Chapter 67 Personality Independence
"Everyone, Chengwu is seriously injured, so I can't accompany you!
Cousin Xingye and Uncle Jinniu, please say hello for me.

Everyone, eat and drink well! "

After Cui Shuyun left, Zhu Chengwu also apologized and left.

"My Lord, you're welcome."

Most of the guests expressed understanding for Zhu Chengwu's departure.

The news that Zhu Chengwu was assassinated and seriously injured spread widely in Xuzhou City.

Many guests initially thought that the wedding had to be postponed!

It was beyond their expectations that Zhu Chengwu could endure the serious injuries and complete the wedding process and hold the wedding on schedule.

How could he force Zhu Chengwu to stay and keep him company?

Moreover, there were almost no guests with higher status than Zhu Chengwu.

Even if some of them wanted to keep Zhu Chengwu, they wouldn't dare to say it!

Of course, there were also some bold, nosy guests who had close relations with the Marquis of Fu'an Mansion and who were stirring up trouble.

They teased Zhu Chengwu that he was in a hurry to meet his stunningly beautiful bride.

The representative among them is Qiuyue’s biological father, Qiu, the deputy leader of the Xiaodao Gang.

Looking at her father who was ignorant and making trouble, Qiuyue was anxious and kept winking at him.

But Boss Qiu, who was in high spirits, didn't notice it at all.

Qiuyue personally participated in the bride-receiving ceremony at the Marquis' Mansion and even saw the "Fire Lotus" with her own eyes. She knew the real purpose of the marriage between Zhu Chengwu and the Cui family.

Moreover, the Marquis is now seriously injured. No matter how beautiful the Cui family's legitimate daughter is, the Marquis is powerless now.

Even though the beauty was by his side, the marquis was powerless.

Now my father is teasing the Marquis about the bridal chamber. Isn't this just rubbing salt into the Marquis' wound?

"Father wouldn't really have offended the Marquis, would he?"

Qiuyue was secretly worried and looked at Zhu Chengwu.

But there was nothing unusual on Zhu Chengwu's face.

He just smiled and left!
Although Zhu Chengwu didn't say anything, Qiuyue wasn't sure whether he was angry or not.

This made Qiuyue feel a little more anxious.

Offending the Marquis is not good news for the entire Qiu family.

"Father, you are drunk!"

After Chunhua helped Zhu Chengwu leave the scene, Qiuyue silently walked up to her father, Deputy Leader Qiu of the Xiaodao Gang, and said.

"Yue'er, you're here~~"

Seeing Qiuyue, Deputy Gang Leader Qiu said with a smile on his blushing face.

"Father, you are drunk!"

Seeing her father's drunken appearance, Qiuyue emphasized again that he was drunk!
Then, Qiuyue walked up to Deputy Gang Leader Qiu and helped him up.

"Yue'er, I'm not drunk, not drunk...

I can keep on drinking!

Today, the Marquis is getting married, a great occasion, everyone, happy, happy!"

Deputy Gang Leader Qiu was drunk and tried to break free from Qiu Yue's hand and continued drinking.

However, Qiuyue's hands were like they were made of cast iron, firmly holding Deputy Gang Leader Qiu.

Let Deputy Gang Leader Qiu escape!
"Everyone, I'm sorry, my father is drunk, so I'll take my leave now!"

After controlling Deputy Gang Leader Qiu, Qiuyue apologized to the people sitting at the same table with Deputy Gang Leader Qiu and forcibly carried Deputy Gang Leader Qiu away.

In response to Qiuyue's accusation, several people sitting at the same table with Deputy Gang Leader Qiu kept saying "I dare not" and "Please go ahead", not daring to stop Qiuyue in the slightest.

Marquis Fu'an's wedding was taking place, and the great master, Lord Zhao Yuguang, was still present. Now was the time when the Marquis Fu'an's mansion was at its most powerful. How dare they offend Qiuyue, the manor's close attendant?

