After rebirth, my elder sister wants to steal my husband!

One afternoon, Lu Zhiran was walking alone in the courtyard. She looked at the blooming flowers and green trees, and a sense of inexplicable melancholy surged in her heart. At this moment, she suddenly heard a familiar sound of footsteps. She looked up and saw Fu Yuzhang walking towards her.

"Zhiran, why are you standing here in a daze alone?" Fu Yuzhang walked to Lu Zhiran and patted her shoulder gently.

Lu Zhiran came back to his senses, smiled and shook his head: "Nothing, I just miss our old days."

Fu Yuzhang's heart tightened when he heard this. He knew that he had neglected his wife's feelings because of work. He held Lu Zhiran's hand and said gently, "Zhiran, I'm sorry. I know I've been a little busy these days and ignored your feelings. But please believe that I will always love you and care about you. No matter how busy I am, I will try my best to make time to accompany you."

When Lu Zhiran heard her husband's words, she felt a warm current in her heart. She knew that her husband was working hard for the country and the people, and she should understand and support him. She nodded gently: "I know your difficulties. I will always be by your side, no matter how many storms there are in the future."

The two smiled at each other, and all the sadness and loss disappeared. They walked hand in hand in the courtyard, enjoying this rare time together. They knew that as long as they loved and supported each other, they could go through every stage of life together.

In the misty rain of Jiangnan, the gate of Lu Mansion slowly opened, and a carriage slowly drove in from a distance, the sound of horse hooves echoing on the bluestone slabs. The carriage stopped, the door opened slightly, and a tall figure walked out of the carriage. It was Fu Yuzhang who had returned after a long absence.

Fu Yuzhang, dressed in a blue shirt, had a handsome face and a heroic look between his eyebrows. His eyes were deep, as if he could see through people's hearts. Lu Zhiran stood in the door, her eyes flashing with excitement. She walked forward and called softly, "Yuzhang, you are finally back."

Fu Yuzhang smiled slightly, walked forward and hugged Lu Zhiran tightly, his voice full of tenderness: "Zhiran, I've kept you waiting for a long time." The reunion of the two seemed to make even the air around them become sweet.

Mu Qizong, Lu Zhiran's brother-in-law, was standing not far away, staring at the two of them with a gloomy look. During the time when Fu Yuzhang was away, he often harassed Lu Zhiran in the name of relatives, but now that Fu Yuzhang has returned, he dare not act rashly anymore.

Mu Qizong had a sinister face and a tall stature, but he always gave people a gloomy feeling. He was dressed in gorgeous clothes, but he couldn't hide his inner jealousy and unwillingness. He thought to himself: "Fu Yuzhang, you are back after all. But don't forget that the water in Jiangnan is very deep, and it is not easy for an outsider like you to stir it up."

Fu Yuzhang seemed to feel Mu Qizong's gaze. He turned his head and glanced at Mu Qizong indifferently. That glance seemed to be able to see through all of Mu Qizong's thoughts. Mu Qizong's heart shuddered and he couldn't help but take a few steps back.

Lu Zhiran noticed the subtle atmosphere between the two of them. She gently pulled Fu Yuzhang's sleeve and whispered, "Yuzhang, let's go in. Don't keep Brother-in-law Mu waiting for too long."

Fu Yuzhang nodded, took Lu Zhiran's hand and walked into the mansion. The two of them walked side by side, looking particularly harmonious in the misty rain.

Inside the mansion, a welcoming banquet had already been prepared. Lu Zhiran's father, Master Lu, sat in the main seat, his face filled with a joyful smile. He looked at Fu Yuzhang, his eyes full of admiration: "Yuzhang, when you come back this time, you must stay in our Jiangnan and stop running around."

Fu Yuzhang bowed and replied respectfully: "Don't worry, father-in-law, Yuzhang came back this time to spend the rest of his life with Ran and never leave."

Mu Qizong sat aside, his face becoming increasingly gloomy. He knew in his heart that Fu Yuzhang's return meant that he could no longer approach Lu Zhiran as easily as before. He was unwilling in his heart, but he could only endure it all silently.

At the banquet, there were clinking glasses and laughter. But Mu Qizong's heart was as heavy and depressed as if covered by a dark cloud. He looked at Fu Yuzhang and Lu Zhiran from time to time, with a complex light flashing in his eyes.

It was late at night, and the banquet was over. Fu Yuzhang and Lu Zhiran walked hand in hand on the way back to their room. The moonlight was like water, sprinkling on them, covering the couple with a layer of silver gauze. Mu Qizong stood in the distance, staring at the backs of the two, with an inexplicable emotion in his heart. He knew that the fate between him and Lu Zhiran might have ended here.

As the night deepened, Mu Qizong sat alone in his study, holding a cup of cold tea in his hand, but his heart was just like the tea, bitter and cold. He looked out the window, the moonlight was like water, sprinkled on his face, but it could not dispel the haze in his heart.

At this time, Fu Yuzhang and Lu Zhiran were whispering in the room, telling each other about their thoughts and future plans. Although their voices were low, they were full of happiness and expectations. But all this was like a needle piercing his heart for Mu Qizong.

The night was as dark as ink, and the lights in Mu Qizong's study were flickering. His shadow stretched long on the wall, as if it was a reflection of his mood at the moment - heavy and lonely. He put down the cold tea in his hand, stood up, walked to the window, and stared at the bright moon outside the window.

The Jiangnan water town under the moonlight was quiet and beautiful. Occasionally, fishing boats passed by on the sparkling river, leaving a series of ripples. The pavilions and terraces in the distance were looming in the moonlight, like a flowing ink painting. However, this beautiful scenery seemed to be nothing in Mu Qizong's eyes, and he only felt endless boredom and unwillingness in his heart.

He recalled the days when he met Lu Zhiran. At that time, she was still an innocent girl with a vision of the future in her eyes. He thought that he could give her happiness and spend his life with her. However, the trick of fate made him miss happiness.

Fu Yuzhang's return was like a huge rock thrown into a calm lake, stirring up ripples. He knew that he could no longer approach Lu Zhiran as easily as before, because she already had someone else in her heart. This realization was like a sharp knife, piercing deep into his heart.
