Jiang Yuzhu took Hongli to the main hall to worship Buddha. As expected, she met her cousin Lu Yunxi again, and the two met face to face.

Lu Yunxi paused, his eyes burning: "Cousin, I have been in the offshore sea for these years, and there has not been a single day that I haven't thought of you."

here we go again.

Faced with the mess left by the original owner, Jiang Yuzhu was at a loss. She deeply realized that it was not a good idea to always avoid it. Some things had to be said clearly and plainly in person.

"Cousin, I have a lot to say to you, but this is not the place to talk."

There were crowds of pilgrims around, and they looked at him from time to time.

Jiang Yuzhu had no intention of becoming the center of attention, so she took the initiative to meet Lu Yunxi in the bamboo forest at the end of the You hour.

Lu Yunxi's eyes were gentle, full of affection for Jiang Yuzhu. He nodded and said, "Okay."

He watched her leave with a deep look in his eyes. Just as he was about to retract the affection in his eyes, he saw Jiang Yuzhu suddenly turn around.

Lu Yunxi froze in place. Facing Jiang Yuzhu's slightly suspicious gaze, he suppressed his rare embarrassment and said with a smile, "Cousin, do you have anything else to do? You won't regret it, will you?"

"Cousin, see you there!"

Jiang Yuzhu is very confident that the problem can be solved once and for all tonight.

Hongli shook her head pessimistically: "My cousin is deeply in love, I'm afraid he will be stubborn and unwilling to change. What if you can't solve it?"

Jiang Yuzhu stared at the doomsaying Hongli for a long moment. "What else can we do? Since we can't solve the problem, then we should just get rid of the person who caused it. Do I need to teach you this?"

Jiang Yuzhu's patience has reached its limit.

She had only seen her cousin a few times, but Jiang Yuzhu would get goosebumps when she saw his lingering gaze.

Hongli quickly covered her mouth: "Madam, why did you turn around so suddenly?"

This action was a bit abrupt, and Hongli thought that the two of them had something unfinished to say.

Jiang Yuzhu snorted coldly and said complacently, "Most men say one thing to your face and another behind your back. They act better than the whole class of little peach blossoms. If I hadn't caught him by surprise, how would I have known if he was interested?"

The two hadn't seen each other for several years. The Jiang family was a prominent family in the capital.

Lu Yunxi showed up, wasn't it because he was attracted by the Jiang family's status?

No matter whether they are relatives or not, you should always be on guard against them.

Hongli was deeply impressed: "Madam, I feel that you have become much smarter. Do you have any new discoveries?"

Jiang Yuzhu retracted her gaze and said calmly, "Yes."

They were all thousand-year-old foxes in disguise. If she hadn't turned around suddenly, how could she have seen Lu Yunxi's tail exposed and still wanted to deceive her?

Jiang Yuzhu seized the opportunity and determined that Lu Yunxi had some ulterior motive in approaching her.

Hongli didn't ask any more questions, but worried about meeting after dark: "Although we are in a temple, we are alone. If someone finds out, your reputation will be ruined..."

If it were in the past, Hongli would have had no worries at all, but now that her wife's reputation has unconsciously improved, she should be more careful about her reputation.

Jiang Yuzhu gave Hongli a strange look and said, "You always say I'm smart, but aren't you the one who's become stupid?"

Jiang Yuzhu proposed to meet Lu Yunxi, but she said she was going there.

"Bring my mother with me, and to avoid suspicion, send a message to my mother-in-law as well, so everyone can listen together."

After Jiang Yuzhu finished speaking, Hongli leaned over and took her mother-in-law to meet her cousin with whom she had once had feelings. This was a unique event in the capital and even in Da Qi!

Behind him, Lu Yunxi stared at Jiang Yuzhu's back for a long time, afraid that she would suddenly appear.

After the figure disappeared, Lu Yunxi stood there for half a quarter of an hour.

He had killed countless people over the years and remained calm and composed, but this was the first time he was overwhelmed by a woman. What was even more infuriating was that the other party did nothing at all.

"master."