Besides, who could be a big shot sitting at the same table with the Xiaodao Gang's Deputy Chief Qiu?

Everyone in Xuzhou knows that Deputy Chief Qiu is of mediocre qualifications and intelligence, and he only became the Deputy Chief of the Xiaodao Gang because of his daughter's relationship.

At home, his daughter is the one who makes the decisions!
Now that Qiuyue has been stopped, Deputy Gang Leader Qiu probably won't and dares not to be grateful to them after he sobers up.

Why would they do such a thankless task?

After Qiuyue apologized to the people sitting at the same table with Deputy Gang Leader Qiu, she took Deputy Gang Leader Qiu away without waiting for their answers.

Qiuyue doesn't like Deputy Gang Leader Qiu's cronies.

In Qiuyue's opinion, it was the "spreading words" of these bad friends that made her father more and more stupid and increasingly confused about his own position.

Many times, my father was sold but still helped others count money, and he enjoyed being used as a knife.

Today, that’s it!

The same thing happened a few days ago, when the Marquis was injured.

After Qiuyue returned to Fu'an Marquis Mansion, she was informed by her "good sister" that Deputy Gang Leader Qiu was rumored to have come to test Fu'an Marquis Mansion.

In addition, today Deputy Gang Leader Qiu couldn't see the situation clearly and jumped out to tease Zhu Chengwu.

The combination of these two factors made Qiuyue so angry that she forced Deputy Gang Leader Qiu away in the middle of the wedding banquet without giving him any face at all.

……

With Chunhua's support, Zhu Chengwu went directly to Cui Shuyun's bridal chamber.

Although Zhu Chengwu couldn't do anything today.

Although Zhu Chengwu, who majored in Tongzi Kung Fu, could not do anything.

But there are so many people around, and in order to avoid unnecessary trouble, Zhu Chengwu still has to put on some attitude.

"How did you come?

Don't forget what you promised me!"

Zhu Chengwu's arrival surprised Cui Shuyun, who was removing her makeup, and she said in panic.

Because of the previous agreement.

Cui Shuyun thought that Zhu Chengwu would sleep in the study or some other room and would not come to the bridal chamber!

Cui Shuyun has already planned to remove her makeup, eat, and go to bed.

"Don't worry! I will do what I promised!

And I have no interest in you.”

Zhu Chengwu glanced at Cui Shuyun, and with the help of Chunhua, he walked over to the couch and sat down.

"Chunhua, go ask the kitchen to prepare some food!"

Zhu Chengwu gave Chunhua an instruction and then closed his eyes and began to regulate his breathing.

For Zhu Chengwu's injured body, it was a great test to complete this series of tedious wedding procedures while enduring the injuries.

Fortunately, Zhu Chengwu was in good health and nothing unexpected happened.

But after dealing with this tedious wedding process, Zhu Chengwu was left hungry.

The wedding ceremony was so complicated and time-consuming that it exceeded Zhu Chengwu's imagination.

When the upper class people set "etiquette" in order to demonstrate their own status, they really did everything they could.

"My Lord, Miss... No, Madam has already asked me to order the kitchen to prepare food. If you don't mind, you can come with us after the food is ready..."

Hearing Zhu Chengwu's instructions to Chunhua, Xiaowei, the maid beside Cui Shuyun, suddenly interrupted.

“Thank you Miss Xiaowei for the invitation!
But my Lord has his own special recipe, so I won’t bother Madam and Miss Xiaowei!”

Xiaowei spoke, but before Zhu Chengwu could reply, Chunhua, who was walking out of the room, could not wait to reject Xiaowei's invitation.

Xiaowei was stunned by Chunhua's reply, and then she looked awkwardly at Zhu Chengwu who was closing his eyes and regulating his breathing.

Then Xiaowei turned to look at Chunhua with resentment in her eyes.

"Before the Marquis replied, the maidservant beside him could not wait to refuse. What does this mean? Is it a protest? Or does she have some idea about the Marquis..."

