Several people had intended to leave the two of them alone.
Therefore, he walked very quickly and took away all the people serving him. He only left behind Lu Ting'an's entourage and Duofu, whom Zhao's mother specially called.
Mother Zhao asked Duofu to come with her. Firstly, she wanted to show that her daughter had a maid to take care of her. Secondly, she did not feel comfortable letting her daughter be alone with a man, even if the man was weak.
Gossip can hurt people, but my daughter’s reputation can no longer withstand damage.
Lu Ting'an met her eyes, gritted his teeth in his heart, and ordered: "Ah Liu, go and wait outside. I have something to say to Miss Zhao alone."
Chu Yunli also waved his hand: "Thank you, you go outside too."
Duofu was very worried and stamped his feet: "Sister!"
Chu Yunli said funny: "It's just a few words, I won't talk for too long."
When only the two of them were left alone in the room, Lu Ting'an looked disapproving: "The look in your eyes just now..."
Chu Yunli raised his eyebrows: "I just looked at you, what's wrong?"
Lu Ting'an glared at her and said dissatisfied: "You actually came out to see each other. Do you really want to get married?"
"I want to get married!" Chu Yunli smiled and said, "You don't want me to get married?"
It was obviously a strong argument. What Lu Ting'an cared about was that she came out to meet people formally.
Of course Chu Yunli understood what she meant. Seeing how angry he was, even though he was pretending to be angry, he stopped teasing him: "I heard that Mr. Lu is living a miserable life. As the eldest son, I cannot interfere in the family business.
, but instead became a wealthy and idle person, and couldn’t even have children of his own. I wanted to make a good relationship, so I came here.”
Lu Ting'an had never doubted her feelings for him. After hearing these words, he was immediately comforted: "I heard that you are also in a miserable state."
The two looked at each other and felt a bit like they were in the same boat.
However, if it hadn't been so miserable, they wouldn't have met again.
In the eyes of others, today is the first time the two of them have met. It is also the first time that the two of them have looked at each other. It is not suitable to stay alone for too long. Mrs. Lu doesn't care about this, but Mother Zhao does not allow it.
Therefore, a quarter of an hour later, several people left and returned. When they entered the door, they peeked at their expressions.
Lu Ting'an has been quite cold towards his family since he fell ill. Mrs. Lu couldn't tell what his mood was, and she didn't know that he was dissatisfied with the marriage. So she went to take a peek at the young woman opposite.
The woman was holding tea, with a smile on her lips, looking quite happy. Mrs. Lu smiled and asked: "Miss Zhao, my Ting'an didn't bother you too much, right?"
"No!" Chu Yunli replied with a smile: "He is very easy to get along with, and he even told me interesting things about his family."
After hearing this, Mrs. Lu suddenly felt confident.
Mother Zhao, who was holding her heart in her arms, suddenly smiled brightly. The matchmaker beside her became more and more excited, jumping up and down and saying all kinds of nice things.
The group did not stay long, exchanged a few words, and then parted ways. Mrs. Lu didn't think much of the Zhao family, but precisely because of this secret thought, she was particularly polite to the Zhao family's mother and daughter, smiling and saying nothing.
, and personally put the mother and daughter into the carriage.
In the carriage going back, Zhao's mother asked curiously: "What you said just now were really not polite?"
Chu Yunli asked back: "What are you talking about?"
"You said Mr. Lu was easy to get along with." Mother Zhao carefully recalled the young man she saw: "I thought he was quite cold. Did you really talk after we left?"
"We didn't chat much." Chu Yunli got up a little early and fell asleep leaning on the carriage.
Zhao's mother was not satisfied with such words and asked, "What do you think of this marriage?"
"Don't just ask me, ask if they like me." Chu Yunli said funnyly: "Mom, that is a wealthy businessman's family. If they are not willing, no matter how enthusiastic you are, it will be superfluous."
Mother Zhao's eyes lit up: "In other words, if they are willing, you will not refuse?"
Chu Yunli didn't answer.
