Lu Xingyue sat down quietly in the wheelchair, listening to Shen Lansui's teachings, and waited until she finished speaking before saying, "I understand."
"Should I push you back?" Shen Lansui asked tentatively.
For some reason, she felt that Lu Xingyue seemed to be more talkative than usual today.
Sure enough, Lu Xingyue nodded and said warmly, "Thank you."
Zhou Quan stretched out his hand and then retracted it, then he stepped aside and said, "Madam, please——"
He watched helplessly as Shen Lansui pushed Lu Xingyue to the side road, and secretly sighed that it was really not easy for him to do this job. Not only did he have to have good looks, but he also had to be eloquent. Otherwise, if he accidentally revealed his secret, he would be in trouble for the rest of his life. I can't come back from Jinyiwei.
Watching the spring and enjoying the summer followed behind, not even daring to say anything.
The breeze blows, and the garden is covered with fallen flowers. If you walk through it, if you don't pay attention, you will be covered with lingering fragrance.
Shen Lan slowly let out the depression she had accumulated in the eldest lady, and enjoyed the beautiful scenery with great interest.
"Today is not Xiu Mu." Lu Xingyue suddenly said.
Shen Lansui blinked, was he talking to her?
She leaned over slightly and asked, "What's wrong if it's not Xiu Mu?"
The steps on his temples swayed slightly, and the shadow fell on Lu Xingyue's legs, right next to his fingers. He subconsciously moved his fingers and then restrained himself.
"If it weren't for Xiu Mu, it's not time for him to take off his duty yet." Lu Xingyue's eyes moved away from her Bu Yao's shadow and fell on the tree in front.
"He said he got a piece of beautiful jade from a colleague, and he might be in a hurry to give it to Jing Zhi. They have such a good relationship as brother and sister."
Shen Lansui didn't think so much.
Lu Xingyue lowered his eyes slightly, "Yeah."
That's quite a coincidence.
"The eldest lady asked you to go because of the kitchen?" Lu Xingyue changed the subject.
"Because I first disposed of a group of slaves and then built a small kitchen. She thought I was making a big move, so she criticized me a few times. I agreed with everything she said. She felt bored and couldn't fault me, so she sent me away. It's over." Shen Lansui's tone was relaxed, as if it was really no big deal.
Lu Xingyue felt a little relieved, but then he heard Shen Lansui's tone change, "By the way, she also asked us when we planned to consummate the marriage."
Lu Xingyue: "Cough cough cough——"
"What's wrong? Are you still catching a cold?" Shen Lansui stopped and turned her head to look at him. Lu Xingyue was thin-skinned, and with a little effort his face turned a thin layer of red, like it was covered with rouge.
Paired with those pair of green eyes, it looks really gorgeous and alluring.
Shen Lansui was slightly shaken.
Lu Xingyue noticed that she was gradually approaching, and the faint fragrance of flowers hit her. His heart tightened, and he suddenly raised his hand to block her side.
"do what?"
He glanced sideways, and Shen Lansui suddenly came back to his senses, "No, I just think you look pretty good when you blush."
Lu Xingyue: "."
He stared at Shen Lansui silently, but saw her sincere expression and clear eyes.
She felt so from the bottom of her heart.
"I didn't catch a cold." Lu Xingyue looked away and his voice was lower, "As for consummating the marriage, I will find a way."
"Oh, okay...huh?" Shen Lan finally realized something was wrong, "How can I think of a solution?"
"Just fool him." Lu Xingyue didn't want to go into details, so he said instead: "There is a new cook in Pinglan Courtyard. She is very good at making snacks. She just made a pot of osmanthus cake. Can you try it when you go back?"
"Okay!" Shen Lansui perked up as soon as she heard about the food, "What else will she do?"
"You can ask her. If you taste it and think her cooking is good, let her stay in the kitchen from now on."
Shen Lan smiled happily, "Then I have to give it a try."
She couldn't help but speed up, pushing Lu Xing back further.
A faint smile appeared on the corners of Lu Xingyue's lips.
Zhou Quan heard clearly from behind, and when he turned the corner, he gave Lu Xingyue a thumbs-up sign while Shen Lansui couldn't see it.
As expected of the master, tall, really tall!
…
Lu Mingchao watched several people disappear from sight and walked silently in the opposite direction.
However, after walking a few steps, He Chu, who was beside the eldest lady, came over. When he saw him, he bowed and said respectfully: "Master, eldest lady, please come over."
Lu Mingchao's eyes narrowed slightly, and he nodded and said, "I understand."
He hurried to the eldest lady's courtyard. As soon as he entered the door, he saw the eldest lady leaning on the couch, unhappy. She didn't get up when he came in, so she sat there and asked softly: "Why are you back suddenly?"
Lu Mingchao repeated what he said before, his eyebrows light.
Instead, the eldest lady became angry, "You all stand down!"
The maids retreated silently, and Lu Mingchao asked seriously: "Do you have anything to tell me, mother?"
"I can't ask you to come over if I have nothing to do? Are you still blaming me?" The eldest lady looked at him sadly.
Lu Mingchao was silent for a moment, then cupped his hands and said, "Son, I don't dare."
"Don't you dare? Why don't you dare?" The eldest lady suddenly slammed the table and said angrily: "Are you going to kill me for such a woman?"
Lu Mingchao frowned slightly: "Mom, be careful what you say."
"Ha--in order to protect her, you actually asked me to be careful about what I say?" The eldest lady laughed angrily, "Okay, you are really good."
After she smiled enough, her eyes turned cold, "No matter what you think, she has married Lu Xingyue and is Lu Xingyue's wife. You should stay away from her in the future."
Lu Mingchao frowned, "I didn't want to do anything."
"I don't care whether you think about it or not. I don't want to hear any gossip. It will not only harm you, but also harm her." The last few words of the eldest lady were very serious.
Lu Mingchao's face darkened, and his breathing became faster. Finally, he looked at the eldest lady's eyes that were full of hatred, but still said nothing.
He pressed his shoulders slightly and whispered, "I know."
"If there is nothing else, mother, I will go back to the Hanlin Academy first."
After Lu Mingchao finished speaking, he turned around and walked away without waiting for the eldest lady to speak.
The eldest lady was so angry that she raised her hand and threw the tea cup next to her, "One and two of them are rebelling against each other!"
He Chu and He Jiao heard the commotion and came in to comfort her for a while before letting the eldest lady calm down.
…
Lu Xingyue and Shen Lansui ate two snacks and then returned to the study, followed closely by Zhou Quan and closing the door.
"Send someone to check on Lu Mingchao."
Zhou Quan turned around and asked doubtfully: "The investigation must have a direction. Why is the master investigating him?"
Lu Xingyue sat in the armchair, tapped his fingers, and thought for a long time before saying, "Check if he has seen Shen Lansui before, when and where, and if there was any abnormal reaction at that time."
Zhou Quan: "Huh?"
He took a step forward and rubbed his earlobes twice, "Master, you suspect that the eldest young master is interested in the madam...hiss - this is not something you want to talk about!"
Lu Xingyue: "..."
He looked at Zhou Quan coldly, "Why are you still here?"
comprehensive:"???"
If he's not here, should he be underground?
"Didn't I tell you to go to Jinyiwei to change for Mu Lang?"
Zhou Quan: "Master, you haven't said anything yet. Do you suspect that Madam Yizhi Hongxing is cheating on you?"