The subordinate behind him reminded, "You have already made an appointment to trade with someone at 5:00 PM tonight."

Although the locations are all inside the Huguo Temple, we are afraid that something unexpected may happen during the transaction, causing it to take longer.

Lu Yunxi said nonchalantly, "We'll take it one step at a time. We don't have to be so punctual."

The sun was setting in the west, and the red light passed through the west window and the Korean paper, illuminating the room.

The maids brought the vegetarian meal. Shen and Chen had long forgotten the rules of not talking while eating or sleeping, and started chatting while eating.

"The eminent monk from Huguo Temple rarely shows up, but Yuzhu happened to see him. He is a blessing to her husband and family, and may she have many children and bring happiness!"

Especially having many children and good fortune is in line with Shen's expectations.

Since the master has said so, it must be Xie Zhao's problem that he still has no offspring.

Shen put down her chopsticks and asked Chen for advice: "My dear, I see that the eldest and second sons are filial and obedient. How do you usually educate your children?"

When it comes to raising her children, Chen could talk about it for three days and three nights: "If they don't obey, they will be beaten. There is always a feather duster at home!"

Shen kept it in mind and thought that she would have to make one herself and place it in the side hall to protect the house.

The two of them mentioned Lu Yunxi in their gossip, and Chen sighed and said, "It's better to explain it clearly. Yuzhu is already married now. It's just Yunxi's bad luck."

When the two families were planning to discuss marriage, Lu Yunxi disappeared, which ultimately led to the failure of the marriage.

Chen lamented that life is unpredictable and that the Lu family did not have the blessing to marry her daughter.

Shen was unable to express her opinion, so she secretly sent her maid to deliver a letter to the foot of the mountain.

Xie Zhao must be here tonight, as the couple must have a consistent attitude towards the outside world.

Lu Yunxi came to provoke him, but Xie Zhao was carefree and ignored her all day long. Wasn't he afraid that his wife would run away?

Shen was extremely anxious, but she didn't show it on her face.

At this moment, at the Xie Mansion, Xie Zhao specially left the yamen early to accompany his father-in-law Jiang Fulu to toast.

After three rounds of drinks, Jiang Fulu's face was flushed, and he said with great pride: "My dear son-in-law, please don't let the news of us gathering the manpower spread. Let Old Dog Wei be proud for a few days."

I heard that for the Dragon Boat Festival, Chief Minister Wei is leading his men to familiarize themselves with the river tonight and cooperate with his small group, just to defeat his own faction.

"Let him toss around first, and when you're confident, give Old Dog Wei a fatal blow."

Whenever Jiang Fulu thought of Prime Minister Wei’s face that turned purple with anger, he felt extremely happy.

Having a common enemy, Jiang Fulu treated Xie Zhao as his own. He was very happy to come to Xie's house for a meal and drank a few more glasses without Chen nagging in his ears.

Jiang Fulu looked around and always felt that something was missing.

Yes, there is a feather duster missing from the vase in the corner. Next time he will bring one from Jiang's house for his daughter.

Xie Zhao glanced at the vase in the corner and his eyes flickered slightly: "I will follow my father-in-law's arrangements in everything."

Logically speaking, after the assassination of Jia Xinglin, the prince of Duke Mao, the noble families should have confronted the Wei family.

Recently, the noble families seemed to have gotten wind of the news and have been keeping an unusually low profile, which is quite abnormal.

It's quiet outside, but inside there are undercurrents and a storm is about to come.

The curtain at the door swayed and Liang An made a gesture.

After Xie Zhao noticed it, he toasted with two more glasses of wine before pulling the curtain aside and leaving.

Liang An replied, "The old lady sent a message, asking you to go to Huguo Temple before the end of the evening hour."

"No."

Xie Zhao turned around and refused indifferently.

The government office still has some unfinished business that cannot be delayed until tomorrow.

Liang An was a little anxious: "Mr. Lu is already more handsome than you. He is meeting with his wife to express his love. If you don't go, won't you give Mr. Lu an opportunity?"

Xie Zhao stood still, his eyes stern: "Liang An, when did you go blind?"
