Lu Sheng, who was channeling water, suddenly stopped. Madam Zheng thought she was convinced.

Madam Zheng continued leading her. “That man is quite capable. Placing meat on the table will not be a problem for him. If you marry him, you’ll only get to enjoy your life.”

Lu Sheng did not have any elders in her house anymore, and Lu Ran was wasting his life away.

Madam Zheng thought that after the marriage, when she got the taels, she could just give them two or three taels.

Lu Sheng smiled.

“Is he that good?”

“Really!” Madam Zheng exclaimed as she held the hoe. “He has a good personality and is rather good-looking. His looks do not lose to Scholar Duan.”

If the marriage was as good as she claims it to be, why would Madam Zheng arrange it for me?

If I correctly remember, Madam Zheng has a daughter called Lu Wei, who is the same age as me and also has yet to marry.

Lu Sheng coldly laughed on the inside. With an innocuous face, she replied, “Since it’s such a good marriage, Aunt, you can arrange it for Sister Wei. She’s three months older than me.”

Madam Zheng’s smile turned into a tense expression. Then, she forced out some words, “I was just pitying you. Your Sister Wei already has someone she likes.”

Lu Wei had always liked Duan Zhen. It was something Lu Sheng knew long ago.

When the owner and Duan Zhen were engaged, Lu Wei would deride her every time they met.

It was all jealousy at its core.

Lu Sheng bent down to pluck a grass head. Without raising her head, she spoke, “I also have someone I like.”

“I know who you like.” Madam Zheng showed a face of despise. “Scholar Duan doesn’t like a country girl. Stop dreaming.”

Lu Sheng only smiled when she heard that. She did not retort or admit anything.

However, Madam Zheng’s speech entered the ears of Duan Zhen, who had moved closer to eavesdrop on their conversation as he carried his water bottle.

He looked at the busy Lu Sheng, and his eyes turned thoughtful.

“Why would Scholar Duan be free to come here?”

Madam Zheng hid her look of disdain and replaced it with flattery.

Lu Sheng looked up and stared at Duan Zhen before continuing with her work.

In the past, Duan Zhen had never taken a good look at his ‘ex-fiancee,’ so he did not know how attractive she looked.

She had dark black hair, crystal clear and cherry red skin.

The last time he saw her, he only had one thought: she was stunning.

The same thought flowed into his mind today when he looked at her.

He could not quite place the feeling, but he felt like his heart was hollow.

He politely nodded at Madam Zheng before passing by with his water bottle.

“Scholar Duan, you’re indeed filial. You don’t forget to send water to your parents even when you’re studying. If you become an official in the future, you will definitely be a good one.”

Hearing Madam Zheng’s praise, Lu Sheng remained expressionless.

When she finished weeding the grass, it was already in the afternoon.

Lu Sheng was sweating hard, and her body had become wet with perspiration.

She carried the hoe and walked back to her house. When she reached the entrance, a figure chased after her.

“Lu Sheng.”

Lu Sheng turned her head and saw Duan Zhen walking toward her.

She squinted and raised her brows. “What’s the matter?”

Duan Zhen stood before her. Despite the sweat, her face was still clean and fair. The sight made his heart tremble.

“You… still like me?”

Lu Sheng’s heart hurt a little, and she frowned.

The owner had liked Duan Zhen for many years, and this memory seemed to be engraved on her heart.

Although she was residing in this body, she could not suppress the emotions from surging in her heart when she heard Duan Zhen’s words.

“Why are you asking this?” she calmly asked.

Duan Zhen nervously replied, “If you still like me, I can make you my concubine after I’ve become an official in the future.”
