The dim back

Zhang Yulu felt that this matter was extremely embarrassing. It was such a shame that she had to go to the yamen to pick up her future husband.

But under the arrangement of Zhang Shaohua, Zhang Yulu proudly brought the silver and came to the yamen.

Lord Lin saw Zhang Yulu and greeted her with a smile, "So you are the eldest daughter of Yiren Villa. I'm afraid you came here for Mr. Liu's matter, right?"

Zhang Yulu said without hesitation: "Since you came from so far away to bring me a dowry, and now you have been arrested by the master and taken to the government office, I must find a way to bring you back."

After Zhang Yulu finished saying these words, he placed the silver on the table.

Seeing the white snowflake silver, the master laughed and said, "I didn't expect Yiren Villa to be so generous. I won't say much. I will accept the silver first, but there is someone who wants to see you."

Zhang Yulu found it very strange. Since someone wanted to see me, why didn’t he go directly to Yiren Villa?

Just when Zhang Yulu was feeling surprised, a young man in white clothes holding a folding fan walked in from the outside. Zhang Yulu asked in confusion: "Who are you?"

Hearing what Zhang Yulu said, the young man in white lifted the ribbon around his waist and said calmly: "It doesn't matter who I am. What's important is that I want to tell you one thing. If you marry Liu Zhongqing, your hard life will begin."

Zhang Yulu felt that this person was probably not a good person. A person would not remind himself for no reason. Zhang Yulu was very clear about this.

Zhang Yulu asked the visitor very straightforwardly: "What's your name? I should at least know your name."

The young man in white was also very straightforward: "My name is Yu Xiaoyao, you will slowly understand what is going on."

Zhang Yulu didn't waste time talking to him: "Why should I cooperate with you? Why should I listen to you?"

Yu Xiaoyao was confident, waving the folding fan in his hand and said, "Aren't you waiting to marry into the Liu family? Do you want to run the shops under your control? I will be of great help to you in the future."

Zhang Yulu feels that for some things, it is better to rely on oneself than on others, and one should not rely too much on others.

Zhang Yulu thought about this and refused sternly: "I don't need your help. If you have a purpose, then you can try to find a way yourself. I can't help you, and I don't want to help you."

After saying these words, Zhang Yulu turned around and left in a hurry. After all, the purpose of coming here today was to take Liu Zhongqing back.

Watching Zhang Yulu's back as she walked away, Yu Xiaoyao sighed, "How ridiculous! We have the same blood flowing in our bodies, so why am I so different? Sooner or later, I will take back what belongs to me. If you don't believe me, just wait and see."

Zhang Yulu walked out of the house and, without thinking too much, followed the bailiffs to the prison.

When the bailiff opened the door, Liu Zhongqing's face was covered in dirt and he looked extremely embarrassed.

Seeing Zhang Yulu coming, he felt a little embarrassed: "I'm really sorry, I didn't expect that I would need you to redeem me."

Zhang Yulu was not polite: "I'm not that kind, my father asked me to come here, so how can you be a guest in our house?"

Liu Zhongqing thought that when Zhang Yulu saw him for the first time, she would definitely question him and blame him for actually starting a conflict with others for Qiu Feng. It was really embarrassing to even be arrested and thrown into jail.

Seeing Liu Zhongqing's expression, Zhang Yulu said frankly: "Don't think that things are so simple. I feel that Qiu Feng is not an ordinary person. I'm afraid that few of those who can contact Zhang Laojiu are good people."

Hearing Zhang Yulu belittling his beloved like this, Liu Zhongqing was a little angry: "I don't allow you to say that. Qiu Feng is just unlucky and her family has fallen on hard times, otherwise she wouldn't have been sold to a brothel. If there is a chance, I plan to redeem her."

This is how Zhang Yulu originally wrote about Qiu Feng in the book. In the end, Qiu Feng died in a brothel.

Zhang Yulu felt that Qiu Feng should have a good ending, so in this parallel world, Zhang Yulu also hoped that Qiu Feng would have a good destination.

Zhang Yulu politely invited Liu Zhongqing: "Since I have redeemed you, please come home with me as soon as possible. In a few days, you should leave here quickly."

After saying these words, Zhang Yulu walked away first.

Liu Zhongqing felt that he should go and see Qiu Feng. He wondered if Zhang Laojiu would continue to harass Qiu Feng now that he was locked up.

Zhang Laojiu is a scoundrel. No matter what he does, he does it without any rules.

The two men had a conflict yesterday and one of them was thrown into jail, while Zhang Laojiu is still at large.

