After Chen Hanqing left, Wen Xiaochuan apologized to Lu Jing.
"I'm sorry, today's turmoil started because of me. I didn't expect it would bring you so much trouble, Mr. Lu."
"It's troublesome...it's not much actually," Lu Jing let the letter of challenge in his hand dry for a while. After the ink was completely dry, he carefully put it away.
In any case, this letter of challenge was worth 140,000 taels of silver, although Lu Jing didn't know when he would receive the money.
Then he asked Wen Xiaochuan, "By the way, when Chen Hanqing left, he said he couldn't wait that long. Why? Did he have some terminal disease?"
In the end, it was okay that he didn't mention it, but Wen Xiaochuan started to have a headache when he mentioned it.
"This... is probably related to a recent rumor in the world."
"What rumors?"
"I'm getting married."
"…………"
Lu Jing looked at Wen Xiaochuan, and Wen Xiaochuan also looked at Lu Jing without blinking.
After a while, Lu Jing suddenly realized, "You're not joking, then congratulations."
"Congratulations for what?"
"You're getting married."
"Who said I'm getting married?" Wen Xiaochuan asked.
"That's what you just said."
"I also said that it was just a rumor."
"Is anyone spreading rumors?" Lu Jing looked stern.
"That doesn't count... I can probably know where these rumors come from." Wen Xiaochuan curled his lips and said, "My mother has disliked me for a long time. She probably caused this because she thought I was spending money. She has too much money and wants to find someone to take over and get rid of me as a burden."
"That shouldn't be the case. Isn't your mother very rich? How could she not be able to support a daughter like you?" Lu Jing remembered that Zhang Sanfeng told him that the Wen family's wine and powder business were both Very well done.
In addition, Wen Xiaochuan's sisters are marrying more powerful people than the others. Everyone in the world must give the Wen family face, and even those green forest heroes will not harass the Wen family's business.
Firstly, the reputation of bullying women is too bad. Secondly, if the Wen family really wants to take action and call all six sons-in-law together, the effect will be no different from gathering all the Dragon Balls. No village can withstand this destructive weapon. The energy bomb of the earth.
Therefore, despite the current turmoil in the world, it will not have much impact on the Wen family.
"Yes, my mother is just a money addict, and it's just an excuse to not be able to afford anything." Wen Xiaochuan nodded like a chicken pecking at rice, "Besides, I am also looking for this husband seriously, but I haven't found him yet. "
"Chen Hanqing..."
"I have always regarded Brother Chen as a friend. When I saw that he didn't have many friends in the academy, I invited him to attend several banquets and introduced some young heroes and heroines to him. He was also polite to me at the beginning, so I guess He didn't have any other ideas, but after he completed the foundation building and found out that he had a first-class secret cauldron, his attitude towards me changed a lot.
"He started taking the initiative to invite me to go on outings, and gave me small gifts from time to time, but I didn't take them." Wen Xiaochuan also looked a little distressed, "I thought my attitude was clear enough."
If it were anyone else here, Wen Xiaochuan would have already started to comfort her after hearing what she said. Those who wanted to show their masculinity would probably scold Chen Hanqing, saying that he was stalking.
But Lu Jing smelled a hint of conspiracy and said suspiciously.
"You said that recently, your mother began to spread rumors in the world that you were going to get married... and Chen Hanqing successfully established a foundation and owned a first-class secret cauldron and was also pursuing you fiercely. As a result, at the banquet last night, You suddenly drank too much and started praising me for what kind of handsome gentleman I am, who is the first in the world without fighting?"
"It seems... it's like this. When I woke up early this morning, I realized that I might have gotten into trouble." Wen Xiaochuan opened his big innocent eyes, "I originally planned to finish the Secret Power and give it to Master Lu to admit my mistake and apologize, but You disappeared as soon as the meeting ended, and it was only later that I found out that Chen Hanqing had written a gauntlet to you, and I wanted to stop you, but I didn't expect it to be a step too late."
After Wen Xiaochuan finished speaking, he looked up and saw Lu Jing looking at her with a look like "Come on, please continue your performance."
So Wen Xiaochuan also bit his lip, "Don't you believe it, Master Lu?"
"Forget it, it doesn't matter. Just don't flatter me in front of others next time, especially before you get married." Lu Jing waved his hand.
"Whether Master Lu believes it or not, that is indeed my truth, and it is not flattery." Wen Xiaochuan said seriously.
"That's not the point." Lu Jingdao, "You'd better think carefully about who you plan to marry. Chen Hanqing, well... is indeed a little older."
"Age actually doesn't matter," Wen Xiaochuan said, "I have brothers-in-law who are more than twenty years older than my sisters. I just don't think Chen Hanqing is suitable as a husband."
"Why? He seems to be quite honest, and his cultivation aptitude is also very good." Lu Jing was curious.
"The reason why he is honest is because he didn't have many things before. Now that he has transformed into a dragon with golden scales, his desires will also expand with him. It's just because the time of transforming into a dragon is too short, and he hasn't realized that he can get more. But he has indeed started to make a move, otherwise he would not pursue me."
Wen Xiaochuan paused and then said, "Of course, if I really want to marry him, I actually have a way to control his desires and guide those desires in the direction I want. So to put it bluntly, I still don't like him. Another very important point is that he can't afford to support me. I dress up on weekdays, and a box of rouge costs four hundred taels of silver."
Lu Jing was shocked, "Are you applying rouge or gold?"
"It's not gold, but it's really troublesome to make. There are several pearls used, and they are all of the highest quality. They are ground into pearl powder and mixed with some other precious materials. They also have to go through many processes. The Wen family's rouge shop can't make more than a few boxes a year, so I basically use them all."
"It seems like your mother really wants to sell you off as soon as possible." Lu Jing suddenly felt that he could understand Aunt Wen.
This is not a daughter, she is just a gold-sucking beast.
I don’t know which unlucky guy will marry Wen Xiaochuan in the future. From now on, I am afraid that I will have to rely on small loans to survive.
Thinking of this, Lu Jing calmly distanced himself from the woman in front of him. He had no other intention. He was just afraid that if he got too close, if something was rubbed off her body, he would lose everything. .
However, Lu Jing later reminded him, "Although the makeup is gorgeous, it is better to use less lead powder as it is not good for the body."
Wen Xiaochuan agreed gently, and then said with a smile, "I can't tell that Master Lu also knows Rouge Lead Hua."
