Глава 75

"Why pretend to be stupid, Young Master Jianyue?" He Yunya stretched out her slender fingers and picked up a small piece of pastry from the pastry box, smiling as she said, "Aren't you suspecting that either Tong Lei or my brother is Miss Zhao Yu's sweetheart?"

Kiyomi Tsuki was taken aback. "Who are you?"

He Yunya glanced at her with her eyes and smiled sweetly, "My surname is He, and my given name is Yunya. As my name suggests, I am an elegant and beautiful woman."

Kiyomi Tsuki frowned deeply.

“Young Master Jianyue, I’ve been waiting for you here for a long time, just to tell you something.” He Yunya’s expression turned serious. “As soon as Tong Lei arrived, he asked Madam to marry Miss Zhao Yu to him. Madam Tong also pleaded with you for a long time about this matter. Although you didn’t agree, you didn’t refuse either.”

Kiyoshi was furious. "That bastard, let him go to hell!" Then, she asked suspiciously, "Why are you telling me all this?"

"Of course, it's for my poor brother." He Yunya said, half-seriously and half-pityingly, "Young Master Jianyue, since you won't marry Miss Zhao Yu, why can't you grant her and my brother's wish?"

Kiyomi Tsuki snorted, thinking to herself: This woman acts like she knows everything, she's really annoying.

"Young Master Jianyue? Young Master Jianyue?" Huang Chong's voice called from afar, and the white fox cried out loudly, as if answering on behalf of its master.

He Yunya brought the pastry to her red lips, took a bite, chewed it carefully, and praised, "The taste is not bad. Miss Xu's cooking skills are indeed excellent. If it weren't for fear of Xu Lan, how could Tong Lei be willing to let go of such a beautiful woman as Miss Xu?"

Huang Chong arrived quickly and said happily, "Young Master Yue, the Lord of the Fortress wants you to come over quickly."

Without a word, Kiyomi Tsuki leaped up and followed Huang Chong. The white fox let out a reluctant cry for the beauty, and then quickly followed its master.

He Yunya gave a soft snort, and a sharp, cold glint flashed in her deep, dark eyes.

The men, women, and children of Lu Family Fort lined the streets to welcome the victorious warriors, and the entire fortress erupted in cheers. Lu Qingcheng presided over the ceremony of awarding prizes in the main council hall. Qing Jianyue stood beside Lu Qingcheng, carefully observing He Zhiqiang. He Zhiqiang was even darker now, as black as a gleaming lump of charcoal, but this did not detract from his appearance in the slightest. He stood tall and straight, dressed in a well-tailored warrior's uniform with a cloak, a long sword at his waist, and his hair tied back. When Lei Yongxiang praised him, his eyes filled with joy, and his face beamed with a kind and shy smile.

Qing Jianyue thought to herself: This kind of person is so pleasant to look at. Miss Zhao Yu certainly has good taste; she didn't misjudge him. When Lu Qingcheng called out He Zhiqiang's name, Qing Jianyue immediately looked at Tong Lei. Tong Lei stared at He Zhiqiang with venomous eyes, and perhaps because he hated him so much, his thin lips were pursed even tighter into a line. Qing Jianyue couldn't help but chuckle to herself, thinking: If this kid knew that Miss Zhao Yu was marrying me, I wonder how pursed his lips would look then?

Those who deserved rewards were rewarded, and those who deserved punishments were punished. After a round of awards, it seemed Lu Qingcheng had forgotten about Qing Jianyue, but notably omitted her. Just as the merit-recognition ceremony was drawing to a close, Madam Lu suddenly spoke, "My son, why did everyone else receive a reward, but Qing Jianyue did not? Did my son forget about her?"

Lu Qingcheng glanced at her mother strangely and said calmly, "Jianyue will receive another reward, so Mother doesn't need to worry."

Madam Lu shook her head and said, "No. Since my son has rewarded Jianyue, he should do so publicly. Jianyue, come here for a moment."

Qing Jianyue looked at Lu Qingcheng, who frowned slightly before nodding. Helpless, Qing Jianyue stepped forward, smiling broadly, and said, "Thank you for your kindness, Madam. In truth, the Lord of the Fortress has already rewarded me. Although I have rendered a small service, it is nothing compared to the lords and managers present. Therefore, I dare not accept any further reward."

