Chapter 102 Fighting
When it gets dark, a single man and a single woman meet in a bamboo forest. Shouldn't they express their love to each other?
In order to have a secret meeting, Lu Yunxi carefully prepared to play the piano and recite poems, and set up a table in the bamboo forest, waiting to have a few drinks with his cousin Jiang Yuzhu.
"Cousin, what did you say?"
Lu Yunxi's expression gradually stiffened, he slowly raised his eyes, and even the muscles on his face were twitching slightly.
Jiang Yuzhu once insisted on marrying no one else but her and even swore an oath to Buddha, but now she changed her mind faster than turning the pages of a book and denied everything that had happened before.
Lu Yunxi grabbed Jiang Yuzhu's wrist fiercely, angry and shocked: "I don't believe it!"
Jiang Yuzhu slapped Lu Yunxi's hand, with a slightly cold curve on her lips: "Cousin, it would be impolite if you continue to pester me."
What does it have to do with her whether Lu Yunxi believes it or not?
The reason why she asked him to talk it out was also for the sake of the original owner. After digging deeper, Jiang Yuzhu couldn't help but expose Lu Yunxi's affectionate personality.
"Cousin, I treat you sincerely, why do you do this?"
Lu Yunxi's clenched fists trembled, and he roared, his voice becoming hoarse.
Jiang Yuzhu quickly took a step back and kept a safe distance.
Seeing her distant behavior, Lu Yunxi's eyes turned red: "These years, I have had a very difficult time in the outer sea. Now I come to the capital, not intentionally to destroy your reputation, but just want to wait for you from afar, and I will be satisfied with just looking at you silently."
Wonderful, really wonderful!
If Jiang Yuzhu hadn't noticed the sinister look that flashed across Lu Yunxi's eyes, she would have really thought of him as the affectionate male partner she wanted but couldn't get.
But after exposing his true face, Jiang Yuzhu shuddered.
If she gets cheated, there's no telling how she'll be exploited.
There was one thing Jiang Yuzhu didn't understand. Lu Yunxi was fully qualified to be awarded an official position, so why didn't she just work hard as an official? Getting close to her and getting on the Jiang family's big ship didn't necessarily mean she would be able to rise to the top.
"You know how painful it is to ask for something but not get it!"
Lu Yunxi poured a glass of wine, raised the glass and drank it all, with a hint of bitterness on his lips. In his heart, there was only the vast territory of Da Qi, but it was a pity that the person sitting in the highest position was not him. One day, he would trample everyone under his feet!
Jiang Yuzhu sighed and said, "I know."
The other party did not play by the rules, and Lu Yunxi was stunned again. He adjusted himself for a moment and said, "Cousin, do you also have someone you want but cannot get?"
Jiang Yuzhu plucked a bamboo leaf and pulled the corner of her lip: "Yes."
Lu Yunxi subconsciously asked: "Who?"
"Xie Zhao."
Jiang Yuzhu was very calm. It was not appropriate to cheat others at this time.
Why do men always think that women want to be devoted to one person? As the only daughter of the Jiang family, Jiang Yuzhu only wants to eat, drink, have fun and make money.
Being around men all day long has a very narrow vision.
Lu Yunxi couldn't help but raise his eyebrows, a sneer appeared on his face: "So you trampled on my brother's kindness so much, but you didn't get any mercy from Xie Zhao?"
Jiang Yuzhu asked nonchalantly, "You are different too?"
Everyone is just pretending anyway, it doesn’t matter.
Lu Yunxi: “…”
The atmosphere was tense again, and awkwardness filled the air.
Jiang Yuzhu didn't give Lu Yunxi a chance to think, and said earnestly: "Cousin, sometimes giving up is also a kind of freedom."
Take my advice and don't bother her anymore.
Jiang Yuzhu implicitly told Lu Yunxi that he would not get any benefits from her.
After a while, Lu Yunxi finally found her voice and asked with narrowed eyes, "Cousin, do you treat Xie Zhao the same way?"
"Of course not!"
Jiang Yuzhu said confidently, "He is my husband, how can he be the same?"