"If you don't say anything, I'll take it as your acquiescence!" After Zhao's mother said this, seeing that her daughter still had no reaction, the smile on her lips grew wider and wider: "I knew that your father is such a smart person, and he was so smart.
The daughter who comes out will definitely not be stupid. It’s strange that such a good marriage can be let go."
The more she talked, the more excited she became. After thinking about herself for a long time, she asked tentatively: "If the matchmaker comes to ask us to reply, I will just say that you are willing!"
"Okay." This time, Chu Yunli did not whet her appetite. To be honest, she was not willing to let this marriage go wrong, just in case Zhao's mother misunderstood and did something bad with good intentions, causing the marriage to have an unexpected incident and another
It's a trouble.
Mother Zhao got her daughter's approval, and her smile deepened: "I heard that Mr. Lu is usually not willing to be alone with women. Since last month, he has kicked out all the maids around him, leaving only his entourage to serve him. Just now he was willing
I've been alone with you for so long, and I haven't said anything unpleasant to you, and I haven't been cold to you... In my opinion, this marriage is very likely to happen." The more she said, the more proud she became: "When you get engaged with the Lu family,
The Zhang family will definitely be angry to death. And that aunt of yours... She has always wanted Shuangliu to find a good family. She is too old and has no trust at all. Now you have settled on a rich family. She won't be angry later.
It would be strange to die."
She danced excitedly, but Chu Yunli reminded: "I agreed to this marriage because I thought he was suitable, not to win a favor."
"Yes, yes, I know what you mean." Zhao's mother did not argue with her daughter on this matter.
The Lu family responded quickly. In the afternoon of the same day, the matchmaker came to ask the Zhao family what they wanted. She was overjoyed when she learned that the Zhao family also agreed.
She heard that Mr. Lu was willing, and she felt a little uneasy. Even though she had only met the girl from the Zhao family twice, she could tell that if Miss Zhao, a person with great plans, was stubborn and refused to agree, she would be in trouble.
There will also be changes in the wedding. Now that even the Zhao family has agreed, the matchmaking ceremony has been completed.
The Lu family is so wealthy, so they will not give too little. Thinking of this, the matchmaker smiled and said: "I thought this was a match made in heaven at first. After being rejected by you, I was still unwilling, so I took a trip. Now it seems
, as expected. If I hadn't come, they would have missed it deeply."
She waved the veil: "I'm going to reply right away. It shouldn't take long for there to be a letter over there. In my opinion, the sooner the better, the better. What do you think?"
The last sentence is a probing word. It can be seen that the Lu family is also very anxious about the marriage.
The next day, the matchmaker came to the door again, this time bringing a small wedding gift and making an appointment for the engagement, just half a month later.
At this point, the marriage was finally settled. It was only at this time that Zhao's mother spread the news with confidence.
When Zhang Mingli got engaged, the news spread like wildfire. It was inevitable that everyone would discuss Zhao Shuangyu's whereabouts in private. They didn't expect that the marriage would happen so soon and in such a good place. Everyone was quite surprised.
Surprised, many people came to congratulate her. Of course, most of the congratulators were sincere, but there were also a few who felt sad. Li was the latter.
She and Zhao's mother had been having a bad fight before, and she had originally not planned to come to the house. But seeing her niece get a good marriage, she felt uncomfortable, and after much thought, she decided to get back together with her sister-in-law.
Cousins should help each other, and Zhao Shuangyu has such a good marriage. If she is willing to be a matchmaker, just anyone would be much better than the person she bothers to win over here.
Chu Yunli ignored her and simply hid in the house.
Zhao's mother also wanted to kick him out directly, but she had many concerns. The two cousins lived well because of Zhao's father. If she ignored them, outsiders would say she was snobbish.
Mrs. Li came here today to make peace with her, specializing in finding nice words to say. Mrs. Zhao was so praised by her that she beamed with joy, and everyone left, but the smile on her face did not fall.
