After her luck was taken away, she fell in love with the woman who traveled through time.

Dongfang Xuan glanced at Liang You and said self-deprecatingly: "I don't mind. What should I mind? I'm just a poor scholar. What can I ask of others?"

"I don't think your sister likes me. You should go back with your sister and find another marriage partner."

"My shabby temple is too small to accommodate you... Go away, don't waste my time. I have to take Yan Zi out to sell calligraphy and paintings."

"I am not like you, born to enjoy happiness..."

Dongfang Xuan's words were quite sarcastic.

Liang You, who was standing by, didn't care about Dongfang Xuan's weird voice at all. She even comforted Dongfang Xuan: "No way, I believe you will be the top scorer next year!"

Dongfang Xuan rolled his eyes at Liang You again: "If I could have passed the exam and become the top scholar, I wouldn't have failed the exam three times in a row and failed to get a place in the imperial examination..."

"No matter how hard I try, I can't compare to the children of officials and noble families. Even if they are uneducated and unlettered, they can still have a bright future. The men inherit the official positions of their families and have a smooth career, and the women marry into wealthy families and live a carefree life."

"Haha, this world of cannibalism is unfair, unfair!"

Dongfang Xuan became angrier as he spoke.

He pointed to the sky in anger and began to curse.

Liang You, who was standing by, couldn't help but feel sad and heartbroken when he saw this scene.

She stretched out her arms and hugged Dongfang Xuan tightly, who was roaring at the sky, trying to calm his inner anger and anxiety with her warm embrace.

Liang Tan, who was standing opposite them, had a blank expression on her face. She watched coldly as Dongfang Xuan, who was losing control of his emotions, was in front of her.

Then, she looked up at the sky, which had been clear and cloudless but suddenly became gloomy and dark, and sighed softly.

Liang Tan said coldly: "You blame the heavens, and you may be struck by lightning."

"Humph, would I be afraid of being struck by lightning?" Dongfang Xuan was full of disdain when he heard Liang Tan's voice, and an extremely sarcastic smile appeared on the corner of his mouth: "The sky is merciless, so why can't I curse it! I just want to curse this sky! Curse it until it is bloody!"

"Shh-"

A dazzling flash of lightning suddenly streaked across the sky, followed by a loud bang above his head, and a bolt of lightning struck straight towards Dongfang Xuan.

"Ah!!!" Liang You let out a shrill scream and hid behind Dongfang Xuan with a terrified look on her face.

However, Dongfang Xuan ruthlessly threw Liang You out at this time and used her body to block the lightning for himself.

At this critical moment——

Lightning struck a big tree not far from them. In an instant, the whole tree became charred on the outside and tender on the inside, emitting a pungent burnt smell.

Liang You was still holding his head, his face full of fear, and he obviously had not yet recovered from the thrilling scene that had just happened.

Dongfang Xuan on the side glanced at Liang You nonchalantly and let go of Liang You's hand, as if what had just happened had nothing to do with him.

Dongfang Xuan regained his composure. He said coldly to Liang You, who was lying on the ground, with disgust: "Go away. You will be struck by lightning if you keep pestering me."

"No, I don't want to be separated from you..." Liang You was still stubborn and didn't take the thrilling scene to heart at all.

"Liang Er, you are like a dog-skin plaster that can't be shaken off!"

Seeing that Dongfang Xuan was about to get angry again, Liang You quickly changed her words: "Dongfang, don't be angry. It's not good to get sick from anger..."

"Alright, I don't want to bother with you!" Dongfang Xuan waved his hand impatiently: "Hurry up and leave, don't delay me from selling calligraphy and paintings!"

"Okay... I'll go back first, but don't worry, Dongfang, I will definitely try my best to convince my father..."

"We will definitely be together!"

"Also, you should drink less..."

After saying that, Liang You hurriedly left with Liang Tan beside him.

……

On the way back, Liang Tan was silent.

Liang You said to Liang Tan happily: "Sister, you see, that's the man I like. Do you think he is like what I told you, not afraid of power, a man who stands tall and proud!"

"Sister, I just like him!"

Liang Tan walked along the path in silence, thinking that he would see the carriage returning home after turning another corner.

Liang You was yelling, "Sister, why don't you say anything? Tell me, are you also conquered by a man like this? Let me make it clear, I won't give him to you. He can only be mine!"

"Even if you want to snatch it, I won't let go!"

Liang Tan was speechless.

After seeing the carriage returning home, Liang Tan walked towards the carriage very quickly.

After getting on the carriage, Liang You next to him was still chattering and praising Dongfang Xuan.

Liang Tan closed his eyes and rested, subconsciously trying to block out Liang You's voice.

It was not until they were almost at Liang Mansion that Liang Tan half opened his eyes and looked at Liang You, who was leaning against the wall of the carriage to rest because he said he was tired.

Liang Tan asked: "You didn't tell Dongfang Xuan your true identity?"

Liang Da, Liang Er...

The name is fake, so the identity is naturally fake too.

Liang You finally came to life when she heard her sister mention Dongfang Xuan's name.

She raised her voice and said, "Of course not! How could I tell Dongfang my true identity!"

"What Dongfang hates most is the aristocrats. If I tell him the truth...he will never be with me!"

Liang Tan asked again: "Then what identity did you tell Dongfang Xuan about?"

"I told him that my family does business on Heqian Street, my father is the owner of a tea shop, my mother died young, and my sister is about to die..."

Liang Tan: “…”

-

Liang Tan held his forehead with his hand: "Is that what you said?"

"Yeah, if I didn't put it in a more pathetic way, there's no way Dongfang would let me get close to him!"

"Madam Li, you are joking." Liang Tan smiled at Madam Li politely and distantly, "Liang Tan, goodbye."

Now that the Queen and the Imperial Concubine had left, there was no need to continue the Spring Banquet.

Liang Tan walked around Madam Li and was about to leave with Deng Zhi, but Madam Li stopped Liang Tan and said, "Tan'er, wait a minute."

Liang Tan didn't turn around.

Madam Li looked at the green figure. She thought for a moment and finally spoke: "Don't mind what happened before... Tan'er."

Liang Tan knew that Mrs. Li was talking about what happened on the way to the capital.

Liang Tan turned his head slightly and said nothing.

"Tan'er..." Mrs. Li looked at Liang Tan's attitude. She was not sure whether Liang Tan was angry or not.

After all, she has a cold face when she is not angry, and it is the same when she is angry.

It seems like nothing can stir her emotions...

She hardly saw any other expression on Liang Tan's face, especially... a smile.

Liang Tan's footsteps only paused slightly, but he did not stop. Liang Tan took Dengzhi and went straight out of Yuhua Garden.

Several gossipy ladies in Yuhua Garden came to Madam Li and asked curiously, "Madam Li, are Liang Tan and Xu Shengsheng really sisters?"

She wasn't angry if Xu Shengsheng wasn't mentioned, but as soon as Xu Shengsheng was mentioned, Mrs. Li became angry again.

She looked at the young noble lady who was speaking, and said unhappily, "Didn't you all hear everything just now? Why are you asking me? I'm not from the Liang Mansion."
