Xin Yi grabbed Lu Cheng, put her feet on his neck and put her lips on Lu Cheng's cheek.
The boundless guilt overwhelmed Lu Cheng. He cursed himself in his heart. At the same time, he pulled Xin Yi off his neck. He raised his sleeves and wiped his cheeks that were glowing with heat. He didn't dare to look at them anymore. Xin Yi glanced at her and didn't dare to say another word to her, and fled back to the study in panic.
"Master..."
Xin Yi fell to the ground and burst into tears. The despair and unwillingness in her heart overwhelmed her, and she could hardly stand up again.
Manager Liu went to Weicheng early the next morning.
He rode quickly and arrived that night. He spent another day choosing a house, and then returned to the Lu family after paying for the house deed, money and food.
At that time, Lu Ling had already put the ink-making workshop back into operation.
At that time, those ink sticks that were recycled at high prices and those of poor quality were all disposed of, and I went to the teahouse and candle shop to see them in person.
Although both industries were not operating ideally, Lu Ling rectified them one by one and told Lu Cheng how they should manage their operations in the future.
For some reason, Lu Cheng has been acting strange these past two days. When Lu Ling talks to him, he is always absent-minded.
When he heard that Lu Ling asked him to go to the tea house and candle workshop, he almost ran away on horseback as if running for his life.
She was afraid that Lu Cheng had encountered something he couldn't solve and was holding it in his heart, so she went to ask Mo'er. Mo'er said blankly, "Nothing happened, young master!" Lu Ling was relieved.
One day, Song Wenzhou sent a letter saying that he would pick up Lu Ling in four days. Lu Ling thought about it and realized that she didn't care about going with him, so she took care of the Lu family, packed everything up, and prepared to go back to the Song family.
Before the carriage was about to leave, Lu Cheng saw him off at the door.
Mrs. Lu smiled in the carriage and said: "A Cheng, you have grown up and your parents are not with you. You have to take care of your home. Mom will be back in two days."
Lu Cheng nodded with red eyes, unwilling to let tears flow out, for fear of being said to be weak.
Lu Ling also smiled and said: "Sister, if I don't look at you, you must not be lazy and not study hard. There will be a college entrance examination in August next year. You must bring glory to our Lu family!"
Lu Cheng bit his lip and nodded, and after a long while he said: "Sister, mother, don't worry, I will take good care of the Lu family's family property and business, and I will also study hard and strive to be admitted as a scholar!"
Lu Ling smiled happily.
Qi Sisi stood beside her and smiled: "Don't cry, it's not a matter of life and death. After two years, your mother's condition will be stable, and you can see each other."
When Lu Cheng heard this, he looked at Qi Sisi displeased, gritted his teeth and said, "I didn't cry! Why did you insult me?"
Qi Sisi smiled with a bad look on her face: "Hey, you, little brat, you are still shy after I told you!"
"You!" Lu Cheng clenched his fists, and the reluctance and sadness of parting disappeared instantly, replaced by the shame and annoyance after being teased by Qi Sisi.
Lu Ling saw Lu Cheng's face turned red and said quickly: "Okay, okay, we're leaving. Cheng, please go back quickly. If you have anything to do, write to me."
Qi Sisi winked at Lu Cheng and then jumped into the carriage.
Lu Cheng stood at the door and said goodbye.
Xin Yi, who was following the carriage, looked back at Lu Cheng reluctantly with tears in his eyes.
Lu Cheng accidentally bumped into her eyes and was so frightened that he quickly looked away.
His reaction made Xin Yi very angry, with an expression of gnashing teeth.
At the same time, in the capital, King Zhao bowed in front of the emperor and bowed five times. The emperor personally escorted King Zhao to the Meridian Gate. The royal guards and a thousand imperial guards escorted King Zhao to Weizhou to die in Tibet.
Two days later, Lu Ling and his party arrived in Weicheng.
They did not go to the Song family first, but first went to the house bought by Manager Liu.
This house is only three miles away from Song Mansion, and it only takes a quarter of an hour to walk.
A dozen servants have been purchased in advance for the house.
Janitors, cleaners, people who take care of Mrs. Lu's daily life, etc.
It was already dark, and Lu Ling and Qi Sisi helped Mrs. Lu to her yard.
Everything was arranged and it was already very late.
"Miss, are you going back to Song Mansion tonight?" Haitang asked.
Lu Ling shook his head without thinking: "I'll go back tomorrow."
Upon hearing this, Qi Sisi came over and asked Lu Ling with a blink of an eye: "You and your husband don't have a good relationship?"
Lu Ling glanced at Mrs. Lu and saw that she had no reaction. He smiled and shook his head.
Qi Sisi curled her lips and said, "You don't have to pretend, I've already guessed it."
"Huh?" Lu Ling became interested, tilted his head and asked, "Why did you say that?"
Qi Sisi had a strange and subtle look on her face.
"King Zhao will come here soon."
Lu Ling frowned. What does this have to do with me?
Qi Sisi raised her eyebrows and lowered her voice and asked, "Is it because of King Zhao that you have a bad relationship with your husband?"
"Ah?" Lu Ling thought he heard wrongly.
Qi Sisi: "What are you doing?"
Lu Ling pursed his lips and thought it was funny. "Doctor Qi, I don't know Prince Zhao at all, and I don't dare to have anything to do with him. If someone with a heart listens to this, I'm afraid I won't have a good life."
Hearing this, Qi Sisi realized that this was ancient times, and a woman's reputation was more important than her life!
She quickly stuck out her tongue and changed the topic.
At this time, a maid came in and announced: "Miss, the concierge said there is a woman who has been looking at the door. I wonder if she is looking for the lady."
Lu Ling was confused.
Could it be that the Song family knew that he was back?
She quickly asked Haitang to go out and take a look.
Haitang went away for a while and came back and said, "Miss, it's Mrs. Zhang who used to be the cook in the Song family. When the servant went out and saw her, she left."
Lu Ling couldn't help but frown when he heard this.
At that time, after Mrs. Zhang offended Lu Ling and was punished by Lu Ling, Mr. Song kicked her out of the Song family.
Lu Ling hasn't seen her for a long time.
I didn't expect that she would see me when I came back today.
What was her purpose for standing at the door and looking around?
"Miss, she must have hated us for being kicked out of the Song family," Haitang said.
Lu Ling nodded and said: "Maybe she will find an opportunity to take revenge on me. Be more careful in the future and don't let her enter the house when I'm not around."
Haitang nodded quickly.
The next day, Lu Ling returned to the Song family in a carriage.
As soon as she got off the carriage and stepped inside, she bumped into someone.
Lu Ling's body was tilted due to the impact, and he frowned and looked intently.
It was Liu Qingyun's maid Bai Zhi. Her eyes were panicked. When she bumped into Lu Ling, a piece of paper floated out of her hand.
When Lu Ling looked over, she hurriedly knelt down to pick up the paper.
Oh, it looks like a prescription?
"What are you doing in such a hurry?" Lu Ling watched suspiciously as she stuffed the prescription into her sleeves.
Only then did Bai Zhi see Lu Ling clearly and asked in surprise: "Young madam, why are you back?"
Lu Ling didn't answer, just stared at her sleeves and asked, "Who is sick in the house? Bring me the prescription."
Bai Zhi's face suddenly changed, she held her sleeves with both hands and stammered: "Yes... it's the master who is sick, and Doctor Chu wrote the prescription..."
"Take it out." Lu Ling repeated.