Xiaowei looked at Chunhua indignantly, feeling resentful in her heart.

However, Xiaowei only thought that it was against the rules for Chunhua to reply without going through Zhu Chengwu, but she forgot that she also made the invitation without going through Cui Shuyun, so how could her behavior be against the rules?

It's also because Xiaowei is used to being lazy in the Cui family.

When Cui Shuyun first heard Xiaowei's invitation to Zhu Chengwu, she was shocked. Cui Shuyun didn't understand that Xiaowei had witnessed the whole process of her and Fu'an Hou reaching a consensus in the other courtyard.

Why did Xiaowei suddenly invite Zhu Chengwu to have dinner together?
Don’t you know that she wants to keep her distance from Marquis Fu’an now?
It’s just right to eat separately so that each doesn’t interfere with the other.

"Fortunately, the maidservant beside Marquis Fu'an refused!"

After Chunhua rejected Xiaowei's invitation, Cui Shuyun secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

At the same time, Cui Shuyun turned around and glared at Xiaowei, who was looking at Chunhua's self-willed attitude with dissatisfaction.

Xiaowei always acts on her own and puts herself in the shoes of Cui Shuyun's parents. Many times, she acts on her own without regard for Cui Shuyun's wishes.

Just like now!
All the actions they took were good for Cui Shuyun in their eyes, regardless of whether it was what Cui Shuyun wanted or not.

Therefore, even though Xiaowei had been with Cui Shuyun for more than ten years and could be considered to have grown up together, the relationship between Cui Shuyun and Xiaowei could never be as close as that between the young ladies and their maids in many other large families, where they could get along like sisters.

But at the same time, Cui Shuyun clearly knew that the starting point and end point of all Xiaowei's actions were for her.

Therefore, Cui Shuyun never proposed to replace her personal maid and was very tolerant of Xiaowei.

This tolerance caused Xiaowei to not be as cautious as other servants and maids, for fear of making mistakes.

People who speak and act carelessly may sometimes even overstep their authority.

Just like now!
"Then let's go together!

Chunhua, have someone bring my food and my wife's food up here together!"

Although Zhu Chengwu closed his eyes and regulated his breathing, he still took in the words, expressions, and small movements of Chunhua, Cui Shuyun, and Cui Shuyun's maid with the keenness of a first-class warrior, and finally gave these instructions.

Although Zhu Chengwu is not smart, he can still roughly guess what Chunhua, Cui Shuyun and Cui Shuyun's maid are thinking.

Cui Shuyun wanted to keep her distance from him.

But Cui Shuyun's personal maid obviously had different ideas from her.

The maid obviously wanted Cui Shuyun and Zhu Chengwu to get close.

A maid who can maintain different ideas from her master and can tolerate a master whose personal maid disagrees with her.

Zhu Chengwu couldn't help but look at Cui Shuyun and her maid with a higher regard.

In Zhu Chengwu's previous life, everyone was equal.

But after reincarnating into this world, what Zhu Chengwu saw was that everyone was born different, with high and low status clearly distinguished.

Even the potential geniuses such as the four close attendants that Zhu Chengwu intended to cultivate could not completely maintain their "personal independence".

This may also be because of Zhu Chengwu!

On the one hand, Zhu Chengwu hopes that the four major maids and the potential geniuses of the Marquis' Mansion can maintain their "personal independence", but on the other hand, he doesn't want anyone to go against his wishes.

Zhu Chengwu himself is contradictory, so how can he expect the four maids, who are potential talents, to have "independent personalities" as he expects?

What Zhu Chengwu could not fully do, Cui Shuyun and her maid seemed to have achieved now.

How could Zhu Chengwu not look at him with higher regard?

Moreover, Zhu Chengwu, who has the memories of his past life, always feels inexplicably familiar when watching the way Cui Shuyun and her maid get along with each other.

This also made Zhu Chengwu have a better impression of them.

And, most importantly: spring flowers.

Zhu Chengwu had already sensed Chunhua's thoughts.

