I'm the Farmgirl You Can't Mess With Chapter 1347: Side Story: Having the Whole World in View (24

The four brothers rushed to the capital and arrived in less than a month. At this moment, they also learned the identity of their future sister-in-law.

She was the eldest daughter of the Lu family of Shanyin’s second branch, and Mrs. Hua, Lu Jingshu, was her aunt. The four of them were incredibly curious about her. Thus, the moment they entered the capital, they neither returned home nor entered the palace. Instead, they secretly snuck to the Lu family’s huge residence in the capital.

Although Tiger Head and Little Lion were also eager to see what their future sister-in-law looked like and what her character was like, they were not young anymore and knew it wasn’t a good idea for them to sneak in. They could only place their hopes on Little Fu and Little Leopard.

Although these two boys were not young, they were not old either. They’d be able to somewhat explain things if someone discovered that they had snuck in to see their sister-in-law.𝑓𝑟𝑒𝘦𝓌𝑒𝑏𝑛𝑜𝘷𝑒𝘭.𝒸𝘰𝑚

Eager to try, Little Leopard said to his two older brothers, "I promise to plete the mission."

Little Lion reminded Little Fu, "Keep an eye on him. Don’t let him get into trouble."

He then said to Little Lion, "Take care of Little Fu. Don’t let him be discovered."

The two teenagers nodded repeatedly. Then, Little Leopard carried Little Fu and jumped over the wall, landing lightly on the ground.

Coincidentally, they landed behind a cluster of trees, and there was no one outside.

Little Fu said, "This is the inner courtyard. I wonder where Second Cousin-in-law is staying."

"Let’s search one courtyard at a time."

Little Fu thought for a moment and shook his head. "The Lu family is a huge one and this residence isn’t small. How long will it take for us to search one by one? We’ll probably be discovered before we find her. Since she’s the legitimate daughter and is engaged to Second Cousin, her acmodation can’t be that bad. Let’s go east."

They sneaked over, avoiding the servants along the way. When they saw a very lively courtyard, they immediately said happily, "Maybe this courtyard is it."

Before a girl got married, there would definitely be many relatives and friends who would e to visit her, which would explain the liveliness of the courtyard.

Moreover, this place was huge and the location was good. The two of them thought that this must be it, so they secretly sneaked over to take a look.

They didn’t just want to see her appearance. They were more curious about what was so outstanding about her character that their big brother actually agreed to get married so quickly.

Since they had seen many gorgeous people since they were young, they didn’t think that Little Bear fancied her because of her looks. This was why they were so interested in this person.

The two youths hiding behind the tree secretly peeked out to look at the young lady in the middle.

The young lady was bright and charming. At this moment, with a pursed-lip smile, she turned around and politely invited everyone to sit in the garden. Little Leopard could even tell from her voice that she was smiling. "The lotuses are in full bloom at the moment and it’s cooling over there as well. Let’s go over to sit by the lotus pond and chat."

The other girls agreed and followed her out. Seeing as the servants had long been arranged by her to decorate the lotus pond pavilion, she clearly had management capabilities and she was very popular with the girls.

However, not only Little Fu, but even Little Leopard frowned. His intuition told him that this wasn’t the reason his big brother had taken a fancy to her.

Seeing that everyone had left, Little Fu tugged at his hand and said, "Let’s go. There are many people here. Be careful not to be discovered."

Little Leopard said in a low voice, "I feel a little unfortable."

"I also feel that it’s a little strange." Little Fu said in a low voice, "But now is not the time to discuss. Let’s wait until we get out."

However, it was unknown if it was because the duo was fast or because the girls were slow, but they bumped into each other again after turning two corners. Moreover, it was obvious that someone was blocking in front of them, forming a confrontation.

The two youths instantly got worked up and secretly looked over.

Behind a young girl stood a young man who was about the same age as them. He bowed slightly and said, "Greetings, Second Sister. Greetings, ladies."

The girl they saw just now chuckled and went forward to hold her hand. "Third Sister, why are you out? I thought you were busy embroidering your dowry. Coincidentally, we’re going to the lotus pond to play. Since we’ve bumped into each other, why don’t we leave together?"

