Chapter 59 I am your new brother-in-law
Lu Zhaoxue lowered her eyes, feigning a flattered expression, and curtsied, saying, "Thank you for your consideration, Your Majesty. I am deeply grateful."
Upon hearing this, Chu Huaiyu's smile deepened. He quickly helped Lu Zhaoxue up and pulled her into his arms, embracing her tightly.
Before long, Lu Zhaoxing was brought over by the palace servants. Her eyes were full of fear, and she was obviously quite frightened. As soon as she saw Lu Zhaoxue, she looked at her as if she had found a lifeline.
"elder sister……"
Lu Zhaoxue quickly pushed Chu Huaiyu away, took a few steps forward and hugged Lu Zhaoxing in her arms, gently patting her back, "Zhaoxing, don't be afraid, sister is here, sister is here."
"Waaaaah, sister, Zhaoxing is so scared! They took Zhaoxing away from brother-in-law! Waaaaah..."
Lu Zhaoxing looked up at Lu Zhaoxue with her tear-streaked face, her eyes filled with grievance. Lu Zhaoxue's heart tightened, and she quickly wiped away her sister's tears.
Upon hearing Lu Zhaoxing's words, Chu Huaiyu narrowed his eyes slightly, his gaze dark and unfathomable, and the atmosphere around him instantly became tense.
Lu Zhaoxue didn't even notice Chu Huaiyu. She helped Lu Zhaoxing to sit down on the soft couch and coaxed her gently, "Zhaoxing, listen to your sister. Your brother-in-law has some things to take care of and can't stay with us for the time being. I'll stay with you now, okay?"
"Okay... then sister, will brother-in-law come back? The day he came back, I saw that his mouth was full of blood, so much blood." Lu Zhaoxing's face was full of fear.
Upon hearing this, Lu Zhaoxue froze, and the image of Chu Siheng falling to the ground instantly flashed through her mind, causing her eyes to redden instantly.
"Zhaoxing, don't worry, your brother-in-law will be alright. He'll definitely come back to see you again. Be a good girl, okay?"
"Hmph, he'd better not come, otherwise..." Chu Huaiyu's tone was undisguisedly sarcastic.
Lu Zhaoxue ignored Chu Huaiyu; her heart was now entirely focused on Lu Zhaoxing. Lu Zhaoxue gently comforted her younger sister.
Since falling ill, Lu Zhaoxing's mind has become like that of a child; many things come and go quickly in her mind.
Lu Zhaoxue comforted her for a while, then Lu Zhaoxing tugged at Lu Zhaoxue's sleeve and complained that she was hungry and wanted to eat.
Upon hearing this, Chu Huaiyu instructed Eunuch Wei to serve the meal, but his expression remained unpleasant, as he was still angry with Lu Zhaoxue for Lu Zhaoxing's words.
In no time, the imperial kitchen staff had prepared a table of exquisite dishes. Lu Zhaoxing hurriedly sat down. After the three of them were seated, Chu Huaiyu, perhaps wanting to ease the atmosphere, picked up a piece of food for Lu Zhaoxing.
Lu Zhaoxing looked at Chu Huaiyu, who was serving her food, with a puzzled expression. After a while, she couldn't contain her doubts any longer and whispered to Lu Zhaoxue beside her, "Sister, who is this person? Why is he staring at me?"
Lu Zhaoxue was about to explain something when she was interrupted by Chu Huaiyu's voice.
"I am your new brother-in-law."
After saying that, Chu Huaiyu curled his lips, raised an eyebrow at Lu Zhaoxue, and looked at her with a smug look in his eyes.
Lu Zhaoxing froze instantly, suddenly finding the food in front of her tasteless. With a tearful voice, she asked, "Sister, is he Zhaoxing's new brother-in-law? Then, sister, don't you want my old brother-in-law anymore? Zhaoxing liked my old brother-in-law..."
Lu Zhaoxue couldn't help but glare at Chu Huaiyu. Had Chu Huaiyu gone mad?! How could he say such nonsense to Zhuo Xing?
"Zhaoxing, that's not how it is. Don't listen to his nonsense."
Chu Huaiyu was displeased when he heard Lu Zhaoxue's words. What she said was clearly true. Chu Siheng was a thing of the past, and Lu Zhaoxue was now his woman!
"Waaaaaah... Will I never see my brother-in-law again? Sister, you don't want your brother-in-law anymore, right? Waaaaah..." Lu Zhaoxing cried so hard that tears fell like beads from a broken string.
"Zhaoxing, don't cry... Of course, your sister wants your brother-in-law... Don't cry." Lu Zhaoxue quickly hugged Lu Zhaoxing and comforted her gently.
Chu Huaiyu slammed his fist on the table. He felt like he was about to be driven mad by Lu Zhaoxue, and shouted angrily, "Lu Zhaoxue! Say it again, who do you want?!"
