Inside Liang Yuening’s heart, a little devil was raging.

Tch, the Qin family.

They don’t take us seriously. Do they really think I’m dumb? I’m clever too, okay? I’m only slightly less smart than my own family.

As for you guys?

Humph!

Liang Yuening put on a particularly aggrieved expression, pretending to head towards the city gate.

They were still halfway there, quite a distance from the Qin family, and seeing the "Young Master" causing a ruckus here, the old woman frowned slightly.

"Young Master, slow down."

The old woman stepped forward to try to grab Liang Yuening, but his face turned green, and this time it was not an act. He was genuinely frightened.

"What do you want?" Hastily stepping back, he held onto the arm that the old woman nearly grabbed, very wary.

"I’m telling you, don’t be disrespectful to an elder. I already have a spouse, don’t go pulling and tugging at me!"

Old Woman: "???"

She was momentarily confused, then recalled the engagement between the Yan family and the Qin family, thinking to herself that perhaps the "Young Master" heard about this and that’s why he was acting this way.

"Young Master is overthinking. This old servant was merely anxious. I hope the Young Master can forgive me?"

Liang Yuening remained vigilant.

"What does your anxiety have to do with me? If you get anxious and touch people, does that mean you’re going to touch men every day when you’re anxious? Are you going to end up touching all the men in the world soon? Aren’t you afraid your hand will get rubbed raw?"

The old woman was dumbfounded again.

Liang Yuening behaved as if he was extremely cautious, quickly retreating as if the old woman was some kind of flood monster. He muttered under his breath, "What kind of person are you, bullying me because I’m dumb? You’re a woman, I’m a man, men and women should maintain distance, you’re even trying to touch me, do you think I’ll believe you? You old veggie, you definitely have bad intentions!"

Old Woman: "???"

She was so pissed off she couldn’t catch her breath. Initially, she didn’t think this person was stupid, but now... is he really not a fool? His intelligence is questionable; maybe there’s something wrong with his brain.

Liang Yuening fiercely and boldly said, "You, you, you, yes, you. Why are you staring at me? I’m telling you, don’t fall in love with me. Even if you do, I can’t possibly like you back. Just stop thinking about it, don’t keep staring at me like that, it’s uncomfortable, it gives me the creeps."

The old woman took a deep breath and forced a smile: "Young Master, this old servant is truly innocent. My family already has a husband, how could I covet your... your... your... beauty?"

Staring at Liang Yuening’s stature over 180 cm tall, observing his physique, then looking at his fierce and bold expression not at all gentle or docile, the old woman struggled to get the word ’beauty’ out from her throat.

Liang Yuening nodded in agreement: "Hmm, I am quite beautiful!" Generally speaking, he’s just slightly less impressive than his second brother, third brother, sixth brother, and eldest brother.

Shamelessly flattering himself.

The old woman’s eyelids twitched: "Young Master, you see it’s still raining. Can we... go back to the residence?"

The implication being, can you stop making a fuss? What are you doing?

Liang Yuening glanced around, then his eyes rolled.

"I told you to stop but you didn’t. If you hadn’t mentioned it, I would’ve almost forgotten. I’m hungry, hurry up and get me something to eat, otherwise I’m not going back with you!"

After speaking, he acted like he was very agitated, crossing his arms and sitting on the edge of the stone-paved road, looking like an aggrieved bun.
