Yu Jiao wakes up one day to find herself transmigrated into the body of a poor rural girl, sold off in a marriage of luck to a sickly man.
Thinking she’s landed in a farming-romance novel, ...
After Lu Jin finished speaking, he looked at Yu Jiao, waiting for her response.
After a while, Yu Jiao said, "Boss Lu Qian, people change. Madam Wushuang may not still be the simple girl you knew before who sold bean juice in Taoxi Lane."
"She is following Cheng Ying now, and she has no choice." Lu Jin defended Liang Wushuang, "She is not a bad person by nature. If you knew her before, you would definitely like her very much."
After hearing this, Yu Jiao understood that Lu Jin must have a good impression of Liang Wushuang. She did not comment, but only reminded, "Although Mr. Lu Qian and Miss Liang are old acquaintances, she is already Governor Cheng's person. Mr. Lu Qian should not get too close to her. Governor Cheng has always had a bad temper."
Lu Jin nodded, "I know my limits." He looked at Yu Jiao and pleaded, "Miss Liang wants to host a party at Xinglou, and I want to apologize to you in person."
Yu Jiao looked at his flushed face and thought that he was so embarrassed because he rarely asked for help from others.
She nodded slightly and agreed.
She could agree to attend the banquet to give Lu Jin face, but as for forgiving Liang Wushuang and making peace with her, that was impossible.
Seeing her accept, Lu Jin breathed a sigh of relief and smiled. He glanced at Yu Qizhe, who was standing alone in the door with a gloomy expression. He scratched his head and said, "Third Miss, you misunderstood my junior brother. He really values you very much and has never thought of separating from you to change his career."
Seeing Yu Jiao was about to lower the curtain, Lu Jin hurriedly said, "Third Miss, please listen to me. Zhan Xing is a taciturn person who doesn't like to say anything. You don't know that your brother once sent an assassin to kill him!"
Yu Jiao's grip on the curtain tightened, her pupils slightly dilated, staring at Lu Jin closely, "You said my brother sent someone to kill him?"
Lu Jin nodded quickly. "Although I don't know where your brother found the assassins, they are highly skilled in martial arts and well-trained. They are more like assassins than assassins. They are ruthless and really want to kill you. If I hadn't arrived in time that day, the consequences would be disastrous."
Yu Jiao could not hide her shock. Although her elder brother did not think highly of Yu Qizhe and did not approve of their relationship, how could he do such a thing?
Lu Jin continued, "Your brother said it himself. As long as I don't break up with you, assassinations will happen again and again. He even threatened the lives of Uncle Yu and Aunt Yu in Qingzhou. I was there that day. I was really forced to treat you like that. Otherwise, I'm afraid he would have died in the capital by now, not to mention his career."
Yu Jiao's hands that were holding the curtain trembled slightly. She licked her dry lips, looked at Yu Qizhe who was standing far away, and asked, "When did this happen?"
She was a little confused. Yunxiao and the others were given to her by her elder brother. His elder brother could indeed find the killer, but would he really do such a thing? He knew how much she cared about Yu Qizhe.
"The assassination took place on the night of your coming-of-age banquet. I was injured but I didn't tell you," Lu Jin said.
Yu Jiao recalled that on the second day after the coming-of-age banquet, she went to see Su He for a follow-up visit and went to Kanjing Hutong with Yao Yu. She still remembered that Yu Qizhe treated her rather coldly that day, his voice was hoarse and his face was a little pale. She thought he was angry and asked him what was wrong with his throat, but he just said he had caught a cold. She wanted to take his pulse, but he refused.
But it turned out that he was injured.
