Transmigrated as the Treacherous Official's Childhood Sweetheart-Chapter 382 - 381: Improper Conduct

Liu Yu cast a sidelong glance at his silent son, raised an eyebrow, and said resentfully, "Don’t make it difficult for yourself. Ah Zhi is a good girl, straightforward and lively, marrying you, a foolish boy, is already marrying down. Ah Ling doesn’t even consider you as a future son-in-law. She’s planning to arrange for the young master of the Duke Zhen Country Mansion to meet Ah Zhi. Who would have thought that rumors would spread so wildly recently."

The rumors referred to were about the young master being hot-tempered, enjoying beating servants, and frequently visiting brothels.

In these prestigious families, with deep roots and extensive branches, which noble son doesn’t have some flaws or an indulgent temperament?

Yet somehow, the young master of the Duke Zhen Country Mansion, Zhou Jing, became the topic of conversation in the Capital City.

Even now, when on the streets, one can occasionally hear a word or two about it.

Because of this, the Ye Family has not actively contacted the Duke Zhen Country Mansion.

For fear that their young daughter would catch his family’s eye.

Initially, they thought they were overreaching with the Duke Mansion, but now, they avoid them, a complete reversal.

A person with unsavory conduct cannot be married.

Li Du, who has been obsessed with practicing martial arts in recent years, also understood what his mother meant: "I know Zhou Jing. He has a fair complexion; he does visit brothels occasionally, but as far as I know, he goes in secret. As for beating servants, I’m not sure about that."

Liu Yu’s face immediately stiffened, scrutinizing her son, looking incredulous, as if seeing a ghost.

She shook her clenched fist in front of him, gritting her teeth: "Well, you’ve been mingling with people of poor conduct. Have you been to one too? So young and already going to brothels like others, spending your days with disreputable friends, no wonder Ah Zhi avoids you. In the future, spend more time with the Ye Mansion."

The soft punch of his mother’s delicate fist felt like a cotton ball hitting him, making no impact.

However, Li Du didn’t forget that behind her, there was his powerfully supportive father, so he reluctantly agreed to his mother’s words.

"Yes, I will definitely keep close to the Ye Mansion."

Li Du had other thoughts in his mind.

He heard that Ah Zhi was also practicing martial arts, and next time, they could have a spar.

His movements to flex his joints were obvious, eager for a match right away.

Liu Yu glared angrily, "If you dare touch Ah Zhi, I’m the first who won’t agree."

She left these words behind, too lazy to look at him, and hurriedly left. Secretly thinking: Is it too late to have another child now?

After giving birth to Li Du, the childbirth was so painful that she vowed not to have more children. Li Ran went along with her, resulting in only having Li Du as their sole son.

The woman’s graceful figure disappeared into the distance~

Dusk is the time of day and night transitioning, when yin and yang converge, also known as the auspicious time, suitable for households to greet the night.

The auspicious time was the time for the ceremony, and it had already passed for quite a while.

It was the moment when dusk had just ended.

The afterglow of twilight left only a smudge hanging in the sky, and the moon faintly appeared among the clouds at some unspecified time.

The red silk lanterns of Zhao Mansion were promptly lit, the candlelight passing through the carved, hollowed doors, illuminating the interior.

The guests were few, yet the atmosphere was full of joy and excitement, creating a feeling of pleasure and reluctance to leave.

Li Du amused himself, not following his mother, but moved towards the banquet set up in the main hall and sat down. 𝒇𝙧𝙚𝓮𝔀𝓮𝒃𝙣𝓸𝒗𝒆𝒍.𝙘𝒐𝒎

He happened to sit beside Gu Yan, a man of the Jianghu world, open-minded and cheerful, patting the young fellow on the back and started chatting, asking his name, if he knew martial arts, and where he learned it from...

At the same table, Xun Yin and Feng Liuli were present, both belonging to the subtle and elegant school of thought in literature, appreciating implicitness and indirectness, skilled in composing essays and poetry.

Taking advantage while Gu Yan was happily chatting with the young fellow.

Xun Yin and the others quietly ate their food, occasionally exchanging a few words.

Also at the same table with Xun Yin were Ye Lin and his wife.
