Chapter 461 The Most Complete Happiness
After driving away the annoying lecher, Lu Jiangnian then asked Su Shaodong, who was fanning the flames, out and gave him a good beating.
When the two came back, Su Shaodong's originally handsome face now had several fresh bruises and his mouth corners were broken, making him look quite miserable.
Yuan Wanru was leisurely drinking tea. When she looked up and saw his face, she laughed unceremoniously, her eyes full of gloating: "Look, you are so rude and insisted on provoking him. You deserve this beating, right? You asked for it!"
Su Shaodong grimaced in pain. He carefully touched the swollen area and complained angrily, "You have no conscience. I am your elder brother! Girls are extroverts, and their elbows are always bent outward."
He took a deep breath, but still refused to admit defeat. He stiffened his neck and said, "Go ahead and beat him. Next time I encounter this kind of situation, I will destroy his plan."
"Lu Jiangnian is such a bastard. He always hits people in the face. He is so insidious."
Yuan Wanru looked at his stubborn appearance and felt neither amused nor helpless. She couldn't help but wonder if this guy was so bored that he just wanted to be beaten, or maybe he even had a masochistic tendency?
Lu Jiangnian folded his arms across his chest, leaning against the door frame. Hearing this, he glanced at Su Shaodong with a chilly look: "It seems that you haven't been beaten enough? Do you like to be beaten so much?"
He showed a dangerous smile: "Since you have this hobby, I must fulfill your wish. From now on, I will find time to beat you up every day. I will not stop until you are subdued and behave yourself, and know what to say and what not to say."
Su Shaodong suddenly widened his eyes and stared at Lu Jiangnian in disbelief: "Listen! Is this human language? Lu Jiangnian, do you still have any humanity left?"
Yuan Wanru was very partial and agreed with a smile: "My husband, this suggestion is very good. Isn't it exactly what someone wants and satisfies his desire to get beaten?"
She turned her eyes and looked at Su Shaodong, who was full of grief and indignation. "If you are not convinced, then practice hard and try to surpass him as soon as possible. Then you can make a beautiful counterattack! I am optimistic about you!"
Su Shaodong: ...
How can it be that easy?
He subconsciously touched his scarred cheek and felt that his future was bleak.
Lu Jiangnian raised his eyebrows and said in a playful tone, "What? Are you scared? It's not too late to admit defeat now. As long as you say loudly, 'Su Shaodong admits defeat and will never say anything more in the future', I can change my mind."
"snort!"
Su Shaodong instantly exploded, puffed out his chest, and raised his voice, "You want me to give in? Maybe in the next life! Lu Jiangnian, come if you want, who's afraid of who!"
He rolled up his sleeves, ready to fight to the death.
Lu Jiangnian's eyes turned cold, he stood up straight, and his aura surged.
"Come on, if you want to fight, you have to go out and fight. There's no place for you to do it here."
The two looked at each other and walked out in tacit understanding.
Looking at their backs, Liuzhi asked worriedly, "Madam, will the relationship between the prince and Mr. Su be damaged by this?"
If a fight really breaks out, won't it be my wife who will be caught in the middle?
Yuan Wanru laughed and shook her head: "Silly girl, you think too much."
"The two of them, one is willing to fight, the other is willing to be beaten, and they are obviously enjoying it."
It’s a long journey, so you have to find something to pass the time, right?
It’s nice to have a fight and stretch your muscles.
Anyway, it wasn't her husband who got beaten, so she didn't feel sorry.
-
We have arrived in Southern Xinjiang.
Ling Lanyue asked Hua Siyue to go out and pick them up early.
There is another happy event.
As early as when she left the capital, Yuan Wanru received a letter from Ling Lanyue.
The letter said that Hua Siyue finally came to her senses and accepted A'ran's feelings.
Now the two of them are deeply in love and inseparable. Judging from the situation, it seems that good things are about to happen and they will get married in the near future.
At the end of the letter, there was Hua Siyue’s most earnest hope: Sister Wanru, you must come to my wedding!
Everything is just right.
Hua Siyue is still the bright and outspoken girl. When she saw Yuan Wanru, she was so happy that she couldn't stop smiling.
Yuan Wanru noticed that her eyes and eyebrows were now tinged with a charm that was not there before.
It seems that she is living a very good life.
Su Shaodong looked at Hua Siyue, who had been clinging to him before, and now was holding hands with A'ran. He couldn't help but mutter in a low voice: "Women's hearts are like needles in the sea. They change too quickly."
Lu Jiangnian had excellent hearing and glanced at him sideways: "Why? Do you regret not seizing the opportunity?"
Su Shaodong was so scared that he quickly shook his head: "Don't talk nonsense, I don't like this kind of unruly girl."
Weddings in southern Xinjiang are completely different from the reserved and solemn ones in the Central Plains.
The bonfire burned brightly, lighting up the night sky and igniting people's unrestrained enthusiasm.
The drum beats were passionate, the bamboo flutes were melodious, and men, women, young and old, dressed in colorful costumes gathered in circles. The singing, laughter, and blessings intertwined together, forming a sea of joy.
As a bride, Hua Siyue is the most dazzling elf.
She held Yuan Wanru's hand, and the two of them started dancing surrounded by the crowd.
Spinning, jumping, and fluttering skirts form a beautiful picture.
Until A'ran could no longer wait and grabbed Hua Siyue back to his side, and they walked towards their wedding night amid the laughter and blessings of the crowd.
