C66 (2/2)

Pausing for a moment, Lu JinNian added, ”I haven't come back often these two days. Lock up the yard and you can arrange the time for yourself. Wenqiu will definitely know where Yan Ze lives.”

Yiran blushed and stomped her feet in embarrassment. ”Miss!”

Lu JinNian glanced at her, ”Why aren't you going?”

”Yes sir!”

Rubbing his forehead, Lu JinNian felt that his heart was broken. He neatly put on his men's clothes and slipped out onto the street. Sure enough, he found Kong Lian, Song An, and the others by a bustling city entrance.

Lu JinNian smiled, ”Brother Kong, Brother Song, Brother Ji, we haven't seen each other for a few days. How have you been?”

Song An was the first to greet her, ”Brother Chu, so it's you.”

Kong Lian seemed to have been scared of her last time. Seeing her, he was slightly afraid. Ji Shaohua, on the other hand, was obviously not in his best condition. He could only nod at her.

Lu JinNian didn't mind and asked curiously, ”Why aren't you seeing Brother Gu? Aren't the few of you on good terms with each other? ”

”Hey, just say yes,” Song An laughed. ”Weren't there a lot of things that happened recently? Uncle Gu is already old, so he had to think about how he could enter the Ministry of Rites and learn a few things so that he could slowly gain a foothold in the Ministry of Rites.”

In any case, we aren't very good at studying, and we definitely won't be able to pass the Imperial examinations. Even if we pass the examinations and get a poor ranking, we'll have to rely on relationships to get to know the public. Look at me, isn't it because of my relationship that I became Marquis Qi Yang?

Song An's words were magnanimous, but there was a hint of sadness in them. His father had died on the battlefield, and his brother had fought meritorious deeds. He was the only one who didn't hold a title. He ate well and dressed warmly, becoming a foppish playboy in Liang Jing City.

In fact, he knew better than anyone else in his heart. He couldn't compare to his brother, nor could he keep up with his father, and he had to take care of his mother in the place of the other two, so he could only use this as a way to find his own existence.

Lu JinNian pretended to be puzzled, ”Has something happened recently? ”I'm in the wild, and I don't have much intelligence about the situation. Brother Gu is busy at the Ministry of Rites. Is Brother Ji's worried expression all because of those things?”

Song An glanced at Ji Shaohua and mumbled, ”Nothing good.” He explained to Lu JinNian, ”It's not some secret that cannot be revealed. Before long, the news will spread throughout Liang Jing City, so it's fine to tell you in advance.”

”Yesterday, something was lost in Imperial Consort Wen's palace banquet. The personal servant of the Prince of Hun also died there. Furthermore, the person who killed was none other than Shen Yin Li.”

Lu JinNian stared with his eyes wide open, ”Brother Jiu? Are you for real? ”No way!”

”Don't believe me, a lot of people have witnessed it. Brother Chu, I know you are a fan of his, but the truth is the truth.” Song An pointed at Ji Shaohua, ”This has nothing to do with major events.”

Yesterday at the palace banquet, he saw his childhood sweetheart, and felt that ten thousand of them were not worthy of her, yet he did not want to give her up. Just look at him, he has to have a family background, look for her looks, find out what kind of woman he cannot find, and hang her on a tree.

Lu JinNian nodded seriously, ”That's right!”

Furthermore, what childhood sweetheart? Did she admit to it!?
