The Soul Returns: The Peerless Imperial Daughter Begins to Abuse the Scumbag

Chapter 823 Why don’t we go out for a walk?

Yu Zhiyan's face turned even redder, and she stamped her feet: "Cousin, if you do this again, I will be angry."

Her beautiful eyes opened wide, and a hint of anger flashed in her eyes.

Those pink cheeks were slightly puffed up because of anger, just like a cute puffer fish with puffed cheeks, making people want to reach out and poke it.

Seeing this, Qin Ze realized that he had gone too far in his joke.

He quickly handed the sachet back to her, and said with a smile: "Okay, okay, my dear cousin, it's okay for me to be wrong. I won't tease you anymore."

"But, speaking of which, according to my cousin, Mr. Lu from the Duke of Zhenguo Mansion is deeply in love with you. I wonder what my cousin thinks?"

His eyes became serious as he stared at Yu Zhiyan, waiting for her answer.

Yu Zhiyan took the brocade box and held it tightly in her arms, as if it was her whole world.

She lowered her head slightly, avoiding Qin Ze's gaze, and whispered in a voice as thin as a mosquito:

"Cousin, I... I haven't made up my mind yet. He is indeed very good to me. In fact... in fact, how could I not know his feelings?"

"To be honest, I do have some feelings for Lu Ziche."

"However, marriage is a matter that affects a woman's lifelong happiness, and it cannot tolerate any carelessness or rashness, so I have to be extremely cautious."

Hearing this, Qin Ze's cynical and playful smile slowly faded away, replaced by a solemn and serious look.

He stared straight at Yu Zhiyan and said slowly, "What my cousin said makes sense. Marriage is indeed a matter that needs careful consideration."

"However, I have also heard about the character of Second Young Master Lu. Whether considering his family background, personal moral cultivation, or the extraordinary talent he has shown in cultivation, Second Young Master Lu can be said to be an outstanding and superior person."

"If he can always be sincere and caring to you, then it would not be a bad choice for you to marry him."

"Of course, if you also like him, why not give you two more opportunities to get to know each other? In this way, perhaps you can know more clearly whether the other person is the one you can spend your life with."

After listening to Qin Ze's advice, Yu Zhiyan nodded slightly: "Cousin, I understand."

Seeing this, Qin Ze stretched out his right hand and gently patted Yu Zhiyan's shoulder, saying in a gentle tone:

"My cousin is smart and knows how to handle things. It's fine as long as you have a clear judgment on the matter in your heart."

"It's just that... seeing how Mr. Lu was so bold and fearless in expressing his feelings to you today, I think he must be truly and deeply in love with you. You should consider him carefully."

Upon hearing this, Yu Zhiyan just nodded slightly again and then remained silent, as if she was lost in some kind of contemplation.

At this moment, a few snow-white clouds are floating slowly in the blue sky.

The golden sunlight shines through the gaps between the dense branches and leaves, pouring down like a rain of golden arrows, and projecting onto the ground, forming spots of light of various shapes and sizes, like a bizarre natural painting.

The flowers in the yard swayed gently in the breeze, emitting bursts of fragrance.

Qin Ze stared at the exquisite sachet in Yu Zhiyan's hand and said softly, "Cousin, love is like drinking water, you know whether it is hot or cold. Love can't be rushed, you take your time to think about it."

"But, speaking of which, Mr. Lu was able to personally make such a sachet for you, which shows that he really loves you! Although the stitching of this sachet is rough, it is full of love. You must cherish it."

"Cousin can only give you advice, the final decision is in your hands. But no matter what choice you make, cousin will support you."

Yu Zhiyan gently stroked the sachet and nodded thoughtfully: "Well, cousin, I understand."

Qin Ze smiled and said gently, "That's great. Cousin, just stay here and think about it carefully. I won't bother you anymore."

After saying that, he turned around and walked out of the yard slowly with light steps.

Only Yu Zhiyan was left standing quietly in the yard.

Yu Zhiyan just sat quietly in the yard, as if time had stopped.

She always held the sachet tightly in her hand, her eyes were sometimes blurred and sometimes focused, as if she was searching for an answer deep in her heart.

Before we knew it, night had quietly fallen.

The inky black sky is dotted with countless twinkling stars, like dazzling gems inlaid on it.

At night, Yu Zhiyan placed the sachet next to her pillow and lay on the bed, but she still couldn't calm down.

She tossed and turned in bed, the figures of Lu Ziche, every word he had said, and the words her cousin had said during the day constantly appearing in her mind.

"Maybe, I should give myself a chance, and also give Lu Ziche a chance."

Yu Zhiyan whispered softly, her voice as thin as a mosquito, and it seemed that only she could hear it.

……

The next day, the sunlight shone through the window onto Yu Zhiyan's face, like a layer of golden gauze.

Yu Zhiyan was wearing a light blue silk dress, sitting quietly and gracefully in the study.

The bookshelves around the study are filled with various ancient books, exuding a faint scent of ink.

She was holding an ancient book in her hands and reading it attentively.

Suddenly, the sound of hurried footsteps broke the silence of the study.

A maid dressed in emerald green clothes walked in hurriedly.

After she knelt slightly and saluted, she quietly informed Yu Zhiyan: "Miss, Master Lu Ziche is here to see you."

Upon hearing the news, Yu Zhiyan's heart trembled violently, and the book in her hand almost fell uncontrollably.

The handsome and passionate face of Lu Ziche yesterday instantly appeared in her mind, and a trace of panic quietly crept into her heart.

She hesitated for a moment, calmed herself down and said, "Please ask him to come in."

Not long after, Lu Ziche was seen wearing a white brocade robe with delicate silver patterns embroidered on the corners, which gleamed faintly in the sunlight.

He walked into the study with brisk and slightly anxious steps.

When he saw Yu Zhiyan sitting at the desk, his originally deep eyes lit up instantly and an ecstatic smile immediately broke out on his face.

Before Lu Ziche could open his mouth to speak, Yu Zhiyan interrupted him as if to break the sudden tense atmosphere.

She stood up and said softly, "Lu Ziche, this place is too restrictive, why don't we go out for a walk?"

After saying that, she lowered her head slightly, avoiding Lu Ziche's burning gaze, and walked towards the door.
