Chen Rong Xinyue looked curious and asked, "Which lady did you finally choose?"

Feng Long replied, "It is said that they have seen a young lady from the Xiling family's side branch. Although she is talented, her appearance is ordinary. Later, they inquired about the granddaughter of the current head of the Guifang family, but she is too young to get married. After choosing and choosing, the only one left is the legitimate daughter of the Fangfeng family - see, that is Fangfeng Yiying who came to our house to play with you before. She is beautiful, well-educated, and good at both literature and martial arts. She is an excellent archer and was favored by the lady. If you have no intention of choosing, then she will be the one nine out of ten."

Chen Rong Xinyue curled her lips: "She?! She is from a humble family, how can she be worthy of Brother Jing?"

Feng Long said, "You should marry a virtuous woman. She is good in all aspects, so it doesn't matter if her family background is a little poor. Besides, there were constant wars in the past, and people from various clans died or were injured. Now the population is dwindling, and there are even fewer outstanding young people. It is not easy to find a woman of the same age, good character and appearance, and preferably someone who is well-educated and capable of both literature and martial arts! Otherwise, I advise you to consider Jing!"

Chen Rong Xinyue put the bowl on the table and said, "Oh, brother! Please don't persuade me! I've already said that there is no possibility for me and Brother Jing." After that, she waved her hands, her eyes sparkling, and she said yearningly, "What I want to find is a domineering man who can make clouds and rain with a flip of his hand. I follow him and everyone respects me. It can't be like in Xuanyuan City, where anyone comes and says a few words to me, and I have to smile and accompany him no matter whether I am in a good mood or a bad mood."

Feng Long's face darkened, and he said with a little frustration: "It's my fault that I failed to protect my sister. I'm sorry for your hardship..."

Chen Rong Xinyue waved his hands quickly and said, "Oh! Brother, don't worry about it, it's all in the past! Besides, you were young at that time. Look, aren't we all fine now? If anyone wants to bully me, you will be the first one to whip him with a whip until his face is covered with blood!"

Feng Long smiled and said, "Of course! If anyone dares to bully my sister, I will be the first to disagree!"

Chen Rongxin smiled proudly, raised his cup and took a sip of the apricot drink.

While they were going back and forth, I calmed myself down and started thinking about how to stop Fangfeng Yiying from marrying Tushan Jing. If the timeline remains unchanged, the two of them never met until Tushan Jing got into trouble. So, if I just prevented Tushan Hou from killing them, they would never meet again? But if Tushan Jing was fine and then married Fangfeng Yiying as ordered, wouldn't I be making things easier for Fangfeng Yiying?

I thought about it over and over again, but I still have no clue. However, the most important thing right now seems to be to return to Tushan Mansion as soon as possible and keep a close eye on Tushan Hou, this key figure. I can't let my guard down just because he doesn't make any moves.

Chen Rong Xinyue noticed my silence and asked, "Lanxiang, what are you thinking about?"

I smiled faintly and replied, "Nothing, I was just wondering if Miss wanted to hear more stories from The Legend of Zhen Huan today. If so, where did we leave off yesterday?"

Chen Rong Xinyue clapped her hands: "That's right! You must listen to it! That's a must!"

Feng Long smiled and said, "Lanxiang, what new and interesting story do you have?"

I looked at him, watching the sunlight shining on his thick eyebrows. I curled my lips and said, "I guess you don't like to hear it. It's a story about women."

Feng Long said "Oh", picked up a piece of candied water chestnut and put it in his mouth without much interest, and said, "I still prefer to listen to war stories."

I thought that if I was pestered by Chen Rongxinyue later, I would not be able to get away for a while, so I asked: "Miss, I have two friends who also like to listen to stories. I haven't seen them this morning and night. Can you ask them to accompany me later and let me meet them by the way?"

Chen Rong Xinyue nodded and said, "Of course you can. When you finish breakfast, go and invite them over. It will be more lively with more people!"

After getting their permission, I finished my meal with peace of mind and asked someone to call Xiaowei and Xiaohui to my room.

Xiaowei wanted to hug me as soon as she saw me. I think she was traumatized by the time we separated at the Chishui River, and she felt uneasy when she was separated from me. Xiaohui, on the other hand, was still very quiet, talking to me in a gentle and measured way.

As I was talking, I suddenly remembered that Tu Shanjing gave me two brushes, which I don’t use normally. I might as well give one to Xiao Hui, as he also likes to write and draw.

So I took out a horse-hair brush from my bag. When Xiao Hui saw the brush, his eyes lit up and he looked at me with his eyes wide open.

I said seriously, "Xiao Hui, this pen is made of Xiao Hong's bristles. The young master gave me two of them. I don't usually use them, so I'll give you one. You can use it to write and draw, and it will also be convenient for you to help me record some stories."

Xiao Hui took it with both hands, stroking the pen tube, and said in a deep voice: "Xiao Hui thanks the young lady for the reward. I will live up to the young lady's intention of giving it to me, and follow Xiao Hong's love for her master, and concentrate on practicing calligraphy and painting."

Xiao Wei chewed the candied golden dates I brought her and said with a smile, "Xiao Hui has been very diligent these past few days and has made up for all the things he had heard before but had not had time to write down. Miss, please stamp it later. When Brother Ruiyang comes back, I will ask him to send it to Su Zhi Zhai and print it out to sell."

I tapped her forehead and asked, "Have you learned how to do business, too?"

Xiao Wei replied: "Of course not! If you hang around Master Qingqiu every day, you will learn something!"

I patted her head and told her, "Xiao Wei is really smart! When you meet Miss Chen Rong later, you should watch more and talk less. The young master and his family are not at home for a while, so I brought you here because I was worried about you being here by yourself. You must remember to be careful."

Xiao Wei blinked and said obediently: "Girl, I know."

I asked Xiao Hui again: "Where is your sister Senying?"

Xiao Hui scratched his head and replied, "Miss Senying said she had a headache since she came back in the morning. She didn't even have breakfast and said she wanted to take a nap in her room."

I nodded and sighed, "The young master is not in the mansion, so it's rare for her to have some free time. Let her rest. I'll have someone send some delicious food over later. You guys get ready and follow me now. I'm afraid Miss Chen Rong will be anxious waiting for her."

Xiao Wei and Xiao Hui put on their outer robes and followed me all the way to the outside of Chen Rong Xinyue's room. In the courtyard, a maid was holding a small mahogany box, and another maid was about to open it. When she saw us coming, she bowed and said, "Greetings to Miss Lanxiang."

I saw that she was one of the maids who served Chen Rong Xinyue personally, so I returned the greeting and said with a smile, "Miss, is the young lady in the room? I'm here to tell you a story."

She nodded and said, "Yes, please wait a moment, I will inform you right away."

After saying that, she opened the box and looked inside, then walked slowly towards the door.

"Miss, Miss Lanxiang and the others have arrived."

"Got it, come in. By the way, what did Fangfeng Yiying send over again?"

"To answer the young lady, this time it's a pair of seawater pearl earrings."
