Koi Fleeing Famine: I Picked Up a Chief Assistant as a Husband

Chapter 30 The Marriage Covenant
Ruo Shiyu smiled apologetically, "I came here to buy pastries. Recently, Ms. Lu didn't go to the city to sell pastries, so I came here."

After her words fell, Cui'er was about to open her mouth to say something, but when she saw Ruo Shiyu's eyes, she just stepped aside respectfully, lowering her eyes and waiting quietly.

Third Aunt Lu rolled her eyes, and said casually: "Miss, I don't know, Nanzhi went to the woods with my servants a few days ago and didn't come back overnight."

"Sure enough, she is a shameless woman." Tweety muttered softly.

Third Aunt Lu pretended to be embarrassed, and Ruo Shiyu sternly scolded: "What does this lady teach you in the mansion? If you dare to chew your tongue, this lady will pull out your tongue."

"I know my mistake." Cui'er knew that the young lady was really angry this time, so she hurriedly bowed her head and admitted her mistake.

"I'll spare you this time, if there is another time, I will definitely not spare you." Ruo Shiyu looked coldly, and looked at Third Aunt Lu with a cold expression.

Although Third Aunt Lu was not smart, she understood the meaning of the lady's words, her face instantly became embarrassed, and she raised her finger to the kitchen not far away.

"Nan Zhi, you should be in the kitchen at this time. Miss Ruo please!"

"Thank you." Ruo Shiyu bowed politely, walked past her with cold eyes.

Third Aunt Lu looked at the departing person, her face became ugly, she didn't expect Lu Nanzhi to have such a rich friend, it was really infuriating!

Wearing coarse clothes, Lu Nanzhi was busy in the kitchen, and did not see Ruo Shiyu standing outside the door.

When she finished everything and was about to turn around and leave, she looked up and saw someone walking in.

"Miss Ruo? Why are you here?" Lu Nanzhi was surprised by the sudden appearance, and hurriedly put something in his hand.

"I haven't seen you in the city for a few days. I thought something happened to you, so I came here to have a look." Ruo Shiyu never expected that they would live in a small village outside the capital.

The village not far away is full of people who have fled from the famine. It is said that they have no place to live, so they built houses here.

"Let's talk in the house." Lu Nanzhi turned around and stayed there. Ruo Shiyu left the kitchen and came to her room.

Ruo Shiyu looked at the humble house and couldn't help frowning: "Is this where you usually live?"

Lu Nanzhi nodded with a smile: "It's a bit crude, but I hope Miss Ruo doesn't mind."

Ruo Shiyu gave her a complicated look, then took out a piece of silver from her sleeve and put it on the table: "I want to order more pastries from you, this is the deposit."

Lu Nanzhi quickly shied away: "How can this be done, I can't accept this money."

Lu Nanzhi didn't know her thoughts, but she never needed others' charity.

Ruo Shiyu's eyes flickered, then he stuffed the money back and smiled softly: "I was too abrupt."

The two chatted in the room for a long time, and Ruo Siyu saw that he was safe and sound, so he got up and left. Before leaving, he happened to meet Shen Lanze who had just returned from work.

Seeing that his forehead was covered with sweat and his body was covered with dust, Lu Nanzhi felt distressed when she saw it, and quickly took out a silk handkerchief and handed it over, "Wipe the sweat off your forehead."

This reminded her of what the woman had just said.

If the guess is correct, the slave she is talking about is the Shen Lanze in front of her. The once proud son of heaven has now become a slave who can be bullied by anyone at will. What a humiliation it is to him. recognize each other.

Shen Lanze raised his eyes, a trace of surprise flashed across his eyes, as if he didn't expect her to appear here, he shook his head and said, "Thank you for your kindness, miss, but I don't need it."

"Why don't you recognize me? If it's because of your status, I'll go and tell Miss Lu, how much she paid to buy you, and I'll give her double in exchange for your freedom."

Ruo Shiyu really couldn't bear him to continue living such a hard life, and wanted to give him a free body, wanted him to return to the capital, and stand proudly in front of everyone again.

"It's not because of my status. I'm used to this kind of life. I don't want to mention the past."

Ruo Shiyu frowned even more when she heard the words, "What about me? Between us..."

"The engagement between us has been voided. When I left, I had asked someone to deliver the token to the house." Shen Lanze interrupted her indifferently.

If Shiyu heard this, her eyes revealed a sad look, "I know you broke the engagement because you were afraid of hurting my family, I can wait, I have been waiting, I..."

Shen Lanze shook his head and interrupted her, with a firm and decisive tone, "You don't need to wait, the marriage between us has been annulled, and marriage between men and women has nothing to do with each other."

"Could it be possible that you have forgotten the friendship between us? The poem you gave me, I will embroider it on an embroidered handkerchief and keep it with me at all times."

Ruo Shiyu didn't understand why Shen Lanze was so indifferent to him now that they had so many good memories.

They grew up together as childhood sweethearts, so it's possible that this friendship can be erased by time.

Shen Lanze's eyes darkened when he heard the words, and he was silent for a moment before opening his mouth slowly.

"The former genius Shen Lanze is dead, and now Shen Lanze is a slave. I hope that Miss Ruo will cherish it in the future and don't disturb my life. Also, your brother took that poem away, I didn't give it to you. I have no other thoughts, only my sister's friendship."

Hearing this explanation, Ruo Shiyu's eyes were red and her voice was choked up: "In this case, why did you agree to such a marriage at the beginning?"

"At the beginning, I didn't know about the marriage contract with you. I thought it was just a joke between my parents. When I found out, my family was in trouble, so I deliberately asked someone to return the token. I also made it clear in the letter."

A look of guilt appeared in Shen Lanze's eyes. If he had known earlier, he would have asked his parents to dissolve the engagement earlier.

Ruo Shiyu bit her lip, tears slid down her cheeks, she turned around and quickly ran out the door.

Lu Nanzhi leaned against the door, looked at the dramatic scene in front of her, lowered her eyes, wondering why she felt a little uncomfortable.

"Everyone's fiancées are coming to your door. It seems that you have no chance. They say that they would rather demolish ten temples than one marriage." Lu Qinghe said eccentrically.

If she can't get something, no one else can get it.

Lu Nanzhi glanced at her lightly, then raised his foot and prepared to leave.

How could Lu Qinghe let go of such a good opportunity, so he was naturally making fun of it.

"Lu Nanzhi, do you still want to keep pestering me? Shameless." Lu Qinghe snorted coldly.

Lu Nanzhi paused, turned his head and glanced at her indifferently, "This is between us, what does it have to do with you."

Lu Qinghe laughed provocatively, looking like he was enjoying the show, "It's not like you can compare whether she is a talented man or a beautiful girl, or a childhood sweetheart."

"Are you talking about yourself? If you can't eat grapes, you say grapes are sour." Lu Nanzhi narrowed his eyes slightly, and looked at Lu Qinghe with his arms crossed.

Shen Lanze came in front of the two, looked at Lu Nanzhi with flickering eyes, and opened his mouth to explain what happened just now.
