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

Zhou Boli held the flower in his hand expressionlessly. A faint sweet scent of osmanthus hung in the air. Lu Yun, who had been considering whether to say something polite, ultimately accepted the hairpin in silence.

Lu Song thought she was shy and said "Thank you" to the man in front of him.

Lu Yun didn't even turn around, smiling warmly, "Brother Lu Song, I will be returning to the manor the day after tomorrow. You can send someone to accompany me then."

Lu Song nodded in agreement, and attentively helped her get on the carriage. He watched the carriage disappear around the corner before turning and leaving.

Sitting in the carriage, Lu Yun tried to pin the hairpin back on her head, but failed after many attempts. She had no choice but to put the hairpin aside, as the gauze flower was delicate and she was afraid she would accidentally crush it later.

The carriage stopped, and Lu Yun raised the curtain in confusion. "Are we at the Princess's Mansion?" Seeing the situation outside, Lu Yun was confused. How could she have gone around in a circle and ended up back where she started?

Could it be that someone saw her beauty and wanted to kidnap a decent woman? It was convenient, as Kyoto's largest entertainment venue was only a few blocks away from Xiyuan.

Lu Yun glanced warily at the dark alley and decided to get off and take the No. 11 bus.

A dim lantern extended from behind. "Princess."

Lu Yun raised her hand to shield her eyes. "So it's Mr. Zhou. I wonder what your intention is in tricking me into coming here?"

Zhou Boli held the lantern in one hand, half of his handsome face shrouded in darkness. "I would like to invite the princess to dinner."

Lu Yun pinched her nose and said in a muffled voice, "No need for dinner. I'm full just from smelling Mr. Zhou's odor. Goodbye!" Turning around, she saw four big men standing in the alley.

Lu Yun, who was not yet prepared to be "covered in bruises", hugged the pumpkin porcelain vase in her arms with a depressed heart. "As a former business partner, I am very and extremely disappointed in you."

Zhou Boli stood in front of her, and four strong men stood behind her, with Lu Yun caught in the middle. After passing through a door, she saw the familiar backstage area and circled back to the West Garden.

The inside was brightly lit but empty, with none of the bustling scenes of the daytime.

The next second after Lu Yun entered the room, the door closed behind her. Zhou Boli did not come in. She was the only one in the room with a table full of food.

Lu Yun tried to push the window facing the street, but when she found that she could not open the window without ensuring that it was intact, she gave up.

Looking around, I was confused. What on earth was Master Zhou going to do?

The door opened again, and Zhou Boli, who had changed his clothes, walked in with a cold face. "Sit down."

There were only two chairs around the table, one under his buttocks and one to his side.

Lu Yun stepped forward, grabbed the back of the chair and dragged it to the opposite side with a "swish". Facing his gaze that seemed to want to eat her alive, she sat down with her back straight. Only the beads on her Sihe Ruyiyun shoulders and the tassels on her ears swayed slightly.

The girl under the light was more beautiful than the clouds in the spring sky, but she looked wary of him. Thinking of everything he had seen today, Zhou Boli's face became even uglier, and his sharp eyebrows and eyes concealed a murderous anger that he couldn't immediately express.

Suddenly! He made a move in front of Lu Yun's horrified gaze.

The guards at the door looked at each other in confusion as they heard the "rustling" sound coming from the room again.

"You!" Lu Yun looked at Zhou, who was sitting right next to her, and swallowed uncomfortably. "Husband, don't you think this distance is too offensive? I advise you to respect yourself."

Zhou Boli raised his hand and pressed on the back of her chair, gritting his teeth and saying, "Don't move the chair again. Eat your meal properly."

Lu Yun's nose twitched, and her expression was not very good. Is this your attitude when treating someone to a meal? I want to stand -

Lu Yun was prepared for the arm that tried to stop her, and she used a small grappling technique to successfully teach him a lesson. "Master Zhou, since you are already a husband, I advise you to learn from your mistakes."

Zhou Boli, whose hands were handcuffed behind his back, had his eyes instantly reddened. He tried to convey his confusion, anger, and grievance in his voice. "What did you call me?"

