Wei Jun did not lie.
The reason he glanced at Lang Xuan was entirely because she had once been betrothed to Linlin.
He pondered for a moment longer, because when he met Lang Xuan, she had just arrived in Liaodong and was getting off the carriage.
Hearing from those around him that it was Lang Xuan, Wei Jun glanced at her and wondered, who was taking care of Lang Xuan?
Then he thought of Linlin.
The demeanor of a gentleman? Perhaps.
However, since the fourth branch of the Lang Family has been exiled, it means that the marriage can no longer continue.
So Wei Jun didn't think about it any further.
He only remembered this person after hearing Linlin mention him today.
However, he wasn't interested in Lang Xuan, but rather in Linlin.
Because Linlin was actually staring at Lang Xuan?
"What do you mean by this?" Wei Jun asked.
He was always straightforward with Linlin, so he asked directly.
Linlin didn't answer, but instead asked, "She's asking about you, do you know why?"
Wei Jun: "I don't know. What, are you jealous? Are you really concerned?"
A hint of amusement flashed in his eyes, then he said, "No, you're too young. Losing your virginity too early isn't good for your health. Let's wait until you're fifteen. That Lang Jiu isn't much older either; believe me, he's not interested."
Linlin: "... Shut up."
Wei Jun burst into laughter.
After laughing, he told Linlin that he really didn't know Lang Xuan and didn't know her purpose.
"Perhaps," Wei Jun said, "She has taken a liking to me."
Linlin:"..."
Wei Jun was indeed handsome, and possessed the charm of the Wei and Jin dynasties; he was dashing and attracted many suitors.
But for Lang Xuan to still have such thoughts under these circumstances... then she's living too well.
"Of course, she might also be trying to use me to get out of her predicament? She's overestimating herself."
Lin Lin said Linlin, "She's just a little girl, please go easy on her."
"Young lady, I remember you're the same age," Wei Jun said meaningfully, "I'm afraid that it might be that she hasn't fallen for you, but you have."
Linlin ignored him.
"In short, I have nothing to do with her." Wei Jun raised his hand, "But if she likes me unilaterally, there's nothing I can do about it."
Linlin had been thinking about this matter for several days.
What happened to Lang Xuan?
That day, as soon as Wei Jun entered, his brows furrowed, revealing a hint of displeasure.
Linlin's hand, which was writing, trembled, and she asked, "What's wrong?"
"She actually deliberately tried to get close to Lian'er."
When Wei Jun came to Liaodong this time, his mother was worried and brought him a maid named Lian'er.
Lian'er served Wei Jun from a young age and was his head maid. She was beautiful and intelligent.
She was also very sensible and dutiful, loyal and Xiaoyi to Wei Jun, waiting for the future Lady to enter the household so that she could be made a concubine.
Lang Xuan approached Lian'er, who noticed something was wrong and immediately informed Wei Jun.
"I'm here to ask about your stance," Wei Jun said. "If you have absolutely no relationship with her, then don't blame me for being ruthless towards her."
Linlin expression remained impassive.
Wei Jun continued cursing, "You little brat, you dare to set your sights on me?"
Linlin remained unmoved.
Wei Jun: "You really don't care?"
"Are you done talking?"
Wei Jun immediately became smug. "I knew you wouldn't ignore it. You arranged her carriage here, didn't you? How come I didn't think of that before? How could someone like you tolerate others touching what's yours? You're planning to take her as a concubine later, aren't you?"
Lang Xuan had almost married Prince Ming.
If some scoundrel were to marry Lang Xuan and then claim to have married the woman of Prince Ming, how disgusting would that be?
It's absolutely disgusting.
Putting himself in her shoes, Wei Jun realized that he wouldn't have let things go so recklessly if he were in her shoes.
So he guessed that Linlin was probably waiting for Lang Xuan to grow up, intending to treat her as a concubine or maid.
"No, that's not right." Linlin Lin said expressionlessly.
So what are your plans?
"You're meddling too much. This is my business," Linlin said. "What did she ask you about? Never mind, have someone bring your precious thing over, I'll ask her myself."
Wei Jun laughed loudly and said, "I know, you must have taken a liking to her, definitely."
After a while, Lian'er arrived.
She came in and bowed to the two of them.
Lin Lin said Linlin, "No need for formalities."
Wei Jun said, "Tell the Prince that Lang Xuan has been asking you about everything. Tell him everything, big or small, so that he doesn't forget anything important and punish me."
Lian'er said carefully and respectfully, "She asked me for my master's name, and she asked very detailed questions."
Linlin said, "How did she ask? I mean, under what pretext did she approach you and bring these things up? Think back slowly and tell me everything."
Wei Jun suppressed a laugh and said, "Think carefully, don't leave anything out, the Prince likes to hear it."
Lian'er: "... Yes."
That day, Lang Xuan came to sell a basket of duck eggs.
She spent two days collecting these duck eggs from the surrounding military households.
In winter, ducks lay very few eggs.
Moreover, before the Lunar New Year, most people had exchanged their accumulated duck eggs for cash, so they didn't have much stock left. Therefore, she put a lot of effort into getting this basket of duck eggs.
She chose duck eggs because she remembered her past life. One year before the Dragon Boat Festival, she heard the steward urging everyone to prepare the things the Crown Prince had prepared for various places.
The housekeeper specifically mentioned that the duck eggs should not be broken, as they were prepared for Wei Zihan.
These are duck eggs sent as tribute from the seaside. They are large and have a more fragrant yolk, and they are to be sent to Wei Zihan, who is the only one who loves duck eggs among all kinds of eggs.
Why did it leave such a deep impression on her?
She overheard the maid whispering, "Why would someone like to eat duck eggs? They're so fishy..."
If Wei Jun is indeed Wei Zihan, then his servants would probably come out to buy duck eggs when they hear they're selling them.
As it turned out, this was indeed the case.
When Lian'er heard that a duck egg seller had come outside, she immediately came out.
However, she also recognized Lang Xuan...
Because she was in the capital when Linlin was betrothed, and like many other onlookers, she paid close attention to Linlin's marriage. So when she saw Lang Xuan later, she lingered for a while...
Now, she's reduced to selling duck eggs; her life's twists and turns are truly lamentable.
Lian'er was a kind person; she simply pretended not to recognize her, then asked her the price, without intending to haggle.
But later, Lang Xuan asked her about her identity, praised Wei Jun in various ways, and inquired about Wei Jun's affairs.
Lian'er initially thought it was a genuine compliment and was very happy, even saying a few words in return.
However, Lang Xuan started having more problems, and she realized something was wrong, so she told Wei Jun.
After Linlin, Linlin waved for Lian'er to leave.
Wei Jun said, "I wasn't lying to you, was I? She really did come to my door to inquire about me. I really think now that she's interested in me."
Otherwise, what's the point of her asking about him?
Linlin replied, "I think she might be more interested in your father."
Wei Jun: "..."
