When it gets dark, a single man and a single woman meet in a bamboo forest. Shouldn't they express their love to each other?

In preparation for the secret meeting, Lu Yunxi carefully prepared to play the piano and recite poems, set up a table in the bamboo forest, and waited for a few drinks with his cousin Jiang Yuzhu.

"Cousin, what did you say?"

Lu Yunxi's expression gradually stiffened, and he slowly raised his eyes, even the muscles on his face twitching slightly.

Jiang Yuzhu once insisted on marrying her and even swore an oath to Buddha, but now she has changed her mind faster than turning the pages of a book and has repudiated everything that happened in the past.

Lu Yunxi suddenly grabbed Jiang Yuzhu's wrist, angry and shocked: "I don't believe it!"

Jiang Yuzhu slapped Lu Yunxi's hand, a cold smile on her lips: "Cousin, it would be rude to keep pestering me."

What does it have to do with her whether Lu Yunxi believes it or not?

The reason why she asked him to talk it out was also for the sake of the original owner. After digging deeper, Jiang Yuzhu couldn't help but expose Lu Yunxi's affectionate personality.

"Cousin, I treat you sincerely, why do you do this?"

Lu Yunxi's clenched fists trembled, and he roared, his voice becoming hoarse.

Jiang Yuzhu quickly took a step back and kept a safe distance.

Seeing her distant behavior, Lu Yunxi's eyes reddened. "These past few years, I've had a very difficult time out in the outer seas. I've come to the capital with no intention of destroying your reputation. I just want to wait for you from afar. Just a glance at you will satisfy me."

Wonderful, really wonderful!

If Jiang Yuzhu hadn't noticed the sinister look that flashed across Lu Yunxi's eyes, she would have really thought of him as the affectionate supporting actor she longed for but couldn't get.

But after exposing his true face, Jiang Yuzhu shuddered.

If she gets cheated, who knows how she'll be exploited.

There was one thing Jiang Yuzhu couldn't understand: Lu Yunxi was fully qualified to be granted an official position, so why didn't she just work hard? Approaching her and joining the Jiang family wouldn't necessarily lead to a smooth career.

"You know how painful it is to ask for something but not get it!"

Lu Yunxi poured a glass of wine and drank it all in one gulp, a hint of bitterness lingering on his lips. His heart was filled with the vast territory of the Great Qi. Unfortunately, he wasn't the one sitting at the top. One day, he would trample everyone under his feet!

Jiang Yuzhu sighed and said, "I know."

The other party did not play by the rules, and Lu Yunxi was stunned again. He adjusted himself for a moment and said, "Cousin, do you also have someone you want but can't get?"

Jiang Yuzhu plucked a bamboo leaf and twitched the corner of her lip: "Yes."

Lu Yunxi subconsciously asked, "Who?"

"Xie Zhao."

Jiang Yuzhu was very calm. It was not appropriate to cheat others at this time.

Why do men always assume women are devoted to one person? As the Jiang family's beloved only daughter, Jiang Yuzhu only wants to eat, drink, have fun, and make money.

Being around men all day long has a very narrow vision.

Lu Yunxi couldn't help but raise an eyebrow, a sneer appearing on his face: "So even though you trampled on my brother's kindness like this, you still didn't get any mercy from Xie Zhao?"

Jiang Yuzhu asked nonchalantly, "You are different too?"

Everyone is just pretending anyway, it doesn’t matter.

Lu Yunxi: “…”

The atmosphere was tense again, and awkwardness hung in the air.

Jiang Yuzhu didn't give Lu Yunxi a chance to think, and said earnestly: "Cousin, sometimes giving up is also a kind of freedom."

Take my advice and don't bother her anymore.

Jiang Yuzhu implicitly told Lu Yunxi that he would not get any benefits from her.

After a while, Lu Yunxi finally found her voice and asked with narrowed eyes, "Cousin, do you treat Xie Zhao the same way?"

"Of course not!"

Jiang Yuzhu said confidently, "He is my husband, how can it be the same?"

