Liu Yueru smiled sarcastically. Men are so powerful. As long as you give them a little color and coax them a little, they will satisfy you.
How ironic.
He really thought that the so-called talented women, no, it should be said that all the literati did not understand obscene lyrics and songs. Little did he know that these were all written by those literati who claimed to be noble.
Since Wu Xingliang wanted to see her trying to please him, then she would try to please him. After all, her family was in ruins now. If she wanted to live comfortably and gain a foothold successfully, she had to rely on Wu Xingliang.
As for Wu Xingliang, she only needs to put in half the effort she put in dealing with Yu Zhiheng.
Liu Yueru looked at the woman in the mirror. She was in the prime of her life with a delicate face, but she went from heaven to hell overnight. From now on, she had to walk all the paths on her own.
As for the woman who caused her to reach this point, she will never forget her in her life.

Lin Xiaoxiao has been very happy these days. The uproar caused by the death of Yongbo Hou in Tiandu will not affect her at all. Instead, more and more people have come to Tiandu to buy medicine recently.
Because the cold pills and granules are easy to take, they quickly gained a reputation. Now she is still hesitating whether to open a third store. Now Sang Yu has given her all the rights, but she is a little worried, afraid that she will not do well.
Fortunately, some happy things happened in the past few days, which made her less anxious.
Bai Zhi came to propose marriage again.
Although Lin Mugen had rejected him harshly last time, Bai Zhi thought about what Lin Xiaoxiao said last time, hesitated for a long time, and still came.
Of course, this was also something Lin Mugen had not expected. When he saw Bai Zhi handing him a large amount of banknotes and real estate shops, he was stunned for a while.
"What are you doing?"
"Uncle." Bai Zhi bowed. "This is all my savings over the years. When I marry Xiaoxiao one day, I will certainly not let her down."
"Hmph!" Lin Mugen slammed his things on the table. "I thought we made it very clear last time. Do you think I'm short of this money?"
"Of course not..."
"Daddy——" At this time, Lin Xiaoxiao rushed in, "Daddy, I do."
When Lin Mugen saw Lin Xiaoxiao rushing in, his face immediately darkened. "As a girl, do you still have any sense of shame? How can a girl come here and decide her own marriage?"
"This is my marriage, of course I have to make my own decision." Lin Xiaoxiao said firmly. She has always been sensible, but on this matter she was determined to refute Lin Mugen.
For a moment, the situation was deadlocked.
In the end, it was Bai Zhi who persuaded Lin Xiaoxiao. Lin Xiaoxiao looked at Bai Zhi and left reluctantly.
Lin Mugen understood everything when he saw this and sighed helplessly.
Seeing Lin Xiaoxiao leave without even looking at him, he sat down helplessly. His hands were shaking when he picked up the teacup. After taking a sip of tea, he finally stabilized a lot. He said the first words to Bai Zhi in a gentle voice, "Sit down."
Bai Zhi then sat down and heard Lin Mugen slowly say, "Xiaoxiao had a very hard childhood."
He spoke slowly, as if he was recalling something. His bearded face contained only a pair of eyes, which looked a little cloudy and expressionless.
"I'm not a good father. I haven't fulfilled my responsibilities as a father. Not only did I fail to protect her as she grew up, but I also let her be bullied at home because I had no news of her. She was at the most adorable and happiest age, but she was constantly doing laundry and cooking, being beaten and scolded, and she had no father to protect her."
"I owe her this."
"Now I want to protect her and be nice to her, but she doesn't seem to need it anymore."
Lin Mugen spoke slowly, "I want to find someone who truly loves her and marry her off with honor. Obviously, you're not a suitable choice."
"But, she likes you, that's all." Lin Mugen sighed deeply. "After you get married, if you feel there's something wrong with her, you don't have to scold her or hit her. Just send her back to me and I'll talk to her myself."
"If one day you encounter any danger, or if you put her in any danger, I hope you will send her back. I, Lin Mugen, may not have other abilities, but I have done my utmost to protect my daughter since then."
"I've lived a life of wandering and danger, and have narrowly escaped death. I have a clear conscience towards my Lord, but I feel guilty towards my family. So I hope my daughter will have peace, happiness, and a fulfilling life."
After Lin Mugen finished speaking, Bai Zhi stood up and bowed respectfully. "I, Bai Zhi, swear here that for this lifetime, as long as I live, I will definitely ensure Xiaoxiao's safety. Even if I die, I will arrange everything she has to go through in advance."
"After marriage, I will definitely make Xiaoxiao happy and healthy."
Lin Mugen sighed again.
At this point, Lin Xiaoxiao's marriage was settled.
After Sang Yu knew about this, she went to find Bai Zhi once.
When she saw Bai Zhi, he was standing on the roof, enjoying the summer breeze, his sleeves fluttering, looking like a hermit.
When he saw Sang Yu coming, he flew down with his expression unchanged, "I know why you are here."
Sang Yu handed the wine in her hand to Bai Zhi, "Freshly brewed peach blossom wine!"
Bai Zhi took it and said, "I've quit."
"You, an alcoholic, are actually going to quit drinking?"
"How can you marry your sister if you don't stop drinking?"
Sang Yu paused, "Brother, you should know that my sister..."
"I know." Bai Zhi interrupted Sang Yu, "When have you ever seen me meddling in other people's business?"
