Chapter 221 Arrogance
The next morning, just as Zhu Yu had expected, Zhu Jie and Zhu Feng had already prepared to set off to inspect the canal construction. This time, it seemed that they were serious about it. They did not just go and take a look and come back like Zhu Cheng did before. Instead, they mobilized some manpower and prepared carriages with tents and other things. It seemed that they really intended to supervise the construction seriously.

"Is it safe for us to follow him for so long?" Zhu Yu asked Lu Qing. She was worried that Pang Shi would do something in the mansion that would go against Zhu Cheng's arrangements.

"Just follow me without worry. I'll stay here." Yan Daoxin waved at Zhu Yu and Lu Qing, "Oh, and leave the talisman with me. With us two here, you can rest assured. Nothing will happen."

Upon hearing this suggestion, Zhu Yu gave Yan Daoxin a look, leaned over and whispered in his ear that Miao had lost her fertility after drinking just one dose of medicine.

Yan Daoxin was shocked: "It's common for a medicine to cause an abortion, but it's rare to see such a vicious medicine that can completely block a person's future.

No wonder when I took your mother's pulse that day, I saw signs of a broken pulse. I thought it was because the woman was old, which was not surprising. I didn't expect it to be such a cause and effect!

So you want me to help your mother take care of her body so that she can... Oh, that's not right, at her age, she shouldn't be able to give birth to another boy or girl, right?"

"What are you thinking about?" Zhu Yu glared at him, not knowing whether to laugh or cry, "I just hope you can find an opportunity to show it to my father.

There can be some that are extremely urgent, but there may also be some that are silent and slow."

"You're right, it's indeed possible." Yan Daoxin had originally decided to stay for the sake of the overall situation, but after hearing what Zhu Yu said, he immediately became interested, "I see that your father looks pretty good. If there really is something... it would be quite interesting!
Okay, you two don't have to worry about anything else, just go and get busy with what you need to do!"

Lu Qing and Zhu Yu took Fu Wen with them to get their horses, and went to the front to meet Zhu Jie and Zhu Feng who were about to set off.

Zhu Jie and Zhu Feng were both ready and about to get on the horse. The two brothers did not communicate much, and the atmosphere seemed a little subtle.

Seeing the other three people coming over, they were both stunned for a moment. Zhu Jie's eyes swept across Lu Qing's face, and he didn't seem to take his brother-in-law, King Xiaoyao, seriously. However, when his eyes fell on Zhu Yu, he looked her up and down, and frowned.

Zhu Yu was just like she did every time she went out with Lu Qing. She tied her chest and wore a neat men's suit. She didn't have any fake skin on her face. Lu Qing used the same trick again and painted her complexion a little darker and yellower, and made her eyebrows a little thicker, making her look like a slightly thin young man.

This kind of dress was commonplace for Lu Qing and Fu Wen, but it was the first time for the brothers Zhu Jie and Zhu Feng.

In the past, the two of them were not very familiar with this half-sister. Not to mention Zhu Yu, even their biological sister Zhu Ning, the two brothers did not have many opportunities to interact.

After all, according to their father's ideas, a good man would not hang out with women all day long.

Now they were a little surprised to see Zhu Ning had turned into a young man.

Zhu Feng was fine. After a brief moment of surprise, he regained his composure.

Zhu Jie was different. After being surprised, his face quickly changed to one of disgust: "What are you doing?"

"Big Brother, Second Brother, good morning." Zhu Yu was dressed in men's clothing, so it was not convenient for her to perform the female ritual. She clasped her fists towards the two of them and said, "My husband was the one who initiated the canal construction, and we want to do our part. I think you two brothers are planning to go there as well, so why don't we go together?"

Zhu Yu's words were very clever. She didn't hesitate to greet and show courtesy when on someone else's territory, but she also made it clear - this matter was facilitated by Lu Qing, and Lu Qing was the biggest contributor. Therefore, if Lu Qing wanted to participate in this matter, he didn't need to obtain anyone's consent. Now he asked, but he was just asking if they wanted to go together.

Zhu Jie and Zhu Feng were not ignorant people who did not understand what others said. As soon as they heard what Zhu Yu said, they understood what she meant.

Zhu Jie glanced at Zhu Yu again, his eyes full of arrogance: "A woman should act like a woman and go where women should go.

Dressing like androgynous and showing off everywhere, what a shame!
You can go with whoever is not afraid of being embarrassed."

After saying that, he snorted, got on his horse first, said a word and rode out. A group of people immediately started and followed him, while the rest of the people did not move, apparently waiting for Zhu Feng.

Zhu Feng probably didn't expect Zhu Jie to be so ruthless, even too harsh. He smiled awkwardly at Lu Qing, then looked at Zhu Yu and said, "Second sister looks quite heroic in this outfit. If she were a man, I guess half of the matchmakers in the capital would come running to our house.

If you don't mind, come with me.

Last night, my eldest brother and I discussed that he would take people to the Black Stone Mountain area to supervise the work, and I would take people to the Sunrise Ridge area.

In this way, by starting construction at both ends and digging towards the middle, the canal can pass through the driest and most water-scarce area of ​​the entire Shuodi, and finally flow into the Niuer River in the east.

In this way, if we start construction at both ends and connect the central area, the canal will be completed, which will achieve twice the result with half the effort. It can also avoid the embarrassment of having to divert water from Jin State while our canal is not yet completed.

But the journey to Sunrise Ridge is quite long, and the road isn't as easy to walk on as that to Blackrock Mountain. I wonder if my second sister can handle it?"

Sunrise Ridge is located at the easternmost part of Shuo Country, with many mountain roads. It is not only difficult to walk, but also much more difficult to excavate than the Black Stone Mountain area.

Lu Qing and Zhu Yu exchanged glances and gained a new understanding of Zhu Jie.

"It's fine with me. If you don't mind it being embarrassing to travel with me, then we can be companions. Otherwise, it's okay for the three of us to travel alone." Zhu Yu answered quite straightforwardly.

Her frank and nonchalant attitude made Zhu Feng feel even more embarrassed. He quickly said, "That's just my elder brother's personality. He's a bit harsh...but..."

He paused, seemingly unable to find the right turn of events. He smiled sheepishly and changed the subject: "Since Second Sister and the Prince are not afraid of hard work, then I'm also happy to have someone to accompany me on the road. Let's go together!"
