capital girl

Chapter 147 Girls should protect themselves

Li Yulou looked at Meng Shiyu with emotion in his eyes.

"Okay, go to sleep..." Meng Shiyu patted her shoulder lightly and said.

"I'm still scared, you hug me to sleep...

"Li Yulou said softly.

"Well, okay..." Meng Shiyu agreed softly.

Meng Shiyu lay down with his arms around Li Yulou.She didn't know why she had such a dream, but it was so real.

On the second day, Li Yulou returned to Li's Mansion after dinner.

"Why did you come back at this hour, why did you run home instead of taking care of Shi Yu?" Zhang Xiulan asked when she saw Li Yulou.

"I am your daughter..." Li Yulou said.

"I know..." Zhang Xiulan said, "It is precisely because I know that you are my daughter that I say this to you. The water poured out by a married daughter, you are now our daughter, and even more so, your man's wife." , that will be your home from now on, you always run to your mother's house, what does Shi Yu think?"

Li Yulou didn't know what to say. He had a nightmare last night and was very worried about them. When he came back to have a look, he was going to be lectured like this.

"I'm going to talk to my father..." Li Yulou went to Li Xu's study.

Li Xu was writing, when he saw Li Yulou coming in, he put down the pen in his hand, and said with a smile, "The essay written by Shi Yu is really brilliant, it makes my father feel radiant..."

Li Yulou,...

Although she knew that her Shigu was very strong and fine, but when she was with her parents, she still wanted to hear that they cared about her.

"Father, how is your health recently? Are you tired of studying?" Li Yulou simply changed the subject.

"I can't be tired from studying. I'm not tired. Shi Yu is in the Metropolitan Procuratorate. The things he faces are more complicated and the situation is worse. You should pay more attention to him. Your cooking skills are average. You have to be a cook in the mansion. Keep an eye on..."

Li Yulou,...

"How is your health recently, are you fine?" Li Yulou was already on the verge of breaking out.

"Very good..." Li Xu smiled, "Father is still young... Shi Yu..."

"Father?" Li Yulou interrupted Li Xu's urge to post the words to Meng Siyu again, "Do you have any idea to go to the place to do practical work?"

"Why did you suddenly ask this..." Li Xu looked at Li Yulou unexpectedly and said.

"It seems there is!" Li Yulou stared at Li Xu and said.

"It's not that there is... It's just that Dad doesn't want to just study books for the rest of his life. If it can benefit one party, it's good, and then when he gets older and can't do it anymore, he can come back to study books..." Li Xu looked a little lonely.

"Have you told anyone about your thoughts? It's just your own thoughts..." Li Yulou's expression became serious.

"What's wrong with you, did something happen?" Li Xu asked seeing Li Yulou's expression changed.He knew that Li Yulou was not the kind of little girl who didn't understand anything.

She even knows more about these official affairs than Li Yukun.

"It's nothing, I'll ask." Li Yulou said.

"I complained while drinking with my colleagues..." Li Xu said, "Who would complain like this..."

Li Yulou hummed, and also understood that there is no man who does not have the feeling of saving the country and the people, and the ambition to do a great cause that shakes the world and weeps ghosts and gods.

But there are only a few people in this world who can achieve earth-shattering feats, and most of them are ordinary people who work hard.

"In the future, don't say such things anymore, and don't complain. You can study with peace of mind. My mother's career is now starting. When you leave the capital, she has to follow you... You can't let her abandon her family and career. Again, one cannot be so selfish." Li Yulou said.

Li Xu said angrily, "You also come to teach me a lesson..."

Li Yulou didn't provoke Li Xu any more, and said, "Anyway, father, you take my words to heart."

Li Xu wanted to hit someone with a book.

Li Yulou came out and asked Chuntao, "Is Yukun at home?"

"In..." Chuntao answered crisply, and then she was busy chatting with her little sister and eating melon seeds.

Li Yulou went to Li Yukun's room.

When Li Yulou came in, Li Yukun was painting his eyebrows.

Li Yulou,...

"Sister, why are you back?" Li Yulou turned his head to look at her, and then turned his face to the mirror.

There is really no one in this family who welcomes her back.

However, why did she still dream of them in her dreams? Worrying about them is really superfluous.

"You really want to be Princess Yuning's male favourite?" Li Yulou took a deep breath.

In her dream, her younger brother died at a young age. From this point of view, life is impermanent, so he can do whatever he wants.

Thinking of this, Li Yulou became calm.

"Who said that?" Li Yukun asked.

"It goes without saying, what are you doing, you can't see it yourself, how can a man do this?" Li Yulou said.

