The King of Huainan accounted for the lion's share of the credit for the Battle of Nanwu.
But he was almost out of titles to be given, and this was not the situation the emperor wanted to see.
So Lu Jing was really lucky this time, as he actually took away half of the credit from King Huainan. The emperor said that he provided timely support, which saved the situation!
When Lu Jing expressed his gratitude, he didn't know how to move his hands and feet.
It was the clever little eunuch next to him who stepped forward to support him and moved him out of the palace step by step.
"The Marquis is back!"
"The Marquis is back!"
Lu Jingren had just appeared at the door when voices of notification came one after another, constantly rushing in.
Everyone was startled. Fang Rou had just rushed out of the house when she suddenly thought of something and quickly pulled Xiao Tao back in. "Quick, find the peach blossom hairpin I wore last time. The Marquis likes me when I look delicate the most!"
Xiao Tao was in a panic and finally found her way out from the deep end of the box.
She quickly put it on Fang Rou, and then took the time to tidy up her drooping hair.
The two of them hurried and finally arrived before Lu Jing came in.
"My Lord!"
Fang Rou let out a sweet cry, drawing everyone's attention. Lu Jing's foot, halfway across the brazier, froze in mid-air. It wasn't until he felt the burn that he realized what was happening and quickly jumped over!
"How disgraceful it is to shout and yell!"
Old Madam Lu was standing at the front, and when she saw Fang Rou's unruly behavior, she frowned fiercely.
She prepared the brazier to get rid of bad luck for Lu Jing.
After all, when you come back from a place like the battlefield, you must not bring any wronged ghosts and wild ghosts in.
Now that Fang Rou interrupted her, her face was full of unhappiness.
But how could Fang Rou care about this old woman at this moment?
Her eyes were full of tenderness as she looked at Lu Jing infatuatedly, just like the girl who had stood under the peach tree before, waiting there foolishly every time he came - no matter it was windy or rainy.
The running around on the battlefield made Lu Jing smell sour all over.
There was no way. Even though he was a marquis, he couldn't get any special treatment at that time.
Not to mention that he had to sleep in the open air on the way back and had no chance to shave his beard. The once dashing man now looked like a sloppy man.
"My Lord, you've worked hard on this journey. Come inside and take a rest."
Shen Ruoyan spoke in a low voice, and to Lu Jing's ears, it seemed that she was a little choked up.
She is thinking of me too!
Looking at the women in front of him, who were looking at him with eyes full of longing, Lu Jing felt an indescribable sense of pride in his heart.
He had only been away for a short time, and these people already thought this of him.
If they really go to fight a war for three to five years, won't they become sick with longing?
Lu Jing was immersed in his own sweet dream, so he didn't notice that when he walked over, Shen Ruoyan's voice became smaller, and she held her breath!
Fang Rou, true to her true self, faced Lu Jing like this, and actually rose to the challenge, throwing herself directly into his arms:
"My Lord, you are finally back! I really missed you so much!"
"vomit……"
In the end, the psychology could not overcome the physiology. Fang Rou couldn't help it and was directly made nauseous by the sour taste.
She held him for less than a second before she started retching.
For a moment, everyone's faces were full of excitement!
Especially Lu Jing, he was as moved just now as he was impulsive now!
He wished he could just disappear right there!
"My Lord, the smell of blood on you is too strong. I really can't stand it." Fang Rou raised her head, tears streaming down her face, but her expression remained unchanged. She directly grabbed Lu Jing's ash-stained sleeve and said, "My Lord, your masculinity is becoming stronger and stronger."
Now the people who want to retch are other people.
Shen Ruoyan couldn't help but get goose bumps all over her body. Fang Rou is indeed a talent!
Lu Jing's expression looked a little better, but he also realized that it was a bit indecent for him to have been running around for so long.
"In that case, you will come and help me bathe."
Lu Jing took Fang Rou away in a hurry, not knowing whether it was for a bath or not.
But after he left, the smell in the air finally faded a lot.
Even the old lady went back to rest, using the excuse of being tired.
She also specifically told Lu Jing that he was too tired from traveling, so he should come to pay his respects to her tomorrow.
Shen Ruoyan sighed in his heart, what a pitifully thin relationship between grandparents and grandchildren!
Lu Jing will be clean tomorrow, so he can go over and pay his respects, right?
Zhuhong stood quietly by without any reaction. Liulu, on the other hand, looked indignant.
Is the Marquis blind?!
Today, my sister deliberately didn't wear loose clothes so that he could see her belly at a glance and give the child a legitimate identity in front of everyone.
but!
Because of Fang Rou, Lu Jing didn't even see Zhu Hong!
Not to mention her belly, the two sisters, two living beings, were treated as air!
"Sister, what should we do now? That bitch will definitely pester the Marquis tonight. If she whispers something in his ear, it will be bad." Liu Lu was very anxious. Lu Jing's return was a mixed blessing for them.
If they can't get Lu Jing to recognize the child, then everything they have done before will be in vain!
"Just be patient."
Zhuhong gently touched her belly. Now, she could feel the presence of the child more and more clearly.
This is actually a very magical thing. She clearly knows that this is just a tool for her to win favor. Even her true identity cannot be exposed. She is a wild child who can never see the light of day.
But, she gave birth to her.
No matter what the reason, it came into her belly.
But now, she just wants the best future for him.
"You can't eat hot tofu in a hurry, sister. We are in the Marquis' Mansion, so we need to take it slow and steady." Only by keeping calm can we cope with everything.
The more anxious you are, the more likely you are to make mistakes.
Why would Fang Rou do such a disrespectful act in front of everyone?
In the final analysis, it's all about winning Lu Jing's heart as soon as possible.
But men are all mean-spirited.
The more something comes to you, the less you value it.
It’s not that Fang Rou doesn’t understand this logic, but she just can’t keep her cool.
And the person who made her lose her temper was herself.
So why should she be anxious first?
If nothing was discovered, then nothing was discovered. Zhu Hong was not afraid that Fang Rou would say anything in front of Lu Jing. What she was afraid of was that Fang Rou would suddenly become smart and say nothing.
That would cause trouble.
Fortunately, Fang Rou did not disappoint her. The next morning, when the servants came running in and said that the Marquis had lost his temper in the front hall, Zhu Hong knew that
Her chance has come!
