A crazy beauty has an island, and a powerful figure from that era dotes on her.

Liu Xiaoran's anger, which she had managed to suppress, surged again, and her sharp nails nearly dug into her palms.

A sharp pain struck, and my mind, clouded by rage, suddenly cleared.

"Yu Jing, Chen Feng, you two go ahead with your work. I have something to do, so I'll be leaving now." Liu Xiaoran curved her full red lips into a smile, her tone returning to its previous gentle and magnetic quality.

Before turning around, she gave Jian Qingyi a gentle smile, as if to say hello.

Jian Qingyi smiled slightly in response.

Liu Xiaoran actually has pretty good looks.

Whether it's facial features, body proportions...

They are all considered to be above average.

With her privileged family background, she shouldn't have ended up being disliked by everyone.

As soon as the person left, Zhou Chenfeng got up and closed the door.

"Sister-in-law, you'd better stay away from her in the future. She's not a good person." Zhou Chenfeng said impatiently as soon as he turned back and his butt hit the sofa.

“You guys have a lot of opinions about her!” Jian Qingyi’s tone was somewhat probing.

"Sister-in-law, let me tell you, that Liu Xiaoran has had her eye on your Political Commissar Lu since she was a child. You'd better watch out!" Zhou Chenfeng paused in his hand as he unpacked the box, then looked up and gave Jian Qingyi a mischievous smile.

"Wife, I came to the military region with my grandfather when I was five years old. I don't know that Liu Xiaoran at all. Don't listen to this bastard's nonsense." Lu Yujing panicked and hurriedly pledged his loyalty.

Jian Qingyi disassembled the compartments of the insulated container on her own.

Although it had been stored for some time, the lotus root and pork rib soup in the thermos was still steaming hot.

“The two old men used to joke about arranging a marriage between us, but I refused outright. Honey, believe me, I never had any feelings for Liu Xiaoran.”

To be precise, all the families in the compound with daughters of marriageable age had their eyes on Lu Yujing, this "other people's child."

When people talk about the children of high-ranking officials, they are all filled with envy and resentment.

But what they didn't know was that the children of high-ranking officials were actually divided into different classes.

And the Lu family...

Those were noble families whose genealogy could be traced back to the Sixteen Kingdoms period. Throughout the dynasties, they produced strategists and powerful ministers, not to mention their fiefdoms and lands.

Even during the turbulent times of war, the Lu family remained steadfast.

At the critical moment of life and death, Old Master Lu led the Lu family in a desperate fight against those scoundrels.

This laid the foundation for the Lu family's status as a cornerstone.

Who wouldn't want to befriend a family like that?!

Not to mention marriage.

"Wife..." Lu Yujing said cautiously.

With his wife remaining silent, Lu Yujing was truly uncertain.

Zhou Chenfeng held a teacup in his hand, his beautiful peach blossom eyes slightly curved, his gaze sweeping back and forth between the two people in front of him.

This immediately earned him a glare from Lu Yujing.

"Pfft!" Zhou Chenfeng couldn't help but burst out laughing.

Lu Yujing glared fiercely at Zhou Chenfeng, then turned to look at his wife with the same cautious expression.

"Wife..." He leaned close to his wife's ear and whispered something to her.

Jian Qingyi became increasingly alarmed as she listened, eventually losing all composure and composure.

They were so shocked they could fit a duck egg in their mouths without any problem.

She turned to look at the man.

I'm trying to process everything I've heard so far.

The Liu family is actually...

Living in a time of peace, how could she have imagined...

"Lu Yujing, you're finished! You actually dared to tell your wife a secret!" Zhou Chenfeng pointed at the two of them.

"Do you have evidence that he told me a secret?" Jian Qingyi rolled her eyes at him, then turned and went to the lounge to get a bowl and chopsticks.

"You two were whispering to each other just now," Zhou Chenfeng scoffed.

“It’s not normal for my husband and I to whisper in each other’s ears, we’re not whispering with anyone else.” Jian Qingyi scooped half a bowl of rice into her own bowl, and gave the rest to Lu Yujing and Zhou Chenfeng.

There was an important meeting in the afternoon, so I didn't drink any alcohol.

"How's the situation over there?" Lu Yujing picked up a piece of steamed beef with rice flour and put it into Jian Qingyi's bowl, then looked at Zhou Chenfeng.

Knowing they were discussing important matters, Jian Qingyi shoveled food into her mouth while straining her ears.

“They’re all in place. I don’t know if it’s the personnel changes that alerted them, or if the people over there gave them instructions, but lately, that group has been very vigilant and hasn’t made any moves.” Zhou Chenfeng frowned slightly.

"Just keep an eye on them from a distance, don't alert them." Lu Yujing put the large chicken leg from the chicken stew with mushrooms into his wife's bowl.

Zhou Chenfeng nodded.

“They just got back, they’ll definitely be recruiting here, have your men keep an eye on things,” Lu Yujing added.

Zhou Chenfeng nodded again.

Suddenly, I remembered, "The youngest son of the Chen family spent most of the morning wandering around that family's courtyard gate..."

"Is it the one Chen Jia just got married?" Jian Qingyi suddenly raised her head, her eyes sparkling as she looked at Zhou Chenfeng.

Zhou Chenfeng nodded with a smile.

Gossip, indeed, knows no gender or age.

"Men are all the same, none of them are any good!" Jian Qingyi muttered, pouting.

Eat the food in the bowl and look at the food in the pot.

We want it all, we want it all, and we want it all.

“Wife…” Lu Yujing turned to look at her with a wronged expression.

"Sweetie, I wasn't talking about you." Jian Qingyi coaxed a child by scooping a piece of pork rib into Lu Yujing's bowl.

Zhou Chenfeng glanced at Lu Yujing, his eyes filled with undisguised disdain.

We've been brothers for over ten years, how come I never realized he was this kind of person!

"Brother Zhou, did the youngest son of the Chen family have his eye on Liu Xiaoran before? Does his wife know that he has feelings for Liu Xiaoran?" When she turned to look at Zhou Chenfeng, Jian Qingyi's face lit up with gossip again.

The concept of a "white moonlight" (idealized romantic partner) truly exists in every dynasty.

I just don't know how powerful Liu Xiaoran's "white moonlight" image is.

Zhou Chenfeng's lips twitched.

Everyone says that gossipy aunts and grandmothers love to talk about this and that, but this little girl isn't much better at gossiping than them.

"Brother Zhou, does Liu Xiaoran have any other suitors?" Jian Qingyi asked one question after another.

Lu Yujing and Zhou Chenfeng exchanged a knowing glance, their brows furrowing.

next second.

Lu Yujing put down her bowl and chopsticks, got up and walked to her desk.

He picked up the phone and skillfully dialed a number.

The phone was picked up quickly.

"Go and investigate the people around Liu Xiaoran, Liu Xiaoliang, and Liu Mingli, focusing on the men around them, including neighbors and those they've had contact with," Lu Yujing said sternly.

"This possibility cannot be ruled out."

"Don't act rashly for now, and don't alert the enemy."

"The liaison station has people keeping a 24-hour watch. If there are any suspicious people, they must be brought to justice and not let them get away."

Lu Yujing didn't hang up the phone for a long time, not knowing what the other person said.

Knowing that Lu Yujing and Zhou Chenfeng had important matters to discuss, Jian Qingyi put down her chopsticks and left.

Not wanting to go back and deal with the Liu family, Jian Qingyi had Xiao Zhang drive the car directly to [Yisheng].

I plan to take a nap at [Yisheng] before going back.

The car had just come to a stop when someone blocked her way.
