Zhao Ziyu simply glanced at Tuoba Xiao and then gave Liu Qiaoer detailed instructions.
"I know you like freedom. If you want to live in the mansion, we have reserved a yard for you. If you don't want to live there, Yaowang Valley has a medicine shop in the city. You can live there."
Liu Qiaoer has been with Zhao Ziyu for such a long time, and she is very happy to know that he knows her so well.
"Then I'll live in the pharmacy."
Zhao Ziyu paused for a moment and then said, "Lord Lu and Madam Lu are also in Liangzhou. Their house is the closest to here. Do you want to..."
Liu Qiaoer refused without even thinking: "No."
She didn't want to live with Mrs. Lu. Out of sight, out of mind.
Zhao Ziyu sighed helplessly, and advised Liu Qiaoer like an old father.
"You will marry Lu Yunzheng in the future. She is his biological mother. You will have to get along with each other sooner or later..."
Liu Qiaoer really couldn't be happy with Madam Lu: "The person I want to marry is Lu Yunzheng, not her. If you insist on making yourself unhappy, then don't marry."
Zhao Ziyu chuckled: "With your temper, I don't know if that man can stand it. Yun Zheng will suffer."
Unexpectedly, Tuoba Xiao, who had been silent the whole time, raised his eyebrows and said, "I can bear it. As long as she is willing, I can marry her anytime."
Zhao Ziyu's eyes suddenly turned cold and her face became gloomy.
"This is the man you rescued from Northern Qiang. I heard he is Northern Qiang's eldest prince Tuoba Xiao."
Tuoba Xiao didn't expect that Zhao Ziyu had already found out all his details as soon as he arrived in Liangzhou.
His expression also darkened: "It's me."
Zhao Ziyu looked at Tuoba Xiao deeply and said, "For a great prince to come to the Great Zhou with you, it can be said that he has deep feelings for you."
Liu Qiaoer looked at Tuoba Xiao's confident look and suddenly smiled for some reason.
Tuoba Xiao also raised the corner of his mouth slightly.
"Your Highness, since there is nothing serious, I will leave first." Liu Qiaoer stood up and said goodbye.
After leaving Prince Yi's Mansion, Liu Qiaoer looked Tuoba Xiao up and down.
He smiled bitterly, "You gave up your great kingdom and followed me to the Great Zhou. I may not be able to give you anything. Do you regret it?"
Tuoba Xiao smiled indifferently: "I should have died, but you saved my life. I will stay with you for the rest of my life."
Liu Qiaoer sighed: "If the Great Zhou and Northern Qiang start fighting, what will you do?"
Tuoba Xiao was silent for a moment: "According to Sixth Brother's personality, we can't fight. Besides, don't you and your friend not want to fight?"
Liu Qiaoer thought about it and didn’t know if it was true. After all, she didn’t know the history, and the people who knew the history were not here.
Du Zixu is in Beiqiang, and they have not had any contact since Liu Qiaoer returned to Da Zhou.
And the development of events was exactly as Du Zixu said, the Great Zhou was in internal strife, and stability would not come until someone unified the country.
And the person who unified the world was Zhao Ziyu.
Liu Qiaoer was very tired, and Tuoba Xiao was not relaxed either. They were led to the backyard of the medicine shop in Yaowang Valley.
In front is a pharmacy, and across the street is a large mansion. You can smell the fragrance of medicine in the yard even in the alley.
The people from Yaowang Valley had received the news long ago and were waiting to greet her at the door. Doctor Zhu crossed his hands in front of him with a smile on his face, and when he saw Liu Qiaoer, his eyes were filled with joy.
"Oh, I have waited for a long time, and finally the girl has come. Girl, please come to the yard quickly."
The reason why Doctor Zhu respects Liu Qiaoer so much is because Liu Qiaoer is selfless and took out all the medical documents in the space.
He also worked with the people of Yaowang Valley to compile medical books, making great contributions to the medical industry. It was Yaowang Valley that not only improved their medical standards, but also enhanced their reputation.
As the master of Yaowang Valley, how could Doctor Zhu not respect Liu Qiaoer
"The yard has been tidied up for the young lady, and the yard of this young master has also been tidied up..."
Tuoba Xiao waved his hand: "No, I'm her servant, I just live next door to her."
Liu Qiao'er didn't comment: "Let's live in the same yard. It won't be too much trouble. You know, I don't really like being served by others."
After settling down, Liu Qiaoer was finally able to take a nice hot bath. She slept so soundly that she didn't know what was happening outside until she was woken up.
"Who are you to her? You are so arrogant here. I have never heard that she has other relatives."
"What do you care who I am to her? Anyway, tell her to come out and see me soon. If she doesn't come to visit me when she comes back, she won't be able to enter our house in the future."
"Madam, let's go back. The girl is really tired after coming back from Mobei. Even if she wants to see you, there is no rush."
"What are you going to do when you go back? I'm going to make it clear to her today. Either don't enter our house, or abide by our rules. A mere maid can only be a concubine. Princess Mingxin is the legal wife. She is not worthy of being compared with the princess."
"Madam, the young lady also saved the eldest master's life. Shouldn't it be the eldest master's decision whether she will be his wife or concubine? Madam, let's go back."
Liu Qiaoer recognized the voices; they were Madam Lu and her maid Qiuyu.
Of the four maids in the Lu family, Xia Ying and Gu Mubai were sent to take up positions in local areas after they got married.
After Chunyu was scolded away by Mrs. Lu, he has been following Liu Qiaoer. Now he has become a shopkeeper and stayed in Mobei to help with business.
Dong Ling was Lu Yunqing's maid, but Lu Yunqing did not take her with him. Instead, he left her with Mrs. Lu.
Qiuyu is Lu Yunxi's maid and has always followed Lu Yunxi. Now that there is war in Yuzhou, Mrs. Lu and her family have gathered in Liangzhou.
Liu Qiaoer knew that Madam Lu looked down on her. If Lu Yunzheng had not disobeyed Madam Lu time and again and insisted on marrying her, Madam Lu would still be a very dignified person.
But when it comes to her son's marriage, she still feels that no one is worthy of Lu Yunzheng.
Liu Qiaoer packed up and came out of the house. Tuoba Xiao had never seen such a domineering lady. When he saw Liu Qiaoer, he protected her behind him.
"You don't have to come out. I'll deal with them. If they make any more noise, I'll kick them out."
Liu Qiaoer sighed deeply and said, "She is Lu Yunzheng's mother?"
When Tuoba Xiao heard this, he immediately understood: "If you marry Lu Yunzheng, she will be your mother-in-law?"
Liu Qiaoer nodded.
Tuoba Xiao sneered speechlessly: "Then it's better not to get married. How could Lu Yunzheng have such a mother? No wonder you two seem to be in love and righteous, but you still don't get married."
With a mother-in-law like this, the relationship between the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law will never be harmonious.
Liu Qiaoer came in front of Mrs. Lu and bowed in a neither humble nor arrogant manner.
"Madam, please forgive me for not welcoming you. Actually, you don't have to worry. I already have a fiancé. Look, this is him."
As she spoke, Liu Qiaoer pulled Tuoba Xiao over.
Tuoba Xiao also proudly bowed to Madam Lu.
"That's right. Young Master Lu is fighting in Yunzhou right now. In order not to affect him, the prince has instructed us not to tell anyone about our affairs. After Qiao'er sees the prince, if there is no problem, we will go back to Beiqiang."
Mrs. Lu looked at the man who was more handsome than her son with confusion.
"Are you from Northern Qiang?"
“Yes and no.”
