"Since you and my junior brother are from the same village, we are destined to meet. I will call you Miss Honglian..."

Gu Honglian understood Fan Tong's question as if it meant that Fan Tong was interested in her.

Therefore, this time Gu Honglian felt that Fan Tong came to Qinghe Bay for her.

When Fan Tong heard Gu Jingzhe ask this, he said, "I am here to look for Master Su."

Gu Jingzhe frowned slightly.

When he was in the private school in the town, Fan Tong did not seem to respect Master Su very much.

Fan Tong claimed to be the best scholar in Yanguan Town, and thought that Master Su was just a failure in the imperial examinations who had a bad career, so he came to Yanguan Town to be a teacher.

If he was really as good as the rumors said, why didn't he go to Wanliu Academy but came to the township private school instead?

Therefore, he usually did not take Master Su seriously, and Master Su did not have much teacher-student relationship with him.

As soon as Gu Jingzhe frowned, Tong Huaqiong knew that Fan Tong's words were an excuse.

What do you mean by visiting Master Su? Master Su had lived in Qinghe Bay for several months. Many students from the private school had come to visit him. For example, Gu Jingzhe's classmate Meng Yanping came to visit Master Su from time to time, but Fan Tong had never come to visit Master Su.

When Gu Honglian heard that Fan Tong was here to see Master Su, she felt a little disappointed.

She thought he was here to see her.

But then she thought about it and felt happy again. She was just confused. How could Fan Tong have the nerve to say that he came to look for her in front of his sister-in-law and nephew?

Gu Honglian is a straightforward person, and all her emotions are clearly shown on her face.

Tong Huaqiong knew at a glance that Gu Honglian was overthinking.

Tong Huaqiong looked Fan Tong up and down and said, "Look at Mr. Fan's new clothes. Who has chosen you as their son-in-law?"

Fan Tong was almost chosen by Mr. Huang to be his son-in-law, but it was ruined by Tong Huaqiong in the end. Therefore, Fan Tong was touched when he heard Tong Huaqiong say this.

Tong Huaqiong glanced at Gu Honglian.

This sister-in-law is arrogant and spoiled, but after spending the past six months in Qinghe Bay, she is not that bad and even knows how to be sympathetic to Gu Xiaoxue.

Therefore, Tong Huaqiong deliberately told Gu Honglian, hoping that Gu Honglian, this fool, would listen to her and preferably give up thinking about Fan Tong.

Fan Tong was not a good match either in the previous life or in this life.

Fan Tong gritted his teeth and said, "Manager Tong, you are joking. This dress was newly made for me by my sister who got married."

Tong Huaqiong sighed and looked at Fan Tong meaningfully.

This is another Gu Ruinian-style way of showing off one’s ancestors.

Sucking the blood of sisters to nourish themselves.

It’s no wonder that in his previous life, Fan Tong clearly didn’t like Gu Taohua, but he kept clinging to her. He was used to sucking women’s blood, and when he saw that Gu Taohua had a good brother, he immediately rushed over.

All the pampering of Gu Taohua in her previous life disappeared completely when she faced Fan Tong. She was even more love-minded than Lu Zhaozhao. She supported Fan Tong wholeheartedly and lifted Fan Tong up with the help of Gu Jingzhe's power.

Fortunately, Gu Taohua has come to her senses in this life.

Tong Huaqiong doesn't want Fan Tong to get under Gu Taohua's nose again, nor does she want Gu Honglian to follow the same path as Gu Taohua in her previous life.

Fan Tong's scalp tingled when Tong Huaqiong looked at him.

He didn't understand why Widow Tong never had a good attitude towards him, even though he was a respected scholar.

He had hung Gu Taohua before, but that was because Gu Taohua came to him on her own initiative. It was an honor for a stupid country girl like Gu Taohua to be hung by him. He didn't understand why Widow Tong looked down on him so much.

If he had dared to ask this question in the past, he wouldn't dare to do so now.

Now Widow Tong is not only the richest person in Qinghe Bay, but also the mother of the top case.

Speaking of the top candidate in the case, Fan Tong felt uncomfortable.

