Yunlu was in an unusually good mood this morning, and even hummed a little tune, which made Tong'er stunned.

Maybe it was a casual conversation with Chen Ao and Zhao Heng yesterday that made her much more cheerful. Zhao Heng is well-informed and knowledgeable, and between his words, there are many things that Yunlu has never heard of. Although Chen Ao does not have such a wealth of knowledge, he is a sword that goes off the rails and makes gags, which makes everyone laugh. The two of them were good at winning, and Yun Lu chatted so freely for the first time.

Or maybe it was the polite behavior of Chen Ao and Zhao Heng that made Yunlu feel cordial. Chen Ao and Zhao Heng didn't regard Yunlu as a dusty woman, even the tiniest details, it could be seen that they really regarded Yunlu as a friend. Yun Lu is sensitive and understands this.

Friend...... It was the first time she felt this way. In the past, Yunlu didn't have a friend. Men are only concerned about her beauty, while women have a deep jealousy of her. The only one who is close to her is the little girl Tong'er. But Tong'er is too young to communicate about many things.

Yun Lu thought about these thoughts, and a smile appeared on the corner of her mouth. We chatted late last night, and Zhao Heng insisted on rushing back overnight, but Chen Ao's injuries were not light, and he was alone, so he simply stayed in the guest room of Qunfang Courtyard.

Presumably Chen Ao will come over later. Yun Lu thought to herself, Chen Ao refused to tell how he became the helmsman of the Salt Gang and the leader of the Martial Arts Alliance yesterday, who refused to tell him whether he was a person who knew martial arts at all. I have to ask today!

Tong'er looked at the "weird" smile on Yunlu's face, and her heart was furious, and she didn't even dare to stay in the house, so she hurriedly ran out of the door, and happened to collide with the shopkeeper of Qunfang Courtyard.

Shopkeeper You snorted "oops" and scolded: "You wild girl, clean you up sooner or later!"

Tong'er obviously didn't know much about the authority of the shopkeeper, stuck out her tongue and smiled: "Shopkeeper, who told you to walk like a ghost, there is no footsteps at all!"

Shopkeeper You scolded: "Phew! Go and tell your girl, the owner of the village invites her to the back hall!"

Yunlu had already heard it in the house, and couldn't help frowning. It's been two days since Cao Yi returned to the village, but he hasn't seen her. I don't know where we came from when we suddenly met today. However, Cao Yi is Yunlu's benefactor, no matter what, she should go.

Yunlu came to the inconspicuous courtyard alone. It's not the first time I've been here, but every time I come here, Yunlu can always feel a chill, which makes my heart palpitate.

She calmed down, walked into the small courtyard, and saw Cao Yi sitting under a tree reading a book. Yun Lu gave a salute and said softly, "Owner"!

Cao Yi raised his head when he heard the voice, and his eyes glanced at Yun Lu's face. Although he was already familiar with this face, every time he saw it, he still couldn't help but feel his heart racing and his breathing was short.

Yunlu was rescued by Cao Yi's father, but she didn't have time to become a member of the Cao family. The Cao family is now Cao Yi in charge, if he wants to collect Yunlu into a few, it is really easy. But Cao Yi didn't. He knew that a woman like Yun Lu was destined to bring disaster to the country and the people and turn all beings upside down!

Cao Yi hurriedly looked away, and asked with a smile: "These days, how are you doing? Have you ever encountered trouble in Qunfangyuan?"

Yunlu replied as usual: "Thank you for your concern, I'm fine." I also had a good time in Gunboin. ”

She looked at Cao Yi's handsome and rigid face and sighed secretly. She once thought that she would naturally spend her life with the owner of this face, husband and child. But Cao Yi sent her to Qunfang Courtyard and became a dusty woman who served people with her voice. Since then, she has no feelings for this person anymore.

Cao Yi nodded and said, "I remember that when you were nine years old, there was a drastic change in your family, and you were also rushed to be an official slave and sent to the Teaching Workshop Division. I can't imagine that a few years have passed, and you have become a big girl. ”

Although Yunlu is only seventeen years old, she is more mature than women of the same age. She heard what Cao Yi said, so she said: "The kindness of the owner of the village and the old owner to the concubine, the concubine will repay each other!"

Cao Yi smiled: "What can't you report? After so many years, I have long regarded you as my own sister." Now it's time for me to think about your life's work......"

Yunlu frowned, and her heart became confused again.

Cao Yi said: "That Chen Ao ......"

When Yunlu heard these words, her heart couldn't help but pound.

Cao Yi continued: "There is a Mr. Zhao by Chen Ao's side, you should know him, right?"

Yunlu nodded blankly. Cao Yi smiled: "If I ask you to marry him, what do you think?"

Yun Lu didn't know why in her heart, she was a little empty. She didn't know why she felt this way, but said, "I've only met him twice, and I don't know who he is and what he does for a living......

Cao Yi laughed and said, "The two of us have no other relatives in the world now, and we can be regarded as dependent on each other." As the saying goes, the eldest brother is like a father, and the person I choose for you will definitely not be wrong!"

Yun Lu heard a hint of clues, and couldn't help asking, "Does the owner of the village know the details of Mr. Zhao?"

Cao Yi had an unfathomable expression on his face, and said with a smile: "He? His real name is Zhao Heng, and he is today!"

Yun Lu's complexion changed suddenly, and there was a "buzzing" sound in his head, as if he had fallen into a huge whirlpool. She didn't hear a word of Cao Yi's words. In the end, Cao Yi personally sent her to the door, patted her on the shoulder, and said with a smile: "Your Majesty, with the respect of the emperor, refuses to force you, but instead breaks the knots." It's rare to be so affectionate. You have to cherish it!"

Yunlu left the small courtyard and walked towards Qunfang Courtyard step by step. She seemed to have lost her soul, but her mind was unusually clear, and many of her previous doubts were suddenly cleared. No wonder Shopkeeper You is respectful to Zhao Heng, no wonder Zhao Heng can know the news in the palace. It's ridiculous that Chen Ao is still stammering Zhao Heng, hoping that Zhao Heng can bring him a little news from the palace.

Yunlu laughed self-deprecatingly. She knows that although she is beautiful, whether it is a son or a prince or grandson, they are all eager for her. But she is essentially a commodity, a commodity that Cao Yi uses in exchange for greater benefits! Can she escape this fate?

But do you really want to give yourself to Zhao Heng? That person's father once ruined her home......

Cao Yi sat in the courtyard for a long time before beckoning and saying, "Someone!"

A wizened old man bowed forward. Cao Yi said: "Go and invite Chen Ao and Chen Gongzi to come! Inform the people in the forest that no matter what happens later, they don't need to come out!"

The old man went without saying a word. Cao Yimu sent him out, smiled lightly, and said to himself, "Chen Ao...... Chen Ao...... Hehe, old friend, it's time for us to meet too!"
