Lu Qingyan curled the corners of her lips: "Whatever you send, just accept it carefully. Father is a good official and a good father. How could he not show any concern knowing I've been wronged?"
Sun Ping twitched his lips and silently complained to himself that his princess was being unfair, since that person was her father, the prince's father-in-law.
“Now that Madam Fu is in this state, my sister will surely receive some news and return home. Judging by the time it happens, she should be going back to her parents' home the day after tomorrow.” Lu Qingyan tapped the armrest with her left hand, which was holding the chair.
Sun Pingdao immediately replied, "Your Highness, rest assured, I have already prepared the homecoming gifts."
Lu Qingyan covered her mouth and chuckled, "You're in such a hurry."
"This servant was afraid that if we were late in preparing, we might forget something, so I started early," Sun Ping explained. "Preparing early also saves the Princess from waiting too long."
Lu Qingyan smiled and nodded. She was indeed a thoughtful and capable person, and it was a bit of a waste for her to stay in the Prince's mansion as a steward.
However, judging from Sun Ping's expression, he seems to really enjoy this job.
Once the news spread that Madam Fu of the Fu family was unwell, many people kept a close eye on the De Prince's Mansion and the Yi Prince's Mansion, and the three-day homecoming ceremony was changed to a two-day homecoming ceremony.
Early the next morning, Shangguan Ren took Lu Qingyan back to the Fu residence.
Shangguan Ren sat in the carriage wiping away his tears: "The princess has only just gotten married, and her mother has already fallen ill. This is really an unlucky thing. I don't know how those people outside are gossiping about you. It's all my fault for being incompetent and unable to protect you properly."
Seeing Shangguan Ren's sentimental behavior, Lu Qingyan thought to herself: No, they will only think that you, the son-in-law, are unlucky and bringing misfortune to your mother-in-law.
Why would Madam Fu fall ill after her two daughters and their families? Besides this explanation, there doesn't seem to be any other plausible explanation.
Lu Qingyan secretly rejoiced, and grasped Shangguan Ren's hand with a grateful expression: "Your Highness, I don't care about these things. As long as Your Highness believes that my fate is not as they say, that I bring misfortune to my mother, then I will be fine. What outsiders say is their business, I will pretend I didn't hear it."
Shangguan Ren's forehead twitched. Shouldn't she be saying that she would definitely try to help guide public opinion? Why did she suddenly say that she didn't care?
Forget it, let's just rely on ourselves.
Shangguan Ren had never intended to involve the Fu family, but after testing his little wife, he suddenly realized that his choice was wise.
It's already quite good that Lu Qingyan, who doesn't understand what's being said, isn't making things worse.
The Prince Yi's family left quite early today. The people from both families arrived at the gate of the Fu residence one after the other, but neither had time to enter.
Fu Zige grabbed Lu Qingyan's hand and laughed, "It's only been two days, and you seem to have become even more beautiful. In a few years, you'll be much prettier than me."
Lu Qingyan pulled her hand back, glancing at Shangguan Li beside her out of the corner of her eye: "The foundation is already there, what can it become no matter what? Sister will just say these nice things to coax me."
“I’m not just trying to flatter you, that’s what I really think,” Fu Zige said with a smile. “I genuinely think my sister has grown up and become even more beautiful. If you don’t believe me, you can ask Mother when you see her later.”
"Sister, you're always teasing people." Lu Qingyan lowered her head. "Does sister know what illness Mother has?"
"Shh!" Fu Zige put her index finger to her lips, signaling Lu Qingyan to be quiet. She looked to the side and, noticing that no one was around, said, "I heard it's a plague."