When Liu Zhongqing rushed to the brothel, Qiu Feng was playing the piano in the room and nothing looked different.

Seeing Liu Zhongqing coming, Qiu Feng immediately greeted him and said with special concern: "They didn't do anything to you, did they? I have asked many adults for help, and I believe it must be their help that got you released."

Liu Zhongqing immediately explained: "This time, it was my fiancée Zhang Yulu who used money to redeem me?"

Qiu Feng felt very sad when she heard what Liu Zhongqing said, and she began to complain to herself: "It's all my fault that my family has fallen into poverty. I used to be the daughter of a wealthy family. If it were in the past, I would have the financial strength to tell you what you said. It seems that I really can't help you. Zhang Yulu is indeed much better than me."

After Qiu Feng said these words, two tears fell from the corners of her eyes. She looked particularly charming and lovely.

Seeing his beloved crying, Liu Zhongqing tried to comfort her in a panic: "It's all because I'm not good enough. Please don't cry anymore. If you have anything, just tell me. Don't keep it in your heart."

Qiu Feng told the truth: "It's all my bad luck. My indenture is still in the hands of the brothel owner. I need 100,000 taels of gold to redeem myself."

After all these things, Liu Zhongqing also felt that there was no time to lose, and immediately found the madam: "I want to redeem Qiu Feng now."

Qiu Feng never thought that it would be a blessing in disguise, because because of this incident, he could gain his freedom.

When the madam saw Liu Zhongqing holding the banknote, she said with a big smile on her face, "Everything is easy to talk about, everything is easy to talk about."

Qiu Feng finally got his freedom and happily held Liu Zhongqing's hand: "Should you take me back to Liuzhou? Back to the Liu family?"

This matter really made Liu Zhongqing very embarrassed: "I really thought too much. I haven't told my parents yet, but Zhang Yulu did agree. She seems to be easy to talk to."

Qiu Feng disagreed: "This only means that this woman doesn't like you. If she really likes you, she will definitely be jealous and will definitely give me a cold shoulder."

Hearing Qiu Feng's words, Liu Zhongqing said, "You are right. As long as I don't like Zhang Yulu, you two can be safe."

Qiu Feng raised the corner of his mouth: "Sometimes people change. Can you promise to be so good to me forever? I have seen many different kinds of men here. How many of them can be loyal to their wives?"

Liu Zhongqing immediately swore to the heavens: "I will never let you down."

After Liu Zhongqing finished speaking, he took out a few banknotes from his pocket and said, "Take these banknotes and go to Liuzhou. Settle yourself first. I will go back to Liuzhou in a few days."

Looking at the banknotes in his hand, Qiu Feng sighed: "As expected of you, you are the grandson of the old marquis. Although your father does not want to serve as an official in the court, it seems that this title should go to you in the future."

When Liu Zhongqing heard Qiu Feng say this, he said, "Actually, I don't want to be an official in the court. Wouldn't it be good to be an idle person?"

Seeing that Liu Zhongqing was so unmotivated, Qiu Feng was a little angry: "Why are you so unmotivated? You run your own business while being a minor official in the court. Isn't it good to have both in your hands?"

Liu Zhongqing didn't think so: "When did you become so snobbish?"

Unexpectedly, Liu Zhongqing's words angered Qiu Feng: "You think I'm snobbish? I'm just poor and crazy. You don't know that when my family was poor, I didn't eat for three days and three nights. I was sold here by others, so I could have a meal."

Liu Zhongqing believes: "Even if it means death, I cannot do such a despicable thing."

This is the difference between the two people. Liu Zhongqing has not experienced the hardships of the bottom of life, so he has a high character, but Qiu Feng is different. She has gone from high to low, accepted the hardships at the bottom of society, and of course knows the warmth and coldness of the world.

The two of them just stood there awkwardly.

When Zhang Yulu returned to Yiren Villa, Zhang Shaohua turned to her daughter and asked, "Why did you come back alone? Where is Liu Zhongqing?"

Zhang Yulu looked nonchalant: "We should go to the brothel to find Qiu Feng. He is still worried about Qiu Feng."

Zhang Shaohua became even more anxious when she heard Zhang Yulu say this: "My silly daughter, why don't you follow him? You are his formal wife, you have to declare your sovereignty."

Zhang Yulu looked at his father in front of him and thought Zhang Shaohua was very strange: "Dad doesn't seem to care about me, you seem to care about the Liu family's property. Are you afraid that this Qiu Feng will hinder your way to wealth?"

Hearing Zhang Yulu say this, Zhang Shaohua was stunned at first, but then his expression changed immediately: "I am your father, how could I harm you?"