Damn that husband, Mr. Zhou!

Lu Yun tilted her head and said sarcastically, "Master Zhou, what's wrong? You have a family, why are you looking for me in your old age? Could it be that you see my talent and ability and want to adopt me as your goddaughter?"

Zhou Boli: “——”

The guard at the door who had heard every word said, "——"

Zhou Boli was at a loss whether to laugh or cry. "I have never married before, so please be merciful, my lady."

Lu Yun was skeptical, "The room that was yesterday was clearly the woman's bedroom. You said you were not her husband, so why did you appear in her room? You also smelled the sweet-scented osmanthus scent that only existed in that bedroom." And it happened more than once.

Only then did Zhou Boli understand the crux of the matter, so he explained softly, "That bedroom is the boudoir of Bai Fengjiao, the pillar of Xiyuan. The boss of Xiyuan and I have some friendship, so I borrowed her boudoir. As for the smell on me—" Zhou Boli's eyes turned slightly cold, "Maybe I accidentally picked it up while discussing business with the boss of Xiyuan. You and I have known each other for many years, and I have never had any other unknown smell on me."

Lu Yun let go of her hand, her eyes still hesitant. "You are not lying to me, are you?"

Zhou Boli completely lost his temper. He took out a golden peony from his sleeve and pinned it in her hair. "It's my fault this time. I apologize. But—" He said in a serious tone, "Don't talk nonsense again."

"How do you know this isn't what I really mean, and—" Lu Yun looked him over. "Mr. Zhou is handsome and wealthy, so why is no one interested in him?"

No one was interested. Zhou Boli, facing the doubts, calmly picked up a piece of golden shrimp with his chopsticks and gave her a piece of golden shrimp. "I have always wanted to marry a noble lady from Kyoto, but my appearance is unattractive and my family background is low, so she doesn't like me. When I achieve my wish and marry her, I hope the princess will be there."

Lu Yun chewed the shrimp balls hard and gave him a smile. If I were still in Kyoto, I would definitely go to watch the ceremony.

Zhou Boli looked at the girl in front of him, a barely perceptible smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, and he asked casually

"What are you looking for the young master of the Changping Escort Agency for?"

Lu Yun glanced at him and said, "I made a small fortune last night. Although there are reasons for it, I still need to double my efforts to resolve this karma. I plan to ask the Changping Escort Agency to send this money and food to Huaizhou to help the victims."

Zhou Boli lowered his eyes and looked at the two tea cans in the corner. "If you trust me, my lady, I can help you. It's free."

Lu Yun shook her head, hiding her disappointment. "It's settled. Besides, this is a karma I should have resolved." The same was true for the Cao Kingdom marriage. "I won't bother you, Master Zhou."

There was a knock on the door, and Liuzi pushed it open and entered. Seeing his master and princess sitting at the lower table with their backs to him, he paused, then walked to the upper table and bowed, reporting, "Sir, a line of soldiers suddenly appeared on the street and blocked all the important roads."

Zhou Boli picked up a piece of Yinbi Luo with his chopsticks and placed it on Lu Yun's plate. "It's filled with this spring's cherry filling." He waited patiently for her to finish before continuing, "The road is closed. I'm afraid you'll have to work hard to get back tonight."

Lu Yun put down her chopsticks, frowning slightly. "Do you know what happened?"

Liuzi shook his head and said, "I only saw a few teams of soldiers heading into the city."

In the city? Lu Yun's face showed worry. "There's only one place in the city that's worth such a big fight."

Liuzi took out the key and opened the window, quietly opening it a crack and looking towards the direction of the imperial city. The lights were connected like a long dragon in the night, and he could hear faint shouts coming one after another.

"No, I have to go back." Lu Yun shook her head. She took off her cloud shoulder and the hairpins on her head and placed them on the chair. "I'm worried about Roujia's safety. Please, Master Zhou, keep her for me for the time being."

Liuzi had already dodged away the moment the princess raised her hand.

Zhou Boli did not try to stop him. "Okay, I'll take you out the back door."
