Chapter 31 Could the thief who stole the clothes be someone else?
Cao Lanxin was so angry that she wanted to catch the thief, but ended up fainting from anger and ending up in a miserable state.
I don’t know if she will regret it.
It was late at night and Yuan Wanru was not in a hurry to ask for the red gold headdress.
Cao Lanxin was already dizzy, but she still kept pursuing him, which was quite unmannerly.
She will go collect the debt another day when Cao Lanxin is in a better mood.
On the sixth day of July, the night breeze was cool in early autumn, the Milky Way was looming in the sky, and a half-crescent moon hung in the distance in the sky, like the eyebrows of a young girl, graceful and cool.
In the shadows of the tall and dark trees, there were tiny flickers of light, sometimes bright and sometimes dim, sometimes high and sometimes low.
Yuan Wanru guessed that it should be a firefly.
She and Lu Jiangnian returned to Lingshuiju in silence all the way.
A deep and magnetic male voice came from the side: "He was really ruthless and managed to get the whole set of headgear in one go."
"It's just that although you won, you completely offended the Cao sisters, and your grandmother sees you as a thorn in her side. Don't you think you've made too many enemies?"
Yuan Wanru smiled contentedly, and she raised her hand to fiddle with the loose hair on her temples.
"The old lady doesn't like me in the first place, and it's even less likely that the Cao sisters will like me. They have always been hostile to me, and they didn't just make enemies today."
"They wanted to cheat me, and I cheated them back. Everything is a cycle of cause and effect."
"If an enemy comes, we will fight him; if a flood comes, we will block it with earth. There is nothing to be afraid of."
Lu Jiangnian looked at her with interest. The big lanterns under the eaves of the corridor cast warm light, falling on her curved brows and clear eyes.
The girl's lips curled up and her eyes were determined.
For the first time, he felt curious about the woman in front of him.
I thought that she must have some ulterior motive in trying so hard to become his wife.
It's not that he is too confident. There are many girls in the capital who want to discuss marriage with him. It's not surprising that Yuan Wanru has that idea.
He always thought that she would take advantage of her status as his wife to get close to him, try to please him in every way, and try to win his favor.
But, she didn't.
These days, except for today, she has never taken the initiative to look for him.
In his impression, she was taciturn, timid, and had no sense of existence.
But the person in front of me is confident, intelligent, and radiant.
What kind of person is she and why does she want to marry him?
His eyes were complicated as he stared at her in a daze. His calm face was stern and majestic, like a dormant beast, waiting for an opportunity to pounce on her in the next moment.
Yuan Wanru felt a chill down her spine for some reason: "What are you doing? Why are you looking at me like that?"
Lu Jiangnian retracted his gaze and said lightly, "Nothing, we will set off tomorrow."
Huh, it’s earlier than she thought. She thought he would go out after noon.
"Shall we go to the night market tonight?"
"go."
Yuan Wanru went to Rongshoutang alone tonight, and his mother was furious.
If he doesn't take her shopping tomorrow night, my mother won't know how long she will nag him.
Yuan Wanru nodded excitedly. It was really rare to be able to go out and play for a day.
"What about the others?"
Lu Jiangnian smiled and said, "Tomorrow, it's just you and me."
Yuan Wanru frowned, thought for a while, and understood what he meant.
Liang Yusong injured his waist and would definitely not be able to go. After the scene the Cao sisters had tonight, how could he have the nerve to go with them tomorrow?
What Wang Min hopes most now is that Lu Jiangnian and Yuan Wanru can live in harmony. If no outside guests go, she should stop the girls at home from going with them.
Alas, Wang Min’s efforts were in vain.
Lu Jiangnian glanced at the lilac-colored skirt she was wearing. All the charming scenery was hidden under the slightly loose clothes, and it was finally not so dazzling.
He was satisfied, but he had to ask one more question: "Didn't you say you liked that dress very much?"
"Why don't you continue wearing it?"
Yuan Wanru laughed out of anger. He was becoming more and more nosy. Did he really treat him as her husband?
Even if they are a real couple, it is her freedom to wear whatever she wants.
She used to be a doctor and was not used to wearing tight clothes. She only liked to wear loose and comfortable clothes so that she could feel at ease at work.
If she really liked wearing tight clothes, she would wear them even if it pissed him off to death.
“No matter how beautiful the clothes are, you can’t wear them all the time. They won’t feel fresh anymore.”
She stretched out her hand and pulled her sleeves, her eyes raised: "I'll wear it to show others when I go out another day."
Lu Jiangnian narrowed his eyes slightly, and said in a tone that carried an inexplicable danger: "You still want to wear it and go out?"
"Why not?"
She smiled slightly and looked at him provocatively.
"Liu Yan, close the door."
Having said that, he walked into the Mian Yue Pavilion, leaving the arrogant man standing there.
She could feel his eyes fixed on her back.
-
Back in the room, Aunt Pang looked at her with dismay, "Madam, why don't you invite the eldest young master in?"
"Why invite him in so late?"
Aunt Pang was furious: "You are husband and wife, why did you invite him in?"
