Protagonist:

Yan Qianqian

Ouyang Chengren heard Yan Qianqian speak so firmly, and couldn't help but be stunned. He looked at Yan Qianqian, and a complex emotion surged in his heart. He didn't know what he could do now.

Seeing Ouyang Chengren silent, Yan Qianqian thought he was still agonizing over the matter, so she quickly changed the subject to ease the atmosphere, "By the way, let's have dinner together tonight. I'll leave after dinner."

Hearing Yan Qianqian's suggestion, Ouyang Chengren's heart stirred. He remembered the last time he had dinner with Yan Qianqian, back when they were at the General's Mansion. He hadn't expected that after so long, he would still have such an opportunity to have dinner with Yan Qianqian.

He hesitated slightly for a moment, then slowly opened his mouth to reply, "Alright." The words had just left his mouth when Yan Qianqian turned her head toward outside the door and shouted loudly: "Xiao Ding!"

Actually, Xiao Ding had long been waiting outside the door. Hearing Yan Qianqian's call, he hurriedly responded and entered, bowing respectfully as he asked: "Master, do you have any instructions?"

Yan Qianqian instructed with an expressionless face: "Go have the kitchen prepare some dinner, and bring it directly over once it's ready."

Xiao Ding quickly replied: "Alright, Master!" Then like a gust of wind, he trotted off to convey his master's orders.

Although this residence belonged to the master, the master had never dined here before.

This was the first time dining here, and thinking of this, Xiao Ding couldn't help but feel a bit excited, while secretly speculating in his heart that this young master would probably become the male master of this place in the future.

Moreover, it had to be said, this young master was handsome and outstanding, and indeed quite well-matched with his own mistress.

However, Xiao Ding was only indulging in random thoughts in his heart; he knew very well what should be said and what should not be said.

The steward managed the servants here with proper discipline, making them all very well-behaved. When Yan Qianqian and Ouyang Chengren walked in, actually several servants noticed them, but they all continued to focus on their own work at hand, without gossiping.

At this moment, Yan Qianqian and Ouyang Chengren were sitting in the room talking. Yan Qianqian suddenly asked: "Do you still remember Luo Shun?"

Ouyang Chengren thought for a moment and replied: "Yes, I remember." His tone was somewhat puzzled, not understanding why Yan Qianqian brought up Luo Shun at this time.

Seeing this, Yan Qianqian quickly explained: "When I left the West Merchant Army Camp before, I happened to take Luo Shun with me as well. The reason he entered the army camp was entirely because he was forced by life.

But actually, he is someone who loves reading very much and is very talented. So I placed him in the Dongxiang Room, letting him prepare for the exam with peace of mind there.

After the next spring imperial examination, if he can make the Golden List, he can better serve our Dachang Kingdom."

Hearing her words, Ouyang Chengren couldn't help but feel a strong surge of jealousy in his heart. How could he not be angry? Luo Shun was after all a man, and he actually just moved into Yan Qianqian's courtyard, and with her consent at that.

However, despite the jealousy surging inside, Ouyang Chengren still suppressed his emotions and asked: "You just let a man move into your courtyard like this, A Ren't you afraid it would affect your reputation?"

Yan Qianqian, however, appeared very composed, and she answered lightly: "Everyone here is one of our own; no one will talk nonsense."

Hearing her answer so confidently and righteously, Ouyang Chengren was instantly so angry he could hardly speak. He felt that no matter what he said, Yan Qianqian would definitely find a reason to refute him.

Seeing him with a gloomy face, seemingly a bit angry, Yan Qianqian quickly explained: "Don't be angry, although he lives in the Dongxiang Room, I come very few times, and each time at most I just say a couple of words to him; I definitely haven't done anything else improper."

Hearing her words, the anger in Ouyang Chengren's heart had not subsided much. He rubbed his brow and continued to ask: "Then do your parents know he lives here?"

Yan Qianqian shook her head and said: "They don't know. My parents have never overly restrained me. And ever since I took over my father's Dark Guard Camp, my father basically doesn't manage things anymore; except for occasionally offering suggestions at the Imperial Court and receiving envoys, he doesn't care about anything else. He still trusts me very much."

Ouyang Chengren furrowed his brows and said with a serious face: "Whether it's him or me living here, it's obviously not in accordance with the rules. Since you already have your own plans, I naturally shouldn't interfere too much.

However, have you considered: if he fails to achieve his goal in this spring imperial examination, what should be done? Should he continue to stay here to prepare for another year, and then live here for another year?"

Just as the two were talking, a light knocking sound suddenly came from the door. Yan Qianqian turned her head toward the door and said softly: "Come in."

The door was slowly pushed open, and Xiao Ding walked in. He respectfully bowed to Yan Qianqian and then said: "Master, the food is ready. Should I serve it now?"

Yan Qianqian smiled and nodded, replying: "Alright, serve it. By the way, has Luo Shun eaten yet? If he hasn't, call him to come over together."

Xiao Ding quickly replied: "Replying to Master, Young Master Luo hasn't eaten yet either. I'll go pass the word right away." After saying this, he turned and quickly walked out of the room.

After Xiao Ding closed the door, she turned her head again and continued talking with Ouyang Chengren.

Yan Qianqian looked at Ouyang Chengren with a smile and said softly: "The problem you mentioned, I have actually thought about it too. The environment here is quiet and elegant, with few servants; it is indeed a good place to prepare for the exam with a calm mind.

If he ultimately fails the exam, I will naturally find another way for him. But in my opinion, he will definitely make the Golden List; even if not the top scholar, entering the Top Ten should not be a problem.

After all, Dachang Kingdom is currently in need of talent; for someone like him, it is undoubtedly an excellent opportunity. Moreover, he himself is very diligent and hardworking."

However, when Ouyang Chengren heard Yan Qianqian praise another man so highly, a sour feeling couldn't help but rise in his heart.

Just as he was secretly pondering, a light footstep sound suddenly came from the door. Ouyang Chengren and Yan Qianqian both turned their gazes toward the door at the same time, only to see Xiao Ding walk in quickly.

Xiao Ding respectfully reported to Ouyang Chengren: "Master, Young Master Luo has arrived. I'll go instruct them to serve the dishes right away."

Yan Qianqian smiled and replied: "Alright, thank you for your trouble."

The words had not yet fallen when Luo Shun, who was one step behind Xiao Ding, also appeared at the door. As soon as he entered, his face showed an expression of extreme terror, as if he had seen something terrifying.

Only to see him leaning against the doorframe, his body slightly leaning forward, his gaze first fell on Yan Qianqian, then quickly turned to Ouyang Chengren, and finally, after what seemed like a fierce internal struggle, he finally made up his mind and took a small step forward.
