Chapter 329 Your Heart Has Already Sold You Out

"This is the big sister who is willing to help others when she sees injustice." Lu Li smiled sweetly and told them how Ye Hongliu saved them.

"Big sister is beautiful and kind-hearted. She is the best person in the world."

Hearing Lu Li's praise, Ye Hongliu was flattered.

She didn't expect Lu Li to give her such a high evaluation.

"Thank you, little sister." She lowered her head, smiled shyly, and deliberately showed her best angle to Lu Yanshi.

"No, I'm telling the truth! You're the best person." Lu Li praised her without sparing any effort.

While praising, he secretly glanced at his father.

Seeing that his daughter liked this man so much, Lu Yanshi's attitude towards Ye Hongliu became much softer.

"Thank you for your help, young lady. Qiqi, give this young lady one hundred taels of silver."

[Haha, my father really has a crush on this bad woman! ]

[Otherwise, why would I give her so much money! ]

[I don't think my father will be able to pass the test.]

[When this woman makes a move, Father will definitely be fooled and take her into the harem.]

Lu Li bit her cheek and glanced at her father angrily.

Lu Yanshi:?

What nonsense is Xiaojiu talking about? How could he possibly take this woman, whom he had only met once, into his harem?

"I'm not the kind of person who would repay a favor, so the money is not necessary." Ye Hongliu acted in a noble manner.

"I saved your daughter, just doing a good deed every day."

[Yes, what you want is not money, but my father's body! ]

[Hehe, you want to seduce my father into the harem, give birth to a child, and seize the throne. You have a very good plan. 】

[This princess will never let you succeed. ]

[But before that, I still have to see how my father performs.]

[If he is seduced successfully and fails my test, I will no longer like him. ]

[He also made his mother, sister, and brother dislike him! 】

Lu Li complained angrily in her heart.

Lu Yanshi roughly figured out the whole story from her thoughts. The woman in front of him saved Xiaojiu with bad intentions.

Xiaojiu knew that she had other intentions, but he still brought her back on purpose and spoke well of her in front of him.

Is this the law-enforcement fishing that Qu Fufeng mentioned?

Lu Qi looked at Lu Li helplessly.

My silly sister, your inner voice has betrayed you long ago.

Are you still testing your father?

This time, your father is using his superb acting skills to deceive you.

"Young lady, you are a person of high character and integrity. I admire you. I am vulgar and actually used money to humiliate you. This is my fault." Lu Yanshi poured a cup of tea and handed it to Ye Hongliu.

"I will use tea instead of wine to thank you for saving my daughter."

Ye Hongliu took the tea handed to her by Lu Yanshi, her eyes moving around, seeming a little shy.

"Okay." She drank the tea.

Just as I was about to chat with Lu Yanshi for a few more words, I heard him ask me to see him off.

"We've finished our tea and thanked her. Qiqi, you and Guard Meng should take this girl home together."

The smile on Ye Hongliu's face froze.

This was totally different from what she had imagined.

How could the emperor send her away with just a cup of tea???

Lu Li didn't understand what her father did and was a little confused.

"What are you standing there for? It will be dark soon and it will not be safe for you to go back alone." Lu Yanshi urged.

"Yes." Lu Qi nodded and looked at Ye Hongliu.

"Young lady, please."

Lu Yanshi did not play by the rules, which disrupted her plans.

Dozens of ways to deal with the situation flashed through Ye Hongliu's mind.

She bit her lip hastily, squeezed out tears, and shook her head: "Don't send me off, I have nowhere to go."

"My parents died early, and I only had my younger sister to rely on. Unfortunately, she passed away two years ago. She went to the street alone to buy candy figurines, was robbed of her money, and was beaten to death."

Ye Hongliu wiped her tears as she spoke, crying like a pear blossom in the rain.

"So when I saw my little sister being robbed today, I didn't care about being scared and rushed to save her. I was thinking, how great it would have been if someone had rescued my sister at that time."

【You are really good at making up stories. 】

[Your parents are clearly still alive and well. If they knew that you were saying outside that they had died a long time ago, I think they would be so angry that they would die on the spot.]

[Younger sister? How can you have a younger sister? You only have two younger brothers. ]

Lu Yanshi and Lu Qi listened to Lu Li's inner thoughts and learned the truth, and they could not feel the slightest sympathy for her.

The guards who couldn't hear it couldn't help but shed tears in their eyes.

Lu Xuan cried even more with tears in his eyes.

"Ninth sister, this elder sister is so pitiful. She has nowhere to go. Why don't we keep her here?" He pulled Lu Li's hand and cried.

[Foolish Wang Xiang, luckily I took you away, otherwise, you would have been cheated of your life sooner or later.]

[This woman is full of lies, and only a fool like you would believe them.]

Lu Li is troubled by the simple Lu Xuan.

But she still had to cooperate with Lu Xuan on the surface.

After all, her purpose is to test her father!

"Yes, Dad. How about we keep our elder sister? We have picked up so many people along the way, so she won't make a difference." Lu Li pulled her father's sleeve and begged.

"Yes, godfather, she is so pitiful, let's keep her." Lu Xuan also nodded.

He cried so hard that his tears and snot almost flowed onto Lu Yanshi's hands.

Lu Yanshi gritted his teeth and used a handkerchief to wipe away his tears and snot, feeling extremely depressed.

What a sin! This adopted son is more troublesome than my biological son.

Ye Hongliu almost laughed out loud when she saw this scene.

Great, things went better than she thought.

With the help of these two children, the emperor will definitely keep her, and her plan can be implemented earlier.

"Well, since you can't bear to part with this girl, then keep her." Lu Yanshi was just about to find out what kind of power was behind her, so he went with the flow and agreed.

"Will this be too much trouble for you?" Ye Hongliu tried to play hard to get.

"If you think it's a bother to us, you don't have to stay. I'm very open-minded and always respect other people's choices." Lu Yanshi responded with a wry smile.

Ye Hongliu: ...

She saw through it and knew that she couldn't be polite to the emperor.

So I could only bite the bullet and say, "Although I am afraid of troubling you all, your daughter is so much like my sister that I can't bear to leave her. I will leave after some time."

"Qi Qi, take this girl to the guest room on the second floor to rest." Lu Yanshi gave the order.

Ye Hongliu didn't dare to say anything more, for fear of making things worse and being sent away by Lu Yanshi.

So he followed Lu Qi and left obediently.

Seeing this, Lu Li immediately breathed a sigh of relief, fearing that her father would insist on sending Ye Hongliu away.

If that's the case, how can this test continue?

"Xiaojiu, Lu Xuan, please sit down. Today, as your father, I will teach you a lesson." After sending everyone away, Lu Yanshi looked at the two children with a serious face.

[What does Father want to say? It looks a bit scary. I’m afraid.]

Lu Li didn't understand why his father left them alone.

After exchanging a glance with Lu Xuan, they both sat down on their chairs, ready to listen.
