Mu Qianqian: ...

[It’s not that she doesn’t want to cry. ]

[She really couldn't cry anymore.]

[How about you pinch me again? ]

Lu Zhaolin:!!!

Also...it's not impossible.

It's just that I just can't bring myself to do it.

But for Lu Zhaolin.

Lu Zhaofeng still gritted his teeth, his fingertips just touching Mu Qianqian's arm.

A noisy sound came from the direction of the door.

"Feng'er, why did you bring Qianqian here?" The one who was walking towards this side while speaking was Mrs. Lu.

She saw Lu Zhaolin holding Mu Qianqian and standing beside Lu Zhaolin's bed, and her expression became panic.

She took two quick steps and tugged at Lu Zhaofeng's sleeve.

Signal him to come out quickly with your eyes.

Lu Zhaofeng was startled, and hurriedly covered Lu Zhaolin with the quilt: "Brother, then I will take Qianqian back first, and come to see you another day."

There was silence in response.

Mrs. Lu moved her lips, seemed to be about to say something, but stopped herself and gave him a look.

"Someone is coming from the Imperial Censor's house. You should come out soon. Everyone is waiting for you. Go quickly."

"Okay." Lu Zhaolin paused, and before leaving, he looked at Lu Zhaolin again.

My brother clearly opened his eyes just now.

And when he saw Mu Qianqian, he didn't lose his temper.

Why did he pretend to be asleep when he heard someone coming?

Lu Zhaofeng couldn't figure it out.

Then Mrs. Lu returned to the dinner table.

The bustling scene here and the quiet scene over at Lu Zhaolin's end are like two completely different worlds.

When Concubine Shu saw Mu Qianqian, she hurriedly took her over.

"This must be the second young master of the Lu family. He is indeed young and promising, handsome and a man of talent." The one who spoke was the Imperial Censor who came to propose marriage yesterday.

He heard that Concubine Shu was returning to the General's Mansion to visit her relatives today, so he specially prepared a generous gift.

"My daughter is fortunate enough to marry Mr. Lu, and it is a blessing for our Siqi." After the Imperial Censor said this, he drank the full glass of white wine in one gulp without waiting for the general to speak.

【Oh my god! 】

[Is this the legendary parents' orders and matchmaker's words? ]

[For such a big thing as marriage, they just forced me to buy and sell it without even discussing it with my uncle. ]

[This is too much.]

Everyone was silent.

The general raised his wine glass somewhat awkwardly: "Today is the day when the Concubine Shu returns home to visit her parents. It is just a family dinner. We will discuss my son's marriage later. Everyone is a guest. Since Lord Xia happened to be here, please sit down and eat together."

The Imperial Censor was startled and his eyes fell on Concubine Shu.

"Good luck to the Empress Shufei. I pay my respects to the Empress Shufei. I am shortsighted and did not know that the Empress Shufei was here. I will punish myself by drinking a cup now." After the Imperial Censor said this, he poured himself a full cup and drank it all in one gulp.

[Tsk, tsk, tsk. 】

[You keep saying you didn't know my mother was here, but it seems to me that you came here just for my mother.]

[My uncle is already old, but he didn't propose marriage earlier or later. He insisted on waiting for my mother to come home to visit her parents before proposing marriage.]

[I think you are here for my mother, and my uncle is just a cannon fodder. ]

[I find that people of this generation are really good at pretending, and they are all movie stars! ]

Lu Zhaolin: ...

How old?

He is only in his early twenties.

"Lord Xia, your words are too polite. Please sit down." Concubine Shu said softly.

"Thank you, Your Majesty." The Imperial Censor bowed deeply again.

Mu Qianqian nestled in Concubine Shu's arms, playing with her fingers.

How could she remember...
