"Zhuqing, what kind of person do you think Auntie is?" Lu Yuan softly asked as he gently hugged Zhu Zhuqing.
"Mother? She's a very nice person. She's kind-hearted, amiable, considerate, and reasonable … "
"Stop!" Hearing Zhu Zhuqing's string of adjectives, Lu Yuan quickly shouted to stop.
"What's wrong, Obuchi? Am I wrong?" Seeing Lu Yuan shout to stop, Zhu Zhuqing looked at Lu Yuan with some dissatisfaction. Her mother was such a good person. Could it be that Lu Yuan had a different opinion?
Seeing the dissatisfaction on Zhu Zhuqing's face, Lu Yuan bitterly smiled. It seemed that Lin Xiyue was really a perfect person in Zhu Zhuqing's heart.
"Obuchi, what are you bitterly smiling for? Answer me. Is there anything wrong with what I said? Do you not agree? "Zhu Zhuqing asked.
"No, I agree. Auntie is indeed a very good person. I don't know about others, but she is definitely very good to you. I think your personality might be partly influenced by Auntie, right? Zhuqing, "Lu Yuan softly asked.
Hearing this, Zhu Zhuqing nodded.
Her cold appearance was formed from staying in a dark environment since she was young, but her kindness and stubbornness were learned from Lin Xiyue.
After all, Lin Xiyue was her mother and the only person who loved her since she was young. Naturally, she would unconsciously rely on Lin Xiyue and imitate and learn Lin Xiyue's characteristics. Over time, she developed her unique personality.
"But since you agree, why did you interrupt me just now?" Looking at Lu Yuan, Zhu Zhuqing was somewhat puzzled.
Lu Yuan smiled and said, "I interrupted you not because I think Auntie is not a good person, but because I want to talk about something else."
"What is it?" Zhu Zhuqing asked.
"Zhuqing, don't you think Auntie is actually a very smart woman? She is much more intelligent than your father," Lu Yuan gently said.
"Why do you say that?" There was a trace of doubt in Zhu Zhuqing's eyes. Why did Lu Yuan suddenly say that?
"Oh, it seems like you still haven't realized it. Fine, I'll explain it to you slowly." Lu Yuan said slowly as he held Zhu Zhuqing …
.....
"Xiyue, why didn't you make that brat Lu Yuan stay today? Do you know that my scalp goes numb whenever I see him? That brat is a true god of death."
Zhu Junlin looked at Lin Xiyue in a room in the Duke's Mansion. His eyes were full of doubt, as if he did not understand why Lin Xiyue would do such a thing.
"Look at you. You're scared to this extent?" Lin Xiyue drank her tea and couldn't help but glare at Zhu Junlin. There was a trace of mockery in her tone.
"Scared by someone? Xiyue, I almost lost my life today. You don't know how terrifying the auras of those two Titled Douluo were, and how intense their killing intent was. How could I not be afraid? This brat really dared to kill. He didn't look like he was lying. "
Zhu Junlin immediately retorted after hearing Lin Xiyue's words.
"He was just scaring you. With Zhuqing around, he couldn't do anything to you no matter what. However, this brat's acting was indeed very realistic. I was a little shocked at that time. It's no wonder you were deceived." Lin Xiyue said.
"What? You're saying that he was deceiving me? That he was deliberately scaring me? Then why didn't you say it during the day? "Zhu Junlin questioned.
"What's the point of saying it? Lu Yuan has made up his mind to break off the engagement. No matter how much you struggle, you have to accept it in the end. That's because the Dragon King's Palace is strong, and our Duke's Mansion is weak. Furthermore, he really likes Zhuqing, and Zhuqing likes him too. Zhuqing can at least find her own happiness if she follows him. "
Lin Xiyue said plainly.
"You're right." Hearing this, Zhu Junlin sighed softly. If Lu Yuan wanted to break off the engagement, with the powerful force behind him, even if they didn't agree now, they would agree one day. There was no room for rejection.
"Then why did you keep him?" Zhu Junlin asked again.
"Stupid. Since you've already agreed to break off the engagement, why don't you seize the opportunity to build a good relationship with your future son-in-law?"
"This is the Dragon King's Palace. It's a soul master force on the continent that's second only to the Martial Soul Palace. They have at least six Titled Douluo, and there's even an Ultimate Douluo like the Dragon Emperor Douluo. With the help of the Dragon King's Palace, won't our Zhu family's reputation be greatly boosted?"
"We're already one of the three great families of the Star Luo Empire. We have great political and military power. However, we don't have much status in the world of soul masters."
"Now that we've become in-laws with the Dragon King's Palace, we'll have the opportunity to increase our influence in the world of soul masters. Other things aside, with the support of the Dragon King's Palace, who in the Seonra Empire will dare to provoke our Zhu family?"
"Other things aside, let's just talk about the other two great families. Will they dare to be enemies with our Zhu family?"
"Of course not. But what about the imperial family of the Star Luo Empire?"
Zhu Junlin was still a little worried.
"We don't have to worry about the imperial family of the Star Luo Empire. Look at Lu Yuan's extravagance. He brought four powerful Titled Douluo with him. Do you think he's just pressuring you?"
Lin Xiyue rolled her eyes at Zhu Junlin. Her tone was indifferent.
"Are you saying that Lu Yuan is already prepared to deal with the imperial family of the Star Luo Empire?" Zhu Junlin was a little surprised.
"Of course. According to my observations today, this kid is an extremely smart person. He likes to plan before acting. He must have made sufficient preparations. The imperial family of the Star Luo Empire can't do anything to him."
"Once the imperial family of the Star Luo Empire suffers, they'll naturally be obedient."
"Furthermore, just as Lu Yuan said, the imperial family of the Star Luo Empire won't do anything to us because of the Netherworld White Tiger. They can't leave us at all. At most, they'll criticize us and punish us casually."
"Such insignificant punishments can be exchanged for a connection with the Dragon King Hall. Do you think it's worth it?"
Lin Xiyue asked.
"Of course it's worth it," Zhu Junlin said.
"So, this is one of the reasons why I let him stay. It's to build a better relationship with Lu Yuan. Let's not talk about other things. At least let him call you father-in-law."
Lin Xiyue said.
"Call me father-in-law? I'm afraid that's a little difficult. That kid's attitude towards me is very bad, "Zhu Junlin said.
"You asked for this. Who asked you to ignore Zhuqing in the past and let her suffer? The Netherworld Family's damned ancestral law is simply bullshit. It caused my two daughters to kill each other. As a mother, I'm also very tormented. I can only watch helplessly."
