Chapter 143 Are you sure you want to repay me with your body?
"It's all for the Third Miss." Chun Que's eyes instantly reddened.
"If you can marry into the Lu family, I only ask one thing: that you ask the madam to return the third young lady to me. By then, you will be the daughter-in-law of the General's Mansion, and the madam will surely listen to you."
Chen Dongxi felt much more at ease after hearing this.
It turns out the other party also had ulterior motives.
In that case, they each get what they want.
“Alright, as long as you can help me arrange a marriage between Lu Lingzhao and me, I will have the First Madam return the Third Miss to you.” Chen Dongxi agreed.
"Tell me what I should do. I can't even leave the house now, how am I supposed to meet Lu Lingzhao?" Chen Dongxi said, deflated.
Chun Que smiled slightly: "This matter is very simple. The eldest young master's birthday is in half a month, and he and Lu Lingzhao are classmates. At that time, Madam will have the eldest young master invite Lu Lingzhao over. You just need to take the opportunity to bump into him, and pretend to accidentally fall into the water or something..."
She didn't finish speaking, but Chen Dongxi understood.
Then she can say, "I have no way to repay your life-saving grace, so I will repay you with my body."
……
Chunque persuaded Chen Dongxi to go back and report the matter to Cui Ruixin.
Cui Ruixin generously ordered someone to take Yu Danying to her courtyard so that the mother and daughter could meet.
Yu Danying initially cried and refused, but after hearing that it was her mother's order, she obediently went.
After Chunque left, Xia Ying couldn't help but ask, "Madam, do you really want that woman surnamed Chen to marry into the General's Mansion?"
"How could that be?" Cui Ruixin curled her lips, her face full of sarcasm.
“The Lu family isn’t stupid; they won’t agree. But Chen Dongxi is from the third branch of the family, and the Lu family and the third branch will inevitably have a rift because of Chen Dongxi in the future. That’s enough.”
Xia Ying then understood.
Madam, your true intention is not what you seem.
Before you know it, it's Yu Ziche's birthday.
Yu Ziche invited a group of classmates to his home to celebrate.
But to Cui Rui's surprise, Lu Lingguang and Yu Ningyao also came.
"Why are they here?" She frowned, sensing that something was going wrong today.
Xia Ying replied, "It is said that when the eldest young master personally came to invite Lu Lingzhao, Lu Lingguang was also there, so he was brought along as well. As you know, the second young lady and Lu Lingguang are inseparable, so when she heard that he was coming, she came along too."
Hearing it this way, it does seem like there's really no problem.
"Keep a close eye on her, don't let that girl ruin today's plans," Cui Ruixin instructed.
Every encounter with Yu Ningyao brings nothing good, so she really has to be careful.
"it is good."
Suddenly, several pairs of eyes were fixed on Yu Ningyao at the banquet.
Yu Ningyao was unaware that she had aroused Cui Ruixin's suspicion, and was happily sharing Lian Sheng Ji's snacks with Lu Lingguang.
"I told you, this is delicious. It was worth the trip, wasn't it?" She chuckled.
She originally didn't want to attend her older cousin's birthday party.
But when she heard that Lian Sheng Ji had dim sum, she couldn't resist going there.
This is a newly opened pastry shop. The pastries they make are not only beautifully presented, but also exceptionally delicious.
Most importantly, this store has a purchase limit.
You can make an appointment to buy it, but the waiting list is already three months in advance.
Yu Ningyao couldn't forget it after trying it once.
I heard that it was my eldest cousin's birthday and my aunt spent a lot of money to prepare desserts, so of course I had to come and freeload off him.
These grown men don't understand how delicious desserts are, so she'll eat them for them!
"It's really delicious!" Lu Lingguang nodded vigorously.
He also likes sweets and desserts, so the two of them can be said to have gotten along well in terms of food.
After the meal, Yu Ziche invited everyone to the backyard to admire the flowers and compose poems.
Lu Lingguang and Yu Ningyao were not interested in this kind of thing.
Lu Lingguang then suggested that Yu Ningyao take him for a stroll in her courtyard.
"I heard you used to live here, let's go take a look."
“Okay,” Yu Ningyao readily agreed.
The two went to the courtyard of the third house.
The hawksbill turtle was startled when it saw her.
"Second Miss, why are you here?"
“This is my home. I can come back whenever I want. Is there a problem?” Yu Ningyao asked in return.
"No problem, no problem. I'm just a little surprised. It's been so long since I've seen Second Miss. I'm so happy." A hint of panic flashed across Dai Mao's face.
