Traveling to ancient times, with space

Chapter 165 Misunderstanding

This question was like a thunderclap, instantly exposing the guilty consciences of Shen Lerong and Lu Liang.

Their ears turned bright red at a visible speed, like ripe apples.

Su Yue, standing to the side, seemed to have already seen through everything, but deliberately didn't reveal it.

She smiled slightly, glancing at the two incredibly embarrassed figures behind her, before turning around gracefully and walking ahead with light steps.

At that moment, she was secretly pleased with herself: Hmph, you two were laughing at me just now! Let's see if you can still laugh now.

However, to be fair, this young man surnamed Lu is quite bold, and he also has a good eye for talent.

Among so many women, he was able to spot the most outstanding and beautiful girl in the Star-Picking Tower at a glance—Shen Lerong.

Looking at Lu Liang's handsome face, he could be considered a good match for Shen Lerong.

However, we still need to observe Lu Liang carefully and examine his character more thoroughly.

Thinking of this, Su Yue couldn't help but frown, feeling that it was necessary to give more instructions and education to everyone in the Star-Picking Tower.

We absolutely cannot let those clueless young men from outside steal our good girl away again.

And so, Su Yue pondered all the way to the archway of the courtyard.

She stopped, turned around, looked at the two people whose faces were still flushed, and said, "Le Rong, since you're alright, then see Lord Lu out!"

Before she could finish speaking, Shen Lerong opened her mouth as if she wanted to say something, but Su Yue didn't give her the chance at all. She turned her head and strode into the courtyard.

For a moment, only Lu Liang and Shen Lerong remained standing there, their eyes meeting, creating a somewhat subtle and awkward atmosphere.

Meanwhile, Su Yue had already returned to the courtyard.

She carefully placed the pitiful little chubby dog, which was tightly protecting its strawberry, back into its warm and comfortable little nest.

Then, he slowly walked to the stone bench in the center of the courtyard and sat down, quietly waiting for Shen Lerong to return.

Qiaoyun walked out of the house in a hurry, carrying a pot of steaming tea steadily in her hand.

Meanwhile, Dali, who had been engrossed in reading, put down his book and ran towards Su Yue like a gust of wind, pressing himself close to her.

Su Yue took a sip of tea and then instructed, "Qiaoyun, quickly call Qiaoxiang, Qiaoxia, and Chuntao over as well. We'll have a meeting later."

"Huh? A meeting? What kind of meeting?" Dali looked up blankly and blinked at Su Yue.

Qiaoyun didn't understand either, but she was very obedient and immediately ran to call for help.

When Shen Lerong returned from outside, she saw a group of people sitting around the stone table in the courtyard, seemingly waiting for her.

Feeling embarrassed, she went back to her room. Her face instantly turned bright red, so red it looked like it might bleed at any moment.

She lowered her head slightly, her gaze flickering, and fidgeted nervously with the hem of her dress. Finally, she walked hesitantly and reluctantly toward the stone bench.

As she approached, she raised her head, looking at the other person timidly with her large, watery eyes, her lips trembling slightly.

He stammered as he tried to explain, "I...I...that...that with Lord Lu..." But the words seemed to be stuck in his throat, and he couldn't get them out clearly.

Su Yue, who was standing to the side, saw everything. Looking at Shen Lerong's shy and embarrassed appearance, she couldn't help but guess that she might also have feelings for Lu Liang.

So Su Yue didn't intend to make things difficult for her. Instead, she reached out and grabbed Shen Lerong, gently pulling her to sit on the chair next to her.

He then asked, "Oh dear, why are you so nervous? Stop stuttering! Tell me, what exactly is your relationship with Lu Liang now?"

Unexpectedly, these words made Shen Lerong, who was already flustered, even more anxious and uneasy.

Her face was deathly pale, and her body was trembling uncontrollably. She thought Su Yue was angry because of this.

In a panic, she didn't even dare to sit on the stool anymore and knelt straight down on the ground with a "thump".

Tears streamed down her face like a burst dam. Through her teary eyes, she looked up at Su Yue and sobbed, "Lord Lu and I really have nothing between us! Please, Immortal Envoy, don't blame him!"

Seeing Shen Lerong's reaction, Su Yue was first stunned, and then a nameless fire welled up in her heart.

She couldn't understand why Shen Lerong was acting this way. Did she think of her as someone who was unreasonable and could punish others at will?

Thinking of this, Su Yue frowned and her tone became stiff: "How could you think that way? When have I ever blamed you?"

Even if you and Lu Liang are truly in love, you can just tell me openly. Do you think I would interfere?

"Shen Lerong, oh Shen Lerong, that's enough, you should go back to your room and rest!"

After saying that, Su Yue waved her hand, a look of disappointment on her face.

At this moment, Su Yue felt extremely bored. What was supposed to be a pleasant inquiry had turned into this situation, which was truly disappointing.

Shen Lerong realized she had said the wrong thing and grabbed Su Yue, who was about to get up and leave: "I was wrong, please don't be angry with Lerong, okay?"

Su Yue looked at Shen Lerong, who was pretending to be as pitiful as Little Fatty, and sat down again to listen to her continue talking.

"There really isn't anything special between me and Lord Lu, that's absolutely true!"

Today he came to me saying he wanted to give me a gift to express his gratitude for my help in building the Star-Picking Tower some time ago.

Moreover, I've already made Zhaixinglou my home.

Lord Lu is indeed a very good person; he is kind-hearted and gentle.

However, I have already sworn to serve you wholeheartedly for the rest of my life. How could I dare to delay Lord Lu?

As Shen Lerong spoke softly, she blinked her wet eyes, her gaze filled with sincerity and sorrow.

Hearing this, Su Yue suddenly realized: So that's how it is!

No wonder Shen Lerong said those things before; it turns out she mistakenly thought that as long as she stayed to work in the Star-Picking Tower, she would never be able to get married and start a family again.

Thinking of this, Su Yue couldn't help but fall into deep thought. Upon careful reflection, she realized that she had never said anything against them marrying into other families!

It seems that Shen Lerong is overthinking things!

Besides, Zhaixinglou is not a nunnery, and no one stipulates that one cannot get married there.

"Le Rong, since you consider Zhaixing Tower your home, then we are all your family. If you also like Lu Liang, whether you marry him or not, we all hope you will be happy."

And I never said you couldn't get married. There's no such rule here.
