Xiao Lingyu got on the carriage, quickly took out a pill from his arms and put it in his mouth, picked up the tea on the coffee table and swallowed it.
After feeling the redness and swelling on my face subside, I took off the veil.
"Xiao Yu."
"Mother."
Su Xingyi and Su Ningan stared at Xiao Lingyu's face, which was gradually returning to normal, with confusion and heartache.
How could it be so white and smooth, with a face full of rashes in such a short period of time and now gradually returning to normal?
The father and son were puzzled by this.
Xiao Lingyu looked at the expressions of the father and son, smiled slightly, and felt the need to make up a lie, so he lowered his voice and said:
"The Cui family is very suspicious. I was worried that even with the veil and mask on, I wouldn't be safe, so I made extra preparations. I just left Fushou Hall and used a little bit of medicine powder on my face, which is why this happened."
"Xiao Yu, you actually poisoned yourself?" Su Xingyi was anxious and shocked.
"Don't worry, I've already taken the antidote. It's similar to itching powder. I made it while treating your eye disease. I used it as a self-defense measure in case of emergency. It came in handy today."
Su Xingyi breathed a sigh of relief. "Next time, don't poison yourself. With us here, you don't need to do anything to hurt yourself."
"Yes, mother, please don't do such stupid things again. My brothers and sisters will be angry with me if they find out, and my Dali will feel uncomfortable if I don't use it."
"Okay." Xiao Lingyu promised: "I will never do anything stupid again, but this is the only way to dispel the Cui family's suspicion..."
Su Ningan frowned: "The Cui family is so annoying. Not only are they rude, but they also want to take the rare ingredients for themselves."
"Don't worry, mother won't give them a chance."
"Oh, by the way, that half of the mask seems to be missing."
Su Ning'an suddenly mentioned this matter, and Xiao Lingyu secretly said that it was not good, so she put it into the space.
"Maybe it fell into Cui Mansion."
"No, I looked around on the ground and didn't find any trace of the mask."
Xiao Lingyu said, "Maybe mother forgot to wear it."
"You wore it. I remember it clearly."
"That's strange." Xiao Lingyu pretended to be surprised. "How could he disappear for no reason? He must have gone to Cui's mansion."
Su Ningan scratched his head: "...Maybe it really fell in Cui's house, maybe I didn't look carefully enough just now."
Su Xingyi: "The mask is gone, so let it be. I'll ask Master Zhang to polish another one for your mother."
"Xingyi, there's no need to polish it anymore. I can't wear it more than a few times."
"It's not working, mother. You need to come to Cui's house for a follow-up visit."
"Okay, okay, I'll do as you say."
Xiao Lingyu stopped talking, closed his eyes and leaned back on the couch.
Su Xingyi looked at Xiao Lingyu's face carefully for a few seconds.
Recalling the scene just now, his eyes moved to the straps around her chest.
After a pause, he looked at her cuffs again...
"No room for negotiation!"
Lu Shiyuan flatly rejected Si Zhenye's proposal.
"She's my eldest granddaughter, she needs to take good care of herself under my watch!"
"Grandpa Lu, A Yuan is my eldest daughter-in-law. Her mother-in-law and I will take good care of her and won't let her suffer any grievances." Si Zhenye said slowly: "At that time, A Yuan was pregnant and busy managing the Lu family business. The child..."
Si Zhenye paused and secretly glanced at Lu Shiyuan's expression.
Sure enough, Lu Shiyuan frowned when he heard this.
Si Zhenye continued, "Well, let's not talk about this anymore. Yuan'er will go back to the Si Mansion to take care of the pregnancy. I'll leave the hard work to my eldest son. Let him take Jie'er to take care of the various shops of the Lu family... If Yuan'er lived in the Lu Mansion, she would definitely not want Jie'er to run around the shops at such a young age. After all, the eldest sister is like a mother, and she would definitely have to pay attention to the affairs of the shops, which would prevent her from concentrating on taking care of the pregnancy..."
Lu Shiyuan thought it made sense, and it was indeed inappropriate for his eldest granddaughter to stay at her mother's house to recuperate.
After all, the Si family is a prominent family. For so many years, the Si family has allowed Chu Yu to live in the Lu family and helped the Lu family manage the business. Other families might say something sarcastic behind their backs.
This is a good opportunity to let Yuan'er return to her husband's home and be the eldest lady of the Si family.
"Zhenye, you just saw Yuan'er yawning while talking to us. She seems to be sleepy and can't wake up. Madam Su said she will be like this for some time. How about waiting three months, when Yuan'er has had enough sleep, and then returning to the Si Mansion?"
Si Zhenye smiled and said, "In that case, let's do it in three months."
Si Chujin looked at his father speechlessly on the side. Didn’t he say that it would be more efficient if he came along?
You agreed to it three months later?!
＊
"Mom, what time is it now?"
"Yuan'er, slow down."
Simeng hurried to the bedside and gently helped her up, fearing that she would bump into something.
"It's almost noon now. You're in a heavy state, so be careful."
Lu Yuan: "...Mom, Fenyue is still young, don't worry too much. I just like to sleep now, unlike six years ago when I would throw up as soon as I ate."
"That's great. If we discover it early and adjust our daily diet, we won't suffer as much as we did back then."
Yu said, "Sister-in-law, mother is right. Madam Su will give you a prescription for pregnancy care when she comes back later. Then we can go back to the Si Mansion together, shall we?"
"Mother, sister-in-law, I still have some things to say about the Lu family. There are some finishing touches to be arranged. Madam Su is still living in the Lu Mansion. With her around, she can help look after me every day. Didn't you say that after the first three months, the pregnancy will be stable?"
Simeng's eyes lit up. The first three months were indeed dangerous. With Madam Su accompanying A Yuan, she felt much more at ease.
"Okay, then. Three months later, you and your mother will return to the Si Mansion to take care of the baby. Then don't make excuses not to go back."
