Seeing his strange expression, Wen Yuanshu said, "Just keep it. This is an adult matter and has nothing to do with you, a child."

Lu Chengyuan nodded: "If you don't want to use it, just save it for now. When you need money, you can take it out and exchange it for silver. Anyway, as a princess, she wouldn't be embarrassed to take out anything that isn't valuable, would she?"

He had already figured out how the Princess Consort of Wei was being schemed against.

Wen Xi twitched the corner of his mouth, recalling the box full of silver that Wen Yuanshu had given him a few days ago.

He probably won't lack money.

In the past, Lu Chengyuan and Wen Yuanshu ate dinner alone, but today, with Wen Xi coming over, it finally felt a bit like home.

When those two children grow up, I'm afraid the Lu family's dinner table will be as lively as the Marquis's mansion.

"By the way, where did your brothers take you today?" Wen Yuanshu asked curiously.

“I just visited a few gardens in the capital and made some new friends,” Wen Xi said, but her brows furrowed. “But Mother, I always feel that something is wrong with Third Brother.”

"What's wrong?"

Wen Xi frowned and remained silent for a while before saying, "We went to the garden to listen to opera today, and we noticed that Third Brother seemed to be quite familiar with a female opera singer. The two of them even..."

His cheeks inexplicably turned red.

Lu Chengyuan continued, "Exchanging glances? Getting handsy?"

"...It wouldn't warrant physical violence."

Wen Chengyi is quite honest.

Upon hearing this, Lu Chengyuan and Wen Yuanshu exchanged a glance.

“Your third brother is not young anymore,” Lu Chengyuan said. “When I was his age, I was already discussing getting engaged with your mother.”

There was even a hint of pride in his words.

Wen Yuanshu twitched the corner of her mouth.

There's no sense of order.

Wen Xi's face showed a hint of curiosity.

I never expected that Wen Yuanshu and Lu Chengyuan would get engaged so early.

wrong.

They were engaged.

After all, Wen Yuanshu eventually married into the Pei family.

Lu Chengyuan glanced at him, coughed, and said, "Don't ask what you shouldn't ask!"

He really didn't want to think back to those days.

Wen Xi had no choice but to suppress his emotions and obediently lower his head to eat.

Wen Yuanshu looked at Wen Xi, then at Lu Chengyuan: "Should we tell our sister-in-law about this?"

Lu Chengyuan thought for a moment, then looked at Wen Xi: "Is your third brother close to that girl?"

Wen Xi nodded, then shook his head: "I wouldn't say it was closeness, it was a bit strange. The girl seemed to really want to get close to Third Brother, but Third Brother... he could have avoided going there, but he still took us there. After we got there, he seemed to be avoiding the girl."

Hearing Wen Xi's words, Lu Chengyuan couldn't help but twitch his lips: "This kid is really..."

He had also been through the same age as Wen Chengyi, but Lu Chengyuan was always straightforward. He would stick to Wen Yuanshu as soon as he saw her, unlike Wen Chengyi who was so awkward.

“Let’s tell her,” Lu Chengyuan said. “That kid has already taken a liking to her, so we need to know what kind of person she is. If she’s a good one, we should make plans as soon as possible.”

Staying in the park is not a long-term solution; we should get them out as soon as possible.

Wen Yuanshu nodded, planning to go back in a couple of days.

"You're always talking about your third brother, Xi'er, what about you?" Wen Yuanshu looked at him. "Do you have a girl you like?"

Wen Xi blinked: "No."

Hearing this, Lu Chengyuan clicked his tongue twice and said, "When I was your age, I was already completely infatuated with your mother."

Wen Xi twitched the corner of her mouth.

Who has captivated whom so completely?

If what Lu Chengyuan said were true, he wouldn't be sitting here.

Wen Yuanshu even stepped on his foot: "Can't you say something reliable?"

Lu Chengyuan smiled without even raising an eyebrow.

Wen Xi was quite shocked after eating this meal.

Back when they were at the Marquis's residence, although they ate together, Wen Xi always sat at the children's table. Today's meal, however, surprised Wen Xi quite a bit.
