Zhang Xiangxiu felt a pain in her heart. She didn't expect Fu Yuzhang to say such a thing.

If possible, who wouldn't want to always maintain that superior and clean appearance?

But she had no choice. If she didn't fight and compete, she would be trampled into the mud by others and would never be able to stand up.

How could she, a lady of a noble family, accept the fact that she had to be inferior to a merchant's concubine's daughter?

"Yuzhang, I became like this because I love you." Zhang Xiangxiu hugged Fu Yuzhang tightly, "I know I was wrong, I will change, I will become like before."

Zhang Xiangxiu begged Fu Yuzhang humbly.

Fu Yuzhang closed his eyes. He felt Zhang Xiangxiu's embrace, but his heart was cold.

He knew that some things, once lost, could never be recovered.

"Xiangxiu, please let go." Fu Yuzhang gently pushed Zhang Xiangxiu away, "We can't go back to the way we were before."

After saying that, he turned around and left.

Without any attachment, extremely heartless.

An angry look appeared on Zhang Xiangxiu's face. She looked at Fu Yuzhang's departing back, her heart filled with resentment and resentment.

At this moment, she hated Lu Zhiran and hated her for taking away her Fu Yuzhang.

She hated Fu Yuzhang even more. He had promised that he only loved her and would stand by her unconditionally no matter what he did. How could he change his heart so easily?

Fu Yuzhang walked in the corridor, his mind in confusion.

He recalled the good times he had with Zhang Xiangxiu, and also remembered Lu Zhiran's clear and gentle eyes.

He knew he had made his choice, but he didn't know how to face the future.

Lu Zhiran must hate him for his behavior today.

The mansion was silent at night, with only the sound of wind rustling the leaves.

Fu Yuzhang sat alone in the pavilion in the garden, looking at the bright moon tonight, his heart filled with confusion and melancholy.

It was a long time before Fu Yuzhang returned to his yard.

The servant came over to report.

Zhang Xiangxiu had already left.

……

"I will never believe the Marquis again. If I believe his lies again, I will be a puppy!"

After returning from Fu Yuzhang's yard that day, Zixiang went into a state of rage.

It was obvious that he was very angry about Fu Yuzhang's behavior of defending Zhang Xiangxiu that day.

Lu Zhiran, who was sitting on a chair, felt at a loss whether to laugh or cry when he saw Zixiang like this.

"Okay, okay, you've been saying this for two days. Aren't you tired of it?" Lu Zhiran comforted her while stuffing some snacks into his mouth.

"Ma'am, you're not angry at all?"

Zixiang felt anxious for Lu Zhiran when she saw how indifferent she was.

"The Marquis kept saying that he loved you the most and coaxed you with sweet words, but at the critical moment, he stood on the side of that concubine Zhang Xiangxiu. I was so angry!"

At this time, Xiaoying walked in from outside.

"Cough cough..."

Lu Zhiran and Zixiang looked at her together.

"Madam, the Third Prince's concubine Ke'er requests to see you."

"Let her in."

After a while, there were slight footsteps outside the door, and then a woman walked in.

This woman is Ke'er. Today she is wearing a light blue dress with delicate patterns embroidered on the hem, which makes her look fresh and refined.

As soon as Ke'er entered the room, she bowed and saluted to Lu Zhiran.

Her voice is clear and pleasant, like a mountain stream, which makes people happy.

"Ke'er greets Madam. May Madam be blessed with good health." Ke'er said respectfully.

Lu Zhiran smiled slightly, put down the teacup in his hand, and raised his hand gently, "Sister Ke'er, there is no need to be polite, please stand up quickly."

After being taught etiquette for a few days by the nanny invited by the Third Prince, Ke'er's manners have become much more generous and she is no longer as reserved as before.

Ke'er stood up and walked to sit opposite Lu Zhiran.

The atmosphere between the two people is both cordial and maintains a certain distance, which just right shows the identity and relationship between the two.

"Sister, is there something important that brought you here today?" Lu Zhiran asked softly. Her voice was gentle yet majestic, making people want to listen involuntarily.

Ke'er nodded, a hint of joy on her face, "I have already done what Madam asked me to do. The Third Prince has promised to take back the property at the city gate for Madam."

As she spoke, Ke'er took out a token from her waist.

The word "Ye" is engraved on it.

"Madam, when you get to the city gate, you can use this token to instruct General Wu there. I believe that with the help of General Wu, it will be easy for Madam to take back her property in the city gate."

A hint of satisfaction flashed in Lu Zhiran's eyes. She gently took the token handed to her by Ke'er and looked at it carefully.

"Ke'er, you've worked hard." Lu Zhiran said with a smile, her voice full of gratitude and relief.

Ke Er smiled slightly, with a blush on her face, "It is Ke Er's honor to serve Madam."

"And if it weren't for Madam's guidance, there wouldn't be Ke'er today. Ke'er should do all this."

Her voice is soft and delicate, like a spring breeze blowing on your face, making you feel happy.

This Ke'er is a very good person.

"Don't say that. To get the Third Prince to agree, you must have contributed a lot."

Lu Zhiran said, and poured a cup of tea for Ke'er himself, "Come, have a cup of tea, and we will talk slowly."

Ke'er took the teacup and took a sip, but a ripple appeared in her heart.

This was the first time in such a long time that someone paid so much attention to her.

When I was a maid, who cared whether I was tired or not? Was it hard work?

It turns out that only by becoming a master can you gain respect.

After drinking the tea, Ke'er looked at Lu Zhiran's calm demeanor and couldn't help but feel a little envious and admiring.

At the beginning, when Lu Zhiran was in the Lu family, he was also timid.

I didn't expect that after marrying into the Marquis's Mansion.

The change is so huge.

"Oh, by the way, Madam, Ke'er came here today. In addition to telling you about this happy event, there is another happy event that I want to tell you."

Lu Zhiran raised his eyebrows.

"Oh? Tell me!"

There was a gleam of gloating in Ke'er's eyes.

"Lu Nianyao and Mu Qizong caused a commotion in the Third Prince's residence, and were arrested as spies."

"Now he is being tortured day and night in the water dungeon in the Third Prince's mansion."

“Hahahaha…it feels so good.”

"Originally I was thinking of finding an excuse to deal with them, but I didn't expect them to run into the gun themselves.
