Rebirth: The Journey of an Heiress novel Chapter 1415

Capítulo 1415: Chapter 1410: Heartflutter

Why is it that now, getting beaten with sticks often in the army is something to be proud of?

“Are you so happy… because Mother has been choosing a match for you these days?” Lu Yuanqing looked at his foolish brother and asked, “When the decree arrives, you’ll be able to leave without worrying about marriage, right?”

Lu Yuanqing knew that Mother was arranging Lu Yuanpeng’s marriage for the simple reason that since Lu Yuanpeng had chosen the path of a General, he might be dispatched at any time due to wars breaking out somewhere, just like the Bai family generals… therefore, Mother wanted to settle the marriage while Lu Yuanpeng was still in Dadu City.

Suddenly being seen through by his brother, Lu Yuanpeng denied with flushed ears, “It’s not like that! Brother, what are you thinking!”

“Could it be that you have someone you’ve taken a fancy to?” Lu Yuanqing’s eyes were sharp. After all, it’s his own brother; how could he not know the sly tricks in his heart?

Before Lu Yuanpeng could speak, Lu Yuanqing indifferently took out a beautifully designed hairpin and a Jade Pendant from his pocket: “Found under your pillow…”

Lu Yuanpeng hurriedly opened up his pillow, indeed finding the hairpin and Jade Pendant hidden underneath were gone.

Lu Yuanpeng: “…”

He reached out to grab them but his brother avoided him by raising his hand, while his brother slowly placed the hairpin and Jade Pendant back into his sleeve, casually poured himself a cup of tea, and said, “Tell me, which young lady were you planning to give them to? If you dare lie, you won’t be leaving, and I will personally request from His Majesty. After Mother has settled your marriage… then you’ll be free!”

“You truly are my brother!” Lu Yuanpeng said with resentment, then turned angrily and covered his head with the quilt, as if the little secret hidden deep in his heart had been discovered, feeling a bit embarrassed, also a bit anxious.

Growing up, it’s the first time Lu Yuanpeng felt this way, worried yet not daring to speak out… afraid that speaking out would lose even the friendship.

Thinking of himself, Lu Yuanpeng, little overlord well-known in Dadu City. He once proudly declared… that when getting married, he would wed the most virtuous and talented lady of Dadu City, ideally like his sister Fenglang, gentle yet not controlling him going out to eat, drink, and have fun.

Who would have thought… who would have thought he ended up liking a tomboy!

Moreover, it was a tomboy who always boasted of beating him until even his own mother wouldn’t recognize him!

Not even being delicate and gentle was fine, but she went mercilessly when beating him. This sort of woman… if really married, he feared he’d get beaten three times a day.

Seeing his brother like this, Lu Yuanqing knew his foolish brother might really have fallen in love.

“Tell me, who’s the maiden?” Lu Yuanqing straightened his sleeve, “As long as she’s not an Imperial Clan noble girl, even if a minor family, as long as you like her… I’ll persuade Father and Mother.”

Lu Yuanqing could say this because he felt that a jumpy spirited person like Lu Yuanpeng could not possibly have fallen for any of the Bai family girls, besides… the Lu family had received abundant blessings from the Emperor and should understand contentment, not want more or aim for the Bai family’s daughters dreaming of reaping what was impossible.

Besides, His Majesty had long stated, Bai family’s children’s marriages would not be mixed with national affairs, so if Lu Yuanpeng really likes one of the Bai family girls, he wouldn’t even mention persuading Father and Mother, he might not even pass Grandfather’s test.

Hearing his brother’s words, Lu Yuanpeng tightly clutched his quilt, covered his head tightly: “No one! The hairpin and Jade Pendant are for Sister Fenglang!”

“Who are you fooling?” Lu Yuanqing said calmly, “If they were for Fenglang, she came to see you several times since you returned. Did you keep them hidden under your pillow all this time?”
