The dim back

Zhang Yulu was just lying on the bed, wondering who was framing her.

Feeling a figure floating outside the window, Zhang Yulu pretended to sleep and covered her head with the quilt to block out the drugs.

After a while, Zhang Yulu felt someone coming in from outside the door, and this person was tiptoeing.

Since Zhang Yulu had her back to the door, people coming in could not see Zhang Yulu's expression at all.

Zhang Yulu's heart rose to her throat, and she thought to herself, "What if the person who comes in has a knife in his hand? Should I prepare for resistance in advance?"

When Zhang Yulu thought of this, the nails of her hands dug deeply into her palms, and she nervously clenched her hands over and over again.

Fortunately, this man did not have any weapon. He just walked to the window and took a look. He confirmed that Zhang Yulu had been knocked unconscious by him, and then he felt relieved.

Zhang Yulu heard this person rummaging through his room. When no one was paying attention, Zhang Yulu looked through the gap in the quilt and saw that the person in the room was someone he had never thought of.

The woman in the room is Zhang Yulu’s most trusted nanny.

The wet nurse is usually a very honest person. Ever since Zhang Yulu came here from the parallel world, he has been observing the situation at Yiren Villa these few days.

Zhang Yulu felt very strange. First of all, it was her father Zhang Shaohua. On the surface, it seemed that her father was thinking about her, but in fact, her father was willing to marry his daughter off in exchange for money for the sake of Yiren Villa.

And there is Aunt Fang, who appears to be humble on the surface, but in fact, has more schemes in her heart, and every word she says is calculated.

The only thing that makes Zhang Yulu feel comforted is that he has a good sister, Zhang Fengxue.

Zhang Yulu felt more and more sad. She didn't expect that she would come to this parallel world and still not be so well off. She was much better off in the modern world.

What annoys Zhang Yulu even more is Liu Zhongqing now.

Although he is her fiancé, she is still thinking about a prostitute in her heart. Qiu Feng is a scheming girl. Being able to live in a place of brothels, she must have rich life experience.

Unexpectedly, a wet nurse was added to the mix, which caught Zhang Yulu off guard.

Zhang Yulu said to herself: "It's better to take everything lightly. As long as I don't care about anything, I will definitely live a happy life. I'll just be a fool."

Just as Zhang Yulu was thinking, the nanny took a stool and sat beside his bed.

The nurse looked at Zhang Yulu and said, "What a good child you are. After so many years of getting along, grandpa should really treat you as his own child. We all knew that this trip to the Liu family would be dangerous, but I didn't expect that the master would still be so cruel."

Hearing the nanny say this, Zhang Yulu perked up and pretended to lie on the bed, motionless? Hoping the nanny could say more.

Zhang Yulu heard the nurse talking to herself again: "Everyone knows? The Liu family is just looking for someone to have children. Mr. Liu is already old, and the eldest son Liu Zhongqing thinks about prostitutes every day. There is also a five-year-old son at home, and it seems that he will not be able to succeed. If this eldest daughter marries, she will have to be both a mother and a sister-in-law. It seems that life will not be easy."

Only then did Zhang Yulu realize that there were still people who cared about him in the entire Yiren Villa.

The nurse reached out and touched Zhang Yulu's head: "I can only sit here and watch you quietly when you are asleep or unconscious. I don't know how long I can watch you. You are going to marry into the Liu family soon. You have to fend for yourself in the future."

After the nurse had said these words, she began to get up.

Through the gap, Zhang Yulu saw the wet nurse walk to the dressing table again. She was busy with something in front of the dressing table. Suddenly, a secret compartment opened behind the dressing table.

The nanny was looking for something in the secret compartment. After looking for a while, she put the thing back intact.

Zhang Yulu was shocked: "I didn't know there was such a thing in my house. It seems that I really didn't know anything about Yiren Villa."

Zhang Yulu saw the wet nurse pour a packet of medicine powder into the teapot on her table, and then she picked up the teapot and shook it. After making sure everything was OK, the wet nurse walked out of Zhang Yulu's room with peace of mind.

As soon as the nanny left, Zhang Yulu took out the handkerchief she carried with her and covered her nose with it.

