Marry a powerful minister and remain a widow?I’m done with the book-wearing female role!

"Cousin, I said goodbye to you that day at the Jiang Mansion, but I never had a chance to see you."

Lu Yunxi changed his expression and pointed to a shop selling foreign goods on the main street ahead. The items on sale were all kinds of dazzling, and they were very popular with the ladies and ladies of wealthy families in the capital.

"On your birthday, my cousin didn't give you a birthday gift, so I'll make up for it today."

As Lu Yunxi said this, he took out a house deed from his sleeve pocket, hoping to give the shop to Jiang Yuzhu.

Jiang Yuzhu was stunned for a moment and did not pick it up.

The business of Waihai's goods shop was booming, and both Qiao Ying and Yu Jiaojiao had given her things.

Jiang Yuzhu has seen the world and has little interest in peepshows and winding music boxes.

This thing seems useless, and there is no market for it.

Jiang Yuzhu was quick-witted and transferred the goods from overseas to the craftsmen in Jiang's shop. Within a few days, the craftsmen made high imitations and sold them, making a lot of money.

Seeing his cousin's hesitation, Lu Yunxi's eyes were warm: "Why, you don't like it?"

I like it, who doesn’t like silver?

But she, Jiang Yuzhu, has a bottom line in doing things. She doesn't want anyone's money, especially from a cousin who has so many entanglements. It's really taboo to ask for his things!

Delaying it was not an option, so Jiang Yuzhu decided to cut off the peach blossom with her own hands: "Cousin, I can't accept it."

"Why do you still blame me for missing you and letting you down?"

There was a look of pain in Lu Yunxi's eyes, which made Jiang Yuzhu's eyelids jump.

After a long while, she shook her head: "No."

"No matter what happened in the past, you are my cousin. With this level of kinship, you can take over the shop with peace of mind."

A gift from a cousin to a cousin has nothing to do with the relationship between men and women.

Jiang Yuzhu rubbed her brows, her mind was extra clear. Taking over his shop meant that she was willing to rebuild the old relationship. Lu Yunxi avoided the important and took the easy, and still wanted to deceive her?

After waiting and waiting, Lu Yunxi lost patience and asked with a gloomy look in his eyes: "Why don't you accept it?"

"My mother won't let me!"

Jiang Yuzhu had an idea and replied.

Lu Yunxi: "..."

He really didn't expect this reason.

The originally harmonious atmosphere turned into ice.

Lu Yunxi always smiled, but his aura suddenly became much colder.

Jiang Yuzhu was confused. She asked several maids around her. Lu Yunxi was as famous as Xie Zhao in Jiangnan. It was obvious that he was knowledgeable and suave.

This cousin has no female relatives around him and is only patient with the original owner. If he hadn't disappeared suddenly, the two families would definitely get married.

For some reason, Jiang Yuzhu always felt that Lu Yunxi was not who he appeared to be.

The human heart is complex and has many sides.

When the two of them faced each other, Jiang Yuzhu couldn't feel any affection except for his burning eyes, and her heart went off alarm bells, and she wanted to run away several times.

"Cousin, I think the capital is not as good as Jiangnan. When will you go back?"

Jiang Yuzhu changed the topic and started talking about home affairs.

Lu Yunxi heard Jiang Yuzhu's intention to drive him away, but he refused: "The climate in the south of the Yangtze River is better than that in the capital, but there is no one waiting for my brother."

"You are my aunt's only son, why don't you stay with me and fulfill your filial piety?"

Jiang Yuzhu was embarrassed and continued to answer shamelessly, "Even if I get married, I can't live without my father, mother, brother and sister-in-law."

"Then just bring my mother to the capital."

Lu Yunxi stared at Jiang Yuzhu, trying to detect every move.

His previous hunch was correct. His cousin had long forgotten their love for each other. Not only that, he also hoped that he would not disturb her peaceful life.

Jiang Yuzhu thought for a moment: "What my cousin said makes sense, but that may not be what my aunt wants. It is only right that you get married as soon as possible so that my aunt can have a good grandson."

