Now that you're reborn, who would still keep a mistress for their scumbag husband?

"Who is it?" Lu Changting was very interested. After all, even Dou Miaojin said that he would be a hero.

After resting for noon, the two went to the Main Hall to worship Buddha and ask for divination.

The young girl in love naturally prayed for marriage. The lots for both of them were very good. The monk who interpreted the lots was very witty and could even make the dead come alive. He coaxed the two of them into believing that they would marry their ideal husbands tomorrow.

"Let's go. I heard that Meishan in the back garden is very beautiful. Let's go and take a look together." Dou Miaojin suggested.

"The plum blossoms haven't bloomed yet. Isn't it too early to go now?"

Lu Changting said whatever she wanted to say, but since she was already out, she naturally went to the farthest place. She saw Dou Miaojin's maid winking at her. Lu Changting guessed something and said angrily, "Is my brother here? You are not using me as a cover to see my brother, are you?"

Dou Miaojin blushed, "You really are being taken for granted. You'll know who I'm doing this for in a moment."

She beckoned the maid to come over, "Jixiang, come on, what do you want to tell me?"

Jixiang's heart was stirred, and he came over with a blushing face. Just as he was about to speak, Lu Changting pushed him away, "Oh, you two mischievous master and servant, I don't want to listen to any nonsense you say, I won't go."

In the end, Dou Miaojin pulled and tugged at Lu Changting, and the two of them took a shortcut to Meishan in the back garden.

This place is very secluded, and crowds only gather here during the plum blossom viewing season in winter.

At this time, two young men stood side by side in the Meixin Pavilion. Both of them had outstanding looks. One had bold eyebrows and was arrogant and unruly, while the other was elegant and reserved with a refined temperament. Both were rare handsome men.

"This time, you don't have to go with me. I'll go by myself. You stay behind. I'll feel more at ease with you at the front." Guo Xiao is as his name suggests, brave and manic. Only when facing this person can he suppress the wildness in his character.

Xu Chen stood with his hands behind his back, looked up at him, and said calmly, "I know!"

"What do you know now?" Guo Xiao couldn't stand the tone of his voice. He turned around and grabbed his collar, gritting his teeth, "You always say you know this and that. What do you know? Tell me about it."

Xu Chen held his wrist, staring at him without avoiding or giving way, his Adam's apple rolling, but he finally avoided his gaze, his voice calm and almost cruel, "Ah Xiao, you are different from me, look at any military family that doesn't have three wives and four concubines, all they want is to have children..."

His mouth suddenly closed, and Guo Xiao quickly let go of his hand. He saw two women, followed by maids, coming towards him with their skirts lifted.

The two of them looked away.

Lu Changting looked at the two handsome men with very different temperaments and was stunned for a moment.

Dou Miaojin had met Guo Xiao in her previous life. He was an outstanding general under Lu Changyuan. He followed Lu Changyuan to defeat the Southern Chen Dynasty and was granted a title of nobility.

It is rumored that he doted on his wife very much and never took a concubine even though his wife was unable to give birth to children.

Dou Miaojin felt that such a man was much better than Liu Jing.

She nudged Lu Changting with her elbow and tapped Guo Xiao with her chin to hint her. Lu Changting glanced at Guo Xiao quickly, and when she met his deep and bright eyes, her face turned red.

My heart was beating so fast that it seemed like it was going to jump out of my chest.

A light sneer was heard, followed by a very frivolous but seductive voice, "Ladies, have you come here to see us? What advice do you have for us?"

Xu Chen smiled helplessly, "Ah Xiao, don't talk nonsense."

Guo Xiao instantly became irritable, and his light-colored thin lips curled up, very ruthlessly, "What nonsense did I say? I just asked, are you here to see the two of us? Huh?"

The ending tone was like a hook, making people feel uneasy. Lu Changting felt restless all over. She hurriedly pulled Dou Miaojin's sleeve and said, "Sister-in-law, let's go back!"

She deliberately called out "sister-in-law".

