The dim back

Huo Dongqi's sudden appearance made Zhang Yulu feel something was wrong.

Zhang Yulu didn't want to have too much contact with Huo Dongqi, so she had to thank him: "I should thank you more today. If you hadn't cured this epileptic man, I'm afraid our mansion would be in trouble."

Liu Zhongqing stood up and especially thanked Huo Dongqi in front of him: "Hello, if you need my help in the future, please feel free to ask."

Zhang Yulu is a person who always looks ahead and behind no matter what he does. He always feels that Huo Dongqi in front of him has other intentions: "If there is nothing else, we will go back home first."

Qiu Feng was a man who loved to show off: "Since you have helped the Marquis so much, naturally, please come in again. Let us sit in and prepare good wine and food."

Since Qiu Feng had already said it, Zhang Yulu couldn't refuse, so she nodded and said, "I'll ask someone to do it right away."

Others outside started to discuss: "It seems that this concubine is very smart and open-minded. She is not like the legitimate concubine who is so embarrassing when doing things."

Hearing everyone's comments about her, Zhang Yulu didn't get angry at all. She just said to everyone: "There are some things you don't understand yet, please don't judge them."

After everyone left, Zhang Yulu looked at Huo Dongqi in front of him and asked, "Are you a local?"

Huo Dongqi shook his head: "I came from another place, just to do business in Beijing. Today I happened to see that it was very lively here, so I came over to take a look."

Zhang Yulu felt that things were not that simple. A small outsider actually happened to appear next to the Marquis's mansion.

Zhang Yulu looked at Huo Dongqi and said, "I'll tell you the truth. I've been feeling very depressed these past few days. What do you think I should do now that the new government is moving?"

Huo Dongqi looked at Zhang Yulu in surprise: "This is your family matter, why are you asking me? I, an outsider, can't help you solve it."

Liu Zhongqing felt uncomfortable watching the two people talking passionately, so he walked forward and said, "Zhang Yulu, go to the kitchen and give some instructions. I'll accompany our benefactor."

As soon as Liu Zhongqing led Huo Dongqi to sit down, Liu Zhongqing said to Huo Dongqi: "Let's do this first. There are many things we want to accomplish, but things are not that simple."

Hearing Liu Zhongqing's words, Huo Dongqi looked puzzled: "I don't understand what the Marquis is saying, can you explain it more clearly?"

Huo Dongqi shook his head: "I didn't want to say it at first, but I think it's better to make things clear. Someone did ask me to come to you to see if there is anything I can do to help."

Liu Zhongqing felt very strange: "Who is this person? Is it related to the case a few years ago?"

Huo Dongqi nodded and said, "My father handled this case a few years ago. He always thought it was very strange, but it was suppressed later. For some unknown reason, my father was also dismissed from his official position."

Liu Zhongqing looked at Huo Dongqi and said, "Aunt Qiu, this person is easy to talk to. If I'm not mistaken, it should be Lord Lu who arranged for you to come here."

Huo Dongqi nodded and said, "Lord Lu, this person is quite generous. He gave us a lot of silver this morning."

Zhang Yulu walked in from outside, heard their conversation, and said bluntly: "After this meal, Mr. Huo, please go back quickly. We don't have anything you can help with here."

Qiu Feng was a little angry: "Sister, how can you say that? Everyone who comes to our house is a guest, there is no reason to chase them away."

Zhang Yulu always felt that things were not simple: "What do you mean by that? Things are obviously very simple, how could someone lend a hand for no reason?"

Hearing Zhang Yulu's words, Qiu Feng smacked his lips and said, "Do you think everyone is as scheming as you? They are obviously kind-hearted."

Seeing the two people arguing like this, Liu Zhongqing felt very sad: "When will the two of you take a step back? What are you doing in front of outsiders?"

Hearing what Liu Zhongqing said, Qiu Feng and Zhang Yulu had no choice but to sit aside with their mouths shut. Both of them had their own thoughts in their minds.

Huo Dongqi looked at everything in front of him, then stood up and said, "I remembered that I have something to do today, so I won't bother you anymore. If you have any questions, come to the medicine shop next door to find me."

The Huo family pharmacy is still very famous. In recent years, its shelves and pharmacies can be seen in many places across the country.

Zhang Yulu sent Huo Dongqi out the door and said to him, "Things have come to this point. Just tell me what you want and see if I can help you."

For the Huo family, the pharmacy is where they make their living.

Huo Dongqi shook his head: "I have a good friend, you may know him, Yu Xiaoyao, he asked me to keep an eye on your family."

Zhang Yulu thought of Zhang Fengxue: "Has Zhang Fengxue gone to see him recently? I don't think highly of Yu Xiaoyao. I believe you also know this."

Huo Dongqi nodded: "Since things are like this, I really have nothing to say to you, but you still have to take care of your sister, Yu Cailian, this person is not easy to mess with."

This was the first time Zhang Yulu heard someone mention Yu Cailian in front of her.

Zhang Yulu found it very strange: "What do you mean by that? Aren't you afraid that your good brother will get angry when he hears it?"

Huo Dongqi raised his neck and said, "Regarding this, Yu Cailian, I have long disliked this person. Even in front of Yu Xiaoyao, I will continue to say such things."

Zhang Yulu felt very strange: "You wouldn't say that to my face on purpose, would you? I don't know what you're thinking."

Huo Dongqi shook his head: "Time reveals a person's true character. If you spend more time with me, you will naturally know who I am."

While talking, Huo Dongqi walked outside and reminded Zhang Yulu: "Please be careful, many people are watching you. If you make a wrong step, you may be doomed."

This sentence made Zhang Yulu frown. Who could be watching him closely in the dark?

When Zhang Yulu looked up and was about to ask, Huo Dongqi had already walked away.

And Huo Dongqi seemed to remember something. From a distance, he turned around and shouted to Zhang Yulu: "I believe we will meet again. If you have anything, come to the Huo's pharmacy at any time. I'm there every day."

After hearing these words, Zhang Yulu stood there in a daze for a long time.

Zhang Yulu didn't notice Liu Zhongqing walking behind her, and was still immersed in what Huo Dongqi had just said.
