Chapter 272 Make it clear
Lu Zhiran looked at her sister's back as she left, feeling mixed emotions. She knew her sister had a strong character and attached great importance to the family's reputation, so she was extremely sensitive to any behavior that might damage the family's reputation. However, this unwarranted accusation and misunderstanding made her feel extremely wronged and painful.
She turned around and sat on the bed, clasping her hands tightly, trying to calm her inner fluctuations. At this time, Fu Yuzhang walked in, and seeing that Lu Zhiran's face was not right, he immediately asked with concern: "Zhiran, what's wrong? Did your sister come just now? What did she say?"
Lu Zhiran looked up at Fu Yuzhang, tears flashing in her eyes. She nodded gently and told him exactly what had happened. After hearing this, Fu Yuzhang frowned and his face became serious.
He walked to Lu Zhiran, gently held her hand, and comforted her: "Zhiran, I believe you. There is no improper relationship between you and Mu Qizong. I know this very well. Your sister may have misunderstood. I will find a chance to explain it to her."
When Lu Zhiran heard Fu Yuzhang's words, a warm current surged in her heart. She knew that Fu Yuzhang was her strongest backer, and no matter what difficulties and misunderstandings she faced, he would stand by her side, support her and protect her.
She leaned gently in Fu Yuzhang's arms, feeling his warm embrace and firm support. She knew that as long as Fu Yuzhang was there, she would have the courage to face all difficulties and challenges.
After a while, Lu Zhiran's emotions gradually calmed down. She raised her head and looked at Fu Yuzhang's determined eyes, her heart full of gratitude and trust. She said softly: "Yuzhang, thank you. I believe you can help me explain all this clearly."
Fu Yuzhang smiled and nodded, knowing that he had a great responsibility. He not only had to protect Lu Zhiran from any harm, but also to maintain their love and family harmony. He took a deep breath and prepared to meet the challenges and difficulties that lay ahead.
The night was dim, and the moonlight shone through the sparse clouds, sprinkling mottled light in the quiet courtyard. In this quiet night, Lu Zhiran's heart was like being burned by fire, full of anger and grievance. She finally made up her mind to ask Mu Qizong out and scold him severely, so that he would know that she would never bother him again.
Lu Zhiran, 28 years old, was born with a beautiful face. Her eyebrows were like a crescent moon, and her eyes were deep, as if hiding the sea of stars. Her lips were red, her face was like a peach blossom, and her fresh and refined temperament was intoxicating. However, at this moment, she no longer had the gentleness and smile of the past, but was replaced by a face full of determination and resoluteness.
She was wearing a light and elegant dress, which looked even more graceful under the moonlight. She gently pushed open the door, stepped on the moonlight, and slowly walked towards Mu Qizong who had been waiting for a long time in the courtyard. Every step she took seemed so firm, as if she wanted to gather all the grievances and anger under her feet.
Mu Qizong was originally Lu Zhiran's brother-in-law, but since he had developed feelings for Lu Zhiran, the relationship between the two became delicate. He was tall and handsome, but at the moment he looked a little haggard. When he saw Lu Zhiran coming, a complex emotion flashed in his eyes, but he soon regained his composure.
"You're finally here." Mu Qizon's voice was a little hoarse, as if he had been waiting for a long time.
Lu Zhiran did not answer, but just looked at him coldly. Her eyes were full of anger and disappointment, as if she wanted to pour all her emotions into this moment.
"Why are you so cruel?" Mu Qizong finally couldn't help but ask, "I'm sincere to you, but you're so cold."
"Sincerely?" Lu Zhiran sneered, "Does your sincerity mean that you keep pestering me and making me restless?" Her voice was full of sarcasm and disdain, "I tell you, I have never had any improper thoughts about you. What you do only makes me feel sick and disgusted!"
Mu Qizong was shocked by Lu Zhiran's words and took a few steps back. He never thought that Lu Zhiran would reject him so directly. His face turned pale and a trace of panic flashed in his eyes.
"You...how can you say that?" He stammered, "I...I just like you too much..."
"Like?" Lu Zhiran sneered again, "Does your liking make me miserable? I tell you, I never needed your liking. Your entanglement will only make me hate you even more!"
Mu Qizong was completely defeated by Lu Zhiran's words. He stood there blankly, as if he had lost all his strength. He never thought that his sincerity would result in such a result.
"Go away." Lu Zhiran said calmly, "I don't want to see you again. If you still have any self-awareness, please don't appear in front of me again."
Lu Zhiran's voice became more and more excited, and her emotions became more and more out of control. She turned around and wanted to leave, but accidentally stepped on the slippery moss by the lake, lost her balance, and fell backwards.
"Be careful!" Mu Qizong exclaimed, and rushed forward quickly, trying to catch Lu Zhiran. However, he was still a step too slow, and Lu Zhiran had already fallen into the lake.
With a "plop" sound, the lake water splashed everywhere. Mu Qizong did not hesitate and immediately jumped into the lake and swam towards Lu Zhiran. He grabbed Lu Zhiran's hand tightly and pulled her to the shore.
After a struggle, the two finally returned to the shore safely. Lu Zhiran lay on the grass, gasping for breath, her face pale. Mu Qizong knelt beside her, nervously checking her injuries.
"How are you? Are you hurt?" There was a slight tremor in Mu Qizon's voice.
Lu Zhiran did not answer, but looked at him coldly. The previous anger and disdain were gone from her eyes, replaced by a hint of complicated emotions. She knew that Mu Qizong had just saved her life, and she had to acknowledge this favor.
"Thank you." Lu Zhiran finally spoke, his voice a little weak.
Mu Qizong smiled bitterly when he heard this. He knew that the dispute between him and Lu Zhiran was far from over. However, he also understood that no matter what the future held, he would never let Lu Zhiran suffer any harm again.
The moonlight was dim, and in the courtyard of the old house, the shadow of an old locust tree swayed, as if whispering an ancient secret. Mu Qizong stood in the moonlight, dressed in green, graceful, but at this moment his eyes were full of anger and unwillingness.
Lu Zhiran, wearing a lavender dress, was like a violet bud about to bloom, fresh and refined. Her eyes were as clear as a spring, but with determination and unyielding. Facing Mu Qizong's anger, she did not back down, but just frowned slightly, as if thinking about how to respond.
