The dim back

Zhang Yulu said to Zhang Fengxue beside him: "I'm afraid this matter really needs to trouble you. I want you to see clearly who this Yu Xiaoyao is."

Faced with her sister's serious expression, Zhang Fengxue also felt that the Liu Zhongqing in front of her was not as pedantic as the outside world said.

But Zhang Fengxue listened to Zhang Yulu very much. At least his sister would not let him suffer any loss. After all, his mother died early. No matter how good Aunt Fang was to him, he was not Aunt Fang's biological daughter after all. So Zhang Fengxue always relied on Zhang Yulu. Although there was a two-year age difference between the two, Zhang Fengxue always listened to Zhang Yulu's words.

Hearing her sister say that, Zhang Fengxue also recalled, how could it be such a coincidence that Yu Xiaoyao saved her?

It seems that this cross-flower conference should be a conference for me to find the truth.

Zhang Fengxue also reminded Liu Zhongqing: "Zhang Laojiu is not someone you can easily mess with. My sister has fought with him before. This man is very scheming."

Zhang Yulu also agrees with this statement: "This is our mission, which is to complete all tasks conscientiously and seek the truth of the matter."

Liu Zhongqing is very sure of one thing: "Behind Zhang Laojiu, I think it should be this Yu Xiaoyao."

Hearing what Liu Zhongqing said, Zhang Yulu nodded and said, "Great minds think alike. Let's work together well. I hope we can find evidence to frame the Qiufeng family."

Liu Zhongqing didn't understand something: "Why do you want to help Qiu Feng so much?"

Zhang Yulu told the truth: "I just want everything to be peaceful. If we are both in Liuzhou, we will see each other again in the future. Just think of it as me making a friend."

Liu Zhongqing felt that Zhang Yulu was very real: "Let me thank you on behalf of Qiu Feng. I believe that with your help, this matter should be resolved soon."

Soon it was evening and the three of them had just arrived at the Cross-Flower Conference.

Zhang Yulu pointed at the lively scene and said to Liu Zhongqing: "This is your first time attending such a conference, you must be very excited. You must stay close to us sisters, and don't let others catch you."

The streets are bustling with people. You don't even have to move forward, as there are many people pushing you forward.

Zhang Yulu was distracted and failed to grab Zhang Fengxue, and the two sisters got separated.

Zhang Yulu kept shouting, "Fengxue, where are you?"

Liu Zhongqing on the side didn't care about that and held Zhang Yulu's hand tightly: "Let's leave here first. Most people should be on the bridge. I think Zhang Fengxue can't find us, so he will definitely look for us on the bridge."

Zhang Yulu thought it made sense, so he and Liu Zhongqing went to the bridge.

Most of the men and women standing on the bridge are couples, and each of them is saying sweet words to each other.

Zhang Yulu didn't want to observe these, she just wanted to observe her sister's movements.

After a while, seeing Zhang Yulu so anxious, Liu Zhongqing volunteered, "Don't worry, let me take care of the rest. I will definitely find your sister."

After saying these words, Liu Zhongqing walked down the bridge and went into the crowd to look for Zhang Fengxue.

Zhang Yulu said anxiously, "Find Zhang Fengxue. You two must come back as soon as possible."

Seeing Liu Zhongqing's receding back, Yu Lu was about to change direction to look when Yu Xiaoyao came over, still wearing white clothes.

Yu Xiaoyao said to Zhang Yulu, "Come sit over there with me. Doesn't your sister want to see me?"

Seeing Yu Xiaoyao's confident look, Zhang Yulu understood: "What is your purpose? Let my sister go quickly."

Hearing Zhang Yulu say this, Yu Xiaoyao shook his head: "How can I let her go so easily? She is a fat sheep that I carefully selected. As long as Zhang Fengxue is in my hands, you must cooperate with me obediently."

Zhang Yulu glanced at Yu Xiaoyao unhappily, his fingers tightly grasping the stone pier of the bridge, and said angrily: "Don't embarrass my sister, how do you want to cooperate?"

Yu Xiaoyao pointed to the teahouse next to him and said, "That's my property. Let's go in and sit for a while. I have something to tell you."

Zhang Yulu knew clearly that if she didn't go with Yu Xiaoyao today, her sister would be in danger. Faced with this situation, Zhang Yulu had no choice but to follow Yu Xiaoyao's advice and followed him silently.

Zhang Yulu thought in his heart: Liu Zhongqing came to find us quickly. He must have seen that I was alone, so Yu Xiaoyao appeared. Now I am afraid that Yu Xiaoyao and Zhang Laojiu are in contact. I believe that they must be in contact.

