Chapter 100 Auspicious Wishes (18)
This year, Yangcheng welcomed a once-in-a-century heavy snowfall, and the continuous heavy snow made Yanghu Lake dazzlingly bright at night.
On the way there, Yi Yi had already asked Cerebellum about the plot deviation in the car.
Even after learning that no plot deviations have been detected, Yi Yi is still very uneasy.
After all, although the incident is still the same, the timeline has been moved forward by several days.
Taking the oil-paper umbrella from the driver, Yi Yi said to him, "You can wait in the car first. I asked Hong Que to put a blanket in the car for you."
The driver nodded and returned to the car without any objection.
Yi Yi watched as the driver closed the car door and then looked towards the lake.
The brightly lit pleasure boats in the distance resembled a tempting candy house in the pale light.
Even at times like this, Yi Yi could still think all sorts of random thoughts: Tsk, I should have urged Commander Ma to complete the process of giving me this pleasure boat, and then let's see what Ma Yuliang could use to show off.
He had only taken a few steps toward the pleasure boat when he was stopped by two officers.
Even though she was indeed a little anxious, Yi Yi didn't make things difficult for the two of them. She simply said, "Go in and inform them that the head of the Zhu family is coming to keep the appointment."
So one of them turned and entered the painted boat.
Soon, a serious-looking man emerged from the pleasure boat.
The man, also dressed in a crisp military uniform, bowed slightly to Yi Yi and then spoke politely in a tone as firm as iron: "Patriarch Zhu, our young marshal has been waiting for you for a long time."
"Enough talk, lead the way." Yi Yi squinted at the officer whose demeanor was like a stubborn rock, recognizing him as Ma Yuliang's sworn brother, his adjutant.
She understood that he was just like that by nature, but the current situation did not allow her to show weakness, so she could only respond with a more forceful tone.
The adjutant didn't say anything more, but simply turned to the side and made a "please" gesture. Seeing that Yi Yi was following, he turned around and led the way.
As she walked on the exquisite painted boat, Yi Yi felt no longer in the mood to appreciate it as she had last time.
He hurried after the adjutant who was striding ahead, and soon arrived at the place where he had discussed matters with Commander Ma.
Before even entering, I heard a boy inside ask, "You said you're Zhu Qianxiao, the eldest daughter of the Zhu family?"
"Genuine, no doubt about it." The answer he received was from a woman's voice that sounded like she was trying to appear calm.
An odd conversation.
Yi Yi frowned, feeling that something was off about the conversation, so she simply pushed her hand and took in the whole scene in the room.
What came into view was a girl who was tied up and a man in a dark green military uniform in front of her.
It was Zhu Qianxiao and Ma Yuliang.
Upon hearing the sound of the door opening, Ma Yuliang paused slightly before coldly snorting, "Whether it's true or false, let the Zhu family head decide."
His words clearly indicated that he did not acknowledge Zhu Qianxiao's identity.
But upon hearing his words, Zhu Qianxiao's eyes lit up, and she turned her head with difficulty to look at Yi Yi: "Brother!"
Yi Yi glanced at her younger sister, who was tied up like a dumpling, sighed, and went forward to untie her. At the same time, she said to Ma Yuliang, "Young Marshal, your methods of inviting people over are a bit too forceful, especially when it comes to your own fiancée. Isn't that a bit too ungentlemanly?"
This was a tacit way of informing Zhu Qianxiao that the woman he had found, the eldest daughter of the Zhu family, was also his fiancée.
Unexpectedly, even after learning the truth, Ma Yuliang still looked dazed.
He stared intently at Zhu Qianxiao's face, his expression growing increasingly unpleasant, his brows furrowing deeply.
After a moment, he closed his eyes, gently shook his head, and murmured, "No, she isn't."
As Yi Yi rubbed Zhu Qianxiao's wrist, which had been marked by the hemp rope, she sensed something was wrong upon hearing those words.
As expected, the next second Ma Yuliang grabbed Zhu Qianxiao's hand and asked seriously, "In your household, besides you, is there any other woman of your age who could wear the 'Zhan Cui' mourning clothes at your parents' funeral?"
They really came for me!
Yi Yi closed her eyes sadly, turned her head away and took a few deep breaths without making it obvious.
Seeing that Zhu Qianxiao was stunned for a moment, she subconsciously glanced at herself.
Yi Yi's head hurt even more.
“It’s a woman, not your own brother.” Ma Yuliang naturally noticed Zhu Qianxiao’s actions, but he didn’t consider that the head of the Zhu family was actually a woman, which truly relieved Yi Yi.
Zhu Qianxiao blinked, realizing she had unconsciously given herself away again, and quickly composed herself, replying, "Of course, only my brother and I, the two direct descendants of the Zhu family, would wear the mourning clothes. I don't know who Young Marshal Ma is referring to."
Upon hearing this, Ma Yuliang grabbed Zhu Qianxiao's hand and examined it carefully again. Then, as if he couldn't accept it, he shook his head and took two steps back, saying, "No, impossible, it's definitely not you! Although it looks very similar, it's definitely not you!"
But the facts are undeniable and leave no room for doubt.
Whether it's Ma Yuliang, who doesn't believe he's fallen in love with the eldest daughter of the Zhu family at first sight, or Yi Yi, who actually listened to Xiaonao's nonsense that it wouldn't affect the later plot.
"I want to annul the engagement! Yes, I want to annul the engagement!"
Upon hearing Ma Yuliang's words, Yi Yi's face turned pale, but Zhu Qianxiao's eyes lit up instantly.
"Alright, alright, hurry back and tell your father you want to break off the engagement!"
In Ma Yuliang's eyes, Zhu Qianxiao's words and expression now seemed rather gloating.
Ma Yuliang glared at her, but perhaps because she looked so much like the woman he had fallen in love with at first sight, he couldn't bring himself to punish her.
Wait a minute, she looks so much like the woman she fell in love with at first sight...
Suppressing his doubts, Ma Yuliang asked again, "I'll ask you one last time, you really don't have any sisters or anything like that?"
Having anticipated this, Zhu Qianxiao remained impeccable. She raised her chin slightly and said matter-of-factly, "Of course, my parents only have two children, my brother and me."
Seeing Ma Yuliang's brows furrowing more and more, and his eyes constantly glancing at her and Zhu Qianxiao, as if comparing something.
Yi Yi felt the veins on her head throbbing wildly.
She rubbed her temples and said to Ma Yuliang, "I would like to speak with the young marshal alone. May I ask that the young marshal dismiss the others?"
The adjutant beside him uttered a word of "boldness," but Ma Yuliang interrupted him with a gesture, staring intently at Yi Yi for several seconds.
After a moment, he instructed, "Yuan Feng, take everyone outside and stand guard. I need to discuss some private matters with Patriarch Zhu."
"But...!" Lieutenant Yuan Feng wanted to say something more.
He was interrupted again by Ma Yuliang: "This is an order."
Yuan Feng then led several people out of the room.
It was only then that Yi Yi noticed that behind Yuan Feng, Liang Churen, who looked like he had been beaten up, was being dragged along.
