Kiyomi Tsuki and His Fox

Chapter 77

Kiyomi Tsuki was completely bewildered.

After Lu Qingcheng slowly stopped laughing, she said breathlessly, "Of course I was just joking with you. Jian Yue, the ever-changing expressions on your face are really hilarious."

Kiyomi Tsuki breathed a huge sigh of relief, thinking to herself: He was just joking with me after all.

A knock sounded at the door, and Zhang Zhichun reported, "Master, the Madam requests your presence at Yixin Garden."

Kiyomi Tsuki immediately brought him a cloak and handed it to him.

Lu Qingcheng took it and said, "You don't need to go." Qing Jianyue looked bewildered. Lu Qingcheng smiled sadly and said, "I don't want to hear you sighing and complaining, and I don't want to see you looking so upset in front of those people."

Qing Jian Yue suddenly realized and laughed heartily, "The Lord of the Fortress is still the best. But what about the Madam?"

“That wicked woman,” Lu Qingcheng said with disgust. “If it weren’t for her, none of this would have happened. With me backing you up, you don’t need to be afraid.”

Kiyoshi thought to himself: Referring to his own mother as that woman shows how much he hates Madam Lu. Thinking this, he asked again, "Has the lord already spoken to Su Haibo?"

“Don’t worry, I’ve already spoken with Su Haibo.” Lu Qingcheng put on her cloak. “You just need to protect Miss Zhao, you don’t need to worry about anything else.”

"Yes, ma'am." Kiyomi Tsuki answered loudly, smiling with her eyes narrowed like an innocent child.

Lu Qingcheng glanced at it greedily for a moment, then immediately turned her face away and said stiffly, "Go to the courtyard to change your clothes, and then you can go directly to the banquet."

As the banquet approached, guests arrived from all directions. The stewards and managers of Lu Family Fortress brought their wives and daughters, creating a buzzing, noisy atmosphere in the banquet hall. The men were there to see the beautiful women, while the women, especially the unmarried girls, were eager to see them. Needless to say, the handsome and imposing lord of Lu Family Fortress, along with five young lords and a senior steward, were all unmarried, and this was a golden opportunity they couldn't afford to miss.

Lei Yongxiang, embracing his stunningly beautiful wife, entered the banquet hall led by servants. Their arrival silenced the buzzing of the other bees, who turned their attention to Yang Xueli, the former and still the most beautiful woman in Lu Family Fortress, like burning candles. Lei Yongxiang's thick, dark eyebrows furrowed even more tightly. He held his wife tightly, his imposing presence as terrifying as that of Xiang Yu, the Hegemon-King of Chu.

At this moment, Cai Bo'an arrived, supporting his wife and accompanying his sister-in-law, while Su Haibo arrived, embracing his wife and accompanying his sister-in-law. Yang Xueli was overjoyed, breaking free from her husband's iron grip and pulling Zhou Yanhua close, speaking intimately to her. The women gathered together, creating a vibrant and beautiful scene, like a garden in spring, each vying for attention and captivating all who beheld them.

The gatekeeper's announcement rang out again, and Qingfeng and Cai Zhonghe entered, followed by the two young lords, Li Anguo and Liu Xicheng, whom they had met along the way. The hall fell silent instantly, an unusual silence that made even the five grown men uneasy. They stopped in their tracks, their hearts pounding, each looking completely at a loss for what to do.

Suddenly, no one knows who started it, but the supervisors, deacons, or their wives, along with their unmarried daughters, launched a swarm attack, leaving the four grown men completely disoriented and disoriented.

Bai Yiting entered with his apprentice and daughter, and was stunned by the sight before him. It took a long while before Du Fangchuan finally spoke.

"Master, what are they doing?"

"What are you doing? Can't you see?" Bai Yiting suppressed a laugh. "If you weren't engaged, you probably wouldn't have escaped being attacked and killed either."

"Brother Fangwei is mine." The white rabbit hugged her fiancé's arm tightly, her cute eyes wide open, and she gave a murderous warning, as if anyone who dared to come near would be kicked.

Du Fangwei laughed, pulled his beloved fiancée, whom he had cherished since childhood, into his arms, stroked her rosy cheeks, and whispered sweet nothings in her ear. Bai Yiting smiled slightly, leaving the young couple lingering, and went to greet Cai Bo'an, Su Haibo, and Lei Yongxiang. Etiquette was important.

