, "I haven't grown up yet." Saying that, he wanted to smack his own face. What was that supposed to mean?

Lu Yan smiled, his stomach was shaking, and he nodded seriously, "Yeah, I'm still waiting for you to grow up!"

After playing around for a whole day, Lu Yan was the one who sent her back to the Gu family. Madam Song was very happy when she saw that Lu Yan had personally come to deliver her.

Gu Qinglang was already feeling helpless. "Mother, it's going to be late soon. He still has to hurry home."

Madam Song gave up after hearing his words. "Alright then," she said regretfully. Then he turned to Lu Yan and said, "Come over early next time, I'll make you guys something nice to eat."

Lu Yan nodded his head in a very good-natured manner with a gentle smile. He finally knew where the foolishness of his wife came from. So it was here!

"Mother, hurry up and go in. I'll go send him off." Gu Qingniang was afraid that her unruly mother would say something surprising, so she quickly tried to cover it up.

Before sending Lu Yan out the door, he didn't forget to whisper with a smile, "I'll come early and watch late next time."

Gu Qinglang glared at him unhappily. "It's getting late." Hurry up and go!

Lu Yan smiled as he left. On the way home, he thought about it and felt very happy. However, when would he be able to marry such an interesting wife? As soon as they parted, he started to miss her.

After returning to the Lu family's residence, Madame Jiang could tell how satisfied her son was when she saw his smile. She glanced at him with a smile and asked, "Did you send him back?"

Lu Yan smiled and nodded, then asked, "Have you seen your mother?"

Lady Jiang nodded. Upon thinking about how satisfied that girl was with her performance, Lu Yan could tell what was on her mind from his mother's expression. "It's good to be late!" he said.

"Madame Jiang glared at him in annoyance. She still didn't know what he was thinking?" "Don't worry, mom isn't that stupid. Mom will treat her well just because you want to get something from her." In the end, it was just to tease Lu Yan.

However, these words made Lu Yan a little helpless. His motives were impure, but it was also true that he wanted to marry her.

Madame Jiang patted him on the shoulder. "Alright, since you've decided to treat her well, you're a good girl." Then he thought of something and asked, "I heard you punished Manchee today?"

Hearing this, Lu Yan's face turned cold, "She should be taught a lesson. She's so old and yet she doesn't know what she's doing. She's just messing around."

Madame Jiang was rather speechless when she mentioned this, "You also know people like your Third Uncle and Third Aunt, but how could you be so rude when you're in front of people?" It wasn't because he was speaking up for her, but because his actions today were a bit abnormal.

Lu Yan frowned, "I'll check it out when I get back." He wouldn't be so hostile to someone he met for the first time for no reason at all, so he decided to take a look at what was going on.

On the other side, Lu Manqin was also surprised by Lu Manqin's reaction, "What happened to you today? It's not like that. "

Lu Manqin also had a face of regret, why was he so impulsive? He was caught red-handed by Second Brother, but still said stubbornly, "I can't bear to see those delusions fly up the branch and become a phoenix. Hmph, who is she, Gu Qingcheng?"

Lu Cangli's mouth twitched. If I were to say that she wanted to fly up the branch to become a phoenix, then what about your mother? However, she would not say it out loud. Every family member of the girl had their lives on the line, so she still tried to persuade him: "How is she her problem and it doesn't hinder you. If you have nothing to do, why did you offend her? Besides, what can you gain from offending her? After all, she will be our second sister-in-law in the future. " Therefore, she didn't quite understand how Lu Manqin's brain circuits were so long.

Lu Manqin naturally understood this, so he stomped his feet and said, "I just don't like her to be our second sister-in-law. If she is, then what about Sister Yao?"

The only daughter of the second branch of the Yuan Family. The Yuan Family did business for generations, and nothing was as rich as money, so Yuan Zhiyao was also a girl who pursued a new trend. What did she buy in Beiping was popular, there were countless clothes and accessories, and she only wore it once.

However, he had fallen in love with Lu Yan at first sight after meeting him at a gathering. From then on, he started to curry favor with Lu Kangqin in order to see him more often. Of course, he treated Lu Kangqin very well.

The price of new clothes, accessories and cosmetics were all quite high. However, San Fang had two parents who couldn't live, so her family's life wasn't as rich as it seemed. Of course, those that could be provided to Lu Cangqin wouldn't be able to support her pursuit.

However, everything would be fine once he met Yuan Yanyu. All these things had been given to him, and he was then on the same level as her. Therefore, everything would naturally be biased towards her, and this time, he was acting on the spur of the moment because of his good friend's injustice.

Hearing this reason, Lu Cangli was speechless. Are you an idiot? I wonder if you're using me to get on good terms with Yuan Zhiyao? Their family had a lot of money, and the things they gave you were nothing more than a drop in the bucket.

However, to be able to make such an extremely conceited and loyal little girl give in to him, this investment by Yuan Zhiyao was actually quite reasonable.

Even if second brother was willing, the family would not agree to it. That Yuan Zhiyao was just a courtesan, how many men would she have an intimate relationship with?

He, the Yuan family, was rich, but in this era, just having money was useless. No matter how much money people gave you, you wouldn't be able to protect it! So how much silver is given to the officials every year.

Because of this, the Yuan Family urgently needed a marriage partner from a political family. The Yuan Family had to pay the money and the political family had to come out. This could also be considered a double win.

However, the key point was that she, Yuan Yao, had taken a fancy to her second brother! The Lu family had always disdained marriage. Although their eldest brother and eldest sister-in-law's marriage was the perfect match, the two of them did not get together because of their political relationship. They were childhood friends, and it was only because of their mutual love that they got married together.

His second brother had always disliked women who liked to show off too much. A courtesan like Yuan Zhiyao was basically his backer, and Lu Kangqin had even offended his future second sister-in-law for her. Just thinking about this made Lu Manli worry.

"Wake up, what kind of person is second brother? Don't you understand? The thing that he hates the most is someone like Yuan Yao, and you actually caused trouble for her? "

Lu Kangqin couldn't stand people saying he was friends, so he couldn't help but defend her, "Sister Yao Yao is very good, she was forced out of her life by her family, she's actually a very virtuous girl."

Lu Cangli had a look of helplessness on her face as she pointed at her forehead, "Did she give you some kind of bewitching soup to make you so dead set on her?" Do you really believe what she says? Don't you have eyes or ears? You really can't tell what the truth is? " What do you mean by 'forced by my family'? Go to hell with those words!

The two were close in age, so they had the best relationship, so they didn't need to worry about speaking too much. Lu Manqin was indeed a very open person, but he was actually quite smart, so he usually listened to her, and because of this, she also liked to teach him.
