In this peaceful courtyard, Meng Haowen and his brothers and Lu He stood quietly, as if surrounded by invisible silence.

The sunlight shines through the gaps in the leaves and sprinkles on their faces, making their expressions a little hazy.

Their eyes were focused on the center of the courtyard, as if looking for an answer, or waiting for a signal.

Meng Haowen's hands were behind his back, with a thoughtful expression on his face, his eyes were deep and bright, like twinkling stars in the night sky, and the corners of his mouth had a hint of stubbornness, like a determination to not flinch in the face of difficulties and challenges.

Green Lotus stood beside him, her figure slender, like a willow tree in spring.

Her long hair shone golden in the sunlight, and her eyes stared ahead, like the brightness of the sky reflected on the surface of a lake.

Her lips were slightly open, as if waiting for something, or thinking about some far-reaching question.

Meng Haowu stood opposite them, looking at the two people in front of him, countless doubts flashed in his heart.

For a moment, there was complete silence in the courtyard.

Only the sound of the breeze blowing through the leaves, and the singing of birds in the distance.

The three of them stood, their eyes meeting together, as if they were silently communicating some deep emotions and thoughts.

In the antique courtyard, Meng Haowen walked towards Meng Haowu lightly, and his eyes revealed a trace of imperceptible worry.

He spoke softly, "Haowu, take a step to speak, and discuss something."

Meng Haowu was a burly man, and when he heard Meng Haowen's words, his face changed slightly, but he quickly regained his composure.

He smiled and said to Meng Haowen, "Okay, please come with me."

The two walked into a secluded corner, surrounded by beautiful scenery, ancient trees and flowers.

They stopped, facing the pond and rockery, with their backs to the winding corridor.

The atmosphere here is calm and peaceful, which is in stark contrast to their mood at the moment.

Meng Haowen took a deep breath and said in a low voice, "Haowu, what I want to tell you is, can you not always embarrass Green Lotus?"

Meng Haowu frowned, and his expression was serious: "What is embarrassed? Eldest brother? Could it be that you really hurt our brotherhood for the sake of such a woman?"

Meng Haowen hesitated for a moment, and then said slowly: "No, listen to me, as a big brother, I believe that I haven't done anything to hurt you all along, this time, even if the eldest brother asks you, do you think it's good?"

Meng Haowu was silent for a moment after hearing this, then turned to look at Meng Haowen, and said with a firm look in his eyes, "Big brother, some things can't be compared, do you understand?"

Meng Haowen nodded: "I understand what you mean, but this matter is really ......."

Meng Haowu, burly, with eyes like torches, stared at Meng Haowen tightly.

There was no expression on his face, as if it was a cold stone sculpture, making it impossible to peek into his inner thoughts.

Meng Haowen faced Meng Haowu's gaze, he was a little uncomfortable, but he didn't dare to show it easily.

The two stood aside, Meng Haowen broke the silence, his voice trembling a little, "I... I still want to talk to you."

Meng Haowu didn't speak, just continued to stare at him, as if waiting for the next step.

His gaze was like two sharp swords, silently piercing into Meng Haowen's heart.

Meng Haowen took a deep breath, "It's... It's that I can't stop you, I know. His voice was a little hoarse, as if he was under a lot of pressure inside."

However, Meng Haowu still did not respond.

His silence was like an invisible pressure, making Meng Haowen more and more uneasy.

However, he still stubbornly continued, "I didn't tell you about this in advance, and I still hope you don't mind what I do."

Hearing this, the corners of Meng Haowu's mouth twitched slightly, as if he wanted to laugh, but he couldn't.

His gaze revealed a complex of emotions, including anger, sadness, and a subtle hint of forgiveness.

"You know what? I used to think we were the closest people, but what you did gave me chills." Meng Haowu's voice was flat, but it was full of deep pain.

"I know, I'll make amends." Meng Haowen's voice was full of determination, and his gaze was firmly on Meng Haowu."

Meng Haowu was silent for a moment, "I hope so." He said lightly.

Meng Haowen took a deep breath, he knew that what he was about to say might change the relationship between himself and Meng Haowu, and it might also complicate the relationship between him and Lu He.

However, he decided to call a spade a lie because he believed that only honesty could make things simple.

He turned to Meng Haowu, looked him into the eyes, and said in a deep and firm voice, "Meng Haowu, I must tell you, I fell in love with the green lotus."

His heart was racing, but he forced himself to remain calm, he hoped that Meng Haowu would understand his feelings, but at the same time, he was also prepared to face possible conflicts.

