Mo Chenyuan knew what the Qi family represented.

But it takes immense courage to sustain that.

The family line ended without a descendant.

Mo Chenyuan was indeed proud that Jiang Yue had passed his grandmother's test.

Even after calming down, Mo Chenyuan still felt an indescribable worry in his heart.

"Why did you all come back together?" Mo Chenyuan's gaze was very sharp.

Xiao Jing was even startled.

"Shen Yuan, Jiang Yueyue, whom I met downstairs, you wouldn't be hostile towards me, would you? I admit it..."

"Xiao Jing!" Jiang Yue interrupted Xiao Jing's spellcasting. Jiang Yue didn't want to hear Xiao Jing's words either; they were unpleasant to hear.

Xiao Jing always reiterates his feelings; he is an honest person.

He thought he was being very generous, but in fact, Jiang Yue was quite embarrassed.

"Mo Chenyuan, I'm not stupid. Xiao Jing came to see you, and he had just gotten out of the car when I got back!"

Mo Chenyuan was finally relieved.

"What are you two talking about so mysteriously!"

Jiang Yue looked at Xiao Jing: "It's because Mo Lin might decide to take action against Mo Chenyuan. I'm worried about your safety on the way. Mo Chenyuan also means that he doesn't want to involve you in this matter. Xiao Jing, this is all for your own good!"

Xiao Jing took a deep breath and relaxed a lot.

"Jiang Yueyue is the one who cares about me. But don't worry, I'm fine and I'm not afraid. No matter how bold those people are, can they offend the Xiao family?"

The relationships between the four major families are here.

Jiang Yue, however, did not think so.

Jiang Yue felt that Mo Lin was a madman.

Jiang Yue didn't say much.

The two exchanged pleasantries before Xiao Jing suddenly spoke up: "I have a bold idea. I'll move in with you. I'll protect Shen Yuan, so you can rest assured."

"No!"

Jiang Yue objected because it was a matter of life and death.

Mo Chenyuan nodded.

"There's a guest room available, so it's fine for you to stay. Just please keep quiet and don't disturb me!"

Okay, Xiao Jing agreed.

Then Xiao Jing suggested that they get their luggage and left in a flash.

Mo Chenyuan stood behind Jiang Yue.

"Ah Yuan, you should know why you brought Xiao Jing here. Xiao Jing is too impulsive; he might be in danger!"

Mo Chenyuan thought for a moment, then smiled and said, "What's wrong? Are you worried about him?"

"I don't mean to think that this matter has nothing to do with Xiao Jing!"

In the early morning, sunlight streamed through the carved wooden windows of Lanyue Pavilion, casting dappled shadows on the smooth blue bricks.

Inside the Lanyue Pavilion courtyard, three or five exquisitely dressed young girls gathered together, their voices deliberately lowered, mingling with excited and shy giggles.

"Quickly... turn to the next page!"

"This is written in such detail, and so boldly..."

Beside the tea table, the young girls, their faces flushed and their eyes shining, were pointing and gesturing at a beautifully bound novel.

"Zhiwei, this novel, 'Lord Lu's Mad Criticism of Forced Love,' is absolutely fantastic! It's the best story I've ever read! The author, Chunfengdu, writes with such detail and vividness, as if he truly knew Lord Lu!"

The Imperial Censor's daughter, Zhang Yuyao, excitedly grabbed Shen Zhiwei's hands, her eyes shining.

"Maybe...perhaps...I've seen it!"

Shen Zhiwei shrank back, feeling a little guilty. No wonder, she was Chunfengdu, the author of the popular novel "Lord Lu's Madman's Forced Love," which had captivated countless young women in the capital these past few days.

Of course, she wasn't from this dynasty, but it was pretty much the same.

Shen Zhiwei was a transmigrator. She arrived in a fictional dynasty with open customs and abundant resources. Due to her family's sudden decline, she picked up her old profession from the modern world: writing light novels and adding interludes as a side note.

You have to understand, before she came to this world, she was the best in her own world. These ancient people were all ignorant and unsophisticated. She only used a little trick.