The two people were walking forward when someone came from the opposite direction. Zhang Yulu felt that he saw hope.

Lin Xuefeng saw Zhang Yulu and ran over with great enthusiasm: "Yulu, are you here to attend the Cross-Flower Convention as well? I'm here to stroll around as well."

Zhang Yulu turned her face away and ignored Lin Xuefeng. Lin Xuefeng touched his nose and eased the embarrassment: "Is this your lover?"

Lin Xuefeng pointed at Yu Xiaoyao and asked. Before Yu Xiaoyao could say anything, Zhang Yulu started to refute: "What kind of people have nothing to do with you? We are just strangers. Don't try to show off your presence in front of me."

When Lin Xuefeng heard that Zhang Yulu wanted to distance herself from him, he panicked: "After all, we both came from the same hometown. Please don't let me tell others about my hometown."

Zhang Yulu didn't want others to know that she had traveled through time. Now Lin Xuefeng had caught her lifeline, but Zhang Yulu fought back: "You don't want others to know what you did in your hometown. I think Widow Yang will come here soon."

Lin Xuefeng said shamelessly: "As a widow, he will not come here no matter what in order to avoid suspicion. I think your wish may be unfulfilled."

Hearing the name of Widow Yang, Yu Xiaoyao perked up: "Who was I thinking? Turns out to be Widow Yang's benefactor."

Calling him patron sounds nice, he is actually just a gigolo.

Lin Xuefeng didn't take it seriously, his face not red and his breath not out: "That's because I have the capital. You are clinging to Zhang Yulu now, either because of what Zhang Yulu has, or because you covet Yiren Villa."

Everyone knows that Zhang Laojiu is doing business with Yiren Villa.

It is possible to connect with Zhang Laojiu through the line of Yiren Villa, so that you can meet the characters after Zhang Laojiu.

Zhang Yulu activated the system at this time. After the system reminded him, Zhang Yulu finally understood: "The person behind Zhang Laojiu turned out to be Liu Zhongqing's uncle."

Zhang Yulu once again asked the system with certainty: "Who is Liu Zhongqing's uncle?"

The system didn't give any answer, which made Zhang Yulu very confused.

The system began to remind Zhang Yulu: "You can slowly understand it later. After all, Zhang Yulu will marry into the Liu family, and she will meet this uncle sooner or later."

Zhang Yulu felt the same way. At this moment, Lin Xuefeng pushed Zhang Yulu. Zhang Yulu was not prepared and did not observe Lin Xuefeng.

Zhang Yulu fell straight down the bridge. Since he couldn't swim, the moment he got into the water, his mind was filled with one thought: "If I die this time, will I be able to travel through time again? Or where will I travel to next?"

Just when Zhang Yulu felt that she was having difficulty breathing and all she could hear was the sound of water, suddenly, a pair of big hands grabbed her.

Zhang Yulu looked at the person who came, and it was Liu Zhongqing.

Lin Xuefeng also jumped into the water and swam towards Zhang Yulu. He and Liu Zhongqing worked together to push Sang Yulu ashore.

Yu Xiaoyao, who was standing on the shore, held Zhang Yulu's hand tightly and kept saying, "Let's see who is stronger in the end. If I hadn't stood on the shore, how could you have been rescued?"

Hearing Yu Xiaoyao say this, Zhang Yulu didn't care: "Thank you for helping us, but I still have things to do now."

Zhang Yulu then thanked the two people who also climbed ashore.

Liu Zhongqing said with some reproach: "I was the one who brought you and Zhang Fengxue out. I went out to look for Zhang Fengxue. In such a short period of time, you started to flirt with Lin Xuefeng and Yu Xiaoyao. You want to enter our Liu family."

Zhang Yulu was originally quite grateful to Liu Zhongqing, but when she heard what Liu Zhongqing said, she became very angry: "Who do you think you are? I have told you many times that I don't need to explain to you what I do, I always have my own purpose."

Liu Zhongqing didn't know what happened to him. He saw from a distance that Lin Xuefeng on the bridge pushed Zhang Yulu, and Zhang Yulu fell into the water.

When Zhang Yulu was about to sink to the bottom of the water, Liu Zhongqing jumped in without hesitation.

At this critical juncture, Liu Zhongqing vented all his resentment on Lin Xuefeng.

Liu Zhongqing punched Lin Xuefeng, and his nose started bleeding instantly. When Lin Xuefeng wanted to fight back, Zhang Yulu immediately tried to stop him: "Who are you guys? Why are you fighting like this?"

