When you come to the backyard, you will see towering ancient trees and lush flowers and plants.
Although the Earl's Mansion in Chiayi is in decline, it is a mansion built during the Earl's Mansion's heyday, and the scenery is indeed extraordinary.
As I walked onto a gravel path, I saw several century-old banyan trees along the way, blocking the scorching sun. A cool breeze blew, bringing the fragrance of flowers, which was very pleasant.
"Sister Ayuan!"
Suddenly a man stood in front of me, casting a shadow.
Xie Zhichan looked up and saw a handsome man looking at her with a gentle smile, which was gentler than the spring breeze.
It's a good-looking face indeed.
Seeing that he was as relaxed as the host of a house, he should be her fiancé whom she hadn't seen for more than ten years.
She bowed slightly and said, "Mr. Lu."
When Lu Xiuzhu heard the name "Mr. Lu", a look of desolation flashed across his face, and he said, "When we were little, you called me Brother Zhu. After not seeing each other for so many years, we are indeed unfamiliar with each other."
Xie Zhichan searched the original owner's memory carefully and found that he didn't even remember what Lu Xiuzhu looked like when he was a child. That meant they probably met before the age of three, so they wouldn't be strangers.
This other party is quite familiar.
Perhaps this is a common problem of male chauvinism. Lu Xiuzhu knew that she was his fiancée, and after meeting her, he was quite satisfied with her appearance and naturally regarded her as his. Therefore, Xie Zhichan could understand why he had such a reaction.
But she felt a little uncomfortable.
She smiled faintly and said, "Those were just the games we played when we were little. Now that we are all grown up, we naturally can't act like we did when we were little." She pursed her lips and said, "Come to think of it, I haven't seen Brother Zhu for more than ten years in the manor. It seems that Brother Zhu doesn't remember me either."
Lu Xiuzhu blushed, and suddenly felt that some words were difficult to say. After a moment of silence, he said, "How have you been doing in the manor these years? I-I know that you were sent to the manor, but you also know the situation in the Earl's Mansion in Chiayi. I was just a child back then, and I couldn't say a word in front of my uncle."
Then he said in a relaxed tone: "But now everything is fine. I passed the imperial examination and will soon be an official in the court. You are back from the manor too. We will get better and better."
He had always known about his fiancée, but he didn't remember what she looked like. He only had some vague memories of a little girl with pigtails. Before meeting her today, he had many assumptions about her and had heard rumors about how vulgar and uncultured she was, and he was also worried.
Today, I actually met her. I found that her face was as beautiful as a lotus, her figure was as graceful as willow catkins, and she was a very polite girl. Even her voice was as clear as a bell. Among the many female relatives who came today, her appearance and temperament were first-rate. The worry in my heart turned into endless love, and I instantly regarded her as my wife.
He felt a lot of guilt for neglecting her and not caring about her in the farm during those years.
After he apologized to her, he suddenly felt a lot more relieved. Ayuan was not a mean girl. She would definitely understand him and forgive him.
Xie Zhichan's ability to guess people's hearts was honed when he was on the verge of life and death, so how could he not know what Lu Xiuzhu was thinking? He suddenly felt that the man in front of him had such a good-looking face, and he felt like he had eaten a fly.
He was indeed a child back then, so she couldn't blame him on behalf of the original owner, but what about all these years? Has he ever secretly visited the original owner in the manor?
If she had seen it, she would know what kind of life the original owner lived in the manor, and she would not have said to her in a nonchalant manner at this moment, "Everything is fine now."
This is a cowardly man!
A man may not be a hero to the public, but he should at least be a support to his wife.
It’s a pity that Lu Xiuzhu has read so many books of sages, but he doesn’t even have the minimum loyalty to his fiancée. Such a man, no matter how good-looking he is, is still a piece of shit - whoever wants to enjoy him can take it, she can’t afford it!
It’s not unfair at all that this marriage was called off!
Xie Zhichan didn't want to get too entangled with Lu Xiuzhu anymore, so she bowed and said, "I heard that many court officials came today, including a fellow Jinshi from Brother Zhu's class. I guess Brother Zhu must have taken some time to come here. I want to go to the lotus pond alone, so I won't disturb Brother Zhu."
After saying that, he walked towards the pool in the middle of the pond.
When Lu Xiuzhu saw Xie Zhichan leaving, he wanted to walk with her and talk to her for a few more words, but when he thought of the guests in the front yard, he was the only male host in the house, and it was not appropriate for him to be absent for too long. He came here because he heard from the servants that Ayuan had come, so he came to see her.
Well, after they get married, he will spend more time with her and compensate her for all the hard work she has put in on the farm over the years.
After Lu Xiuzhu left, a figure jumped down from the banyan tree and walked towards the guest room in the west wing. It was Pei Yi's personal bodyguard Dan Feng.
After entering the room and closing the door, Dan Feng reported to Pei Yi, "Master, I saw Miss Xie strolling around the garden for the whole morning, and nothing happened! Mr. Lu even deliberately left the male guests in the front yard and went to the backyard to talk to Miss Xie. He didn't seem to have any bad intentions. Could it be that we are wrong? The Lu family is not planning to do anything today?"
Pei Yi was sitting in a wheelchair drinking tea. After listening to Dan Feng's report, he frowned and thought for a moment, then said to Dan Feng, "Perhaps Mr. Lu really knows nothing, and it was only Madam Lu who planned everything. Go and see if there are any suspicious people in the Lu Mansion today. If there are, follow them and act accordingly."
Dan Feng took the order and left.

Xie Zhichan, who had no idea what good show was waiting for him today, was currently watching the fish in the pavilion in the middle of the pond.
It is not the lotus season now, but the dried lotus leaves have been collected. The pond is very clear, and a group of goldfish are swimming among the broken branches. There is a kind of conflicting beauty between ruins and life.
"Ding dong!"
Suddenly a stone was thrown into the river in front of Xie Zhichan, scaring away a group of goldfish in front of Xie Zhichan and causing a splash of water.
This was followed by a very harsh sound.
"Hey, isn't this our future number one scholar's wife? She's hiding here alone. Is she afraid of being laughed at by all of us?"
