The Concubine's Daughter Travels Through Time and Space and Takes the Road of Confrontation

Lu Yun didn't look at him. "Is Master Zhou really from a wealthy merchant family in Shu?"

Zhou Boli was speechless for a moment before he said, "Why does the princess have such a question?" As he spoke, he quickly reviewed his recent behavior in his mind.

"Forget it, if you don't want to tell me, forget it. I don't think I have anything that is worthy of being deceived so deliberately." Lu Yun sat down alone, still muttering.

Zhou Boli's eyes softened instantly, and he sat aside and said, "Don't underestimate yourself. The princess has many precious qualities that others don't have."

Upon hearing this, the girl immediately turned to look at him, her eyes filled with moonlight.

Zhou Boli coughed lightly and looked at the moon in the distance. "The moonlight is so beautiful tonight."

On the mountain, Lu Ling raised her beautiful face and looked at the bright moon in the sky. She sat in front of the window without saying a word. After a moment, she sighed softly, took the palace lantern, lit it, and walked out without disturbing anyone.

It was still the same terrace, and there was a figure standing on one side of the terrace.

"Master Zhao?"

Zhao Qingyu turned around and saw the person who had been lingering in his mind day and night standing in front of his car. He slowly retracted his outstretched palm, his throat moving up and down. "You're here?"

Lu Ling blew out the lantern. "I wonder why Mr. Zhao asked me to come here?"

Zhao Qingyu quietly traced her face in the darkness, and finally spoke in a dry voice, "I know everything about you."

With a soft "bang", the lantern fell to the ground.

Tears streamed down her cheeks as Lu Yun slowly exhaled a breath of white air. "Mr. Zhao, I am already half a monk. You were born in a baron's family and have already passed the imperial examination at such a young age. You have a bright future ahead of you."

Bending down to pick up the lantern on the ground, Lu Ling bowed.

Zhao Qingyu moved, took a step forward, and grabbed her sleeve. "Please listen to me before you leave, Concubine."

Lu Ling's heart trembled, and she pulled back her sleeves. "Sir, please speak?"

"If you still want to return to the Third Prince's Mansion, I am willing to plan for you to send you back, and even help you--" to regain the favor of the Third Prince.

"No need." Lu Ling interrupted, her voice soft but firm, "Young Master, please go and rest."

Zhao Qingyu quietly watched her receding back and smiled bitterly.

Wenzhu, who was ignored by everyone, hid in the corner and bit his handkerchief. He had never seen such a cowardly young man.

The Ministry of Justice has issued a verdict on the Luzhou salt smuggling case. The Fang family is deeply implicated, and considering that Prefect Fang took the initiative to expose the matter to the court, their merits and demerits will be offset. Their children and wife will not be held responsible. Aside from the personal gains from using the salt, all other property will be returned to them.

Biyu smiled and thanked the girl from the Fang family. "When will Miss Fang leave for home?"

Fang Hao smiled faintly. "My mother wrote to me a few days ago saying that she would send someone to take me back home. I think they will arrive in the next few days."

Hong Fei paused and went inside.

Fang Hao's face turned cold and she took out a letter and lit it on the candle. It turned out that her mother had indeed sent a letter but it was not to take her back. Instead, she said that she had found a marriage for her and she had to get married when she returned.

So she was allowed to marry, the youngest son of a country landlord. She stood up, straightened her clothes, and walked towards Songtao Pavilion.

She never returned, and it wasn't until Nanny Guizhi realized Miss Fang wasn't in the house and yelled that everyone noticed. Zhang frowned and gave a few instructions, and Jinhe led the men to search the farm.

After searching the backyard but not finding her, the only thing left was the front yard. Jin He didn't dare to make a decision on her own, but Nanny Gui Zhi rushed out at this moment and said, "This concerns the safety of Miss Fang. What are you doing standing here?"

After saying that, he headed towards the front yard.

It was too late for Jin He to report to his wife, so he had no choice but to follow.

