Lu Yun: “…”

Zhou Yangling and Chen Wang Liu Chu's eyebrows jumped at the same time. They were both smart people. As soon as Luo Lingyu said that, they noticed the strange atmosphere between Luo Lingyu and Lu Yun. Chen Wang then thought: Yes, since entering the room, Lu Yun and Luo Lingyu have never spoken a word.

The more Lu Yun's face sank, the happier Luo Lingyu was talking to Zhou Yangling. Zhou Yangling didn't talk much during her illness, but she talked so much that she almost didn't read other people's faces. Chen Wang coughed several times, but Luo Lingyu pretended not to hear it. Fortunately, Zhou Yangling was kind-hearted and listened with a smile on her lips, and didn't stop Luo Lingyu from talking.

Lu Yun did not speak, and Liu Chu did not want to say more to cover up his stuttering. Liu Chu saw Luo Lingyu talking nonstop and having a great time with Zhou Zibo. The pent-up breath in his heart became heavier and heavier, and he felt a little disappointed. He secretly mocked himself for being delusional, thinking that Zhou Lang must really like a beautiful girl like Luo Lingyu, so he was willing to talk to her... He and Zhou Zibo were both men, so Zhou Zibo should not want to pay any attention to him, right?

Chen Wang was in a bad mood and looked for an opportunity to speak. He said goodbye to Lu Yun, who had been looking unhappy and couldn't sit still.

Through the curtain, Luo Lingyu turned her head and looked at the figure of the man walking away in the courtyard. The man's back was elegant, and he seemed to be very angry with her, and he walked very fast. After the man left, Luo Lingyu no longer had the mood to talk, and she looked at him listlessly, her face also turned cold.

Zhou Yangling, who was lying on the sickbed, smiled and said, "They are really a pair of happy enemies. You ignored him when he was here, but you started crying when he left."

Luo Lingyu was startled, and immediately turned around and glared at Zhou Yangling: "What did you say?!"

Zhou Yangling raised her eyebrows: "Sister Luo, do you think I can't see it? There's clearly something wrong between you and Lu Sanlang. What's wrong? Did he make you angry? Did you have a fight?"

Luo Lingyu: "Zhou Lang..."

Her tone was weak, and when Zhou Yangling looked at her with warm and caring eyes, her nose suddenly felt sore and tears welled up in her eyes. She grabbed Zhou Yangling's sleeve, leaned against the bed, and her face was pressed against her husband's sleeve, feeling extremely uncomfortable. Zhou Yangling tried to persuade her gently again, and Luo Lingyu was influenced by her husband's gentle aura, and blurted out the truth to her.

Naturally, some of the bad parts of the story were concealed: "...Anyway, he was not happy that I treated the bracelet carelessly. I knew in my heart that it was wrong, but, but..."

Zhou Yangling: "But he won't coax you, and won't let you step down the stairs."

Luo Lingyu cried, "He also took all his things away! He no longer cares about me... What's the big deal? I will ignore him too."

Zhou Yangling sighed, looking down at the girl lying on the couch and sobbing. She knew she was wrong, but she felt wronged. Zhou Yangling thought: "In fact, the reason for this is that the Lu family is more powerful. It doesn't matter if they are more powerful. Sister Luo usually relies on the Lu family's influence in socializing. The Lu family doesn't have a girl, so you two should benefit from each other. You and Lu Sanlang have quarreled to such an extent... It's nothing more than you are alone and have no money to support yourself."

Luo Lingyu's heart skipped a beat, she was shocked: she had not told Zhou Yangling that she was poor and destitute. It was so embarrassing for a girl from an aristocratic family to say that she was poor. However, Zhou Yangling pieced together the truth from her few words.

Luo Lingyu was embarrassed for a moment and immediately stood up, trying to refute Zhou Yangling. However, Zhou Yangling reached out, took her wrist, and looked up at her: "If... I am willing to help Sister Luo, so that Sister Luo will no longer worry about money. Sister Luo's predicament will be solved, right?"

Luo Lingyu's eyes widened: "...Zhou Lang, what do you mean? I can't just ask for your money..."

Her Zhou Lang lowered his eyes and smiled: "I'm not going to give money directly to my sister, but we're going to open a shop in Jianye. I also need to establish myself in Jianye, and having a shop is always better... I'll provide the capital and the people, and my sister will provide the talent and ability. If there is a profit in the future, how about you and I split it in half?"

Before she could even hear what kind of shop it was or what kind of business it was, Luo Lingyu was attracted by the money. She hid her excitement and said shyly and modestly, "I'm not as good as Zhou Lang... If we split the bill 50-50, Zhou Lang will suffer a lot. It's better for Zhou Lang to take 80% and me 20%."

Zhou Yangling: "Oh, sure."

Luo Lingyu: “…”

Why didn't Zhou Lang refuse?

Zhou Yangling lowered his eyes as if thinking about how to do this business. Luo Lingyu waited for a moment, and seeing that Zhou Lang didn't speak, she had no choice but to bite the bullet and said, "It's better if you take 70% and I take 30%. I think I have to do more."

Zhou Yangling said nonchalantly: "Sure."

Luo Lingyu tried again: "How about you taking 6 and me taking 4?"

This time Zhou Yangling finally raised her head and looked at the beautiful woman who was blinking and looking at her expectantly. She chuckled and stretched out her hand to pinch Luo Lingyu's face. The girl felt pain from her pinch, and heard Zhou Yangling's smile: "Okay, whatever my sister likes, it's up to you."

Luo Lingyu blushed: Zhou Lang is so doting on her... I really want to marry him.

In fact, if you think about how lavishly Zhou Lang spends money, he must be from a wealthy family. Zhou Lang just lacks status... and with the means and abilities that Zhou Lang has shown in front of him, if he wants to have the same status as the nobles, he must be able to do it, right?

Luo Lingyu began to seriously consider the possibility of marrying Zhou Yangling.

Chapter 56

Inside the palace gate, outside the Grand Marshal's Gate is the government office, where court officials work on a daily basis. The border between the South and the North is often at war, and the South has been in a bad situation recently, with many defeats. The court is much busier, and all the officials are discussing the war, not as leisurely as usual.

In a library, Lu Yun was leaning over his desk, flipping through the newly arrived files. Lu Sanlang was in charge of the imperial guards, and his duties included correcting officials and investigating illegal activities. The border cities were defeated one after another, and the generals and governors in the city reported to the court. Lu Yun's subordinates also became busy. Just as Lu Yun was reading by lamplight, the door of the library was pushed open from the outside, and Chen Wang Liu Chu's voice was a little sluggish: "Sanlang! Xuechen!"

Lu Xuechen raised his face from behind the half-man-high bookcase, his brows clear and his eyes looking at the man who came in.

Liu Chu's face turned red, and he closed the door and came in. He glanced at what Lu Yun was busy with, and tried to calm his serious tone: "Have you seen your cousin recently?"
