Suddenly, a bird was frightened and flew away. Among the leaves fluttering, a figure, like a startled giant, fell from the tree and stood firmly on the ground.

This is a boy of about 16 years old. He has an elegant figure, outstanding manners, and an extraordinary handsome appearance.

The pretty girl looked at the boy and curled her lips, "What a stinky thing. You have to read in a tree. It's always hard to find."

When the young man heard this, he was not angry at all. There was even a hint of pampering on his cold face. He raised his hand and touched his sister's head. "There is no need to look for her next time. I will go back by dinner time."

"I didn't want to come and call you, but mother misses you so much that she insisted on calling me." The girl pouted.

"I'll tell mom later." The young man said with a gentle temper.

"Okay, that's because you didn't want me to call you. It's not that I'm lazy." The girl continued.

"I know." The young man responded casually, but the scene he saw when he was in the tree flashed through his mind, which made him feel quite strange.

But soon, he shook his head and forgot about this matter.

Tao Yao was already waiting in front of the hall.

Although she is over thirty, time has not left any trace on her face, and she is still breathtakingly beautiful.

Seeing her son and daughter back, a kind and gentle smile suddenly appeared on her face.

"Zhen'er, Shuangshuang, hurry up and wash your hands. Dinner will be served soon." She said softly.

"Yes, mother." The brother and sister responded in unison.

When he came out after cleaning his hands, Lu Zhen glanced at his father but couldn't see him. He couldn't help but ask, "Mom, father hasn't come back yet?"

"Your father is busy with military affairs in the camp and is not so fast. We won't wait for him. Let's eat first." Tao Yao filled the soup with his own hands and placed it in front of his children.

When Lu Zhen heard this, he looked thoughtful.

Lu Wushuang, however, was stunned as she looked at her mother's face, which was over thirty but still stunning.

Although she could see her mother every day, she couldn't get enough of her.

"Mother, why are you so beautiful?" she sighed again.

Seeing the intoxicated look on his daughter's face, Tao Yao couldn't laugh or cry, "You're not bad either."

Lu Wushuang shook his head, "No, no, no, I am far worse than you. You are a great beauty, and I am only pretty at best."

When Tao Yao heard this, he was very funny. Looking at his daughter's young and delicate face, he couldn't tell at all that she was just a delicate figure.

Although my daughter is only 13 years old this year and her appearance has not yet fully blossomed, her beauty has already begun to take shape. In two years, when her appearance is fully blossomed, she will definitely be no less than herself.

Thinking of this, she didn't know whether she was happy or worried.

In this era, it is not a good thing for a daughter to have a daughter who is too good-looking.

She was fortunate that their family had a solid foundation and her husband and son were not ordinary people. It was not difficult to protect such a daughter and sister.

Thinking of this, she relaxed again.

In short, neither Lu Jiuyuan nor Lu Zhen would let them suffer.

Thinking about it, she said softly: "You are still young and have not fully grown yet, and your appearance is only the appearance, which is not important. What is more important is a person's heart and character."

"Can't you?" Lu Wushuang frowned and asked curiously, "If my father was born ugly, would you still marry him?"

Tao Yao was drinking soup with his head down. When he heard this, he choked and immediately started coughing, "Cough cough cough..."

Lu Zhen immediately put his hand on her back and warned his sister, "Don't talk to your mother like that."

Lu Wushuang pouted, "Can't you ask any questions?"

"What's your problem? There are no what-ifs in this world." Lu Zhen frowned.

"You can't even ask?" Lu Wushuang was a little unconvinced.

"It's nothing, how do you ask mother to answer you?" Lu Zhen was a little helpless.Tao Yao had recovered now. Listening to the argument between the brother and sister, she raised her hand and pressed it softly, "Okay, let's get over this topic and let's eat."

"Mother can't answer, or is she unwilling to answer?" Lu Wushuang continued to ask.

Tao Yao coughed lightly and said, "I never thought about this question back then. How do you ask me to answer you now? Because when I saw your father, he looked like that."

Lu Wushuang tilted her head and thought for a while, then said: "In this case, even if my father is ugly, you still knew how to marry back then, because you had no choice."

Tao Yao: "..."

"I can only say that you are lucky, mother. The person you want to marry happens to be good-looking." Lu Wushuang came to his own conclusion.

Tao Yao choked, "Why don't you say that your father is lucky that the person he wants to marry happens to be pretty?"

"That's right." Lu Wushuang patted his head, "I should say you two are lucky."

"You're even luckier." Tao Yao suddenly raised his eyebrows and looked at her.

"Why?" Lu Wushuang looked at her with wide eyes, a little confused.

"Because your parents are good-looking, that's why they gave birth to such a beautiful daughter like you." Tao Yao said with a smile.

Lu Wushuang was stunned, "That's right." As he said that, he looked at his brother's perfect face and said, "Brother, you are lucky too."

Helplessness flashed across Lu Zhen's cold face, "Lu Wushuang, beauty and ugliness are really not that important."

Lu Wushuang curled her lower lip, "If you really think so, then you can marry me an ugly sister-in-law in the future."

Lu Zhen was too lazy to pay attention to her.

Because he never thought about getting a wife.

Whether his future wife is beautiful or ugly, he doesn't care.

There is only one thing on his mind, and that is to become like his father.

After the meal, Tao Yao went back to his house to rest.

Lu Zhen and Lu Wushuang each returned to their own courtyards.

After Lu Zhen read the military book in the study for a while, and then practiced on the sand table for a while, he became a little sleepy. He was about to go and rest for a while, when suddenly a servant came to report: "Your Majesty, Crown Prince Rong from the Weiyuan Marquis Mansion wants to see you."

"Rong Yin?" Lu Zhen was stunned for a moment.

Weiyuan Hou Mansion is right next door to Lu Guogong Mansion. It was moved here years ago.

Marquis Weiyuan visited his father several times, and he met him twice, but he had not seen his son Rong Yin, but had only heard of his name.

It stands to reason that everyone has no intersection, so why did he suddenly come to look for him?

Lu Zhen was surprised, but he still asked his servants to invite him.

Not long after, a thin young man walked in under the guidance of a servant.

"Prince Lu." The other party was extremely polite. As soon as he entered the room, he bowed to him.

Lu Zhen nodded towards him, "Prince Rong, please take a seat. No need to be formal. Come and watch the tea."

"Thank you." Rong Yin sat down as he was told.

But the moment he raised his head, Lu Zhen was stunned.

Just because he saw each other when he was reading in the tree in the morning.

It turns out that the boy I saw in the yard next door was Rong Yin...

The scene he saw in the tree that morning suddenly came to his mind.
