Chapter 320: Chapter 320 This Person... Also Looks Too Handsome!_1

...

The next day, not long after An Jing and Xiao Changyi had finished breakfast, someone knocked on the courtyard door. An Jing happened to be in the courtyard, so she conveniently walked over to open the door.

As soon as she opened the door, she saw a tall man in rough clothes standing at the entrance of the courtyard, his face covered with a beard and his phoenix eyes wide open, giving him a very ferocious look.

An Jing was surprised to see that the man had a pair of extremely beautiful phoenix eyes, but it was a pity that these eyes were now too widely opened, ruining their natural beauty.

”Madam!” Upon seeing her, the man greeted her with a fist in palm, bowed his head, knelt on one knee, and showed her extreme respect with a very rough voice.

An Jing instantly knew that this person must be Meng Zhuqing’s brother, Meng Lanqing.

”Come in,” An Jing said, stepping aside to let Meng Lanqing in.

Meng Lanqing remained kneeling on the ground, maintaining an extremely respectful posture.

An Jing looked up at the sky, then turned and walked towards her husband, who was standing at the entrance of the main hall.

Only then did Meng Lanqing dare to raise his head, stand up, enter the door, and even closed the courtyard door behind him.

Upon seeing Xiao Changyi, Meng Lanqing paid his respects again: ”My lord!”

Seeing Meng Lanqing kneel again, An Jing looked silently toward the sky. There were indeed many tedious formalities.

Xiao Changyi remained silent.

Meng Lanqing continued to kneel.

After a long while, Xiao Changyi finally said, ”Meng Lanqing.”

Meng Lanqing immediately responded respectfully with a loud voice, ”Here at your command!”

Xiao Changyi once again said, ”Meng Lanqing.”

An Jing: ”...” My lord, he already heard you, there’s no need to call again...

This time, Meng Lanqing did not respond, but instead bowed his head a little lower, gripped his fisted hand tighter, appearing to be restraining something.

”Meng, Lan, Qing,” Xiao Changyi articulated every syllable slowly, his tone calm, yet filled with danger, like the calm before a storm.

Meng Lanqing immediately replied, ”At your command!”

An Jing: ”...” What command? Did her husband say anything?

Just when An Jing was very confused, she saw Meng Lanqing’s fisted hand relax, and then he began to peel off his beard from around his ears.

As she watched the beard being slowly peeled off by Meng Lanqing, An Jing finally understood. It turned out that the beard was fake.

It was her first time seeing him, and he had disguised himself to prevent her from knowing his true face, no wonder her husband was angry.

After peeling off the beard, Meng Lanqing stood up, walked quickly to the water vat in the courtyard, scooped up some water, and boldly washed his face. Then, while wiping his face with his sleeve, he quickly walked back, resumed his respectful kneeling posture.

”Head,” Xiao Changyi said with just one word.

Meng Lanqing immediately lifted his head.

Then, An Jing was stunned. This person... was also quite handsome!

Even more beautiful than a woman.

Phoenix eyes, a straight nose, red lips, pale skin... Looking just at the face, one could definitely mistake him for a woman.

Seeing An Jing staring intently at his face, Meng Lanqing dared not lower his head, and instead closed his eyes, displaying a demeaned appearance.

An Jing: ”...” I didn’t do anything to him, why is he acting like this...

At this moment, Xiao Changyi said indifferently, ”He is considered the foremost beauty in the military.”

Meng Lanqing’s expression instantly became even more pained, as if he had received an even greater insult.

An Jing: ”...”

After a long moment, An Jing quietly asked her husband, ”My lord, why is he acting like this? Being good-looking—” isn’t that a good thing?

But before she could finish her sentence, hearing the word ”good-looking,” Meng Lanqing suddenly opened his eyes, with an expression as if saying ’you might as well kill me.’

An Jing: ”...”
