The dim back

Zhang Yulu, accompanied by Liu Zhongqing, came to Lin Xuefeng's courtyard.

Lin Xuefeng is currently a private school teacher and is flipping through a book.

When he looked up and saw Zhang Yulu, he thought that Zhang Yulu had thought it through and changed his mind and came to find him.

Lin Xuefeng looked at Zhang Yulu and said with a smile: "I knew you would come back to me one day. How about it? Do you still remember what I did for you?"

Seeing Lin Xuefeng so conceited, Zhang Yulu had no choice but to dissuade Lin Xuefeng: "Since we are from the same hometown, I advise you to stay away from the Queen Mother."

Hearing Zhang Yulu say this, Lin Xuefeng felt very embarrassed: "So, the Queen Mother's mission failed this time?"

Seeing Lin Xuefeng like this, Zhang Yulu laughed: "With that little skill, Zhang Laojiu thought I would still be tied up in the cabin, but he didn't expect that I had already been rescued by Liu Zhongqing."

Hearing Zhang Yulu say this, Lin Xuefeng panicked: "But, but, you have no evidence."

Zhang Yulu was in a depressed mood: "Please don't say that. You are really not the Lin Xuefeng I knew before. At least you were responsible in the past."

Hearing Zhang Yulu say this, Lin Xuefeng was a little angry: "I didn't expect you to look at me like this. To be honest, I have always trusted you, but I didn't expect you to leave me and betray me."

Zhang Yulu was puzzled when she heard Lin Xuefeng's accusation: "How could I betray you? I never agreed to marry you before."

Unexpectedly, Lin Xuefeng started to play dirty: "Forget how you swore to me before? At that time, I was indeed afraid of your father's power, so I abandoned you halfway. I didn't expect that you would choose to hate me so much."

Zhang Yulu had no choice but to tell Lin Xuefeng about the current situation: "You should face the reality. I am going to marry Liu Zhongqing now, so I will tell Liu Zhongqing everything I do."

Hearing Zhang Yulu say this, Lin Xuefeng was a little unhappy: "You must have taken a fancy to Liu Zhongqing's power. If I hadn't gone bankrupt and was still the eldest young master of the Lin family, you would still be with me."

The more Zhang Yulu looks at Lin Xuefeng, the more he thinks that this person is despicable.

Thinking of this, Zhang Yulu laughed: "I really thank God for letting me see your true face so quickly. I didn't expect you to do such a dirty thing. The reason I broke up with you is because you are an irresponsible man."

Hearing Zhang Yulu say this, Lin Xuefeng began to feel sad: "Are you still holding a grudge against us for what happened in the past? At that time, Yang Piaopiao did ask me that as long as I separated from you, he would give me a sum of money so that I could start a company, but in the end, I didn't expect that the company would go bankrupt and Yang Piaopiao left me."

Unexpectedly, Lin Xuefeng would now turn the tables. Zhang Yulu was just trying to be kind: "The Queen Mother is not a good person. I advise you to be careful. You never know when the Queen Mother will kill you."

Lin Xuefeng felt very strange: "I feel that since you traveled through time, you know a lot of things. What is going on?"

Zhang Yulu didn't want to tell Lin Xuefeng about it, so she said to him, "How do I know? Don't worry about it. Just listen to me. This way, you won't be blamed, and you can save your life. You never know when you will find a secret passage to travel back, and you can return to the real world."

Lin Xuefeng immediately shook his head: "How can it be that easy? Besides, I have to find the murderer who killed my whole family here, and I will definitely find him. Since I have traveled through time and space to become the eldest young master of the Lin family, I must find a way to get back all the things that belong to the eldest young master of the Lin family."

When mentioning this matter, Zhang Yulu's heart skipped a beat, because Zhang Shaohua was indeed involved.

At this moment, Liu Zhongqing couldn't stand it anymore and rushed in, saying, "We've said all the good things to you. Don't blame us for not being gracious to you."

Hearing Liu Zhongqing say this, Lin Xuefeng was very angry: "What does our conversation have to do with you? Not to mention Zhang Yulu, she hasn't married into your Marquis's mansion yet. Even if she did, I still have a chance."

