Fu Zhiyi wanted to avoid suspicion by saying that he had not paid any attention to the girl from the Liu family.

However, seeing how serious Lu Zhenzhen was about this question, after thinking for a moment, she answered truthfully, "Although the Liu family girl is young and looks frail, I saw her eyes flickering. When she met the Third Brother, her cousin-in-law, she didn't shy away from him at all and seemed to be trying to get close to him."

Smart people don't need to say it all. At this point, it is almost clear that although the girl from the Liu family is young, she seems to have some feelings for the third son Fu Zhiming.

From Fu Zhiyi's current position, he naturally guessed that the father of the Liu family girl could not be relied upon. The Zhao family was a large family. Although she was loved by the old lady of the Zhao family, she was taken to the capital.

But it seems that the Zhao family did not take much care of her, a cousin who lived under someone else's roof.

The little girl probably heard that her cousin Zhao had married into the Marquis's mansion and was living a good life, and since the third brother was also a decent-looking man, she had some inappropriate thoughts about him.

But Zhao's position as the original wife is now secure. It will be seen later whether the third brother has any intention towards Liu. Even if he does, no matter how foolish he is, he will not divorce Zhao and marry Liu.

The worst-case scenario would be that the third son would take Liu as his concubine.

For Fu Zhiyi, this was no big deal.

However, seeing Lu Zhenzhen's fearful look, although he didn't understand, he still patiently comforted her: "No matter what happens between the Third Brother and that girl from the Liu family in the future, with Third Sister-in-law here, no matter how stupid she is, she won't let a cousin take her place!"

"If the Liu family girl is really willing to risk everything, the most she can do is ask for the status of a concubine! Once she enters the Marquis' Mansion, with the third sister-in-law around, the Liu family girl won't be able to make any waves!"

Under normal circumstances, it would be as Fu Zhiyi said.

But the situation in the book is not normal!

Who would have thought that Liu Sisi would become the marquis's wife?

Lu Zhenzhen had a lot to complain about, but she had nowhere to vent.

After thinking about it, I decided that this was not possible! I couldn't just sit there and wait for death!

After she traveled through time, she lived with the people in the Marquis' Mansion day and night. Not only did she miss Lan, but she also missed Hu, Zhao, and several other brothers and sisters. These were all living lives.

She couldn't bear to watch the whole family of the Marquis' Mansion lose their lives!

We have to think of a way to find out what Liu Sisi is capable of.

Having made up her mind, Lu Zhenzhen no longer hesitated.

She looked at Fu Zhiyi seriously. If she wanted to find out Liu Sisi's background, she had to see if she had any connection with Fu Zhiming. She had so many people in her hands, so she had to ask Fu Zhiyi for help.

"Fourth Master, I have something I'd like to ask you for help with—" Since she needed to ask for help, Lu Zhenzhen naturally acted like she was asking for help.

She smiled very flatteringly, walked behind Fu Zhiyi and diligently massaged his back and shoulders.

Fu Zhiyi really enjoyed Lu Zhenzhen's initiative to get close to him, even though she wanted something from him.

But after all, I am different, right?

Why didn't she ask others to go? It shows that she only cares about herself!

I was so happy that I agreed very readily: "What is it?"

Lu Zhenzhen leaned close to Fu Zhiyi's ear, whispered a few words, and then looked at Fu Zhiyi expectantly.

Fu Zhiyi only felt a gust of hot air blowing on his ears, making him feel numb and tingling, and half of his body went limp.

All my attention was focused on that ear, and I almost didn't hear what Lu Zhenzhen said.

After a moment of hesitation, I finally understood Lu Zhenzhen's request.

He looked at Lu Zhenzhen in surprise, but held back from asking any more questions, and only said, "Okay!"

Lu Zhenzhen could see that Fu Zhiyi had many questions in his mind, and thought that he would use his help to control her and ask about her situation.

But in the end, Fu Zhiyi held back and didn't ask anything.

He agreed readily.

Something in Lu Zhenzhen's heart suddenly sank, and something surged out from inside, making her look at Fu Zhiyi suddenly complicated.

After a while, Lu Zhenzhen regained her sanity and voice: "Fourth Master, why don't you ask me why I do this?"

Fu Zhiyi half-closed his eyes and said nonchalantly, "You and I are husband and wife, so you must have your reasons for doing this! I believe you wouldn't make such a request casually! Whatever you want to do, just do it! As long as you don't harm the Marquis' Mansion or your family, I'll cover for you if anything goes wrong!"

After thinking about it, he was afraid that Lu Zhenzhen still had some concerns: "Even if I can't hold it back! There is still my wife! My wife loves you more than me now!"

This was meant as a joke to make Lu Zhenzhen happy.

Lu Zhenzhen was a little dazed by the heavy trust, and stopped massaging her shoulders.

Fu Zhiyi tilted his head and met Lu Zhenzhen's red eyes. He suddenly became flustered: "What's wrong? I was just joking with you! No matter what happens, I will definitely cover it for you! I will protect you no matter what! Don't worry! Don't cry——"

Lu Zhenzhen sniffed and said tearfully, "I, I am happy! The Fourth Master trusts me so much! I—"

I was so choked up that I couldn't speak, and could only cry.

I finally understand why the ancients believed that a scholar should be his confidant.

Of course, it was impossible for her to die for Fu Zhiyi! But for him and the Lan family, she had to meet Liu Sisi, the heroine, to see if she could change her fate and save Fu Zhiyi, the Lan family, and the entire Hou Mansion. She had to give it a try!

Fu Zhiyi watched Lu Zhenzhen cry, and felt a dull pain in his heart.

Unable to hold back, he turned sideways and hugged Lu Zhenzhen with his backhand, then placed her on his lap and held her in his arms. His big, broad hands gently stroked Lu Zhenzhen's back, as if to stroke away all of Lu Zhenzhen's worries and sorrows.

"Don't be afraid! No matter what happens, I'm here! As long as I'm here, you'll be fine! Don't be afraid, don't be afraid—"

The low moans and gentle caresses slowly relaxed Lu Zhenzhen's tense nerves.

In Fu Zhiyi's arms, she moved a little and nestled into a more comfortable position.

After thinking for a while, he spoke: "Fourth Master, although I can't tell you why I did this at the moment! But you must believe that I will never harm the Marquis' Mansion! It's just, it's just for some reason that I can't tell you now!"

"Wait, wait until I get the results, then I'll tell you, okay?"

There was a hint of trepidation in his tone.

No matter how stupid she was, she could feel that Fu Zhiyi was also attracted to her.

After all, what kind of decent boss would comfort his subordinates by holding them in his lap or in his arms?

If it's a greasy old man, it's called workplace sexual harassment.

But the two are already nominally husband and wife, and they are not lovers. They do this naturally because they are attracted to each other, so now it can only be called an ambiguous relationship at most!

Therefore, Lu Zhenzhen's tone at this moment couldn't help but carry a hint of coquettishness.
