Song Wenzhou suddenly sat next to Lu Ling from across from Lu Ling, his body almost touching Lu Ling, and said with a shy face: "Ling'er, we have been married for three years, and it seems that we have never even held hands?"
Lu Ling moved aside a little and said lightly: "I'm very lucky."
Song Wenzhou: "..."
He was a little embarrassed.
But as soon as he glanced at Lu Ling's green, white and tender fingers, his throat felt inexplicably itchy.
He was thinking in his mind: I wonder who is more comfortable to hold, Lu Ling's hand or his cousin's.
His hands became restless:
"Ling'er," he took advantage of Lu Ling's inattention and took her hands on his knees, squeezing them gently, "If we hold hands and go back, my mother-in-law will definitely be able to tell that we have a good relationship as husband and wife, and in her heart You will definitely be happy.”
Lu Ling: "?"
She couldn't hide the disdain and astonishment in her eyes.
How could this man be so bad and shameless?
She lowered her eyes and looked at the four hands covering each other, her face suddenly turned cold, and she said quietly: "Husband, do you want to get cold again?"
Song Wenzhou was stunned for a moment, and gradually felt the astonishing cold air slowly eroding into his joints.
He wanted to rub those soft, white fingers more, but now he couldn't hold himself any longer, and the temperature in the car seemed to be slowly dropping.
Song Wenzhou quickly pulled his hand back and sat back to his original position unwillingly.
Lu Ling sneered in his heart.
After a while, she opened the curtain and asked where Haitang was.
Haitang said in a brisk tone: "Miss, you have already left the county. I estimate that you will arrive at the Lu family in Yucheng in three hours."
Lu Ling's mood gradually improved, imagining the look on his mother's face looking forward to him at this time.
Because the bones in Lu Ling's chest had not fully grown yet, the carriage moved very slowly.
When we arrived at Lu's house, it was already dark.
She got out of the carriage filled with excitement.
She expected to see her loving mother standing at the gate of the Lu family to greet her with tears in her eyes, but she didn't expect to see her mother's figure.
Standing at the door were a middle-aged man of forty and a maid of seventeen or eighteen, holding lanterns in their hands.
When they saw Lu Ling and others, they shouted excitedly to the mansion: "My uncle is back!"
After Haitang helped Lu Ling get out of the carriage, she happily shouted to the maid: "Xin Yi, why don't you come over and help the young lady!"
The maid named Xin Yi quickly handed the lantern in her hand to the middle-aged man next to her, and obediently came to help Lu Ling's other arm.
The man first saluted Lu Ling and called "Miss", and then went to help Song Wenzhou who got out of the car.
Lu Heng saw that neither Lu Cheng nor his mother was at the door, and he wondered if his mother was too ill to get out of bed. !
She couldn't help but ask the middle-aged man: "Uncle Du, are mother and Acheng in the house?"
"...Well, here....Look, isn't the young master coming out soon?"
Uncle Du is the housekeeper of the Lu family and has been in the Lu family for no less than twenty years.
In the past, when Mr. Lu was alive, he thought highly of him, and he took care of many of the Lu family's properties.
Xin Yi is the daughter of Housekeeper Du and the maid who grew up with Haitang.
Before Lu Ling got married, both of them were Lu Ling's personal maids.
Lu Ling felt that Butler Du was a little hesitant when he spoke. Just when he felt a little strange, Lu Cheng had already strode to the door to greet him.
"Sister! You are finally here!"
With a face full of joy, he walked to Lu Ling and wanted to hold her hand, but suddenly realized that it was inappropriate, so he withdrew his hand and walked side by side with Song Wenzhou.
While talking, a group of people entered the main hall.
Lu Ling looked around and still didn't see her mother. She couldn't help but become worried and asked Lu Cheng, "A Cheng, where is my mother?"
Lu Cheng deliberately raised his voice, sounding very happy: "Mom came here thinking of you, and she is still changing clothes in the room."
Lu Ling couldn't help but frown and said hesitantly.
Lu Cheng forced Lu Ling to sit down and said, "Sister, you and your brother-in-law have been traveling for a day. You must be tired and hungry. Please sit down and have a sip of tea first."
As he spoke, he told Xin Yi: "Go quickly and see if mother has packed up, and help her out."
Lu Ling wanted to stand up and go see Lu's mother in person, but Lu Cheng added, "Sister, your injuries are not healed yet! Be careful."
Lu Ling had to sit down.
Butler Du quickly stood up and said to Lu Ling: "Miss, uncle, our Lu family's tea business is doing the best this year. This year's new tea tastes good. Miss, uncle, would you like to try it?"
Lu Ling's attention was suddenly sucked away.
She nodded and said, "Okay, I'm worried about my family's business."
Song Wenzhou also echoed: "I haven't drunk tea from the Lu family tea garden in three years. Now that I think of the fresh and elegant taste, I still miss it very much."
Butler Du quickly ordered the little girl to make a pot of green tea picked from the Lu family tea garden.
Lu Ling held up the tea cup and sniffed it in front of her nose. The aroma of tea overflowed. She blew gently and took a sip. It was mellow and sweet. She couldn't help but nod her head and said to Lu Cheng, "It is indeed our Lu family's tea."
Lu Cheng smiled and said: "That's natural. This year's tea harvest is excellent. Both Mingqian tea and Yuqian tea are picked well. After the tea is carefully made, the taste is even better."
Lu Ling's worries eased a bit after hearing this.
From what Butler Du and Lu Cheng said, it seemed that the family business was not as bad as imagined.
Lu Cheng then asked: "Sister, how is the candle business? You have been sick, I'm afraid it will be a little tiring to take care of it."
Haitang's heart skipped a beat: What, the young master wants to take back the candle industry?
Thinking of this, her face turned pale and she looked at Lu Ling nervously.
But Lu Ling had no reaction. Instead, he looked at Song Wenzhou with a smile: "Thanks to your brother-in-law, the candle industry has been doing well in the past two years. Now that I am in good health, my husband can take time off to do other things."
After everyone heard this, they all had their own plans in mind.
The first was Song Wenzhou, whose expression changed slightly, and then he forced out a stiff smile: "When Ling'er is weak, of course I, the husband, have to share more of the burden."
Lu Cheng has already heard the implication: In the past two years, has the property under my sister's name been handed over to my brother-in-law? And judging by Sister's tone, do you want to take it back now?
He showed no emotion on the surface.
After a while, he said again: "Sister, I will bring you the account books of various properties tomorrow. In the past two years, Uncle Du has taken care of the many properties in the family. Now that Sister is back when she is free, I will teach you more." As for me, I have taken care of the Lu family's property, and my father will be able to feel at ease knowing that he has knowledge under the spring."
Lu Ling nodded.
Haitang felt relieved and thought that the young master completely believed that his sister would not treat her as an outsider.
This made her feel more at ease.
Lu Ling picked up the teacup and took a sip, and suddenly realized, why hasn't his mother come yet?
