CHAPTER 26

Lu Shaoyou was drunk by Song Yuanzhi’s ecstasy soup. After returning home, he began to think about how to trick… No, how to care for his future brother-in-law and let him get together with Song Lilan as soon as possible.

(Ecstasy soup is often referred to as the love drug because it makes you feel so connected to others. The love drug can create a sense of emotional openness and bonding between users.)

This matter is not difficult for Lu Shaoyou.

Xuanyuan Yu was still recovering from his injuries, and his injuries were kept secret. Even Emperor Yongkang didn’t know what was wrong with him. However, with Song Yuanzhi as the main culprit who caused Xuanyuan Yu’s serious injuries, how could Xuanyuan Yu’s injuries be hidden from Lu Shaoyou?

To be honest, even if Lu Shaoyou has great military exploits, after hearing about Xuanyuan Yu’s injuries, he couldn’t help but feel a chill on his back. When he came to his senses, he snickered. No wonder Xuanyuan Yu refused to disclose his injuries. If this news spreads, then when you go out, you will be a joke in the capital for the next hundred years.

This made Lu Shaoyou aware and never get on Song Yaunzhi’s bad side.

A few days later, Xuanyuan Yu’s biological mother, Mrs. Nan’an, went to discuss with him in a low voice, “Yu’er, your injury… there is a faint rumor outside. If this continues, there is no guarantee that some bastard words will be spread. Why not first get your marriage settled, and with this marriage in front of you, others won’t keep looking at your injuries?”

Upon hearing this, Xuanyuan Yu’s face turned as dark as the bottom of a pot. Even though the injury was almost healed, Xuanyuan Yu seemed to still feel the pain of losing his descendants. Thinking of Song Yuanzhi’s previous protection for Song Lilan, he immediately sneered and said, “Then listen to me; the Song family is trying to curry favor with us. Why don’t we just follow the idiot’s wishes and let her marry me, and then settle the score with her slowly? Lu Shaoyou is alive and well, and that bitch Song Yuanzhi wants to be the wife of Zhenbei Marquis!”

“Zhenbei Marquis! This is not an ordinary family.”

“Of course I know!” Xuanyuan Yu’s eyes were full of impatience. “This time he is lucky; he will not be so lucky next time! After all, he is also the future brother-in-law, so he has to drink wine with me a few times. Isn’t it?”

Mrs. Nan’an didn’t understand this, but she looked down on Song Lilan in every possible way. “The reputation of the two girls of the Song Family is already terrible. With my son’s status and appearance, even a princess can marry him. Why do we have to choose such a disgraceful daughter of a minister with such a bad reputation?”

Xuanyuan Yu’s eyes flashed with sternness, and he said coldly, “It doesn’t matter; those who achieve great things don’t care about trivial matters. Lu Shaoyou attaches great importance to his unmarried wife, so I have to marry her sister. We will act accordingly in the future and put Prince Wu’s important affairs first!”

When he mentioned Prince Wu, Mrs. Nan’an pursed her lips and hesitated for a long time before sighing, “If this is the case, I will wrong my son in the future. Furthermore, it doesn’t matter if Song Lilan, the daughter of a servant, wants to kill her sister.”

Xuanyuan Yu sneered, “Even now, if Lu Shaoyou doesn’t value her, then how would I?”

“What a pity !”

Song Lilan didn’t know such discussions were going behind her back. After learning that the Marquis of Nan’an had sent a matchmaker to propose marriage, Song Lilan showed off like a hen that had just laid eggs, running several times a day to Song Yuanzhi’s yard to show off to her, “The prince really has me in his heart. No matter how many restless bitches tried to hook up with him before, it was all in vain!”

After saying that, Song Lilan glared fiercely at Song Yaunzhi; her anti-thief eyes and her superior demeanor successfully made Song Yuanzhi smile with kindness and whisper softly, “Congratulations, sister, you got what you wanted. Since the marriage has been decided and your parents love you, then your sister’s dowry must be extremely rich.”

One hit, and you got knocked out.

