Perhaps other women would be willing, but she, Lu Changqing, certainly would not be willing, so the result of escaping the marriage was inevitable.
I only hate myself for being so blind that I mistook this unfaithful man for a good match.
Lu Changqing's heart was full of resentment, but seeing that Lu Changxin was very angry, she quickly lowered her head and said, "Brother, I know I was wrong."
Seeing her like this, Lu Changxin suddenly felt sad, "Do you know that after you left, mother became seriously ill?"
Lu Changqing then remembered his family members who had been missing for a long time, and asked anxiously, "Mother is sick? Is she well now?"
Lu Changxin glanced at Lu Changxin, then shook his head.
His attitude made Lu Changqing feel uneasy, and his voice became louder. "How is mother?"
Lu Changxin didn't want to tell Lu Changqing about this, but he had already let it slip, and he couldn't hide it any longer. "Mother's illness came on suddenly, and it could have been cured, but because she was too worried about you, she took care of the disease for a long time. Not only did her condition not get better, but it became more serious. In the end, she passed away before the New Year. Before she died, she was most worried about you."
Lu Changxin is a reserved person, and when he spoke of these words, he was calm as if he was talking about someone else's affairs. However, when it comes to the death of a loved one, even the strongest person cannot remain indifferent.
The calmer Lu Changxin was, the sadder Lu Changqing seemed. She was almost howling, for her own ignorance and for the fact that she couldn't even see her mother for the last time.
Lu Changxin patted Lu Changqing's back slowly and comforted him in a strange way, "You are recovering from your injuries now, so don't be too sad. Your father already knows that you are back. Your father and I have the same idea. When you are better, I will move you back home to recuperate slowly. Then you can burn some incense for your mother."
When a person dies, it's like a light goes out. This is all they can do now.
Hearing this, Lu Changqing sobbed and nodded, and then remembered something, "Father wants to take me back, but I heard from my maids these two days that the eldest daughter of the Lu family, that is, Princess Shen, was burned to death in the Shen Palace a few months ago?"
Lu Changxin nodded, "The Lu family and the Shen Wangfu's forces in the dark have all been mobilized, but they couldn't find any trace of you. The marriage contract between the Shen Wangfu and the Lu family was granted by His Majesty himself. Lu Wan married for you, and someone else had seen you before. If you were exposed, both families would be exterminated. The Shen Wangfu had no choice but to come up with the idea of faking his death."
When Lu Changqing heard this, he couldn't help but worry about himself, "Then when I go home, won't I be able to tell who I am?"
Of course she wanted to go home, but there was no such person as Lu Changqing in the Southern Xia Dynasty now. If she returned home, wouldn't she lose her original identity?
Seeing what Lu Changqing was thinking, Lu Changxin looked at her and said, "You are my father's daughter and my sister. Except that you cannot tell others that you are the daughter of the Lu family, everything else is the same as usual."
Lu Changqing nodded, looking very disappointed.
Seeing this, Lu Changxin rubbed his brows with a headache, "Changqing, when you ran away from home, you should have expected a situation like this."
When Lu Changqing heard this, her heart ached again, but she held back her tears and nodded at Lu Changxin.
Lu Changxin was relieved, and he tucked in the corners of Lu Changqing's quilt, and comforted him gently, "Just rest and recuperate in Prince Shen's mansion these few days. Father and I will help you with other things, so don't worry."
After saying this, he gave some instructions to the maid who was serving Lu Changqing before leaving with peace of mind.
As soon as Lu Changxin left, Lu Changqing sat up abruptly. He first ordered the maids who served him to leave. Then he cried and smashed everything he could. Then he buried himself in the quilt and cried again.
When the housekeeper came, he saw this messy scene and was stunned for a moment. Then he raised his voice a little and said, "Although it is not appropriate to disturb Miss Lu at this time, I am here on the orders of the prince. I will leave after a few words."
Lu Changqing was crying so hard that she didn't notice the stranger coming. She was startled when she heard the housekeeper's voice. Then she poked her head out from under the quilt, looked at the housekeeper with red eyes, and asked, "Is it Prince Shen?"
The butler was polite and did not rush into the inner room. He just stood in the outer room and talked behind the curtain.
"The prince asked me to tell Miss Lu that you should just stay in Prince Shen's mansion and recuperate during this period. We will take care of the rest for you. When your injuries are healed, we will send you back to the Lu Mansion."
Lu Changqing's voice was still hoarse from crying. She nodded to the housekeeper, "In that case, please ask the housekeeper to thank King Shen for me."
"Don't worry, Miss Lu. I will definitely convey your message."
After saying that, the butler bowed to Lu Changqing and turned to leave.
Lu Changqing felt a little uneasy. After all, this was not his home. He had just lost his temper and thrown so many things. He just hoped that King Shen would not blame him after knowing it.
Lu Wan didn't know what was happening here with Lu Changqing. She was staying in her own little courtyard, drinking tea and eating cakes comfortably. Now that she was a patient, she didn't even have to do small things like eating snacks by herself. Her life was really comfortable.
She had already thought it through. Now that Chen Yan was back, if there was anything, she would just let Chen Yan handle it. She would hide in her own bed tomorrow and sleep comfortably until she woke up naturally.
The daylight outside was fading, and the maids had already turned on the lights in the corridor. Lu Wan was half full after having some snacks. After a loud yawn, she was about to ask the servants to bring her a bowl of porridge. Before she could open her mouth, she saw people from the kitchen, led by Huayi, coming in from outside. After a while, the table was filled with delicious food and wine.
