Chapter 33: Chapter 33: Zhou Shuyan naturally grasped Lu Youxi’s hand in return. Chapter 33: Chapter 33: Zhou Shuyan naturally grasped Lu Youxi’s hand in return. People turned their heads towards the source of the sound and saw Lu Youxi standing side by side with Zhou Shuyan, smiling yet not smiling, but their gazes were full of clear mockery.

Although the villagers liked to gossip, it was inevitably awkward to be caught gossiping directly by the subjects themselves.

Without needing Lu Youxi to say anything, the crowd watching the excitement spontaneously made way for Lu Youxi and Zhou Shuyan.

Yet, everyone couldn’t help but let their eyes wander back and forth to the faces of Lu Youxi and Zhou Shuyan, their eyes filled with barely hidden curiosity.

These two having returned together seemed to confirm the village rumors were true.

Under everyone’s gaze, Lu Youxi directly grabbed Zhou Shuyan’s hand and led him towards the Lu Family’s main gate.

Someone in the crowd gasped loudly first, loud enough for everyone to hear.

But right after, sounds of surprised gasps came from all around Lu Youxi and Zhou Shuyan.

But who was Zhou Shuyan anyway!

The head of the Imperial Capital Zhou Family, he wouldn’t care about such a small scene.

In her past life, Lu Youxi had also been used to grand scenes and naturally wouldn’t be affected.

Zhou Shuyan naturally grasped Lu Youxi’s hand back, exerting a slight force.

Lu Youxi turned around in surprise to look at him, his grip was firm and heavy but did not hurt her, it simply made her feel his determination.

It was as if no matter what difficulties were there, he would be by her side to face them together.

The steadiness of his grip was comforting, making her already calm heart feel even more settled.

Lu Youxi was just surprised, surprised that Zhou Shuyan would do such a thing, and even more surprised that Zhou Shuyan could give her such a reassuring sense.

All of Lu Youxi’s surprise was observed by Zhou Shuyan, who then hooked his lips towards Lu Youxi, “Let’s go.”

Lu Youxi nodded, and finally, she and Zhou Shuyan crossed the crowd and entered the Lu Family’s courtyard.

The gossiping voices outside seemed to be blocked by the courtyard gate.

In replacement, there were laughter and talking voices coming from the house ahead.

A strange woman’s voice came out, “You can rest assured, once Youxi is part of our family, I will definitely treat her like my own daughter. I can only be grateful that she is willing to marry my son, and I will treat her just as well as I treat my own son. As long as she makes my son happy, I don’t need her to do anything, whether it’s chores inside or outside, my husband and I can handle them.”

“You are a good person, we, of course, believe you,” Old Madam Lu said cheerfully.

It was hard to imagine hearing such a welcoming tone from Old Madam Lu’s mouth one day.

“Our Youxi is also a diligent person; she helps with all the big and small tasks at home and outside. You have a kind heart and treat her well, how could she possibly not do anything? She will definitely become a reliable helper in your household,” Ge Guifen added.

“Yes, you and Guifen are on such good terms, I always hear Guifen praising how dependable your household is,” Lu Zhenjia’s voice came through, “We are very relieved to have Youxi join your family.”

Inside the house, Lu Family’s elders, Lu Zhenjia and his wife, along with Foolish Hu and his wife all burst out laughing.

Suddenly, there was an atmosphere of joy filling the room.

At this moment, including Lu Youxi, no one knew that in a small room inside the Lu Family’s courtyard, Lu Youxue was in the room, his face flushed red with fury, his eyes bloodshot with desperation.

But he was powerless to do anything, tied to a chair with a large cloth stuffed into his mouth.

Lu Youzhen, on the other hand, was guarding nearby, seeing Lu Youxue’s desperate look like a trapped beast, she curled her lips proudly, her gaze filled with undisguised mockery.

“It’s no use, once the two families finalize everything and the Hu Family sends the bride price, just wait for your sister to marry Foolish Hu,” Lu Youzhen boastfully paced in front of Lu Youxue.

“Mmmhm—Mmm!” Lu Youxue couldn’t speak, his mouth gagged with the cloth, filled with anger and desperation, he could only make muffled sounds.

“I told you it’s no use,” Lu Youzhen, taking pleasure in his misfortune, cradled her chin while speaking to Lu Youxue, “This is something the grandparents have agreed upon, no one’s opposition counts once they’ve decided. Your uncle is obedient, and your aunt never disagrees with the household matters, your sister is definitely marrying Foolish Hu.”

“What use is there in getting into Jing University? If you can’t go, it equals nothing!” Lu Youzhen said proudly.

Thinking of the days when Lu Youxi was proud and pleased after passing the examination for Jing University, Lu Youzhen now felt extremely delighted!

Lu Youxi was only happy for that short period.

From now on, her life will plunge into darkness, without a glimmer of future!

What’s the use of being beautiful?

What’s the use of being academically excellent? She still has to marry a fool!

“Mmmhm!” Lu Youxue, like a small trapped beast, was so agitated he desperately tried to rush forward.

Perhaps out of sheer desperation, he managed to stand up a little and dragged the chair forward.

Lu Youzhen was startled, not expecting the little runt to have so much strength.

Frightened, she hurriedly pulled the chair back, pressing hard on the back of the chair.

Usually, Lu Youzhen’s strength might not match Lu Youxue’s, but now that Lu Youxue was tied to the chair and couldn’t exert his strength, he was immobilized by Lu Youzhen.

In the courtyard, as Lu Youxi was about to enter the house with Zhou Shuyan, suddenly a figure hurriedly dashed past by her side.

Lu Youxi only caught a fleeting glimpse, not clearly seeing who it was.

But as the person passed by her side, she smelled the familiar scent of earth on him.

Although she hadn’t seen the person’s face clearly, Lu Youxi already knew that the one who had just run past was Lu Zhenguo.

As Lu Zhenguo entered the house, Liu Yushu, because she was running slowly, hurried over huffing and puffing.

She saw Lu Youxi, stopped in surprise, opened her mouth as if to say something, then noticed Zhou Shuyan standing next to Lu Youxi.

Liu Yushu was utterly stunned, “You two…”

She knew about the village gossip, but she trusted her daughter to be a self-respecting person, how could she casually fool around with someone?

Even if there really was love, it would be an official and open relationship.

However, despite it being a relationship, Liu Yushu still had reservations about Zhou Shuyan.

After all, Zhou Shuyan’s background was unclear; he didn’t even know who he was, currently only helping Grandma Xu and without a proper job.

How could she feel reassured about her daughter being with Zhou Shuyan?

As for the village gossip, Liu Yushu scoffed at it.

Until just now when she heard from the informant, Xiao Lin from next door, about the plans of Lu Family’s elders and Lu Zhenjia’s family, an idea arose in Liu Yushu’s mind; rather than marrying Foolish Hu, it would be better for Lu Youxi to be with Zhou Shuyan.

But this thought flashed by quickly, and Liu Yushu even shook her head, wondering why she would think such a thing.

Lu Youxi wasn’t marrying anyone; she was supposed to go study at Jing University.

And there she was seeing Lu Youxi standing with Zhou Shuyan.