Who in the capital didn’t know that Zhenbei Marquis was so angry that he almost surrounded the house of his in-laws family in order to seek justice for his fiancée? Song Yan and Madam Liu lost a lot of face just to make up for the dowry left by the late Madam Shen that they have misused. Now that the warehouse is as clean as their faces, how can they still afford a decent dowry for Song Lilan?

Song Lilan’s smug expression froze on her face, and she stamped her feet hard. “Don’t be so proud!”

Song Yuanzhi frowned slightly and sighed softly, with an expression on her face that said, “Silly girl, why are you making such a fuss? Stop being so ignorant.”

She said slowly, “Although your mother treated me harshly, you and I are still sisters, so I would like to remind you that the Nan’an Marquis Mansion is a big family, if your dowry is light, not to mention being looked down upon by the elders and sisters-in-law of the family. All the servants will also look down on you.”

“Don’t pretend to be a good person here!” Song Lilan gritted her teeth. “All the money in the family has been used to buy your dowry. If you are so kind, why not give up your dowry?”

Silly sister, it’s not dark yet; what are you dreaming about? Song Yuanzhi smiled slightly. “That’s what my mother left me. If you are jealous, I can’t help it.”

“Then why do you keep saying that you can’t bear to look at it if I am wronged?”

Song Yuanzhi closed her eyes. “I can bear it if I don’t look at it.”

Song Lilan ran away crying.

Song Yuanzhi couldn’t help but shake her head. Tut tut, this cheap sister’s fighting ability is getting worse and worse.

After this, Song Lilan finally became clear-minded and no longer bothered Song Yuanzhi. Madam Liu, with her motherly heart, wanted to exploit Song Yuanzhi’s dowry and use it to supplement Song Lilan. However, after her harsh treatment towards the eldest daughter of the family’s first wife was exposed, Song Yan’s future was affected. Naturally, she lost Song Yan’s support, and with the help of Aunt Liu sent by Madam Qin, Madam Liu could not find a loophole for a while, so she could only grit her teeth and whisper to Song Yan, “Generally, when a girl comes out of the teenage, her parents will arrange the wedding. I did a lot of stupid things before. It’s just that the eldest girl doesn’t want me to interfere in her marriage. But master is her biological father; you gave her a body of flesh and blood, and now that she is acting like this, I feel sorry for you.”

Song Yan was also filled with anger, but what could he do? The situation was stronger than the others. If he made a fuss at this moment and something happens, then it probably would be the time to take his family out of the capital. How can he dare to cause more trouble?

Therefore, the recent atmosphere in the Song Family was very strange. It is obvious that the two girls are bethored, and they are both marrying high, but the host and hostess are not in a good mood, and they suppress their joy a bit.

Song Yuanzhi didn’t care. It would be the Mid-Autumn Festival in half a month, and it would also be her wedding to Lu Shaoyou. No matter how bad Song Yan and Madam Liu were, she didn’t have to look at their two bitter faces when she went to the Zhenbei Mansion.

Father is in a bad mood? This is a great thing. I should give my stepmother a stick of incense to celebrate.

On the contrary, it was Song Lilan who made Song Yan and Madam Liu very upset over the dowry matter. In the end, Song Yan slapped her in the face, and she cried in her room for several days, too embarrassed to come out to see anyone.

Every time at this time, Song Yuanzhi regrets that there are no melon seeds in this era. Otherwise, this drama of this family of three will be very suitable to watch while eating melon seeds, and most importantly, it’s free to watch; it would be a loss not to take the front seat.

Lu Shaoyou also seemed to feel that the Song Family was quite lively recently. After finishing his work, he walked into Song Yuanzhi’s courtyard by familiar routes. Song Yuanzhi happened to finish counting the accounts. When she turned her head, Lu Shaoyou’s handsome face came into her eyes. Song Yuanzhi was surprised and happy; she subconsciously held the corner of Lu Shaoyou’s clothes, tilted her head, and smiled, “Why are you here? Doesn’t it mean that according to the rules, we can’t meet before we get married?”

