Lu Yucheng snatched the storybook from him, flipped it over, and couldn't help but twitch his lips: "How a Cunning Young Master Wins Over His Little Wife, huh? What, are you just learning something new?"

Zhu Yu gave an awkward smile: "Whether Miss Qi is good or not, I'll only know after I see her for myself."

He had someone inquire about her and learned that this Miss Qi Wanting was quite a good person, but whether she and his brother could be in love would only be known after they met.

So, in the following days...

Whenever Qi Wanting went out, she would always run into Lu Yucheng.

Whenever she encountered Lu Yucheng, either she was walking peacefully by the roadside when a kite would fly out from outside the high wall, its thin string nearly severing Miss Qi's neck. Lu Yucheng happened to be passing by, grabbed her around the waist, spun around to avoid it, and at the same time, swiftly brought down his knife to prevent the kite from harming anyone else.

Or she might encounter a thug who snatches her purse, forces her into an alley, acts lewdly but doesn't actually get close enough to molest her, and then Lu Yucheng sees it, kicks the thug away, and pulls her into his arms, scaring the thugs into fleeing.

Or she's walking along the road when suddenly a string of firecrackers flies by and explodes in front of her, startling her so much that she jumps backward and into someone's arms.

This time, Qi Wanting looked at him strangely.

Lu Yucheng's lips twitched. "No, it really wasn't my arrangement. I didn't know."

After this happened several times, Lu Yucheng could no longer bear it and stood in front of Zhu Yu with a face full of anger.

"Little sister, what exactly do you want!"

Zhu Yu blinked her innocent phoenix eyes: "Brother, why are you so fierce? What's wrong?"

"What else? Keep pretending! Tell me, were all the dangers Miss Qi has encountered these past few days your doing?"

Zhu Yu chuckled: "So, after your heroic rescue, is Miss Qi now deeply in love with you?"

"Ha." Lu Yucheng was so angry that he almost laughed. "Deeply in love? Miss Qi doesn't even want to talk to me anymore."

"Such behavior is hardly the act of a gentleman. Miss Qi isn't stupid; do you think she can't see that someone deliberately arranged this? Although she didn't say it aloud, she's probably cursing me as a lecher in her heart!"

How could this be? Zhu Yu couldn't understand it. In the storybooks, it was always the hero who saved the beauty, and the woman, having nothing to repay him with, had no choice but to offer herself to him.

Why doesn't this work on Miss Qi and her brother?

Zhu Yu looked at Qi Yu blankly, while Qi Yu shrugged, indicating that she didn't know either.

"However, brother, you have really wronged me this time. Although these things were not accidents, it was definitely not your sister who did them."

Lu Yucheng naturally didn't believe it. These obviously clumsy accidents were too deliberate. Even his first meeting with Miss Qi was arranged by his sister.

"Little girl, how could I not know your little tricks? Although you meant well, you don't need to do it again."

Luo Wang rushed over from outside, gave Zhu Yu a deep look, and whispered a few words in Lu Yucheng's ear.

Lu Yucheng's eyelids twitched upon hearing this: "Your Highness Prince An? You mean all these so-called accidents were done by Your Highness Prince An's attendant, Jiang Chuan?"

Luo Wang nodded emphatically.

Lu Yucheng looked at his younger sister in disbelief: "Xiaoyun, tell me honestly, did you borrow Jiang Chuan from Prince An?"

Zhu Yu smiled innocently: "Brother, you're overthinking it. I only heard about these things this morning, and I was just about to ask Li Feng to tell you, and then you came. Li Feng, isn't that right?"

"Ah? Oh, yes, yes, hehe, Young Master, what Miss said is true." Li Feng replied dryly, inwardly blaming her for not discussing it with her earlier, as she was very bad at lying.

"Heh." Lu Yucheng put his hands on his hips and sneered at his sister.

Although Zhu Yu was insecure, he was very confident. He puffed out his increasingly full chest and said, "Brother, Jiang Chuan is His Highness Prince An's personal bodyguard. He can't be borrowed so easily to do these things for me. Besides, I have my own people. Why would I borrow Jiang Chuan?"

Lu Yucheng frowned and thought about it; that made sense.

What is Prince An up to?

Ha, he thought that by doing this, he could make him stop treating Xiaoyun the way he and Consort Duan had treated her.

He still wants to marry Xiaoyun?

snort.

Lu Yucheng led Luo Wang away with suspicion.

Li Feng scratched her head: "Miss, next time, next time before lying, could you please tell me first? I was so scared just now, I didn't dare to look at the young master."

Qi Yu rolled her eyes at Li Feng and said, "Miss, that was indeed a bit much."

Li Feng nodded seriously: "Yes, yes, I think so too. Once or twice is fine, but you have arranged too much. During this period, whenever Miss Qi goes out, you have Fan Chu and the others create trouble in Jiang Chuan's name. And it's such a coincidence that the young master has run into them all."

"This is too obvious and looks fake. Miss Qi won't think it was arranged by you, Miss; she'll only think it was the young master's doing, which will only anger her."

Fan Chu was the same hoodlum who caused trouble at Lianfu Restaurant last time, was given a bowl of hot soup by Zhu Yu, and was later recruited by Lianfu Restaurant as a waiter.

Zhu Yu raised an eyebrow, thinking that this was exactly the effect he wanted, but now that the effect had been achieved, there was no need for further action: "Let Fan Chu and the others come back."

The two maids exchanged a glance and both breathed a sigh of relief.

But before he could catch his breath, Zhu Yu turned around and gave Yu another set of instructions.

Qi Yu's unchanging expression changed; the young lady was too much of a troublemaker.

She was starting to agree with Prince An and the Crown Prince.

Lu Yucheng had already left Tongjia Courtyard, but he still felt something was wrong.
