“What is it? Is there anything else wrong with that horse?” Lu Lingzhi asked.

Tang Zhen shook his head gently. “It has nothing to do with that matter. It has something to do with...Yao Yao.”

At the mention of his third sister, Lu Lingzhi frowned. “What’s wrong with Yao Yao?”

The marquis started to pace the room, his brows crossed, befuddling thoughts in his mind.

“Did Yao Yao really grew up living in the Border Town? Does she know the Ye family? She seems to have ... different feelings for them.”

Because mentioning the Ye family was a taboo, Tang Zhen’s voice was no more than a whisper while he laid out his concerns in front of his friend.

Before Lu Lingzhi saw Lu Yoayaos appearance, the Ye family had no meaning to him, except for the little shame he feels when reminded of the woman he killed by poison.

However, Lu Yaoyao was the splitting image of Ye Zhen. After the murder, he had an inexplicable resistance to the memory of the Ye family and didn’t want to have any kind of involvement.

He had been afraid that Lu Yaoyao would bring back Ye Zhen to the memories of the people, but how despicable was it to find that his sister had known the deceased Wang Fei all this time!

“Yao Yao has lived all her life in the Border Town, and she doesn’t know the Ye family at all.” Lu Lingzhi answered directly, with a spat of disgust.

Unconvinced, Tang Zhen elaborately repeated Ye Zhen’s words to Lu Lingzhi. The longer he spoke, the more Lu Lingzhi felt shaken...

“... she seems to be very familiar with Ye Zhen. Go and find out if there is anyone feeding her with lies.”

Lu Yaoyao and Ye Zhen

Does Lu Yaoyao knew that she looked like the late Wang Fei? Lu Lingzhi grimaced at this thought.

The Gods were playing him in the most torturous way possible! Did they purposely gave him a third sister that looked exactly like Ye Zhen to remind him of what he had done to the woman?!

“I know who it is.” Lu Lingzhi said in dangerously low voice, “The gentleman beside Yao Yao is the former teacher of Ye Zhen.”

Tang Zhen suddenly froze, realization hitting him. “It is that man who was doing the trick. I’ll take care of him!”

Just before recklessness gets the best of the marquis, Lu Lingzhi stopped him in his tracks.

“I only know that teacher came from a powerful family, born of the first wife I heard. As long as he is breathing, we cannot touch him.”

“Then should we just let him continue poisoning Yao Yao’s mind?” Tang Zhen asked.

“Don’t fret. I’ll talk to my third sister.” Lu Lingzhi sighed lightly. No wonder Lu Yoayao had always been cold and indifferent to him. Is it because she sympathizes with the Ye Family and thinks he was the executioner?

Tang Zhen threw a fleeting glance at him. “I don’t think Yao Yao likes you very much. If you talk to her, would she listen to you?”

He hated to admit this but Tang Zhen was telling the truth. Lu Lingzhi’s face sank realizing that she would not listen to him at all.

“It’s better that I tell her myself.” Tang Zhen cautiously said, “If she knew about Tang family, she would understand that the Ye family deserved to die.”

Lu Lingzhi craned his neck to give a warning look at Tang Zhen, knowing exactly his motive.

“You stay away from Yao Yao. She is my third uncle’s daughter. Although she is my sister, she is still not on the marriage shelf. My third uncle may not want her to marry a marquis.”

Lu Lingzhi was able to see through his mind easily, but Tang Zhen was not offended at the very least. “I have no parents. Yao Yao will not have to please an old family in the future. There’s no other woman whom I am interested. Why won’t the third master agree?”

What was his friend talking about? He was simply the best young man in the world to marry!

Lu Lingzhi’s heart grew restless, he never expected to see the day when he would have this kind of conversation with his friend!

“You will have to have Yao Yao’s consent. She will go to the Women’s College. Even if she indeed entertains the thought of getting married, it will be after two years.”

Tang Zhen laughed, “That’s right, I can get to know Yao Yao first during those two years.”

He admires third miss Lu, Tang Zhen was sure of it. If after years of pursuing her and his offer would still be turned down, he promised himself that he would be a gentleman and not force her despite his position.

“Yao Yao is a little girl who knows nothing about the world. if you destroy her reputation, I will not forgive you.” Lu Lingzhi said coldly.

Tang Zhen nodded solemnly, “I naturally know the weight.”