The words couldn't be more direct. Lu Yunxi would definitely understand.

Unexpectedly, Lu Yunxi said: "Cousin, I can't forget the past as a brother. If I marry someone other than you, I would rather never marry him for the rest of my life."

Jiang Yuzhu: "..."

If you don't want to marry, you won't marry. It's none of her business!As long as she stayed away from her, she didn't feel any guilt.

Lu Yunxi confessed his love directly, which gave Jiang Yuzhu an even bigger headache.

The Jiang family and the Lu family no longer interact, so she should change her strategy and hide from Lu Yunxi next time. If Lu Yunxi insists on letting go, it is his own business.

Jiang Yuzhu was thinking about what to say when someone stood in front of her and said: "Madam."

Seeing that it was Xie Zhao, Jiang Yuzhu stepped forward excitedly, grabbed his arm, and said with bright eyes: "Husband, didn't you go back to the Yamen?"

Xie Zhao can do it. Every time there is a need, he happens to be there.

"Jia Wu still has accomplices. My husband is afraid that you are in danger, so I came with him to have a look."

Xie Zhao touched Jiang Yuzhu's cheek. Jiang Yuzhu turned sideways uncomfortably. She expected Xie Zhao to help. Why did this guy get started first?

Feeling the smoothness in his hands, Xie Zhao's mind moved slightly.

"Thank you, my lord, for coming."

Lu Yunxi stood still, squinting as he watched the interaction between Jiang Yuzhu and Xie Zhao.

The little moves between the two of them can't be hidden, and they don't look cold and distant at all.

Lu Yunxi got the news that the couple had been at odds for many years, how could they form a tacit understanding?

It seems that it is time to punish those trash men under them.

Xie Zhao nodded lightly, even though he had said hello to Lu Yunxi.

Seeing that Xie Zhao didn't want to talk to him, Lu Yunxi put on a faint smile, downplayed the passion in his peach blossom eyes, raised his eyebrows and said: "Master Xie, I am only stopping my cousin this time. I want to express my feelings.”

Lu Yunxi held the house deed to the shop in his hand, and the provocative meaning in his words was obvious. No wonder people were said to be base, and things and people they couldn't get aroused his interest even more.

"Thank you Mr. Lu, but I don't think you need Yuzhu."

Xie Zhao looked calm and politely declined on behalf of Jiang Yuzhu.

At this time, Lu Yunxi caught the opportunity: "Master Xie knows women? Look at the wives of officials in the capital, who doesn't like things brought back from the sea?"

Although there are imitations produced by opportunistic people on the market, they cannot be genuine.

The objects outside the sea have been floating on the sea for more than a month, which consumes a lot of manpower and material resources, just to make them more valuable.

Xie Zhao said that Jiang Yuzhu didn't like him because he had the toughest mouth.

Facing Lu Yunxi's questioning, Xie Zhao always looked indifferent. He turned around, hugged Jiang Yuzhu into his arms, raised his lips and asked, "Madam, do you like it?"

Xie Zhao's voice was very soft, and his eyes were deep and a little charming.

Jiang Yuzhu seemed to see the bright and cold moon in winter, her whole body shrouded in silver frost. She flashed her eyes and nodded mysteriously.

When she realized what she was doing, Jiang Yuzhu was a little annoyed. Why was she helping outsiders but not saving face for her husband?

At least for now, she and Xie Zhao are on the same side.

"My cousin said she likes it!"

Lu Yunxi got the opportunity and took a step forward to stand beside Xie Zhao and Jiang Yuzhu and separate them.

Liang An, with his sharp eyes and quick hands, stood in front of Lu Yunxi. The opportunity to make a contribution came. His wife saw that he performed well and knew how to cook grilled fish.

Faced with Lu Yunxi's repeated provocations, Xie Zhao frowned slightly: "I will go all out for whatever Madam likes. Years ago, I was lucky enough to send a ship to the open sea. I just arrived at the capital dock today. All the objects on the ship that are open to the sea. It all belongs to the lady.”

The gadgets in a shop are really nothing special.

So... is it still a competition?
