640 This Was Different From What She Had Imagined
Tu Lihuan raised his wine glass and kept drinking.
This was indeed just a romantic affair, but how could he marry Xiao Baili now that things had turned out this way?
With the fact that the Lu kid wanted to plot against Xiao Baili, the Xiao family would definitely be on guard.
The possibility of him wanting to make Xiao Baili his concubine had also decreased. How could he not be depressed?
The key was that the Lu family actually came to threaten him yesterday. His family had no choice but to arrange a marriage for him and Miss Lu.
He was really unhappy to marry such a woman as his wife.
In another private room, Miss Lu’s fiancé, Master Li, also heard the following words.
His expression was also extremely ugly.
No matter who it was, nobody would feel good about becoming the subject of gossip and ridicule.
Moreover, he did have some feelings for Miss Lu back then. Who would have thought that that woman would have an affair with Tu Lihuan?
He also kept drinking.
Then, he heard from his friend who had just entered that Tu Lihuan was in the private room next door.
Young Master Li suddenly stood up, “That bastard dared to snatch my woman, I won’t let him off.”
Hence, he led his men to kick open the door of the private room next to him.
Then, he grabbed Tu Lihuan, who was still drunk and punched him in the face.
Soon, the people in the two private rooms were fighting.
Young Master Li’s father was a general. He had been practicing martial arts since he was young and was currently working in the army.
The friends he invited for drinks were all martial artists.
As Tu Lihuan and the others were all scholars, they were all beaten up until they cried out in pain.
Tu Lihuan had one of his legs broken by Young Master Li.
They did not notice that there were a few people sitting in another private room. They were currently watching the show with their doors open.
Shi Qingluo, Xiao Baili, and Xi Rui had also heard that Master Li and Tu Lihuan were having a meal in a restaurant. They thought that there might be a good show to watch, so they came as well.
Sure enough, it was a good show.
Shi Qingluo chuckled, “With Tu Lihua’s legs broken, he and Master Lu have become unlikely brothers in misfortune.”
Xi Rui curled his lips. “Serves you right!”
He had wanted to find an excuse to beat Tu Lihuan up, but now he didn’t have to dirty his hands.
“I broke Tu Lihuan’s legs, will the Tu family cause trouble for me?” Xiao Baili asked.
Shi Qingluo said, “I don’t think so. At least not for the time being. After all, the Tu family was the first to be unkind.”
“Besides, the Tu family has had many things to worry about recently. How can they have the energy to care about anything else?”
King Yi and her little husband had both made a move. The Tu and Lu families would be greatly weakened.
The two families were originally loyal subordinates of Prince Jin, so it would be a stretch to expect Liang Mingyu to help them.
Soon, Tu Lihuan was carried to the clinic by the servants of the Tu family.
Young Master Li also sobered up and brought his friends away.
He even returned to the military camp that day, leaving the Tu family unable to do anything.
As for the military camp, the Tu family’s hands were still unable to interfere.
Tu Yujiao’s heart ached as she looked at her brother, whose face was pale from the pain.
He had also overheard the conversation between the Tu Family Head and the Butcher.
The Tu family was being suppressed by King Yi and Xiao Hanzheng, but Prince Liang did not help them and even stepped on them.
More than half of the business of all the Tu family’s wineries had been snatched away by Shi Qing’s winery, and their monthly income had decreased sharply.
Several incidents of counterfeiting money, land grabbing, oppressing the people, and forcibly taking women from the populace were also uncovered within the family, and the magistrate Xiao Hanzheng didn’t let them off the hook easily.
Those clans that had always wanted to drag the Tu Clan down took advantage of the situation.
In addition to the matter between her brother and Miss Lu, the Tu family’s reputation had been greatly tarnished.
Her parents were so busy right now that she felt very upset.
Tu Yujiao clenched her fists tightly. She believed that the reason why her family was like this was because they didn’t have enough power.
Once King Jin, whom they had relied on in the past, fell, their family was in trouble.
She took a deep breath. That was why she had to marry King Yi.
At that time, not only would she be rich and noble, her status would be honorable, and her family would continue to be glorious.
If King Yi married her, he would be forced to turn against Xiao Hanzheng and she was looking forward to that day.
So in the next few days, she went to try to meet King Yi again by chance.
King Yi would either see her helping stray dogs or giving porridge to the poor.
Liang Yulin wasn’t stupid. Seeing the same woman doing good deeds again and again. How could there be such a coincidence?
Besides Kong Yuelan, she had never paid attention to other women.
Therefore, they didn’t recognize that she was the young lady of the Tu family. They only found out her identity after they checked.
He also found some clues, which proved that Tu Yujiao was looking for an opportunity to seduce him and make him marry her.
Liang Yulin was speechless. Did he look that stupid? He would be played by a woman.
After being single for so many years, he had met many women who wanted to marry into the Imperial Residence.
Tu Yujiao’s tricks were nothing compared to some of the noble ladies in the capital.
He treated it as a joke and did not take it to heart.
Two days later, Liang Yulin escorted the Northern King, the previous princess, and the others to the capital.
Two hours after leaving the city, the road ahead was blocked.
The people around Liang Yulin tensed up, fearing that it might be a trap set by the remaining forces of the former dynasty or the state of Ge.
The reason why Liang Yulin had waited until today to set off was also to make proper arrangements and wait for the most elite secret guards to arrive in the northern city.
Otherwise, if the Northern King was rescued by the Ge Kingdom’s people on the way, many plans would not be able to be implemented.
Thus, his personal attendant rode forward to inquire.
Soon, the personal attendant returned.
“Your Highness, Miss Tu’s carriage broke down on the road and was blocked by a group of refugees.”
“There are a few refugees who want to take her as their wife.”
His personal attendant was also speechless. He didn’t expect this to happen.
He didn’t even need to investigate to know that it must have been the Tu family’s young lady who did it.
After all, their lord was famous for enjoying helping others and bringing joy to them.
Liang Yulin’s expression was a little cold. He had an important task on his side, but Tu Yujiao was here to cause trouble.
“Although Tu Yujiao might be behind this, those refugees might not have been arranged by her. It’s better to be careful.”
“Don’t worry about it. Just leave.”
Would he save her just because she wants him to? Haha.
Hence, King Yi’s men walked to that area. However, the guards appeared and asked the refugees to make way for the Tu family to move the carriage.
He did not care about the refugees trying to snatch the young ladies of the aristocratic families.
Tu Yujiao, who was sitting in the carriage and holding a handkerchief nervously, was stunned when she heard King Yi’s guard’s order. She was obviously very surprised.
Didn’t King Yi always like to lend a helping hand when he saw injustice?
Shouldn’t he have gotten someone to rescue her from the group of refugees and send her home?
She took the opportunity to say that she wanted to go to the capital and insisted on following him.
However, he just ordered the refugees to clear the way and to move her carriage aside, without even intervening in the conflict where the refugees were forcibly taking the young ladies from noble families?
This was different from what she had imagined!
Or did he not know that these people wanted to snatch her away?
