Su Xingyi quickly said, "Then let's go visit him together tomorrow."
Upon hearing this, Xiao Lingyu took a sip of herbal tea and said, "I plan to stay at Luoxia Cottage for three days so as not to neglect my brother."
After Xiao Lingyu finished speaking, he stared at his face, not missing any expression on his face.
Su Xingyi frowned upon hearing this, and a look of displeasure flashed across his eyes.
See, he cares.
No man would allow his wife to stay out all night with another man.
Although they are only husband and wife in name only.
He just heard him say, "Don't we have to buy fresh flowers and potted plants tomorrow to continue making the scented water? I'll stay with you at Luoxia Cottage for three days and make the scented water while we're there, so we can both do it without any delay."
Xiao Lingyu opened his mouth, but Su Xingyi interrupted, "Don't worry about the rare ingredients. Brother Jie is staying at home for three nights, so let him and Brother An look after the house. We'll take the two little ones and stay at Luoxia Cottage. What do you think?"
Xiao Lingyu stroked his forehead, thinking that he would disagree with her actions.
Then I asked him the reason and guided him to tell me his true thoughts about her. He actually arranged everything!
"Okay, let's do as you wish. We'll each go and rest for a while, and then come with me to the valley this afternoon."
"Xiao Yu, wait a moment."
Xiao Lingyu stood up and went back to his room, but was stopped by Su Xingyi.
"What's wrong?"
Su Xingyi was speechless for a moment, and whispered:
"...Although we are not actually husband and wife, this matter is known only to you and me."
Xiao Lingyu curled his lips, "What do you want to say?"
Su Xingyi scratched his head. "We're staying at Luoxia Cottage for three days. You can't let me sleep in the east wing. I want to go with you to the main room. You and I are not married, so your brother can't know about it, so he doesn't worry about you and affect his recovery."
Xiao Lingyu thought about the configuration of the main bedroom. It had a large carved nanmu bed and a beauty couch. "Okay, you and Xiao Xi'er will live in the main house, and Wen Ge'er will live in the east wing."
Su Xingyi was secretly delighted, "Then Xiaoyu, go and have a rest."

Lu Yuan and Si Chuyu checked the 4,000 bottles of fragrant dew brought back by Wei Xiao and others, kept one bottle of Xihanxiang, and arranged for their trusted steward to start distributing the product in a low-key manner in the counties and prefectures in the south of Beiyi, starting from the familiar Huayang County.
"Ayu, Beiyi's northern counties, including Kyoto, need your people."
Si Chuyu didn't understand why Xiao Lingyu wanted to spread the fragrant dew to all the counties in Beiyi in such a short time. He replied, "Okay, leave the north to me. I just wonder what difficult situation the Su family has encountered?"
Lu Yuan said, "Brother Jie will come to the county tomorrow to deliver chili peppers. Let's ask him. He should know something."
"By the way, A Yuan, the wall around the bamboo forest has been under construction for a long time. We should also arrange for people to go over there and build the paper mill."
"I'll tell Madam Su about this tomorrow when she comes over, and I'll arrange for the craftsman to come over in three days."
Soon, the couple arrived at Lu Yao's yard.
"Aunt San, do I look good in this purple dress today?"
Lu Yao covered half of her face with a round fan, revealing a pair of innocent eyes as she turned around in front of Chen.
Chen came to Lu Yao's yard every day, making sure she took her medicine on time and telling her interesting stories that happened before she was nine years old. With Su Ningjie accompanying her these days, Lu Yao's spirits were getting better day by day.
Looking at her innocent eyes at this moment, I feel both happy and worried.
Do you remember it?
The words stuck in his mouth, he dared not ask, and replied kindly and gently: "Beautiful, our sister Yaoer is getting more and more beautiful as she grows up."
"Aunt San, my eldest brother should have arrived at Guihua Village by now, right?" Lu Yao lowered her long, black eyelashes, and the expression in her eyes could not be seen clearly.
"Your eldest sister said that Guihua Village is not far away, and Brother Jie rushed there at dawn. He might have just woken up from a nap like us."
Lu Yao twirled the round fan in her hand, "Big brother is my biological brother, right?"
"Yes, he inherited the red mole on his face from your grandmother, and his eyes are like your father's."
When Lu Yao first heard the word "father", her brain ached and a series of images flashed through her mind.
"Yao'er, did you remember something?"
Lu Yao rubbed her temples heavily, "Aunt San, I can't seem to remember what my father looks like...
"Sister Yao'er." Lu Yuan came quickly with Xi Hanxiang in her hand and sent all the servants outside. "Come on, smell it and see if it's the scent you like."
Lu Yuan opened the bottle cap and handed a bottle of Xihanxiang to Lu Yao's nose.
Before Lu Yao could inhale, the scent of Xi Hanxiang unconsciously penetrated into Lu Yao's nostrils.
Lu Yao quickly put the cap back on the bottle and held the entire bottle of Xihanxiang tightly in her arms. "This is Xiao Xier's fragrance dew."
Lu Yuan smiled and nodded: "Yes, its name is Xi Hanxiang."
"I want it all to myself."
Lu Yuan caressed her shoulders and whispered, "This is just for you. I'll buy you more when you're done."
"Ayuan, this bottle of perfume and the perfume in Yao'er's room were both made by Madam Su?"
"Yes, Madam Su is very clever and skillful. She might have many wonderful things that we haven't seen yet."
Chen nodded and said, "How much does this fragrant dew cost per bottle?"
"1,000 taels."
“It’s a little expensive.”
"Things are valuable because they are rare. However, Madam Su wants to keep a low profile and avoid trouble. She doesn't want people to know that this perfume was made by her."
"Aunt San won't tell anyone else, but she'll have to keep the servants under control..."
Lu Yuan and Chen were talking, and they didn't notice Lu Yao's abnormality.
I saw her taking a deep breath of the Xi Hanxiang that was stuck on her clothes, and her eyes were filled with red.
She looked at Lu Yuan's flat belly, then looked at her own height, and with red eyes, she quietly returned to her room and locked herself in the room.
Lu Yao held back her tears and looked at the beauty in the bronze mirror with some disbelief.
She has grown so big!
I can't remember my father and mother's faces very clearly.
She tried to recall the appearance of her father and mother from her own face.
She saw her father standing at the bow and said to her, "Yao'er, Daddy will bring you many new and interesting things. You must listen to your sister at home. Your mother is pregnant with your brother, so you must take good care of her for Daddy."
"Dad, I will take good care of Mom and listen to my sister. However, you still have to come back soon. We will miss you if you stay away for too long..."
"No! He is your nephew, you will die a miserable death!"
The bloody bedroom, the hideous face, and the mother's cries of pain echoed in his mind for a long time.
Lu Yao's bloodshot eyes were filled with hatred. When Su Ningjie's face appeared before her, Lu Yao's psychological defenses broke.
I buried myself in the bed, tears streaming down my face like they did six years ago, sobbing silently...
But this time there is no fear or terror, only heartache and sadness...