Zhang Yulu sometimes doubted that she was not Zhang Shaohua's biological child. She asked tentatively, "Sister, today is the age of marriage, why doesn't Zhang Fengxue have to marry him?"

When Zhang Shaohua heard Zhang Yulu say this, her eyes seemed to be able to spit fire: "I still have the final say over Yiren Villa. Whoever I decide to marry there will marry there. This matter is settled."

Seeing Zhang Shaohua so angry, Zhang Yulu had a sense of certainty: "It seems that I am really not my father's biological daughter. Then who are my parents? It seems that I need to investigate my own life experience."

Zhang Yulu was walking and thinking, and suddenly she thought of someone, that was her wet nurse.

My wet nurse has been taking care of me since I was born. I heard that she has been here in Yiren Villa for 30 years. That means my wet nurse has been here since before I was born.

Zhang Yulu had just arrived at the wet nurse's room. Through the gap in the window, she saw the wet nurse packing up her things, as if she was going on a long journey.

Zhang Yulu hurriedly pushed open the door and asked, "Nanny, where are you going?"

The nurse was a little overwhelmed: "My grandson is getting married in two days, I want to go back to my hometown to take a look first."

Zhang Yulu took the opportunity to make a request: "Then take me with you, I feel depressed staying at home anyway."

When the nurse heard Zhang Yulu say this, she felt a little uncomfortable: "Miss, you are such a joke. You will be married to Liuzhou soon. Why are you following me?"

Zhang Yulu never thought of her as a slave. When she heard her belittling herself, she said, "Nanny, please stop saying that. If she hadn't taken care of me, I'm afraid I would have starved to death long ago."

The nurse only said a few polite words, and then said to Zhang Yulu: "Miss, there is nothing fun in my hometown. You should stay in the mansion and be your bride. Aren't you going to attend the cross-flower meeting with the second young lady in a few days?"

Speaking of Zhang Fengxue, Zhang Yulu had a question: "I always feel that my father treats my sister better than me. Sometimes I feel very strange. Is it because my sister is cuter than me?"

Hearing Zhang Yulu say this, the nanny laughed and said, "It's not because your sister is cute, it's because your sister looks too much like her mother."

After the nurse finished speaking, she realized that she had said the wrong thing and immediately tried to correct herself: "I meant that the Second Miss looks a lot like your mother, but you don't look like your mother, so Grandpa treats the Second Miss especially well."

This is the system reminding Zhang Yulu: "Master host, don't listen to these nonsense. Zhang Fengxue is the daughter born by a servant that Zhang Shaohua wanted to claim. The servant has been secretly executed by Zhang Shaohua, leaving only Zhang Fengxue."

Zhang Yulu felt very strange: "Since Zhang Shaohua liked that maid so much, why did she execute her? She could just win her over directly."

The system told me Zhang Yulu: "Master Host, don't forget that you know martial arts in this life. Zhang Shaohua is afraid that you will use martial arts against him. Zhang Shaohua does not have any superb martial arts. Besides, the maid is a woman from a poor family. If this gets out, it will probably be bad for Zhang Shaohua's reputation. So they had to execute her secretly and announced that she died of a sudden illness. They gave the farmer a sum of money, so the matter was resolved."

It seems that Zhang Shaohua is not a good person, and he can do such a despicable thing.

Seeing that Zhang Yulu didn't say anything, the nurse became a little worried: "Miss, don't blame me for being talkative. Live a good life after you marry in Liuzhou. After all, you still have seven shops that you can take with you."

Zhang Yulu laughed and said, "Those seven shops are all in a loss-making state. In the past few years, my father and Zhang Laojiu have been secretly using our shops to do business, and they are all selling inferior goods as good ones."

The nanny didn't know any business tricks, but she only knew one thing: "We women should marry a good man, live our lives in peace and stability, and leave other busy things to men."

Zhang Yulu disagreed with the nanny's words: "It's not right for the nanny to say that. Women should have their own careers and their own independent personalities. If they rely on men for everything, they will end up with nothing."

In ancient times, if a woman went out in public to do business, it would be considered unchaste and decent families would not agree to it, so Zhang Yulu and Liu Zhengqing had made arrangements in advance.

But the nurse didn't quite understand: "Miss, you can live a stable life after you get married. We women don't ask for anything, we just want a rich life and a good husband."

Zhang Yulu knew that she couldn't convince the wet nurse to do her job, so she had to agree: "Don't worry, wet nurse, I will definitely live a peaceful life there and won't let you worry about me anymore."
