The transmigrated wife is crazy and ruthless.

Chapter 109 Love Before Marriage

The first rays of morning sunlight shone through the gaps in the tent and fell on Qiu Ziyue's face.

She opened her eyes, stretched, but felt uneasy.

Everything that happened last night was still swirling in my mind. First, I got drunk at the celebration banquet and cried my eyes out, talking nonsense. Lu Yuan, Changming, and my three senior brothers came to comfort me.

Later, Lu Yuan Changming proposed to her, and she seemed to have agreed. After that, she went back to her tent to rest.

Later still, Zhao Wanqing came looking for the antidote.

"What is all this?" Qiu Ziyue slapped her forehead.

"Sister Ziyue, get up. Prince Jin summoned you and Young Master Lu this morning, but I don't know why," Liu Xu said warmly, bringing over a basin of water.

Qiu Ziyue hummed in agreement, quickly washed up, and then stepped out of the tent.

She noticed that Lu Yuanchangming was already waiting outside the tent with a big smile, looking quite happy.

Inside Li Keyong's tent, Li Keyong sat at a table, holding a book in his hand, his expression serious.

Hearing Qiu Ziyue and Lu Yuanchangming walk in, he looked up and gestured for them to sit down.

"Girl, General Lu, you've arrived." Li Keyong's voice was deep and powerful.

Qiu Ziyue and Lu Yuanchang bowed in unison: "Your subordinates pay their respects to Prince Jin."

Li Keyong nodded, his gaze lingering on Qiu Ziyue and Lu Yuanchangming for a moment.

He said gently, "No need for formalities, girl. I heard you've accepted General Lu's marriage proposal, is that true?"

Qiu Ziyue was slightly taken aback, then nodded: "Prince Jin, I drank a few cups of wine last night and was a little drunk, so I said the word 'married'."

A hint of relief flashed in Li Keyong's eyes, but it quickly turned serious again: "I also heard that you have planned to cancel your bet with Qi Yuxuan, so I have not asked the emperor for an imperial edict."

Qiu Ziyue's heart tightened, but she still answered frankly, "Yes, Godfather, I have thought about the bet between Qi Yuxuan and me for a long time and felt it was not appropriate, so I wanted to cancel it. I was just about to write to you to inform you when I received your letter, which delayed me."

Li Keyong nodded, seemingly satisfied with the answer: "Girl, you're very smart to have made such a decision. That's good."

Qiu Ziyue smiled slightly, but felt a little uneasy inside.

Li Keyong continued, "Now that you have accepted General Lu's marriage proposal, are you both willing to get married in the army?"

Qiu Ziyue's heart raced. She looked up at Li Keyong and said firmly, "Godfather, please allow me to think about it some more."

Li Keyong nodded, a hint of affection flashing in his eyes, and then said to Lu Yuanchangming, "General Lu, what is your opinion?"

Lu Yuanchangming stood up and respectfully replied, "This subordinate is willing, willing to protect her for the rest of his life."

Li Keyong smiled with satisfaction and turned to Qiu Ziyue and Lu Yuanchangming: "You two discuss it again. If you both agree, then I will make the arrangements to hold the wedding in the military camp."

"Also, although the conditions in the military camp are simple, you can get married there. This way, it won't interfere with your military duties, and it will also allow you to fulfill your wishes. When you get to Chang'an or Yangzhou, you can hold a grand banquet to make up for it. Wouldn't that be better?"

Qiu Ziyue and Lu Yuanchangming exchanged a glance.

Qiu Ziyue said to Li Keyong, "Father, please allow me to speak with General Lu privately for a few minutes to discuss this before I give you an answer."

Li Keyong nodded.

Qiu Ziyue and Lu Yuanchangming walked out of Li Keyong's tent and headed towards Qiu Ziyue's tent.

“I say, Young Master Lu, we were both drunk that day, and on a whim, I said I would marry you. You actually went to my godfather and said I accepted your proposal. Isn’t that a bit hasty?”

