Lu Wanqing's heart was filled with grief. She looked at Lin Hao, tears streaming down her cheeks: "He...why did he do this to me?"

Lin Hao looked at her, feeling helpless. He walked up to her and gently patted her on the shoulder: "Wanqing, love is like this. No one is sorry for anyone, only who doesn't cherish anyone. Yunlin has his own choice, and you should also have your own choice."

Lu Wanqing looked at Lin Hao with confusion in her eyes. She didn't know what she should do, she only knew that she couldn't lose Ji Yunlin.

The warm spring sun shone through the mottled shadows of the trees onto Lu Wanqing's face. Her narrow eyes became much softer at this moment.

Lu Wanqing sat on an exquisitely carved wooden chair, gently waving a silk round fan in her hand, but her heart was surging.

"Cuiying, go to the market quickly and find the errand boy no matter what. I want to know the whereabouts of Ji Yunlin." Although Lu Wanqing's voice was soft, it was firm and unquestionable.

Cuiying nodded gently and was about to leave when Lu Wanqing stopped her: "Remember, don't let anyone find out where we are, especially that girl Lu Yundi."

The maid Cuiying took the order and left, but Lu Wanqing felt uneasy as if her heart was hanging in the air.

She looked at the blooming crabapple flowers outside the window, and an indescribable bitterness welled up in her heart.

Lu Yundi, her younger sister, has always been a thorn in her heart.

As night fell, the moonlight was like water, sprinkling on Lu Wanqing's window. She sat alone in the room, her heart full of Ji Yunlin's shadow.

At this moment, the maid Cuiying came back in a hurry. She looked a little tired, but her eyes were shining with excitement. "Miss, I found the errand boy. He told me that Ji Yunlin was invited by the wife of the Marquis of Loyalty and Bravery, Lu Yundi, to the Marquis of Loyalty and Bravery's mansion to be the teacher of Young Master Yan!"

Lu Wanqing was shocked when she heard this, her face full of disbelief: "What? He actually went to the Mansion of the Marquis of Loyalty and Bravery? Moreover, it was my sister Lu Yundi who invited him to go!"

Why is Lu Yundi always one step ahead of her?

Lu Wanqing gritted his teeth. It seemed that he had to go to the Mansion of the Loyal and Brave Marquis!

There was a gleam of determination in her eyes, knowing that the competition between her and her sister was far more than that.

Lu Wanqing took a deep breath, turned around and walked out of the house, followed closely by her maid Cuiying.

"Cuiying, prepare the car. I want to go to the Mansion of Marquis Zhongyong immediately." Lu Wanqing said in a firm tone, her eyes were as cold as ice, as if they could see through all obstacles.

……

In the Loyal and Brave Marquis's mansion, Lu Yundi was sitting in the exquisite living room, waiting for Ji Yunlin's arrival. Her eyes were calm, but she couldn't hide her inner anticipation.

When Ji Yunlin stepped into the living room, she immediately stood up and greeted him with a smile.

"Master Ji, you are finally here." Lu Yundi's voice was soft and elegant, and she personally poured a cup of tea for Ji Yunlin.

Ji Yunlin smiled slightly, his eyes stayed on Lu Yundi for a moment, and then he politely took the teacup: "Madam, you are too polite."

At this time, Lu Wanqing's carriage slowly drove into the mansion of the Marquis of Loyalty and Bravery. As soon as she got off the car, she saw Ji Yunlin and her sister Lu Yundi in the hall.

"Sister, you are really good at this." Lu Wanqing walked into the hall with a hint of sarcasm in her tone.

Lu Yundi smiled slightly, with a hint of pride in her eyes: "Sister, you are here. Master Ji, this is my sister Lu Wanqing."

Ji Yunlin turned around and met Lu Wanqing's eyes.

Lu Wanqing looked at Ji Yunlin coldly: "Master Ji, I didn't expect that we would meet here again."

Ji Yunlin smiled slightly, with a hint of calmness in his eyes: "Miss Lu, you misunderstood. I came here purely for the study of Young Master Yan."

Lu Wanqing snorted coldly and turned to Lu Yundi: "Sister, you are always so smart and always get ahead of me. But this time, do you really think you can get what you want?"

Lu Yundi's eyes flashed with anger, but she quickly regained her composure: "Sister, I invited Master Ji, but his talent and wisdom are needed by everyone. Why do you have to be so fussy?"

Lu Wanqing's eyes widened, anger burning in them: "Sister, who do you think I am? How can I, Lu Wanqing, be the kind of person who can't tolerate others? But Ji Yunlin, he was the teacher I chose first. What you are doing is clearly trying to snatch him from me!"

Ji Yunlin stood aside with a complicated expression. He looked at Lu Wanqing, and a complex emotion surged in his heart. He had always thought that Lu Wanqing was a gentle and virtuous woman, but at this moment, her anger and determination caught him off guard.

"Miss Lu, Madam, you two have misunderstood." Ji Yunlin spoke, trying to ease the tense atmosphere, "I came here only to teach Young Master Yan. As for the dispute between the two of you, I don't want to interfere."

Lu Wanqing looked at Ji Yunlin coldly: "Master Ji, do you think you can wash away your guilt by saying this? Since you have already promised your sister, you should know what this means to me."

Ji Yunlin was silent for a moment, then slowly spoke: "Ms. Lu, I admit that I do have some selfish motives. But I believe that Young Master Yan needs a better educational environment. I am willing to take on everything for his future."

After hearing this, Lu Wanqing's anger subsided a little. She looked at Ji Yunlin with a complicated look in her eyes.

At this time, Cuiying quietly walked to Lu Wanqing and whispered a few words. Lu Wanqing's eyes flashed with surprise, and then she turned to look at Lu Yundi: "Sister, are you going too far by doing this?"

Lu Yundi smiled slightly, with a hint of pride in her eyes: "Sister, I just want to find a better teacher for Young Master Yan. If you also think that Master Ji is suitable, then we can hire him together."

Lu Wanqing took a deep breath, and the anger in her heart was gradually replaced by reason. She looked at Lu Yundi, and a trace of determination flashed in her eyes: "Sister, you win. But remember, this does not mean that I will give up. I will continue to look for opportunities to get Ji Yunlin back to me!"

After saying that, she walked away.

……

At this time in the South Study, Yan Canglan was concentrating on studying hard.

Yan Canglan's condition in the afternoon recovered just as he expected.

The sunlight filtered through the window lattice into his spacious study, illuminating his focused face.

Yan Canglan sat in front of the mahogany desk, the brush in his hand dancing lightly on the paper, lines of clear handwriting appeared on the paper. His eyes were firm and focused, as if the whole world had nothing to do with him. The bad morning seemed to have disappeared, replaced by a full mental state.

Outside the study, the servants of the Loyal and Brave Marquis' Mansion all looked at the young master curiously. They didn't know how Yan Canglan adjusted his state in a short period of time and devoted himself to studying again.

Scholars value perseverance and persistence, and Yan Canglan's ability to adjust himself in a short period of time makes them admire him very much.

Time flies, and the sun gradually sets. Yan Canglan still maintains that state of concentration, his brows are tightly knitted, as if he is thinking about some difficult problem.
