Chapter 69 The Ideal Husband I Want

Mrs. Lu fainted and woke up several times from crying. With the care of the doctor and the maid, she took medicine and fell asleep.

Because the fire was not big and was extinguished quickly, Xiao Yu deliberately concealed it and ended quietly without even alerting many people in the mansion.

Xu Chuchu leaned on the bench in the pavilion, touching the burnt part of her hair, staring at Mrs. Lu's room in a daze, with a hint of sadness on her face.

"Are you tired?" Xiao Yu sat down next to her. "Go back and rest first. We can deal with anything tomorrow."

"Not tired." Xu Chuchu scratched his arm.

"Do you have any ideas?" Xiao Yu asked sharply.

In his impression, Xu Chuchu has always been lively and positive, and he rarely sees her depressed for any reason.

Is it because they failed to apprehend the Three Mountain Immortal? Or is it because they feel the case still contains mysteries that they cannot let go?

Well, it can't be that because she felt that he had just covered her eyes on his own initiative, which was too abrupt, right?

He really didn't mean to do it. I don't know what got into him at that time, but he did this when he realized it.

And when he called her "Chu Chu", did she feel that he had overstepped the boundaries?

"Why are all men like this!" Xu Chuchu shouted angrily, scaring Xiao Yu who was daydreaming.

"Male, what's wrong with the man?"

"He's two different people before and after marriage!" Xu Chuchu said righteously, "Although the dead are the greatest...but this wealthy businessman surnamed Lu is really unfair to his wife."

Xiao Yu: “…”

Xu Chuchu: "Think about it, before we got married, he was gentle and considerate to her, chatting with her and giving her performance, pretending to be a good man."

"After getting married, he was submissive to his mother but harsh towards his wife. He watched his wife suffer injustice every day without a murmur, and he didn't care about the children at all."

"You can only know a person's face but not his heart. Every day, I have a story about fear of marriage!" Xu Chuchu said with increasing emotion, "I think if Mrs. Lu had known that wealthy businessmen were this kind of people, she wouldn't have married into this family and endured their abuse no matter how rich he was."

She talked a lot, but Xiao Yu remained silent. Finally, she spoke in a muffled voice.

“…I thought you were going to talk about the case.”

"Really?" Xu Chuchu scratched her arm awkwardly again. "I haven't had time to think about this case in detail... What do you think?"

Xiao Yu didn't want to analyze the case anymore and asked in confusion, "What do you mean by 'fear of marriage'?"

"Well, it means literally, fear of getting married." Xu Chuchu replied.

"So, are you afraid of marriage?" Xiao Yu wondered if anyone else had this problem. Is there any man who doesn't want to get married? Is there any woman who doesn't want to marry her ideal husband?

"Well, it seems a little bit." Xu Chuchu nodded honestly, but she was still a little unsure. "What if I make a mistake and marry a man like Lu Fushang in the future? Or if my future husband cheats on me, abuses me, or takes advantage of me... How terrible it would be! Although we can get a divorce, it's very troublesome. If we have children, it will be even more difficult..."

"You...wait a minute." Xiao Yu was struck by some of the words. "How can there be so many irresponsible men in the world? Why do you always think about these messed up things?"

"I've been looking at too many trending searches on Weibo." Xu Chuchu said.

"What do you mean you've seen too much?" Xiao Yu almost wanted to pick his ears.

"Nothing, nothing." Xu Chuchu hurried over. "Anyway, if I want to get married in the future, I must carefully choose a good husband and not be fooled by sweet words and petty gains."

"Then what does it mean to be a good husband?" Xiao Yu had no intention of letting her go, completely forgetting that he originally wanted to discuss the case with Xu Chuchu.

"Ah? Let me think about it." Xu Chuchu held up her chin. "A good husband should be tall, handsome, and have good character. No, the most important thing is that he should be good to me and loyal. He is not allowed to take concubines or have any ambiguous relationships with other women..."

She was just joking when she said this. She thought Xiao Yu would laugh at her wild imagination, but she didn't expect him to repeat it seriously: "Tall, handsome, loyal, and doesn't take concubines..."

"What are you doing?" Xu Chuchu felt uneasy.

"Nothing." Xiao Yu lowered his eyes. "Write it down. I'll introduce it to you later when I meet someone suitable."

"No, please." Xu Chuchu said hurriedly, "I don't trust your judgment."

Xiao Yu: “…”

Somehow, the originally cheerful atmosphere suddenly froze, and the two fell into silence for a moment, sitting quietly in the pavilion, each with their own thoughts.

It was already very late at night, and from afar I could hear the servants in the mansion beating the night watch, and then I realized it was midnight.

Xu Chuchu followed the sound and saw one or two figures passing by under the dim moonlight. The entire Lu Mansion looked empty and lonely, which made her feel a little sad.

Speaking of marriage, would she really marry a conservative man from ancient times? There are so many differences between her values ​​and those of modern men, so wouldn't it be even more unrealistic to find a soulmate in ancient times?

She suddenly thought of the divination from the day before and wanted to go to the north to find her relatives as soon as possible.

If the master were still alive, men would be nothing.

"I'm going back." Xu Chuchu suddenly said, "You should get some rest early too. Let's solve the case as soon as possible in the next few days."

Xiao Yu keenly sensed Xu Chuchu's emotional change. Although he didn't know why, he still calmly said "hmm".

In fact, when it comes to secrets, this girl probably has more secrets than he does.

If he doesn't find out clearly, he may never become the ideal husband in her heart.

——Or, it will never happen. After all, he only uses her.

…

Xu Chuchu went back to the guest room to rest. At first, she sighed at the burnt side of her hair, but finally she accepted her fate and prepared to wash it clean and then find a way to take care of it.

She took some clean water, took off her clothes, glanced casually at her arms, and suddenly froze on the spot.

After almost a moment's hesitation, she quickly put her clothes back on, took out another short shirt and wrapped it around her arms, then ran out in the night.

"I'm sorry, Miss Xu, the master has ordered that no one can leave without permission tonight." The soldier guarding the door politely stopped Xu Chuchu.

Xu Chuchu was blocked from leaving the house, with a puzzled look on her face: "Have you seen me? I am with your young master. We are both here to solve the case."

"I understand." The officer nodded, but did not give in. "But the master's order is that 'no one' can leave. Please forgive me, young lady. If you really have something important to do, you should consult the master first."

Xu Chuchu was speechless, thinking that if she had known it would be so troublesome, she would have found a deserted place and secretly climbed over the wall, but now she didn't have time to explain any more.

"Sorry!" She suddenly pulled out a short branch from her sleeve and hit the arms of the two officers in front of her with it. Taking advantage of the moment they felt pain, she slipped out from the gap.