She had never seen Lu Chenzhou, the protagonist of "Lord Lu," not even when he was naked, nor when he was clothed.

Where did those two thrilling interjections come from?

Speaking of which, from the moment Shen Zhiwei was reborn, she came from one of the wealthiest families in Jiangnan. Her family didn't favor sons over daughters; she was their only granddaughter, and she grew up cherished like a precious jewel. Shen Zhiwei remembered her modern memories, but never encountered a system or plot. She lived as she pleased until she reached marriageable age, when she picked up a man on the street—a swordsman, severely wounded and on the verge of death. Since people in her country liked to rescue prostitutes, she took him in. As a daughter of a merchant family, she didn't need to be married; she could simply raise a son-in-law who would live with her family in the future.

The swordsman Lu Yu was truly handsome, not only in appearance but also in physique. After countless fantasies about Lu Yu writing stories, she finally slept with him on a dark and windy night.

Of course, Shen Zhiwei firmly believed that she would take responsibility.

The changes came too quickly. Her grandfather passed away unexpectedly, and the Shen family fell into decline. Only then did she realize the plot of the story. It turned out that she was a cannon fodder female supporting character in an ancient romance novel. Her family had fallen into ruin, and she was all alone. She came to the capital to seek refuge with Lu Zeming, her fiancé arranged by her grandfather. However, Lu Zeming brought her true love on the battlefield. With no one to rely on, she lost her support and became a stepping stone for Lu Zeming to demonstrate his loyalty to the female lead.

Although Shen Zhiwei came to escape disaster.

But no one just sits and waits to die.

She picked up her pen again and, using Lu Chenzhou, the man every young girl in the capital longed for, as her model, wrote this story. She had only been in the capital for three days when, unexpectedly, sales exploded, and she earned a large sum of money.

But this portrait... is from the Lu region.

After the Shen family's misfortune, she was put on a carriage overnight, and she didn't even know if her man was alright.

"impossible!"

A voice rang out from behind them. Liu Qingxue, who had just arrived, slammed her hand on the table and exclaimed, "How is this possible? My brother said that Lord Lu was injured in the shoulder while protecting His Majesty in his early years. This matter was kept secret. How could you even draw the scar to be the exact same size!"

Liu Qingxue's face was very ugly: "Could this be Lord Lu's personal attendant! This person is truly despicable. When Lord Lu returns, I will definitely report this to him, arrest Chunfengdu, punish him, and have his entire family executed."

"It's just a storybook, it can't be that serious!"

Shen Zhiwei sighed, how could such a coincidence happen?

But everyone knew that Liu Qingxue was the highest-ranking noblewoman present. In today's more enlightened society, women could also receive an education, and the Lu family's girls' school was a place for noblewomen to study, founded by Princess Wenqing, the matriarch of the Lu family's noble household. Liu Qingxue was related to the Lu family by marriage and had close ties with them; she couldn't afford to offend them.

Liu Qingxue suddenly glared at Shen Zhiwei: "How could it be so serious? Spying on Lord Lu's privacy, this person deserves to die!"

Shen Zhiwei couldn't say that the painting wasn't of Lu Chenzhou, otherwise she would become even more of a target of criticism. She could only mutter softly, "Sister Liu's words are as if you've seen Lord Lu's scars. How can you be sure that the location and size of these scars are similar?"

"How could you, an unmarried woman, utter such reckless words? And rightly so, what kind of good person would read such shameless novels!"

Liu Qingxue raised her hand, about to slap him.

Shen Zhiwei, however, was not one to take things lying down, and grabbed Liu Qingxue's arm.

"You resort to violence when you can't win an argument! You were the one who started showing off those scars! You, Liu Qingxue, are allowed to discuss them, but we're not allowed to enjoy them with storybooks? I want to read them, so I'll read them!"

As Shen Zhiwei was speaking, Liu Qingxue grabbed the storybook and threw it outside.

If you can't fight, then don't bother reading this storybook.