He slowly moved to the side of the table and opened the teapot. He saw a layer of white medicine powder floating on the teapot. No wonder Zhang Yulu felt dizzy recently. It might be because he drank this medicine.

Zhang Yulu came to the dressing table again, but didn't see anything. Where did the nanny press just now? Because Zhang Yulu was looking at something through the gap in the quilt, he couldn't see it clearly.

Zhang Yulu fumbled around the edge of the dressing table and finally saw a raised button at the lower right corner.

When Zhang Yulu pressed it, the dressing table popped open and she saw a small box inside. After Zhang Yulu opened the box, she found something inside.

This thing looks like a key and it appears to be very long. What does it open?

Zhang Yulu decided to hide the key, maybe it would be useful someday.

Zhang Yulu tapped the bottom of the box with her fingers and felt that the bottom was suspended.

Zhang Yulu picked up her hairpin and pried open the bottom of the box. She saw a thick layer of oil paper underneath, with something wrapped underneath the paper.

After Zhang Yulu opened it, he saw what was written on the paper.

It turned out that Zhang Yulu was picked up by Zhang Shaohua from outside. At that time, the villa had just been built and Zhang Shaohua's wife had passed away, so Zhang Shaohua had to hold the child.

Who left this letter? What is its significance?

With all these questions, Zhang Yulu decided to find the answers first.

Just at this moment, hearing some restless sounds outside the door, Zhang Yulu immediately put her things away.

He quickly sat down at the table, holding his aching head and leaning against it.

Zhang Fengxue ran in from outside and said to her sister anxiously, "Sister, the government just sent us a message that Liu Zhongqing has been arrested."

Zhang Yulu acted very calm, because Liu Zhongqing went to the brothel to see Qiu Feng, but there was a customer who insisted on Qiu Feng serving him. Liu Zhongqing had already paid a lot of money, but he didn't expect it to turn out like this.

As the couple of the Liu family, neither of them agreed and neither wanted the autumn wind to enter their home, but Liu Zhongqing just liked this autumn wind.

Liu Zhongqing thought for a long time and decided to have another talk with the madam. Who knew that this customer was a famous rogue in the capital?

People call him Zhang Jiuye. He makes his living by collecting protection fees from all the shops every day. He has a few people under him and does all kinds of evil.

Seeing that Liu Zhongqing came from another place and seemed to be very rich, he went to find Liu Zhongqing on purpose.

How could Liu Zhongqing possibly be a match for Master Zhang Jiu? He was beaten black and blue in the face in a few blows, and Master Zhang Jiu also had some connections with the government, so Liu Zhongqing was arrested.

As her fiancé now, Zhang Yulu naturally had to go to the yamen to bring the man out.

Zhang Fengxue complained, "How could it be possible? The man who had just proposed marriage for a few days ran off to a brothel and was even caught and taken to the government office. Sister, can you be happy if you marry such a man?"

Zhang Yulu sighed and touched Zhang Fengxue's face: "My sister, you are so naive. Do you think I can get rid of this marriage?"

Hearing what Zhang Yulu said, Zhang Fengxue immediately said to her sister: "Sister, then you should pack your luggage quickly. I will run away with you at night, so that you don't have to marry him. I heard that Mr. Liu is an old man with a bad temper."

Because in his novel, this Old Man Liu is indeed very powerful. Fortunately, he has developed a system now, and after the system awakens, it can help him overcome difficulties.

It’s just that in the novel before, this Old Man Liu just appeared and was brought into the book.

Zhang Yulu was still a little curious: "I just want to see what will happen next. What did Dad say?"

Speaking of this Zhang Fengxue, he got angry: "Don't you think Dad is ridiculous? He knew that this matter was shameful, but he still insisted on bringing Liu Zhongqing back from the government office. I think it's better to let Liu Zhongqing suffer in prison to let him know that we in Yiren Villa are not easy to mess with."

Hearing her sister say this, Zhang Yulu felt somewhat comforted: "There is still someone who cares about me. I am really happy. It is imperative for me to marry him this time. Otherwise, I am afraid that these shops under our villa will fail."

Zhang Fengxue was a little nervous: "I heard that this Zhang Jiuye is not easy to deal with. Even though he is a scoundrel, he has many dignitaries behind him."

