The dim back

Zhang Yulu looked at Liu Zhongqing in front of her and spoke her mind: "I am not like other women who are pedantic and think that men are the heaven for women. I want to be my own heaven."

Seeing Zhang Yulu's high-spirited look, Liu Zhongqing nodded and said, "You are indeed amazing. No wonder my father always told me to be lenient with you when he talked to me about you. Now I see that you don't need me to be lenient with you at all."

Zhang Yulu laughed, feeling that Liu Zhongqing in front of her still had some male chauvinism: "I hope we can live in peace, not let the elderly on both sides feel physically and mentally exhausted, and try our best to do everything in front of us."

Liu Zhongqing nodded: "It's just as you thought. Maybe for me, finding a sensible wife is my greatest blessing."

Zhang Yulu could tell that Liu Zhongqing was only trying to convey one meaning: "Women must be sensible and never cause trouble for men. This is your doctrine."

Liu Zhongqing was almost frightened by Zhang Yulu's words: "It has always been like this. My mother is so old, and although she is the eldest princess, when she gets along with my father, it is usually my father who makes the decisions. However, my father will accept my mother's opinions, and the two of them will respect each other like guests."

Zhang Yulu immediately began to tell Liu Zhongqing clearly: "What are you talking about? Should women follow men's opinions? If a woman respects a man, she will naturally tell him what he wants to do. Otherwise, it means that the woman does not trust her husband."

Liu Zhongqing thought it made sense: "I feel like I can't win the argument with you. Since you have so many reasons, just go ahead and do it. If anything happens, leave it to me."

Zhang Yulu feels that the current Liu Zhongqing is indeed much better than Lin Xuefeng. At least he is a responsible man. Most importantly, he is capable. He can reach the position of marquis without relying on his family. He must have some outstanding qualities.

Zhang Yulu seemed to remember something: "We haven't asked Zhang Laojiu today. Can I go with you to ask Zhang Laojiu tomorrow?"

Liu Zhongqing thought for a while and said, "It might be dangerous to do this. If you are not afraid of danger, I can let you accompany me."

After Liu Zhongqing said these words, he took out a soft sword from his waist.

He handed over the soft sword and said, "How about this, consider it as a gift from me to you. I will teach you martial arts when I have time."

Zhang Yulu felt that this was a bit exaggerated, so he sternly refused: "I am the main gate, I never leave the second gate, why do you want to teach me martial arts?"

Liu Zhongqing said confidently: "You have to practice martial arts. You have to learn to protect yourself. If I am not by your side one day and you are in danger, I will be out of reach."

Zhang Yulu felt that Liu Zhongqing was indeed thoughtful, so she said to him, "You do have some outstanding qualities. If it were someone else, they would just think about being a hero and think they can take care of the people around them. But if you think about it, no one is as capable as you."

Zhang Yulu's words were recognized by Liu Zhongqing: "If Qiu Feng was as easy to talk to as you, I would be very lucky. But no matter what I say, Qiu Feng thinks that I don't want to take care of her, so she gets angry with me."

Zhang Yulu smiled bitterly: "He really doesn't know how to enjoy his blessings. I don't think so. If someone can do this for me, I will be very grateful."

Seeing that it was getting late, Liu Zhongqing suggested to Zhang Yulu, "There are some things I don't want to talk about. Let's wait for two days. Anyway, we still need to get along for nearly half a year. I hope that in this half year, the two of us can respect each other like guests. I hope that from now on, we can have a deep understanding of each other."

Zhang Yulu agreed with this: "I think half a year is enough time for you to investigate Zhang Laojiu's affairs. I hope you can clear Qiu Feng's name so that you two can be together smoothly."

Liu Zhongqing suddenly felt a chill in his heart, but he couldn't seem to catch it, and he didn't know why.

Seeing Liu Zhongqing like this, Zhang Yulu patted Liu Zhongqing on the shoulder and said, "Why are you so depressed today? Is there something difficult going on?"

Liu Zhongqing immediately refused: "Please don't say that. I have said it many times. I should be the one protecting you. After all, I still have some rights. I will take you around tomorrow."

Seeing Liu Zhongqing's invitation, Zhang Yulu didn't take it seriously. After all, the two were an engaged couple. Even if they walked on the street, others would think they were a perfect couple.

