After rebirth, my elder sister wants to steal my husband!

Chapter 271 Sisters' Conflict

As the night deepened, the laughter and joy from the lantern festival and the ripples on the lake intertwined into a moving picture. Fu Yuzhang and Lu Zhiran walked side by side in the bustling crowd, holding hands, as if they wanted to hold on to this rediscovered emotion.

Lu Zhiran's face was filled with a faint smile, and her eyes were shining with gentle light under the light. Fu Yuzhang looked at her, and an indescribable feeling of emotion surged in his heart. He knew that at this moment, Lu Zhiran was the most precious treasure in his heart.

They came to a huge lotus lantern. The lantern had a unique shape and was made up of hundreds of small red lanterns, like a blooming red lotus, which was particularly dazzling in the night. Fu Yuzhang stopped and looked at Lu Zhiran affectionately, and said softly: "Zhiran, this lotus lantern is like the relationship between us. It has gone through the baptism of wind and rain and is now blooming again."

When Lu Zhiran heard this, a trace of emotion flashed in her eyes. She looked at Fu Yuzhang and said softly, "Yuzhang, I also hope that our relationship can be like this lotus lantern, and become stronger after going through wind and rain."

The two smiled at each other, their hearts filled with beautiful expectations for the future. They continued to walk forward, and from time to time there was a breeze blowing, bringing the freshness of the lake and the fragrance of flowers and plants in the distance. These subtle feelings made them cherish the happy time in front of them even more.

Suddenly, a melodious singing voice attracted their attention. A woman in a light gauze dress was standing on a small boat in the lake, holding a long flute and singing an ancient love song. The singing voice was as clear as spring water and as soft as moonlight, which made people intoxicated.

Fu Yuzhang took Lu Zhiran's hand and walked to the boat by the lake. They sat quietly on the boat, listening to the moving song. Accompanied by the song, they seemed to have returned to that youthful and beautiful time when they had just met and were filled with longing and yearning for love.

The night was as dark as ink, the laughter and joy at the lantern festival gradually faded away, Fu Yuzhang and Lu Zhiran walked hand in hand on the way back home, both of them were full of beautiful visions for the future. However, at this moment, an inappropriate figure appeared in front of them - Mu Qizong.

Mu Qizong is Lu Zhiran's brother-in-law. He has been attracted by Lu Zhiran's beauty and temperament since the first time he saw her. Even after marriage, he has never stopped thinking about her. At this moment, he stood in the moonlight, staring at Lu Zhiran with a trace of greed that is not easy to detect.

Seeing this, Fu Yuzhang frowned slightly, and he held Lu Zhiran's hand tightly, protecting her behind him. He knew Mu Qizong's feelings for Lu Zhiran very well, so he was displeased with his appearance.

Mu Qizong didn't seem to notice Fu Yuzhang's displeasure. He walked up to him and greeted him in a warm and friendly manner: "Yuzhang, Zhiran, you're back so late. Did you have fun?"

Lu Zhiran nodded slightly and responded politely: "Thank you for your concern, brother-in-law. We had a great time." However, there was a hint of alienation in her voice.

Mu Qizong didn't seem to care about Lu Zhiran's coldness. He continued, "Zhiran, you are so beautiful tonight. This dress makes you even more charming." As he spoke, his eyes wandered over Lu Zhiran, as if he wanted to see through her.

Seeing this, Fu Yuzhang was furious. He stepped forward, stood in front of Lu Zhiran, and said coldly: "Mu Qizong, I hope you can pay attention to your words and deeds. Zhiran is my wife, not your target."

Mu Qizong was choked by Fu Yuzhang's words. He smiled awkwardly and tried to change the subject: "Yuzhang, what are you talking about? I just admire Zhiran's beauty, and I have no other intentions."

However, Fu Yuzhang was not fooled by his words. He knew Mu Qizong's character very well and knew that he would not give up. Therefore, he was more determined to protect Lu Zhiran.

Mu Qizong saw that he could not stay any longer, so he had to leave in dismay. His greed for Lu Zhiran did not subside, but became even more intense. However, he also knew that Fu Yuzhang was not easy to deal with, so he could only restrain his thoughts temporarily.

After Mu Qizong left, Fu Yuzhang turned to look at Lu Zhiran, his eyes full of tenderness and determination. He said softly: "Zhiran, no matter what happens, I will stay by your side. You don't have to worry about Mu Qizong causing you any trouble."

When Lu Zhiran heard this, a warm current surged in her heart. She looked at Fu Yuzhang's determined eyes and knew that she had found someone she could rely on. She nodded gently, snuggled in Fu Yuzhang's arms, and the two walked towards the mansion together.

On this night, the relationship between Fu Yuzhang and Lu Zhiran was further sublimated. They were more determined to spend the future together. No matter what challenges and difficulties they faced, they would go hand in hand and face them together.

The next morning, the sun shone through the window lattices into the house. It should have been a quiet and peaceful moment, but the sudden visit of Lu Zhiran's sister Lu Nianyao broke the tranquility.

As soon as Lu Nianyao entered the room, her face was terribly gloomy, and her eyes were flashing with anger. She walked angrily to Lu Zhiran and began to scold him mercilessly: "Lu Zhiran, you are so shameless! You actually flirted with your brother-in-law Mu Qizong. Do you still have me as your sister in your eyes? Do you know how embarrassing it will be for the family?"

Lu Zhiran was startled by her sister's sudden scolding. She quickly explained: "Sister, you misunderstood. There is nothing between Mu Qizong and me. We just say hello occasionally. I haven't done anything to let my family down."

However, Lu Nianyao did not believe her words. She continued to scold loudly: "Do you think I don't know? Last night at the Lantern Festival, the two of you walked so close and talked so happily. Do you think I'm blind? I tell you, you'd better restrain yourself and don't let me see you and Mu Qizong doing anything wrong again. Otherwise, I will kick you out of the house!"

Lu Zhiran was deeply hurt by her sister's words. She felt wronged and angry. She had done nothing wrong, but she was wronged and insulted by her sister. She couldn't help but retort: ​​"Sister, why do you say that to me? There is nothing wrong between Mu Qizong and me. Why do you think that I have an improper relationship with him?"

Seeing that her sister dared to talk back, Lu Nianyao became even more angry. She raised her hand and wanted to slap Lu Zhiran, but she finally held back. She took a deep breath and said coldly: "Lu Zhiran, you should take care of yourself. I don't want to see you and Mu Qizong have any contact again. If you don't listen to me again, don't blame me for being rude."

After saying that, Lu Nianyao turned and left, leaving Lu Zhiran standing alone in the room, her heart filled with bitterness and helplessness. She knew she had done nothing wrong, but she could not change her sister's misunderstanding and prejudice against her. She could only endure it all silently, hoping that one day she could prove her innocence.
