"Oh, that's how it is……"

A smile appeared on Lu Wangyou's lips, and then silence fell between the two of them again.

"Brother Lu, there's something I've always been curious about. Don't you really hate the Yun royal family? Then why did you accept their reward and become a Duke?"

"Well...I..."

As the other person stammered, her cheeks unconsciously flushed. The teardrop mole under the corner of her eye looked even more charming against the blush.

"Hey, Brother Lu, I was just asking casually, don't take it too seriously!"

Seeing the other party like this, Bai Yue quickly waved her hand.

"Actually, I fell in love with a girl, and I wanted to appear less ordinary in her eyes..."

After taking a deep breath, Lu Wangyou confided the secret that had been hidden in his heart to the other party.

"Oh? Since there's a girl who has caught Brother Lu's eye, tell me quickly, which family is she from? I've never seen her before!"

"..."

The other person just looked at her quietly, his deep eyes seemed to suck people in, but Bai Yue was completely unaware of this and still looked back at him with a smile.

"Actually, that girl..."

Lu Wangyou's confession had just begun when he was abruptly interrupted by the noise of children.

"You lowly people, are you so bold? Who gave you the courage to run wild in our noble territory?"

A little boy in gorgeous clothes pointed at the children in the Salesian home and cursed them.

"Yes, the teacher brought us here. We are not barging in here on our own!"

Just as the children in the orphanage were murmuring timidly, Bajin stepped forward and started shouting at them.

"You say this is your territory, so it's your territory? There's no name of your ancestors carved on the ground!"

"How dare you! Who allowed you to look me in the eye? My father is the renowned Marquis of Zhaoping. You have to kneel down to speak to me, understand?"

"Pfft, pfft, don't try that! Teacher Bai told us that the people are more important than the ruler, and that we are all equal. Why should I kneel just because you tell me to?"

Bajin stuck out his neck, looking unconvinced.

"What? Who is this arrogant scholar who doesn't know his place and doesn't know how to do things? Could he be some country bumpkin who can only read a few words?"

"Yes, yes, yes, our teachers are all top scholars and third place winners in the Wenqu Kingdom. How can you, the fake ones who are just filling in the numbers, compare to them!"

The little rascals behind the boy in fancy clothes, who also had their noses in the air, started shouting in unison.

"Well, even though I'm not the top scholar on the imperial examination, I'm not as useless as you say, am I?"

As soon as Bai Yue finished speaking, all the little kids in the orphanage gathered around her.

"Teacher Bai, you're finally here! That's great!"

"Oh? You're the Teacher Bai they were talking about? Wow, you're such a short-sighted woman! I was wondering why these guys were so ignorant of the rules. It turns out they're the work of someone like you!"

"Someone like me? May I ask, young marquis, what kind of person am I?"

Bai Yue looked at the arrogant little guy opposite and couldn't help laughing.

"Of course she's that unruly country girl who's as rude as a wild onion in the field!"

"Oh, young marquis, you have a very unique vision. You can even see this?"

Bai Yue looked at the other person, pretending to be surprised.

"Of course I need to say that. Look at the clothes you're wearing. Every young lady from a respectable family wears gorgeous clothes and flowing skirts. And look at you, you look like a country girl who just jumped out of the fields!"

A little noble girl interrupted in a shrill voice.

"Also, your behavior is like that of a wild monkey that has escaped from the mountains. You exude an uneducated and wild spirit all over your body!"

The other noble children also joined in the fun.

"You guys only look at people's appearance? I'm going to ask, which master taught you this kind of vision?"

Bai Yue blinked and teased the group of little noble kids with a smile.

"Didn't I just tell you that you have to kneel down properly when chatting with me! You—"

The little boy suddenly felt his collar tighten and his whole body was lifted up by a force.

"Zheng Jiahao, you little bastard, are you tired of living? Who gave you the guts to talk to our Fairy Lady like that?"

"Huh? Brother Qianyu, why are you here? You just called her a fairy? Could it be that your fat has covered your eyes and you can't see clearly what is beautiful or ugly?"

"Hey, you little brat, you've even started talking back? Listen carefully, this is the honorable Princess Cheng!"

Shen Qianyu knocked the other person on the head without any hesitation.

"Brother Qianyu, you are not kidding me, are you? This woman... can't be your hidden lover..."

As soon as he said this, he was slapped on the head again. Then Wu Qiming put his hands on his hips and said with a depressed look on his face.

"Hey, hey, hey, you little brat, if you want to see your cousin off to his grave sooner, then keep talking nonsense! Then His Royal Highness Prince Cheng will stew you and your cousin together!"

"Brother Qiming? Why are you here too? Could it be that this sister is really the legendary Princess Cheng?"

When Zheng Jiahao heard Wu Qiming's words, his voice couldn't help but tremble.

"Of course! It's not just the two of us, your brother Lingyun is also here. Do you want me to drag him over right away and give you an on-site verification?"

As soon as he finished speaking, the little rascals who had been as arrogant as bullies just now fell to their knees, each pulling their ears and crying to apologize.

"Your Highness, please be magnanimous and don't let Prince Cheng throw us into the Ministry of Justice prison!"

"Wow, wow, wow, wow! I have a 30-year-old mother at home and a one-year-old puppy waiting for me to take care of. If they get caught, how will they survive?"

"Why don't you just take my dad with you, so that we can keep each other company in there, woooo!"

Listening to these filial sons talking nonsense seriously, Bai Yue suppressed his laughter and asked in a serious manner.

"Tell me, what happened just now? Why did you pick a fight with these kids in my family?"

"That piece of vacant land is clearly our exclusive territory. We asked them to move, but they refused. They're clearly looking for trouble!"

Zheng Jiahao wiped his tears and complained to Bai Yue in a wronged manner.

"But we were the ones who arrived first, why should we give it to you as soon as you arrive?"

The children behind Bai Yue started chattering in dissatisfaction like little firecrackers.
