Tong Huaqiong didn't hide Jingzhe and Lu Zhaozhao's engagement from the village.
Almost immediately after Tong Huaqiong set off for Qinghe Bay, word spread throughout the village that Jingzhe was to be engaged to Miss Lu of the Imperial Merchant Lu Family.
Some people weren't familiar with the Imperial Merchant Lu Family, but once Huang Yuanwai's familial connection was mentioned, everyone understood.
At this time, everyone in Qinghe Bay knew that Jingzhe's brother-in-law, Huang Yuanwai's son-in-law, had clinched the Champion Scholar title.
Many in Qinghe Bay had seen Lu Zhaozhao, and they couldn't help but feel a twinge of jealousy that Jingzhe could be connected to such a beautiful young lady.
But since Zhao Yang became the Champion Scholar, everyone's envy had faded.
Such an achievement was truly unattainable.
A brother-in-law of this caliber deserved the title of Champion Scholar.
Tong Huaqiong, upon returning to the village, smelled a faint lemon scent in the air.
