Travel through troubled times and escape famine with the system

In the council chamber, Lu You sat upright in the main seat, as if facing a formidable enemy.

Lu You was actually unsure how to respond to Su Muying's sudden visit.

Or rather...

She couldn't be sure of her feelings for Zuo Yunfeng at all.

Zuo Yunfeng is handsome, passionate, chivalrous, and comes from an outstanding family.

It can be said that apart from his drinking habits and his tendency to act foolishly, Zuo Yunfeng has no other flaws.

Lu You has only ever seen people like that in those mindless fantasy dramas.

Although she has lived two lives, she is still just a young girl not yet twenty.

Having come into this world and met such a person, how could she not have feelings?

On the other hand, Lu You remained calm.

Her experiences and her scientific thinking both told her that the chances of being with Zuo Yunfeng were extremely slim.

This is not only because of the class differences in feudal society, but more importantly because she is not from here at all!

Because of the system's existence, Lu You was quite certain that behind her transmigration, there must be someone manipulating everything.

She didn't know the other person's purpose in bringing her here, nor did she know when she would disappear.

This uncertainty about the future made her afraid to make any plans for it.

Lu You has memories of two people in her mind, but the one that dominates is that of the college student from the 21st century.

Even now, Lu You still hopes that one day she can return to that blue planet in the solar system and return to the land of China with its more than 5,000 years of brilliant civilization.

Therefore, she was extremely wary of every blade of grass and every tree in this alien world.

She was afraid of having too many ties, of falling in love with this place, of truly becoming part of this world, and of the flesh-and-blood people here eroding her will to return home.

The first time she and Zuo Yunfeng ambushed bandits, she was seriously injured, and Zuo Yunfeng carried her for more than ten miles along the mountain road.

She was moved.

Lu You calmed down and attributed her rapid heartbeat to the adrenaline rush from killing someone for the first time.

When Zuo Yunfeng left Jianhe County and decided to go to Ningguan, he left her with a limerick.

She was moved.

Lu You carefully put away the poem, attributing her longing to the friendship with Zuo Yunfeng who saved her life.

When Zuo Yunfeng and she were guarding Qingzhou City together, they fought side by side, battling fiercely against the Jin warriors.

She was moved.

But then she learned of Lu Ming's death, and the overwhelming grief in her heart overwhelmed and destroyed everything.

When Duanmu Rong found Lu You, Zuo Yunfeng originally intended to return to Liangzhou alone, but because he was worried about Lu You's safety, he chose to continue protecting her and traveling with her.

She was moved.

However, she used teasing others to accumulate negative emotional points as a shield, attributing her feelings for Zuo Yunfeng to the suspension bridge effect that occurred when her life was threatened.

Lu You has always been aware of her own feelings, but she has been using various excuses to avoid them.

Even now, with Su Muying having paid her a visit, she remains incredibly conflicted.

Lu You sent Mingcui and Bingqin to personally greet her because they came from the Imperial Household Department and were most knowledgeable about etiquette and manners.

The Su family controlled the silk business in Liangzhou, making them not only wealthy and powerful, but also a family of scholars and literati.

Although Lu You was conflicted, she deliberately avoided expressing her feelings for Zuo Yunfeng.

But when facing Su Muying, she didn't want to be impolite and let the other party look down on her because of these trivial matters.

Sitting in the council chamber, Lu You took several deep breaths in the hope of calming her mind, but she became increasingly restless.

Finally, Mingcui's voice came from outside the council chamber.

"Miss Su, this way please."

coming!

The moment she heard Mingcui's voice, Luyou looked up at the door.

In the west passageway of the second courtyard, Ming Cui and Bing Qin led Su Muying and the others in.

People say that anxiety and fear come from the unknown, but when Lu You saw Mingcui leading people over, she felt relieved.

She stood up, straightened her clothes, and took a step forward, all the distracting thoughts in Lu You's mind vanishing.

"Miss Su, it is an honor to have you here. I apologize for not being able to greet you properly."

Lu You greeted them at the door, and as they entered the courtyard, she smiled and clasped her hands in greeting.

When Mingcui and Bingqin saw Lu You coming out to greet them, they nodded in unison and quietly parted to the left and right to make room for the people behind them.

There were four people behind the two of them. Apart from Zuo Yunfeng and his sister Zuo Xuan'er, there were only two women left.

One of the two women, dressed in a light green dress, followed closely behind, carrying a stack of gift boxes in her hands; she was clearly a maid.

Needless to say, Su Muying could only be the one walking in front.

Lu You observed intently, and after just one glance, she couldn't look away.

Pretty!

Besides those two words, Lu You couldn't think of any other words to describe Su Muying in front of her.

The girl had a face as beautiful as jade, skin as white as snow, deep and bright eyes like stars in the night sky, and a slight smile on her red lips, just like the warm spring sun.

She wore a light blue brocade cloak, but it couldn't completely conceal her slender figure. Her long, black hair was gently tied up with a ribbon and hung straight down to her waist.

Simple, clean, and elegant!

"Miss Lu, you flatter me."

Su Muying bowed in return.

"When I was in Liangzhou, I heard about Miss Lu's heroic feat of defeating the Jin army and protecting Qingzhou Prefecture, and I admired her greatly."

"I heard from Xuan'er yesterday that Miss Lu was at the Guan residence, so I couldn't resist coming to pay my respects and get to know her."

"I have not sent a formal invitation before, so I am quite abrupt today. I hope Miss Lu will not take offense."

As she spoke, Su Muying gently waved her right hand.

After he stood up, the maidservant quickly stepped forward, cupped her hands, and held up the gift box she was carrying.

"Miss Su, what is the meaning of this?" Although Lu You understood that these were gifts for her, she still asked out of politeness.

Upon hearing this, Su Muying bowed again.

"It's already impolite of you to come uninvited and bother me like this, so how could I possibly come empty-handed?"

"Although this is not much, it represents the Su family's goodwill. Please do not refuse it, Miss Lu."

"Miss Su, what are you saying?" Lu You said with a smile, "Zuo Yunfeng and I have been through thick and thin together, this is a bond forged in life and death."

“You are Zuo Yunfeng’s fiancée, so we are family. Why would I pretend to push your feelings away? That would only make us seem distant.”

As Lu You uttered these words, Zuo Yunfeng and the others beside him all wore strange expressions.

Although Lu You spoke of herself in every sentence, she was actually implying that Su Muying did not consider her one of her own, and that giving gifts was just a pretense.

This is clearly saying that Su Muying has a narrow mind!

Lu You had intended to test Su Muying's reaction, but to her surprise, Su Muying smiled and nodded after hearing her words, without showing the slightest displeasure.

This little girl is really good at maintaining her composure!

Seeing Su Muying like this, Lu You turned to look at Ming Cui beside her.

"Bring me a pot of water. I want to make tea for Miss Su myself!"

After saying this, Lu You stepped aside.

"Miss Su, please!"
