shock!Jian Zun she is in the interstellar machine armor

At that time, she had wondered why there were such outrageous regulations in the laws of the empire, until she met several girls who had a similar experience to her and were forced to marry cousins ​​of the same race, and she had an epiphany.

The law is nothing more than the rules of the game for the superior to restrain the inferior.

So Jiang Youning resolutely boarded the adoptive marriage boat.

Maybe...she could give it another try and win her freedom?
Jiang Youning was so lost in thought that he didn't notice that the cedar next to him swayed, and some white snow fell down and sprinkled on the ground.

"Snapped"

A black shadow suddenly fell from the tree. He patted the snow on his body neatly and turned to look at Jiang Youning who looked confused.

Jiang Youning was startled by the sudden appearance of the person in front of him, and immediately looked warily at the tree from which the other person jumped.

According to normal people's hearing, it shouldn't be a problem, but what if this person in front of me...

She opened up and asked, "Did you hear that?"

Yan Zhou took off his snow-stained hat and shook it. Hearing this, he raised his eyebrows slightly, looked at her and asked:
"Which part are you referring to?"

This was an answer Jiang Youning didn't expect. She opened her mouth, not knowing what to reply.

"Aren't you going to hunt? In this winter, only certain kinds of animals are willing to come out, so I found a location with a good view to take a look."

Yan Zhou put on his hat again, turned around and walked forward with his hunting gun in hand.

Jiang Youning was stunned for a moment, then followed behind him.

……

The two completely forgot about Jiang Huaizhao's existence and walked alone.

Suddenly, Yan Zhou stopped and pointed his gun at a location in the grass.

Aim, shoot.

The guns used for winter hunting are all old-fashioned bullets, saying that they want to restore the traditional hunting atmosphere of ancient times.

The bullet hit an object with a "bang" sound.

Yan Zhou put down his gun, put on his gloves, stepped forward and pulled apart the grass, and pulled out a white fox from inside.

Snow fox is a creature that easily appears in the winter forest.

Jiang Youning was startled by the gunshot. When he saw Yan Zhou dragging an object out of it, he boldly stepped forward to check it out.

I was a little surprised when I saw it was a snow fox.

In her daily life, she rarely has the opportunity to contact wild animals, let alone hunting.

Jiang Youning noticed the traces of penetration into the back of Xuehu's head, and gained a new understanding of Yan Zhou's accuracy.

Yan Zhou was about to put the prey into the temporary space bracelet for storage, when he happened to turn his head to look at Jiang Youning, who was staring straight at Xue Hu, and made a questioning sound.

"Do you like it?"

"That's for you."

After that, she handed Jiang Youning the body of the snow fox that had not been put in yet.

Jiang Youning was a little confused. He looked directly at Xue Hu, who was still dead, and accepted the bloody gift with trembling hands.

Seeing that the other party was not in good condition, Yan Zhou continued: "Although the meat of animals now contains toxins and cannot be eaten, the snow fox skin can still be used after treatment."

Listening to Yan Zhou's emotionless and bland words, Jiang Youning finally spoke, his tone unprecedentedly curious:
"You...are really very different from the aristocratic families I have met before. Have you hunted before?"

Yan Zhou's footsteps hesitated, but only for a moment.

She replied in a relaxed tone: "I have fought several times, and Gaia School has an organization every year. As for you saying that I am different...the reason is very simple, because I am not a child of aristocratic family."

Jiang Youning frowned: "Organized every year? With all due respect, this kind of activity will damage the environment."

Yan Zhou: "There is a limit on the number of animals each year. No more than six herbivores and no more than three carnivores. If you exceed one visit to Huixiti Prison, your work will be restricted."

Jiang Youning heard this kind of law for the first time and asked, "Is this a rule of Gaia?"

"No, it was promulgated by my mother after she came to power. Before... it was true that uncontrolled hunting caused ecological imbalance." Yan Zhou answered all questions, speaking in a slow and powerful manner.

Jiang Youning was silent for a while and said, "I thought you would hate me."

Yan Zhou was stunned and asked, "Why should I hate you?"

Jiang Youning smiled: "After all, no one likes a sudden and inexplicable marriage, especially...you who have true love."

The last sentence had an obviously teasing tone.

Yan Zhou smiled: "I won't hate someone casually, not to mention you haven't done anything bad yourself, right?"

Jiang Youning was speechless, paused and then said:
"You clearly know about the mecha master exchange meeting..."

"Isn't that what Jiang Huaizhao forced you to do?"

Yan Zhou looked straight at the girl, his eyes filled with meaning.

Jiang Youning slightly curved the corners of his lips.

Yan Zhou did not hunt again after that, and the two of them walked in tandem tacitly.

Finally, Jiang Youning couldn't help but say:
"Aren't you curious about the purpose of the Jiang family's marriage?"

Yan Zhou: "I'm curious. Will you tell me?"

Jiang Youning:......

This was the first time she was at a loss for words. Sure enough, any roundabout attempts could not withstand the opponent's direct attack.

She took a deep breath and continued: "Actually, we will be very good partners."

"With the help of marriage, each can get what he needs without actually getting married."

Yan Zhou caught a glimpse of Jiang Youning's serious expression and knew that this was what the other party really thought, so he said:

"You really want to protect your parents' inheritance through marriage. I remember there is such a clause in the empire's laws..."

Jiang Youning held his breath.

“If a member of the same clan adopts a direct relative within three generations and forms a marital relationship with their own child, they can reasonably share all property.”

Yan Zhou lowered his eyes: "As the eldest son, Jiang Huaizhao has a lofty status and unlimited resources. Naturally, there is no need for this, but the side branches are different. They are like greedy wolves who see fat... They want to wipe out the inheritance left by your parents. , and even encouraged his own son..."

Yan Zhou didn't tell the whole story, leaving room for the other party.

In that situation surrounded by wolves, it is self-evident what Jiang Youning will encounter.

Jiang Youning closed his eyes.

In the darkness, she seemed to see those ugly faces that were disgusting and even almost insulted her by drugging her.

That period... was the darkest moment of her life.

So even if Jiang Huaizhao repeatedly attacked him verbally later, Jiang Youning didn't care much.

After all, compared to the frightening days of the past, just being verbally attacked was already very good.

but---

She opened her eyes again, her eyes deep.

I'm still a little bit dissatisfied...

I couldn't bear to think that my parents' lifelong efforts would be used to support Jiang's family.

She must find a breakthrough to stop the Jiang family from touching her things...

This breakthrough point is the person in front of you.

Yan Zhou saw that the girl had been speechless and knew that what he had just said was rather abrupt, so he did not rush her and stood still waiting.

"My parents were once favored by Mrs. Xi."
