Chapter 155
After speaking, Wen Shu lowered her head and remained silent, staring intently at the charcoal brazier on the ground, pretending not to feel the tangible gaze.
“Ah Shu is right, there’s no rush to get married.” Pei Lingjun withdrew his gaze, met Lu Jiang’s thoughtful eyes, then looked away again in an instant, lifting the curtain to look at the receding snow scene outside.
So what if A-Shu doesn't get married?
He can be a thief every day, since Ah Shu can't get rid of him anyway.
But even a virtuous gentleman like Lu Jiang couldn't do such a thing, so how could he compare to him?
As long as A-Shu has no feelings for Lu Jiang, she will be his sooner or later.
The carriage was silent, and the air was under low pressure.
After finally arriving at the Lu residence, Wen Shu hurriedly got out of the carriage and caught her breath.
Hanxiang and Zhou Yun got off from another carriage. Hanxiang saw Wen Shu and muttered, "Why does the young lady look so pale?"
"No way!" Wen Shu feigned optimism. "It's just that the carriage is too stuffy and hot."
Hanxiang had no suspicions, and the group entered the mansion one after another. The old lady of the Lu family was already waiting in the main hall.
The old lady, Madam Zhou, had gray hair, a face full of wrinkles, and a slightly hunched back. Even sitting in the brocade round chair, her face showed signs of old age.
Upon seeing the old lady, Zhou Yun knelt down abruptly, saying, "Your unfilial daughter pays her respects to her mother!"
"Get up, get up," the old lady of the Lu family said with tears in her eyes, waving her hand with difficulty, "Come here, let your mother take a look..."
How long has it been since the mother and daughter last saw each other?
Zhou Yun herself couldn't remember. After marrying and moving to Anyang, she had visited Wen Shu a few times when Wen Shu was young. But after Wen Shu and Wen Ji grew up, she lived a secluded life and hadn't returned for a long time.
The Wen family's property was confiscated again, and the mother and her two daughters almost lost their lives. Now that they can safely return to Shanzhou to see their mother, they can die without regrets!
"You unfilial daughter, you haven't come to Shanzhou to see this old man all these years?" Old Madam Lu tapped her cane loudly, and lovingly embraced Zhou Yun.
Wen Shu stood quietly at the lower end, waiting for Old Madam Lu and Zhou Yun to calm down before she and Wen Ji stepped forward and greeted her, "Grandmother..."
"Hey, good child, stand closer so your grandmother can get a good look at you."
Upon seeing several relatives at once, Old Madam Lu was deeply moved. The room was filled with her children and grandchildren, while she herself was already in her twilight years.
"They're all good children." Old Madam Lu affectionately patted Wen Shu's head, and Wen Shu obediently squatted in front of the old woman's lap.
"I heard from Jiang'er that you opened a pharmacy on South Street?"
"Yes..." Wen Shu did not hide anything, after all, the medicinal herbs in the pharmacy were all recommended by the Lu family. "From now on, when Mother lives in Shanzhou, she will be able to visit Grandmother more often."
"Alright!"
The warmth in the room was shattered by a sharp voice. Wen Shu looked in the direction of the sound and saw a woman in a red dress with a plump waist and round hips impatiently shaking off her uncle's hand and looking over with displeasure.
Wen Shu lowered her head meekly and obediently called out, "Aunt."
Du Erniang put her hands on her hips, her face unfriendly: "The old lady is getting on in years and needs to rest in peace. Now that you've seen her, please leave so as not to disturb her tranquility!"
Lu Jiang nodded and spoke softly to Wen Shu, "A Shu, it is indeed not advisable for Grandmother to get emotional. The courtyard where you are staying has been prepared. You can rest for now and see each other again later."
Inside the front hall, the whole family were relatives, except for Pei Lingjun, who was an outsider who had come along.
Even though he tried to keep his presence to a minimum, he was still noticed.
Lu Rou stood behind Du Erniang, her eyes, which seemed to be filled with water, blinking rapidly as she stole glances at Pei Lingjun. Before long, her face turned red.
What a handsome young man!
"Who is this...?"