When Liu Zhongqing heard this, he looked down on Lin Xuefeng even more in his heart: "I already thought you were a low person because you relied on Widow Yang, but I didn't expect your character to be even lower. Since you can blame all the mistakes on Zhang Yulu, it seems that Zhang Yulu was right to let you go."

This angered Lin Xuefeng even more. Unexpectedly, Lin Xuefeng picked up the teapot on the table and smashed it hard at Liu Zhongqing.

Liu Zhongqing dodged quickly and said to Zhang Yulu, "Did you see that? This man is angry and embarrassed. Let the two of us deal with him properly."

Unexpectedly, Liu Zhongqing was even better. He knocked Lin Xuefeng to the ground in a few moves and threatened him, "Don't let me see you again. I will beat you every time I see you. Let's make a deal now. Zhang Yulu will be my fiancée from now on."

Lin Xuefeng lay on the ground, listening to Liu Zhongqing's provocation, clenched his fists tightly, pounded the ground, and said angrily: "I will definitely find a way to kill you, let's wait and see."

Zhang Yulu really had no choice, because she had already tried to persuade him, so she had to pull Liu Zhongqing over and said, "Let's go, the two of us, and stop paying attention to this scumbag."

On the way back, Liu Zhongqing asked Zhang Yulu: "Do you now regard Liu Zhongqing as your friend, as your fellow villager, or as your beloved man?"

Facing Liu Zhongqing's words, Zhang Yulu told the truth: "I can't really say now. After all, Lin Xuefeng and I have known each other since our hometown."

Liu Zhongqing squinted at Zhang Yulu and said, "How come you two are from the same hometown? The Lin family is in Bozhou, and you are in Beijing? How come you two are from the same hometown?"

Zhang Yulu had no choice but to lie: "It was because my health was not good a few years ago, so my father sent me to Mount Emei, and we lived there together for eight years."

Because the system had told Zhang Yulu about this matter. It turned out that whenever Zhang Shaohua saw Zhang Yulu, she would think of Liu Yue'e. Knowing that Liu Yue'e didn't like her, she felt very sad. No matter what Zhang Shaohua did, Liu Yue'e just looked down on Zhang Shaohua. So after Liu Yue'e died, she only sent Zhang Yulu to Mount Emei and left Zhang Fengxue in the villa.

After Zhang Yulu found out about this, he naturally felt unhappy, but he hadn't told anyone about it. Now that Liu Zhongqing asked about it, it was a good opportunity for him to cover up his lie.

The two men walked towards the villa while talking. Just as they arrived at the gate of the villa, they saw the Imperial Guards standing at the gate, blocking Liu Zhongqing's way: "My Lord, on the orders of the Queen Mother, we are here to search Yiren Villa. We suspect that there are a batch of items that the Queen Mother has lost."

It was because Liu Zhongqing thought of this that he placed all the supplements in the military camp.

The leading imperial guard said to Liu Zhongqing: "My Lord, we are also working for the Empress Dowager. I hope both of us can do a good job."

Liu Zhongqing nodded generously: "You are welcome to conduct a random inspection as soon as possible. I have nothing to say. The only thing I can do is to clear my grievances as soon as possible."

Zhang Yulu was unable to stop the imperial guards. Some of them went in to search but found nothing. Zhang Shaohua patted her belly and threatened the imperial guards: "Princes who break the law are guilty of the same crime as common people. Don't bully us ordinary people. Even the queen mother can't say that."

The leader of the Imperial Guard said to Zhang Yulu unhappily, "The Queen Mother asked me to tell you that it was indeed her fault this time. I hope to have a chance to invite you to the palace for tea. I am sorry to bother you to rest."

Zhang Yulu felt very strange, why the Imperial Guards didn't say these words like his father.

At this time, the system began to remind Zhang Yulu: "The Queen Mother already knows your identity, and naturally knows that your father does not love you. This is deliberately trying to provoke a fight between you and your daughter."

Although Zhang Yulu already knew it, he could immediately see Zhang Shaohua's face, which was very ugly. He was probably afraid that Liu Zhongqing was by his side now, otherwise he would definitely say a lot of unpleasant words.

Aunt Fang on the side began to speak out: "This is really incredible. I didn't expect that my daughter could still ride on Daddy's neck. The Queen Mother attaches so much importance to her daughter. After she comes, there will be no place for her to be a father."

