Lu Xuan did not see Su Zhiliu when he returned home. Only after asking the servants in the mansion did he find out that she was still at her parents' house and had not returned.
"Is there nothing wrong with the Su family?" Lu Xuan asked.
The servant replied: "I heard that a relative came to the house."
Lu Xuan changed into home clothes, asked the housekeeper to prepare a gift, and took a carriage to the Su's house.
Su Sheng also went home, met Xiao Zhen, listened to what she said, discussed with Mrs. Xiao, and took the couple to live in the house.
Xiao Zhen and his wife came to the capital this time mainly to seek medical treatment from a good doctor for Xiao Zhen's husband. They did not have a house in the capital, and as the daughter of the Xiao family, Xiao could not ignore them.
"Master, my uncle is here." The butler brought Lu Xuan in.
Su Sheng quickly greeted Lu Xuan: "Are you here to pick up Liu'er?"
Lu Xuan smiled and said: "I heard that there are guests at home, I came to recognize them."
"That's right, you haven't met the relatives of the Xiao family yet." Su Sheng took Lu Xuan to the guest room where Xiao Zhen and Luo Chenzhou lived.
Mrs. Xiao and Su Zhiliu were still talking to Xiao Zhen here. When they heard that Lu Xuan was coming, Mrs. Xiao said to Su Zhiliu: "I asked you to go back a long time ago. You must be worried when my son-in-law doesn't see you when he comes home. Look, this
Aren't you here? You, you, always make people worry less."
"It's okay, mother." Su Zhiliu saw Lu Xuan entering the door and strode towards him.
Lu Xuan smiled at her: "I've heard you say that the cook at home is good at cooking. I'm here to help with the meal."
Su Zhiliu introduced Xiao Zhen to Lu Xuan. As for Luo Chenzhou, who was lying on the hospital bed, Su Sheng took him to see him.
"What did the doctor say?"
"Hey, tuberculosis." Su Sheng said, "I'm afraid I won't last long."
When leaving the house, Su Sheng told the truth.
After dinner, Lu Xuan took Su Zhiliu home.
Xiao Zhen said to Mrs. Xiao: "My cousin is lucky. Seeing how much Mr. Lu Xuan loves her, it's like falling into a honey pot, unlike me..."
"Zhen'er, have you ever thought about what to do in the future?" Ms. Xiao asked her.
"I have been married to him for many years but we have no children. If he leaves, I will not go back. I want to stay in the capital." Xiao Zhen hugged Mrs. Xiao's arm, "Aunt, please help me."
"After all, you are a girl from the Xiao family and a woman from the Luo family. How can you always stay with your aunt? I suggest you discuss it with your family."
"My aunt just doesn't want to help me."
"I can't decide your family's affairs."
In the carriage, Su Zhiliu rubbed his eyes, looking tired.
Lu Xuan put her head on his shoulder: "Take a moment and I'll call you when you get there."
Su Zhiliu hummed and closed his eyes.
After closing her eyes, she couldn't fall asleep. Lu Xuan's breath was in her nose, and the images of Lu Xuan's love for her were in her mind.
She thought of the letter Chu Ningzhu replied.
In her reply, she expressed her blessings to them, but she felt that their long-standing sisterly friendship had finally changed, and she was just speaking in a bureaucratic, distant tone.
"Why are you sighing?" Lu Xuan asked.
Su Zhiliu didn't expect that he would reveal her emotions so easily and be noticed by him. Of course she couldn't tell the truth. Telling it would only make their relationship awkward.
"I'm worried about my cousin-in-law." Su Zhiliu said, "His condition is not optimistic."
"Your cousin came to the capital to try her luck just because she had nothing to do. I saw that her expression was normal, without any trace of sadness. She must have expected such a result."
"Um."
"So don't feel sorry for her. This is life, you can't escape."
"Husband." Su Zhiliu looked at Lu Xuan, "Why are you so kind to me?"
Lu Xuan was surprised: "Is there a problem?"
"Of course." Su Zhiliu pursed his lips, "Before we got married, we had almost no contact. Our family arranged for us to get married, and you just agreed. That's all, you are so good to me. If you married someone else,
, will you treat her like this?"
Lu Xuan: "..."
A few years ago, he would have said 'yes'.
Since you married the other person, you must treat her well.
But now...
He knew this was the wrong answer.
"If it were someone else, I wouldn't marry her." Lu Xuan took Su Zhiliu's hand, "My brother has introduced me to many women, but I have never met them. Only when I mention you, I feel...
There is something pulling me towards you. I saw a sentence in a book, which said that people are destined to each other as soon as they are born, and everyone's fate has been decided long ago. You are destined to be my wife, so you said
Marrying someone else is impossible."
Su Zhiliu lay on his shoulder: "You are right."
Lu Xuan let out a breath.
Sure enough, the sister-in-law was right. The woman's death question must be answered well. If the answer is not good, she will be unhappy, and he will not be happy either.
During the Chinese New Year, the court will take a five-day bath.
Of course, in order to maintain order, this bathing break is also in rotation, and it is impossible for everyone to take a bath together.
This is still somewhat humane.
The Lu family likes family gatherings the most, so taking advantage of this time, everyone in the Lu family went to the resort. Firstly, you can soak in hot springs there, and secondly, there are many entertainment options there.
The snow was falling harder and harder, covering the ground with a thick white carpet.
Lu Zhiyun lay in front of the window, reaching out to catch the snowflakes.
In the house opposite, the window was opened, and Xie Chengjin was lying in front of the window looking at her.
"Why is he here?"
Xie Chengjin returned to the house.
Lu Zhiyun was about to close the window when she saw him coming over with an arrow.
Phew! The arrow flew into her room.
She picked up the arrow and saw a note tied to it. She opened it and read a few words written on it: "Going up the mountain to play?"
Lu Zhiyun shook her head.
Dad said that she is no longer a child and must keep a distance from her husband.
Xie Chengjin shot another arrow over.
There is still a piece of paper with a few words written on it: Horseback riding?
Lu Zhiyun hesitated.
She hasn't been with Rouge for a long time.
Mu Siyu and Su Zhiliu enjoyed the snow scenery, drank juice and ate snacks.
"Where is Xiao Yun'er?" Mu Siyu asked Shang Zhi next to him.
Shang Zhi said: "When the young lady first got off the carriage, she said she was a little sleepy and wanted to rest in the room for a while. Now she doesn't know what she is doing. I will send someone to ask immediately."
Not long after, the servant came back and said, "The lady is riding a horse at the racecourse."
"She's alone?"
"No, with Prince Wu'an."
Su Zhiliu said: "Does this Prince Xie often hang around Xiao Yun'er?"
"Indeed, I see him often." Mu Siyu said, "There are many servants in the racecourse, and there are also many guests coming and going, so there is nothing to worry about."
Not long after, Jiang Yimeng walked in: "Madam, suddenly a wave of officers and soldiers came and took Prince Xie away."
Mu Siyu was shocked: "Why?"
"I don't know about this either. However, they are from the Dark Law Department." Jiang Yimeng said, "The guests were disturbed, many guests left, and the situation was a bit out of control."