The four grown men grew increasingly impatient; the anger simmering within them was like a boiling pot, scalding hot, yet those people still refused to back down, continuing to add fuel to the fire. Just as the gunpowder was about to explode, the gatekeeper's announcement was like a bucket of rain falling from the sky, extinguishing the five men's rage.

"The lady has arrived, the lord of the fortress has arrived."

Look, these managers, deacons, or their wives pulling their daughters along, in the blink of an eye, they're standing obediently in their places, awaiting the arrival of their supreme masters. The five grown men, finally freed, easily walk to their seats to wait.

Strangely, neither Madam Lu nor Lord Lu were present at the entrance of the hall, which puzzled everyone. Suddenly, the white fox, wagging its beautiful tail, strolled in leisurely. When it reached the center of the hall, it gracefully squatted down, raised its head, and let out a proud howl.

People were extremely surprised, and then burst into laughter that echoed through the sky.

Familiar, joyful laughter came from outside the hall. Kiyomi Tsuki rushed in, beaming with happiness, her whole body radiating a brilliant light. She laughed innocently and playfully, "I'm here, I'm here!"

Qingfeng greeted him with a beaming smile, "You little rascal, so it was you who was causing trouble."

Kiyoshi Tsuki shouted, "What? If it weren't for me, you would have been ravaged and ruined, and you wouldn't be as beautiful as you are now. Hurry up and thank me."

Cai Zhonghe laughed and said, "Our Jianyue is the smartest. Since ancient times, it has always been heroes who save beauties. Today, Jianyue is the beauty who saves the hero. To express his gratitude, the hero gives the lovely Jianyue a hero's kiss."

Qing Jian Yue forcefully pushed his face away, avoiding his wolfish kiss. "Girls, do you want to choose a son-in-law? I'll teach you a good method. Go home and make a few more embroidered balls. When you see someone you like, throw them at them hard. Not only will you not kill them, but you can also make them yours."

The unmarried girls blushed and hid behind their parents. The supervisors, deacons, or their wives smiled sheepishly.

Liu Xicheng grinned foolishly, "Young Master Jianyue is still the best. I almost lost control and wanted to punch someone just now."

Li Anguo remained silent, smiling faintly.

After punching away Cai Zhonghe's harassment, Qing Jianyue ran to Lei Yongxiang, clapping and jumping around him: "Brother Lei, when you get married, you'll be accompanied by music and fanfare as you enter the bridal chamber."

Lei Yongxiang was both angry and amused. "Idiot, what nonsense are you singing?"

Kiyomi Tsuki made a face and asked, "Where's Sherry?"

"Jianyue, I'm here."

Yang Xueli and Zhou Yanhua walked gracefully towards each other.

Kiyomi Tsuki exclaimed happily, "Wow, two beauties! Let me hug them! Haha, I'm so lucky!"

Yang Xueli and Zhou Yanhua really did walk right into his trap, running into his open arms.

"No way!" Lei Yongxiang pulled his wife into his arms and supported Zhou Yanhua, who was about to fall, with his other hand. He roared, "Jianyue, if you dare to be naughty again, I'll beat you up!"

Kiyomi Tsuki stuck out her tongue and said, "Hmph, why are you so jealous? If you won't let me hug you, then don't."

Liu Xicheng was so shocked that his eyes almost popped out of his head and bounced around several times. "He, he, he actually dared to play around with Lord Lei San. Does he not want to live?"

When Li Anguo's gaze fell on Zhou Yanhua, the smile on his face suddenly froze.

Her beautiful face, alluring eyes, elegant smile, and slender figure—the one I'd longed for for six years—were still the same, unchanged. She'd returned. She really had returned. I heard she'd married, but remained a widow. Was it truly true that beautiful women often have tragic fates?

"Brother Lei's wife won't let me hug her, so I'll just hug my own wife. Honey, did you miss me?"

Kiyoshitsuki wasn't embarrassed at all and turned to run towards Zhao Yu. Zhao Yu was laughing so hard he didn't know what to do, and caught off guard, he was suddenly grabbed by the waist and spun around rapidly. Amidst joyful laughter, his snow-white cloak and bright red skirt fluttered in the air.

Zhao Yu screamed in fright, "Jian Yue, put me down! You bad guy, I'm angry! No, I'm dizzy!"
