Chapter 68: A Lack of Foresight

iped the sweat off his face.If he pretended to be five points tired halfway there, now he's truly exhausted, overloaded!"Please, give me some water to drink."Liu's steward had always disliked his slow...He wasn't intentionally trying to provoke Yulian, this girl's words during the day were too infuriating. For a stranger she had only met for two days, she was even willing to give up her home.

Anyway, Zong Bai couldn't understand, so he felt resentful.

The two were twins, they had been fighting since they were young.

On her way back, Zong Yulian had thought about the possibility of being ridiculed by them, but she hadn't expected the first person to speak would be her second brother.

"What's it to you You don't even recognize me"

Zong Bai glared at her helplessly, then looked at the frail man beside her with ill intent.

"This is the rich young master you're going to marry"

"When did you start liking this kind of sickly man who can't even lift his arms Didn't you used to clamor about wanting to marry a man as heroic and outstanding as our big brother"

"I feel secure."

Zong Bai's mouth was like a machine gun, making Zong Yu Lian so angry she almost died.

Su Yusheng saw the situation and revealed a gentle smile, holding back Zong Yulian who was about to flare up and stepping forward.

Sisiwenwen gave the two brothers of the Zong family a courteous greeting.

Both Zongyu and Zongbai were literate, especially Zongbai. He had attended private school for six or seven years. The teacher said that if he took the entrance exam for scholars, he would definitely pass.

So even though the two brothers were rough around the edges, they still knew basic manners from their schooling.

Although Zong Bai looked down on Su Yusheng for trying to take his sister away, he couldn't afford to lose face in front of him. He returned a very standard courtesy.

Though he may appear carefree and nonchalant on a daily basis, when it comes to scholarly pursuits, his demeanor transforms. He stands tall with the bearing of a young scholar, his movements imbued with an indescribable elegance and grace.

This did surprise Su Yusheng a little.

He still thought that Zong Yulian's family were just a bunch of village folk, but now it seems like that wasn't the case.

This was not good news for him. If he were just a simple country bumpkin who had never seen the world, it would be easier to handle.

He could easily spend some money to get Bai Lingzhi and Zong Yulian safely away.

Subsequently, Su Yusheng glanced at Zong Yu. On the way here, he had heard the most about this elder brother from Zong Yulian.

The moment their eyes met, Su Yusheng was slightly taken aback.

This reputation is truly lofty, and its aura surpasses that of ordinary people.

I'm afraid he's even more troublesome than the second brother of this family.

"Having met the two elder brothers, my name is Su Yusheng, a person from Muzhou."

Zong Bai impatiently interrupted him, "Stop, stop, stop. Don't call it so nicely, who is your elder brother."

“Our family has never acknowledged you as our clan's son-in-law.”

"How could someone just kidnap another person's sister without a word and not even show their face"

"Master Su, I know your family is wealthy and noble. We are just poor country folk and could never hope to match you."

"I don't know why you insist on taking my sister away. Since you're here today, why not have a good talk with us and explain your reasons"

If it can be done, then as an older brother, I wouldn't stand in the way of my younger sister's happiness.

"If we say it's not going, our family isn't poor enough to sell our sister for a few stinking coins. We wouldn't do this even if we starved to death."

Although Su Yusheng didn't agree inside, he nodded repeatedly on the surface.

"Yes, I know both of you brothers are not like that."

Although Yu Lian and I only recently met, she has already told me quite a bit about her family.

Zong Bai was so angry that he nearly died, glaring at Zong Yulian. "You just told an outsider about our family's affairs so easily"

"When did you become so naive"

Zong Yulian had long been unable to bear her second brother's sharp tongue. Ignoring Su Yusheng's dissuasion, she retorted sharply.

"Second brother, you're clearly intentionally targeting Su Lang."

"I've made up my mind to marry him. I should tell him about our family situation, anyway we don't live in the mountains."

Zong Baiqi pointed at her with his finger. There's an old saying in the village: "When a daughter grows up, her elbow points outwards." This saying is absolutely true.

Just when he was about to blow his top, Zongyu finally spoke up.

"Let me apologize to Young Master Su. Although my younger brother may be a bit outspoken, there's truth in what he said."

"It's completely unnecessary for someone of Su Gongzi's status to lower themselves to interact with common villagers like us. Since you brought Yu Lian here and returned, what's your purpose Just tell us."inally planned to just set up two tables simply.This brother-in-law, Fang Jianren, is really making things difficult for him.Thinking of Fang Jianren, Liu Qi's face suddenly changed, "Oh no!"Liu Yuanw...