When the two returned to Yiren Villa, Zhang Shaohua saw the two people coming in at the same time and laughed happily: "It's good to be young. Is it a different feeling to participate in the cross-flower convention?"

Liu Zhongqing nodded: "What my uncle said makes sense. We should go out for a long time. Zhang Yulu and I went out for such a long time and we had a lot of fun."

Zhang Yulu looked around: "Is Zhang Fengxue not back yet?"

Zhang Shaohua shook his head: "Didn't you leave with your sister? Why did you come back alone?"

Seeing that Zhang Shaohua was a little nervous, Zhang Yulu also became a little anxious: "I'll go out and look for it now."

Liu Zhongqing naturally wanted to talk to someone: "Wait a minute, I'll go out with you to take a look."

As soon as the two turned around and walked out of the door, they saw Yu Xiaoyao bringing Zhang Fengxue back.

When Zhang Fengxue saw her sister, there was a look of fear on her face: "I'm sorry, sister, I came back late because Brother Yu Xiaoyao took me out to eat."

Zhang Yulu looked at Yu Xiaoyao's sly smile and immediately began to sound alarm bells in her heart: "Do you know what you are doing? Why didn't you get home before dark after going out with a man you didn't know very well? Why did you come back so late?"

Zhang Fengxue looked at her sister's posture and knew that she had done something wrong. She immediately lowered her head and said timidly, "Sister, please don't be angry. I won't dare to do it again next time."

Zhang Yulu didn't give Yu Xiaoyao much face and said, "My sister is relatively young and I want to raise her at home for a few more years. You should give up your idea and don't set your sights on my sister."

Yu Xiaoyao used his trump card: "Don't forget those four paintings. I will provide you with clues."

Zhang Yulu felt that Yu Xiaoyao was threatening her, and immediately got angry: "I don't have to rely on you, I will find another way. Am I going to sacrifice my sister for a little property? Then I'm not a human being."

Yu Xiaoyao looked at Zhang Yulu's strong personality and was amazed: "You are really amazing. I really think you are a wonderful woman. You make me more interested."

Yu Xiaoyao praised Zhang Yulu so much, and Liu Zhongqing beside him became unhappy: "This is my fiancée. I hope you will look at me and take my feelings into consideration when you praise me. Be careful that I may be rude to you."

After meeting at the Flower Festival today, Yu Xiaoyao figured it out: "I am indeed not as strong as Mr. Liu, but I did tell you clearly that I am very interested in Zhang Yulu."

Yu Xiaoyao's words were undoubtedly a declaration of war. Liu Zhongqing knew it very well: "Zhang Yulu has business dealings with you. I have no objection to this matter, and I will not restrict his freedom, but I hope you don't have any bad intentions. I will keep an eye on you at all times."

Hearing Liu Zhongqing's words, Yu Xiaoyao became angry: "Don't think that your family is rich and powerful and can oppress me. Don't forget me. Our Yujiabao also has a certain status."

Yujiabao is particularly famous in the underworld.

Liu Zhongqing thought of something: "Speaking of Yujiabao, do you still remember Tianyouhaokai?"

Unexpectedly, the phrase "God will give you a good opportunity" made Yu Xiaoyao stunned in place: "How do you know all this? Are you an official appointed by the court?"

Liu Zhongqing shook his head: "Some things are not for you to ask. The only thing I can tell you now is that you should settle your life well. Other people's lives are not yours to control."

Zhang Yulu looked at Liu Zhongqing's tense look and felt that the man in front of her was more masculine: "Don't bother with this kind of villain. Let's go back first."

Zhang Shaohua also encouraged him: "Nephew Liu, let's go inside."

As Zhang Yulu walked into the house, she asked Liu Zhongqing, "What exactly is the opportunity that God wants?"

Liu Zhongqing whispered, "I only heard that it was a martial arts secret book, and I heard that it was lost in Yujiabao. It was said that it was stolen by someone at the time, and then when the house was searched, I don't know how it disappeared. This is an insult to Yujiabao."

Zhang Yulu finally understood: "For Yujiabao, shame is a shadow on them. We must find ways to forget this matter, but I'm afraid no one in the martial arts world will forget it."

