Chapter 99: As Sweet as Honey
Yuan Wanru was stunned at first.
Thinking of how he protected her everywhere tonight, her heart began to soften.
"You really think so?"
Lu Jiangnian's sharp eyes suddenly became much brighter. He lowered his head to look at her and said, "I want to."
Clean and neat, but obviously eager.
She looked at him deeply, her eyes moving with tenderness.
His heart moved. Could it be that she was really moved by what he said?
Then, she took the initiative to snuggle into his arms, her pair of white hands climbed up the front of his shirt, her hands tightly grasped the clothes, she looked up at him, her voice soft and her expression clear and innocent.
"But we agreed to meet once every two weeks, and now the time is not yet here. Does this count as breaking the contract?"
His straight eyelashes trembled slightly and his Adam's apple rolled a few times. He was sexy and attractive, with a kind of abstinent beauty.
His eyes fell on the bright red, and he said in a hoarse voice: "Madam, you are wrong. These are two completely different things."
"The half-month agreement is my wife's compensation to me. Today we want to verify who can kiss longer. The two are not contradictory."
Yuan Wanru smiled maliciously and stretched out her hand to roam back and forth on his sliding Adam's apple.
Lu Jiangnian's body trembled, and a wave of heat surged in his heart. He clenched his fists and couldn't help swallowing a few times: "My lady, don't be impulsive. This is outside. If you want to kiss, we have to go back to the house and kiss."
"If you keep touching me, I'm afraid I won't be able to hold back..."
Thinking of the passionate kisses between the two of them that day, his breathing quickened.
The Mid-Autumn night wind was extremely cool. The cool breeze passed by, but it could not cool down the surging heat in his heart.
He stretched out his hands to hold her in his arms, preparing to take his men and rush back to Mian Yue Pavilion.
Yuan Wanru suddenly reached out and pushed him, then slipped away from his arms like a little fish.
With that annoying little mouth of hers, she smiled faintly and said, "I'm not that competitive. In this kind of situation, winning or losing is not important to me."
"You really think I'm stupid."
"During this period of time, you'd better behave yourself. If you have any bad thoughts, you may lose half a month's worth of soup."
She smiled and walked away gracefully.
Lu Jiangnian clearly understood that she was deliberately playing tricks on him just now.
But why was he not angry at all, but instead felt as sweet as if he had eaten honey?
The eldest young lady has already walked a long way, why is the eldest young master still standing there?
Xuan Qing looked over curiously, only to find that the sweetness in his master's eyes and brows almost made him sick to death.
That smile...how to say it...it's so sexy!
Thinking that a man who could chop a man in half with one sword on the battlefield would actually have such a sweet expression, he couldn't help but get goose bumps all over his body.
Woohoo, he also wants to be sweet with his sweetheart, so should he ask the eldest master for advice?
Lying in bed at night, Lu Jiangnian finally remembered and asked what Yuan Wanru meant by that sentence in the flower hall.
"When Grandma fainted, was there anything wrong?"
Yuan Wanru was sleeping in a daze, and it took her a long time to understand what he asked.
"The old lady's fainting was an accident. I remember that at the time, Aunt Cao was standing next to the old lady. Logically, she should have reacted first and caught the old lady."
"But the person who finally caught the old lady was Liang Yusong."
"I don't know if you remember, Liang Yusong was sitting at the time, and she had to stand up before she could catch the person."
"Tell me, how come she reacted so quickly? Anyway, I always feel it's a little strange."
Lu Jiangnian recalled that when he finished speaking, his grandmother's body shook a few times, and Madam Cao wanted to step forward and support her.
There was indeed a figure that jumped up from the side.
Liang Yusong’s reaction was really not slow.
"It's just a movement. It doesn't mean anything. If there is something else going on, we'll be able to find clues when something happens."
"My lady, there is no need to think about it anymore. Just go to sleep."
-
After a night, Yuan Wanru and Lu Jiangnian went to Wangchun Hall to pay their respects and stayed for breakfast.
Last night, Wang Min and Lu Song stayed in Rongshou Hall for a while. Because Old Madam Lu slept soundly, they finally came back.
This morning, Wang Min looked a little tired, probably because she didn't get enough sleep.
Yuan Wanru said gently, "If we had known earlier, we would have come later and let mother sleep a little longer."
Wang Min smiled and said, "You guys came late, so I have to get up early too. We can't neglect any of the family's affairs. Besides, I have to go to Rongshou Hall to check on the old lady later."
There was a flash of heartache in Lu Song's eyes: "Thank you for your hard work over the years."
As he spoke, he couldn't help himself and reached out to cover the back of her hand that was on the table, with a look of pity on his face.
Wang Min never thought that he would do such an intimate thing in front of the children.
Her face suddenly turned red, and her neck was flushed. She turned her head to glare at Lu Song and pulled her hand back: "This is not hard work. I didn't feel tired during the Chinese New Year, let alone the Mid-Autumn Festival."
Lu Song withdrew his hand in disappointment. He forgot that Lu Jiangnian and his wife were also at the table.
"Anyway, Jiang Nian and I have often been away from the capital over the years, and all the household affairs have fallen on your shoulders. I am ashamed of you as your husband."
Hearing these words, Wang Min felt very relieved.
They are a young couple who met each other when they were young. It is their greatest luck that they can understand and care for each other and stay together for a lifetime.
"You and I are husband and wife, the man is responsible for the outside affairs and the woman is responsible for the inside affairs. What are you ashamed of?"
"For so many years, you guys have been fighting outside while I have been living in fear at home."
"Actually, I don't expect you to get promoted. What I expect the most is to be able to be together as a family like we were during this Mid-Autumn Festival."
Speaking of this, Lu Song was even more apologetic: "The emperor has been very kind to me. If Madam wants me to take off my armor, I'm afraid I have to wait a few more years. When I can no longer hold the gun, I will come back to accompany Madam."
Yuan Wanru felt quite uncomfortable after hearing these words.
From her memory, Lu Song and Wang Min were very loving.
Although Lu Song also had two concubines, since the original owner moved into the Mansion of the Marquis of Loyalty and Bravery, Lu Song had never looked for them. Lu Song had always been with Wang Min only.
In this era when taking a concubine is as common as eating, the fact that Lu Song has a concubine does not mean that he does not have deep feelings for Wang Min.
Then why did Lu Song set his old house on fire, fall in love with someone else, and trample on Wang Min's dignity time and time again in just one year?
As a result, within a year or two, Wang Min died of depression and illness.
She has been in the Da Jing Dynasty for so long, and Wang Min is the best person to her. How can she feel at ease if she doesn't get to the bottom of this matter?
Seeing her staring at Wang Min in a daze, Lu Jiangnian picked up a small bun and placed it on the white porcelain plate in front of her: "The buns won't taste good if they get cold, stop staring blankly."
Yuan Wanru came back to her senses, smiled at him, then lowered her head to prepare for dinner.
At this moment, hurried footsteps were heard outside, and then the person guarding the door shouted, "Madam Cao, what's going on?"
Aunt Cao's voice could be clearly heard through the door: "Quick, the Marquis is here, something's happened to the old lady!"
Lu Song's face darkened, and he said loudly: "Come in and answer the question."