Chu Yunli and Lu Ting'an became an unmarried couple, so she also liked to go out, and he would usually come to pick her up in person. Seeing that the two of them were getting along better and better, the Zhao family was happy to see this happen, and they also didn't like it.
Stopping my daughter from going out.
On this day, the two met for a trip and got along very happily. During these days, Chu Yunli had been drinking tonics, which were originally prepared by the doctor. Mother Zhao caught her and boiled them herself, and she secretly changed some medicinal materials.
However, Lu Ting'an was a little weak and would catch cold when exposed to the wind. Although he would not lose his life, it would definitely be a hindrance to his heirs. He could not give birth, so he followed the wishes of some people. This was naturally impossible.
So, Chu Yunli prepared some medicine for him and asked him to take it back to drink. The two of them wandered for too long and was delayed for some time. Lu Ting'an was busy going back to drink the medicine, so he asked the carriage to take her home.
Half a car of materials had been unloaded at the door of Zhao's house for a long time. Mother Zhao watched excitedly from beginning to end. Chu Yunli explained to her: "Everyone in our family has one, mine is the big red one, and my sister-in-law's is the light one."
Zi, if she doesn’t like it, she can take it to Cloth Shop to exchange it.”
"She must like it." Mother Zhao said without thinking. In fact, after knowing that her daughter was engaged, the whole family was very happy. These gifts were like picking up for free, how could they not like them?
While the mother and daughter were talking, a carriage suddenly approached. People were coming and going on the street. Zhao's mother paid no attention to the matter. Chu Yunli was more sensitive and noticed that there were eyes on the carriage, so she couldn't help but look over.
When I looked around, I saw an acquaintance.
The person who opened a crack in the carriage and looked out was none other than Zhang Mingli.
After not seeing each other for more than half a month, Zhang Mingli's expression looked much better than before. When he met Chu Yunli's gaze, he said calmly: "I was passing by here and saw you at the door, so I couldn't help but take another look." His eyes moved at the door.
The cloth man swept over his body: "Are you buying so many things to prepare for your wedding?"
Chu Yunli shook his head: "The bride price hasn't been paid yet, these are from my fiancé."
Zhang Mingli felt a little harsh when he heard this: "Pisces, I have something to say to you."
Mother Zhao had her ears propped up and had been eavesdropping. When she heard this, she couldn't bear it anymore: "Mr. Zhang, you have nothing to do with my daughter anymore and are not suitable to be alone together. Otherwise, after my future son-in-law hears about it, maybe he will
Will be angry."
"Auntie is overthinking it. I just want to persuade her with a few words for the sake of our relationship. It's really for the good of Pisces and I have no selfish motives at all." Zhang Mingli pointed at the place where people were coming and going.
Jie: "I don't want to be alone with her, I'm just saying it here."
Mother Zhao hesitated.
Chu Yunli crossed his arms: "You go ahead and I'm listening."
His attitude was natural and without any resentment. It was as if the affection he had had no longer existed.
They say that as deep as the hatred is, there is only as deep a love. She doesn't even have any hatred. Has her love for her been exhausted?
Zhang Mingli's face became more complicated when he thought of this: "Pisces, have you really forgotten me?"
After hearing this, Chu Yunli couldn't help but laugh out loud: "If Mr. Zhang remembers correctly, you got engaged before me. Even before we separated, you already had a concubine.
How stupid would I be if I still care about you when I let my concubine get pregnant and treat me coldly?"
It's simply a matter of which pot is not opened.
That child Zhou Meiyu was found by a thief!
It would be better if Zhang Mingli could survive, but now he has been injured and drinks bitter medicine soup every day, but the doctor is not sure. Not to mention how uncomfortable he is, but Zhao Shuangyu still wants to mention this matter, even though he has already
After accepting the truth that he had a hidden illness, he couldn't help but darken his face at this moment.
"Pisces, can you stop speaking so harshly?"
Every sentence stabbed her in the heart. She had never been like this before. It was obviously intentional.
