The arrogant little husband is desperately flirting with the hunter

"Brother Xiao, it's time to eat." Zhao Guizhi had prepared the meal, and Yan Sanmei came in with a bowl of rice porridge and handed it to Lu Chengxue. There were two men at home, so it was not convenient to ask her to go out to eat with them.

Chu Xiao responded and followed his third sister to the main room. The air was filled with the aroma of cooking.

In addition to chicken soup today, Zhao Guizhi also fried bamboo shoots and steamed a bowl of egg custard and placed it directly in front of Chu Xiao.

Chu Xiao looked at the big bowl of egg custard in front of him and didn't know what to say. He picked up the spoon and scooped a spoonful into each person's bowl.

"Don't share it. This is steamed specially for you. Your complexion is not much better than the one in the room. You need to take good care of it." Zhao Guizhi snatched the spoon from Chu Xiao's hand and scooped spoonful after spoonful into Chu Xiao's bowl.

"That's enough to eat."

Chu Xiao was very hungry, but after eating so many fruits, his stomach felt a little sour. He naturally didn't eat much rice, but he still finished all the egg custard.

After dinner, Yan Zhenshen asked Chu Xiao to go back to his room to rest, and as for Lu Chengxue, he asked his third sister to take care of her.

Chu Xiao was indeed exhausted. He yawned and fell asleep after lying on the kang for a while. He woke up again in the second half of the night. He looked at the man sleeping next to him, got up, sat cross-legged, and entered a meditative state. He had to recover as soon as possible.

Not long after breakfast the next day, Lu Zhicheng came to Yan's house again on horseback. He first changed Yan Zhenshen's clothes and took some supplements.

"I went to ask around and found out that Miss Lu was going to marry Mr. Liu in the city. She set out early in the morning because the journey was long. Unexpectedly, she jumped into the river not long after she walked away. Now both the Liu Mansion and Liujia Village are looking for her."

"If they come looking for us, we have to return her." Zhao Guizhi said with a sad face: "This good girl was sold to be a concubine. Isn't this a waste of her?"

Chu Xiao was much calmer: "Uncle, since you already know about this, could you help me think of a solution?"

Lu Zhicheng frowned, "Just tell me what you think."

"I asked Miss Cheng yesterday, she just doesn't want to be a concubine, she doesn't mind marrying a peddler or a peasant, I thought you know a lot of people in the military camp, I wonder if there is anyone with good character and decent family background, can you introduce one to me."

"Ah?" Lu Zhicheng hugged the girl yesterday, and he kept thinking about her when he went home last night. However, he couldn't just come out and say that he would take responsibility, as that would be a bit coercive.

He originally thought that if the Lu family's parents insisted on forcing their daughter to become a concubine, then he would have no choice but to take people to the yamen.

Although there were many people who sold their children in the past few years, that was because they could not make ends meet and the people did not report it and the officials did not investigate. However, the Lu family lived a good life, and Miss Lu was forced to jump into the river. Even if the charges were not too severe, beating her with dozens of boards would be enough as a minor punishment.

No matter how low his rank was, he was at least a sixth-rank cavalry lieutenant, and he had no say in front of the prefect, but he was the highest-ranking official in Anning Town.

Special cases require special treatment, and it is not wrong to use power to pressure people.

"Are you really planning to just marry someone casually?" Lu Zhicheng had inquired about Lu Chengxue. With her talent and family background, marrying a scholar or a juren would be a good match for her.

He glanced at the four men squatting at the door eating fruit and felt a little tired. None of these soldiers was worthy of the girl from the Lu family.

"What can I do?" Chu Xiao sighed: "I would like to find a younger uncle for Miss Lu, but where can I find one?"

"Me?" Lu Zhicheng's face turned red. He was not young anymore and his father had been nagging him to get married, but he had to stay at the border most of the time and was afraid that most women would not want to suffer with him.

