Madam Lu's face was ashen, her wrinkled face filled with terror and rage.
Zhu Yu trapped her in the chair, his long black hair cascading down his shoulders. He opened his mouth, revealing two tiger teeth, and roared as he approached Old Madam Lu.
He already had fair skin, and he was wearing a light lotus-colored robe. In front of him was a glass lamp, which illuminated his face. His red lips and white face, from the perspective of Old Madam Lu, looked like a fierce demon baring its fangs to devour people, which frightened her so much that she screamed and almost fainted.
Unfortunately, she had just fainted in the afternoon. Not only did Old Hong give her acupuncture, but he also fed her medicine. Now she couldn't faint even if she wanted to. She could only watch helplessly as the "evil spirit" in front of her got closer and closer to her.
Almost instantly, he was about to be swallowed whole by the evil spirit in front of him.
Granny He had already fainted from fright.
"Xiao Yun, you mustn't be rude to your grandmother!" Lu Yucheng rushed over after hearing from Luo Wang that the old lady had summoned the eldest young lady to the Longevity Courtyard.
He had expected to see Xiaoyun being punished by her grandmother, forced to kneel, and even beaten until her skin was torn and bleeding.
But to their surprise, upon entering the main room, they saw two burly men lying on the ground, Granny He unconscious, and the rest of the servants looking terrified.
The old lady was so frightened that she almost lost her mind; it was as if she had ascended to heaven and been reborn.
Lu Yucheng's lips twitched violently.
Zhu Yu stopped, stood up straight, and thought, "This is so boring. Why did my brother come so early? I haven't had enough of being scared yet."
Lu Yucheng came over, glared at him, and helped Old Madam Lu up.
Old Madam Lu's lips were as white as paper as she gripped Lu Yucheng's hand tightly: "Cheng, Cheng'er, she, she's not, she's not your sister, she's a ghost, a ghost!"
Lu Yucheng frowned: "Grandmother, she is not a ghost, she is Xiaoyun. I taught her martial arts."
My grandmother must not know that my younger sister and Prince An are fellow disciples. Otherwise, given her mindset, she will say that my younger sister is shameless and has ruined the family's reputation.
Madam Lu looked at Lu Yucheng in disbelief: "What...what did you say? You taught him?"
"Yes, I taught her. She only has some basic skills. They're enough for self-defense, but not enough to face a real expert. She can only scare people."
Madam Lu finally breathed a sigh of relief, but she was also quite frightened.
She knew Lu Yucheng was trying to comfort her; no matter how you looked at it, that brat's martial arts skills didn't seem like something she only knew superficially and used to scare people.
In her youth, she had served alongside the old Duke of Zhenguo on the battlefield, and knew that what Lu Yucheng taught her was far more than that.
At this moment, she dared not say anything about punishment anymore: "Take her, take her away, take her away."
The maidservants nearby rushed over to help Old Madam Lu.
Lu Yucheng bowed to her again, then grabbed Zhu Yu's hand and led him away.
Old Madam Lu's forehead was covered in cold sweat, and her back was almost soaked with cold sweat. She leaned tremblingly against the maid, her cloudy eyes, clouded from shock, looking over.
Suddenly, Zhu Yu turned around and glanced at her, his expression sinister and full of murderous intent.
When Madam Lu saw that look, her knees buckled and she was about to kneel down, but fortunately, the maidservant held her up tightly.
When I looked up again, I was already out of the longevity hospital.
Zhu Yu fiddled with the jade bracelet on his wrist, and in the half hour he spent at Changshou Courtyard, his score jumped another five hundred points.
The thousand points he had painstakingly earned by sacrificing his health were quickly wiped out by eight thousand points within a few days of returning to the Duke of Zhenguo's mansion.
Ugh, just thinking about it makes me depressed.
Hearing his sister's sigh, Lu Yucheng turned around and said, "Xiaoyun, you're being too reckless. Grandmother is old; what if she gets scared and something bad happens to her?"
Zhu Yu lowered his head and fiddled with the bracelet on his wrist: "Who told her to punish me without even knowing the facts? I'm not a pushover, I won't let her mold me like that."
Lu Yucheng shook his head helplessly. His grandmother's actions were indeed a bit excessive. Fang Shi was already vicious, yet she didn't realize that her negligence had led to the loss of her mother and many others, and she even blamed her younger sister.
The actions of Prince An and the Fifth Prince today truly moved him, reminding him of what Zhu Dan had said to him a few days ago.
He stopped and looked at Zhu Yu, then asked seriously, "Xiao Yun, what are you planning to do about your situation?"
"Um?"
Lu Yucheng looked around to make sure no one was watching, and said, "Although you and Prince An had consummated your marriage because of the poison of the Four-Colored Grass, it was due to the circumstances at the time. I am not a stubborn person; innocence is not worth mentioning in the face of life."
"Oh." Zhu Yu wondered if Lu Xiaoyun would come to see him tonight. She had gone to Mucheng these past few days, and he missed her quite a bit.
"But afterwards, the Fifth Prince still came to me and said he still wanted to marry you as his Fifth Prince's consort. He didn't mind what happened that day. What do you think?"
Ha, he knew that the fifth brother, that madman, still had his eye on Lu Xiaoyun.
Is this guy crazy? There are so many young ladies from wealthy families who like him, but he doesn't like any of them. Why does he have to compete with him for Lu Xiaoyun?
Zhu Yu gritted her teeth, stomped her little foot, and said angrily, "Brother, how many times have I told you? I don't like the Fifth Prince, I don't like the Fifth Prince, and I don't want to marry him!"
“But he said he would marry no one but you. What if he asks the Emperor to grant you a marriage decree? Xiao Yun, can you still refuse to marry him? During this time, the Emperor has been unwell, and all state affairs have been handled by the Fifth Prince. The court officials all know that the throne of the Great Zhou will be handed over to him sooner or later.”
"What if, once the Fifth Prince sits on that chair, he insists on marrying you? Wouldn't that be an easy task?"
Zhu Yu took a deep breath; this was exactly what he was worried about.
What if the fifth prince is shameless enough to issue an imperial decree to take Lu Xiaoyun away?
Her hand, which was absentmindedly fiddling with the jade bracelet, paused. Right, as long as she remained a woman, Zhu Dan wouldn't be able to do anything about it, would he?
Zhu Danruo would have asked his father to issue an imperial decree for marriage long ago, but he has been delaying doing so because the body inhabited by him is now his.
Zhu Yu suddenly laughed. Ha, as long as he and Lu Xiaoyun don't switch back, the fifth brother can't ask for a wife.
Well then, that's a good 1000 points!
Uh, how about I come over early tomorrow morning to pay my respects to Madam Lu again, and ask her to contribute a few dozen more points?
Lu Yucheng was confused by his sister's inexplicable laughter: "What's wrong? What are you laughing at?"
Zhu Yu, intending to tease his brother, smiled and said, "Brother, why don't you go and beg the Emperor to let me marry Prince An? He wouldn't stole his brother's wife, would he?"
Lu Yucheng flicked Zhu Yu's forehead: "Give up on that idea. It's only been half a year since the Emperor ordered your divorce, and you're already asking him to remarry you to Prince An? Do you take the imperial edict for granted? A child's game?"
Zhu Yu rubbed his head, which was sore from Lu Yucheng's flick: "Then, then you just let your sister be slept with by Prince An for nothing?"
