Murong Qinghe: "???"
What does Brother Chu mean by that?
Other things are one thing, but how can a family be involved in something like this?
I can't possibly let Brother Zu come into the bridal chamber after I marry Brother Chu, can I?
Thinking about how Chu-gege seemed to be particularly affectionate with Zu-dage over the years, could he be a womanizer?
It's not uncommon for nobles to have a penchant for male homosexuality. She grew up in this circle in the capital and knew quite a bit about it from a young age. Even some of her cousins in the Murong family had this kind of taste.
Could it be that Brother Chu is hinting at something, suggesting that I marry both of them at the same time in the future?
He definitely wouldn't have done it if it were anyone else, but Brother Zu is indeed quite handsome...
Oh dear, what am I thinking? Brother Chu is exceptionally talented and handsome, and Brother Zu is like a god. How could they possibly be that kind of person?
"Don't scare Qinghe." Zu An ruffled Chu Youzhao's hair and said irritably.
Chu Youzhao stuck out her tongue, but stopped joking.
Unbeknownst to the two, Murong Qinghe had just imagined dozens of episodes of a dramatic ethical drama.
They chatted as they traveled, and before they knew it, they had arrived at the Marquis's mansion. The maids and servants inside, who had been bored, cheered when they saw the group: "Lord Zu is back! Lord Zu is back!"
"Oh, is this the Third Young Master?"
...
Soon the entire Marquis's mansion was brought back to life.
Many of these people came from the Chu family of Mingyue City, so they naturally recognized Chu Youzhao.
"Brother-in-law, it seems you're often away from home, which has bored them all to death," Chu Youzhao joked.
Zuan could only smile wryly, realizing that he hadn't actually spent more than a few days a year in this house.
It started as a viscount's mansion, then became an earl's mansion, and then a marquis's mansion. It's likely that the plaque will change again soon.
But Zuan found it hard to feel at home here. Was it because there was no mistress here who would gently wait for him to come home every time?
Chu Youzhao, however, seemed to be an easy friend to him and started scolding the servants in the mansion, feeling that they were all slacking off while their master was away.
Many of them were servants of the Chu family, so it was only natural for her to discipline them.
Murong Qinghe looked around. She had come here with Brother Chu before, but rarely had the opportunity to come in and observe up close like this.
Brother Zu's place is indeed grand, but it lacks a bit of life and needs some decorations like flowers, plants, calligraphy, and paintings.
Oh dear, what am I thinking? This isn't something I should be worrying about.
As an unmarried girl living in a man's house, if word got out, my reputation would be ruined, and who would dare to propose marriage?
However, now that the Murong family has fallen on hard times, they can't care about anything else.
Fortunately, I have Brother Chu to keep me company. Even if rumors spread about me, I'm willing to live with him.
Her gaze quickly and gently fell on the boisterous Chu Youzhao, and she thought to herself how excited she was to live together from now on.
Wait a minute, what if the Chu family looks down on me? The Murong family has declined, and I'm a wanted criminal, while Brother Chu is the heir of the Duke's mansion.
No, Brother Chu is definitely not that kind of person, but...
The girl was originally very carefree, but after it came to Brother Chu, she became somewhat anxious and insecure.
"Someone, prepare hot water and take Miss Murong to bathe and change." Zu An also took out a bottle of ointment and pills, which he had given to Xiao Jianren earlier from the embroidery building. "Qinghe, you can apply the medicine yourself later."
He can't do this kind of thing for her, and Chu Youzhao isn't suitable either, since in the public eye she's still a man.
"Yes, thank you, Brother Zu." Murong Qinghe's cheeks flushed slightly. He had been hiding from pursuers these past few days and hadn't had time to bathe or change his clothes. He was filthy.
Soon, she was led to her room by her maid to take a bath, while Chu Youzhao took the opportunity to pester Zu An to talk about what she had seen and heard during this time.
Zuan told her a few things, mainly about the Purple Mountain Competition. He couldn't tell her more, as knowing too much would be dangerous for her current strength.
However, he still mentioned his reunion with Chu Chuyan, who entrusted him to return to the capital to take care of the Qin family and her.
Even so, Chu Youzhao's eyes lit up with admiration: "Brother-in-law, your life is so exciting! I really want to travel the world with you, sword in hand, and slaughter any bandits we encounter."
Zu An laughed irritably, "That's what happens when you don't work hard. With your current level of cultivation, you'll just get slaughtered by others when you go out into the martial world."
Chu Youzhao said shyly, "Isn't your brother-in-law with you? You can just go on a rampage, and I'll cheer you on with my laughter."
Zuan: "..."
This little girl is really full of energy.
"By the way, brother-in-law, did you and my sister sleep together after you reunited?" Chu Youzhao leaned closer to him, her eyes blinking with a gossipy gleam.
"Go away, go away, why would a young girl like you ask such questions? Aren't you ashamed?" Zu An pushed her away impatiently, clearly embarrassed to discuss his married life with his sister-in-law.
"Tch, which two were doing that kind of thing in someone else's room back then? It left a huge shock on my young mind. I never thought my usually cold sister would have such a side." Chu Youzhao pouted.
Zu An's face flushed, realizing she was referring to his past with Chu Yan at the Qin family, a memory that still made him feel embarrassed.
"Hmph, I know even if you don't tell me. My brother-in-law is such a womanizer. He must have bullied my sister again when we met again in Zishan," Chu Youzhao snorted. "What's going on between you and my sister? You're not remarrying, yet you're living like husband and wife."
"Go away, go away. Children shouldn't pry into adult matters. We all have so many things to do, we don't have the energy to think about these things." Zu An was a little embarrassed and got up, not wanting to discuss such private matters with her.
