Are you crazy? Trying to trick him into military service? He's the number one dragon on the fro

"Are all those vows of eternal love and romantic moments under the moon and flowers now meaningless?"

Amidst the villagers' astonished gazes, Lin Ruoxue burst into tears, about to throw herself into Lu Xiao's arms to pour out her sorrow of separation and their past affection.

Seeing this, Lu Xiao quickly stepped aside, coldly snorted, and did not reply.

He knew exactly what this woman wanted.

Lin Ruoxue was not angry when she missed. After regaining her balance, she tried to grab Lu Xiao's arm, but at that moment she found that someone had grabbed her arm first.

Snapped--

The moment she turned around, Liu Xianya's slap landed squarely on her face.

"You shameless vixen, you almost killed my husband before, are you trying to do it again?"

"you……"

Who are you?

Lin Ruoxue was stunned, covering her face with extreme anger and grievance.

Before Liu Xianya could respond, Lu Xiao took her hand and said to Lin Ruoxue:

"This is the mistress of the Lu family, the future mistress you will serve, Liu Xianya, the first wife of the Lu family!"

"My husband..."

Liu Xianya blushed instantly, lowered her head and dared not look at anyone, especially the burning gazes of the villagers around her made her wish she could find a place to crawl into!

Lu Xiao kept looking at Lin Ruoxue:

"Didn't you always tell me that if I love you, I should be willing to do anything for you?"

"Lin Ruoxue, if you love me, first respectfully kowtow to Xianya and call her 'Madam,' and I will agree to marry you."

"Do you dare?"

Lin Ruoxue was speechless after being rebuked.

After a long silence, she finally spoke again:

"But……"

"But what?"

This time, Liu Xianya took over the conversation:

"You're showing your face everywhere before you're even married; where's the air of a pampered young lady?"

"If I were you, I would have hanged myself from a crooked tree long ago!"

"What right do you, an old widow, have to insult me?"

Lin Ruoxue found her increasingly familiar, and finally remembered that she was the famous Aunt Liu from Sangzi Village. She immediately retorted, unwilling to accept defeat:

"At her age, she still targets a young man like Lu Lang; she has no shame!"

"I'm a widow, but I'm still better than a hypocrite like you who eats from one bowl while eyeing another, spending your days freeloading without ever contributing a single penny!"

Liu Xianya was not intimidated at all:

"Lin Ruoxue, you call yourself a daughter of a prominent family, but your behavior is no different from those women in brothels. Besides being young and having some looks, you have no other assets."

"I, Liu Xianya, earn my living with my own hands and know how to be grateful. I am far superior to you!"

"Before you speak, ask yourself honestly if you have a clear conscience towards my husband!"

"..."

Lin Ruoxue was completely speechless and almost cried from being scolded.

Seeing this, Liu Xianya snorted and stepped forward, reaching out to help her remove the dead leaves from her hair. But Lin Ruoxue thought this woman was going to hit her again, so she quickly shrank back, her face full of satisfaction.

She immediately laughed, and completely lost interest in competing with the other party.

After all, Lin Ruoxue was not worthy of being her opponent.

Liu Xianya turned around immediately, took Lu Xiao's hand again, and smiled radiantly.

"Husband, I just made you a pot of meat soup. It won't taste good if it gets cold. Let's go home quickly."

"it is good."

Lu Xiao nodded and walked home with her.

However, as soon as he entered, he found that Liu Xianya had locked herself in her dormitory room and hadn't come out for a long time, and she wouldn't let him in either.

Just as he was filled with anxiety, Liu Xianya walked out in a bright red wedding dress, and asked shyly in a low voice:

"My husband, am I beautiful?"

"Xianya, what's wrong with you...?"

Lu Xiao's heart was instantly ignited, and he took a few steps forward to grasp the other person's slightly rough hand:

"Is this the wedding dress you prepared for our wedding?"

"If you wear it now, what will you do at the wedding...?"

"My lord, please listen to me."

Liu Xianya nodded gently, pulled him back to the room, and sat side by side on the edge of the bed:

"I thought about it all night and decided to make the most of this day and become your bride today. If I'm lucky, I might even be able to conceive a child, which will help you continue the Lu family line."

Are you leaving?

Lu Xiao remained silent for a long time, then suddenly thought of a possibility and pressed for an answer.

At this moment, Liu Xianya was already in tears, and nodded as she met his burning gaze:

"Actually... I am not a native of Changyang. My parents in the county town were just people I trusted."

"My home is in Dongshan County, in the northern part of the city. It's the second house from the front!"

Lu Xiao suddenly realized why Liu Xianya was so passionate last night, as if she wanted to melt into his body and stay up all night to seize every minute and second with him.

Having traveled through time for so long, he has also figured out some of the situations in the Great Zhou Dynasty.

Dongshan County is the easternmost county of the Great Zhou Dynasty, and the second gate mentioned by Liu Xianya was originally the residence of Liu Yun, a famous Confucian scholar of the Great Zhou Dynasty, whose students and friends were all over the world!

Liu Xianya's eyes were red:

"When the late emperor was alive, my father taught the current emperor in the Prince of Lu's residence. He was the Prince of Lu's first and last teacher."

"It is now the third year of Dehong, and seven or eight years have passed since that incident, but whenever I think about it, it feels like it was just yesterday."

"Although the imperial court investigated afterward and publicly stated to the world that the fire at Prince Lu's residence was an accident, both Prince Lu and I knew that it was deliberately caused to prevent Prince Lu from ascending the throne!"

"At that time, my father also realized that it was a conspiracy. In order to save Prince Lu... who is now the Dehong Emperor, he had my brother, who was my brother, impersonate Prince Lu and die in his place when the thieves broke into Prince Lu's mansion during the fire to eliminate them."

"..."

With each word she spoke, her voice choked with emotion, until finally she was sobbing uncontrollably.

Lu Xiao, however, knew what happened next.

That fire shocked the world, and even now people still occasionally mention it.

As far as he knew, everyone in the palace except for Prince Lu, including Liu Xianya's family, perished in the fire, because they were all attending a banquet at Prince Lu's palace at the time.

"Back then, if it weren't for the old servant in my family risking his life to protect me, I would have..."

Liu Xianya burst into tears after she finished speaking.

Lu Xiao pulled him into his arms and comforted him for a while until he calmed down a bit before asking:

"Are you telling me all this because you want to go to Beijing to avenge your family?"

"Yes and no."

Liu Xianya nodded, then shook her head:

"Emperor Dehong has only been on the throne for three years, and his power base in the court is unstable. In recent years, he has never shown any intention to investigate the truth of the fire that year."

"I wonder if he still remembers, and if he does, whether he's willing to avenge my father and the others. I just want to ask him to his face, do you still remember all those who were willing to die for him!"

"I want to complete this before we marry because I don't want to be a burden to my husband!"
