The moment she saw Lu Youchuan, Wang Xuelan's eyes were filled with tears.
"Lao San, you are finally back."
Lu Youchuan knelt down straight towards the two of them, "Father, mother, my child is unfilial and makes you worry about me."
Lu Tiesheng laughed and wiped away tears.
"Just come back, just come back!"
As he said this, he stepped forward and helped Lu Youchuan up from the ground.
Lu Shoucheng also came up with red eyes and patted his arm, "I knew I was right. You are indeed the third brother."
Lu Youchuan looked at him with relief on his face.
"Shou Cheng, thank you for taking care of my parents these years."
Lu Shoucheng scratched his head in embarrassment, "It's not my fault to take care of my parents alone, and my parents have done many things that they can do themselves, so they don't need any help from us at all."
Lu Youchuan patted his shoulder and said nothing more.
Wang Xuelan wiped the tears from her face and looked at Lu Xingping and Lu Xingan who were looking at Lu Youchuan.
"Xingping Xing'an, why are you still standing there? Come and call me daddy."
The two brothers looked at each other, took two awkward steps forward, and called out in an unaccustomed manner, "Dad."
This call of daddy gave them a strange but warm feeling in their hearts.
They were used to living without a father for twelve years, but they also longed for their parents to be alive like other children. Now looking at Lu Youchuan in front of them, it seemed as if they were dreaming.
Lu Youchuan sighed, stepped forward and touched their heads.
"Your mother has raised you very well." She turned to look at Yun Cuihe, whose eyes were red and holding back her tears, "You have worked hard these years."
Yun Cuihe couldn't bear it any longer and stepped forward to hug Lu Youchuan, crying so hard.
When everyone present saw this, they all wiped away tears.
Lu Youchuan stroked Yun Cuihe's back as if comforting a child, and said softly, "Stop crying, I'm back."
When he left, she was only twenty-five years old, which was her best years.
But he wasted thirteen years with three children, waiting for him for thirteen years.
How many thirteen years can there be in life?
From now on, nothing can separate a family except life and death.
Yun Cuihe nodded while holding back her tears.
The grievances, bitterness and regrets of these years seemed to be relieved at this moment.
Anyway, he's back.
This is the most fortunate thing.
No matter how many years the two of them can spend together in the future, she will eventually be able to see him again, and her life will be complete.
Yun Cuihe left Lu Youchuan's arms and looked at Chu Yue with some embarrassment.
"Yueyue, how is Xinghe? Are you okay?"
Chu Yue smiled and shook her head.
"Don't worry, mother. My husband just lost too much blood and his injuries are not serious. He will be fine after a while."
Wang Xuelan looked at everyone.
"Since Xinghe is fine and there's Yue Yatou here to watch, let's leave first so that we don't make Xinghe have a hard time resting."
Lu Youchuan nodded.
"Hey, okay."
Chu Yue watched everyone leave, then turned and entered the room.
From yesterday to today, Lu Xinghe had not slept a wink because of the incident in the capital. He would have lost too much blood and fell asleep as soon as he was bandaged.
Chu Yue sat on the edge of the bed, looking at the quiet and handsome man sleeping on the bed, with a slight smile on her lips.
"My husband, you have to get better soon. Now that dad is back, you can have a good time talking about old times with him."
"We haven't seen each other for so many years. You should have a lot to say to him, right?"
…
In the next few days, Lu Xinghe took a long vacation and recuperated at home.
After all, the great revenge will be avenged, and it's time to take a good rest.
After Gu Jingning and Yuan Xiang were imprisoned, many officials from the Prince Jing faction were investigated and either killed or imprisoned.
Some veteran ministers realized that the emperor was taking the opportunity to change the court's blood, and took the initiative to resign and return to their hometown to retire.
After such operations, many positions in the court were vacant, so new people could only be promoted.
Lu Xinghe's position has not changed, and he is still the Imperial Academy's wine minister.
Xu Heng, on the other hand, was promoted from a sixth-rank Hanlin Academy editor to a full-sixth rank Zuo Sizhiro.
He thought that if he stayed in the capital for another year, and when Xu Yanran was older, he would ask the emperor for permission to be transferred to a local government, and then he would have a better chance of being promoted back to the capital.
After learning that Lu Youchuan was back, brothers Lu Laifu and Lu Laicai also came to Lu Mansion to meet him.
After that, the Lu Laicai family took the two elders of the Yun family back to Nanping Town. After all, the two elders of the Yun family still had two sons in Nanping Town, so there was no reason to live in the capital for a long time.
As for Lu Tiesheng and Wang Xuelan, they still live in Lu Mansion.
The old man is old, so there is nothing wrong with living in his son's home. Moreover, it is not difficult for the Lu family to raise two old people now.
Because Lu Youchuan's body had suffered a serious injury before and had not been treated for a long time, the root cause of the disease was relatively difficult.
After Chu Yue and Zhang Zheng examined and treated him together, they worked together to formulate a treatment plan for him.
Now that Lu Youchuan's wife, children, and parents are by his side, he is naturally highly cooperating with Chu Yue and Zhang Zheng's diagnosis and treatment, and his health is getting better day by day.
This can be seen from the radiant Yun Cuihe.
…
Chu Yue and Yun Cuihe cooked the medicinal meal, left the kitchen to the servants to clean up the aftermath, and then went to the front hall together.
Late autumn in the capital is much cooler than in Yuezhou.
Although Chu Yue spent the winter in the capital last year, she spent most of her time at a hot spring village on the outskirts of Beijing, and she didn't even know how cold the winter was.
"It's not winter yet, but it's cooler than the early winter in Yuezhou." Chu Yue said as she walked into the main hall.
Lu Xinghe smiled at her and stretched out his hand.
The slender fingers with distinct knuckles are really beautiful.
Chu Yue held his hand shyly and sat down next to him, looking at the chess game in front of her.
"How is the battle going today?"
Lu Xinghe pursed his lips slightly, leaned close to Chu Yue's ear and whispered, "Win two out of three games, this is the third game."
Lu Youchuan raised his eyes and looked at the two of them, raised his eyebrows, and put the chess pieces in his hands back into the box.
"That's all. If I try again, I'll be struggling to my death. I'll admit defeat."
Yun Cuihe smiled, asked someone to remove the chessboard, and then placed the tray in front of Lu Youchuan.
"We can study the chess game later. Let's take the medicine first."
"good."
Lu Youchuan took the tableware from Yun Cuihe's hand with a submissive face and began to eat the food in front of him bite by bite.
On the other side, Wang Xuelan, who was picking up the soles of her shoes, was very pleased to see her.
"The third child is still the same as before. As long as Cui He says it, he will listen to anything."
Lu Tiesheng, who was playing chess with Zhang Zheng, smiled and still stared at the chess game on the table.
"You used to say in front of me that he had forgotten his mother after marrying his wife, but now I don't see you jealous anymore."
Wang Xuelan glanced at Lu Tiesheng, picked up a shoe sole and threw it in his direction.
"I was just joking in front of you at that time, talking about things that I don't even remember. Why are you such a bad old man bringing up old scores?"
