Fu Tong'er asked Qiao'er to quickly dress her and do some makeup. Just as she was about to go out, Qiao'er took out a golden phoenix hairpin and said, "Master Jiu said that the young lady needs to wear this."
Fu Tong'er looked up and said, "He ordered another piece of jewelry?"
Qiao'er said, "Isn't it? Master Jiu is very wealthy. Miss, please don't have any other thoughts."
Fu Tong'er was stunned and looked up at Qiao'er. So this hairpin was a warning from Jiu Ye? They had agreed on this last night, but this morning the man started preparing for the killing again, right? Oh, a warning, she didn't do anything out of the ordinary. He was the one who was wrong! He lied, schemed, toyed with her, and even took possession of her body! He even ordered his maid to steal the ring, and then pretended to be indifferent and watched her make a fuss! So many things, but he wanted to solve the conflict through sexual intercourse?
"Miss?"
"Qiao'er!" Fu Tong'er said in a more serious tone, "I won't wear it. Why should I wear it? And you want to warn me! I can't make friends anymore, right?"
As she spoke, Fu Tong'er stood up and prepared to leave without wearing any hair ornaments. Qiao'er quickly put away the Golden Phoenix hairpin and helped her out of Lu Zhenzhi's inner chamber.
"Young lady and Master Jiu are now intimate, and I believe they will have a child soon. When that happens, the Prime Minister will hold a grand banquet for this grandson, and the eldest master will be overjoyed because of this nephew."
"They've distanced themselves from me ever since I decided to marry into Dayan. Now that I'm pregnant before marriage, they think I'm bringing disgrace to the Fu family."
Qiao'er pushed open the door and helped Fu Tong'er out, down the yard, up the corridor, and went to the main hall in the front yard.
In the hall, Lu Zhenzhi was sitting at the main seat, while General Yi was sitting at the second seat. The table was bare, without a single dish or bowl of rice.
General You Yi was wearing a military uniform and armor, with his hands on his knees, his back straight, his face serious and calm.
Lu Zhenzhi folded his arms, his massive body leaning back in a domineering manner, his legs planted firmly on the ground. His face was stern, his eyes gleaming. He was the military commander, evidently. Even in his own residence, he was meticulously dressed. His imposing four-clawed python robe, adorned with rings and pendants symbolizing his unparalleled nobility, and a jade thumb ring symbolizing power, gave him an extraordinary aura.
At this moment, Qiao'er's voice was heard from the back corridor:
"Miss, since you and Master Jiu are already married, having a child is inevitable. Master Jiu will definitely make plans."
Lu Zhenzhi listened with a smile in his eyes. This Qiao'er was quite clever. She said this as they were about to reach the front hall, deliberately telling You Yi to hear it.
Looking at General You Yi again, he still had no change in expression and sat calmly.
Haha, it turns out to be his general!
Fu Tong'er was helped out. With every step, she felt her legs weaken. As soon as she came out, Lu Zhenzhi saw that she was walking with difficulty. Thinking of her last night, every part of her body was enchanting and charming. He couldn't help but smile knowingly. Then he stood up and took her in his arms. He lowered his head and saw that she was not wearing the golden phoenix hairpin he had customized on her bun, so he thought she was still angry.
Qiao Er took out the hairpin and gave it to Master Jiu, saying, "Master Jiu, the young lady doesn't want to..."
Lu Zhenzhi took it and told Qiaoer, "Qiaoer, ask them to serve the food."
"Yes. Master Jiu."
"Then, you, you have served the master for some time, and what you just said makes sense. Go to the office and collect two taels of silver."
Fu Tong'er was startled and looked up at Lu Zhenzhi.
Qiao'er bowed and said, "Thank you, Master Jiu!" After that, she walked out quickly, and someone came to serve the dishes after a while.
Fu Tong'er whispered, "You said you wouldn't touch him!" Lu Zhenzhi smiled faintly and helped Fu Tong'er to the table. In front of General You Yi, he inserted the golden phoenix hairpin he had ordered into Fu Tong'er's bun and said, "General You is your elder brother, so you should also greet him before sitting down."
You Yi looked at the scene calmly without panicking. He did not do anything that violated the rules.
Fu Tong'er was stunned. This meant that their relationship was exposed, right?
Thinking it was a good idea, he accepted the Golden Phoenix Hairpin on his head, and then, with the support of Lu Zhenzhi, he bowed slightly to General You Yi: "Big Brother."
When You Yi heard this, she stood up and held out her arms: "No need to be so polite, little sister."
Lu Zhenzhi smiled slightly, helped Fu Tong'er sit down, and General Yi also sat down.
Lu Zhenzhi picked up the wine pot and poured a glass of wine for You Yi. You Yi stood up and said respectfully, "Thank you, Master Jiu."
Lu Zhenzhi raised his hand and said, "Sit down. There are no outsiders here. You and I don't need to follow the camp rules."
"Yes!" General You Yi didn't care whether the words were true or not, it was always right to answer "yes".
Then, Lu Zhenzhi poured Fu Tong'er another cup of goat's milk, put his arm around her and said, "I heard that you two became sworn brothers yesterday."
When Fu Tong'er heard this, her body froze.
"Since we are sworn brothers, it has to be formal. Let the general say, right?" Lu Zhenzhi's voice was low and mellow, and in the huge main hall, he was intimidating without even being angry.
