Golden Branch

Lou Yu heard the sound, looked up, and saw a little girl of eight or nine years old.

She was dressed in gorgeous clothes and had a proud look on her face. Although there were only two maids following her, Lou Yu, who had practiced martial arts since childhood and had keen senses, could vaguely detect a few subtle auras not far away.

Secret guard!

When she goes out to visit guests, she has guards hidden in the dark. This is not the equipment that ordinary noble ladies from aristocratic families have.

Lou Yu's warm gaze gently swept across the little girl's face.

Hmm, it seems somewhat familiar.

He has fox eyes, a high nose bridge, and is slightly taller than his peers.

This is... the Lou family!

Not to mention, when people call each other "brother" when they meet, they have actually revealed their identities.

"Are you Lou Lang?"

Lou Yu smiled lightly, and from his eyes to his face, he was gentle and humble.

A gentleman is like jade, modest and polite. Even if he is facing a child, he will not be disrespectful or foolish.

Besides, this person might be his biological sister.

"Brother, do you know me?"

Until the moment he met Lou Yu, Lou Lang was feeling uneasy.

She knew that this brother, although born out of wedlock, was her father's eldest son and had been loved and pampered by her father.

Unfortunately, my father loved my mother very much. In order to prevent her from suffering any grievances, he gave my brother away as a foster parent after she got married.

After the establishment of the Xin Dynasty, the Lou family moved to the capital, leaving only my brother in the countryside of Hedong.

For ten years, my brother has never come to Beijing, and my parents have never visited him in Hedong.

They are obviously blood relatives, but they are separated from each other.

And she is also a sibling of my brother, but they have never met.

The first time we met was at a banquet at someone else's house.

Lou Lang is curious about his brother, feels guilty, and longs to be close to him.

But she also knew that her brother was not on good terms with his family and his parents.

The elder brother might even vent his anger on her and the second brother.

After all, they are both descendants of the Lou family. Her elder brother was adopted and abandoned, but she and her second brother can live in the care of their parents.

Although Lou Lang is young, he knows how to think from other people's perspectives.

She once thought that if she were her brother and had experienced these things when she was young, she would definitely feel resentful and take her anger out on others.

Lou Lang felt that he was not worrying too much.

The fact that my brother did not return to the Anguo Mansion immediately after returning to Beijing clearly illustrates his attitude.

"...Brother blames our parents, and probably hates us too!"

This realization made Lou Lang very sad.

She has always wanted to have an tolerant and doting elder brother.

So, after arriving at the princess's mansion, knowing that his brother was helping to entertain guests in the courtyard, Lou Lang wanted to find his brother.

She, she wanted to pay her respects to her brother and tell him some of her inner thoughts——

No matter what, my brother and she are siblings who are still connected even if their bones are broken!

As for the possibility of his brother being cold or even scolding him after seeing him, Lou Lang had anticipated it in advance.

She was also mentally prepared.

It is true that the Lou family has wronged her brother, and she and her second brother have received all the love from their parents, so it is normal for her brother to envy and resent them.

Her brother got angry because of this and then ignored her, but Lou Lang could accept it.

However, Lou Lang never expected that the reality was not as tragic as she had imagined!

The brother was not angry. When he saw her, he actually smiled.

My brother is already handsome and elegant, and this smile of his is even more stunning and heart-stirring.

And this gentle, handsome and handsome man is her biological brother.

Lou Lang's little heart was so happy that it almost jumped out of his chest.

My brother smiled at me!

Brother, don’t blame me!

Brother...that's so nice.

Lou Lang is a small kid, and his whole body is wrapped in a bubble of happiness.

She tried her best to suppress her excitement and nodded vigorously, "Brother, I'm Lou Lang!"

"So it really is Alang!"

Lou Yu's smile became more and more amiable. He raised his foot and walked slowly towards Lou Lang.

He bent down slightly so that his eyes were level with Lou Lang's.

When the eyes, which are already deep, look intently at someone, they can easily create a "affectionate" effect.

His eyes were like shining stars, gentle yet brilliant.

Being stared at by such eyes, Lou Lang couldn't help but feel: Brother likes me!

Ahhhhh!

that is really good!

Not only did my brother not vent his anger on me, but on the contrary, he acted like a generous and loving elder brother.

He seemed to be able to tolerate everything about her, and to protect and love her.

Lou Lang clenched his fists tightly, raised his head, and looked back at him eagerly with eyes that were very similar to Lou Yu's.

"Brother, I'm Alang!"

Hey, brother’s voice is also very nice.

Lou Lang only heard the voice and had the illusion of being doted on.

Her fox eyes were also filled with stars.

"..."

Lou Yu didn't say anything, just smiled softly.

When Princess Ping'an, King Wei and other nobles saw this, they couldn't help but soften their expressions.

After all, they are siblings from the same father. Even if they have grievances against their elders, they will not vent their anger on the next generation.

Lou Yu is indeed a handsome, kind and generous person.

He is clear about gratitude and resentment, he is reasonable, and he also cares about blood ties.

Only those who are upright, gentle, and have a broad mind are true gentlemen and are more worthy of people's association and closeness.

Even Wang Mian, who knew Lou Yu well, couldn't help but wonder: Huh? When did this little pervert become so warm and kind?

