Chapter 977: Chapter 977: March to Question the Fault 4

Lu Jiang glanced at his nephew with a sideways look, "You little scamp, don’t just stand there pleased with yourself. Step up!

A wife faced with criticism, if you’re a man, you’ve got to step in, can’t hide behind your wife and do nothing about everything.

Lu Tianjun didn’t let his uncle down and stepped forward, placing Jiang Xiaoyue behind him, "Comrade Ye, as you said, I’m just a minor soldier, far less distinguished than your son’s noble birth..."

"Since you’re aware of your place, what are you doing standing here?" Ye Qing interrupted him with a face full of scorn and sarcasm, "Xiaoyue is the apple of Comrade Jiang’s eye, beloved since childhood, among girls her age, there are very few high-ranking officials’ daughters who can compare with her. Do you think you’re worthy of her?"

Seeing Lu Tianjun bullied, Jiang Xiaoyue got upset, a rare flush of anger crossing her face, "Auntie Ye, what do you mean by this? Whether Tianjun is worthy of me or not is for me and my family to decide!"

"Xiaoyue, I’m doing this for your own good," Ye Qing said.

"For my good?" Jiang Xiaoyue laughed coldly, her smile tinged with chilliness, "If you’re really looking out for me, you should be blessing me and Tianjun, not coming to our home to make a scene and criticize Tianjun! You came here to make a scene, my dad has already explained, neither he nor I have failed to keep our promises. As for your accusations against Tianjun, let me be frank with you, aside from the family background which is completely unimportant to us, Tianjun has nothing to be faulted for; I like his ambition, his filial piety, his capability, and his manners!"

If it weren’t for the concern over relations between the two families, and not wanting to cause unnecessary trouble for Lu Tianjun, Jiang Xiaoyue would have said that Li Jun is no match for Lu Tianjun in every aspect, not even a single hair.

Beauty lies in the lover’s eyes, none truer than this.

Feng Qingxue pursed her lips and smiled faintly, then suddenly spoke up, "Comrade Li Jun, ever since you arrived, it’s been Lingtang who has done all the talking. As one of the people involved, don’t you think you should say something?"

"Lingtang?" Li Jun was slow to catch on.

Once she had spoken, Jiang Yun wanted to cover his face, no wonder those culture workers said they were a bunch of boorish philistines who couldn’t recognize the first letter!

Even though Li Jun looked scholarly with his glasses, he couldn’t match Lu Tianjun’s learned persona.

Ye Qing said irritably, "Your mother!"

"My mom is my mom, why not just say so directly, who can understand all this fancy talk! When I was in school, the teacher never said Lingtang meant my mom!" Li Jun’s griping diminished as he took in Feng Qingxue’s appearance and then faded away, "What should I say? What’s there to say? Xiaoyue is now with your nephew, do I even have a say in this?"

Feng Qingxue smiled slightly, her beauty breathtaking, "Why wouldn’t you? You guys from those big courtyards often chase after female soldiers, especially the very pretty ones, laying siege and intercepting them at every turn; which one are you pursuing?"

Li Jun turned pale and blurted out, "How did you know?"

Feng Qingxue, who had been probing, wanted to understand the situation encircling Lu Tianjun and Jiang Xiaoyue; she suspected that after Li Jun started dating Jiang Xiaoyue, he took the opportunity of visits to mess around with the female soldiers in the arts troupe, seeming to progress too fast. Moreover, if he was like this after dating, what about before? Had he really been clean? After all, a dog can’t change its habit of eating excrement.

Now seeing Li Jun’s reaction, she knew her probe was successful; Li Jun indeed had something to hide.

Jiang Xiaoyue, having spent no short time with Feng Qingxue, caught on quickly, "Well done, Li Jun, you’ve been in cahoots, doing these things and you still have the gall to come to our home with Auntie Ye to stir up trouble! I really misjudged you!"
