Cui Yulu, known as the jinx of Cui Family Village, is about to get married. Under the guise of doing what's best for her, her aunt accepts eight taels of silver from the Han family in the neigh...
As Cui Yulu stepped out of the clinic, she thought she should go and check on Tuoba Xuan. If Du Sanniang was really in danger, she would definitely not be able to get over it.
She had just walked about a hundred meters from the clinic when a beautiful young woman dressed in gorgeous clothes suddenly blocked her way.
Cui Yulu was anxious and didn't want to get entangled with her any longer, so she stepped to the left, only to find that the woman blocked her way again.
She raised her eyes, a sharp glint flashing in her clear eyes before dimming. Cui Yulu realized the identity of the woman before her.
"Miss Cui should know who I am by now, would you do me the honor of having some tea?"
Wen Yu's voice was gentle, and her watery eyes held a sparkle of starlight.
His appearance did indeed resemble Cui Yulu somewhat.
"I have nothing to say to the princess. Let's take our leave now, as I have urgent business to attend to."
Cui Yulu couldn't be bothered to listen to what she was saying; the most important thing right now was to find Du Sanniang as soon as possible.
"But I have something to tell you, and you have to listen to it all, or I won't hesitate to use some tricks to take you away."
Wen Yu was a gentle yet domineering little princess, and no one had ever dared to speak to her like that before.
Upon hearing Cui Yulu's answer, he first smiled, then looked at Cui Yulu.
"That's not up to you."
After saying this, she gestured to her attendants to grab Cui Yulu and take her to the restaurant, but she underestimated Cui Yulu's abilities.
Cui Yulu easily dodged the hands of her attendants. Several hidden weapons flew past, and the attendants lost their energy and fell asleep one after another.
Are you satisfied now?
Clearly, Wen Yu hadn't expected Cui Yulu to be so powerful; he was no match for her.
"Since you're unwilling to talk to me elsewhere, let's settle this here."
"You should have seen Han Yu'an before, and you should know about my relationship with him. So I'm ordering you to stay far away from Han Yu'an, or don't blame me for being ruthless."
Wen Yu glared domineeringly at Cui Yulu.
"Your business is none of my concern. Do whatever you want, but don't waste my time."
After saying that, Cui Yulu pushed Wen Yu aside and walked straight ahead.
"What do you mean by 'our business'? If you hadn't seduced him like a vixen, he would have married me long ago."
Wen Yu deliberately provoked Cui Yulu with her words, thinking that she would get angry, but to her surprise, she laughed.
"Hehe, you are really ridiculous. You are a princess of a country, yet you can say such shameless things. I really admire you."
Cui Yulu glanced at her smugly and ran away quickly.
Wen Yu was so angry that she stomped her feet behind him.
"Hmph, I don't believe I'm inferior to you. Han Yu'an will definitely be mine. So stop pestering me and making yourself look shameless."
"Say what you want, I don't care. If you want to lose face here, I'm not going to play along."
Cui Yulu left the area with practiced ease and arrived in the suburbs. Based on the location given by Tuoba Xuan, she took a quick look and saw that the house had been demolished, but Tao Wan was nowhere to be seen.
She figured there was nothing wrong here, but as she pondered the problem, a group of men dressed as barbarian soldiers quietly appeared behind her.
While Cui Yulu was searching for clues, a dark shadow suddenly swirled around her, and Cui Yulu felt a wave of dizziness sweep over her.
He then lost consciousness.
When the group saw Cui Yulu faint, they quickly disappeared into the distance.
Fu Xiaoyu's bodyguards, who were patrolling nearby, witnessed everything.
"Deputy General Lin, the barbarian soldiers just took Miss Cui away. What should we do next?"
Lin Yun fell into deep thought upon hearing this. Was Han Yu'an actually condoning the barbarian princess bullying Yu Lu, or was Han Yu'an completely unaware of this matter?
But the fact that he and the princess arrived in Jingyuan Town one after the other must mean there was something else going on.
"Let's observe secretly for a while, and then everything will come to light."
Lin Yun instructed his men to continue keeping watch here, while he himself went to the Han family to get to the bottom of things.
At this moment, the Han family was immersed in the joy of Han Yu'an's return, and Liu Meie held his hand and kept talking non-stop.
"You've been gone for more than half a year, don't you miss your family?"
"I have been tied up with official duties and it has been inconvenient for me to leave. I asked the Emperor for some time and then returned home early."
Liu Meie nodded happily.
After all, Han Yu'an's current status is not ordinary, and he will always have more official duties, so there's nothing he can complain about.
Moreover, Han Yu'an would send Liu Mei'e a sum of money every month, which greatly improved the Han family's living standards.
"Is there any way to salvage your relationship with Yulu?"
Liu Meie had always hoped that Han Yu'an could win Cui Yulu back, but now she felt that Cui Yulu and the Han family were drifting further and further apart.
If Han Yu'an can easily keep Cui Yulu this time, then the Han family will truly be fulfilled.
"Aunt, let's not talk about these things for now. There's plenty of time. She'll definitely come back someday."
Han Yu'an gently comforted Liu Mei'e, and then went into the front hall to sit down and drink tea, continuing to chat with Han Bao.
Before they knew it, it was lunchtime. A group of soldiers pushed open the gate of the Han family's house, and a beautiful young girl walked in slowly. Her features bore a resemblance to Cui Yulu.
This reminded Han Chunying that this woman might be her third brother's princess.
But now that her third brother is back, why is she following him? A surge of anger inexplicably rose in Han Chunying's heart.
He found the princess in front of him utterly displeasing.
"Who are you, and what are you doing in my house?"
Han Chunying's tone wasn't very friendly, and Wen Yu wasn't stupid; she could tell that the woman in front of her disliked her.
But this didn't deter her. After all, she had the imperial decree bestowing marriage upon her, and she and Han Yu'an were destined to be together for life.
“I am your betrothed sister-in-law, and I have come here today specifically to see Yu’an.”
As she spoke, Wen Yu took off a crystal-clear jade bracelet and was about to put it on Han Chunying's wrist.
"It was a bit rushed since it was my first time here, so I didn't bring any decent gifts. This bracelet is a small gift for my sister."
Wen Yu looked at Han Chunying with bright, sparkling eyes, grabbed her wrist, and was about to put the bracelet on her hand.
"Don't try that on me. I'm not going to fall for it. Take your things and leave with your people right now, or I'll report you to the authorities."
After Han Chunying finished speaking, she was about to return the jade bracelet, but Wen Yu did not take it. As a result, the bracelet fell straight to the ground and shattered into pieces.
Han Chunying could tell that the jade bracelet must be very valuable, and now that it was broken, she felt a surge of fear.
He seemed somewhat at a loss.
Wen Yu noticed her embarrassment and immediately had an idea.
The noise outside naturally alerted Han Yu'an and Liu Mei'e inside the house, and the two of them came out at the same time.