I found Songtao Pavilion and heard voices coming from inside. Nanny Guizhi knocked on the door and asked, "Excuse me, is Mr. Zhou here?"

"It's Aunt Guizhi." Liuzi came out of the room and saw the figure behind her and asked curiously, "What are you doing, Aunt?"

Nanny Guizhi looked worried. "Miss Fang is missing. Jinhe and I have been searching everywhere but haven't found her. We've finally found her here."

"Oh," Liuzi said sarcastically, "Madam, how could you think that Miss Fang would appear here with my young master?" After that, he turned sideways and raised his hand, "Madam, please come in."

Nanny Guizhi forced a smile and walked in, not daring to look around. She glanced around, but there was no one there. She said, "There's no one here. Let's go to the next place. Sorry to bother you."

After saying this, he was about to take his people away.

At this moment, Lu Yun returned to the manor. She looked at the scene in front of her and frowned in confusion, "What happened?" Another figure came out of the carriage. It was Miss Fang who everyone was looking for.

Nanny Guizhi was slightly startled, but she looked accusing and said, "Why didn't you tell me that Miss Fang was leaving?"

Although Lu Yun was confused, she still spoke up to explain, "This morning, Miss Fang came to me and said she wanted to go to the temple to burn incense." Then she tried to smooth things over, "It's my fault for not informing Madam, which led to a misunderstanding."

Fang Hao shook his head and said, "How can I blame the princess for this? It was my fault for not thinking it through and not informing Madam Zhang, causing everyone to worry." After saying that, he bowed.

Zhou Boli was nowhere to be seen. Nanny Guizhi realized she had been tricked, so she forced a smile and dismissed everyone.

Returning to the house, she ordered Hong Fei to close the door. Nanny Gui Zhi dragged a chair to sit next to Da Shou, with a very sad expression, "Old Master, this old slave is useless."

Dashou put down the building blocks in his hand and stuffed his little rabbit handkerchief into Mammy's hand. "Mammy, don't cry."

Nanny Guizhi took the handkerchief and was overwhelmed with grief. The more she wiped away her tears, the more they shed.

The partition door opened, and a figure walked in. Lu Yun walked over to Dashou and sat down. "Mammy, is this because of Dashou?"

Nanny Guizhi stopped crying, her eyes filled with resentment, and her voice was stubborn. "Before the old master died, he instructed that the princess take care of Dashou for the rest of his life. In exchange, the old master would ensure the safety of the Lu family's second branch for the rest of his life. I wonder if the princess still remembers this?"

"I didn't break the contract." Lu Yun sighed. "Madam, why do you have to implicate others?"

"The princess certainly hasn't broken her promise, but she's also been invisibly distancing herself from the princess. She's also been spending more and more time with others. I don't dare take the risk," she said, especially since this person is the crown prince of Nanyue. "Rather than waiting until you abandon the princess for someone else, why don't I be the bad guy? I'm old, how many more years do I have left?"

Lu Yun finally understood what Nanny Guizhi was thinking. She said in disbelief, "Are you talking about me, a nun, who risked her life for love and abandoned her family?"

Dashou looked up at his sister and seriously corrected her, "It's not about abandoning your family, it's about abandoning Dashou."

Lu Yun didn't know whether to laugh or cry. She straightened Dashou's head and sighed, "It seems our Dashou has started to hide his secrets." She tilted her head and thought for a moment, her expression solemn. "Madam Guizhi, whether you believe it or not, I, Lu Yun, swear here that I will protect Dashou until the end of his life. If I break my promise, I will die and never enter the cycle of reincarnation. This oath is reported to the nine heavens, revealed to the underworld, and witnessed by all the ancestors in the heavens."

As soon as he finished speaking, a loud thunderclap was heard outside the house.

Lu Yun's expression gradually grew serious. "I hope this kind of thing won't happen again. After today, I'll move back to Qingxin Temple."