Yuan Wanru deliberately changed the subject: "Well, we are husband and wife. Tomorrow we are going to Xiangyuan Temple together. I heard that the marriage fortune sticks in Xiangyuan Temple are the most effective. I should pray carefully tomorrow."
"Mammy, we will be leaving early tomorrow, so please go to bed early at night."
What else can Aunt Pang do?
I had no choice but to ask Liu Yan and Liu Zhi to help Yuan Wanru wash up quickly so as not to delay tomorrow's matters.
Sure enough, just as Yuan Wanru had thought, when she was about to go to bed, Wang Min sent someone over to say that she would lead the girls in the family to make snacks tomorrow and prepare for the night worship of the Weaver Girl, so the girls would not go with them tomorrow.
Aunt Pang immediately smiled.
-
The next day, Nanny Pang got up early in the morning and searched through the boxes for most of the day before she picked out a piece of clothing that she liked.
At her strong request, Yuan Wanru was pressed down by the three of them and dressed up carefully.
While eating breakfast, Liuzhi had a sad face and no one knew what he was thinking about.
Yuan Wanru saw her appearance and asked with concern: "What's wrong? What happened so early in the morning?"
Liuzhi said with a bitter face: "Didn't you come back yesterday wearing the clothes of the cousin of the Cao family?"
"When I changed it in the evening, I took it to the laundry room and asked them to wash it carefully and return it to my cousin someday."
"This morning, the maid from the laundry room came to say that the clothes were missing."
Liu Yan was also surprised. She said hesitantly, "Cousin couldn't bear to part with it, so she sent someone to take it back."
Liuzhi shook his head: "No, the people in the laundry said that no one had taken it. How did it disappear?"
I don't know what she was thinking about, her face became more and more ugly: "Could it be that someone deliberately stole it and framed Madam?"
Just like the red gold hairpin, on the surface it was given to the eldest young lady's wife, but secretly a trap was set up to falsely accuse her of stealing it.
Yuan Wanru laughed out loud. Even if Cao Lanxin was a fool, she would not do such a thing.
But, what a coincidence, the clothes were lost?
Could it be someone?
Is he so cruel to prevent him from wearing that clothes?
-
When they arrived at the gate of the Marquis' Mansion, Lu Jiangnian was already riding on a horse, waiting quietly.
He heard the voice and looked over.
Yuan Wanru did not see the fleeting light in his eyes.
The young girl, with a smile on her face and a pair of beautiful eyes filled with excitement and joy, walked towards him with brisk steps.
She was wearing a light pink skirt, and the ribbon around her waist outlined her slender waist and plumpness, just like a lotus flower blooming in a lotus pond in the early morning, containing crystal clear dewdrops, fresh and juicy.
A gilded hibiscus hairpin inlaid with rubies was inserted in her long black hair, and her pretty face was lightly powdered. She was so beautiful and energetic that one could not take their eyes away for a moment.
Yuan Wanru didn't know what time it was. She quickened her pace, looked up at Lu Jiangnian, and asked with a smile, "Am I not late?"
The bright autumn sunshine, shining from the high sky onto the earth, fell on his tall and slender body. He was wearing a sky-blue robe with cloud patterns today, and his cuffs embroidered with green bamboo patterns were slightly rolled up, revealing his strong wrists.
A pair of large hands with distinct joints casually held the reins, with a relaxed and unrestrained posture, yet with a sharpness that could not be ignored.
With the appearance of a dragon and the grace of a phoenix, his spirit covers the clouds.
In just a moment, she had come off the horse, looking up at him, their eyes intertwined, invisibly entangled.
His eyes were as dark as ink: "It's still early, get in the car."
Yuan Wanru boarded the carriage and looked at the figure leading the way in front of her. She felt that this scene seemed familiar.
She just remembered that when he sent her to Baima Street that day, it was just like today.
There is no mention of going out on Valentine's Day in the book.
The original owner fell ill because he was punished to kneel in the ancestral hall and is still lying in bed.
I wonder if I will meet Princess Le'an today?
In the book, Princess Le'an kept pestering Lu Jiangnian and never gave up. She stayed with him for a long time before leaving.
The carriage was moving along when it suddenly stopped. Xiangyuan Temple was not that close. Could it be that she was a jinx and Princess Le'an was here to block them again?
She lifted the curtain of the carriage and looked out, only to see that they had stopped in front of a three-story building. On the first-floor door hung a black lacquered plaque with gold characters: Qingfeng Building.
Lu Jiangnian arrived in front of the car: "Get out."
She stared over and asked: "Why are you here?"
"I have something to do. Please stay here for a while. We will go to Xiangyuan Temple later."
Yuan Wanru stopped asking questions. She had no interest in hearing about Lu Jiangnian's affairs.
Before, she had heard that Qingfenglou had several specialties, and her eyes widened slightly: "In this case, why don't we have lunch at Qingfenglou."
Lu Jiangnian had already noticed that this woman had a strong appetite and she must be thinking about the dishes at Qingfeng Tower.
"what ever."
Sure enough, her eyes suddenly burst into light like fireworks and shone like stars.
