The man in black only held up his hands and said, "Master Zhu, it's getting late, and the villain's identity is ominous, and he has just committed a major incident. In order not to implicate the adults, it is best for the villain to leave quickly."

Seeing that the man in black was so knowledgeable, Zhu Zanxun just said, "Since you are so cautious, I won't keep you any longer. This is your reward!"

After saying this, Zhu Zanxun only motioned to the people around him to hand over the bag of rewards to the man in black.

The man in black took the reward without looking at it. Then he only thanked Zhu Zanxun, "Thank you, sir. If you have any other troubles in the future, you can come to me directly in Stone Valley!"

After the words fell, the man in black also left from here.

After Zhu Zanxun watched the man leave, he was ready to get up and go back to the house.

Unexpectedly, at this moment, someone hurriedly came to the door and said, "Mr. Zhu, there is a woman who claims to be your wife waiting for you outside. Do you want to let her in?"

Hearing this, Zhu Zanxun speculated that the person coming was probably the so-called Miss Lu family.

But she came at the right time, and he said with a stern face, "Let her in!"

After hearing Zhu Zanxun's words, the waiter soon let Shen Fanghui in.

When Shen Fanghui walked into the elegant room named Lan, she felt as if she had fallen into a big furnace.

The scorching fire seemed to devour her completely.

When Zhu Zanxun saw her coming in, he just smiled slightly, "Fanghui, are you here? You haven't eaten yet? Do you want to eat together?"

Faced with Zhu Zanxun's invitation, Shen Fanghui actually wanted to refuse. It was a really hot day. He was still lighting a charcoal fire in the house. He felt unbearably hot just standing at the door. If he walked in to have a meal like this, he would not be safe. It's summer.

However, the other party's invitation was so enthusiastic that it would not be good if he refused.

Moreover, he will be her husband from now on, and the two of them will inevitably live together. If I can't accommodate this today, what will I do in the future?

After thinking so much, Shen Fanghui never thought that she could refuse the other party.

Therefore, when Zhu Zanxun invited him, she even pretended not to care in order to consider Zhu Zanxun's mood, even though it was obviously too hot.

She smiled slightly and said "Okay!"

After saying this, she walked in gracefully, and then she even just sat down next to Zhu Zanxun.

Zhu Zanxun took a look and it seemed that she and the two maids were the only ones coming, so Zhu Zanxun seemed to have a deeper meaning and asked, "Didn't Nanny Li come here with you?"

It was naturally impossible for Shen Fanghui to say that Grandma Li was still looking for her dowry, so she didn't come over.

So she just shook her head.

When Zhu Zanxun heard this, he just said, "Then you and I will have dinner together. After we eat, we will be on our way."

Hearing Zhu Zanxun's words, Shen Fanghui smiled and nodded.

At this time, her heart was still full of expectations for her future life. She fantasized about becoming an official's wife and how she and Zhu Zanxun would be on equal footing.

But such beautiful fantasies cannot withstand the current heat.

And Zhu Zanxun didn't know what was wrong with him. When the stove was lit at his feet, he actually ordered the Gudong pot.

Looking at the ingredients tumbling in the pot, Shen Fanghui couldn't help but wipe the sweat from her forehead with her hands.

It’s so hot today!

However, Zhu Zanxun still looked like a caring gentleman. He looked at Shen Fanghui who only dared to pick out the small ingredients on the edge, and he couldn't help but smile and put a piece of cooked meat into Shen Fanghui's bowl with his chopsticks.

"Fanghui, eat more meat, don't just eat raw and cold things."

Looking at the meat slices that had just come out of the pot, Shen Fanghui could almost imagine the steam on the meat slices.

And now she was so hot that she felt a little uncomfortable.

But her many years of experience in that hibiscus garden made her learn to be obedient. Anyway, she had never encountered anything more cruel than this.

She didn't like it when she was a child

She liked to learn music, chess, calligraphy and painting, so Yapo would hang herself upside down in the room and be beaten, and she was often not allowed to eat for a whole day.

Although in order to prevent them from leaving long-lasting and indelible scars, they are actually very clever. They always know how to make you feel the maximum pain while leaving the smallest scars.

Nowadays, eating hot pot in the sweltering heat is nothing more than a punishment.

So thinking of those bright futures, Shen Fanghui just decided to continue to endure it. She said to Zhu Zanxun with a happy face, "Thank you, husband."

After saying this, she just ate the food with a normal expression.

However, even though she acted so calmly and naturally, the smile on Zhu Zanxun's face disappeared.

Seeing Zhu Zanxun looking at her without smiling, Shen Fanghui couldn't help but feel a little uneasy.

