Li Mofu's train of thought was interrupted. He stood up and muttered, "Why did you ask for soup? It's like you want to stew me."

His hair was tied up and unwashed. If he had washed it, it wouldn't have dried.

After drying himself, Li Mofu quickly put on his clothes. As soon as he left the screen, Guozi immediately put a green cloak on him.

"Go back to your room and rest, sir." Guozi said, holding up the lantern.

"Ah."

The next day, Lu Mingyun went to find Zhao Xu first, and then took Zhao Xu's carriage to the palace.

Many people were invited to the flower-viewing banquet at the palace, and a row of carriages lined up on the road in front of the gate.

Lu Mingyun and Zhao Xu were not in a hurry. They lined up slowly and walked over. They got off the car in front of the door, handed in the invitation, and followed the servants to the reception hall designated by the host.

Along the way, the two of them talked and laughed and didn't feel that they were wasting time.

When we arrived at the reception hall, we saw that there were no walls or windows on both sides of the hall, only low railings, which made it better for enjoying the flowers.

Outside are several peach trees in full bloom, and azaleas, orchids, camellias, etc. are placed on the small stage outside the hall.

The reception hall is divided into two parts, separated by a hazy gauze screen, but it is not completely separated, leaving some gaps.

Lu Mingyun and Zhao Xu found Zuo Zheng, and the three of them sat down and started chatting. They mostly talked about their childhood and had no interest in this flower viewing banquet.

After lunch, music started and it was time for everyone to walk around and have fun.

Because of Li Mofu's incident, Lu Mingyun's interest in getting married decreased again and again, so he still sat in his seat without moving.

Zhao Xu and Zuo Zheng symbolically left their seats to look at the flowers.

Gradually, there were only a few people left in the reception hall, and most of them went to the yard to take a few steps to let the girls behind the curtain next door see them.

Lu Mingyun took a sip of tea boredly, and slowly sat down to become more comfortable. He put his left foot on the horizontal bar of the chair, leaned to the left, supported his chin with his left hand, and stretched his right foot forward.

Just as he was staring blankly at the people walking outside, a sound came from the gauze curtain behind him.

"Mr. Lu, why don't you go out to appreciate the flowers? Are you not interested in these flowers?" Wang Ruiyan asked softly while standing in front of the white gauze screen.

Lu Mingyun was stunned when he heard the voice, then he sat up straight and shook his head. He thought for a while before speaking, "It's not that I don't care about flowers, but things are messy at home, and I don't want to cause trouble for others."

"What if Hua is not afraid of implicating the young master?" Wang Ruiyan asked again.

If he had heard this a few months earlier, Lu Mingyun would probably have agreed readily, and might even have thought that this woman was sensible, brave and resourceful.

But it's different now.

Even if a woman now said that she didn't mind him having a concubine, didn't mind him having a "male wife", or didn't mind him having a illegitimate child, he wouldn't dare agree.

They can regret it after they marry in, but if Li Mofu dies, he can't regret it.

Let’s talk about getting married... later.

Lu Mingyun frowned, smiled, and still refused. "Words can come out of your mouth, but accidents can happen suddenly. Life is so long, who can guarantee the future?"

A faint sigh could be heard from the woman behind the screen. "Young Master, you're right. Even vows of love and oaths cannot be trusted, so what are a few words spoken casually?"

After saying that, Wang Ruiyan left.

Only after hearing the footsteps behind him leaving did Lu Mingyun slowly relax. He narrowed his eyes and thought a lot.

Most of them are things with no certainty and no results, but they are nightmares that haunt Lu Mingyun and cannot be shaken off.

The engagement meeting between the hero and heroine has become a mess, and the Wu'an Marquis Mansion over there has also become a mess.

“There’s a ghost!!”

"There really is a ghost! Let me out!!"

"Wuwuwuwu, you lowly slaves! How dare you imprison your master! Let me out now!"

Lin was locked in the house and screaming. Several strong women were guarding outside, and the gate of the courtyard was closed tightly.