Originally he was one of the few scholars in Yanguan Town, but now with the emergence of Gu Jingzhe, much of his glory has been taken away.

What’s even more hateful is that he can go to Wanliu Academy.

He wanted to go but had no money.

"Senior Brother Fan, is there something on my face? Why are you always staring at my face?" Gu Jingzhe asked.

Fan Tong said: "No, I just want to say that after Junior Brother went to Wanliu Academy, his demeanor was different from that in the countryside."

Gu Jingzhe said: "That may be because Senior Brother Fan is short-sighted. I am no different from before."

Tong Huaqiong chuckled. Her youngest son's sharp tongue was still as sharp as ever.

Fan Tong was speechless.

"Master Fan, don't you want to see Master Su? I'll take you there."

No matter how stupid Gu Honglian was, she could see that both her sister-in-law and nephew had a bad attitude towards Fan Tong, so she spoke up to help Fan Tong out.

"Yes, I'm afraid Master Su has finished school now. I'm going to see him, and I'd like to trouble Miss Honglian to lead the way." Fan Tong was a little grateful for Gu Honglian's appearance at this time.

Gu Honglian smiled sweetly and took Fan Tong towards the private school.

Tong Huaqiong looked at Gu Honglian coldly. Her sister-in-law had plunged headfirst into the fight.

If Mr. Gu and Mrs. Gu knew that Gu Honglian was in love with Mr. Fan, they would probably want to pounce on her.

After all, the saying that all other things are inferior except for studying is deeply rooted in people's minds in this era.

I’m afraid that a scheming person like Fan Tong would look down on Gu Honglian.

Gu Honglian brought Fan Tong to the entrance of the private school and stopped.

"Mr. Fan, Master Su hasn't finished school yet. I'll wait here with you for a while." Gu Honglian said.

The sound of reading aloud could be heard in the classroom. Fan Tong knew Master Su's rules that he must not be disturbed during class.

Fan Tong said, "Sorry to bother Miss Honglian, I can wait by myself."

Fan Tong's mention of "Miss Honglian" made Gu Honglian feel sweet, and she said, "I'm fine, I'll wait with you."

Gu Honglian was secretly annoyed that her family was not well off and could not afford to offer anything decent to entertain Fan Tong, otherwise she would have invited Fan Tong to her home as a guest.

This way, I can not only slap my second sister-in-law in the face, but also make my mother happy.

When she was in the south, her scholar fiancé hurriedly broke off the engagement when he saw the Gu family's defeat, which made her very embarrassed.

She wanted to show her family that she had the ability to recruit new scholars.

Fan Tong frowned secretly.

As a country girl, she was busy with housework and farm work. It was the first time he met such an idle girl, accompanying a foreign man in broad daylight.

You are too shameless.

It's not that he doesn't know what Gu Honglian is thinking.

If Gu Honglian was as beautiful as a flower, he could tolerate it, but this girl's appearance was not to his liking.

Gu Honglian refused to leave, and Fan Tong didn't want to chase her away, so the two of them stood face to face.

One is unhappy, the other is full of sweetness.

Fan Tong looked in the direction where Tong Huaqiong had just stood, and found a girl in pink clothes coming out of the yard. Looking at the girl from afar, she had red lips and white teeth. Who else could it be but Gu Taohua?

Fan Tong's heart moved, remembering that Gu Honglian was Gu Taohua's aunt, so he slowly asked, "Just now I saw a lot of people busy in that yard, is your village holding a harvest banquet in there?"

Seeing Fan Tong take the initiative to speak to her, Gu Honglian was overjoyed and said, "The harvest banquet in our village has already been held. That was my sister-in-law's weaving workshop."

Sister-in-law? Weaving workshop?

Fan Tong's temples throbbed, and he asked, "Who is your sister-in-law? How could she be so capable as to open a weaving workshop?"

Gu Honglian smiled and said, "The one who asked you the question just now was my sister-in-law."

She felt a little regretful after saying this. Wouldn't Fan Tong know that Gu Jingzhe was her nephew? What should she do if Fan Tong treated her as an elder and stopped him from showing any affection towards her?
