Chapter 306: Master
A glimmer of understanding flashed in Lu Yichen's eyes. "Then why do you insist on Zhu Yu swearing? If he really wants to hold back, even an oath will be useless."
"It's just the final test of human nature." Zhong Nianyao said calmly, "In fact, even if all the family wealth is spent, Zhu Yu will not survive. Not only because of the backlash of the Five Ghosts, but also because he has harmed many people in the past. Even if he has no lives, he still has karma."
"Even his descendants are wicked to the core. However, there are still one or two good ones among them. However, even the good ones are affected by being born into the Zhu family. I'm afraid they will be plagued by illnesses in the future. And the Zhu family will end in this generation."
"If Zhu Yu can do what he promised, then I will preserve a trace of his bloodline for him, so that the Zhu family will not be extinct!"
Lu Yichen reached out his hand, gently patted Zhong Nianyao's head, and said with a smile, "Although you spoke coldly in the Zhu family, you are still very kind in your bones."
"Don't think too highly of me." Zhong Nianyao shook her head in amusement. "I'm definitely not a kind person. I do things entirely on my own accord. My master once said that I'm a willful person. I have an extremely high talent in the mystical arts, but I don't know if that's good or bad."
The first time Lu Yichen heard Zhong Nianyao mention her master, he was stunned for a moment. "I've never heard that you have a master. What kind of person is he?"
"I must have a master!" Zhong Nianyao said, "Otherwise, you would think that I learned all these profound skills by myself. Even if I have a high talent, I don't have such a skill. My master..."
After thinking for a while, Zhong Nianyao continued, "I can't really explain what kind of person he is. I can only say that he is a very interesting person and the person I respect the most. If it weren't for him, I would have died long ago."
At this moment, she had long forgotten that she was not Zhong Nian Yao of Li State, but Zhong Nian Yao of modern times.
Thinking of the person in her memory again, she could still feel a warmth. If the master hadn't picked her up, she would have starved to death or frozen to death. However, unfortunately, the master didn't stay with her for too long. When she was twelve years old, the master died of heart failure.
After that, she lived alone again. However, her master left her many books, and she continued to study on her own after his departure.
Later, she became the imperial teacher of the Kingdom of Li. However, she was still alone.
After hearing Zhong Nian Yao's words, a hint of darkness flashed in Lu Yichen's eyes.
No matter how one looked at it, Zhong Nianyao's words were inconsistent with the facts, and also inconsistent with what he knew. However, there was no need for Zhong Nianyao to hide it from him. Moreover, Zhong Nianyao's ability appeared out of nowhere. It seemed that he still had a lot of things he didn't know!
Even though he was confused, Lu Yichen didn't delve into it. "What about your master? I'll go visit him when I have time!"
"He's long gone." Zhong Nianyao shook her head, putting away the faint sadness in her heart, and then smiled. "However, it is my greatest luck to have met him and received his careful cultivation."
Lu Yichen nodded and said nothing more.
Soon, the waiter came in with the dishes.
Just after the waiter left, Lu Yichen's phone suddenly rang. He picked up the phone, took a look at the number flashing on the screen, and finally answered the call.
Not knowing what the person on the other end of the phone said, he simply replied calmly, "Okay, I understand. I'll ask her opinion. If she's willing, I'll take her with me."
After saying that, he hung up the phone, but his eyes fell on Zhong Nian Yao.
"What's wrong?"
Zhong Nianyao didn't wait for Lu Yichen, but started eating first. Now seeing the look Lu Yichen gave her, she raised her eyebrows, a little confused, "Did something happen?"
"Long Jiarui is pregnant." Lu Yichen said lightly.
Zhong Nianyao was stunned for a moment when she heard the news. Then she laughed and said jokingly, "She's pregnant, so what does it have to do with me? Why are you looking at me with such strange eyes? I'm not the one who did it."
She didn't expect that Long Jiarui was pregnant.
Hadn't Lu Chenran and Zhong Mengxuan's affairs already been exposed? How was it that Long Jiarui and Lu Chenran were still a loving couple?
However, thinking about it carefully, it didn't seem so surprising. After all, from the very beginning, the union between Lu Chenran and Long Jiarui was not based on deep love, but on the interests of their two families. Therefore, even with the existence of Zhong Mengxuan, it would not hinder the relationship between Lu Chenran and Long Jiarui.
I just don't know how Zhong Mengxuan would feel if she knew that Long Jiarui was pregnant, especially since she had once aborted a child for Lu Chenran.
"What nonsense are you talking about!" Lu Yichen laughed. "My father just called. Because Long Jiarui is pregnant, the Lu family is very happy and has specially held a family dinner. He hopes that I can bring you to this family dinner."
"It's not appropriate for me to attend your family dinner!" Zhong Nianyao frowned. "Besides, your mother and I had a big disagreement before!"
"If you want to go, go. If you don't want to go, don't go. You don't need to consider anyone's feelings." Lu Yichen said, his tone was light but firm. "Even if it's my mother, you don't have to consider her."
After rolling her eyes, Zhong Nianyao nodded, "Then I'll go with you! I'm still looking forward to what kind of expression your mother will have when she sees me!"
Before, the old lady of the Lu family had come to warn her not to try to marry into Lu Yichen's family. When she went to the Lu family's family dinner with Lu Yichen, the old lady's expression would definitely be interesting when she saw her!
Looking at Zhong Nianyao's lively appearance, a smile flashed in Lu Yichen's eyes, "Okay, the family dinner will be held tomorrow night. I'll pick you up then."
"good."
After dinner, Lu Yichen and Zhong Nianyao left the restaurant.
However, just as they walked out of the hotel door, Zhong Nianyao saw several familiar figures walking towards them.
The other party also noticed their presence. After being stunned for a moment, he came forward to say hello.
"Ms. Zhong, long time no see."
