Chapter 9 Wedding Night
The other side.
It was already night, and Lingshuiju, which had been bustling all day, was now quiet.
Lu Jiangnian had returned from the front a long time ago. He did not return to the bedroom, but went to the study to take a shower.
Ever since he knew he was going to marry Yuan Wanru, he moved his things into the study.
From then on, he lived and worked in the study and gave the bedroom to her.
However, he still wants to see her tonight.
There are many relatives in the Lu family. Many female relatives are in the bridal chamber today, laughing and joking. Yuan Wanru is just a decoration, and her body is stiff.
Finally everyone left, she quickly showered and changed her clothes, and asked someone to bring her a bowl of chicken soup and shredded pork noodles to fill her stomach.
As soon as the shredded pork noodles were served, Lu Jiangnian came in.
He sat down beside her, and Yuan Wanru could smell the faint scent of soap on him.
She glanced at him casually: "What's up?"
It was a very unwelcome tone, as if he shouldn't be here. Lu Jiangnian raised his eyebrows. If he remembered correctly, tonight was their wedding night.
He responded softly, "Yeah."
Yuan Wanru said nonchalantly: "No matter how big the matter is, wait until I finish eating. I'm starving to death."
Aunt Pang handed her the chopsticks. Upon hearing this, she said "Puh, Puh" twice, clasped her hands together and bowed three times to the sky: "Don't blame me, the eldest young lady is just talking nonsense."
Then, he glanced at Yuan Wanru in a reproachful manner: "Eat if you are hungry, why are you talking nonsense?"
Yuan Wanru held her forehead with her hand, wondering why she was just like her modern grandmother, who would bow every time she made a mistake in saying a word.
Without caring about anything else, the tempting aroma penetrated her nose. She was so hungry that she started eating with big mouthfuls.
Nanny Pang was extremely anxious. In front of the eldest master, the girl should at least take smaller bites. Who knows what the eldest master would think if he saw her eating like this.
Nanny Pang was overthinking. Although Yuan Wanru ate very quickly, her eating manners did not look ugly at all.
This is a skill she developed while working.
Lu Jiangnian drank a lot of wine, and now seeing her eating so heartily, he actually felt a little hungry.
She must have just taken a shower, her hair was not completely dry yet, she was wearing a light pink gauze dress, under the candlelight, her face had the youthfulness and tenderness unique to a young girl, a wisp of fragrance wafted out as she moved, diluting the aroma of the food.
As she ate noodles, her cuffs slipped down, revealing her tender wrist, on which she wore a juicy emerald bracelet, which further highlighted her tender whiteness.
He sat quietly by the side, and for some reason he found her pleasing to the eye in this state.
A man who has been in the military camp will always be a little rough, no matter how noble his background is.
He had seen his sister at home taking her time with her meals, not being able to finish half a bowl of rice in half an hour. He could never understand how she could be full with such a small amount of food.
The person in front of me finished half of a large bowl of noodles in a short while. It was vivid and real.
Yuan Wanru was full and when she looked up, she met his gaze.
For some reason, Lu Jiangnian's first reaction was to look away.
He stopped halfway and turned back without leaving a trace: "What's the matter?"
Yuan Wanru: Didn’t you come to see me?
He also reacted, picked up the teacup and took two sips as if to cover up, then said: "Everyone go down."
Nanny Pang happily led her people away.
There was silence in the room for a moment.
Yuan Wanru had no intention of speaking first. She wanted to listen to what Lu Jiangnian wanted to say.
She fiddled with the jade bracelet on her wrist absentmindedly. Lu Jiangnian finally spoke: "I have never heard my father mention the marriage contract. I doubt whether it really exists."
"You have got married today and your wish has come true. I will stay in the study in the future..."
He paused, then continued, "Your father's life-saving grace cannot be used by you for your entire life."
"You'd better not think about things that you shouldn't think about. Take care of yourself."
Although Yuan Wanru guessed that what he was going to say was not something good, she still couldn't help feeling angry.
"I got what I wanted?"
"You think too highly of yourself."
"Lu Jiangnian, you think I was the one who schemed against you in the Wangzhu Lake incident. Uncle Lu forced you to marry me because my father saved his life, and you feel wronged."
"But the one who was really wronged was actually me."
"You saved me, I'm grateful to you."
"But that day, I was also plotted against. I never thought of forcing you to marry me."
Lu Jiangnian didn't believe it at all.
His eyes suddenly turned cold, and his tone was full of sarcasm: "The rumors outside have been clarified. Now that things have come to this, what's the harm in you admitting it?"
"Is it fun to deceive yourself?"
Yuan Wanru said angrily: "I am not used to being wrongly accused. What are you asking me to admit to if I haven't done anything?"
"Lu Jiangnian, I will find out the truth and convince you."
"If you have wronged me, I wonder if you, the great Master Lu, have the courage to apologize to me?"
Lu Jiangnian looked at her steadily, his narrow and long phoenix eyes filled with coldness.
What he hates most is not people who do wrong things, but people who refuse to admit their mistakes and deny and shirk their responsibilities.
"Why not?"
They didn't speak again, and they just stood there in silence.
Someone shouted, "Oh no! The old lady is vomiting non-stop. She's not in good condition. Let's all go to Rongshou Hall."
Lu Jiangnian lowered his eyes, immediately stood up and walked out.
"Wait a minute, I'll go with you."
She was quick to pull Lu Jiangnian's sleeve and said, "No matter what, you married me, so you need to give me due respect in public."
"If you leave me alone, what will others think of me?"
He narrowed his eyes and looked at her, then hesitated for a moment and said, "Hurry up."
-
Lingshuiju is not far from Rongshoutang. Lu Jiangnian walked very fast, and Yuan Wanru followed behind him with some difficulty.
She simply lifted up her skirt and started jogging. Liu Yan followed with a lantern, looking terrified.
"Madam, go slower and be careful when falling."
Lu Jiangnian paused and finally slowed down his pace. Yuan Wanru finally came to Rongshou Hall with him.
Lu Song and his wife were already guarding here, and Lu Song's younger brother Lu Bai and his second wife Zhou Fang were also guarding outside.
After they arrived, Lu Bai's eldest son Lu Jiangxiun also came.
The rest of the children in the house were not at home, so they probably didn't get alarmed.
Yuan Wanru saw two unfamiliar girls at a glance. She knew without a doubt that they were the Cao sisters who had returned with the old lady.
They lived in Rongshou Hall, so if anything happened to the old lady, they naturally had to stay there.
Just like in the book, on the wedding night, Madam Lu fell ill.
But with the heroine Liang Yusong around, the old lady was fine.
This is the first highlight moment when the heroine demonstrates her medical skills in front of everyone in the Lu family.
"How's Grandma?"
Lu Jiangnian looked at Lu Song, who had a stern face and said, "The court doctor is undecided. Fortunately, Miss Liang is familiar with the condition. She is giving acupuncture to your grandmother in there. We will know everything after she comes out."
As the crown prince, Lu Jiangnian basically knew everything about the Marquis of Loyalty and Bravery's Mansion.
He already knew the origins of this Miss Liang.
He stood there silently. Yuan Wanru turned her head to look at his young and resolute profile, a little stunned.
The next plot is about the male and female protagonists meeting.
The male protagonist accidentally discovered that he had met Liang Yusong two years ago.
He already admired Liang Yusong because of the previous incident, and now that she saved Old Madam Lu, the male protagonist immediately developed a liking for her.
The door creaked open and a girl in a pomegranate skirt walked out.