Zhang Yulu laughed: "Do you think Dad is such a simple person? He just wants to get in touch with Master Zhang Jiu through this incident? I didn't expect that Dad would have dealings with such a person now."

Zhang Fengxue was particularly unconvinced: "Are you kidding me, sister? How could Dad be such a person?"

Zhang Yulu spoke out the story: "It is because our family's business is not doing well, so every time my father hopes that Master Zhang Jiu will build a business for him. So in the past two years, I have done some unethical things with Master Zhang Jiu, and the goods are inferior, so the family business will gradually decline."

Zhang Fengxue cursed even louder when he heard this: "I think Dad is getting old and confused. How can he trust such a person? I must explain this matter to Dad clearly. We don't need that Liu family to arrange a marriage. We have to rely on our own strength."

Zhang Yulu felt that her sister was too naive, so she told the truth: "My sister, you really need to have some sense in your heart. Do you know why your sister wants to marry him?"

Zhang Fengxue said shamelessly: "Isn't it because our family has fallen on hard times that Daddy remembered the childhood marriage you arranged, and that's why he wants to marry you off?"

It seems that her sister really knows nothing. Zhang Yulu decides not to tell her sister about the good things in her life. She will slowly think of a solution. Maybe this matter can be resolved someday.

Zhang Yulu thought of this and wanted to fool her sister: "My dear sister, I haven't eaten the sweet-scented osmanthus cake you made for me for several days. If I really get married, I won't have the chance to eat the sweet-scented osmanthus cake you made. Can you help me make some?"

When it comes to cooking, Zhang Fengxue perks up: "Tomorrow, I will be a 15-year-old. By then, I can also attend the annual flower-crossing convention with my sister."

Zhang Yulu nodded happily: "That's good, of course. In three days, it will be the Cross-Flower Festival."

Zhang Fengxue couldn't wait any longer and immediately asked her sister: "Sister, do you have any nice clothes and hairpins? I didn't wear a hairpin before because I wasn't old enough. Now I can finally wear a hairpin."

Zhang Yulu touched the hairband on her sister's head and said with a warm heart: "I hope my sister can find her ideal husband when she attends the flower festival this time."

Zhang Fengxue blushed and said, "When we were born, all our identity information was in the Ministry of Households. As long as we have someone we like, we can go there and tell them, and then the two families can exchange all the Gengtie."

Hearing Zhang Fengxue say this, Zhang Yulu scratched Zhang Fengxue's nose and said, "I didn't expect my sister to be so eager to get married. It seems that it's true that when a girl grows up, she can't be kept."

Zhang Yulu, whether in this world or before she traveled through time, will always be blank when it comes to feelings.

Thinking about myself in modern times, I am already 30 years old and still a modern novelist, and a small writer who writes one book and flopped. I am as bad as I can be and can only live by updating my novels and getting the attendance award every day.

Life is very difficult. There is no other way. Zhang Yulu may have traveled through the book through his own thoughts, hoping to change his life here.

Now seeing Zhang Fengxue in front of him: "Women dress up to please themselves. Girls over 15 years old should really be anxious to get married."

Zhang Fengxue teased Zhang Yulu: "Sister, come with me to the Cross-Flower Convention. Although you are engaged to this Liu Zhongqing, if sister sees someone you like, you can cancel the engagement with the Liu family."

When Liu Zhongqing was mentioned, Zhang Yulu remembered the key point: "Did your brother ask you to ask me to go to the government office to bring Liu Zhongqing back?"

Zhang Fengxue just remembered and slapped his thigh: "How could I forget about this? Let's go there quickly, or Dad will be angry again."

The two sisters ran to the front and saw Zhang Shaohua standing at the gate of the villa, looking anxious. She kept pacing back and forth and saw Zhang Yulu running over.

Zhang Shaohua was a little angry: "Why are you so late? If you bring Liu Zhongqing with you late, that old Liu will definitely quarrel with me. Your marriage must not be cancelled."

Zhang Yulu disagreed: "A man who visits brothels, do you expect me to have a good attitude towards him? Do I have to greet him with a smile?"

Zhang Shaohua also felt that her daughter was wronged, so she softened her attitude and said, "Who made our business so bad? That's why we can only listen to others obediently. Daughter, just bear with it."
