I slept with my burned hand in my hands. I felt uneasy that night and couldn't sleep.
It's seven o'clock in the morning, and the sky is not yet bright.
There was a sound of parking downstairs, which startled the pigeons raised in the yard.
Ruan Mian had just slept for less than three hours. She was dazed when she heard a servant knocking on the door and calling her: "Madam, please get up quickly. Mr. Lu is back. Madam and the old gentleman are waiting downstairs."
"right away."
Turning over, she sat up. Her hands were much more red and swollen than last night, and her sleeves might not be able to hide them.
Ruan Mian simply didn't hide it.
After cleaning up and washing up, within five minutes, she dressed fully and went downstairs to meet people.
Lu Huainan sat next to Lu Hongwen, serving tea and pouring water with a serious and meticulous look on his face.
But if you look closely, you can see signs of fatigue at the corners of his eyes and mouth.
Ruan Mian was used to seeing, hearing, asking and asking questions when he was practicing medicine. He could tell at a glance that he had stayed up late. He must have stayed up late in Dongcheng. The two of them met at a distance from each other for a brief moment.
She sat over and said, "Dad, Mom."
After sitting upright, Ruan Mian realized that Lu Huainan had been staring at her hands.
She rolled up her sleeves and shrank her arms.
Jiang Huili said crisply: "Huainan, first Ah Xian said you went to Dongcheng. Are there any friends there?"
The Lu family has a distinguished status, and there are no poor relatives or friends in Dongcheng.
Lu Huainan: "Send a friend back to his hometown."
Jiang Huili still wanted to ask.
Lu Hongwen frowned slightly and put the words aside: "Huainan said they were friends, so you don't need to get to the bottom of it, but Ah Xian, where did he go when he came back?"
It is said that the fifth young master of the Lu family has a dissolute personality, loves to play with women, and lives in a life of luxury.
Ruan Mian spent the whole night at Lu's house and did not see his brother-in-law Lu Xian.
The old couple felt both love and hatred for this little boy.
Jiang Huili: "I said I went to buy a birthday gift for my mother."
Speaking of birthday gifts, the pair of jade pieces that Ruan Mian brought was still in a drawer in her room. For fear of something going wrong, she managed to wrap it up in several layers and hid it at the bottom.
The family simply finished their breakfast and Ruan Mian went upstairs.
I found the jade drawer empty.
"Fourth sister-in-law, you are so panicked, what are you looking for?"
The man chuckled, and Lu Xian crossed his arms in front of his chest. He looked at Ruan Mian with a scrutinizing look, and the left corner of his mouth turned up in a not too big arc.
Ruan Mian slowly straightened up.
A bad premonition: "Is the jade where you are?"
"Fourth sister-in-law is really smart."
"Give me back the jade."
Lu Xian made no secret of his ambition: "I want this jade." Ruan Mian said: "As Young Master Lu, are you afraid that you won't be able to buy a piece of jade? Why bother with me? This is my birthday gift to grandma. The birthday gift is also something your fourth brother asked me to do."
She made it very clear that this jade belonged to Lu Huainan.
As the saying goes, beating a dog also depends on the owner.
Lu Xian's slender eyes moved slightly, and there was a flash of light. It was speculation, suspicion, and a bit of amusement.
"The matter between fourth brother and that small town girl has spread all over Yanzhou. He doesn't care about your face at all. Why do you have to think about him everywhere?"
With a sound coming from his mouth, Lu Xian took steps forward.
When he was half a meter away, Ruan Mian backed away.
She had a serious face and a warning tone: "What do you want to do?"
Lu Xian was 1.87 meters tall with long arms. He swung his arms around her soft and thin waist, and his lips were close to each other: "Fourth sister-in-law, what my fourth brother can give you, I can also give..."
"Axian!"
Lu Huainan's voice.
Ruan Mian pushed the person away and she stepped back several steps away.
Lu Xian looked back: "Fourth brother, you are here."
He seemed fine.
Lu Huainan looked over at Lu Xian and hit Ruan Mian firmly on the face. The man's handsome and cold face seemed to be covered with a layer of frost, and his voice was calm: "Mom is looking for you."
"Then I won't disturb you anymore."
After Lu Xian left.
Ruan Mian found that Lu Huainan's eyes had been staring at her neck where Lu Xian had touched her. His eyes were sharp.
"Don't meet him less."
Lu Huainan was reminding her.
Why should he?
Only state officials are allowed to set fires, but the people are not allowed to light lamps?
Ruan Mian smiled at him: "I think Lu Xian is very good. He is humorous and considerate. No woman can resist such a man..."
Lu Huainan interrupted coldly: "Including you?"
"I'm your wife, so of course I'm not."
"What if you don't have a man?" Will you accept Lu Xian's teasing and teasing?
