Courtyard House: Report enemy agents at the start, and you'll take off immediately.

"Come on, let's go over and take a look."

Out of curiosity, Zhao De wanted to know who the woman who was chatting with Sha Zhu was.

He and He Yushui quietly slipped to the window of the central courtyard.

When he saw the woman's face clearly, he was immediately taken aback—

Oh my goodness!

It was Qin Jingru!

Zhao De's expression turned serious.

He immediately thought of the scheme orchestrated by Qin Huairu.

They simply wanted Qin Jingru to marry Sha Zhu so that they could continue to use him in the future.

Then

Should he intervene and stop this?

Actually, the method is very simple; just follow Xu Damao's approach.

Unfortunately, Xu Damao has now disappeared without a trace.

Otherwise, he could have sent He Yushui to inform him, and he wouldn't have had to take action himself.

However, Zhao De then thought of the original drama.

Qin Jingru did indeed eventually distance herself from Qin Huairu.

If we can get Sha Zhu to marry Qin Jingru and completely sever ties with the Jia family...

Wouldn't Qin Huairu have lost both her wife and her army?

Zhao De pondered whether he could achieve this.

After all, he had said before that he had already made Sha Zhu, the prodigal son, turn over a new leaf.

But the safest approach is to let him get married and have children as soon as possible.

In this way, neither Yi Zhonghai, the Jia family, nor the deaf old lady could turn the tide.

Chapter Sixty-Seven: He Yushui Intercepts Qin Jingru!

However, Sha Zhu is not Xu Damao after all.

Zhao De suddenly remembered that the reason Qin Jingru was able to distance herself from Qin Huairu was because Xu Damao had been interfering, while Sha Zhu did not have the same methods as Xu Damao.

It seems we need to find a way to sabotage this.

Zhao De glanced at He Yushui beside him, and after a moment's thought, decided to let her walk out of the courtyard.

Looking at Brother Zhao walking ahead, He Yushui couldn't help but feel uneasy.

She could tell that Brother Zhao seemed to have something to tell her, and that she needed to leave the courtyard.

When they arrived at a corner outside the courtyard, Zhao De said to her directly, "Yushui, I know this woman. She is Qin Huairu's sister."

"what?"

As expected, He Yushui seemed very surprised.

To avoid He Yushui pressing him on how he recognized him, Zhao De steered the conversation in the direction of the question:

"Rain, think about it. What will happen if your brother really gets together with Qin Huairu's sister?"

He Yushui hesitated for a moment, then answered uncertainly, "It should still be the same as before, right?!"

Zhao De nodded in agreement: "That's right, just like before."

"At that time, you will again suffer from poor food and living conditions, and your life will remain impoverished."

"Your silly brother and Qin Huairu's family have taken all the good days."

Zhao De believed that He Yushui could understand the stakes involved.

Seeing He Yushui clench her fists, images of her past poverty flashed through her mind.

"Brother Zhao, what should I do?"

"We absolutely cannot let them be together!"

Zhao De gave her a suggestion: "Yu Shui, wait at the corner over there. If Qin Jingru comes out to use the restroom..."

"Find an opportunity to tell her that your brother and Qin Huairu have an ambiguous relationship."

"And we also have to support a large group of people... In short, the worst possible situation."

"In addition, you need to explain to her why Qin Huairu brought her to the blind date, Sha Zhu."

"The real purpose is to gain benefits. This point must be made clear."

"Mmm, I understand!"

After hearing this, He Yushui felt reassured and calmed down.

"As long as I do as you say, it'll be fine, right?"

He Yushui felt that simply speaking ill of someone wasn't enough to be safe, so she asked Zhao De if there were any other options.

Zhao De, drawing on Xu Damao's approach, suggested, "After you've said all that, just take Qin Jingru shopping at Wangfujing."

“She’s from the countryside, she’s definitely never seen a big city before, she’ll definitely go with you.”

"Tell her about it subtly while you're shopping."

"If she marries Sha Zhu, it means she will be a slave for the rest of her life, and she will have no chance to enjoy a good life or happiness."

Finally, we took her directly to the station and sent her back to her hometown.

Zhao De thought for a moment and then added, "Before you leave, don't forget to tell her that you will tell the matchmaker about her situation."

“Once a suitable family is found, the matchmaker will naturally come to her door.”

Seeing He Yushui nodding repeatedly like a chick pecking at rice, Zhao De still asked with concern, "Have you memorized everything?"

"remember!"

"Okay, then I'll go back first."

Zhao De originally planned to handle this matter personally, as it would be safer that way.

However, given the high risk, especially with the wedding approaching, it was deemed too risky.

If he were seen shopping with Qin Huairu's cousin and the news got back to the courtyard, it would be a huge problem.

So He Yushui waited aside as Zhao De instructed.

Zhao De returned to the courtyard, went into his house, and greeted his neighbors.

She came out carrying a bag of wedding candy.

"Second Aunt, please invite your whole family over for a nice meal tomorrow. I won't say anything else, there's plenty of meat!"

"Of course I have to come!"

Zhao De first went to Liu Haizhong's home.

They threw a handful of wedding candies on their table and invited them to the banquet the next day.

Next, he went to Aunt Liu's house in the backyard.

"Aunt Liu, there will definitely be enough meat for us tomorrow!"

"You're too kind. I'll definitely be there tomorrow."

To be honest, even without the guarantee of a sufficient amount of meat, receiving Zhao De's invitation was already quite a show of respect.

After all, Zhao De's status and position are now extraordinary, and maintaining a good relationship with him will only be beneficial.

So Zhao De went through the backyard to the middle yard, and then went to the front yard.

Although he was handing out wedding candy and inviting neighbors and friends.

But Zhao De's eyes remained fixed on the situation at Sha Zhu's house.

He saw Qin Jingru come out as soon as he came out of Yan Bugui's house.

The two met face to face, glanced at each other, Zhao De smiled and nodded in acknowledgment, and then walked towards the backyard.

Once the two had some distance between them, Zhao De turned around and quietly followed behind Qin Jingru.

Only after seeing He Yushui pull Qin Jingru aside to talk did he feel relieved and leave.

What is Zhao De doing?

Yan Jiecheng watched Zhao De leave and then return, feeling somewhat puzzled.

However, his attention was quickly diverted as his aunt continued to persuade him, "Jiecheng, just go tomorrow. There will definitely be enough meat. There's nothing to be embarrassed about!"

"No, I won't go."

Yan Jiecheng shook his head resolutely, refusing to attend tomorrow's banquet even if it meant dying.

After all, seeing Yu Li and Zhao De's beaming happiness would cause him immense pain.