Dou Miaojin patted her hand lightly and took a step forward instead of retreating. "General Guo, do you know who we are?"

Guo Xiao was impatient and said nonchalantly, "Oh, who it is has nothing to do with me. I only look at people's faces. If you are good-looking, I will take a closer look. I don't care who you are!"

Lu Changting's face suddenly turned red, and her ears were burning red. She bit her lips and couldn't help thinking, he has been looking at me!

"We are from the Duke Dingguo's Mansion. My sister-in-law is the eldest daughter of the Duke Dingguo's Mansion. How can you treat her frivolously?" Dou Miaojin deliberately revealed Lu Changting's identity.

Guo Xiao was about to get angry when Xu Chen bowed and said, "It turns out to be Miss Lu and Madam Lu. I am so sorry!"

Xu Chen glanced at Guo Xiao calmly, and Guo Xiao could no longer suppress his anger. "Why, do you like me? Do you want to sleep with me?"

Lu Changting felt ashamed and angry as if her thoughts were exposed. Her heart trembled, "You... are obscene!"

"Am I vulgar now? This girl has never seen anything vulgar. Do you want me to teach you what is truly vulgar?" Guo Xiao lost his patience, took two steps forward, and pretended to do something.

Xu Chen hurriedly stepped forward and grabbed Guo Xiao's shoulders, and only then did Guo Xiao's thorns subside a little.

Lu Changting was so frightened that she grabbed Dou Miaojin's hand and ran away.

"What do you mean? Believe it or not, I can throw you down!" Guo Xiao was so angry that he turned around and brushed away his hand.

Xu Chen held his wrist and said, "Ah Xiao, you will eventually get married. Marrying the daughter of the Lu family will do you a lot of good."

Guo Xiao closed his eyes. "Are you so eager for me to get married? Would you be willing to watch me perform the Zhougong ritual with those women and enjoy the happiness of family ties?"

Xu Chen sighed, which dissipated in the wind. "Ah Xiao, this is not only for your mother, but also for me. If you don't marry, I'm afraid there will be no place for me in this capital, or even in Northern Qi."

Guo Xiao thought that his mother might have noticed something, and even began to fear that someone might test Xu Chen in various ways, and had the intention to kill him. He raised his hand and stroked the side of Xu Chen's face, his hand trembling for a moment, and finally compromised, "You are not allowed to be angry, and you are not allowed to... say you want to leave again."

On the carriage back home, Lu Changting felt like a lost soul. Her eyes could not focus and her thoughts were still on Meishan Mountain behind Daxiangguo Temple. That evil, rude and foul-mouthed man occupied her mind and could not be driven away.

"What are you thinking about? Are you still thinking about that person?" Dou Miaojin waved her hands in front of her eyes.

Lu Changting uttered an "Ah", then came back to her senses, her cheeks flushed, "What are you doing?"

"His name is Guo Xiao, and he is a fierce general under your brother. His family background is a little lower than that of the Duke Dingguo Mansion, but his ancestor was also a marquis. Did you know Guo Ying, the Marquis of Wuding? He is Guo Ying's grandson. With his ability, he will definitely be made a marquis in the future."

Lu Changting didn't ask her how she knew that. She just nodded shyly with a look of trust.

Shuangxi was listening nearby and felt something was wrong, so he asked, "Second Miss Dou, who is that person next to General Guo? Why does he look so close to General Guo?"

Dou Miaojin didn't take it seriously. "I think he must be General Guo's lieutenant general or a good friend. They should be discussing business. Hey, Shuangxi, you are not attracted to him, are you?"

"Why does Second Miss Dou tease me?" Shuangxi became angry and embarrassed.

Dou Miaojin tugged at Lu Changting's sleeve and said, "What do you say? If you are willing, I will go and tell your brother. You have also seen that compared with the young master of the Liu family, who is better, I don't need to tell you, right?"

Lu Changting nodded shyly, said "hmm" softly, and her face was full of a sweet smile.