Meng Haowu was obviously shocked by this sudden confession.

Mixed emotions flashed across his face, but in the end, he chose a calm acceptance.

He looked at Meng Haowen, and a hint of understanding and kindness flashed in his eyes.

"I see, big brother." He said softly, "It's not easy, but I'll respect your decision."

Meng Haowen breathed a sigh of relief.

He knew it was a good start.

He thanked Meng Haowu for his understanding and support, and then they moved on.

Meng Haowu's face showed deep shock and fear, and his gaze shifted from Meng Haowen's face to his own hand, and then back to Meng Haowen's face, as if trying to accept this incredible reality.

His elder brother, Meng Haowen, said something that shocked him, and even a little incredulous.

Meng Haowu's heart was chaotic, he was confused by Meng Haowen's words, it was a sense of betrayal between brothers, it was a deep rift between relatives.

He couldn't understand why his brother, whom he had always regarded as a role model and guide, would say such a thing.

His eyes were full of disappointment and doubt, this was his deepest sore spot, it was a blow he had never thought of. He looked at Meng Haowen as if he knew him for the first time, and his eyes revealed deep horror and unspeakable pain.

Meng Haowu's eyes flashed with a hint of firmness and determination, he took a deep breath, then looked directly at Meng Haowen, and said, "Brother, I have something to tell you."

Meng Haowen looked at his younger brother's serious expression, and was slightly stunned in his heart, and he motioned for Meng Haowu to continue.

Meng Haowu paused, organized his words, and then said firmly, "I don't agree with Green Lotus becoming your wife." His voice was resolute, without the slightest hint of backing down.

Meng Haowen was obviously taken aback by his younger brother's words, he was stunned, and he didn't know how to respond for a while.

He looked at his brother's determined eyes, and a complex emotion surged in his heart.

Meng Haowu looked at his brother's reaction, and felt a little unbearable in his heart, but he knew that this was something he had to say.

He took a deep breath and continued, "Brother, I know you may think I'm selfish, but I just don't want to see our family break up because of this."

When Meng Haowen heard this, the shock in his heart slowly subsided, and he looked at his younger brother, a trace of understanding flashed in his eyes. He nodded and said, "I understand your thoughts, brother. I'll seriously consider it."

Meng Haowen didn't know whether he should continue to say anything, but he was very conflicted in his heart.

Didn't he already express his understanding just now?

How could such a thing be said now?

Meng Haowu felt the indignation in his heart, like a flame burning in his chest.

He shook his arm hard, it was an outpouring of strong emotion, expressing his inner anger and dissatisfaction.

He turned and faced the courtyard, a place of pain and frustration, and he didn't want to stay for a moment.

Meng Haowu stood in front of Green Lotus with sharp eyes.

His figure looked even more burly in the sun, like a fierce tiger from the deep mountains, and his eyes, which were originally plain, revealed a deep anger and determination at this moment.

He stopped and glared fiercely at the green lotus.

His eyes were like two blazing coals, burning with angry flames, and his hands were clenched into fists, and every knuckle seemed so tight that it seemed to squeeze out anger and determination together.

There was a cold glint in his eyes, and it was the way he looked at his prey, a decisive look.

His gaze was like two sharp swords, piercing into the depths of Green Lotus's heart, leaving her with nowhere to escape.

Under Meng Haowu's gaze, Green Lotus felt as if he was being pressed by a big mountain and couldn't move.

His gaze was so intense that she couldn't look at it directly, so she could only lower her head to avoid the fierce gaze.

At this moment, Meng Haowu was like a furious lion, staring at his prey, ready to launch a final attack.

His eyes made Green Lotus feel unprecedented pressure and fear.

He strode to the door, each step representing his determination and firmness.

His back looked firm and lonely in the sunlight, and his eyes were like a knife, with a kind of determination and decisiveness.

His figure gradually lengthened in the sunlight and then disappeared in the doorway. As he left, the atmosphere in the courtyard seemed to become cold and empty.

Meng Haowu stopped at the exit of the courtyard.

His eyes were deep and determined, and a strong momentum emanated from him.

He glared at the stone in the doorway, the lifeless gray stone, but now it became a thorn in his eye.

He took a step and stepped over to the stone, grabbing the edge of the stone with both hands and lifting it off the ground with all his might.

The stone seemed to have turned into a heavy object in his hands, driven by anger.

His muscles tensed, and his muscles swelled on his forehead, apparently under tremendous force.

He raised his hand, pointed the stone in front of him, and smashed it down with all his might.