The night is gentle.
Lu Jiangnian took Yuan Wanru's hand, clasped their fingers tightly, and quietly left the noisy crowd and returned to their small building.
The door was closed, blocking out the sounds from outside.
The flickering candlelight lengthened the two figures. He held her in his arms, his breath hot and filled with irresistible desire.
A night of passion and endless affection.
Yuan Wanru softened into a puddle of water.
-
The night in southern Xinjiang is filled with vast stars.
On the second night, Yuan Wanru and Lu Jiangnian climbed onto the roof of the bamboo house and lay on it side by side.
The night breeze, carrying the unique fresh scent of the mountains and forests, gently blows across my cheeks.
Looking up at the boundless sea of stars above her head, Yuan Wanru felt a peace she had never felt before.
Thinking about the modern times, I feel both nostalgic and relieved.
Lu Jiangnian put his arm under her neck to make her feel more comfortable.
"My lady,"
His voice was low and gentle, brushing against her ears, "Are you happy?"
A bright smile appeared on Yuan Wanru's lips, and she said firmly, "I'm happy."
She tilted her head and stared into his eyes, "What about you?"
Lu Jiangnian lowered his head and gently rested his forehead against hers, their breaths blending together, his tone firm and without regrets: "I am content to have you by my side."
-
Time flies, and it is early summer in a blink of an eye.
The silence was broken by a surprising piece of news: Yuan Wanru was pregnant.
When Ling Lanyue learned about this, she was so excited that tears welled up in her eyes. She held her daughter's hand for a long time and was speechless.
She had thought that she would never have the chance to see her daughter grow up, but now she could see her daughter giving birth to a new life. To her, this was the greatest favor and gift of fate.
The good news from southern Xinjiang traveled thousands of miles to reach the Mansion of the Loyal and Brave Marquis in the capital.
After reading the letter, Wang Minzhan was overjoyed. She couldn't wait to share this great news with Lu Song, and told Zhou Fang and others.
Everyone in the mansion was filled with joyful anticipation.
Since returning to her hometown, Madam Lu may have finally faced the reality and has been unexpectedly law-abiding and has not caused any trouble again.
Now the only person who worries Wang Min the most is Lu Wei.
Thinking of Lu Wei, Wang Min felt heavy in his heart.
After Lu Jiangnian and his companions left Beijing, she took some time to visit Anzhou.
Lu Wei looked so haggard. How could she look like the legitimate daughter of a marquis?
No matter how confused Lu Wei had been in the past, she was still her flesh and blood after all. How could she not feel sorry for her?
Wang Min, in her capacity as the mistress of the Marquis' Mansion, severely criticized the Liu family.
She made the decision to bring the illegitimate son born to a concubine of the Liu family directly into Lu Wei's lap and raise him as her legitimate son.
"Wei'er, everything that happened in the past was due to your mother's failure to teach you well, and it was also your own fault, but you must always look forward."
"Raise this child well and educate him to become a talented person. Only then will you have someone to rely on and hope for the rest of your life."
As for that useless son-in-law, Wang Min was too lazy to even mention him.
Even if Lu Jiangnian had instigated the taking of concubines, if the son-in-law was determined, how could he have accepted all those beauties?
Even addicted to it?
It was obvious that he had this intention long ago, but he just took advantage of other people's power and went with the flow.
People like this are unreliable.
However, Lu Wei did not wake up, but kept complaining about Lu Jiangnian's cruelty, thinking that he had ruined her life.
Wang Min was extremely disappointed and slapped Lu Wei hard on the face!
"You expect Jiang Nian to support you again? Are you still dreaming?"
Wang Min's voice was unprecedentedly harsh and painful. "The only thing you can do now is to firmly grasp the banner of the Loyal and Brave Marquis' Mansion! Use it to suppress the Liu family and make them dare not treat you badly!"
"If you are still not awake and still living in resentment, Wei'er, you will have a long hard life in the second half of your life!"
This is all Wang Min can do.
In the end, Lu Wei has to walk her own path.
She just hoped that this slap would wake her daughter up and make her understand what the most important thing to do right now is.
As for whether Lu Wei really understood, Wang Min had no idea and could only leave Anzhou with full of worry and helplessness.
-
At the end of the year and in the depths of winter, a loud baby cry broke the tranquility of the bamboo building, announcing the arrival of a new life.
Yuan Wanru lay on the couch tiredly but contentedly, watching Lu Jiangnian carefully take the swaddling clothes from the midwife.
Lu Jiangnian lowered his head and gazed at the little life in his arms that was connected to him by blood, and felt that his heart was filled to the brim.
He held the child in his arms, walked to Yuan Wanru's bed, knelt on one knee, and gently placed the child next to her pillow.
He took Yuan Wanru's hand and placed it against his warm cheek, his eyes filled with deep and unbreakable love.
"Thank you, my lady, for coming to my side."
Yuan Wanru turned her head and looked at the baby sleeping beside the pillow, then looked at the man in front of her who was holding her in his hands.
She held his broad hand with her backhand: "Husband, you are very good. Meeting you and staying with you is the greatest luck in my life."
Hold your hand and grow old with you.
No more words needed.
The smiles they gave each other at this moment, the warmth of their palms, the even breathing of the baby beside them, and the warm sunshine outside the window...all of these were the most complete and ordinary happiness bestowed upon them by fate.
