Rebirth Of Proud Noble Daughter - C229
Inside the room, Doctor Fan was still drowsily sleeping. Presumably, it was due to the acupuncture that Doctor Fan had just given him that caused him to frown slightly.
When Lu Jingran saw this, he also frowned. He was originally the eldest grandson of the emperor, with countless of wealth and honor, but now he had fallen to such a situation.
Yuan Xiaoyi came in as well, “I’ve always heard that Doctor Fan is adept in medicine, and with Doctor Fan’s help, I think Tingsheng will be able to recover in a few days. Uncle, don’t worry.”
Lu Jingran nodded his head, and could not help but give Yuan Xiaoyi a few words of advice, and even more so if she was lacking silver, he could just go and find Ban Xia.
He had too many things to do now, and the Dark Guard place that his grandfather had left him was running out of things to do. He had brought Ban Xia to pick out some orphans these days, planning to train a new batch of Dark Guard from the sect.
Not only that, he had to also investigate the identity of the mastermind behind Mr. Bai’s plot, and even more so investigate who it was that had sent those people to find Tingsheng with the intention of silencing him … A lot of things don’t have a clue.
Yuan Xiaoyi watched him leave in a hurry, and did not come back to her senses even after a long time, until Lu Jingran’s figure disappeared, and was never to be seen again. Only then did she let out a long sigh.
When Yun Xiao saw this, he also sighed, “Miss, why are you doing this …” Your grandpa is already married! ”
She was Yuan Xiaoyi’s personal maid and had grown up together with him. She knew Yuan Xiaoyi’s thoughts the best.
Yuan Xiaoyi did not hide it from her and laughed bitterly, “The thing that is most difficult to control in this world is emotions. So what if he gets married? I only need to be able to look at him from far away. Yunke, do you think I’m stupid? “I know that if it weren’t for the fact that the courtyard was so ill today, he would never have come …”
“Originally, I thought he was thinking about having me in his heart, after all, everyone was saying that I was his concubine, so he didn’t try to defend himself when he heard this. Sometimes, he would even go to the Liucheng Garden with others to listen to the show, and the way he looked at me wasn’t the same as the way he looked at the people around him … But his marriage was bestowed by the Emperor … ”
However, Yunke had never noticed the difference in the way Lu Jingran looked at his own daughter, much like how he looked at others. Now, he merely advised, “Miss, don’t be sad anymore. It’s imperative that you take good care of Tingsheng!”
Lu Jingran waited until the sky turned dark before he returned to the National Duke Ning Palace. However, right after entering the gates, he found a Nanny Bai waiting for him.
Lu Jingran naturally obediently followed Nanny Bai to the Rongshou Hall.
However, the moment he stepped into the inner room, the Old Ancestor grabbed the teacup beside his hand and slammed it hard at his feet. “Kneel down!”
It had been many years since the Old Ancestor was this serious with him. Ever since he came back from the Tianjin, there were times when the National Duke Ning was angry, and the Old Ancestor was still urging him from the side. The Old Ancestor always said that the Old Duke could be considered to be protecting him from the nine springs of the underworld … What was happening now?
Lu Jingran walked over with a smile, “Grandmother, what’s wrong with you? Did someone make you angry? ”
“Don’t joke around with me! Other than you, can this He’s Mansion make me this angry? ” The Old Ancestor grabbed the walking stick beside his hand and fiercely swung it towards his back, but after one or two blows, he realized that he had not dodged nor had the intention to, but was reluctant to make a move, “You still have the face to ask me what’s wrong, and I’ll also ask you, I want to ask you, what’s wrong with Yuan Xiaoyi who has the same Liucheng Garden as you?”
All day long she had not been able to eat and sleep on this matter, and the sighs were one after another.
Lu Jingran frowned and asked: “Did someone tell you something?”
He did not refute her, and did not say that he and Yuan Xiaoyi had nothing to do with each other.
The Old Ancestor angrily threw his walking stick onto the ground, “You are really stupid! Who was Yuan Xiaoyi? It’s a play! How can you get mixed up with someone like that? Raising her outside? Previously, I didn’t even say anything about where those fireworks were. After all, you weren’t married at that time, but now that your wife is married into this family, why are you acting more and more irresponsibly? ”
“You didn’t know that today, when Young Madam Zhang mentioned this matter in front of your wife, I even felt embarrassed for you …”
Lin Shu knew about this?
Lu Jingran did not hear a single word that the Old Ancestor said next. All he could think of was that Lin Shu knew about this, so was she very sad?
Lu Jingran couldn’t be bothered about anything else, he only told the Old Ancestor that he and Yuan Xiaoyi were not as everyone thought, and hurried back to the Banyan Garden.
It was already late, Lin Shu was already lying on the bed reading, the octagonal lamp made her clean face look like ceramic.
