Gu Yanfei was still calm. She only raised her right eyebrow.
Gu Yuan, who was drinking tea, didn’t look so normal. He almost spat out the tea in his mouth and frowned at Fan Beiran.
“Ahem!” Fan Beiran coughed dryly and winked at Gu Yuan.
Wasn’t his Fifth Sister possessed?!
He had no choice now and could only use this last resort to trick this girl out first. Anyway, they were family, so there was no need to treat her like an outsider.
Gu Yuan slowly swallowed the tea in his mouth and watched quietly from the side.
Gu Yanfei rested one elbow on the coffee table and looked at Fan Mushuang with her chin in her hand. She asked as if nothing had happened, “Miss Fan, is Young Master Xue your sweetheart?”
“That’s right.” Fan Mushuang’s eyes lit up. Her pupils shone like gems as she nodded vigorously.
“Can you tell me what kind of person he is?” Gu Yanfei threw out a second question right on the heels of that. She pushed the plate of candied plums in Fan Mushuang’s direction and gestured for her to try it.
However, Fan Mushuang turned a blind eye to it. A peach blossom-like blush appeared on her face as she gripped the armrest of the chair tightly with one hand and said tenderly, “Xue’cr is a scholar. He’s now living in Wuliang Temple to study.”
“Xue’er is exceptionally talented, but unfortunately, he hasn’t been recognized for his abilities. He studied diligently for 10 years at the Bailu Academy, with the hope that his mentors would recommend him for an official position. However, his opportunity was taken away by the son of a high-ranking official. Despite facing such injustice, he didn’t give up on himself. He said that since he couldn’t rely on recommendations to enter the court, he would participate in this year’s autumn examination. He’s determined to achieve a high ranking next year and eventually become a minister in the government, leaving a mark in history.”
“The moment I saw him, I knew that he was my destined person!”
“The Buddha said that it took 500 glances back in past lives to have a chance encounter in this life. The bond between Xuc’er and me has spanned three lifetimes. In the previous and previous previous lifetimes, we were separated by our families. But in this lifetime, I’m determined to grow old with my beloved Xue’er.”
“No one can break us up!”
Fan Beiran had actually heard Fan Mushuang’s words many times. As he listened, he couldn’t help but frown deeply and sigh in his heart.
If his Fifth Sister has her eyes on a talented young man, and considering that she hasn’t married the Fourth Young Master of the Zhongqin’s Mansion yet, at most their family would compensate for the Zhongqin’s Mansion. Canceling the marriage agreement would be sufficient.
Their Fan family was a military family, and they weren’t the kind of pedantic family that would strangle a girl to death if she accidentally touched a man’s hand.
However, his Fifth Sister had taken a fancy to this Young Master Xue. What was this? He wasn’t good at literature, nor was he good at martial arts. Fortunately, he was ambitious and shallow. Let alone being his brother-in-law, he usually encounters such a person. It was a waste of saliva to talk to him.
Gu Yanfei stared at Fan Mushuang’s shining eyes and asked, “Is Young Master Xue very good?”
“He’s really good.” Fan Mushuang nodded repeatedly. “Xue’er’s literary talent is outstanding. He’s proficient in all kinds of poems, songs, strategies, and philosophies. His knowledge runs through the past and present. No matter what he says, he can touch my heart.”
The corners of Gu Yanfei’s mouth curled up like a crescent moon, as if she was listening with relish. Her expression when she looked at her didn’t seem fake. For a moment, Fan Beiran, who was at the side, couldn’t help but wonder if he was just prejudiced against that Young Master Xue.
No, no way.
There’s no problem with me!
Fan Beiran shook his head, but he didn’t instruct Juan Bi to serve him a cup of strong tea.
Gu Yanfei didn’t even look in Fan Beiran’s direction. She focused on Fan Mushuang and urged, “Tell me more.”
Over the past few days, when Fan Mushuang was at home, her relatives all said that Xue’er wasn’t good. Now that she saw that Gu Yanfei had no intention of looking down on Xue’er at all, she felt that the other party really wanted to help her elope. She instantly became energetic.
Fan Mushuang put her palms together and smiled sweetly. Her smile was so sweet that it seemed to seep into her heart. She continued to talk about her sweetheart. “He has a noble temperament. He doesn’t value money or external things, nor does he blindly pursue fame and fortune. He’s determined to become a parent official in the future and can do something for the country and the people.”
“It’s my fortune to be able to reunite with him in this life. We’re fated to live and die together for three lifetimes!”
Gu Yanfei listened attentively, and her eyes lit up.
After Fan Mushuang finished speaking, Gu Yanfei suddenly moved. She raised her hand and gently tapped her forehead..