"You are being arbitrary and one-sided. Everyone has the love of beauty. Who said that men can't wear makeup... During the Wei and Jin Dynasties, men's makeup was very popular... It's just Confucianism that imprisoned our nature, Let men only know the ruler and minister..." Li Yukun said eloquently.

"Who taught you these..." Li Yulou asked.

"I know me myself, I just don't want to say it... Yuning understands me, so I will let go of my nature."

"In a few years, my face will not be what it is now, and I don't think it will be possible to be so beautiful."

Li Yulou,...

She didn't know how to refute Li Yukun's words.

"Does Princess Yuning really have a male favorite?" Li Yulou asked.

"No..." Li Yukun replied, "However, I don't think people like you will believe that you are as superficial as everyone else."

Li Yulou knew what she said, and Li Yukun might not be able to listen to it, because his thoughts had formed a system of their own, and it would be difficult to break it.

Li Yulou left Li Yukun's room and wanted to tell Zhang Xiulan about Li Yukun, but seeing that Zhang Xiulan was busy settling accounts, he didn't even look at her, so he had to give up.

Li Yulou was still a little restless, so he invited Zhou Ying to go to Lotte Temple to offer incense after a day.

"Why do you suddenly think of incense?" Zhou Ying asked.

Because Li Yulou generally doesn't believe in these things, she is a very determined person, and she believes in herself more than Buddhism and Taoism.

"I had a bad dream, I was always restless, and my whole body felt like my naked eyes were jumping..." Li Yulou frowned slightly.

"You won't have it!" Zhou Ying stared at Li Yulou's stomach in surprise.

Li Yulou,...

Her cheeks were slightly red, and she scolded Zhou Ying, "What nonsense..."

"Does this have anything to do with pregnancy?"

"Women will think a lot when they are pregnant... Pregnancy should be taken from the heart first, such as fetal dreams, and you will become uneasy. Why don't we go to the doctor first and then go to the temple." Zhou Ying suggested excitedly, as if It seemed that she was the one who might be pregnant.

Li Yulou was speechless, "No, go to the temple first, then..."

Zhou Ying smiled and agreed.

Getting off the carriage at the gate of Lotte Temple, Li Yulou looked at the gate of Lotte Temple with a sacred feeling.

Zhou Ying tugged on Li Yulou's lapel, "Yulou, look, the second young lady from Cheng Enhou's family..."

Li Yulou looked in the direction of Zhou Ying's finger, and sure enough, she saw the girl she and Zhou Ying saw in the teahouse last time.

"I'm not mistaken, she is the second lady of Cheng Enhou's family..." Zhou Ying looked at Li Yulou and asked.

"Hmm..." Li Yulou nodded.The second lady of Cheng Enhou's Mansion was wearing a beige skirt and accompanied by two maids.

"She's dressed so low-key," Zhou Ying said in a low voice, "Yulou, do you think she had a private meeting with King Yan here..."

Li Yulou,...

"What nonsense are you talking about? This is ruining the reputation of other girls... Isn't it normal to come to the temple to wear incense and wear something simple?" Li Yulou said.

"You said what she came to the temple for, wouldn't she still ask for marriage with King Yan!" Zhou Ying was still gossiping.

"Then who would know..." Li Yulou watched the woman walk inside with the maid.Her back is thin and haggard.

She thought of Zhou Ying saying that the lady had been crying for a long time because Cao Xiu was pregnant, and she felt absurd in her heart.

It's really ridiculous that there are women in this world who are so devoted to people like King Yan.

Li Yulou really had the urge to tell her not to be so infatuated with King Yan, in fact King Yan is far from as good as she imagined, and he is a scumbag.

But it's obviously presumptuous for her to go up and say such things to the other party rashly. If the other party can think about it, it's okay. If the other party can't think about it, her thoughts may be speculated by the other party at will. If it is spread, her reputation may be tarnished.

Although Li Yulou had such an impulse, he finally suppressed the emotions in his heart.

Li Yulou and Zhou Ying walked inside arm in arm.

The weather was a bit cold, Li Yulou gathered his cloak together.

"Brother Wu..." Zhou Ying's sharp and excited voice suddenly stimulated Li Yulou's ears.

Li Yulou always admired Zhou Ying's ability to see all directions and listen to all directions.

Li Yulou looked in the direction where Zhou Ying had already run, and saw a tall man standing under the sycamore tree, wearing the official uniform of the Ministry of Punishment, who apparently ran to find Zhou Ying before he came home.

Zhou Ying ran over and didn't care about anything else, and threw herself directly into Wu Que's arms.