Originally, Lu Jingran felt that he had a lot to say, but he hesitated at the door for a long time, he did not know how to explain it to Lin Shu later on. He did not want to hide this from Lin Shu, but this matter was no small matter.
Back then, before the First Prince’s death, she had even entrusted him with this matter. He had to keep Tingsheng’s identity a secret, even to those closest to him he could not speak of.
How could a gentleman go back on his word?
But when Lin Shu asked that question later, how would he reply?
He had also thought about this question before. With Lin Shu’s intelligence, there would definitely be a day where he would ask about his relationship with Yuan Xiaoyi. How would he answer then?
He felt a headache coming on as he slowly walked in.
Lin Shu heard the commotion and looked up to see that it was indeed Lu Jingran who had returned, “You’re back? Hungry? How about Pearl instructs the kitchen to make you a bowl of chicken noodle soup? ”
Lu Jingran shook his head, “I’m not hungry.”
He stood by the side of the bed and looked at Lin Shu, her mouth moved, but no words came out.
Lin Shu saw that his clothes were smeared with tea foam, she was about to speak, but suddenly smelled a faint fragrance from Lu Jingran’s body.
Normally, she didn’t use incense.
Normally, Lu Jingran’s body would have a faint smell of soap, but he would never have such a fragrance, and although the fragrance was not heavy, she could still smell it now that Lu Jingran was standing in front of her.
She only felt that Lu Jingran’s silence was related to the fragrance on his body. After hesitating for a moment, she asked, “Do you have something to say to me?”
Lu Jingran nodded and sat down on the embroidered chair.
The Maid that was guarding the door closed it.
Lu Jingran took a deep breath and said slowly, “Do you know about Yuan Xiaoyi?”
Lin Shu nodded, “Today, mother mentioned this matter. Actually, I already knew about it. Some people said that you raised Yuan Xiaoyi outside, and even said that you did not hesitate to offend the Ninth Prince for this matter … ”
“Then, then why didn’t you ask me?” Lu Jingran was unspeakably stunned, in the past few days, Lin Shu did not tell him anything, as if nothing had happened.
The corner of Lin Shu’s mouth slightly rose, “What did I want to ask you? I believe in you, so naturally, I won’t ask. ”
Pausing for a moment, she continued, “We have known each other for quite some time, and I know a bit about your personality. If you really liked Yuan Xiaoyi, where would you get me as your wife? You can’t reject the Emperor’s bestowal, but you will definitely marry Yuan Xiaoyi into her family, how can you bear to have Yuan Xiaoyi stay outside without knowing the reason why? ”
“Although I don’t know why outsiders say what they say, nor do I know why you didn’t refute them, I do know that husband and wife are one and the same. What’s the meaning of this if I suspect you even when you return home after so much work?” “Since you are my husband, I must believe you …”
Before she could even finish speaking, she was violently hugged by Lu Jingran, to the point where she couldn’t even breathe.
Lu Jingran hugged Lin Shu tightly, and only after a long while did he say: “The relationship between her and I is pure and clean.”
Lin Shu replied: “I know.”
I have my reasons for doing this, but as for why, I can’t tell you yet. You’ll understand in the future.” Lu Jingran only felt that marrying Lin Ru was a blessing he had built up over several lifetimes, but he was a man, so he couldn’t say such sentimental words. After a long while, he slowly said, “Sister Shu’er, thank you.
Thank her?
Lin Shu was a little confused. Was she thanking him for believing in him?
But aren’t these what couples should do?
Lin Shu didn’t know whether to laugh or cry, she only felt that her husband was being too easily satisfied, “Alright, alright, it’s getting late, you should go wash up, and rest a bit earlier.”
“You want me to get some rest?” Lu Jingran lowered his head and took a whiff of the space between her eyebrows, his mouth revealing a teasing smile.
Lin Shu immediately understood the meaning behind his words, until he had misunderstood his own meaning, “I, I didn’t mean it like that …”
Lu Jingran liked to see her in such a sorry state. His little girl looked so natural and unrestrained in front of others, only when she was in front of him would he look like this, “Your body … “Does it still hurt?”
Lin Shu felt her face becoming even more red, “No … “It doesn’t hurt anymore.”
Lu Jingran only left her with a meaningful smile before he went to the clean room. Lin Shu really wanted to use the blanket to cover herself … It was too embarrassing.
She was simply unable to sit still. She only wanted to make herself look less reserved. However, the more she thought about it, the more unnatural she felt.
When Lu Jingran came out, her cheeks were still red, and she didn’t dare look at him from the start.
Lu Jingran wanted to laugh even more, “I’m done showering.”
Lin Shu raised her head and saw his undergarment hanging loose, revealing a large and strong chest. “You … “Why didn’t you put on your clothes when you came out? Where, how could you be like this …”
However, just as she finished speaking, Lu Jingran stepped forward and kissed her. All of them are going to… Why are you so neat when it’s been removed? “