"Where is Sister Xi'er?" Yu Ningyao sensed something was wrong.
The hawksbill turtle's expression didn't look surprised; it looked more like it was frightened.
"He's resting inside." Tortoiseshell glanced around haphazardly, trying to come up with an excuse.
She accepted the money from Chen Dongxi.
They turned a blind eye to Chen Dongxi's whereabouts, as long as he didn't leave the Marquis's residence.
Unexpectedly, the second young lady suddenly visited today.
If the second young lady finds out that Chen Dongxi left the courtyard and tells the master, that would be a real problem.
“I haven’t seen her in a long time, so I’ll go see her.” Without saying a word, Yu Ningyao went to Chen Dongxi’s courtyard to look for her.
"Sister? You have a sister?" Lu Lingguang, a beat behind, caught up and asked.
"I've never heard you mention your sister before."
“She is not my parents’ child,” Yu Ningyao explained, recounting Chen Dongxi’s background.
"Since she is the daughter of my savior, why leave her here alone?" Lu Lingguang asked, puzzled.
Yu Ningyao then told her everything that Chen Dongxi had done.
She had no idea that family scandals should not be aired in public.
Lu Lingguang's eyes widened after hearing this.
What an stupid person.
He tugged at Yu Ningyao: "Why don't we just not see her? What if we catch her stupidity?"
Yu Ningyao laughed and said, "It's alright, it's not a big problem. Since I'm here, I should visit her."
“You and your father are both kind-hearted,” Lu Lingguang muttered.
"Sister Xi'er, I've come to see you!" Yu Ningyao called out, but no one answered.
The hawksbill turtle following behind was so anxious that it almost fainted.
Yu Ningyao searched the house but didn't see Chen Dongxi, so she turned to look at the hawksbill turtle.
"What about people?"
The hawksbill turtle's face turned deathly pale, and it stammered, unable to utter a single word.
Just then, screams came from afar.
"Someone has fallen into the water! Help!"
This courtyard isn't too far from the courtyard where Yu Ziche and the others were admiring the flowers.
The sound seemed to be coming from over there.
A thought suddenly flashed through Yu Ningyao's mind: Could it be that Chen Dongxi fell into the water?
She ran away.
Lu Lingguang hurriedly chased after him.
Just as they arrived, Lu Lingzhao jumped down to save people.
Yu Ningyao had read thousands of novels and was very familiar with this formula.
Without saying a word, she suddenly pushed Yu Ziche, who was standing to the side, down.
"Brother, hurry and save them! These are your guests, you can't let anything happen to them."
After practicing martial arts, Yu Ningyao became much stronger.
In addition, her actions were sudden, and Yu Ziche was caught off guard and pushed into the water.
The servants panicked immediately.
They all jumped down to save the young master.
Yu Ningyao looked at it and thought, "Oh no, I seem to be in the wrong for pushing someone."
She quickly told Lu Lingguang, "Don't go into the water, wait for me, let your older brother save me."
After saying that, she plunged into the water.
"Brother Zhao, help me!"
She swam towards Lu Lingzhao's direction.
Lu Lingguang, who was on the shore, hurriedly shouted, "Big brother, save my little aunt!!! She can't be hurt!"
Lu Lingzhao had just grabbed Chen Dongxi and was trying to carry her back to shore when he heard his younger brother and Yu Ningyao's voices.
He was startled.
Just then, many servants from the Marquis's mansion came to rescue people from the water. He immediately shoved Chen Dongxi, whom he had rescued, into the arms of a servant, swam towards Yu Ningyao, and pulled her out of the water in a bundle.
Yu Ziche also fainted after choking on water.
In an instant, the entire Marquis's residence was thrown into chaos.
……
When Chen Dongxi woke up from her coma, the first person she saw was Yu Kangjing.
She was startled.
She then wiped away her tears and defended herself: "Uncle Yu, I didn't mean to leave the yard. I just wanted to pick some plum blossoms to make plum blossom wine for you."
After a moment of silence, Yu Kangjing said, "If that's the case, then let it go this time. Don't go out anymore, and there's no need to brew plum blossom wine."
"Yes. Xi'er understands." Chen Dongxi nodded quickly.
"I wonder how the young master who saved me is doing?" She couldn't help but inquire about Lu Lingzhao's situation.
She saw Lu Lingzhao jump down to save her and hug her before she fainted.
"Such a great favor, I truly don't know how to repay it. There's no way to repay this life-saving grace; perhaps the only way is to offer myself in gratitude..."
Yu Kangjing's face darkened: "Are you sure you want to repay me with your body?"