Madam Lu smiled and said, "I didn't expect Jian Yue to have such a humble side. I would feel uneasy if I didn't reward you handsomely. How about this, I will take charge and marry Miss Zhao Yu to you. The wedding will be set for three days from now, and all expenses will be covered by our manor."

As soon as she finished speaking, the entire council chamber fell silent, and hundreds of sharp eyes were fixed on Qing Jianyue. Strangely, while they looked at Qing Jianyue, she looked at He Zhiqiang and Tong Lei.

He Zhiqiang was very surprised. Tong Lei sneered.

Kiyomi Tsuki thought to herself: Something's not right. Why aren't either of them showing any sign of wanting to draw their swords and fight me? Aren't they jealous? That's so embarrassing.

Madam Lu said with a smile, "Qing Jianyue, you don't need to worry about not being able to support your wife after you get married. After you and Miss Zhao get married, your master will naturally reward you with a steward position."

Qing Jian Yue was filled with inexplicable confusion and didn't know what to do. He couldn't help but look at Lu Qing Cheng, only to find that Lu Qing Cheng was also looking at him with a look of amusement. Not only him, but Qing Feng and Cai Zhong He also had expressions that said, "What are you going to do about this?" Suddenly, Qing Jian Yue felt both amused and exasperated.

"Kiyomizuki, why don't you answer me?"

Madam Lu's displeased questioning voice came through.

Kiyoshi Tsuki cursed inwardly: "Damn it, why are you asking? You know, I know, everyone knows, there's only one answer: I don't want to."

He wasn't forced to utter a single word, so Madam Tong couldn't help but speak up for him.

"Big sister, look at this boy, he looks so unwilling. He's really the kind of unlucky guy who won't listen to reason and will only suffer the consequences. Besides, I don't think he's a good match for Miss Zhao at all. My Lei'er is the real catch..."

Qing Jianyue's heart skipped a beat as he recalled He Yunya's words in the back garden of Yixin Garden two hours earlier. He made a quick decision, immediately kneeling on one knee and smiling, "I would be more than happy to marry Miss Zhao Yu."

This answer shocked everyone present.

He Zhiqiang's imposing body shuddered violently, and his eyes instantly went dull. Tong Lei gritted his teeth, almost ready to jump out and snap his thin neck.

Madam Lu was overjoyed. "Good, very good! Seeing the moon is indeed delightful. Manager Su, what do you think?"

Su Haibo stepped forward, smiling broadly, and said, "It's all up to you, Madam."

Kiyomi Tsuki thought to herself: In this situation, I have no choice but to agree. Sigh, people are so deceitful. They know I'm lying, and he's lying, yet they still go along with the lie.

"Alright, let's do it this way," Madam Lu said with a smile. "My son, what do you say?"

"Let's adjourn the meeting." Lu Qingcheng's eyes were deep and cold.

"Then let's adjourn the meeting." Madam Lu stood up. "Qingcheng, accompany your mother back to Yixin Garden."

Lu Qingcheng, supported by her mother, descended the steps. Qing Jianyue knelt on one knee, not daring to raise her head. Her black cotton robe fluttered past, and Lu Qingcheng's black boots passed over Qing Jianyue's hand on the ground, gradually moving further and further away.

Kiyomi Tsuki let out a long sigh, thinking to herself: The Lord of the Fortress must be thinking right now that Kiyomi Tsuki has been a complete liar from beginning to end. But what can I do? A person can't live without lying.

A white fur robe suddenly fluttered by, and a foot lifted, the white boot lightly touching Qing Jianyue's forehead. He leaned back and looked up. Qingfeng was looking at him, a mischievous and sly smile flashing in her long, upturned eyes. Soon, Cai Zhonghe came over and helped Qing Jianyue up from the ground.

"Jianyue, are you getting married?"

Kiyomi Tsuki felt a chill run down her spine.

"Do you know how to consummate your marriage? Do you want your brother to teach you?"

"I don't need you to teach me, I already know how to consummate the marriage." Qing Jianyue stomped her foot in anger.

"Do you know how to consummate the marriage?" Qingfeng asked, very curious.

Enraged, Kiyomi blurted out, "So what if we're holding hands and sleeping in the same bed?"

"Oh, lovely Jian Yue, let's hold hands and sleep in the same bed!" Qing Feng and Cai Zhonghe grabbed Qing Jian Yue's hands, one on each side, laughing heartily. So much fun! So much fun!

"Let me go. You idiot. No, I don't want to hold hands and sleep in the same bed with you."