Wu Que took another step back after being bumped by her, and then stabilized his figure. Obviously, Wu Que had underestimated Zhou Ying's excitement, completely ignoring the eyes of the people around him.

Wu Que glanced around, seeing many people looking at them, he was a little embarrassed, and wanted to push Zhou Ying away, but Zhou Ying wrapped her arms around Wu Que's waist and did not let go.

It was enough not to let go, she was still rubbing against Wu Que's arms, coquettishly, "Brother Wu, Brother Wu, I want to die, if you don't come back, I won't be able to live."

Li Yulou had already come to them, but after hearing Zhou Ying's daddy's fatherly words, he didn't know whether to stop or keep approaching.

Fortunately, Zhou Ying let go of Wu Que, shyly tidied up the messy clothes on her chest.

Li Yulou: This action is too tempting, after all, Zhou Ying's panda is not small.

Wu Que was obviously more embarrassed and looked away.

"Why did you suddenly come back and scare me? I was taken aback." Zhou Ying suddenly said fiercely to Wu Que with a straight face.

Zhou Ying's appearance at this time is completely different from before.

How can a person suddenly become different.

But Wu Que suddenly became cautious and docile.

"I went to look for you as soon as I came back, and came to see you when I heard that you came here." Wu Que replied obediently.

"How can I not report back to the yamen because I delayed my serious business?" Zhou Ying said.

"It's a false report, just go tomorrow..." Wu Que replied.

"You can't delay your business just because you miss me, that's not okay, you're a man..." Zhou Ying said.

Wu Que nodded and hummed softly.

Li Yulou,...

It's a weird relationship.

"Brother Wu, you are so kind..." Zhou Ying smiled sweetly, stretched out her hand to hold Wu Que's hand and said softly.

"Aying, you accompany Brother Wu, I'll go offer incense, see you later." Li Yulou said.

"Well, good..." Zhou Ying was obviously reluctant to part with Wu Que.

Li Yulou went to several halls to buy incense, kowtowed, and donated some sesame oil money. He didn't ask for anything in particular, he just wanted peace of mind.

Li Yulou was about to leave, feeling a little anxious, asked where the clean room was and took Chuntao to the direction of the clean room, when he suddenly saw a man hiding behind a bush and looking ahead, as if he was secretly looking at someone.

Li Yulou didn't bother her, and she didn't want to be troublesome, so she walked around the man slightly.

She quickened her pace a little, and saw a beige figure walking in front.

At a glance, she recognized the figure in front of her as the second lady of Cheng Enhou's mansion.

Without thinking too much, Li Yulou knew that the man behind was staring at the second lady.

The man in the back is probably a member of King Yan. Others don't have such guts. After all, he is the second lady of the Marquis of Cheng'en's mansion, and this kind of indecent means is very similar to what King Yan can use.

Li Yulou didn't hesitate too much, thinking about how to warn the second lady.

Although this second lady is a bit silly, but there is nothing wrong with liking someone, she is just blinded by her own emotions.

In any case, she was more pitiful than pathetic.

This is an entry room specially prepared for female guests, and the man still has some concerns if he wants to enter here.

Li Yulou saw the right opportunity, ran two steps quickly, stretched out his hand to grab the second lady's wrist, and dragged her to hide in a secluded place.

The second lady was obviously taken aback.

She opened her big eyes, looking at Li Yulou in surprise and timidity.

"you……"

"There is a man following you, do you know?" Li Yulou said.

The second lady wanted to poke her head out to look, but was stopped by Li Yulou.

"Don't poke your head and look at yourself, so that the other party will be alert."

"Who? Why did he follow me?" The second ladies had doubts about Li Yulou in their eyes.

Li Yulou felt that her doubts were understandable. After all, they didn't know each other. It was difficult for her to convince the other party when she made such a sudden move.

She doesn't ask the other party to believe her completely all at once, which is unrealistic.She just wanted to remind her that she couldn't make a decision for the other party as to what to do.

She does what she thinks she should do based on her conscience. As for the other party's choice, whether she chooses to believe her or not, and whether the final result is good or bad, she really has no way of deciding.

"I don't know about this either. But I saw a man staring at you from behind. Be careful. Where did your maid go?"

Li Yulou's solemnity seemed to make the other party a little bit alert.

"My clothes got wet, one went to help me find clothes in the carriage, and the other was taken away by a monk," she explained.

"There's something strange about it...you take this, just in case." Li Yulou said as he handed her a dagger.

The second lady was so frightened that the dagger almost fell to the ground.