"Is it hard to speak?" Chu Yunli thought for a while: "If you don't come, you won't be able to hear me, and you won't feel uncomfortable."
Zhang Mingli: "..."
He almost shouted: "I'm not feeling uncomfortable!"
Chu Yunli nodded: "That's good. I'm afraid I'll make you angry, which will be bad for your health. By the way, are you really just passing by?"
After saying this, Zhang Mingli remembered his purpose. At this moment, the people carrying the cloth had dispersed, leaving only Zhao's mother standing not far away. He lowered his voice: "Pisces, I heard that Mr. Lu cannot give birth.
Children...it is precisely because he cannot have children that he married you. If you follow him and have no children of your own, you will definitely be wronged."
"No one I follow will have children." Chu Yunli emphasized: "This is all thanks to your Zhang family. Even though I have left, I will always remember the grievances I had."
Zhang Mingli's face turned ugly: "What do you want?"
"No matter what!" Chu Yunli looked at him with a smile: "As long as I think that with your aunt here, you will never have a child of your own in this life, and the Zhang family will definitely cut off their descendants. I don't feel the need to target you.
"
Zhang Mingli was speechless: "My aunt has realized her mistake and has sworn to God that she will never do anything to the Zhang family again."
"God is busy and can't care so much." Chu Yunli thought of something and said funnyly: "Your mother never believes in this."
I don’t believe it, so the Zhang family has made it clear that they will not let the Zhang family visit again.
Zhang Mingli didn't feel the need for a woman in front of him to say these words, and instead said: "Pisces, I was sorry for you. Our Zhang family owes you a lot, and it is right for you to hate me. But I still want you to live the rest of your life.
Well done... Actually, you don't need to rush to get married. If you really want to find someone to rely on, I can let you rely on it."
He lowered his voice: "The Luo family's status is not high, and they don't dare to care about my affairs outside. When I get married, I will find a place to settle you."
Chu Yunli gradually frowned after hearing this: "Do you mean to put me in an outer room?"
"It's not my wife, you are my wife." Zhang Mingli said seriously: "It's because you can't give birth, so I let you go. I have to let you go. If I force you to stay, my parents will definitely be in trouble.
. Then your life will be difficult, and it will be uncomfortable for me to be caught in the middle. Pisces, I know you don’t believe it, but I really want to take care of you for the rest of my life, and I have never thought about being separated from you. Listen to me, you retreat.
Lost the marriage of the Lu family... I specifically inquired about the situation of the Lu family, and they all said that a stepmother will have a stepfather. Now Mr. Lu has long forgotten his original wife and has been won over by Mrs. Lu. You marry her,
If you are not liked by your elders, you will definitely be wronged, and then your life will be even more difficult than if you stayed in the Zhang family."
"Are you done?" Chu Yunli took out her ears: "Get out of here when you're done, I don't like to hear it."
Zhang Mingli's face turned ugly: "I don't care about the things you did to me, and I don't hate you anymore. Why are you still unwilling to listen to these words that are good for you?"
"I only know that your Zhang family made me childless, ruined my reputation, and made me unable to have children in the future." Chu Yunli said this, paused and said: "I have found a brilliant doctor.
Take care of your body and you may be able to give birth to a baby someday."
Zhang Mingli blurted out: "Even if you can give birth, Lu Ting'an can't, you'd better not..." It's a dream.
Chu Yunli interrupted him: "His body can also be recuperated."
Zhang Mingli looked unbelieving: "Even if you two have recovered your health, Mrs. Lu will not allow this to happen."
This is true.
Chu Yunli waved her hand: "Go quickly and don't come back again."
She turned around and was about to go in. Zhang Mingli had been talking for a long time, with the purpose of asking her to cancel the engagement and wait for him with peace of mind. Seeing that he couldn't listen to a word he said, and instead wanted to leave, he became anxious and simply got off the carriage.
He caught up and stretched out his hand to grab the person.
As soon as his hand touched the sleeve, he suddenly felt pain in his wrist. Zhang Mingli was startled. He lowered his eyes and saw a flash of silver light. There were already blood beads on his wrist.
