Chapter 64 What's in the purse
Yuan Wanru covered her mouth and kept shaking her head.
He really dared to think about it and asked it out loud.
Lu Jiangnian's face was very calm. He gently pushed her to an open space and said, "Don't ask if you can't do it."
Then he bent down to pick up the flowers.
Yuan Wanru's heart was beating like thunder and she couldn't describe the feeling.
What does he mean? Does he have to kiss her if she lets him?
He is really becoming less and less innocent.
However, afterwards, she was very quiet and didn't dare to talk nonsense anymore.
This man is a martial arts master. If I really provoke him into going crazy, I will be the one who suffers.
She chose a clean place, put a towel under her, sat down, and waited quietly.
The sun gradually moved westwards and everything around was very quiet, with only the occasional sneezing of horses and the sound of the wind.
She was so immersed in it that she almost forgot that this was ancient times. In such a leisurely and comfortable environment, she actually felt drowsy when she closed her eyes.
She couldn't tell how much time had passed before someone gently pushed her and she opened her hazy eyes: "Well, is there an emergency?"
What came into view was a stunningly handsome face, and she instantly realized that this was not a hospital.
"What's the hurry?"
Lu Jiangnian didn't hear clearly for a moment, but Yuan Wanru had already stood up: "Have you packed everything?"
All the flowers on the ground were wrapped in the purple robe. Fortunately, he was tall and had plenty of fabric, so he solved the problem with just one piece of clothing.
"Then how are you going to get back?"
Only at this time did she realize that Lu Jiangnian was actually wearing a sky blue brocade robe.
"Where did you get your clothes?"
She looked at him in surprise, and he said mysteriously, "Guess."
He would never tell her that while she was sleeping, he asked Xuanying to ride at full speed to the city to buy a robe.

When I returned home, it was not yet dark.
Nanny Pang was waiting anxiously at the gatehouse, and when she saw them come back, she breathed a sigh of relief.
If she hadn't had something to do today, she wouldn't be in a hurry even if the eldest young lady and the eldest young master didn't come back all night.
"Madam, Hawthorn and Magpie have been captured by the Madam."
Lu Jiangnian helped her get off the horse. Hearing this, he couldn't help but ask, "Why? Who is Shanzha, and who is Xi Que?"
Aunt Pang said a few words briefly, and Lu Jiangnian glanced at Yuan Wanru: "Is this your plan?"
Yuan Wanru gave him a cold look: "What nonsense are you talking about? If someone wants to do something bad, can I stop them?"
"Please help me send the flowers back to Lingshuiju, Aunt Pang, we will go to Wangchuntang now."
Lu Jiangnian pointed at a servant at the gate and said, "Did you hear what the eldest young lady said? The flowers are sent to Lingshuiju. Please handle them with care. If one of them breaks, I will come to you."
The servant took a big bag of flowers from Lu Jiangnian, feeling very nervous and terrified. It was so difficult not to damage any of them.
Yuan Wanru glared at him and said, "Don't listen to him. Just take it carefully. I won't blame you if it breaks."
Nanny Pang could see that the eldest young master was worried about the eldest young lady and insisted on going to Wangchun Hall with her.
That’s great. Don’t think that her eyes are blurry because of her old age. She has already seen that the eldest master’s eyes have never left the eldest young lady’s wife.
I went out today and something good happened.
She really wanted to know, but didn't know who to ask, and she was a little anxious.
-
In Wangchun Hall, Madam Lu, Wang Min, and Zhou Fang were already sitting in the hall.
Liang Yusong also sat quietly in an armchair.
After Lu Jiangnian and Yuan Wanru came in, Madam Lu was very dissatisfied and took the lead in attacking: "Your high-ranking officials are becoming more and more arrogant. After arresting two servants, Wang Shi refused to let them be punished or interrogated, and insisted on waiting for the prince's wife to come back."
"And you two are so late, making us, the elders, wait until dark before showing up."
"You are bullying me because my son is not here, right?"
Lu Jiangnian bowed respectfully and said slowly, "Today I took my wife out without any servants, so I don't know what happened in the mansion. Grandma's words don't make sense."
"My mother wanted to wait for us to come back. She must have her reasons. Even if my father was here, my mother should be the one making the decisions regarding matters in the inner house."
Yuan Wanru didn't want to play witty games with Madam Lu. Her mood had been up and down today and she was too lazy to talk about big principles.
“Isn’t this the hawthorn next to me?”
"Mom, what did she do wrong?"
Wang Min ignored Madam Lu's complaints and said, "Shanzha stole a purse from your room and secretly gave it to Xi Que, but was caught by Madam Gui."
"Not only did Madam Gui see this, Miss Liang also saw it. They caught the perpetrators red-handed and cannot deny it."
"The servants are acting sneaky, and this matter involves the second house. I will have to ask the old lady and my brother and sister-in-law to interrogate them together."
Yuan Wanru's mood suddenly improved.
She had thought about it before, if Zhou Fang turned around and accused the eldest wife of false accusations, how would she break the deadlock.
No one is more suitable to be a witness than Liang Yusong.
After all, Madam Lu liked her very much, and she was a kind and pure person. Zhou Fang couldn't question what she said.
Since Liang Yusong is thinking about Lu Jiangnian, she cannot offend Wang Min for the sake of Old Madam Lu. The best way is to say whatever she sees.
In this case, Cao Lanxin was bound to have some resentment towards Liang Yusong.
If she hadn't interfered, would the document have been successfully retrieved?
Yuan Wanru asked in surprise: "Is there such a thing?"
"In previous years, Second Aunt always asked me to borrow ice cubes, saying that Second Brother had a hard time studying in the summer, and I always gave them to him."
"If Second Aunt wants something, she should just come and borrow it openly. Why do she have to do such petty theft? It's so embarrassing."
Zhou Fang said angrily, "Wanru, don't say anything careless. What happened between Xi Que and Shan Zha? The trial hasn't started yet. Don't rush to accuse me."
"It's just a purse, sister-in-law, you're making a fuss."
Wang Min sneered: "What if there are several thousand taels of silver in the purse?"
"What if it's a title deed?"
"Or is it something more important?"
Madam Lu slammed the table heavily and said, "Since the big shots are back, you should let me see what valuable things are in your purse that are worth all the trouble."
After the incident, Wang Min handed the purse to Liang Yusong for safekeeping, and of course, also asked her not to leave Wangchuntang.
For a moment, everyone's eyes fell on Liang Yusong.
Liang Yusong was holding the purse at this moment, as if he was holding a landmine.
She remained calm, looked at everyone, and then ripped open her purse.
Lu Jiangnian didn't pay attention to the purse. Instead, he looked at Yuan Wanru, who was eating cakes beside him, and asked quietly, "Is there a note written by Cao Lanxin in it?"
Yuan Wanru smiled sweetly and replied, "Guess."
Lu Jiangnian: ...
What a familiar sentence.
This woman is vindictive.
