But through the quilt, she couldn't see what was going on inside.
She looked at Lu Xuan's face again, and found nothing unusual except for being a little pale.
"Why are you here?" Lu Xuan looked at her.
"I heard that you were injured and wanted to see you." Chu Ningzhu took out a medicine bottle from her arms, "This is the medicine I got from the imperial doctor. It is very useful for trauma."
"Thank you." Lu Xuan said, "But you shouldn't come."
"Can I see your injury?" Chu Ningzhu's eyes were red and her voice became more choked up.
"It's inconvenient." Lu Xuan said calmly, "Men and women cannot be intimate."
"You can think of me as Chu Ling, just like before..."
"I didn't know you were a girl at first. Fortunately, you didn't do anything outrageous. Otherwise... I was wrong at the beginning. Now I know it was wrong. I won't make that mistake again." Lu Xuan looked at Chu Ningzhu, "I know you
Why are you here? You don’t have to feel guilty, this matter has nothing to do with you.”
"How come it doesn't matter?" Chu Ningzhu murmured, "If it weren't for me..."
"You've seen it. As you can see, I'm just injured and it will heal over time. It's nothing serious." Lu Xuan interrupted her, "Go back!"
"I'm sorry," Chu Ningzhu said, "I don't know what to do. Geng Qianjun is not someone I can afford to offend. I want to vent my anger on you, but..."
"No need." Lu Xuan lowered his eyes, "However, as a friend, I still remind you that the Chu family does not have to be in the Fenyang Palace. You actually have other choices. This Geng Qianjun is not a good person. You marry him.
There will be no good results. Before it's too late, talk to your family and try to find a different marriage."
"Will you marry me?" Chu Ningzhu grabbed the corner of her clothes and mustered up the courage to ask.
Lu Xuan looked at her in surprise.
Chu Ningzhu was embarrassed. She couldn't wait for his answer and felt that she couldn't lose face.
"You know, I like you."
"It's impossible for you and me to have different identities." Lu Xuan frowned.
Does he like Chu Ningzhu?
Of course I like it.
It is impossible to say that he is not tempted at all. After all, before he knew that she was a girl, he regarded 'Chu Ling' as a very good friend, and the two got along well with each other. When he learned that she was a girl, he first
I was surprised by her boldness, and thinking about every detail of the two getting along, I was also moved by it.
but……
He knew very clearly that the identities of the two were not equal, so this was a dead end with no result at all.
"Actually, there is a way. If I get a disease, a very serious disease, the Fenyang Palace will definitely not want such a daughter-in-law, and the marriage will be canceled by then. If my disease continues to be bad and becomes disastrous,
No one is willing to marry me. If you are willing to marry me, my parents might be willing to marry me to you."
"How many people do you think will bless this calculated marriage? Even if I successfully marry you as you said, your family will not look down on me. After all, I am not the son-in-law they like. Chu Chu, you are a good person.
A girl, but there is no fate between us, so... don't do such stupid things in the future. If you meet a bad person, you will suffer. I will send someone to take you back. "
It took all Chu Ningzhu's courage to say what she just said.
For a lady from a wealthy family, taking the initiative to show love to a man and saying that she wants to marry him is simply losing her pride, only to be rejected by him unexpectedly.
"Would you rather marry that Miao girl than me?" Chu Ningzhu turned and left angrily.
"Master..." The attendant walked in.
"Send someone to take her back secretly and watch her come back after entering the house." Lu Xuan said, "It's so late, I don't worry."
After Chu Ningzhu left, Lu Xuan could no longer read a word.
The leg injury hurt so much that he couldn't sleep.
"Someone is coming..."
"master……"
"Bring me some wine." Lu Xuan said, "The doctor said, you'll be fine if you drink a little in moderation."
Lu Xuan was injured. This incident was like a leaf falling into the lake. The ripples it caused did not attract anyone's attention.
His official position is low and he is a sinecure, so who takes him seriously?
However, his injury was so severe that he couldn't get out of bed for several months, and he might not be able to keep his official position.
Sure enough, on the fifth day, Lu Xuan received a letter of dismissal from office.
When Mu Siyu heard about this incident, she stayed in Lu Xuan's courtyard all day long. In addition to keeping an eye on the servant's cooking, she also had to serve him food and drinks and keep an eye on his recovery.
"Sister-in-law, you stay at my place all day, and you don't care about my brother's place?" Lu Xuan didn't seem to be affected, and he was still joking with Mu Siyu.
"Your brother has been busy all day." Mu Siyu found a seat and sat down, holding walnuts with a pair of tongs. "Do you think your brother has someone outside? Hey, a man, with power and money.
, of course I will have a new love. Now that I am old and yellow, I will definitely not be welcomed by him."
Boom!
Someone knocked on the window lattice.
There are two windows in this room, and the one next to her happens to be closed.
She opened the window and saw Lu Yi standing there looking at her with a half-smile.
"Ma'am, are you talking about me?"
"Why did you come back so early today?" Mu Siyu was surprised.
"Probably I don't want my wife to think that I dislike my wife!" Lu Yi walked in from the front door, "How is Brother Xuan? Let me see the wound."
He lifted the quilt and checked Lu Xuan's wounds.
"Recovering well." Lu Yi said, "Don't worry, you will always recover as before. The scars on my face were very deep at first, but after taking this medicine, not even a trace was left. By the way, I will be back today.
It's early, I want to chat with you."
"you say."
Mu Siyu didn't want to hear them talk about boring political affairs between the DPRK and China, so she went to the kitchen with peeled walnuts, planning to make snacks for the children.
"The store affairs have been arranged. Brother Kite and the others have prepared the first batch of goods and are waiting for the opening." Ziyuan reported the recent progress to Mu Siyu.
Zisu and Ziyuan can help her with some trivial matters, so she has time to take care of Lu Xuan.
"Should we make the opening ceremony more lively this time?" Zi Su asked.
"No way." Mu Siyu said, "Our goods are good, and the Dream Home sign has been around for a long time, and many people know about it. Let's hang up the sign, get some leaflets, and distribute them.
There’s no need to do anything else.”
"You can't do anything like discounts or gifts?" Zi Su asked, "When we opened, the whole city knew about it!"
"At that time, we had the final say in the whole of Shanghai and North City. Now in the capital, everything should be kept low-key and just make a fortune in silence." Mu Siyu said, "There is no need for discounts. You can give gifts."
