Adhere to the gentleman's principles

After Feng Lanzhi left, Zhao Junning felt relaxed. At this moment, Yuan Xinghui came running towards him as if being chased by someone. Zhao Junning walked over curiously, but before she could say anything, she was dragged into the carriage by Yuan Xinghui. Zhao Junning asked, "What's wrong? Why are you in such a hurry?"

Yuan Xinghui panted heavily and said, "It's so scary. I just came out of the martial arts field after practicing spear today, and I saw seven or eight men staring at me. At first I thought they might not be looking at me, but they kept staring at me as I walked. Then I ran and they chased me. Some of them even shouted that they wanted to marry me. I was scared to death."

Suddenly, there was a noise outside the carriage. Yuan Xinghui closed her mouth and said, "Jun Ning, please help me." Zhao Jun Ning nodded. Sure enough, the men who were chasing came to the carriage and asked Fuling Gancao and Feizhou Moyu, "Have you four seen a girl running over wearing a purple dress?"

Zhao Junning opened the curtain before the other two and asked, "What's wrong? Are you looking for someone?" Yuan Xinghui curled up into a ball. The men were stunned when they saw Zhao Junning, but they knew Mo Yu and Fei Zhou were not easy to mess with, so they just asked, "Miss, have you seen a girl in a purple and green dress?"

Zhao Junning replied calmly, "No." The others were also sensible and could tell that Feizhou and Mo Yu were not easy to mess with. They just took out a jade pendant and said, "This was dropped by the girl just now. We just caught up to return the jade pendant and ask the girl a few questions."

After hearing this, Yuan Xinghui hesitated for a while before getting out of the carriage. After getting off the carriage, several people saluted Yuan Xinghui and handed over the jade pendant. Yuan Xinghui asked, "What do you want to ask?" One of them stepped forward and asked politely, "No... I wonder if the young lady is married?"

The four people on the flying boat nearby pricked up their ears and widened their eyes when they heard the gossip. The same thing happened to Zhao Junning in the carriage. Yuan Xinghui remained calm and said, "No marriage is planned."

The man then asked, "Do I have a chance?"

Yuan Xinghui said directly: "No, none of you have one. I'm not in a hurry to get married."

Then several people turned their attention to Zhao Junning, thinking that they would take down as many people as possible. The man asked again, "I wonder if the girl in the carriage is married?" Zhao Junning choked when he said this. The four gossiping people outside the carriage and Yuan Xinghui were also stunned and did not wait for Zhao Junning to speak.

Mo Yu said, "Don't even think about it. My young mistress has already married my son, and they are very loving and sweet." The three echoed, "Yes, yes, my young mistress/young lady and my son/son-in-law are very sweet."

Zhao Junning also said, "I'm married." After saying these four words, there was no more talk. Yuan Xinghui also got on the carriage. The people who chased them could see that Mo Yu and Fei Zhou must be powerful, so they left wisely.

Inside the carriage, Zhao Junning covered her mouth and laughed. Yuan Xinghui's face was dark, "You're still laughing. You were confessed to just now." Zhao Junning stopped laughing and said, "Okay, okay, I won't tease you anymore. I'm not angry anymore."

The carriage was moving.

When they arrived at Li's house, the two got off the carriage. Yuan Xinghui lowered her head and went back into the house. She passed by Xu Wenhe, Lin Muchen and Li Ziyan. Xu Wenhe wanted to talk to her but she ignored him. The three of them found it strange. When Li Ziyan saw Zhao Junning, he quickly walked over.

Xu Wenhe walked up to Zhao Junning and asked, "Junning, what happened to Yuan Xinghui?" Zhao Junning saw that the three were curious and thought about it, then told them what happened today, "I see, Xinghui is quite charming. Not only does the King of Qin like her, but there are also people pursuing her in Liangzhou." Xu Wenhe said with a smile.

Zhao Junning smiled and said, "Xing Hui is pretty. She has been a beauty since she was young. Haven't we always praised her when we saw her since she was young? Who doesn't like a pretty girl?"

Then Li Ziyan snorted, and the three looked at Li Ziyan. Lin Muchen asked, "Ziyan, what's wrong with you? Are you still unhappy about asking for money today?"

Zhao Junning looked at Li Ziyan with even more worry. Xu Wenhe knew what was going on and said in a mean way, "You forgot, Junning just said that those people also asked Junning if she was married. Ziyan must be jealous."

Li Ziyan looked at Xu Wenhe sideways, Zhao Junning looked at Li Ziyan with a smile, and Xu Wenhe and Lin Muchen left tactfully.

Li Ziyan straightened his back, "What are you looking at me for?" Zhao Junning smiled and said, "Nothing, I just think my husband has a childish temper. He is jealous."

Li Ziyan frowned and looked at Zhao Junning: "No? It will make people jealous."

Zhao Junning nodded and said, "I didn't say no, I just think that today's young master is very cute."

Li Ziyan felt a little shy and her ears turned red. Zhao Junning took Li Ziyan back to the yard where they lived and entered the house. After they sat down, Zhao Junning saw that Li Ziyan had not spoken, "My dear, are you still jealous?"

Li Ziyan smiled and said, "No, I just feel that my wife is so charming that I can't control my emotions, let alone those outsiders." Zhao Junning didn't know what to say for a moment.

Suddenly he asked, "How is the debt collection going today?" Li Ziyan rested his chin on his head and said, "Not very good. Qian Lou hid and refused to come out. He asked his wife to come to see us. It's obvious that he doesn't want to pay back the money. There will definitely be a heavy rain in early spring. We must get the money back before that."

"Is that so? What are you going to do next?" Li Ziyan took a sip of tea. "Going to ask for money every day, but this method is not very effective. We need to think of something more practical."

Zhao Junning asked curiously, "What?" Li Ziyan sighed, "I haven't thought about it yet. That Qianlou means too much to the people of Lucheng. There will definitely be no good results if we just go and make trouble." The two fell into deep thought.
