Lu Yi was summoned by King Zhong and did not come back until midnight.
Mu Siyu was not idle, and held a summary meeting with all the employees of the branch. Awards were given to the employees who performed particularly well during this period, and then everyone had a lively hot pot.
When Lu Yi came back, Mu Siyu leaned crookedly against the pillar, swatted Zi Su away and tried to hold her hand, and said confusedly: "I can walk by myself."
"Madam, you can walk, but you have been walking in this yard for half an hour." Zi Su was about to cry, "Madam, you can't drink. Don't drink so much in the future."
"I'll do it!" Lu Yi said to Zi Su.
"Master, you are finally back." Seeing Lu Yi, Zi Su breathed a sigh of relief. "Then go and make some hangover soup."
"No need, she won't drink even if it's cooked now, you go and have a rest!" After Lu Yi said that, he picked up Mu Siyu.
Mu Siyu hugged Lu Yi's neck, looked at him and said, "You look so familiar. Have you seen him somewhere?"
"Maybe I've seen it in my dream?" Lu Yi coaxed her.
The next day, everyone packed up and returned to Hubei City.
Zheng Shuyu held Mu Siyu's hand and kept saying: "I have learned a lot from you these days. I rarely admire anyone, but you are definitely one of them. Siyu, promise me, you will never become someone who lives in the back house."
Woman, you must shine as brightly as you do now, as dazzling as the sun.”
"You are also someone I admire." Mu Siyu said, "Don't worry, I am a very restless person. If I were asked to stay in the back house and be a good wife and mother, I might go crazy in a few days."
"Your man can't wait any longer, so I won't say any more. I'll meet you when I return to Hubei City." Zheng Shuyu waved.
When the carriage passed by the 'Only One', Mu Siyu thought about the box and called out: "Zisu."
"Yes." Zisu responded outside.
"Go and tell Boss Qi. I will continue to study the lock pattern on his box. If there is any follow-up, I will write to him again."
Not long after, Zi Su brought back the news: "Madam, Boss Qi is not here. According to the shopkeeper, he left Suzhou City first."
"Okay then!" Mu Siyu put the matter down.
Lu Yi took her hand and said, "You have lost a lot of weight."
"A lot of things have indeed happened recently." Mu Siyu leaned into his arms, "But it's okay, I'm used to it. A lot of things happened, but I also made a lot of money. After all, no one can get something for nothing."
Lu Yi stroked Mu Siyu's hair.
Mu Siyu grabbed his palm and looked at the new scar on it.
"How did you get hurt?"
"This is the bandit suppression." Lu Yi didn't hide anything from her, "It's okay, the scabs have formed."
Mu Siyu took it and blew on it, as if this could relieve his pain.
Lu Yi lowered his head and kissed her forehead: "There is a ball of blue under your eyes. You haven't slept well recently, have you? Get some sleep."
Mu Siyu closed her eyes.
There were familiar people around me, and there was a familiar smell in the air, and my whole body was finally no longer tense.
Xia Kun rode his horse close to the carriage: "As expected, King Zhong was assassinated just after he left Suzhou City."
"It seems that King Zhong will make big moves when he returns to the capital this time." Lu Yi said calmly, "Have your people been properly arranged?"
"Don't worry, the mantis stalks the cicada and the oriole is behind. Those assassins are all under our surveillance."
"Thanks for your hard work."
Mu Siyu vaguely heard many sounds, but could not make out what they were saying. As Lu Yi said, she was really too sleepy, and even thunder would not wake her up.
A few days later, they arrived in Hubei City.
I haven’t been back for half a year, and when I look at Shanghai North City again, I always feel that it is familiar yet strange, and many places have changed.
"There were no houses there when I left."
"Yes, it's newly built." Lu Yi opened the curtain and followed her line of sight.
"The house over there is even more dilapidated." Mu Siyu pointed in another direction.
"The houses in the slum area are all dilapidated, and there are not many households left now. I simply bought it. The people who originally lived there received subsidies from the government and found other places for them to live."
"If you haven't figured out what to do, why not leave it to me?" Mu Siyu said, "I have an idea."
"Go home and rest first. If you have any ideas, we'll talk about it tomorrow." Lu Yi refused to answer.
Mu Siyu hugged Lu Yi's arm: "Husband..."
"There's no point in acting coquettishly. Look how tired you are on this journey, and you still don't know how to cherish your own body." Lu Yi frowned.
The carriage stopped in the backyard of the county government office.
"Mother..." Lu Zhiyun ran over wearing a pink dress. "Mother..."
As soon as Mu Siyu got off the carriage, she saw Lu Zhiyun running over, trotted over to greet her, and picked up Lu Zhiyun.
Lu Shaoyu and Mu Zhenghan watched from not far away.
Mrs. Tong and Dr. Zhu are also there.
An Yu walked towards Xia Kun and looked at him shyly.
Xia Kun touched An Yu's cheek and pulled her towards the backyard.
Phew! Lu Zhiqian laughed sullenly.
As expected of Brother Kun, he doesn’t know how to hide it.
"I'm finally back," Mrs. Tong said, "Xiaoyun'er talks about you every day, and recently she even put needles on her hands. Master Fan couldn't stand it, so he specially gave her a few days' leave to adjust before going back.
"
Mu Siyu took Lu Zhiyun's little hand and looked at it, frowning: "Does it hurt?"
Lu Zhiyun acted coquettishly: "It doesn't hurt when mom is away, but it hurts when mom comes back."
"Look at this little mouth, who would not love her?" Tong said.
"I have prepared a gift for you." Mu Siyu said, "I will show it to you later."
"Look now..."
The family went to the lobby in a lively manner.
Mu Siyu took the opportunity to distribute the gifts to everyone.
Lu Yi sent someone to call Lu Xuan back. Lu Xuan didn't come back alone, he also brought back a young boy named Chu Ling.
That night, the whole family had a lively gathering.
"Mom, you can sleep with me today!" Lu Zhiyun pulled Mu Siyu and held on.
Lu Shaoyu coughed lightly: "You are so old, and you still sleep with your mother."
"I miss my mother." Lu Zhiyun pouted.
Lu Shaoyu pulled Lu Zhiyun away and asked her in a low voice: "Do you want a younger brother or younger sister?"
Lu Zhiyun blinked and nodded gently.
"Dad hasn't seen mom for a long time. If you don't let mom go back to dad's place, when will we have younger siblings?" Lu Shaoyu poked Lu Zhiyun on the forehead, "Mom won't be leaving anyway, why are you anxious?"
Seeing that the two of them were acting mysteriously, Mu Siyu turned around and asked Lu Yi, "What is your son trying to do with Xiao Yun'er again?"
Lu Yi took Mu Siyu's hand and said to Lu Zhiyun and Lu Shaoyu: "Your mother is tired from the long journey, so I will take her back to rest first. When your mother has had enough rest in the past few days, you can play with her again."
Lu Zhiyun still wanted Mu Siyu, but when she saw them leaving, her face fell, looking unhappy.
"Okay, my brother will buy you osmanthus cake to eat tomorrow." Lu Shaoyu touched Lu Zhiyun's head.
Lu Zhiyun looked at him sadly: "We are twins, but you are much taller than me. I suspect that you always touch my head, so you touch me the shorter one."
Lu Shaoyu hesitated for a moment and asked, "Does your Master Fan only teach you embroidery?"
"Otherwise?" Lu Zhiyun didn't know why.
"I think... we should let you read more books to replenish your brain." Lu Shaoyu said.
