Chapter 92 He said you're like a piece of wood, so boring!
Lu Zhaoruo coldly sized her up.
From being brought to court as a defendant to facing confrontation in court, this so-called "fisherwoman" maintained a relaxed demeanor throughout, never showing the slightest fear.
Even those who have developed a resilient character through years of battling storms should not be completely without respect for official authority.
"What do you want with me?"
Lu Zhaoruo got straight to the point.
Lin Yingyu suddenly giggled, her almond-shaped eyes curving into two crescent moons: "Oh dear, what do you think I, your so-called 'concubine,' could possibly do for you?"
She walked barefoot to the cell door, the seashell bracelet on her wrist jingling, and looked Lu Zhaoruo up and down: "But to be honest, you're completely different from what I imagined."
She tilted her head, revealing an innocent yet malicious smile: "I thought you were a shrewish, traditional woman who couldn't live without a man, but I never expected this..."
She suddenly lowered her voice, "You actually managed to trick us into coming back step by step, and even managed to get the General as your backer. By the way, what methods did you use to get on his good side? Could it be... your body?"
Lu Zhaoruo smiled slightly: "Unlike Madam Lin, who is so brazen and shameless in being a mistress."
Lin Yingyu's expression changed drastically, then she broke into a bright smile: "What mistress or not, all I know is..."
She said, enunciating each word clearly, "The one who isn't loved is the third party."
These strange remarks made Lu Zhaoruo frown slightly.
She began, "You grew up in a fishing village; you should be a magnanimous and reasonable person. How could you stoop so low and engage in such an immoral act..."
"Despicable?"
She drawled out the last syllable, a naive smile playing on her red lips, "Hey..."
She suddenly pressed herself against the wooden fence, her fingers climbing up the rough wood. "I am cherished and pampered by Rong Lang, held in his heart. He loves me to the bone. How can that be considered lowly?"
Yes, I love you to the core.
Lu Zhaoruo had a smile on her lips.
Lin Yingyu suddenly relaxed and leaned lazily against the wooden railing.
She casually stroked her pregnant belly with her left hand, gently tucking a stray strand of hair behind her ear with her right, revealing a bright smile, like a friendly girl next door chatting and laughing: "We fishermen..."
She drawled, "It's all about being fast, ruthless, and accurate."
She suddenly straightened her back, made a loose fist with her right hand, and thrust her left arm forward like lightning, making a clean and decisive spearing motion. With a nimble twist of her wrist, it was as if a real harpoon was flying in her palm.
"Who cares if it has an owner or not..."
She smiled brightly at Lu Zhaoruo, but a cold glint flashed in her eyes. "Let's fork it first!"
Her movements were fluid and graceful, carrying the ruthlessness and wildness unique to fisherwomen, while the self-righteousness in her words sent chills down one's spine.
Lu Zhaoruo took a light breath, a faint smile on her lips: "Madam Lin has used all the fishermen's skills for stealing people."
Her gaze shifted, her cool eyes landing on Lin Yingyu's smug face: "But a speared fish is always rotten, and what about the one who stole it..."
She paused, then said, "Of course it will smell bad too."
"After all, since Shen Rongzhi was able to betray me, he will eventually discard you like trash..."
Lu Zhaoruo's gaze slowly moved down, landing on Lin Yingyu's protruding belly: "He is so cruel that he can abandon his own parents and not raise them, and he didn't shed a single tear even when his biological father was splattered with blood in court..."
She suddenly chuckled softly, her voice tinged with sarcasm, "Do you really think that just because you bear his blood, you can bind him to your side like chains forever?"
"He only ever had himself in his heart; he never had a single genuine feeling for anyone else."
Lin Yingyu's smile froze instantly, and a hint of panic flashed in her eyes.
She knew all about Shen Rongzhi's cruelty towards his parents and Lu Zhaoruo.
She instinctively protected her bulging belly, but forced herself to raise her chin: "Heh..."
She forced a stiff smile, her voice carrying a forced composure, "Some people, if they can't have something, they'll desperately try to slander it."
I am different from them.
When Rong Lang held me in his arms every night, how could his burning breaths and whispers be fake? He was so resolute in abandoning his childhood sweetheart and wife for me, and so willing in taking all the blame for me...
Such heartfelt affection cannot be faked.
Moreover, she had plenty of ways to make him addicted to her like a drug addict...
Those seductive techniques, those alluring glances, those perfectly timed moans... each one was enough to make this pedantic ancient man unable to resist.
Lu Zhaoruo's expression remained unchanged in the face of Lin Yingyu's words, her eyes showing indifference.
Who is Shen Rongzhi?
Cowardice is etched into his bones, like a fish out of water, unable to live without any support.
Deeply insecure, yet craving the admiring gazes of others, he was like a clown on a stage, only daring to appear when adorned with vibrant colors.
He was born with a cold heart, and could remain unmoved even when his father's blood was splattered on the steps. However, he had a morbid obsession with the word "dignity." He would rather starve until his eyes were blurry than not maintain a gentle and refined demeanor and preserve the illusion of being a "refined gentleman."
What does someone like that know about deep affection?
He was merely indulging in Lin Yingyu's wild worship, like a hungry dog gnawing on a bone with meat still attached...
While gnawing on it, you'll grimac and make faces, but once you're done, won't you complain about the bone being too hard on your teeth?
A hypocrite who craves fame and a shameless fisherwoman—such a perfect match! They should be bound together for eternity.
Lin Yingyu stared intently at her expression, but did not see any frantic anger as she had hoped.
She seemed to disregard Shen Rongzhi as if he were just an outsider to her.
Lin Yingyu didn't believe it. She clearly loved Rong Lang to death, and was just pretending to be calm.
She stroked her pregnant belly and said casually, "Do you know what Rong Lang likes most about me?"
Lu Zhaoruo didn't want to know.
Lin Yingyu laughed to herself, "Of course, it's because you love my skills in bed."
He said you're like a block of wood, incredibly boring.
The last 'ne' was pronounced so lightly and softly, yet it felt like a poisoned needle, piercing straight into one's heart.
She watched with satisfaction as Lu Zhaoruo's brows furrowed, then added fuel to the fire: "He often said that your body was defiled and that you couldn't have children. He said he wanted to have a house full of children and grandchildren with me."
'A house full of children and grandchildren'
The four words pierced Lu Zhaoruo's eardrums.
In their previous life, they had many children and grandchildren.
Lu Zhaoruo felt a pang of bitterness in her heart, but she suppressed it and said calmly, "Is that so? Then I'd like to see how you two filthy creatures manage to have a house full of children and grandchildren."
After saying that, he turned and left.
Lin Yingyu's sweet voice came from behind: "Hey, you don't really think I'm going to be tortured, do you? I'll be out of here soon."
Lu Zhaoruo did not stop walking, but a doubt arose in her heart...
What kind of powerful backer does she rely on?
