Chapter 874 Same Bed
"Little brother, do you really like your older sister that much?" Zhang Yuelu pinched Lin Ping's arm hard. She didn't dare to contradict the Lord of Weinan City, but she dared to attack Lin Ping.
"I'm innocent! I was forced into it." Lin Ping looked aggrieved.
He did consider using this relationship to curry favor with the city lord and his wife, thereby increasing the possibility of his escape.
Lin Ping had already used X-rays to observe the entire mansion. The huge mansion had fewer than ten guards, and they were all ordinary people without martial arts skills.
He only needs to deal with Zhang Yuelu to escape smoothly.
At the same time, Zhang Yuelu cast a cold glance at him, making Lin Ping break out in a cold sweat.
"Could this demoness have already figured out a way to absorb energy?"
Zhang Yuelu captured Lin Ping not only to seek revenge, but also to enhance her strength.
She will conduct multiple experiments to calculate the optimal amount of physical contact with Lin Ping each day.
This would inevitably require Lin Ping to be imprisoned, and Lin Ping was worried that there might be a dungeon inside the city lord's mansion.
"Father-in-law, I'm afraid of the dark..."
Lin Ping's mind conjured up images of various cruel punishments, and he could only cry out to the city lord for help.
"This child..." The city lord was pleased with Lin Ping's address and was even more determined to let them get married.
“Alright, since you and Xiaohua are going to get married sooner or later, why not live together a few days earlier?” The Lord of Weinan City said seriously, mistakenly believing that this was Lin Ping’s intention.
"Heaven and earth bear witness, anyone who wants to live with her is a dog!" Lin Ping secretly swore a poisonous oath.
Thinking of Zhang Yuelu's ruthless side, Lin Ping would rather go to the dungeon.
Lin Ping must bear full responsibility for his careless words.
Zhang Yuelu brought Lin Ping here for research purposes, so she naturally didn't object to living in the same room with him. She wasn't worried at all about what tricks Lin Ping might play.
But when these words came from the city lord, Zhang Yuelu's face turned as red as a cloud, and she actually took Lin Ping's hand and ran into her room.
"It's true what they say, daughters grow up and leave home," the Lord of Weinan lamented.
“We owe our daughter so much, I only hope she can be happy,” said the city lord’s wife.
The city lord of Weinan nodded. "It seems that Xiaohua really likes that boy, otherwise she wouldn't be blushing. This is the first time I've ever seen her so shy."
No one knows a daughter better than her father. Zhang Yuelu's own inner thoughts, which she herself could not see through, were clearly laid bare before the city lord.
He didn't dwell on the matter too much. He hurriedly took the 10,000 taels of silver given to him by Zhang Yuelu and went to the city gate to buy grain, hoping to open the granaries and distribute the grain as soon as possible.
In this freezing season, eating not only keeps you full but also warms your body.
Many frail and sickly elderly people do not die of starvation, but are frozen to death.
Distributing grain a day earlier can save more lives.
After being forcibly dragged into the room by Zhang Yuelu, Lin Ping felt a sense of fear.
He was afraid that he had said something wrong and that it would provoke the other person's ears to retaliate.
"What are you trying to do? Don't do anything rash. I haven't revealed your identity." Lin Ping said tremblingly, cornered against the wall.
Seeing his terrified expression, Zhang Yuelu couldn't help but laugh. "Little brother, are you really that afraid of your big sister? Do you think I'm going to eat you?"
"Then why did you pin someone against the wall?" Lin Ping asked pitifully.
"Alright, alright, I'll give you your freedom back."
As she spoke, Zhang Yuelu took a few steps back, and Lin Ping finally breathed a sigh of relief.
"Let's get this straight, I'm not a casual person. We're living together under orders, and we can't have any marital relations," Lin Ping said seriously. Then he drew a line in the middle of the bed. "This is the gentleman's line. No one can cross it."
This series of skillful movements almost fooled Zhang Yuelu.
Lin Ping clearly wanted to sleep in the same bed with her. Although he deliberately drew a so-called gentleman's line, it was only to guard against gentlemen, not against a lecher like Lin Pingzhao.
He was confident that he could put Zhang Yuelu back into a state of serious injury overnight, and then escape early in the morning.
"Okay, sure." Zhang Yuelu nodded. "But you'll be wearing a sack!"
The mere mention of a burlap sack sent chills down Lin Ping's spine; he was fed up with the feeling of being stuffed into a burlap sack.
"How about I sleep on the floor? The living room is fine too," Lin Ping said with a grin.
“That won’t do. If we don’t sleep in the same bed, my mother will find out, and I don’t want them to worry.” Zhang Yuelu shook her head.
"They'll be worried too if something happens to me," Lin Ping said, feeling quite pleased with himself.
Zhang Yuelu did not deny this fact; Lin Ping's arrival did indeed bring a long-lost smile to the faces of the city lord and his wife.
"Don't worry, I won't cause you any external injuries. At most, you'll just be exhausted," Zhang Yuelu said coquettishly, exuding feminine charm.
At this moment, Lin Ping was a little unsettled. He firmly believed that Zhang Yuelu was not lying, and that he might be powerless in front of this mature woman.
"How about this? I'll cooperate with your training every day and won't try to seriously injure you, but you can't put a sack over my head," Lin Ping said in a negotiating tone.
"Little brother, you'd better behave yourself, or you'll die a horrible death." Zhang Yuelu's face revealed a ferocious expression, completely different from her previous docile personality.
Faced with overwhelming power, Lin Ping dared not play any tricks and obediently spent his first night.
The next morning, Lin Ping, who was fast asleep, was awakened by a commotion outside his door.
He was about to curse, but subconsciously pulled up his pants.
Zhang Yuelu was no longer by her side, so she wasn't afraid that Lin Ping would take the opportunity to escape.
Filled with curiosity, Lin Ping stepped out of the mansion and was immediately shocked by the sight of a sea of people.
Inside Weinan city, almost all the poor people gathered here, and the long queue of tens of thousands of people stretched all the way outside the city gate.
Clearly, the news that the city lord's mansion had opened its granaries to distribute grain was quite shocking.
Lin Ping quickly spotted the stunningly beautiful Zhang Yuelu in the crowd. She was wearing a simple and neat white dress, with her hair in a bun, and was enthusiastically serving porridge to the people.
"One at a time, no rush, everyone gets a share." Zhang Yuelu's voice was gentle, and her face was radiant with an unadorned smile.
Lin Ping stared in disbelief, almost captivated by her gentle and kind demeanor.
Is this really Zhang Yuelu, the ruthless killer?
"Let me help you." Lin Ping took the initiative to walk over to Zhang Yuelu and offer his assistance.
“Little brother, you crossed the line last night. If your sister hadn’t woken up early, you would probably be seriously injured.” Zhang Yuelu gave Lin Ping a look that was hard to decipher.
He could only use an awkward smile to steer the conversation away from the topic, since Zhang Yuelu didn't show any real murderous intent on her face.
If she was truly angry, there was no need to wait until now to take revenge; she could have simply killed Lin Ping under the cover of darkness.
"Make way, everyone make way!" Just then, a discordant voice came from outside the crowd.