Lu Yunxi was choked again. Jiang Yuzhu was strict with others but lenient with herself. She was playing a double standard. For a moment, he really wanted to break her neck.

Sensing that Lu Yunxi was about to become angry, Jiang Yuzhu hurriedly tried to comfort him, "My cousin is talented and handsome, so why should he be worried about not having women like him?"

Outside the bamboo forest, Shen was quite moved and sighed that her son was lucky.

After three years of neglect, daughter-in-law Jiang Yuzhu remained the same, and I don’t know how much grievance she suffered.

Shen thought that she could not control her son, so she decided to write a letter back to the clan.

Jiang Yuzhu’s contribution should not only be known to her family, it must be spread out so that everyone in the clan knows about it!

The conversation was drawing to a close, but Shen still hadn't seen her son Xie Zhao. She tilted her head and whispered to the servants, "Did you pass on the message?"

At this moment, Xie Zhao suddenly appeared and defended Jiang Yuzhu in front of his love rival. How satisfying it would be!

Shen tried his best, but in the end it was all in vain.

What my in-laws said was indeed right, a feather duster is more effective than reasoning!

Late at night, the caw of crows suddenly rang out from the bamboo forest, adding a strange atmosphere to the originally lonely night.

Jiang Yuzhu was about to return to her room when she noticed a bamboo deep in the bamboo forest breaking, making a rustling sound.

"Ma'am, this is not good!"

Hong Xiu took out a dagger and instantly blocked in front of Jiang Yuzhu, who was so frightened that her hair stood on end.

As soon as the words fell, two people ran wildly in front, followed by a dozen men in black chasing after them.

Both groups were dressed in black from head to toe, with masks covering their faces, and were wrapped tightly.

"ah!"

Chen had never seen such a scene before and screamed in surprise.

Shen's legs and feet went weak, her face turned pale, and she was stunned.

Both of them are women in the harem, and this is their first time encountering a fight in the martial arts world.

I heard that these people are extremely vicious and will not leave anyone alive. Is there no way I can escape tonight?

At this critical moment, Jiang Yuzhu pushed her mother, Chen, and said, "Mom, let's go!"

Since it is a fight between two factions, they will not be distracted immediately. While the men in black are fighting, they will find an opportunity!

Jiang Yuzhu pulled her stunned mother-in-law Shen and pointed out a way to escape. Just as she was about to follow, the man in black beside her reacted and rushed out, determined to silence her.

"Mom, hurry up and leave. I have Hongxiu to help you!"

Jiang Yuzhu said anxiously when she saw Chen stop and rush back to protect her.

Mother Chen was unarmed and could not help but became a target when she came back!

Chen assessed the situation and reacted quickly. Seeing Shen trying to turn back, she grabbed her and said, "Let's go call for help!"

There is a warrior monk in the Huguo Temple, and someone needs to go and report it!

Shen stepped forward at the critical moment. As Jiang Yuzhu's biological mother, Chen was quite moved.

Shen and Chen fled, and Jiang Yuzhu breathed a sigh of relief.

Seeing Hongxiu struggling to resist, she ran behind Lu Yunxi and said tremblingly, "Cousin, protect me!"

The man in black only knows how to bully the women, but he disdains Lu Yunxi and wants to kill them all, otherwise it would be unfair!

Jiang Yuzhu avoided it with a clear conscience and softened her tone: "Cousin, will you protect me?"

Lu Yunxi was very upset. Now that he was needed, Jiang Yuzhu had a different attitude again. Didn’t they agree that things should go their own way?

"Cousin, I can't resist. I'm relying on you!"

If Jiang Yuzhu could run, she would have slipped away long ago, but the problem is that she didn't have the chance.

Right now, Lu Yunxi is the only one serving as a meat shield. Does that mean he is the only one allowed to plot against her?

We are all shameless, there is no need to distinguish between high and low, we are all the same!

Moreover, when Jiang Yuzhu noticed that she was hiding behind Lu Yunxi, the man in black suddenly slowed down his movements, as if he was worried.