"Yes." Chu Xiao naturally had some thoughts in his mind when he saw Lu Zhicheng's expression. If he really didn't care, why would he ask about it, and why would he come here so early in the morning.

"The Lu family's parents are dishonest. Even if the marriage fails, they won't have a good reputation. Either they find someone powerful to suppress them, or they can only move to another place. What do you think, uncle?"

"I..." Lu Zhicheng has always been thick-skinned, but at this moment he didn't know how to start. After a long while, he managed to say, "If Miss Lu is really willing, I will do it without hesitation."

"That's good. As the saying goes, good things should be kept within the family." Although Zhao Guizhi was also concerned about his second son, he also knew that if the Lu family and that wealthy man were to pursue the matter, their family would not be able to handle it.

Not only is Lu Zhicheng an official, he is also the son of Lu Zhubu. The official would definitely not dare to offend him easily.

Chu Xiao raised a smile and winked at Yan Zhenshen who was sitting next to him.

When Lu Chengxue in the room heard the answer, her face turned red with shame. Although she was not very conscious on the way back to the Chu family, she could still vaguely see the man's appearance.

She also heard Chu Xiao say who this man was yesterday, but she didn't dare to have any other improper thoughts. She never thought that this man really agreed to marry her.

"I will repay you with my life." Yan Sanmei sat next to Lu Xue and joked, "Brother Xiao said that my uncle is a very good person. Sister Lu, you will definitely be very happy in the future."

"Third sister, don't tease me." Lu Chengxue was extremely embarrassed. She felt an indescribable feeling in her heart and wanted to find something to do. She took the sewing basket used by Yan Sanmei for sewing and embroidered a rabbit on the hem of Yan Zhenbei's torn clothes in a short while.

When the rabbit was finished, Yan Sanmei stared at it with wide eyes. It was better than her mother's. She ran out to show it to Zhao Guizhi, "This embroidery is really good. It can be so lifelike even with ordinary thread."

"Yes, my mother said that the purses she gave me have not been embroidered yet, so I will ask Miss Lu to embroider two for me later." Chu Xiao deliberately glanced at Lu Zhicheng, and couldn't help laughing when he saw that man secretly glanced at her several times.

"Nonsense again." Zhao Guizhi patted Chu Xiao, "I was busy making clothes before, so I will embroider for you in the next two days. Miss Lu needs to be taken care of, so don't let her worry."

A few people were still chatting and laughing in the yard, but they didn't expect that the man from Liujiawan would come over.

Logically speaking, Lu Chengxue was rescued without being seen by the villagers, but they carelessly hung the bright red wedding dress on the railing to dry and it was seen.

Liujiawan was not far from here, and he was familiar with the villagers, so naturally he found out the answer as soon as he asked.

When they heard that Doctor Yu had indeed come to diagnose a woman's pulse, within a day Lu's parents came with their relatives and Mr. Liu's servants.

This huge group of people came into the village. Even though they had work to do in the fields, some people just loved to watch the fun. Soon the Yan family was surrounded by people, just like the last time when Li Xiulan came to force a marriage.

Seeing this, Lu Zhicheng smiled helplessly: "I haven't bothered them yet, but they came to me on their own."

Then he ordered his men to invite the county magistrate over. Since the person had come to his doorstep, he would just conduct the trial in front of everyone.

"Tell Miss Lu not to be afraid. I will take care of it." Lu Zhicheng said something to Chu Xiao and strode out of the yard.

"I am a sixth-rank cavalry general. I wonder why you have mobilized so many troops?"

General?

"This is the deputy general of Marquis Zunyuan. He doesn't even show courtesy when he sees you, my Lord." One of Lu Zhicheng's men shouted loudly. No matter whether they came to ask for someone or to watch the fun, they were all frightened and fell to their knees.

This is embarrassing. He just wanted to scare these people first to avoid unnecessary disputes. He didn't intend to make anyone kneel to him.