Zhu Chengwu is also trying to find a way to stop Chunhua's unrealistic ideas.

This is because Zhu Chengwu was also influenced by this world and began to pay attention to family background and looked down on Chunhua's birth.

But because Zhu Chengwu was just a boy, he was destined to be unable to meet Chunhua's expectations.

Just don’t hurt others!

As for Cui Shuyun, this was Cui's request. And for the sake of the "Earth Core Fire Lotus", Zhu Chengwu could not refuse.

Another point is that Chunhua was the first of the four maids to follow Zhu Chengwu.

Chunhua was only a few years old when Zhu Chengwu first met her.

At that time, Zhu Chengwu had already reached adulthood and was given the title.

For so many years, Chunhua said that she was Zhu Chengwu's maid.

But Zhu Chengwu's feelings for Chunhua are three parts like a sister, three parts like a daughter, and the remaining four parts are like a subordinate and a maid.

Of course, Zhu Chengwu's feelings towards the other three maids are similar, but the proportions of each type of feeling are different!

Zhu Chengwu really couldn't think of anything about Chunhua as she grew up like this.

Zhu Chengwu hopes that Chunhua can find a home that truly suits her.

Instead of hanging herself on the tree of Zhu Chengwu, who was destined to never respond to her.

Perhaps this is just Zhu Chengwu's idea, not Chunhua's desire.

But isn’t that what people are like? They always act according to their own ideas!
However, although Zhu Chengwu wanted Chunhua to give up, he still had to use some methods and approaches.

When Zhu Chengwu was seriously injured and unconscious, Chunhua was the first person to step forward and take responsibility and perform surgery on Zhu Chengwu.

Zhu Chengwu could not hurt the hearts of these loyal subordinates who were wholeheartedly devoted to him.

"Okay, my lord!"

Hearing Zhu Chengwu's order, Chunhua was stunned, then her eyes darkened and she responded in a low voice.

Zhu Chengwu's attitude was very clear, how could Chunhua not sense it.

Before turning around and leaving, Chunhua glanced at Cui Shuyun secretly.

Although the wife of the Marquis was outstanding in appearance, Chunhua could feel that the Marquis had not had any feelings for her before.

But it’s hard to say now…

Even if it is just to make her give up, the Marquis will get close to this wife.

Chunhua never imagined that one day she would become the driving force for the Marquis and the newly married wife to become closer.

This is really ironic!
"My Lord, let me clean it up for you!"

Different from Chunhua's gloom, Zhu Chengwu's words made Xiaowei feel alive.

He immediately tidied up the tables and chairs in the room.

Things on the table should be arranged on the plate, and things that should be taken away should be taken away.

At the same time, Xiaowei removed all the extra stools, leaving only two stools facing each other.

That was prepared for Zhu Chengwu and Cui Shuyun.

"All right!"

Finally, Xiaowei clapped her hands, very satisfied with her own achievements.

"Xiao...Xiao Wei, right?"

Looking at Xiaowei who had finished her work, Zhu Chengwu looked at her and shouted.

No one had ever introduced this personal maid of Cui Shuyun to Zhu Chengwu.

Zhu Chengwu had only vaguely heard others address her by that name from other people's conversations.

"That's right, sir!

My name is Xiaowei!

The Marquis actually knows my name?"

Xiaowei was surprised that Zhu Chengwu knew her name.

“Isn’t it natural for a lively girl like Xiaowei to know your name?

Come, give me a hand!"

Zhu Chengwu smiled and praised Xiaowei, then stretched out his right hand and made a request.

"what!

Oh! "

When Xiaowei was praised by Zhu Chengwu, her face immediately turned red with embarrassment.

It’s not like Xiao Wei hasn’t been praised by other people before, but who can blame Marquis Fu’an for having such a high status and outstanding looks and figure!
Finally, Xiaowei reacted, walked up to Zhu Chengwu, and helped him sit down on the stool she had just prepared.