The girl shook her head and said with a smile, "I still have some things to do. Sisters, go ahead. Jiashu and I will go back first."

The girl in the lead seemed to have noticed the young man behind her only then. With a smile, she nodded. "Fifth Brother is also here eh? Is it time for him to take his medicine? If that’s the case, we don’t dare to delay you. Hurry up and go."

The girl pulled her brother to the side and watched them leave.

Lu Jiashu watched them walk away in a daze. After a while, he stammered, "Sister, they’re bad people."

Lu Deyin sighed and held his hand as they walked forward. She said, "Don’t say such things again in the future. Just keep it in your heart, understand?"

Little Leopard and Little Fu looked at each other and left quietly. At this time, they had already guessed that the person holding the young man’s hand was their future sister-in-law.

Little Leopard had just jumped down the wall with Little Fu in his arms when something flew over. He immediately waved his hand and hit it away. When he looked up, he saw his big brother sitting on his horse and glaring at them with a dark expression.

Little Leopard cowered and immediately turned to look at his two older brothers who had instigated him, only to see them standing obediently at the side with their heads lowered.

Little Bear sneered. "Stop looking. They just got beaten up. Tell me which one of you will go first."

Just as he was hesitating whether to raise his hand first, Little Fu said, "Brother Little Bear, we saw our future sister-in-law being bullied."

Frowning, Little Bear asked, "Who dares to bully her?"

In a vivid manner, Little Fu immediately recounted what he had seen and heard. Little Bear, Tiger Head, and Little Lion were a little confused, not understanding how Lu Deyin had been bullied.

Little Leopard only had a vague feeling when he saw that scene with his own eyes, but it was impossible for him to articulate it clearly.

Therefore, in the face of his big brother’s puzzled gaze, he could only say, "Anyway, I got the sense that she was being bullied."

Frowning, Little Bear was about to flare up when Little Fu immediately analyzed, "Brother Little Bear, can’t you even tell? Our future sister-in-law is being ostracized."

He snorted and said, "I used this kind of child’s play when I was six years old. Don’t think that this kind of bullying is invisible and colorless. It’s actually the most hurtful."

Little Bear was still looking at him in confusion. "Didn’t her cousin greet her and invite her to play with the group? How is that ostracism?"

Little Fu looked at him with grief and indignation. "Big Brother, you’re too stupid. It’s right that future sister-in-law didn’t say yes. If she did go with them, she’ll probably be bullied so hard by them."

"She’s the one who’s going to be the bride. Although the Lu family can be considered a scholarly family, they’re also the lowest-ranking among them. They’ve only been around for two to three hundred years, and the highest-ranking official in the Lu family is only ranked Grade 2A. They might be able to dominate others in Shanyin, but in Jiangnan..." Little Fu shook his head in disdain. "I’m afraid they’re nothing in the eyes of the aristocratic families. Yet, it is the Lu family’s daughter who will marry you. You don’t know how many people would kill to marry you. Even the aristocratic Cui family and the Li family..."

Little Fu didn’t plete his sentence, but his meaning was obvious.

In terms of prestige, the most prestigious person in the world was naturally the Emperor. Below that was King Rong, followed by Fan Zijin.

However, there were most people vying to bee King Rong’s in-laws, even more than there were people coveting the Empress’s position.

As Qi Haoran’s King title was hereditary, this meant that Little Bear would be King Rong in the future, as would his sons and grandsons. As long as they did not mit a major crime such as treason, as long as Great Qi was around, Qi Haoran’s descendants would be King Rong.

Qi Wensu was now a king of the first rank, while the other imperial sons held the lesser title of mandery prince. Their noble titles could be inherited, but even then, each generation would receive a rank one level lower. By the seventh generation, unless imperial favor was granted somewhere along the way, there would have been little to distinguish them from ordinary moners.

As for being an Empress, the selection of the Empress was subject to much scrutiny. However, marrying King Rong’s heir only required one to win the favor of Prince Rong and Queen Consort Rong. Hence, although Little Bear was already 22 years old, he was still the most sought-after bachelor in Great Qi.