He looked in disbelief and asked, "You stabbed me with a needle?"
"Come here again and I'll prick you." Chu Yunli said fiercely: "You are just like the smelly rat in the ditch. You are very annoying. When I see you, I can't even eat. Hurry and give me
I'm leaving! Stop making people uncomfortable!"
The words were so unpleasant that Zhang Mingli felt that he had heard wrong for a moment. He grabbed his injured wrist and his eyes were full of surprise: "Pisces, the misunderstanding between us was deliberately provoked by others. The Zhang family is sorry for you, but
I also gave you enough compensation!”
This refers to the thirty thousand taels of silver.
Chu Yunli suddenly realized: "You said you wanted to support me, did you want to take back the money?"
With a determined tone, she sneered: "After all, that money is not a small amount for the Zhang family. By the way, Zhang Mingli, you are really careless. Who do you think you are if you do such a thing? Selling yourself in a flower house for money.
The waiter?"
Seeing that Zhang Mingli's face was livid with anger at these words, she said to herself: "You look like you, and you are not worth that much money. You overestimate yourself."
Zhang Mingli was so angry that he gritted his teeth: "Zhao Shuangyu!"
Chu Yunli snorted coldly and pricked the needle in her hand.
Zhang Mingli's wrist was still hurting. He was a gentleman, so he couldn't stand the pain and subconsciously stepped back.
Chu Yunli also took the opportunity to close the door and said loudly through the door panel: "If you don't want people to spread the rumor that our son is reluctant to divorce his wife, then get out! You don't want your reputation, I still want it. No more entanglements.
, I’ll find someone to beat you to death.”
Zhang Mingli is not a stalker. When he appeared here today, he was unwilling to give in. Zhao Shuangyu was already his, and he was going to remarry so soon, and the person he was marrying was a rich man. The more he thought about it, the more irritated he became, unconsciously.
Just come this way. Secondly, it’s because of the thirty thousand taels!
But in the final analysis, the unwillingness and money in his heart are not worth the importance of his face. It would not be humiliating enough if he was really beaten here.
Therefore, without any further entanglement, he quickly got into the carriage and left.
Zhang Mingli looked particularly ugly on the way back. When he thought of Zhao Shuangyu's cold face, an evil fire rose in his heart.
With such a fire, he originally wanted to take a nap on the road, but he didn't feel sleepy at all. Calculating the time, it was almost time to reach the door of his house. Zhang Mingli was about to close his eyes and rest for a while, when the carriage suddenly stopped.
Before he could scold him, a strange male voice came from outside: "Zhang Mingli, get out of here."
This was so provocative that it was quite strange. Zhang Mingli opened the curtain and saw a young man with a somewhat pale face outside. He didn't recognize it for a while, but he just felt that he looked familiar. After thinking for a while, he remembered this
Who is the person?
"Lu Ting'an!"
Lu Ting'an sneered: "If you ran to pester my fiancée, you should have thought that I would come to trouble you. Get out and die!"
Zhang Mingli: "..."
"You are so weak, who do you want to hit?"
There was a lot of contempt in his words.
Lu Ting'an stepped forward, pushed away Zhang Mingli's coachman who wanted to stop him, and pulled the people out of the carriage.
"I want my fiancée to be your wife. You will be so beautiful." As he said that, he had already pushed the person to the ground with lightning speed and stepped on her feet.
He scolded while stepping on it: "You're a loser. You're not very capable, but you're very courageous."
Zhang Mingli tried to get up several times, but the person in front of him seemed to be able to predict his next move. Every time he moved, he was stepped back. In an instant, his body was covered with footprints and his hair was messy.
His face was stained with gray, and he looked particularly embarrassed.
"Lu Ting'an, stop it!"
Lu Ting'an sneered: "Why should I listen to you? Who do you think you are?"
As he spoke, he stepped on her a few more times: "If you dare to pester my fiancée again, I will kill you!"