This Zhu Zanxun is really insidious, his smile is still a bit charming, but now he doesn't smile, it's more like the black and white impermanence of the underworld.

However, she felt uneasy in her heart, but she still pretended to have nothing on her face, "Husband, why are you looking at me like this?"

Hearing her words, Zhu Zanxun just said, "Aren't you hot? I see you are sweating profusely."

Upon hearing what he said, Shen Fanghui couldn't help but feel much calmer.

"I'm not hot! How can I be hot if I can be with you?" Shen Fanghui's words were somewhat flattering.

Zhu Zanxun seemed to have accepted her flattery. There was only a faint smile on Zhu Zanxun's face at the moment.

He praised, "Fang Hui is really different from other ladies. She doesn't have the squeamishness they have at all."

Shen Fanghui heard this and immediately whispered, "Thank you for the compliment."

However, as soon as she finished speaking, her whole body suddenly fell back.

If the maid behind her hadn't quickly held her up, she might have made an embarrassing hole in her head if she fell straight down like this.

After the maid supported her, she quickly pinched her body, but even so, Shen Fanghui did not wake up.

A maid looked at Zhu Zanxun uneasily and said, "Master Zhu, my lady seems to have suffered from heatstroke. Can we go out?"

Facing the maid's inquiry, Zhu Zanxun no longer felt as refreshed as he had at first.

He didn't pay attention to the maid's words. Instead, he looked at the maid as if he was interrogating her and said, "What is your lady's last name and who is she?"

Facing Zhu Zanxun's words, the two maids had no choice but to patiently reply in a low voice, "Our young lady's name is Lu Fanghui, and she is Mr. Lu's distant cousin."

However, after hearing this, Zhu Zanxun fiddled with the ring in his hand without any reaction.

Seeing the other party fiddling with her fingers, one of the maids couldn't help but look up at Zhu Zanxun and said, "Sir, we have answered everything that needs to be answered. Can we take the young lady out of here now?"

However, when faced with the maid's question, Zhu Zanxun gave a negative answer without hesitation.

"You must have all answered. I don't like people lying. You'd better tell me honestly, otherwise I won't have the patience."

Upon hearing this, the maid still didn't know what she said wrong, but the other maid who had remained silent heard the other person's implication.

Therefore, she immediately crawled to Zhu Zanxun's side, and she only said to him, "Mr. Zhu! In fact, we don't know much about Miss Lu's identity."

Upon hearing this, Zhu Zanxun couldn't help but look down at the other party, "What do you mean?"

The maid then immediately whispered, "We were also selected to serve Miss Lu on the way. When we arrived here, Miss Lu was already there. Then Grandma Li said she was Miss Lu, so we took it as her." Miss Lu is taking care of her, so we actually don’t know if she is Miss Lu.”

After hearing this maid's clever words, Zhu Zanxun said, "Then help her out."

After receiving Zhu Zanxun's order, the two maids, who also felt that they were about to faint from the heat, immediately stood up, and they

He quickly pushed Shen Fanghui out.

After Shen Fanghui was pushed out, she felt relaxed for a moment.

But she still couldn't wake up.

I don't know how much time has passed in my daze.

And when Shen Fanghui opened her eyes again, they were already on the carriage.

The carriage seemed to be traveling on a very difficult road. Shen Fanghui only felt a jolt underneath her body.

She opened her eyes and looked blankly at the two maids around her. The two maids looked like they were hesitant to speak at this moment.

She couldn't help but ask, "Do you have anything to say to me?"

Facing Shen Fanghui's inquiry, the two maids only shook their heads quickly, and then they looked around.

Guided by their gazes, Shen Fanghui saw clearly that the place she was in now was very bad.

Only some debris-like things were seen stacked around the carriage. They were teetering, as if they would fall down and crush themselves to death at any moment.

And what she was lying on was just a hard bench. No wonder she felt pain all over her body as soon as she woke up.

It had been years since she slept on such a hard bench.

Moreover, only maids would live in such a pile of debris. I am the future Mrs. Zhu, so why am I staying in such a place now.

Thinking of this, she couldn't help but look at her two maids. However, the two maids looked scared at the same time, and they only waved their hands towards her, as if they were afraid of something.

Seeing their strange appearance, Shen Fanghui naturally didn't bother to communicate with them any more.

She then just opened the curtain directly, and after the curtain was opened, Shen Fanghui discovered that they were already moving forward, and this was already a mountain road.

Although she didn't know where the mountain road was, she thought they must have left Leiyang City.

For a moment, she felt a little melancholy in her heart.

But now is not the time to feel sad about spring and autumn, so after she opened the curtain, she couldn't help but said to the people following her, "Brother, why am I here? Where is my husband?"
