"Why are you here?" Yu Ningyao asked, somewhat surprised to see him.
“That Golden Jade Soup will take a while to cook. Since you have it ready, I can eat it directly without waiting.” Lu Lingguang showed no hesitation and looked at the maid beside him.
"Sister Suxin, please serve me a bowl of Golden Jade Soup."
Yu Ningyao was speechless: "You seem quite adept at ordering around my servants."
“We’re like family. By the way, why did you go to Yunxiao Tower to see Si…” Lu Lingguang hadn’t finished speaking when Yu Ningyao covered his mouth.
"Shut up, keep your voice down." Yu Ningyao glared at him.
She was terrified that her family would find out.
The calluses on her hand brushed against Lu Lingguang's lips, causing his Adam's apple to bob involuntarily.
"Are you doing something shady, which is why you're doing it so secretly and don't dare let your aunt and uncle know?" Lu Lingguang stared intently at her.
He came here specifically today.
It wasn't about the Golden Jade Soup at all, but about her meeting with the Fourth Prince alone.
Today he met Wei Jing, the commander of the Hidden Scale Guard, who deliberately revealed the matter in front of everyone.
Everyone asked him why Yu Ningyao wanted to see the Fourth Prince.
He couldn't answer.
He felt a little disappointed.
They had a great relationship when they were little, so why doesn't she tell him such a big thing now that they've grown up and learned to avoid suspicion?
In front of so many people, he could only make up a reason: "It must be that the Fourth Prince went to Yunxiao Tower for dinner, and the young lady bumped into him and had no choice but to invite him to dinner. After all, she is the owner of Yunxiao Tower, so it's normal for her to entertain distinguished guests."
This reason might fool others, but it couldn't fool himself.
So he followed the Yu family as they delivered persimmons.
"Don't talk nonsense. What shameful things? He just went to Yunxiaolou for dinner, and because I thought he was of high status, I was worried that the waiters wouldn't serve him well, so I personally went to entertain him. What's the problem?" Yu Ningyao said, her words both unreasonable and assertive.
Lu Lingguang didn't believe her.
He exposed Yu Ningyao: "If it's because of this, why did you cover my mouth and not let me say it? You're clearly afraid that my uncle and aunt will find out."
Yu Ningyao: ...
Careless.
How come Lu Lingguang is so perceptive at this moment?
Seeing that she couldn't speak, Lu Lingguang frowned: "You weren't fooled by him, were you?"
Yu Ningyao didn't refute, and Lu Lingguang immediately became anxious.
"Young lady, don't be foolish. The royal family is not easy to deal with. If you listen to that person's slander and secretly exchange gifts with him, you will be the one who suffers in the end."
"If you want to be like Uncle Yu and Aunt Shen, a couple who are devoted to each other for life, that person definitely can't do it. You'll regret it."
"You'll be surrounded by a bunch of women in your backyard by then, it'll drive you crazy."
Yu Ningyao grabbed a persimmon from the table and threw it at him.
"What nonsense are you talking about? I have nothing to do with him, nothing at all. If you keep talking nonsense, believe me, I'll beat you up."
That's what she said, but she was still a little guilty.
Lu Lingguang was wrong; she did indeed try to have a private affair with Pei Wuji.
Although she was the one who brought it up.
Seeing her so determined, and not at all like she had any feelings for Pei Wuji, Lu Lingguang felt a sense of relief for some reason.
His voice softened slightly: "You should hurry up and finalize the marriage. Wei Jing has already spread the word about your private meeting with the Fourth Prince today."
He recounted his chance encounter with Wei Jing that day.
"What?" Yu Ningyao didn't expect Wei Jing to be such a blabbermouth.
"Shouldn't the Hidden Scale Guards be the most discreet? How can he be spouting such nonsense?"
"Who knows?" Lu Lingguang took the golden jade soup that Su Xin handed him and happily began to eat it.
He inherited his grandfather's love for sweets.
In no time, he finished a large bowl.
After he finished eating two large bowls, Yu Ningyao still didn't say anything, so he couldn't help but look up at her.
"What are you thinking? Don't you know who to get engaged to to shut up those who are spreading rumors?"
"Why should I rush into marriage because of this baseless rumor?" Yu Ningyao glared at him, annoyed.
Lu Lingguang wholeheartedly agreed with this statement.
"That's true. If you end up with a bad husband, like your second uncle, you'll be in big trouble."
For a woman, getting married is like being reborn.
If you encounter bad people, your entire life will be ruined.
Yu Ningyao looked at him speechlessly: "Are you stupid? If we met someone like my second uncle, do you think I would hit him, or he would hit me?"
Lu Lingguang nodded emphatically: "You're right. It's good that you didn't hit him. But don't tell anyone that, or you'll never be able to get married again."
"Lu! Ling! Guang!" Yu Ningyao delivered a powerful blow.
"Stop worrying about my marriage. Don't even mention me, you're already sixteen, why aren't you engaged yet?"
“What’s the rush? My grandfather said I can wait until I come of age to get married, there’s no hurry.” Lu Lingguang said confidently.
"Don't change the subject. I'm asking you, what if rumors spread later that you and the Fourth Prince have a romantic relationship? How will you resolve that?"
"What's so difficult about that? If they don't understand what it means to be careful with their words and actions, I also know a little bit about martial arts." Yu Ningyao rubbed her wrist.
Lu Lingguang immediately understood what she meant.
"Don't worry, little auntie. If anyone dares to talk nonsense outside, I'll be the first to knock their teeth out for you."
After saying that, he made a punching motion in mid-air.
Yu Ningyao patted his shoulder: "That's right, well done. My reputation depends entirely on you. But remember to be careful when you hit someone, or you'll end up paying too much in damages."
"Don't worry, I understand. We've fought together for so many years, you can trust me to handle things," Lu Lingguang assured him, patting his chest.
The two argued for a while.
Lu Lingguang packed a large amount of delicious food from the Yu family and returned to the General's Mansion.
After he left, Yu Kangjing looked at his wife with deep concern.
"Madam, Yaoyao and Lingguang are both grown up now. Shouldn't they avoid suspicion? Isn't it inappropriate for them to meet alone like this?"
“What’s wrong with that? The maid is still watching from the side.” Shen Jinzhu held a rattle drum and teased her grandson Yu Junrui.
"Lingguang is still a child who hasn't figured things out yet. There's no need to worry too much. When the old general and the old lady came to visit, didn't you tacitly agree to the marriage of the two children?"
