Liu Siyue saw him, ignored him, and walked away. Lu Yunzhou immediately told his classmates, "Brother Yan, Brother Hu, I suddenly have something to take care of, so I can't stay with you today. I'll treat you another day."

After Lu Yunzhou finished speaking, he jogged after him, coughing incessantly as he ran, and he was even having trouble breathing. He didn't know what was wrong; his cough had gotten worse recently. Although he wasn't coughing all the time, once he started, it was hard to stop, and his throat felt like it was being scraped by a knife.

He had visited several clinics in the county town, and they all said there was nothing wrong with him and that he just needed to take some lung-nourishing medicine.

The fortune teller once said that as long as he married Liu and consummated the marriage, his illness would be completely cured.

But he still had a lingering unease. To his surprise, he saw Zhou Xiangxing with Liu Shi today, whom he had been searching for for a long time in the county town. This made him even more certain that the person was Zhou Xiangxing.

Lu Yunzhou stood at the entrance of Shili Xiang Restaurant, calmed himself down, straightened his clothes, and stepped inside.

"Young master, how many people are you dining with? Will you be in a private room on the second floor, or in the main hall?"

"He's alone in the lobby." He's waiting for them to come out so he can see where they live.

Lu Yunzhou ordered two dishes and kept an eye on the stairwell while eating. About half an hour later, Liu Siyue and the others came downstairs and left the restaurant chatting and laughing.

After leaving the Shili Xiang Restaurant, Manager Jiang parted ways with them. Liu Siyue and the others hadn't gone far when they discovered that someone was following them.

"Chenxin, someone is following us. Don't look back, keep walking forward, and just pretend we didn't see him."

"In April, do you think it might be Lu Yunzhou? He just saw us at the entrance of Zuixianlou."

Liu Siyue suddenly realized that she had completely forgotten about the matter.

"It's highly likely that Lu Yunzhou is following us. It seems he wants to know where we are."

"Jinsi, you go back first. Madam Yun and I still have some things to take care of."

"Yes, Master. Master and Madam Yun should be careful and return home as soon as possible."

Jin Si left with a bag of clothes. Liu Siyue took Yun Chenxin's hand and walked into an alley. Once inside, the two hid in the doorway of a house.

Lu Yunzhou caught up, panting. It was an alleyway; they lived there, but Lu Yunzhou didn't know which house they lived in. She searched house by house, trying to find something, when suddenly she heard someone speaking behind her.

Are you looking for me?

The sudden question startled Lu Yunzhou. He slowly turned around and saw Liu Siyue and Zhou Xiangxing standing behind him.

"Liu, it turns out that you hid your sister-in-law after the divorce. I divorced you, but you still hold a grudge and encouraged her to divorce, leaving Wenxuan and Xinning without a mother and care."

Liu, I, Lu Yunzhou, have done everything I could for you, so why did you do this?

Sister-in-law, I know my brother is wrong, but the two children are innocent. I hope you can go back and see them.

I'm determined to pass this year's provincial examination. Once I become a scholar, I'll bring you back home. What is that widow Wang? I only acknowledge you as my sister-in-law.

With Liu Siyue present, Yun Chenxin immediately became bolder. "Madam Liu, could this be your ex-husband, the shameless scoundrel who abandoned his wife and daughters? He even dared to lay a hand on your sister-in-law. He is utterly morally depraved. How can such a person be worthy of being a disciple of a saint? He should be bedridden forever."

Last time you stopped me in the street, I thought you had mistaken me for someone else and didn't bother with you. But this time you dare to follow me. Who gave you the guts?

Madam Liu has already divorced you, and you should each live your own lives peacefully and leave each other alone. What is the purpose of your actions today?

"Madam Liu is my good sister. I know everything about your affair. If you continue to bother us, don't blame me for being impolite."

Lu Yunzhou was completely bewildered by Zhou Xiangxing's words. Could it be that she really wasn't Zhou Xiangxing? Why were the two so similar? Apart from their different temperaments and her more beautiful appearance, the two were just too alike.

"Mrs. Liu, is what she said true? Could it be that she really isn't my sister-in-law?"

Cough cough cough, cough cough cough...

Lu Yunzhou coughed again. He took out a handkerchief to cover his mouth, and Liu Siyue and Yun Chenxin quickly stepped back a few paces to keep their distance from him.

Lu Yunzhou's cough finally stopped, his forehead damp with sweat. He wiped it with a handkerchief, and after recovering, he looked at the two of them again, "You're really not Zhou Xiangxing?"

"It's really not like that. I have always lived in the county town. My acquaintance with Madam Liu was by chance. She came to the county town to sell medicinal herbs and was bullied. I saved her. She was grateful to me, and we became good sisters after a while."

"Let's make this clear today. I hope you won't overstep your bounds again in the future, or don't blame me for being impolite."

"It's all my fault for being blind. You two look so alike that I mistook you for someone else. I don't know your surname, madam. I'll come to apologize another day!" Lu Yunzhou said that he had mistaken her for someone else, but in his heart he still thought that she was Zhou Xiangxing. Since she refused to admit her identity, he would wait until he passed the high school entrance exam. Even if he couldn't get back together with his older brother, he could still support her.

"No need for apologies. It's against the rules for an outsider like you to come here. You don't need to know who I am. Let me warn you, don't mess with me, and don't even think about bullying Madam Liu, or I won't let you off the hook."

Get out of here, and don't let me see you again.

"Mrs. Liu, I'd like to ask, how is our daughter doing now?"

"What do you mean 'our daughter'? That's my daughter, and she has absolutely nothing to do with you. Get lost, or I'll beat you up."

Liu Siyue raised her fist, as if to hit someone. Lu Yunzhou took a few steps back. "Liu, I know that the divorce has been a big blow to you. Your mind has been affected, and you've been acting crazy. I won't hold it against you."

I've always known you like me and that you can't let me go. I promise you today, you'll take good care of our daughter. Once I'm in high school, I'll bring you and our daughter out of Liujia Village. After I find my sister-in-law, we'll live together. With my abilities, I can support you both.

"What talent do you have? The talent to live off women? Using women's money to support women, you're a scumbag. Get out of here, or I might just start punching you."

"Alright, alright, I'm leaving. Don't get agitated. Although I can't give you the status of my legal wife, I certainly won't mistreat you and your daughter. They say that the deeper the love, the more intense the hate. I understand your feelings."

"Liu, if you know where my sister-in-law is, tell her. I'm willing to take care of her, and from now on you'll be good sisters."

Liu Siyue couldn't hold back any longer. This man was truly shameless. She went up and punched Lu Yunzhou in the eyes twice. "You're blind and heartless. I would love a scumbag like you. Even a dog on the street is better than you."

If my sister-in-law knew how shameless you were, she'd probably throw up her dinner from last night.

As Lu Yunzhou backed away, he said, "Liu, I have you in my heart, and I have the child. Just wait for me."

Lu Yunzhou saw Liu Siyue doing this today because he was very scared. He was afraid that his old illness would relapse, and the only person who could save him was Liu Shi. The fortune teller said that as long as they got married and consummated their marriage, his illness would be completely cured, but recently he has been very uneasy.

He had to take precautions in advance and show goodwill to the Liu family, so that if that day ever came, he wouldn't be so repulsive.

Anyway, she already knows about his relationship with his sister-in-law, so there's no need to hide it. In the future, when he passes the imperial examination, he should marry a wife who can help his career, and then take a few concubines. Isn't that the proper thing to do?