Liu Zhongqing was very confused and pointed at Lin Xuefeng and said, "Do you still have feelings for him? He pushed you into the water. If I had come a little later, you might have been dead."

Lin Xuefeng disagreed and volunteered, "I also jumped into the water to save Zhang Yulu just now. Don't take all the credit on yourself."

Seeing the man's behavior, Zhang Fengxue, who arrived later, also felt particularly angry: "I can tell from the first glance that you are not my good man. Since you can talk to me like this, you actually pushed me into the water. I really despise you as a man."

When Lin Xuefeng heard Zhang Fengxue's words, he looked at her with a mocking look: "Since your sister has been betrothed to someone else, and he has no intention of attending the Flower Festival, I guess you are looking for a husband?"

Hearing Lin Xuefeng say this, Zhang Fengxue felt a little embarrassed: "What's your business?"

Yu Xiaoyao, who was standing aside, immediately began to say to Zhang Fengxue: "I didn't expect you to be so punctual. As expected, you came to participate in the Cross-Flower Convention. I have been waiting for you here for a long time."

Zhang Fengxue was about to speak when Zhang Yulu stopped her immediately: "You're overthinking. There are so many good men in the world. I will definitely find a good man for my sister here."

Hearing Zhang Yulu say this, Yu Xiaoyao felt very strange: "How do you know that I am not a good person? What is your standard for judging a good person?"

Zhang Yulu said without hesitation: "Do you know what I hate most about you? It's your self-righteousness. No one is perfect. Do you think you are excellent in every way?"

Yu Xiaoyao said confidently: "I think no one can compare to me."

Yu Xiaoyao then looked at the two men in front of him and first accused Lin Xuefeng, saying, "I am not like him, relying on a widow for a living. At least I have my own abilities."

When Lin Xuefeng heard Yu Xiaoyao's criticism of him, he actually retorted: "That's because I'm prettier than you. I asked you to seduce a widow, but you don't have the ability to do that?"

Yu Xiaoyao didn't want to pay any attention to him, and pointed at Liu Zhongqing who was standing beside him and said, "Although Mr. Liu has strength and status, he has an affair with a prostitute. This makes people look down on him. How can someone like him be liked?"

Hearing Yu Xiaoyao say this, Liu Zhongqing naturally wanted to refute: "You can't just judge people by their appearance. People like you are hypocrites. You look bright and beautiful on the surface, but your heart is full of filth and feces."

Hearing Liu Zhongqing's judgment, Yu Xiaoyao smiled and said, "That depends on how powerful you are. There are not many people who can fight against me. You should go back and ask your uncle."

Zhang Yulu heard these words and suddenly remembered the system's reminder.

Zhang Yulu asked Liu Zhongqing beside him: "Who is your uncle?"

Liu Zhongqing felt a little embarrassed and just wanted to get away with it: "How capable can you be? You're just an old man?"

Yu Xiaoyao said at the side: "Don't assume that others don't know about this matter. Although he appears to be an idle prince, he is actually a wicked man who takes the court salary and sells official positions everywhere."

Only then did Zhang Yulu realize that the Liu family was truly deeply rooted in a complicated network. Since they were able to buy and sell official positions everywhere, it seemed that this was truly impressive.

Liu Zhongqing held his forehead with his hand and said, "Don't talk nonsense without evidence, and don't wait for the emperor's order."

The emperor actually had no choice but to always turn a blind eye to his incompetent brother.

Liu Zhongqing said to the people around him: "Don't listen to his nonsense. If this gets to my uncle's ears, it might bring disaster to him."

At this point, Yu Xiaoyao looked at Zhang Yulu on the side and said, "The business I want to do with you has something to do with this matter. I wonder if you are interested in listening to it?"

Zhang Yulu was just a little curious, so she nodded and said, "Then let's go over and discuss it while we drink tea."

Liu Zhongqing ran to the front and blocked Zhang Yulu's way: "Don't follow this man. Yu Xiaoyao is not as simple as he seems."

Zhang Yulu was persistent and said to Liu Zhongqing, "I have my own things to do. Don't stop me here. This kind of unnecessary obstruction will only make me more and more annoyed with you."

Hearing Zhang Yulu's words, Liu Zhongqing punched the stone pillar next to him in anger: "You are my wife-to-be, I must follow you today, otherwise you can't go anywhere."

Zhang Yulu saw Liu Zhongqing lose his temper. This was the first time she saw it.

The two people just stood there in a stalemate.
