It's good to exchange marriages. My sister eats coarse food while I wear gold and silver.

"Xiaoyue, get up first, I'll save you..."

"If General Lu doesn't agree, I won't get up." Ya Yue shook her head, tears falling. "From the moment you saved me, I was your woman. General Lu, I don't want fame or a rich life. I just hope to stay by your side and serve you."

"There's something wrong with what you said."

Seeing Lu Sui's eyes begging for help, Yuan Buwei spoke up: "You don't want status or a rich life, so why do you want to be his woman? To have him worship you and burn three incense sticks for you every day?"

Her words instantly eased the tense atmosphere in the room.

Lu Sui also breathed a sigh of relief. When he heard Xiaoyue's words just now, his heart almost jumped out of his throat.

He has saved countless people, but has never met a woman with the same thoughts as Xiaoyue.

Just as Avi said.

She is suspicious.

"General Lu is a son of genius, while I am just an orphan of humble status and without a father or a mother. How dare I have any improper thoughts about General Lu?" Ya Yue sobbed and looked at Lu Sui pitifully, hoping to arouse his sympathy for her, so that he would soften his heart and let her stay.

"Miss Yayue, what you said is wrong again. You want to be his woman. If this is not unreasonable, do you want to be his stepmother?"

"puff……"

Yun Ling and Li Yan, who were standing behind Yuan Buwei, looked at each other and almost couldn't hold back.

"I just want to stay with General Lu and take care of him." Ya Yue hugged Lu Sui's broken gun, and said miserably, "General Lu, please don't chase me away. I was halfway through the journey and spent all the money I brought with me. I begged all the way here, and met many men who wanted to do something bad to me. Fortunately, I ran fast, otherwise I would not be able to keep my innocence."

"If you stay, not only will we have to provide you with food and lodging, but we will also have to pay you a monthly salary. Besides, you look so thin that you don't meet the employment standards of the Wanning Marquis' Mansion." Yayue has been using her weakness to arouse Lu Sui's sympathy. Yuan Buwei will not indulge such a dangerous person. "Considering that it is not easy for you to come all the way to deliver the broken gun to the young marquis, Yunling, go to the account office to withdraw 200 taels of silver, and then prepare some daily necessities, bedding, clothes and so on. Inform Butler Ye to go to the best inn in the capital to open a room. Miss Yayue, you go to the inn first. When you have rested well, I will arrange someone to escort you home. 200 taels of silver is enough for you to buy a small courtyard in the local area and do some small business."

"I'm already an illegal resident in the local area, and as a girl, I'm sure people will want to take advantage of me with so much money and so many things." Yayue seemed to realize that the person who really made the decision was Yuan Buwei, and immediately turned around and knelt in front of her, "Madam General Lu, I have only one worthless life, and I just want to repay General Lu's kindness. You are so generous and you have a kind heart. Please let me stay and take care of General Lu. In the future, you can let me do any dirty or heavy work. I am not afraid of hardship and I will not complain."

No matter what, always keep your goal clear and never give up.

Yuan Buwei knew what was going on. She sighed and pretended to be in a difficult situation. "Whether you can stay or not is not up to the young marquis or me. My mother-in-law is a person who cannot tolerate any grain of sand in her eyes. In addition, something happened in the Wanning Marquis's Mansion recently. We must not make any mistakes, lest we be caught. If that happens, you will not only lose your life but also not enjoy this blessing."

"I'm not afraid. As long as I can stay and take care of General Lu, even if God really wants my life one day, I will be willing." Yayue thought that her words moved Yuan Buwei, and immediately kowtowed several times, "Madam General Lu, I promise that I will be obedient and I will never cause any trouble for you."

Yuan Buwei didn't answer, but just looked at Lu Sui.

There was doubt in Lu Sui's eyes: Do you want to keep her?

Yuan Buwei smiled and answered silently: She is coming for you, so express your opinion.

Lu Sui: ...

If he could go back in time to the day when he met Xiaoyue, he would rather throw the jade pendant into the toilet than give it to her.

"Li Yan, find Butler Ye and ask him to clean up a room in the backyard."

Ya Yue heard the voice coming from behind and ran to the bed with joy on her face: "General Lu, do you agree that I can stay?"

"Ah."

Lu Sui nodded and smiled softly: "I thought about it, it's not easy for a little girl like you, just stay here for now, and later..."

"General Lu, I know I don't know anything, but I can learn. As long as I can serve you and see you stand up, I will be satisfied." Yayue wiped the tears from her face and stroked the jade pendant. "General Lu, can I keep this jade pendant?"

"Since I've given it to you, you should keep it."

"Thank you, General Lu. You are so kind." Ya Yue cried with joy and wanted to touch Lu Sui's hand. But when she stretched out her hand halfway, she looked at Yuan Buwei in panic: "Madam General Lu, I'm sorry, I just want to confirm whether General Lu's hands can move. I don't mean anything else."

"Miss Yayue, do I look scary?"

"No, no." Ya Yue shook her head, but looked at Lu Sui with a gentle look on her face.

"Yunling, take Miss Xiaoyue to the guest room to rest for a while. I have something to say to Awei." If Lu Sui was stared at by Yayue again, he would definitely have a nightmare at night.

"General Lu..."

Yayue didn't get up and called out softly.

"You must be very tired after the long journey. Besides, you don't have a healthy body, so how can you take good care of me?"

"General Lu is right. It's my fault. I didn't think it through. I'll go to rest now." Yayue got up and followed Yunling out of the room.

As soon as the two of them left.

Lu Sui couldn't wait to wave at Yuan Buwei: "Awei, please listen to my explanation. I treated her..."

"Don't explain, answer me a few questions first."

"You ask."

"You said you rescued her on the battlefield. How long would it take to walk to the capital city on foot?"

"If she relies on her own two legs, it will take at least seven or eight months. If she chooses to take a shortcut, she will have to climb over three mountains and cross two dangerous rivers."

"Then the question is, how did a skinny girl like her, who didn't have much money on her, arrive in the capital unscathed?" Yuan Buwei had just stood behind Yayue, observing her movements, but didn't find any signs of injury. "She also said that she almost ran into someone who had bad intentions towards her. During the struggle, there must be some signs of injury, right?"

"I was suspicious of her identity just now, but she was holding my broken gun and the jade pendant as a token of trust, so I was at a loss for a moment." Lu Sui lowered his eyes, and there was one more thing he didn't say.

He was afraid that Avi would think he was a pushover, so he would lend a helping hand whenever he saw a young girl.

"What are you guilty of?"