Hearing Aunt Fang say this, Zhang Yulu perked up: "What are you talking about, Aunt Fang? Father will always be my father. Any decision I make is instructed by my father. How can a little girl like me go against my father's orders?"

The leader of the Imperial Guards looked around, kept the matter in mind, and decided to go back and report to the Queen Mother.

After the Imperial Guards left, Liu Zhongqing looked at Zhang Yulu and said, "I'm really sorry. It was indeed me who brought trouble to your Yiren Villa."

Zhang Shaohua was a cunning old man. When he heard what Liu Zhongqing said, he immediately laughed and said, "I'm sorry, I was wrong. It's all my fault. I drank a few too many glasses today."

Liu Zhongqing knew clearly that Zhang Shaohua was just putting on an act. She was simply telling Liu Zhongqing that you are still the Marquis, so of course we should speak to you wholeheartedly.

Liu Zhongqing coughed and said, "I'm really sorry to tell you this. I haven't been feeling very well these past few days. It's right for you to discipline your daughter. I have no right to interfere."

Liu Zhongqing's words relieved the awkwardness a little.

Zhang Shaohua's face changed like the weather in June. She immediately drooped her face and said to Zhang Yulu, "You are a grown-up girl who is going to be out of line. You are always running outside. Fortunately, the Marquis doesn't mind. You go back and write the female ring 100 times."

Zhang Yulu knew his current situation, so he nodded and said, "Dad, don't worry, I'll go back and write it right away."

Zhang Yulu had just sat on the stool when a dart flew in. Zhang Yulu stood up in a hurry and was about to go up to check it out when she suddenly remembered something: "In my novels, most darts are poisonous."

Zhang Yulu picked up the handkerchief beside her, wrapped her hands, and then went to pick up the dart.

When the note on the dart was opened, it was covered with a line of small words: "If you want to know your father's secret, then come to the bamboo forest in the back mountain at midnight. Please remember that you must come alone and never bring anyone else."

Zhang Yulu put the dart aside, only then was he sure that the dart was not poisonous. It seemed that this was in conflict with his novel.

Zhang Yulu was thinking: "Who sent me this dart? I will definitely find a way to find out the truth."

As it was almost midnight, Zhang Yulu rushed to the bamboo forest at the back mountain. When he reached the depths of the forest, he saw a man wearing a white bamboo hat with his back to him.

Zhang Yulu had just taken a step forward when the man said in a gruff voice, "Zhang Yulu, stop right now. If you take another step forward, you can't guarantee what you can do."

Zhang Yulu stopped obediently and said to the person in front of him: "Just tell me what you want to say. I still have a lot of things to ask you."

The man in the bamboo hat did not turn around, but said to Zhang Yulu lightly: "Your mother was killed by your father himself. The version you heard was that he and your second aunt had a fight and fell into the water together. In fact, your father locked your mother in the woodshed and starved her for three days and three nights. Later, your mother had a stroke and was slowly tortured to death by him."

Zhang Yulu felt like she was hearing a huge joke: "How can I trust an outsider like you?"

The man with the bamboo hat did not turn around, but said lightly: "It's up to you whether you believe it or not. If you don't believe it, you can go back and ask your father. I just want to tell you one thing now. I used to serve your mother. In fact, your mother's favorite man is another man, his name is Cheng Wanli."

Zhang Yulu felt very strange: "Who are you? Why do you know so many things?"

The man wearing the bamboo hat said nothing and just walked forward.

When Zhang Yulu took a few steps forward again, the person had disappeared without a trace, as if he had never been there. If Zhang Yulu hadn't pinched himself, he would have felt like he was dreaming.

After a while, Zhang Yulu felt a voice behind him. When Zhang Yulu turned around, he saw Liu Zhongqing following behind him: "How long have you been here?"

Liu Zhongqing was very puzzled: "Are you hiding something from me? I just got here."

Zhang Yulu, you must get to the bottom of this matter, but before that, you must not tell Liu Zhongqing.

Zhang Yulu vaguely felt that this matter might be related to Liu Zhongqing's father. Between Cheng Wanli and Liu Bingze, who is the man her mother truly loves?

It seems that both men are very fond of Liu Yue'e. What is going on?

With these questions, Zhang Yulu wanted to go back to the system to find answers, but there were only 30 knowledge points, so he couldn't open the system at all. Zhang Yulu had to explore slowly.