Is he an invisible sister-con?

You are always so tolerant towards your sister?!

Only Wang Heng was able to see through the truth behind Lou Yu's so-called "closeness"——

Lou Yu didn't consider Lou Lang as his own at all.

He just had a very good attitude, but did not take any substantial action.

He didn't even touch his lovely sister's head or pinch her face like an older brother.

This is the instinctive reaction to show closeness.

Lou Yu's closeness is superficial and not sincere at all.

Lou Yu seemed to be aware of Wang Heng's gaze. He looked away and glanced at Wang Heng out of the corner of his eye.

Wang Heng's heart skipped a beat; she was too familiar with Lou Yu.

With just one glance, even if it was just a glance out of the corner of her eye, Wang Heng understood what he meant: Ah Heng, do you see, Lou Lang and I are "brother and sister".

Wang Heng frowned slightly. What did Lou Yu mean by this?

Wang Heng didn't understand it for a moment, so she kept it in her heart.

"It turns out to be the little girl from the Anguo Mansion!"

Wang Heng was the host, and although this little guest was not looking for her, she still had to say hello since she saw him.

Lou Yu seemed to have just come to his senses from the warmth of "brother and sister recognizing each other." He quickly stood up and said politely to Wang Heng, "Princess, please forgive me. I am young and have never seen your beautiful face. I have been disrespectful to you!"

Like a good brother, he apologized on behalf of his sister.

Lou Yu turned around again and gently reminded Lou Lang, "Ah Lang, why don't you pay your respects to Princess Langya?"

Lou Lang is not even ten years old yet. She is spoiled by her parents, but she is also a daughter of aristocratic family who has received a strict upbringing since childhood.

I was so surprised to see you just now that I forgot about etiquette.

At this moment, reminded by her brother, she hurriedly saluted with her arms crossed: "Lang greets the princess!"

"No need to be so polite! The Duke of Qi and I have known each other since childhood and are as close as brother and sister. Ah Lang, since you are my brother's sister, you are also my sister!"

Wang Heng smiled slightly and was very friendly.

Like Lou Yu, she is a very beautiful person, and her every frown and smile is like a painting.

Everyone secretly sighed in their hearts that this couple was as perfect as a golden boy and a jade girl.

only--

What the hell is "like brother and sister"?

Aren’t Duke Qi and Princess Langya a couple?

However, the relationship between them is really very close, and they have a tacit understanding that outsiders cannot explain.

Not to mention anything else, just the faint smiles on their faces at the moment seemed as if they were printed from the same mold.

Wang Mian’s face was numb:…Of course it’s the same!

The peerless peony, who was raised by a little pervert, has the shadow of the little pervert in every word, action, frown and smile, whether intentional or not.

Wang Mian hadn't been able to see through Lou Yu's mask just now, but at this moment, she could read the couple's attitude towards their adopted sister Lou Lang from the face of her most familiar eldest daughter:

You’re welcome!

They are just superficial courtesy, not real relatives!

Got it!

These two are really in step with each other and they really know how to act!

Wang Mian silently took note of it. She said, how could this little pervert have such a deep "brother-sister" relationship with someone else?

"You are too polite, Princess. You are so noble, I dare not overstep my bounds!"

Lou Lang is young, but he is not ignorant.

Princess Langya can be polite, but she cannot take advantage of others.

The Duke of Anguo's Mansion is indeed not as good as it used to be, but the young lady from the Lou family still has her pride.

When facing royal ladies, she will also observe propriety.

The brother and sister "recognized each other", Lou Yu released enough "goodwill", and Lou Lang just felt satisfied.

She wanted to go back to her mother as soon as possible. She wanted to tell her mother: "Mother, my brother is very good. He is very friendly and loving to his brothers!"

Everyone walked around the greenhouse and was extremely interested in this exquisite and beautiful glass greenhouse.

Princess Ping'an, relying on her status as the eldest sister, asked Wang Heng with a smile, "Langya, how much does this cost? I also want to build one for my princess palace!"

Although the Princess of Yan, Princess Anyang, Princess Hengyang and other female relatives did not speak directly, there was a gleam in their eyes.

They want it too!

It's not just that this thing is really good, but if Princess Langya, a fake princess without royal blood, can have it, how can they, the real royal relatives, not have it?

They must not be outdone by Wang Jiu, a foreigner!

Wang Mian smiled: "Yes! That's it!"

Haha, the main reason why luxury goods are so popular is the desire to compare!

"And that glass corridor, I want to build one too!"

"Yes! Yes! Stepping on the water, the fish swim under your feet. It's so elegant and wonderful!"

Everyone expressed their desire to replicate the wonderful design of Princess Langya's Mansion.

Wang Heng, however, didn't feel offended: "Duplicate item? No!"

She is not afraid of being copied by others!

She hoped that her glass could bring in a lot of money from every powerful family.

Moreover, today’s house-warming party is just the first wave.

In half a month, she will have her coming-of-age banquet and will hold her second wave of sales show!

After preparing for so long and having received a military order from the Crown Prince, Wang Heng was determined to turn glass into the largest and most valuable luxury item in the capital!

Wang Heng felt inexplicably excited when she thought about making money and building a career, and she threw aside the topic of brothers and sisters.

Wang Mian: ...My dear, don’t commit suicide!
