Chapter 342 Their Lord is back!
Yuzhu's face turned pale.
She tried to remain calm and said, "You've come to the wrong place. There's no girl named Yuzhu here. Look somewhere else."
Li Yuandao: "No, I just heard this kid call you Sister Yuzhu."
Yuzhu: "You, you heard wrong, he called her Sister Yuru, as in "Ru" (like a flower or jade).
Li Yuan: “…”
He couldn't help but laugh.
This smile made Yuzhu even more panicked. She held the stick, protected the child behind her, and looked at Li Yuan vigilantly.
Li Yuan knew that jokes should be kept within limits.
When he had laughed enough, he cupped his fists towards Yuzhu and said, "I am Li Yuan, and I am here on the orders of Commander Xiao Ning to invite Miss Yuzhu back to Beijing for a reunion."
When Yuzhu heard Xiao Ning's name, the stick in her hand fell to the ground with a thud.
"You...are the Marquis's man?"
Li Yuan nodded, "I am the deputy general of the Xiao family army."
As he said this, he took out an envelope from his arms and handed it to Yuzhu.
Yuzhu stared at Li Yuan warily for a while, and seeing that he was indeed upright and did not look like a bad person, she bravely stepped forward, took the letter from his hand and began to read it.
When Yuzhu saw the familiar handwriting, she almost burst into tears.
Her Lord is really back!
Xiao Ning didn't write much in the letter, only asking her to take everyone back to Beijing first.
After reading the letter, Yuzhu folded the letter paper and stuffed it into her chest.
Li Yuan watched her movements, his heart skipping a beat before he took it out of his arms...
Before Li Yuan could feel awkward for a few seconds, he was kicked hard on the instep.
Li Yuan's handsome face twisted in pain for a moment.
"Is it fun to scare me?!"
Yuzhu's eyebrows were raised and her face was full of anger.
That was really fun.
My feet just hurt a little.
But Li Yuan gritted his teeth and endured it.
After all, it was wrong for him to scare people.
But when he saw her like a frightened little rabbit just now, he felt like teasing her.
He cupped his fists towards Yuzhu and said with a puzzled look on his face, "Miss Yuzhu, when have I ever scared you?"
Yuzhu: "Why aren't you scared..."
Thinking about it carefully, it seems that he really didn't say anything scary, and his attitude was even gentle.
She was feeling uneasy and had a preconceived notion that he was here to cause trouble.
But no matter how hard she tried, she could not have imagined that Xiao Ning would come back so suddenly!
But apart from Xiao Ning, no one else would guess that they would hide here.
Yuzhu twisted her skirt with her fingers, knelt down towards Li Yuan, and apologized, "I'm sorry, I misunderstood you, General. General Li is a magnanimous person. Please don't hold it against me."
Li Yuan looked at her, his lips curved, "It's okay, I didn't explain it clearly at the beginning and scared Miss Yuzhu, it's my fault."
Hearing Li Yuan's words, Yuzhu's dissatisfaction with Li Yuan due to the shock instantly disappeared.
She said, "General Li, please go inside and sit down and rest for a while. Chunsheng and the others have gone up the mountain and haven't come back yet. When they come back, we'll go back to Beijing together."
Li Yuan nodded.
So Yuzhu invited the man into the house and enthusiastically served him tea and water.
Li Yuan called out to Yuzhu and said with a smile, "Miss Yuzhu, there's no need to be busy. Sit down and rest for a while. I'm not thirsty."
Yuzhu said angrily, "You have come from afar. If this servant doesn't even offer you a sip of tea, how can that be considered decent?"
Li Yuan watched Yuzhu busying around in and out, and poured him more tea and brought him some snacks.
There were children leaning against the door and looking inside.
Li Yuan waved to the child.
A bunch of children immediately gathered around.
Li Yuan distributed the snacks that Yuzhu had just brought to the table to the children.
Yuzhu came in and saw this, and stamped her feet in anger, "Give them some snacks now, or they won't be able to eat properly later!"
Li Yuan was stunned by the scolding.
He touched his nose and whispered, "Sorry, it's my fault, don't be angry, girl."
Yuzhu took a deep breath and said, "Forget it, it's okay, I don't blame you."
"General Li doesn't have any children yet..."
Li Yuan: “No.”
Yuzhu said: "I can see it."
I don't know how to take care of children at all.
Li Yuan: “…”
I see it, and you still ask?
Yuzhu asked again: "You haven't gotten married yet, have you?"
Li Yuan nodded. "I've been following the general in battle for the past few years and have no time to think about these things."
Upon hearing this, Yuzhu's eyes rolled and she smiled ambiguously, "Did the general say or do anything to you during the years you followed him?"
Li Yuan's mouth twitched, and he pretended to be puzzled and asked, "What should the general do to me?"
Yuzhu covered her mouth and said, "Nothing, nothing."
As he spoke, he looked at Li Yuan.
Yuzhu felt that given her lord's temper, he must have taken advantage of him a lot.
After all, this man's appearance and demeanor are very much to the Marquis's liking.
Of course, it suits her taste.
Perhaps, the general was taking advantage of him, and this person thought it was just a normal exchange between good brothers, hahahaha...
Yuzhu's thoughts were written all over her face, and Li Yuan was speechless.
How little does this girl know about the general?
Apart from taking advantage of her eyes, she never overstepped the boundaries in her behavior.
Besides, ever since His Highness came, the general no longer dared to take advantage of her even with his eyes.
At noon, Chunsheng and others came back.
When they left the Marquis' Mansion, they took a lot of property with them, but the Marquis's return date was uncertain, and the number of orphans in the charity hall had been increasing day by day, so they had to be careful with their money.
Chunsheng and several other servants went to the mountains to reclaim wasteland and grow some food to supplement the family income. Maids like Yuzhu would also do some embroidery work when they had nothing to do and ask others to sell it.
It was harvest season recently and everyone went to the fields to work. Yuzhu stayed in the charity hall to look after the children.
When Chunsheng and others heard the news that Xiao Ning had returned to Beijing, they hugged each other and cried with joy.
Their Lord is back!
They don't have to worry anymore...
After being together for more than half a year, when they left, the children cried so hard that their noses were covered with snot.
Yuzhu patted the child's head and said, "Be good, listen to Aunt Wang and the others at home. Your brothers and sisters will come back to see you in a few days."
Yuzhu and several other girls got on the carriage. Li Yuan followed beside the carriage on horseback, watching them lift the curtains and the children crying loudly as they were stopped by Aunt Wang and others.
Yuzhu's eyes turned red.
She was also reluctant to leave these little monkeys, but she missed her Lord Marquis even more.
They haven't seen each other for three years.
I wonder if the Marquis has become thinner or darker, or if he's eating well outside...
Chunsheng and others sat on the shaft of the carriage.
The carriage was heading towards Shengjing, and the people who were seeing them off gradually turned into small black dots until they could no longer be seen.
Yuzhu let go of the curtain and sat back in the carriage.
Li Yuan also withdrew his gaze and looked forward.
Chunsheng said, "General Li, our Lord is not seriously injured, is he?"
Li Yuan replied, "The general is brave and has never been seriously injured."
As soon as the words fell, the car window curtain was opened again.
Yuzhu asked anxiously, "Hasn't been seriously injured? Does that mean she's had a lot of minor injuries?"
Li Yuandao: "No, don't worry, girl."
How could Yuzhu not worry? That was her Lord Marquis.
