Special Forces Empress has arrived! Is it Her Majesty the Queen?!

  Tang Lin laughed convulsively and said: "Uncle, is today April Fool's Day?"

  "What April Fool's Day, Uncle is talking to you about serious matters," Lu Baiwan continued with his own plan. "Uncle has already planned everything, today he has arranged your engagement, and after the imperial court grants Yitian an official position, then you two will get married, how does that sound?"

  He and Lu Yitang's eight characters hadn't even been revealed, yet this Lu Baiwan had already arranged his own lifelong matters. Tang Lin felt like crying but had no tears to shed. "Boss, listen to what Xiao Tang has to say..."

  "Alright, Lu Baiwan didn't give her a chance to speak at all. 'It's settled then!' He immediately shouted towards the door: 'Housekeeper!'"

  When Lu Guanjia came in, Yu Shengjun was no longer at the door.

  The housekeeper rushed in, bowing his waist and asked: "Master, I'm here, what's the matter?"

  Lu Baiwan ordered: "It's getting late, order the kitchen staff to hurry up and serve good wine and dishes. We'll be starting dinner soon!"

  "Alright, I'll go and arrange it!" With that, Lu Guan's housekeeper hastily ran out.

  "Boss, I..." Tang Lin wanted to explain.

  Lu Baiwan interrupted her again, "Little Tang, you don't have to be busy either, go sit in the hall and meet those guests. The guests inside are all our family's relatives, you'll get to know them sooner or later. It's not too early to get familiar with them first! Your uncle has some things to take care of, you just take care of yourself, don't be so reserved, consider this place as your home, after all, it will be yours eventually!"

  "Ah, boss..." The person had already reached the door and was walking extremely fast. Tang Lin wanted to explain again, but didn't have the chance. She slumped down powerlessly, looking worried and upset, saying: "How did it end up like this? I'm so frustrated!"

  "Ling Ling," at this time, the Holy Emperor walked in with big strides.

  Tang Lin stood up and immediately grasped his hand, saying urgently: "Dear, something's happened! Something's happened!"

  "Hush," said the Holy One, signaling her to calm down, "Don't be in a hurry, I just heard your conversation with Dongjia!"

  "I didn't!" Before Yu Shengjun could ask, Tang Lin hurriedly clarified her relationship with Lu Yitang, "There's nothing between me and Lu Yitang, don't listen to the boss's nonsense!"

  His Majesty smiled gently and pinched her cheek, "I know!"

  Tang Lin furrowed her brow, "Do you know?"

  The Holy Lord said: "You are an excellent girl, and every elder hopes to have a daughter-in-law like you!" He sincerely hoped that his mother would also see her and like her as much as Lu Baiwan did.

  Tang Lin's face turned pale with fright, "What are you talking about at this hour? What can we do now?" She was completely at a loss. "If the boss announces in front of all his relatives and friends that I'm to be his daughter-in-law, it'll be too late!"

  "Have you seen Lu Yitang?" asked the Holy Lord.

  Tang Lin shook her head, "Never seen it!"

  "Then let's go find him now and make things clear!" With that, Yu Sheng Jun took Tang Lin's hand and left the side hall.

  They arrived at the entrance of the east wing, just about to go in, when they were stopped again by that servant. "My young master is not in the east wing!"

  "What about him? Where did he go?"

  The servant shook his head, "Young master's whereabouts have always been unpredictable, and we servants aren't very clear either! He might be in the front yard, you can go take a look!"

  Yu Shengjun and Tang Lin had no choice but to head towards the front yard.

  There were many people in the front yard, and at the gate, more people kept coming in.

  Yu Sheng Jun and Tang Lin walked to the front hall door, took a peek inside, saw a group of old men, not a single young man in sight, except for the maids serving tea and water.

  A maidservant came out at this time and was pulled by the Holy Lord to the side of the door. He asked, "Where is the young master of your house?"

  The maid shook her head, "I don't know!"

  At this time, Lu Wenliu walked towards Tang Lin with a smile on his face. When he reached in front of Tang Lin, for a moment, he couldn't change his tone and called out to Tang Lin, "Sister-in-law!"

  Suddenly, Tang Lin's eyes widened, and her first reaction was to look at Yu Sheng Jun to see if his face had turned pale. But Yu Sheng Jun just froze, his face not pale.

  It's okay, he didn't get angry, just being stunned.

  After returning, Yu Sheng Jun furrowed his brow and stared at Tang Lin, "Sister-in-law?!"

  "Haha," apart from the silly smile and innocent expression, Tang Lin didn't know what kind of face to make towards Yu Sheng Jun anymore. Did he really think she was Lu Yi Tang's wife?

  It seems that even jumping into the Yellow River can't wash it clean now.

  "Sister-in-law, I'll go entertain Uncle and Aunt now, you take care of yourself!" With a smile, Lu Wenliu entered the hall.

  As soon as the person left, Tang Lin immediately explained to Yu Shengjun: "Shengjun, listen to me explain, there's nothing going on, it was just the boss and his daughter mentioning it, I didn't even... didn't..."

  His Majesty's eyes were fixed on hers with a hint of a smile, staring at her so intently that she felt her whole body go weak, and she didn't have the courage to explain.

  "Suddenly I remembered that I had to help Gao Ge do something, so I'll catch up with you later!" After saying that, Tang Lin ran away hastily, afraid that Yu Sheng Jun would pull her back.

  But she was no match for the speed of the Holy Lord, and her collar was grabbed from behind.

