  "I'll leave it to you then." Li Mingyun's voice was low and slightly solemn.

  Another voice was bright and fluttering: "Just relax! What's the big deal? In recent years, although the iron triangle is missing one, the attention of beauties has decreased somewhat, but with my and Ning Xing's efforts, we have managed to maintain our position. We are still the most eye-catching partners in Beijing. It's easy to stir up some waves, just take it slow, let's just enjoy the spring outing."

  Lin Lan stood outside and heard this, wrinkled her nose, this guy was talking nonsense, was he reliable or not!

  "Alas... it's just that, I don't know how many girls' boudoir dreams will be shattered. Pitiful, pitiful." Chen Ziyu sighed exaggeratedly.

  Li Ming Yun gave him a cold glance and said indifferently: "Isn't there still Chen San Shao?"

  "Go away, I never put these mediocre people in my eyes." Chen Ziyu had a very spirited raise of her chin.

  "Ordinary makeup? I don't know who always complains endlessly whenever they're neglected." Li Mingyun snorted.

  "I'm sad for them, they only see the superficial talent of the divine child, and they all rush to him like a swarm of bees, but can't see the truly talented and profound me. Now it's their turn to regret, I won't even give them another glance, especially that Pei Zhiqian." Chen Ziyuan said with great disdain.

  "Go ahead and brag!" Li Mingyun was not surprised, having long been accustomed to Chen Ziyu's self-aggrandizement. Three years had passed, and this guy's boasting skills had made great progress, and his ability to put on airs was no small thing either.

  "Hey! Honestly, I still have reservations about this move. That stepmother is indeed a bit of a problem, and Father is also a bit of a problem... But isn't it not worth sacrificing one's own happiness to fight with them? And that village girl... I really can't understand why she would catch his eye?" Chen Ziyu shook his head in disappointment and puzzlement.

  "Why can't she just enter my eyes?" Li Mingyun asked casually.

  Chen Ziyuan leaned in, with a teasing smile: "Logically speaking, a great talent like you, marrying a talented and beautiful woman should be easy as pie. Reading books together at night, how pleasant, how delightful! But now, you've brought back a wildflower from the countryside, don't tell me you'll be spending every night discussing mulberry and hemp with her? Besides, I think she's not only brainless but also rough..." Chen Ziyuan shook his head even harder as he spoke.

  Only dog tails, pig tails, cow tails, only no brains, no, with brains, pig brains... Lin Lan was furious and cursed for a while, knowing that this guy was going to speak ill of her.

  The silver willow beside him was also indignant. This Mr. Chen was extremely rude, actually talking about others behind their backs and speaking ill of them.

  It's almost there~

  "Excuse me, I'm late, has Mr. Chen left?" Lin Lan changed her expression and walked in with a smile.

  Chen Ziyuan, who had just spoken ill of someone, felt guilty and looked somewhat embarrassed on his face, so he smiled exaggeratedly at the person walking in.

  Li Mingyuan stood up to greet her and made a formal introduction beside her.

  "Lin Lan, this is Chen Gongzi, also known as Zi Xun. He's the third son of the Chen Taifu family and was my best friend back in the capital. This time he came out of the capital on business and made a special trip to find me." Li Mingyun introduced Lin Lan.

  Lin Lan smiled slightly and gave Chen Ziyu a standard curtsy: "Master Chen, I'm really sorry about last time...I misunderstood and fell hard, didn't hurt anything, did I?"

  Chen Ziyuan was taken aback at first by her calm demeanor, and couldn't help but feel a little surprised - how could this rough village girl be so gentle and refined? Later, when she apologized, he felt a pang of guilt in his heart - hadn't he just been speaking ill of her? He was about to respond politely, but then heard her mention his embarrassing incident with a smile... Chen Ziyuan was taken aback - was she sincerely apologizing or intentionally teasing him? The last time he had fallen flat on his face was the most embarrassing thing that had ever happened to him, and it still lingered in his mind, making it hard for him to let go. Why did she have to bring it up again?

