"Instead of being so passive, we might as well take the initiative to fight and see what they want to do." Liu Yueru's voice became more determined.

When she was in the Liu Mansion, she was waiting to be married. Her eldest brother, second brother, and father had always protected her, and she had never been able to stand on her own.

After she married into the Marquis's Mansion, she always believed that as long as she treated others sincerely, she would be treated sincerely in return.

Her family protected her very well, even though Song Nanzhi and Old Madam Song had deceived her in her previous life.

In fact, it’s not that there are no signs, but she prefers to believe that people’s hearts are good.

She wanted to influence them with her sincerity.

Unfortunately, she was wrong. This time she believed the importance of being well-matched. Once human nature is set, it is difficult to change.

Her previous beautiful expectations for Song Nanzhi and Old Madam Song would end the same even if she lived her life ten or a hundred times.

Liu Yueru sometimes often thought, how nice it would be if she were reborn and went back to the time when she was still a girl.

Her eyes fell gently on Xie Jingrui, and a faint smile appeared on the corner of her mouth. If life could only be like the first time they met, she wanted to go back to the time when she first met Xie Jingrui.

just.

The country is in crisis now. She can no longer be so selfish and continue to hide under the wings of those who love her. Their tragic deaths in the previous life are still vivid in her mind.

In this life, she has taken revenge, and all that remains is to protect her family and those who love her.

Xie Jingrui understood the determination and resolve in Liu Yueru's eyes. He looked at her softly, a hint of tenderness appeared on his cold face, and he said to her in a gentle voice, "Okay, I will protect you at the banquet."

Liu Yueru's cold eyes suddenly turned into a smile.

Liu Zimo raised his hand and gently rubbed Liu Yueru's hair: "Also, my second brother is here too."

Liu Yueru nodded heavily.

In the following days, the palace was preparing to entertain foreign envoys, and Xie Jingrui was also stepping up efforts to find the whereabouts of the person who could make gunpowder that Liu Yueru mentioned.

Ever since the day Liu Fufeng learned that people from the northern border were coming to Kyoto, he has been strengthening the training of his soldiers. He dared not delay for a moment and was waiting for them to come so that he could show his skills.

After the locust incident, Emperor Hexu's status in the hearts of the people rose to a higher level. Although the locusts caused some damage to the food in the fields, it saved the food for most of the people and prevented a food shortage.

Emperor Hexu also wanted to commend Xie Jingrui in front of all the court officials for this matter.

However, Xie Jingrui politely declined and insisted on waiting until a month before asking for the reward.

Everyone didn't know why.

But Liu Zimo knew why Xie Jingrui did this.

Emperor Hexu felt relieved and naturally happy, so he agreed to Xie Jingrui's request.

Before attending the banquet to entertain foreign envoys, Liu Yueru wanted to arrange Ye Tao's marriage, but she was afraid that she might not be able to leave the banquet safely.

"Mother Yan, please bring the betrothal gifts and go out with me." Liu Yueru said.

Ye Tao had been sent out to buy things at this moment. Mother Yan immediately smiled knowingly when she heard this.

He packed his things and followed Liu Yueru to Zhang Liang's home in Xicheng.

This time, in order to avoid Xie Jingrui's misunderstanding, Liu Yueru also brought Uncle Fu along.

Arriving at Zhang Liang's house, it was Uncle Fu who knocked on the door first: "Bang bang bang..."

"Who is it? Here I come." Zhang Liang's voice came from the courtyard.

Not long after.

Zhang Liang walked out of the yard wearing a straw hat. When he stood at the door and saw who was coming, he was slightly stunned.

But he still politely invited Liu Yueru in: "Madam Liu, I wonder why you came to see me?"

"Is it convenient for us to talk inside?" Uncle Fu glanced at the women outside who were looking at them, and then said to Zhang Liang.

Zhang Liang understood what Uncle Fu meant. He opened the door and made a gesture to ask them to come in.

Liu Yueru nodded slightly and walked inside.

As soon as she entered the yard, Liu Yueru began to look around. The house was simple, but the yard was kept very clean by the man. There were also many fruits and vegetables planted in the yard. The table and stools in the courtyard were made of wood, and there was a simple thatched shed on top.

Liu Yueru saw the hoe on the side and Zhang Liang, who was sweating profusely. He brought some flower tea from the kitchen and placed it in front of Liu Yueru and the others. He said embarrassedly, "These flowers are picked from the mountains and dried in the sun. They are of course not as good as the good tea in Madam Liu's mansion."

"It's okay." Liu Yueru took the teacup and took a sip with a gentle smile.

Zhang Liang thought that his clothes were soaked with sweat, and said a little embarrassedly: "Let me change my clothes so as not to fumigate others."

Liu Yueru nodded in agreement.

Zhang Liang then hurried back to his room.

Just now, when Liu Yueru was looking around Zhang Liang's courtyard, Mother Yan was also quietly looking at everything in front of her.

She whispered to Liu Yueru, "My dear, this family is so poor that if Ye Tao marries us in the future, I'm afraid she will have to live a hard life with us."

Liu Yueru shook her head: "I have asked Ye Tao, she is willing. Although Zhang Liang is a little poor, he is the only one left at home, and there is no mother-in-law to serve. If the two of them work hard together, their future life will not be too bad. Besides, Zhang Liang is also a person who knows how to live."

More importantly, from Zhang Liang’s behavior just now, we can see that although he is poor, he is generous and does his best.

Moreover.

He also cares about other people's feelings, which is a very valuable quality.

Mother Yan also agreed with what Liu Yueru said.

Zhang Liang quickly changed into a clean set of clothes, but there were patches on his shoulders. Zhang Liang washed them with a basin of water beside him, and only after he was clean did he hurriedly sit down.

He looked at Uncle Fu and asked, "I wonder why Uncle Fu and Madam Liu came to see Zhang?"

Liu Yueru did not beat around the bush and handed one of the gifts she gave to Ye Tao to thank her for saving her life to Zhang Liang: "Thank you for saving Ye Tao last time. This is a small gift of thanks. Please accept it."

Zhang Liang pushed the things back and said, "I'm sorry to bother you, Madam Liu. Others would do the same. Madam Liu, don't worry about it. I accept this kind gesture."

Liu Yueru looked at the thank-you gift that was returned to her without saying anything more. Instead, she went straight to the point and said, "Actually, we came here for other things this time."

Zhang Liang's gaze fell on his bare courtyard. In fact, from the moment he opened the door, he knew the purpose of their visit.

He smiled bitterly, and in order not to damage Ye Tao's reputation, he was the first to say politely: "Madam Liu, please don't say more about the rest. Zhang is penniless and can't help. There is really no way for me to help you, Madam Liu."
