Chapter 72: There Was a Need to Know One Another

Lu Sheng had not intended to meet Chu Sihan’s friends with him. After all, they were not close.

However, when the carriage entered the magistrate court, Chu Sihan instructed Chu Yun to send her items back to her courtyard first.

It was obvious that he wanted her to travel with him.

“Ah… Lord, if you have something to do, go ahead and do it. I’ll go back and prepare first.”

She was not familiar with his friends. It would be so awkward if they sat together.

Moreover, Chu Yun’s face was full of respect when he mentioned the two men. It was obvious that they were not ordinary men.

“It’s almost time for dinner. Follow me. We’ll have dinner together tonight.”

She was leaving Lin Jiang Mansion tomorrow morning, and it was unknown when they would meet again. She would stay for as long as she could.

Furthermore, Shi Yi and Yun Ting were his close friends. It was necessary for her to get to know them.

Despite his thoughts, his face remained calm.

Chu Yun also smiled and said, “Miss Lu, please go ahead. Don’t worry, with me here, you won’t lose anything.”

“That’s not what I meant…”

Who would dare to take things carelessly in this magistrate court?

“Then, let’s go.”

Then, ignoring her reply, he walked forward.

Lu Sheng contemplated for a while before gritting her teeth and following him.

At this time, in Chu Sihan’s courtyard.

“Brother Chu, you’re too much. Why didn’t you tell us that you’re getting married? We’ve wasted our ten years of friendship.”

Holding his teacup, Shi Yi sat in the pavilion and complained unhappily.

Yun Ting replied, “Since the Fu family did not inform us, there must be another reason.”

Even the relatives in the capital didn’t know about the mighty magistrate’s marriage. Unless he was marrying a concubine, it would not be so simple.

“He once said that if he’s lucky enough to meet the person he loves, he would definitely marry her. Could it be that the girl doesn’t love him?”

Shi Yi squinted his eyes and guessed.

Yun Ting replied expressionlessly, “I heard from Young Master Fu that the State Minister wanted him to marry a countryside girl. He didn’t even mention the four arts of lyre-playing, chess, calligraphy and painting, and we don’t even know if she’s beautiful or ugly. If it were you, would you be happy?”

For someone like Chu Sihan, even if he had to take a concubine, she had to possess stunning beauty. Otherwise, she would not be worthy of his face.

“I heard that he returned to Huang Yang Town to break off the engagement. This time, he brought a woman back. Could she be his self-proclaimed childhood sweetheart, Miss Shangguan?”

Shi Yi had already walked around the magistrate court just now. He only heard that Chu Sihan brought a pretty lady back, but he had not asked for her name.

“The both of you rushed all the way here just to inquire about my private affairs?”

A cold voice reached them, and the duo immediately sat up straight.

“Brother Chu, long time no see!”

Shi Yi stood up and placed the teacup on the table. He opened his arms to give Chu Sihan a hug, but was pushed away.

Yun Ting chuckled and sat still at his spot.

Shi Yi tidied his clothes and put on a proper smile as he complained, “Brother Chu, how can you treat your brother who has gone through thick and thin with you like this?”

Chu Sihan glanced at him lightly and did not speak.

“Snort —”

Lu Sheng, who was standing behind Chu Sihan, found this scene rather interesting and could not help but chuckle.

Chu Sihan took two steps forward. Lu Sheng could clearly see the shocked gazes of the two men in the room.

Yun Ting was still alright. He nodded at her before retracting his gaze.

Shi Yi walked around her, rubbed his chin lightly, and praised. “Where did Brother Chu find this beauty from? She looks like a fairy from a painting.”
