Today happens to be the morning court held once every seven days. Ever since the death of the late emperor and the Duke of Zhenguo took over power, he changed the morning court from daily to once every seven days, saying that he wanted to accompany his wife and not waste precious time on these trivial matters.

After the court was dismissed, Lu Shaoning happened to see Chu Chengwu, so he took the initiative to greet him: "Second Brother Chu."

"Aning."

Chu Chengwu felt close to Lu Shaoning when he saw him, so he stepped forward and put his arm around his neck: "Anything going on? Let's go have a drink together?"

Although Lu Shaoning was not used to it, he had his own thoughts and did not refuse. Instead, he smiled and agreed: "Okay."

"I didn't drink well yesterday, so I have to drink to my heart's content today!"

"I am willing to die to accompany you."

Lu Shaoning nodded slightly.

They walked out of the palace together. Lu Shaoning got into his own carriage and changed out of his official uniform. There were casual clothes prepared in the carriage.

"Brother Chu, don't you want to change your clothes?"

Chu Chengwu shook his head: "I came here on horseback, and I have no place to put my clothes."

"If you don't mind, Brother Chu, I have a spare one here."

Chu Chengwu just laughed: "I don't mind it, but I can't wear your robe."

Lu Shaoning is a full head shorter than Chu Chengwu, not to mention the huge difference in their stature and weight.

"fine."

Chu Chengwu lowered his voice and said, "To be honest, I still feel uneasy when I think of what happened yesterday. I didn't sleep well all night. At least I'm not uneasy when I wear armor. Otherwise, I'm really afraid that one day another woman will come and pounce on me and ask for responsibility!"

Lu Shaoning was silent for a moment, then he clenched his fist and said indignantly: "We shouldn't have let Liu go so easily yesterday!"

"Thirty strokes of the cane cost her half her life. I don't think she will dare to do it again."

Although he felt very disgusted, Chu Chengwu did not kill them all.

While talking.

The carriage stopped at the door of a tavern.

"Boss, bring me some appetizers and a pot of good wine!"

"okay!"

The waiter entertained the two people attentively: "Sir, please wait a moment, the food and wine will be here soon."

Lu Shaoning couldn't hold his liquor, so he mostly ate in silence. Chu Chengwu drank a pot and a half by himself, but he didn't mind.

"Second Brother Chu."

Seeing that the wine was almost finished, Lu Shaoning filled Chu Chengwu's glass again and asked inconspicuously: "I heard that the princess dismissed many of her lovers a few days ago. I wonder if the princess... the princess?!"

As soon as the last two words fell, Lu Shaoning was so scared that he stood up.

"I knew you had bad intentions!"

Chu Chengwu understood everything and smiled ambiguously: "Do you like my sister?"

"No...no."

Lu Shaoning's face flushed and he denied it in a low voice.

Anyone can hear the insincerity in his words.

"Stop pretending!"

Chu Chengwu sighed: "As a man, how can I not know your little thoughts?"

There is no man in the world who doesn't want to be his brother-in-law.

"Chu Er...Brother Chu, please stop talking."

"Now you've become Brother Chu again?"

Chu Chengwu snorted coldly: "From the moment you called me Second Brother Chu, I knew what you were thinking!"

"Brother Chu, please stop talking."

Lu Shaoning's fair face almost turned red, and he stammered, "Princess, Princess..."

"What are you afraid of?"

Chu Chengwu also stood up, patted his shoulder and said, "I know you scholars are shy, but this is not in front of my sister, what are you afraid of?"

Then he said, "Hurry up and sit down."

Lu Shaoning secretly glanced behind Chu Chengwu, his face became redder, he gritted his teeth and said, "Brother Chu, the princess..."

"I already told you my sister isn't here, there's no need for you to be so scared!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Chu Chengwu felt a pain in his ears.

"Chu Chengwu!"

Chu Chengwu tilted his head and saw his beloved sister with an angry face.

"It's already this late, and you still have the time to drink?"

Feeling Lu Shaoning's gaze, Jiang Chutang glared at him: "What are you looking at? Haven't you ever seen someone lose their temper?"

"The princess is beautiful!"

Lu Shaoning blushed as he stole a glance at Jiang Chutang and whispered, "The princess is also very beautiful when she loses her temper."

"..."

Jiang Chutang held his breath, neither up nor down.

"But I don't want the princess to lose her temper all the time. Anger is harmful to her health."

Lu Shaoning is good-looking and speaks gently, which makes people easily like him.

But when he thought of what Lu Shaoning had done, Jiang Chutang declined the offer.

"If there's anything, we can sit down and have a good discussion, right?"

Seeing that Lu Shaoning actually started lecturing his own sister, Chu Chengwu quickly gave Lu Shaoning a look, signaling him to stop talking, "Do you still want to marry into the princess's mansion?"

"That's how I get along with my sister!"

Chu Chengwu was too tall, and was afraid that his sister would be too tired to keep her hands lifted. He even bent down and said seriously, "I just like my sister pulling my ears!"

"Who likes to pull your ears?"

Jiang Chutang let go of his hand, crossed his arms, and asked, "Tell me, what good things did you do yesterday?"

"I……"

Chu Chengwu thought hard but couldn't come up with an answer. He shook his head and said, "I don't know."

Jiang Chutang is so emo. Does that mean he doesn’t take what happened yesterday to heart at all?

"But Tangtang!"

Chu Chengwu lowered his head and complained with a wronged look on his face: "I was bullied."

"Being bullied?"

Jiang Chutang didn't believe it, raised his eyebrows and asked, "Are you sure you're not trying to turn the tables?"

"Is the second brother that kind of person?"

Chu Chengwu originally felt that being molested by an old woman in her forties or fifties was quite embarrassing, but in order to gain sympathy, he did everything he could.

He covered his face and cried loudly in grievance: "My second brother is not clean anymore."

"?"

Jiang Chutang didn't quite understand. Why... why was it not clean?

Lu Shaoning looked around and found that they were the only table of customers in the restaurant, so he explained the reason in a low voice.

Jiang Chutang's expression suddenly became indescribable.

Suddenly I don’t know what to say.

It seems like no one is wrong, and yet it seems like everyone is wrong.

It's even hard to say who was hurt more.

"How could you believe the fortune teller's lies?"

Jiang Chutang patted his shoulder to comfort him and said unhappily, "How many truths can those people tell?"

"Didn't my second brother want to find you a sister-in-law to take care of you?"

The tough guy acted like a spoiled child with a wronged look on his face: "She will definitely not ruin your clothes by washing them."

"First of all, I'm an adult and I don't need anyone to take care of me."

"Secondly, you should marry a wife only because you love her and want to spend your life with her, not to do my laundry!"

Jiang Chutang discovered that Tie Hanhan was really destined to be alone!
