Chapter 165
For the next two days, Wen Shu stayed in her room, focusing on sewing a forehead band.
Large items like knee pads and wrist guards require a high level of embroidery skill; large patterns with meticulous stitches are needed to look good.
However, her abilities were really limited, and after thinking it over, she decided that it would look better to make a headband.
The headband is a light green color, made of lightweight silk, and embroidered with green bamboo.
Lu Jiang is a gentle and refined man, like a lush forest of bamboo, and this headband suits him perfectly.
With the birthday gift settled, Wen Shu was in a good mood and beckoned to Han Xiang to go to the backyard to see Zhou Yun.
Zhou Yun served Madam Lu every day, trying her best to make up for the neglect and debt she had incurred over the years.
The mother and daughter were talking when Wen Shu arrived.
Three generations of a family chatted casually in the house, creating a peaceful and pleasant atmosphere.
On the other side, Pei Lingjun couldn't find Wen Shu anywhere. He assumed that Lu Jiang had secretly taken Wen Shu somewhere else and that the two of them had gone off to meet secretly behind his back!
He was instantly furious. Seeing his head covered in what looked like a green grassland, Pei Lingjun strode to the main house with a cold face.
Inside, the room was decorated like a woman's boudoir, and the light gauze bed curtains fluttered gently in the breeze as he forcefully opened the door.
The room was empty, with a faint scent of sandalwood burning on a tall table.
Pei Lingjun had sharp eyes and immediately noticed a complete headband next to the embroidered frame. He hooked it with his fingertip and picked it up to examine it.
The icy aura between his brows instantly dissipated.
He smiled slightly, and it was clear that Ah Shu still had feelings for him.
His birthday is on the eighth day of the Lunar New Year.
He wanted what she made, so A-Shu actually embroidered a forehead ribbon.
A gust of wind comes and a gust of wind goes.
The door was gently closed, and the headband remained intact next to the embroidery frame.
"You're getting on in years," said Old Madam Lu, looking at her granddaughter with heartache. "They say you shouldn't let good things stay in the family. Shu'er and Jiang'er are about the same age and have grown up together. Why not make them a couple?"
Madam Lu leaned against the pillow, laughing heartily, "That's great, it solves the marriage problems of two children at once."
"No!"
A sharp voice interrupted the conversation between the grandmother and granddaughter. Du Erniang rushed in, bringing with her a gust of cold wind, and pounced on the old lady, causing her to cough a few times.
"Mother, I think you've gone mad with illness!" Du Erniang said sternly, hands on her hips. "Don't you know what's wrong with Shu'er?"
"It's already incredibly difficult for a guilty person who faked her death to survive! If she becomes a daughter-in-law of the Lu family, outsiders will be suspicious!"
Wen Shu nodded and stood up, bowing to Madam Lu. "Grandmother, what Aunt said makes sense. It is already a great blessing for Shu'er to be alive. I don't ask for any marriage in this life. I just want everything to go my way."
Du Erniang's expression softened a bit; she was afraid that Zhou Yun's family would shamelessly cling to the Lu family and refuse to let go.
A married daughter is like water spilled from a cup; moreover, Zhou Shi has no blood relation to the Lu family, so in the end, she is just an outsider.
If Jiang'er really likes her, it would be good to keep her in the mansion as a concubine. Why should she go out and show her face in public?
"Furthermore, my cousin may already have a girl he likes. Grandmother, please don't bring this up again, lest outsiders overhear and misunderstand."
Having said all that, Madam Lu clearly understood Wen Shu's meaning.
The two were childhood sweethearts, their friendship since childhood, their fate together, and their good looks made them a perfect match.
pity...
Love is something that cannot be easily overcome.
"Very well." Old Madam Lu waved her hand. "Marriage is preordained by heaven, so I won't trouble you any further."