  Li Mingyu slightly lowered his eyes, hiding the smile at the bottom of his eyes. Lin Lan must have heard Zi Yan's words, she was someone who never admitted defeat.

  Lin Lan saw Chen Ziyuan dazed and couldn't help but secretly laugh, pretending to be very concerned and guilty: "Master Chen, if you're hurt somewhere, don't hide it from me. I've studied medicine for a few years too, let me take a look and treat you?" As she spoke, she took two steps forward.

  Chen Ziyuan hastily retreated two steps, waving his hand anxiously: "Don't... nothing's wrong, I'm fine, really. This young master has a sturdy body, falling down is no big deal. Thank you for your concern, miss." As soon as Chen Ziyuan finished speaking, he regretted it deeply. What kind of situation was this? He even thanked her, indeed, speaking ill of others brings trouble due to a guilty conscience.

  Li Mingyun looked at Chen Ziyuan's embarrassed face and held back his smile as he mourned with Chen Ziyuan.

  "It's nothing! Now I can rest assured." Lin Lan smiled brightly, with a sincere and open expression.

  Chen Ziyuan's face was smiling, but his heart was resentful.

  The three of them sat down again. Since they had already discussed the main matters earlier, it was not suitable to reheat old topics now. So Li Ming allowed Chen Ziyun to bring up Ning Xing instead.

  "The court is going to hold the Wu Ke examination, isn't it? Why doesn't he go and participate? If he passes the Wu Ju exam, the court will naturally reuse him, and there won't be any gossip." Li Mingyu raised an eyebrow and asked.

  "Kaiwu promotion will have to wait until next year, for now... Northwest Dajing has a vacancy, that... also knows, is an important position, can't miss the opportunity. Besides, Ning Xing's reputation as Little Overlord has long been renowned, who dares say he's not capable?" Chen Ziyu was somewhat restrained in his words due to Lin Lan being present.

  Li Mingyu smiled slightly: "That's also true, I just pity him, if he participated in the Wuju exam, he would be the most suitable candidate."

  Lin Lan thought to herself: In the Imperial City's Iron Triangle, Ming Rong is a genius, Ning Xing is a tyrant, one excels in literature and the other in martial arts. Then what is Chen Ziyuan best at? Boasting?

  "Now that Ning Xing is gone, Duan Qinghong is the happiest. In a mountain without tigers, monkeys claim to be kings..." Chen Ziyu said indignantly.

  They chatted on and off, but Lin Lan was worried about why Yin Liu had not arrived yet.

  Speak of Cao Cao and Cao Cao arrives, Yin Liu brings in a tray.

  Lin Lan assumed a ladylike demeanor and smiled as she said: "The tea in both of your cups has gone cold, hurry up and change it to hot!"

  Yinliu first gave the two young masters a change of hot tea, and when it came to Linlan, Yinliu quietly gave Linlan a signal with her eyes. Linlan understood and let her withdraw, then picked up the teacup, lightly lifted the lid, with a faint smile on her face, displaying the elegant demeanor of a noble lady. Her gaze swept to Chen Ziyuan, who had also picked up his teacup and was blowing gently at the tea water.

  Lín Lán counted silently: one, two...

  Hmph...

  Chen Ziyuan spat out a mouthful of tea, making a loud noise. The teacup in his hand shook and the tea splashed all over him again, scalding him so badly that he jumped up, looking utterly disheveled.

  Li Mingyun stared at Chen Ziyuan in shock: "Ziyuan,......"

  Chen Ziyuan scrunched up his face, furrowed his eyebrows and said: "This tea is bitter, how can it be so bitter?"

  Nonsense, can adding honeysuckle make it not bitter?

  Li Mingyu glanced at Lin Lan, who seemed even more shocked than him, and knew in his heart that it was definitely Lin Lan's doing. He let out a helpless silent sigh.