Lu Shaoyou saw her bright smile and clear eyes, talking about getting married. There was a slight hint of blush on his face, and his heart felt like a gust of spring breeze, and flowers bloomed. There was a bit of sweetness on his lips, and his tone of voice was three points softer than usual. He whispered to Song Yuanzhi, biting her ears, “These rules are very annoying. I had to sneak around to avoid Momo Liu when I came to see you. If she sees me, she will definitely drive me back.”

Song Yuanzhi felt the hot breath beside her ears and wanted to avoid it again. She stopped moving inexplicably, and her white ears gradually turned a crimson color. Lu Shaoyou caught a glimpse of it and froze for a moment. His eyes were deep, and he opened his mouth. All kinds of emotions emerged in his heart. In the end, they were all suppressed by him, and with great restraint, a gentle kiss fell on Song Yuanzhi’s ear.

However, Song Yuanzhi trembled and subconsciously raised her head to look at Lu Shaoyou, but he grabbed her belt and put her in his arms. His heartbeat was beating like a drum in her ears. Song Yuanzhi felt that her whole body was extremely hot, and even her own face was flushed. She wanted to say something but couldn’t bear to ruin such a beautiful atmosphere, so she took Lu Shaoyou’s hand and played with it carefully. His hands were very pleasing to the eye, with well-defined joints, slender, and white. Due to martial arts training, there was a thin layer of calluses between the palms and fingers. Every time she touched and rubbed them, Song Yuanzhi’s heart trembled.

Lu Shaoyou quietly hugged Song Yuanzhi and let her play with his fingers. His eyes fell on the hands held by the two of them. The words “hold your hand and grow old together” unexpectedly came to mind, and his eyes were immediately filled with tenderness.

The two of them were originally outgoing and lively, and they would talk endlessly when they were together. But now it was rare for them to be quiet, and there was a sense of tenderness in the air.

Song Yuanzhi had enough fun, turned around and poked Lu Shaoyou’s waist, raised her head, and wanted to call out “Ah-ji,” but her lips just brushed Lu Shaoyou’s Adam’s apple.

In an instant, Song Yuanzhi felt that Lu Shaoyou’s body temperature was frighteningly hot, and the muscles all over his body were tense to the extreme. Song Yuanzhi sensed danger and subconsciously wanted to hide, but was locked tightly in his arms and could not move.

After reacting, Song Yuanzhi’s face turned red, and her body froze. However, after hearing Lu Shaoyou’s increasingly vigorous heartbeat, she slowly calmed down and snuggled into Lu Shaoyou’s arms obediently and stopped moving.

The girl he had been thinking about for a long time was nestled in his arms so meekly. When Lu Shaoyou lowered his head, he could see her fair and slender neck, and her ears were tinted with a delicate pink color. She was so well-behaved that she allowed him to ask for anything he wanted.

Lu Shaoyou breathed heavily suddenly, with a faint scarlet color on his ears. He lowered his head and carefully held Song Yuanzhi’s face. His hot breath spread on Song Yuanzhi’s face, making Song Yuanzhi’s heart beat quickly and disobediently. Boom, boom, boom, in the room, there seemed to be only the sound of their heartbeats. Song Yuanzhi closed her eyes slightly, as if she were shy, but also seemed to be looking forward to something.

During this excruciating wait, Song Yuanzhi only felt a warmth on her forehead. It turned out to be Lu Shaoyou’s cherished kiss on her eyebrows. Song Yuanzhi’s crow-feather eyelashes trembled; she slowly opened her eyes, and her gaze fell into Lu Shaoyou’s eyes. In the deep and hot eyes, Song Yuanzhi felt that it was difficult to even breathe for a moment.

Lu Shaoyou smiled slightly and placed another kiss on Song Yuanzhi’s face with great restraint. His voice was hoarse, but it seemed to be charged with electricity, making Song Yuanzhi’s whole body tingle.

“In half a month, you will be the most enviable and happiest bride in the whole capital.”
