When he ran down from the carriage, the familiar figure was nowhere to be seen.

Lu Jingxun stood in the crowd feeling lost.

He had more or less guessed that he was not Old Lady Ye's biological son, but he had never been willing to admit it. Naturally, he was happy to be able to return to his biological parents.

But this happiness is accompanied by more complicated emotions.

He never dared to dream of becoming the eldest son of the Yongkang Marquisate. Before returning to Anjing, the highest official he had ever seen was the county magistrate, and he could only look at him from afar and did not even have the right to go up and talk to him.

But now he has become the eldest son of Yang Kanghou Mansion. No, not as, but recovered, he was originally Lu Jingxun.

As the eldest son of the Yongkang Marquisate, he was bound to marry a noble lady from a wealthy and powerful family, but he married a homeless girl instead.

Yes, his mother didn't even want to find him a wife. It was Yu Xiuying who married him to repay her and gave birth to three children for her...

When he went to the battlefield, Yu Xiuying was pregnant with an unborn daughter. Later, the Marquis's Mansion sent someone to pick her up, only to say that Yu Xiuying had given birth to three daughters, and all three of them died in the flood.

As for the Ye family, they have not been found yet. In fact, after he knew that he was abducted by Old Lady Ye, he didn't want to see the Ye family again.

He just wants his wife and children...

Even though he would be laughed at, he still wanted his family to be reunited, but unfortunately God did not give him this opportunity.

In fact, there are many people who are willing to marry into the Marquis's Mansion, but unfortunately the Marquis's wife looks down on the daughters of those people. In her opinion, those women are not worthy of standing with her son.

None of the wealthy families who could be a good match for the Marquis's Mansion wanted their daughters to marry Lu Jingxun, who had an embarrassing status.

So the wife of the Marquis wanted to take advantage of the banquet to select some noble ladies from aristocratic families. However, as luck would have it, Princess Qianqian accidentally fell into the water, and even more coincidentally, Lu Jingxun saved her.

The wife of the Marquis was overjoyed. Isn't this a match made in heaven?

But what kind of family does the eldest princess belong to? She is a legitimate royal relative. How could she bear to let her daughter marry Lu Jingxun?

Besides, Princess Qianqian already has a lover, so this probably won't work.

Lu Jingxun didn't have any special feelings about whether he could marry the princess. Anyway, his wife and children were gone now, so he had to get married eventually.

"Master Lu!"

Lu Jingxun also made contributions on the battlefield. After returning to Beijing, the emperor learned about Lu Jingxun's story and conferred him the title of Dianyi (5th rank).

Lu Jingxun was still immersed in the pain of losing his loved ones. When someone called him like this, he slowly came to his senses and saw a woman not far away smiling at him.

Lu Jingxun did not recognize the woman, but when he heard her calling him like that, he asked.

"Miss is..."

Dong Xuan'er bowed respectfully to Lu Jingxun and said, "My little girl Dong Xuan'er, we met last time when the Marquis' Mansion held a banquet. It was probably because I was too ordinary that Lord Lu failed to remember me."

"It turns out that Miss Dong was disrespectful."

Seeing that Dong Xuan'er was alone with only a maid, Lu Jingxun frowned subconsciously: "Where is Miss Dong going?"

"I have nothing to do at home, so I want to go out for a walk."

"Where are you going, Master Lu?"

"I also want to come out and get some fresh air."

"If Lord Lu doesn't mind, shall we go for a walk together?"

The eldest princess's mansion.

"Princess, the Marquis' Mansion is really too much. How dare they spread such rumors outside? They have completely disregarded your reputation."

Su Qianqian lay on her side on the chaise longue, her pretty face ashen.

"The lady of the Marquis's Mansion thinks she is so smart, but she doesn't know my personality. As long as I don't want to, no matter what she does, she will never make me agree, let alone marrying an old man."

"You are right, Princess. The eldest son of the Marquis's family has been raised in the countryside for so many years. He must be a coarse and rude old man. How can he be worthy of you, Princess?"

"Alright, who he is has nothing to do with us. No matter what, he did save me this time. I won't bother with them because he saved me. But if they still don't know what's good for them, I will fight them to the death."

"Well, she is indeed my daughter."

The eldest princess strode in, sat down next to Su Qianqian, and gently took her daughter's hand.

"My daughter, although we will not marry into this mansion, you are indeed old enough to discuss marriage, why don't you..."

"Mother, why do you have to be so subtle? Your daughter is not old enough to get married. Anyone her age is a mother of several children."

The princess sighed helplessly, "My daughter, even if the man you mentioned was a country bumpkin, your mother would accept him, but the problem is that we can't find him now. Or maybe you don't want to get married, so you deliberately made up such a man to deceive your mother."

Speaking of her sweetheart, Su Qianqian felt annoyed and melancholy: "Yes, how nice it would be if my daughter made up such a person."

"Mother, is your daughter wrong?"

"My daughter wanted to wait for the clouds to clear and see the moon like her mother and father did, but who knew that what I waited for was actually an endless wait, like a mirage..."

"Mother, I promise you that if I still don't hear from him by the Mid-Autumn Festival this year, I will listen to your arrangements."

"Okay, you said it yourself."

"Mother, you know your daughter. She always keeps her word."

A maidservant walked towards this side quickly outside the door. Before she came in, she shouted: "Princess, it's bad, it's bad, the prince is fighting with someone."

The busy street was blocked and right in the center of the crowd, Su Ziming and Lu Jingxun both had bruises on their faces.

"Today I will beat you to death for ruining my sister's reputation."

No matter how old Lu Jingxun was, he didn't want to conflict with anyone. He and Dong Xuan'er were shopping when Su Ziming came up and punched him without giving him a chance to explain.

"Su Ziming, I advise you to go back quickly and stop looking for trouble. Don't think I don't dare to hit you."

"Lu Jingxun, why are you pretending to be a grandson? Try to hit me and I will make you pay for it!"

Lu Jingxun sneered: "Did you get the wound on your face by yourself?"

As soon as these words came out, the people around burst into laughter.

Su Ziming was so angry at the laughter that he raised his fist and hit Lu Jingxun in the face.

"I'll kill you."

Su Ziming was no match for Lu Jingxun. Except for the initial moment when Lu Jingxun was caught off guard and was hit a few times by Su Ziming, he had always had the upper hand.

How much older is Lu Jingxun? He won't be as impulsive as Su Ziming! The two families are officials in the same court and are in the same circle. They see each other every day. It's better not to make it too ugly!

Lu Jingxun nimbly dodged Su Ziming's attacks again and again. This made Su Ziming even more angry!
