In the small building of the hot spring pool, lights are bright everywhere.
Lights were hung outside the courtyard and the courtyard door was closed. However, security was strictly enforced throughout the courtyard and there were hidden sentries everywhere.
Suddenly, Qian Liangcai hurriedly ran inside and went upstairs again, making a rushing sound.
Wang Xiu, who heard the commotion, walked out of the room and stood in the corridor waiting for him.
"What's wrong? What's the emergency?"
Qian Liangcai stopped running up and stood on the stairs and said, "It's Zhang Jiasanlang who is here, right outside."
When Wang Xiu heard this, he couldn't help but laugh.
She knew that since she was a thoughtful person, how could she be insincere?
She said to Qian Liangcai: "Take him to sit in the tea room, and then go and invite the older girl."
Qian Liangcai was stunned and said in surprise: "Isn't this against the rules?"
Wang Xiudao: "Just listen to me. Whether it's in compliance with the rules or not, the big girl has the final say."
Qian Liangcai understood and quickly went down to make arrangements.
As soon as he left, Wang Xiu turned around and entered the house.
The eldest princess held the child in her arms and joked with a smile: "You are such a dedicated sister-in-law that you even took on the job of matchmaker."
Wang Xiudao: "As long as your highness doesn't mind."
The eldest princess looked at the child in her arms and said with a satisfied look on her face: "Since I had the child, I have become tolerant of many things. The same goes for love. I even thought that if I had been more generous back then, I would have been able to help them."
alright."
Wang Xiu said silently, "They" in the eldest princess's mouth refer to the divorced Cao family's Erlang and his weak cousin.
Seeing that Wang Xiu didn't speak, the eldest princess sneered again: "But now I haven't heard any news about their marriage. I'm afraid that as you said, their sincerity has been wiped out long ago."
Wang Xiudao: "Many people are like this. When they don't get something, they always feel indebted, guilty, and have feelings that cannot be faced squarely. But after they get it, they find that the sincere person is not a sincere person, but just plots for fame and status.
When the debt and guilt in my heart no longer exist, how much emotion can be maintained?"
"but……"
Wang Xiu smiled, as if he understood.
The eldest princess became interested and asked: "But what?"
Wang Xiudao: "But if we really like each other, we have to be together. So what's the problem if the sincerity is mixed with calculations? There is a kind of person in the world who only cares about the results. Even if the other party uses him and hurts him, as long as the result is good, as long as he is thinking about it.
If people also love him, then all calculations and uses are just means of flirting with each other and are insignificant."
The eldest princess hummed: "Are you talking about you and Lu Yunhong?"
Wang Xiu was stunned, and then objected: "How could it be possible? We are not that perverted!"
The eldest princess was puzzled: "Pervert?"
Wang Xiu explained with a smile: "It's just crazy."
"The pain in the world is not universal, but most of the feelings are common. For example, His Highness loves his son, and would rather be tired and toiled than hold him in his arms and coax him. In the same way, would Your Highness hurt his own child?"
The eldest princess affirmed: "Of course not."
Wang Xiudao: "So most people who love each other are happy because they know how to cherish and care for each other, so calculations and harm no longer exist."
The eldest princess suddenly realized, but continued to tease Wang Xiudao: "After talking for a long time, you just want to tell me that you and Lu Yunhong are very happy. But don't forget that the Lu family has no power now. Lu Yunhong travels everywhere, and he can't rely on it.
He is the son-in-law of the Wang family. Do you think he has no plans in this?"
Wang Xiudao: "If he needs it and I can provide it, I think it shouldn't be called calculation, but mutual reliance."
"For example, when I go to bed at night and can't sleep, I just want him to hold me. It's not that he can't do it, it doesn't mean that he doesn't do it willingly, and it doesn't mean that he coaxes me gently."
"At this time, I will also deliberately act coquettishly, cheat or ask him to coax me. It may not always be sincere when I need him, but I just need him to protect me."
