Tang Xiuyan held his breath in his heart and had nowhere to go. He suddenly turned his head and looked at Lu Jiuqing: "Don't your parents know you are coming back today?"

Lu Jiuqing sneered: "I am just a concubine, and I have never been favored. Don't you know?"

Tang Xiuyan was stunned for a moment, then frowned: "But it's different from the past."

Lu Jiuqing raised his eyebrows and smiled: "It is indeed different for a poor scholar to become a top scholar. But no matter what, they still look down on you."

Lu Jiuqing's words were prickly, specifically targeting Tang Xiuyan's sore spot.

Tang Xiuyan had low self-esteem to the core. He hated people mentioning his miserable past and jumped every time he mentioned it.

"They don't look down on me just because they don't look down on you!"

"It's okay, they have never set their sights on me. Otherwise, the one who marries you will not be me, the concubine, but the legitimate daughter."

This sentence somehow hit Tang Xiuyan's lungs again.

Seeing that Tang Xiuyan was about to take action, Lu Jiuqing took a step back and said coldly: "Don't forget where this is! Although I am not favored, I am also the biological daughter of Marquis Zhongyong. If you hit his daughter at his door, you are hitting him. His face, see if he can spare you!"

Tang Xiuyan really hated Lu Jiuqing's eloquent mouth.

In the past, Lu Jiuqing was stupid and obedient, and she was completely devoted to herself. No matter what she said, she would believe it unconditionally.

After so many years, he thought he had tamed Lu Jiuqing, but he never thought that after she went to the Ninth Prince's Mansion, she would come back completely changed.

It's like a hedgehog with spikes all over its body, making it impossible for anyone to start.

Tang Xiuyan took a deep breath, gritted his teeth and said, "Stop making trouble."

"Be obedient and I will let you suffer less when you go back."

After saying that, he stretched out his hand forcefully to support Lu Jiuqing's waist, but Lu Jiuqing dodged it sideways.

She left Tang Xiuyan behind and walked to the Hou Mansion first.

Tang Xiuyan followed closely with a cold face.

As soon as he entered the door, Tang Xiuyan's expression instantly softened, and he looked like a handsome young man.

Along the way, people were looking at this newly promoted uncle, the current number one scholar.

It was not the first time that Tang Xiuyan came to the Zhongyong Hou Mansion, but it was the first time that he had straightened his waist so straight.

The two of them walked through the corridor and crossed the garden. As soon as they arrived at the front hall, they saw a person standing at the door. It was Lu Menghua, the concubine of the Zhongyong Hou Mansion.

Lu Menghua has a slap-faced face, a pair of almond-shaped eyes with watery eyes, and black hair that reaches her waist. She is wearing a crescent-white skirt. She has a slim figure and a small waist.

She just stood there quietly, like a little white flower swaying in the wind, and I felt pity for her.

As soon as Tang Xiuyan saw the person, his eyes lit up and he quickened his pace and walked past Lu Jiuqing.

"Meng...Fifth girl, why are you standing here?"

"Of course it's the No. 1 scholar who greets us."

Lu Menghua's tone was playful, and he looked at Tang Xiuyan with a smile on his eyes and brows.

Tang Xiuyan's smile filled his eyes, and he said softly: "It's windy outside, and you are weak. You shouldn't stand here for a long time."

"It's okay, I just want to see you...you guys as soon as possible."

Lu Menghua seemed to have finally noticed Lu Jiuqing standing next to her. He waved to her and said with a smile: "Sixth sister, come quickly."

Tang Xiuyan paused and took a step aside.

Lu Jiuqing stepped forward and let Lu Menghua hold his hand.

"Congratulations to Sixth Sister for marrying the right man." Lu Menghua glanced at Tang Xiuyan, then said to Lu Jiuqing with a smile: "The current number one scholar is the dream man of many women."

Lu Jiuqing looked at her. After a while, his cold eyes gradually became warmer.

In her previous life, she was that stupid donkey. She really thought that this fifth sister was as weak and kind as she appeared. But in the end, she realized what it means to look beyond appearances, and what it means to have a Buddha's mouth but a snake's heart.