  Tang Lin was still running, his feet alternating as he moved forward, but the scenery around him hadn't changed at all.

  The holy lord walked up two steps and asked with interest: "What's the hurry to slip away?"

  Only then did Tang Lin realize she had been caught by him, she gave a dry laugh and passed it off. Immediately her face turned cold, anger brewing in her eyes, muttering: "Despicable boss, it's all your fault!"

  The noble lady loosened her collar, "If you have something to discuss with Gao, then go ahead, I'll go find Lu Yitang and clear things up!"

  "Then you find Lu Yitang, be sure to talk to him properly, remember, speak properly!" He can kill with leaves, which shows how dangerous he is. If he really fights with Lu Yitang for her sake, then Lu Yitang will be in trouble.

  After finishing her reminders, Tang Lin finally left.

  The Holy Lord smiled wryly and thought, how could she still be afraid that he would treat Lu Yiting roughly? She had already protected him, yet she said she had nothing to do with him, what kind of woman was this.

  "Lu Yitang, Lu Yitang, where are you? It's your business that you passed the imperial examination as a top scorer, but my empress will never be your wife!" Yu Shengjun muttered to himself, looking around for any suspicious characters. Suddenly, a voice flashed in his mind...

  "Sorry!"

  That's right! The person I bumped into at the East Wing entrance was him!

  That silver silhouette!

  The holy lord looked around in the crowd again and found that there were people wearing silver clothes, but most of them were older people, not a single young man in his twenties.

  Unable to find Lu Yitang, Yu Shengjun walked towards the path in the back garden.

  Tang Lin found Gao Ge, directly took Gao Ge into the kitchen, then handed over the cake that had been made and simply packaged to Gao Ge, "This is the gift you gave to Lu Wenliu, give it in front of the boss!"

  "What else should I do besides this?"

  Tang Lin thought for a moment, then motioned for Gao Ge to lean in closer, "You do what I say, first..."

  ——

  The Back Garden of Lu's Mansion.

  The Holy Emperor passed by and saw Fu Yu Shu sitting alone by the lotus pond, picking up stones from the ground and throwing them into the pond one by one, with a heavy heart.

  But he just took a glance at Fu Yu Shu's back and then left.

  Fu Yushu looked at the beautiful lotus flowers in the pond, his eyes were complex and sorrowful, and he couldn't help but say, "Lotus, I'm not worthy of being a father to children, I'm not worthy..."

  "Fu Da Ge," Han Xueyan saw Fu Yushu from afar and walked towards him.

  Fu Yushu's emotions flashed away, and when Han Xueyan walked up to him, his eyes returned to normal, calm and peaceful. "Xue Yan brothers, the front yard is lively, why not go to the front yard?"

  Han Xueyin irritably said: "I'm not in the mood!" As she spoke, she sat down beside Fu Yushu.

  Fu Yushu asked with concern: "What's wrong?"

  Han Xueyan hugged her legs, her eyes gazing wistfully at the scenery on the lotus pond. "I miss my sister and brother-in-law. Thinking of how I'm living a life with three meals a day, what kind of life are they leading now?"

  Fu Yushu asked: "Don't you know whether they are doing well or not?"

  Han Xue shook her head, "I don't know, because I haven't seen them for several years. They said they would come to the capital once, but they never came back until now!"

  Looking at Han Xueyan's moving appearance, I didn't want to care about her affairs too much. But Fu Yushu unexpectedly went against his will and said: "I have a wide range of connections in the imperial capital... Brother Xue Yan, tell me your sister's and brother-in-law's names, and I'll keep an eye on them for you!"

  "Really?" Han Xue's eyes widened as she stared at Fu Yushu.

  Fu Yushu smiled lightly and nodded: "Hmm!"

  Han Xueyuan burst into tears and laughed, "Thank you!" Then she said her sister's and brother-in-law's names, "My sister is Han Lingying, my brother-in-law is Shao Qi!"

  Upon hearing this, Fu Yushu's eyes narrowed slightly, and he subtly turned his head to the side, not letting Han Xueyan see his expression. With a serious tone, he repeated two names: "Han Lingying, Shao Qi, could it be..."

  At this time, a voice from the servant came from not far behind the two of them, "Two young masters, our young master and miss's birthday banquet has begun, please go to the front yard!"

  Fu Yushu stood up and went to the front yard with Han Xueyan.

  A spacious front yard with many tables set up from the hall all the way to the entrance.

  The tables were already filled with people.

  The dishes on the table were truly luxurious.

  At some point, Tang Lin, Yu Sheng Jun, and Yu Zi Chen were already seated together at a table. When Lu Baiwan was speaking to everyone at the entrance of the hall, Han Xueyan and Fu Yushu finally came over to sit down.

  Lu Baiwan stood at the entrance of the hall, his daughter Lu Wenliu standing beside him, but there was no sign of his son.

  "Everyone, today is the birthday of my two children. At the same time, we are also celebrating our son's success in becoming a top scholar and inviting all relatives and friends to join us!" Looking around, he wanted to introduce his son to everyone, but couldn't see his son's figure, which was somewhat strange. He asked his daughter, "Liu'er, where is your brother?"

  Lu Wenliu shook her head and replied: "Dad, I haven't seen brother's face all day!" Snow fell silently.

  "Old Master——" At this time, a servant hastily ran in from outside the door, as if he had an urgent matter to bring up.

  Lu Baiwan had a premonition that something bad was going to happen. His eyebrows furrowed slightly as he asked the servant, "What's so urgent?"
