After I traveled through the book, I fought back in the Hou Mansion

No. 39 Unpleasant

Hearing her words and thinking of that woman's fierce appearance yesterday, Liu Xiangdong's expression instantly turned extremely sinister. "So she bullied you because she was favored by the Marquis' wife?"

Lu Zhaozhao quickly revealed a panicked look, "Don't talk nonsense, Sister Yao didn't bully me."

Her eyes were filled with anxiety, as if she was afraid that Liu Xiangdong had misunderstood Luo Shuiyao. However, in Liu Xiangdong's view, her panic was more like a cover-up after being bullied.

Liu Xiangdong's dissatisfaction with Luo Shuiyao grew stronger and stronger. He secretly decided that he must make this vicious woman pay the price.

He snorted coldly, "I expected that such an arrogant and domineering woman would bully you." Then he looked at Lu Zhaozhao, his expression softened slightly, and said softly, "Don't be afraid. If she dares to bully you again in the future, just tell me and I will avenge you."

"Hanfeng, I'm here." His personal attendant responded.

"Give my jade pendant to..."

He looked at Lu Zhaozhao awkwardly in the middle of his speech. Lu Zhaozhao quickly whispered, "My name is Lu Zhaozhao, as bright as the sun, moon and stars."

Liu Xiangdong paused, then smiled and said, "Bright as the sun, moon and stars, your future is bright and your ambitions are high. Your father and mother hope that you can be as dazzling as the sun, moon and stars, instead of being sad and depressed like you are now. You must be happy. If this mansion can't accommodate you,

He hesitated for a moment and finally said, "Why don't you change places?"

"Where do you want her to go?"

The Marquis's wife came out of Chunhua Garden in a rage. After walking for a while, she finally calmed down a little and her complexion improved. Unexpectedly, as soon as she arrived at the main hall, she heard Liu Xiangdong's words of instigation against Lu Zhaozhao, and she couldn't help but ask angrily.

When Lu Zhaozhao heard the Marquis's wife's voice, she quickly suppressed her aggrieved expression and turned around to see the Marquis's wife standing at the door staring at them with an angry look on her face.

A trace of anxiety flashed across her face, and she quickly stepped forward and said, "Aunt, Mr. Liu was just joking. Please don't take it to heart."

The Marquis's wife looked at him, a trace of disappointment flashing in her eyes, and said, "Am I not good to you? Is the Marquis's Mansion not good to you? Why can't they accommodate you?"

Liu Xiangdong stepped forward and stood in front of Lu Zhaozhao, looking directly into the Marquis's eyes. "Are you good to her? You favor villains. That village girl is arrogant and domineering, but you insist on protecting her. You ignore such a good girl. How can you call this good?"

When Liu Xiangdongfang heard the voice of the Marquis's wife, he felt awkward and embarrassed for a moment, but he never thought that the Marquis's wife would question Lu Zhaozhao like this. At this time, he could not hold back and immediately stepped forward to confront the Marquis's wife.

"I favor a villain? A village girl? Arrogant and domineering? Who told you that? Who is a village girl? Who is arrogant and domineering? Do you, an outsider, have the right to meddle in our family affairs? I brought Lu Zhaozhao to Kyoto. How she lives is decided by my mansion. What qualifications do you have?"

As she spoke, the Marquis' wife snorted coldly, glanced at Yang Ruolan who had hurried over, and then said to Madam Sang, "Madam Sang, please send the guest away."

After leaving the mansion, Yang Ruolan looked at the people around her, looking around and whispering, and felt her face burning. She turned around, gave her son a fierce look, and was helped into the carriage by a maid.

After the morning court session ended, Marquis Zhongyong called his eldest son to the palace gate.

Ye Yunzhou turned around and saluted him, then said coldly, "Father."

The Marquis of Loyalty and Bravery ignored his cold expression and waved his hand, saying, "Your mother will be hosting a welcoming banquet for the two girls in a couple of days. You should go back home and meet them then."

Having said this, without waiting for his son to answer, he turned around and got into the official sedan chair.

Ye Yunzhou looked at his father's back, which seemed steady but was actually running away. He couldn't help but sneer, then turned and left.

Inside the Hidden Dragon Division, Ye Yi was watching the Hidden Dragon Guards training. When he saw his own prince coming in, he glanced at him. Knowing that the prince wanted to see him for something, he hurriedly followed him.

Ye Yunzhou stepped into the main study, which was filled with the faint scent of ink and books. Ye Yi followed closely behind him, his expression respectful.

Ye Yunzhou walked to the desk, sat down slowly, tapped the table lightly with his fingers, and looked at Ye Yi calmly.

“Ye Yi, I have something I want to ask you for a favor.” Although his words were polite, his voice was as low and serious as ever.

Ye Yi bowed slightly and said, "Prince, please give your orders. I will not refuse even if it means death."

Ye Yunzhou raised his hand towards Ye Yi, motioning him to sit down and talk slowly. Seeing Ye Yi sitting down, he said directly, "I want to give a girl a gift she likes, but I don't know what kind of gift is best?"

Ye Yi was slightly stunned, and asked hesitantly: "Is it the woman from that day?"

Ye Yunzhou did not answer, but just looked at him steadily with his obsidian eyes.

Seeing Ye Yunzhou's performance, Ye Yi couldn't help but burst out laughing: "I didn't expect that you, an iceberg, would also have a heartbeat."

Ye Yunzhou glanced at him coldly, and Ye Yi quickly suppressed his smile and said seriously: "Then, does the woman you want to give it to like anything?"

Ye Yunzhou thought for a moment and shook his head: "I don't know what she likes."

"What about her character?"

Ye Yunzhou's mind flashed with her quirky, delicate, and broken appearance. Thinking of this, a blush spread across his ears, and he quickly dismissed his thoughts.

“She has a rather lively personality.”

After hearing this, Ye Yi thought for a moment and said, "Why not give her a hand-polished agarwood bracelet? It has a delicate fragrance and can be carried around. Most importantly..."

"What's the most important thing?" Seeing Ye Yi paused, Ye Yunzhou frowned and asked.

Ye Yi glanced at his own son jokingly before saying, "The most important thing is that this bracelet has been a token of love since ancient times. If she accepts it, it means that she also likes you, and you can take the next step."

Ye Yunzhou pondered for a moment, tapping his fingers lightly on the table, and said, "That's fine."

After watching Ye Yi leave, Ye Yunzhou picked up the document on the table and began to read it. After reading it for a while, he didn't understand a single word, so he threw the document on the table.

He stood by the window, watching the Hidden Dragon Guards training in the courtyard, a bitter feeling welling up in his heart. He had never imagined that one day he would fall in love with a woman at first sight. These past few days, her image would frequently appear in his mind. The thought of meeting her soon brought a wave of emotions.

In reality, if he wanted to know where she lived, it would be very simple. But since he had already agreed and arranged a place to meet again, he would be patient for a few days, waiting for their relationship to become stable before visiting her. To privately inquire about a woman's whereabouts was ungentlemanly.

This side of Jing'an Marquis's Mansion

Liu Xiangdong walked into the house with a gloomy face. He walked quickly into the study and waved his sleeve vigorously, and the writing brush, ink, paper and inkstone on the desk immediately scattered to the floor. "Damn woman, how dare you embarrass me like this."

He gritted his teeth, a vicious gleam in his eyes.
