I have been farming since I crossed over.

After a long while, Minister Tang slowly spoke again: "Sun Jizhong doesn't know that I have been in love with Ge'er for a long time."

Minister Tang stood up, looked out the window, and continued, "Back then, Ge'er and him got along very harmoniously. Seeing this, I naturally didn't want to cause trouble and ruin this beautiful relationship, so I buried my feelings deep in my heart and never expressed them. Now that I think about it, I was able to be with Ge'er, it was really thanks to his help."

After hearing this, Lu Jintang was completely shocked!

He opened his eyes wide, his mouth slightly open, and couldn't utter a word for a long time.

My heart was like a huge wave, and my thoughts were in a mess.

According to the fourth brother, the third sister and Sun Jizhong had already reached the critical stage of discussing marriage, and the traditional six rituals had been mostly completed.

Everything seemed to be heading towards a happy marriage.

But fate played a cruel joke on us at this time.

Suddenly, a piece of news spread like wildfire: Sun Jizhong actually ruined the innocence of another girl!

Now that was good, the girl naturally refused to give up and forced Sun Jizhong to marry her as his legal wife.

After learning about this, Sun Jizhong fell into extreme pain.

He lost his appetite and couldn't sleep for several days, and was in great torment.

On the one hand, he really couldn't bear to let his beloved third sister condescend to become a concubine; on the other hand, how could a prominent family like the Lu family allow their daughter to suffer such injustice?

After some struggle, Sun Jizhong finally chose to cancel his engagement with his third sister.

But who could have imagined that one crisis would be followed by another.

Not long after, the former Minister of War, Mr. Tang, came in person to propose marriage to my third sister on behalf of his eldest son, Tang Songye.

Perhaps it was fate, the marriage went extremely smoothly and the two got married soon.

It is gratifying that after marriage, Tang Songye took good care of Lu Jinge and doted on her in every way, and it can even be said that he loved his wife as his life.

No matter what happened, he always tolerated his wife and tried his best to meet all her requirements.

The couple respected each other and lived a sweet and happy life.

Thinking of these past events, Lu Jintang's eyes slowly fell on Minister Tang, and he said softly, "It's really hard for you to be so tolerant and accommodating to my third sister."

Upon hearing this, Minister Tang smiled bitterly, sighed slightly, and replied, "I truly cannot bear this kind of affection. My love for Ge'er comes from the depths of my heart. Therefore, no matter what she is like, I only see her as beautiful and lovely, even now."

Listening to these affectionate words, Lu Jintang's lips curled up slightly, revealing a faint smile, but he quickly turned his head and looked out the window.

For a moment, the room was so quiet that only the sound of the two people breathing could be heard.

After a long while, Lu Jintang seemed to suddenly remember something and broke the silence, asking, "How about we go over and see Sun Jizhong?"

Minister Tang shook his head without hesitation, looking somewhat lonely.

After a long pause, he whispered, "It's better not to! I don't know why, but I always feel like the happiness I have now is stolen. Whenever I see him, an indescribable sense of guilt wells up in my heart. I don't know how to face him at all."

Lu Jintang nodded in understanding, indicating that he agreed with Minister Tang's idea.

Then he fell into deep memories again, his thoughts drifting back to those days filled with joy, anger, sorrow and happiness...

He was still young at that time, but he had an extraordinary keen perception.

Whenever his third sister stepped into the Lu family's gate, he could clearly feel the joy surging from deep within her heart; however, once she stepped out of the Lu family's threshold, that happiness would quickly recede like the tide, replaced by deep sorrow and sadness.

Little Lu Jintang was very confused and puzzled by this, and his curious little head kept thinking about the reasons.

Finally one day, unable to suppress his doubts, he clung to his fourth brother, begging him to solve the mystery for him by coaxing, begging and acting cute.

At that time, he was only five years old! From then on, the name Sun Jizhong was added to his list of enemies.

By that time, Sun Jiye had already become a widower.

I heard that his wife, Liu Xianer, passed away from a sudden illness just a few months after marrying into the Sun family.

Since then, Sun Jiye never thought about getting married again.

Sun Jiye resolutely followed General Sun to join the military career, and lived in the military camp since then, rarely having the opportunity to return to the prosperous and bustling capital.

Time flies, and ten years have passed in the blink of an eye.

When Lu Jintang was fifteen years old, he had already achieved some success in the military camp, but was sent home by General Lu.

On the way home, Lu Jintang ran to Sun Jizhong's military camp. When he saw Sun Jizhong with gray hair and thin body, his anger disappeared.

Sun Jizhong looked at him with a smile and said, "I've been waiting for your arrival. You are the youngest of the Lu family, right?"

Lu Jintang was surprised and looked at him without saying anything.

Sun Jizhong smiled again and said, "Because every one of your brothers has been here before, I know you will definitely come. Go ahead, I will never fight back."

Lu Jintang smiled, patted Sun Jizhong on the shoulder, and the two started drinking on the spot.

Sun Jizhong was drunk by Lu Jintang, and finally got a lot of unknown secrets out of him. The two became friends regardless of age difference.

After that, every time Sun Jizhong returned to Beijing, he would come to see Lu Jintang.

Every time Lu Jintang went out, he would run to Sun Jizhong's military camp to see him.

Later, he became familiar with Sun Jiye and Miss Sun San. In fact, Sun Jizhong meant to match him with Miss Sun San, but although Miss Sun San was also an older daughter of the Sun family, she was still seven years older than Lu Jintang, so the plan ended up with nothing.

Among the three siblings of the Sun family, only Sun Jiye got married and gave birth to a boy. It can be said that the family had no descendants.

One day, when Lu Jintang and Sun Jizhong were drinking, Sun Jizhong suddenly said, "Tang boy, marriage is a serious matter and must be handled with caution. That's why I won't tell you to marry my sister. Just look at my life and you'll know. All my misfortunes started after I got married."

When Lu Jintang recalled it now, he smiled knowingly and thought to himself that he had married the right person.

What Lu Jintang didn't know was that if Yang Mingxi hadn't traveled through time, his life would have been even more miserable than Sun Jizhong's.
