"It was decided on the spur of the moment. I'll leave in five days. I'll take care of the affairs of the Ministry of Agriculture in the next few days before I go to say goodbye to His Majesty."
"Fu Man Lou has your Ah Xu, and the pharmaceutical factory has Du Siyuan. Now only the estate is left. What about Xie Quan? I'll explain the estate situation to him as well."
Xie Quan is now Xie Wanwan's subordinate. He manages the estate and assists Xie Wanwan in opening Wanxiu Pavilion. He is also currently in Wanxiu Pavilion.
The reason Su Luo didn't leave until five days later was because she received news that Nangong Chiyu wouldn't be able to return to the capital for another three days.
She wanted to do acupuncture for him again, regardless of whether it would work or not. He had helped her, and she felt she could do her part to help him.
"Someone, bring Steward Xie in."
Xie Quan put everything aside and went over there. Su Luo explained the details and techniques for planting cotton to him.
She had cotton seeds placed at the Du residence, so that the cotton could be planted while Wanxiu Pavilion was less busy these few days.
"Steward Xie, after the cotton is planted, Young Master Shen Yuan will send someone to check on it. At that time, the cotton will be closely related to Wanxiu Pavilion, so you two must pay close attention."
"Yes, I will certainly not let the Deputy Minister of Agriculture down. The fields on the estate have been plowed, and I will arrange for people to start planting cotton tomorrow."
Including Yushui Manor, Su Luo owns three manors in the capital, and she and Nangong Chiyu have rented five more. This year is sure to be a bumper year.
They busied themselves with Wanxiu Pavilion until dusk before finally emerging.
As dusk settled, she stepped onto the street and saw a man and a horse standing in front of her.
Nangong Chiyu was wearing armor and looked travel-worn.
"Prince Yu?"
Before Su Luo could react, he grabbed her and pulled her into a tight embrace.
"Nangong Chiyu, what are you doing? Let me go."
No matter how much Su Luo struggled, he wouldn't let go, and his grip on her arm only tightened.
"If you... strangle me again, I'll die..."
Su Luo has never been a romantic person, nor does she say romantic things.
Hearing this, Nangong Chiyu finally released her.
His eyes were so complex, filled with joy and heartache, as if he wanted to express something, but couldn't quite put his finger on it.
"What are you doing? Believe me or not, I'll stab you twice with a dagger."
This person hugged her for no reason, and she didn't even realize it. If it weren't for the fact that it was someone she knew, she would have retaliated.
"I believe you, but I miss you."
Unbeknownst to him, Nangong Chiyu had begun to care about Su Luo. During the month they were apart, he thought about her every day, wondering if she was doing well and if she was still weak.
Perhaps he had already completely fallen for Su Luo when she used her own blood to save him.
From that moment on, he kept telling himself that Su Luo was his wife, and it was only natural for him to like his wife, so what was there to restrain?
"Your Highness, please have some self-respect."
As she spoke, Su Luo walked past him and went ahead. This man was going to be the prince consort in the future, and Manyu had spoken to her, so she should stay away from Nangong Chiyu even more.
"Su Luo, it's been a month since we last met. I rushed back day and night to see you. Don't you want to see me?"
this?
Su Luo felt she needed to clarify things with him. She didn't know what she had done to cause Nangong Chiyu to misunderstand, but even if Su Luo was oblivious to emotions, she should have understood the ambiguity in his words.
According to the schedule, he was indeed supposed to arrive in the capital in three days. His appearance here now must mean he rushed back.
“Your Highness Prince Yu, I have said that I will not find a stepfather for my child. I will pretend that I did not hear what you said today.”
You're going to be with the Fifth Princess in the future, so please stay away from me. I don't want Manyu to misunderstand, otherwise we can't even be friends anymore.
"I……"
Nangong Chiyu wanted to tell Su Luo that he would not marry Nangong Manyu, and that he was not the stepfather of her child, but the biological father and husband.
Even if he told her right now that he was Chen Huaixu, Su Luo probably wouldn't believe him.
“I know you’re worried about these things, and I’ll take care of them in the next couple of days. But when I went to the Du residence just now, Yi Huan said that you’re going back to Changping Village?”
Su Luo didn't know what he meant by dealing with something.
"Okay! I'll pack up and go back in the next few days."
"By the way, are you free tomorrow? If you are, I'll give you one last acupuncture treatment. Otherwise, once I return to Changping Village, you won't have another chance."
Nangong Chiyu said that acupuncture could restore his memory, but Su Luo didn't know whether it would actually restore it or not. Anyway, since he needed it, she just did it for him.
"No need, I remember everything."
The two walked along East Street, with Su Luo in front and Nangong Chiyu leading the horse behind her.
Hearing Nangong Chiyu's words, he paused and turned to ask him.
"You really remember everything? Then you..."
I've always heard him say that he might have a wife and children. I don't know if it's true. If it is, then Manyu would never have married him.
If he misunderstands her, he means he wants her to be his concubine, Su Luo thought with disdain.
She doesn't even care about a legal wife. If Nangong Chiyu has any intention of making her a concubine, she should have less contact with him in the future.
"I remember most of it, including who I am and my family. Other things are not so clear in my memory."
However, I'm certain that I do have family.
Oh no, he didn't explain it very clearly, but the gist of it was that he really did have a wife and children, and Manyu would cry her eyes out if she knew.
"Now that you remember, you should explain it clearly. Don't make Manyu wait for you forever. Once you step into Lingyunzhi, don't forget that you have a virtuous wife at home."
A good husband will not have extramarital affairs or behave improperly.
Su Luo wanted to remind him that he was a married man and that he shouldn't think about how he had treated her earlier.
Fortunately, my thinking is not so feudal, unlike the girls here who cry and whine as soon as they are hugged.
"Okay! I'll do whatever you say."
Su Luo was still not used to him talking like that, but somehow, as they talked, his mood seemed to improve.
He escorted Su Luo back to the Du residence before leaving. When he arrived, he gave the gift to Yi Huan. He was too dirty to even hold his daughter before going to find Su Luo.
On the third day, Su Luo no longer needed to perform acupuncture on Nangong Chiyu, and things were almost all arranged.
I went to the palace for court early this morning. Besides explaining things to His Majesty and handing over my work, the most important thing today was to say goodbye to Nangong Qing and Nangong Manyu.
The document was handed to His Majesty, and he approved it.
"When the Deputy Minister of Agriculture returns, he must also study agriculture and sericulture more diligently, and must not slack off."