The eldest princess looked at Wang Xiu with difficulty, endured it, and cursed in a low voice: "I have never seen anyone as shameless as you..."
Wang Xiu: "..."???
Seeing that she didn't understand why, the eldest princess continued to scold: "If you show affection like this, you will definitely not survive a day in the palace!!"
Wang Xiu: "..."???
How difficult is the life of the ladies in the palace...?
…
The Zhang family sent people to propose marriage. In addition to the matchmaker, the Zhang family elders and Bai Xiuzhu, the magistrate of Taizhou, were also present. However, Lu Shouchang and Chen felt that it was not too serious that such rumors were spread when the two families were discussing marriage.
good.
They were worried that the Zhang family came to propose marriage because of their reputation and integrity, so they declined and asked the Zhang family to think about it carefully.
After Bai Xiuzhu and the Zhang family elders returned to Taizhou, the Zhang family felt regretful and angry, and blamed the Leng family.
Zhang Jiaxu rushed to Wuxi overnight. He was not impulsive and did not want to give up. He rushed to Qingquan Village without stopping, only to learn that Lu Yunran was not in Qingquan Village at all.
Fortunately, Mrs. Lu was a kind-hearted person and told him that Lu Yunran had come to the hot spring building, so he found it after wandering around.
But it's already very late now, and I don't know if Lu Yunran will see him if he interrupts abruptly?
Zhang Jiaxu was warming himself in the tea room, holding hot tea in his hand, his expression cold and tense.
Suddenly, there were footsteps outside the door.
Zhang Jiaxu stood up suddenly, accidentally spilling the hot tea in his hand and soaking his pants.
But he didn't care, he just raised his head and looked towards the door.
Lu Yunran was wearing an orange dress, with apricot eyes like water, looking at him with full eyes.
Zhang Jiaxu felt that the pain in his leg was nothing, and he quickly stepped forward.
"Yun Ran, are you here?"
Lu Yunran saw the water stains on his legs and asked in a low voice: "Does it hurt?"
Zhang Jiaxu lied to her and said, "I've been here for a while. The tea is warm, not hot."
Lu Yunran said: "I'll ask them to send you a set of clean clothes."
When she turned around, Zhang Jiaxu suddenly hugged her from behind, scaring her so much that she almost screamed.
But soon, she discovered that Zhang Jiaxu's hand was folded over hers. He just hugged her and didn't do anything out of the ordinary.
Lu Yunran, who had never been so close to a man, felt uneasy and scolded: "Let go quickly, or I will call someone."
Zhang Jiaxu broke the jar and said in a hoarse voice: "You can scream, I've been riding all the way and haven't slept a wink all day and night, and I'm not far from death."
Lu Yunran's heart sank when he heard this, and he quickly asked: "What's going on? You didn't come with them?"
Zhang Jiaxu said: "They are a marriage proposal team. Before the marriage is decided, the groom cannot cause trouble. The main reason is that I am afraid that you will see me ugly and refuse to agree to the marriage."
"puff."
"What did you say?"
Lu Yunran broke away from his arms and turned to glare at him.
Zhang Jiaxu said sadly: "It's true, so I'm waiting anxiously at home. Who knew I'd be waiting for news that you don't want."
"You don't know, I almost wanted to make a big kite and fly it, but I was afraid that I would fall to death on the way and not see you, so I chose to ride a horse."
"But I didn't see you when I rushed to Qingquan Village. It was your mother who took pity on me and showed me the way."
"Come here, your sister-in-law, please ask my servants to lead me in. Otherwise, how can someone like me come in where the eldest princess lives?"
"Yun Ran, I'm sincere. If I have even the slightest bad intention and am interested in the power of your sister-in-law's family and the protection of the Lu family by the eldest princess, then I will be struck by lightning and die a good death.
"
Lu Yunran looked at Zhang Jiaxu, who was vowing to do so, and his eyes gradually turned red, thinking that this journey had not been easy.