Lu Yunxi was choked again. Jiang Yuzhu was strict with others but lenient with herself. She was playing a double standard. For a moment, he really wanted to break her neck.
Sensing that Lu Yunxi was about to get angry, Jiang Yuzhu hurriedly said a few words to comfort him: "Cousin, you are talented and handsome, why worry about not having girls like you?"
Outside the bamboo forest, Shen was quite moved and sighed that her son was lucky.
After three years of neglect, the daughter-in-law Jiang Yuzhu remained the same, and I don’t know how much grievance she suffered.
Shen thought that she could not control her son, so she decided to write a letter back to the clan.
Jiang Yuzhu’s contribution should not only be known to her family, it must be spread so that everyone in the clan knows about it!
The conversation was coming to an end, and Shen still hadn't waited for her son Xie Zhao. She turned her head and whispered to the servants, "Did you pass on the message?"
How satisfying it would be if Xie Zhao suddenly appeared at this moment and defended Jiang Yuzhu in front of his love rival!
Shen tried his best, but in the end, it was all in vain.
What my in-laws said was indeed right, a feather duster is more effective than reasoning!
Late at night, the caw of crows suddenly rang out from the bamboo forest, adding a somewhat eerie atmosphere to the originally lonely night.
Jiang Yuzhu was just about to go back to her room when she noticed the bamboos deep in the forest breaking, making rustling sounds.
"Ma'am, this is not good!"
Hong Xiu took out a dagger and instantly blocked in front of Jiang Yuzhu, who was so frightened that her hair stood on end.
As soon as the words fell, two people ran wildly in front, followed by a dozen men in black chasing after them.
Both groups were dressed in black from head to toe, with masks covering their faces, and were wrapped tightly.
"ah!"
Chen had never seen such a scene before and screamed in surprise.
Shen's legs and feet went weak, her face turned pale, and she was stunned.
Both of them are women from the harem, and this is the first time they have encountered a fight in the martial arts world.
I heard that these people are extremely vicious and will not leave anyone alive. Is there no way I can escape tonight?
At the critical moment, Jiang Yuzhu pushed her mother Chen and said, "Mom, let's go!"
Since it is a fight between two factions, they will not be distracted immediately. While the men in black are fighting, they will quickly find an opportunity!
Jiang Yuzhu pulled her stunned mother-in-law Shen and pointed out a way to escape. Just as she was about to follow, a man in black nearby reacted and rushed out, determined to silence her.
"Mom, hurry up and leave. I have Hongxiu to help you!"
Jiang Yuzhu said anxiously when she saw Chen stopped and was about to rush back to protect her.
Mother Chen was unarmed and could not help but became a target when she came back!
Chen assessed the situation and reacted quickly. Seeing Shen trying to turn back, she grabbed her and said, "Let's go call for help!"
There is a warrior monk in the Huguo Temple, and someone needs to go and report the news!
Shen stepped forward at the critical moment. As Jiang Yuzhu's biological mother, Chen was quite moved.
Shen and Chen escaped, and Jiang Yuzhu breathed a sigh of relief.
Seeing that Hong Xiu was struggling to resist, she ran behind Lu Yunxi and said tremblingly: "Cousin, protect me!"
The men in black only know how to bully the women, but they are dismissive of Lu Yunxi. They want to kill them all, otherwise it would be unfair!
Jiang Yuzhu avoided it with a clear conscience and softened her tone: "Cousin, will you protect me?"
Lu Yunxi was very upset. Now that he was needed, Jiang Yuzhu had a different look on her face. Didn’t they agree that things would go their own way?
"Cousin, I can't resist. I'm relying on you!"
If Jiang Yuzhu could run, she would have escaped long ago, but the problem is that she didn't have the chance.
Right now, Lu Yunxi is the only one serving as a meat shield. Is he the only one allowed to plot against her?
We are all shameless, there is no need to distinguish between high and low, we are all the same!
Moreover, when Jiang Yuzhu noticed that she was hiding behind Lu Yunxi, the man in black suddenly slowed down his movements, as if he was worried.