Liu Zhongqing agreed: "Unless it's been a long time and no one mentions this matter, it would be too scary."

Seeing Zhang Yulu and Liu Zhongqing singing in unison, the happiest person is none other than Zhang Shaohua: "Seeing that you two are getting along so well, I will write a letter today to inform Brother Liu Xian that I hope you two can be happily married in half a year."

Zhang Fengxue beside him was a little sad: "Why is the person my sister chooses always right? Why is my father always against the person I choose?"

Zhang Shaohua frowned and said to Zhang Fengxue, "Because you are a naive child, you don't even know that Yujiabao is close. What is your purpose? You blindly agreed to it, and you don't even know that they will sell you. Just listen to your sister."

While they were talking, Aunt Fang came out of the house and said swayingly, "You're back just in time. There's watermelon in the house. Let's go in and have a bite."

Zhang Shaohua immediately invited Liu Zhongqing into the house. Liu Zhongqing really couldn't refuse: "I have already eaten a lot, so I will sit down and talk with you for a while."

Zhang Yulu looked at Liu Zhongqing, who looked tired, and said to his father directly: "Say something cheerful. Liu Zhongqing is very tired today."

Seeing the scene in front of him, Zhang Shaohua laughed out loud: "Girls really can't be kept when they grow up. Before they even get married, they are already leaning towards their future husbands. But Dad is very satisfied with this performance."

Zhang Yulu did not look shy, after all, it was in the past. Zhang Yulu remembered that when he was writing the novel, the protagonist himself was thick-skinned and could easily resolve the situation no matter how Qiu Feng scolded him.

Zhang Yulu hopes that she will not be like the person in the book. After all, she still has to save some face.

Liu Zhongqing felt embarrassed: "Uncle Zhang and his wife should live in harmony. We are also adapting to life in advance. I hope that we can be happy after we get married."

Liu Zhongqing's words were flawless, and Zhang Shaohua nodded: "Since Mr. Liu doesn't mind, I have no objection either."

As they talked, several people walked into the house. Fang Yining took the lead and handed the largest piece of watermelon to Liu Zhongqing.

Zhang Fengxue next to him got angry: "Auntie is biased. In the past, it was always me who got the watermelon. Since Brother Liu came, he took my place."

Hearing Zhang Fengxue say this, Liu Zhongqing immediately handed over the watermelon in his hand: "Since you like it, then sister, eat more. If it's not enough, I'll go out and buy some more."

Zhang Fengxue also felt that he had gone too far. After all, what had just happened with Yu Xiaoyao really made Zhang Fengxue very angry: "Brother Liu, everything you do is right? You will be praised by everyone."

No one knows a daughter better than her father. Zhang Shaohua certainly knew what Zhang Fengxue meant: "You'd better listen to your sister. Yu Xiaoyao has always coveted our family. Don't blame me for not telling you. I won't agree to this marriage."

Seeing her father so angry, Zhang Yulu persuaded him, "Come and eat watermelon, this matter is still a long way to go."

Everyone in Yiren Villa was eating watermelon. Yu Xiaoyao rushed back to the inn at this time. When his attendants saw Yu Xiaoyao, they hurried over and said, "Master, is it true that the West Sea Dragon Pearl cannot be found? If there is no West Sea Dragon Pearl, Madam may not live long."

Hearing what his followers said, Yu Xiaoyao panicked a little and quickly ran upstairs.

Seeing his ex-wife lying on the bed, his heart kept beating: "What happened to you? Didn't your condition improve a few days ago? Why are you like this now?"

Yu Cailian laughed and said, "I have been a child bride since I was young. I feel very lucky to be able to marry you. Now please don't embarrass yourself for my sake."

Yu Xiaoyao immediately shook his head: "If you are gone, what's the point of me having so many things?"

Yu Cailian began to cough and spat out a mouthful of blood. Yu Xiaoyao was not afraid of the dirt, and immediately took the handkerchief beside him and started wiping it.

After Yu Cailian stopped coughing, she said sickly, "It's better not to trouble others. The West Sea Dragon Pearl is only in Yiren Villa. How can you get it so easily?"

Yu Xiaoyao's eyes were blazing with anger: "I agree to marry Zhang Fengxue, so that the West Sea Dragon Pearl can be brought as a dowry."