Lu Yuanchangming frowned slightly, his tone firm: "Ziyue, you know I'm serious about my feelings for you. I also take your words to heart."

Lu Yuanchangming continued, "You are a great general, shouldn't you keep your word? Many soldiers already know this, you must take responsibility for me, otherwise I won't have the face to stay in the military camp."

"Young Master Lu, don't give me that. Qi Yuxuan and I just canceled our bet and I'm about to marry you. Do you want people to call me a scumbag?"

“Ziyue, what is a bad girl? You are the fairy in my heart,” Lu Yuan said.

Qiu Ziyue sighed and explained, "Changming, matters of the heart aren't so simple. In our country, people usually fall in love before getting married. The divorce rate for whirlwind marriages and whirlwind romances is very high. Don't you think whirlwind marriages are terrifying?"

"What are you talking about, Ziyue? What whirlwind marriage and divorce? I just want you to become my wife as soon as possible."

"Young Master Lu, I'm very confused right now and haven't sorted things out yet. I don't want to lie to you; that wouldn't be fair to you."

Lu Yuanchangming remained silent for a moment, a hint of helplessness flashing in his eyes, but he finally nodded.

“Okay, how about this? I suggest we try dating first. If we’re compatible, we’ll get married; if not, we’ll break up. I’ll talk to my godfather about us working on our relationship some more.”

Qiu Ziyue breathed a sigh of relief, thought for a moment and said, "That's fine too. Let me think about it. When I really want to marry you, how about we get married?"

“Okay, so what’s the first step in dating in your country?” Lu Yuanchangming asked.

"It's all about pursuing first. Our country is very open-minded. Men pursue women, and women pursue men. True couples are very romantic and sweet."

As she spoke, Qiu Ziyue's face revealed a girlish shyness and cuteness.

“Then I’ll pursue you first, since it’s impossible for you to pursue me,” Lu Yuan said.

"Whatever you want, see if you can win my heart, haha," Qiu Ziyue laughed.

After chatting for a while, the tension and unease in their hearts gradually dissipated.

The two then went to Li Keyong and explained their decision.

Li Keyong nodded, a hint of understanding flashing in his eyes: "Girl, General Lu, you are right. Marriage is not a game, but I can see that General Lu's feelings for you are sincere, there is no doubt about that."

Qiu Ziyue smiled slightly, her tone firm: "Prince Jin, I am very grateful for Young Master Lu's kindness and for your concern. However, marriage is a major life event, so please allow us some more time to consider it."

Li Keyong nodded, his tone carrying a hint of comfort: "Ziyue, you are a rational and prudent person, and I respect your decision. In that case, I will not bring this up for the time being and give you enough time to consider it."

Qiu Ziyue felt a warmth in her heart and said gratefully, "Thank you for your understanding and support, General."

Li Keyong smiled slightly and turned to Lu Yuanchangming: "General Lu, you must also understand Ziyue's feelings. Matters of the heart cannot be forced; both parties need to be adequately prepared."

Lu Yuan and Chang Ming responded in unison, "Understood, subordinates."

Li Keyong nodded, his tone turning serious: "Now, let's continue our discussion of military affairs. Ziyue, what happened between you and Zhao Wanqing last night?"

Qiu Ziyue gathered her thoughts and gave a detailed report of what happened last night.

She said, "Prince Jin, Zhao Wanqing came to me to get the antidote. By the way, I have already reached an agreement with her. She has agreed to infiltrate the Chang'an Palace to protect the Emperor. She understands our plan and is willing to cooperate."

Li Keyong nodded, a hint of approval flashing in his eyes: "Very good, girl, you've done an excellent job. Next, we need to formulate a detailed action plan to ensure that Zhao Wanqing can enter the palace smoothly."

Qiu Ziyue and Lu Yuanchangming exchanged a glance and replied in unison, "Understood, subordinate."

Li Keyong stood up and said firmly, "Alright, everyone go back and prepare. We need to act quickly and strive to complete the mission as soon as possible."

Qiu Ziyue and Lu Yuanchangming bowed in unison and left the tent.
