I knew there was a reason. It turned out that the Marquis was being stingy again. I smiled and looked at Xie Yuancheng, and only after he smiled did I say that I would listen to his arrangements.
"Ying'er, I'm your man, I won't do anything reckless, you have to trust me."
"Yes~ I believe you~" How could I not trust him? He just knows how to expose my weaknesses.
The next morning, Xie Yuancheng went out with Meng Anshi again, and Li Ruowei brought Yan'er over to play. I walked with them in the garden. Yan'er is finally more lively now, almost like Yu'er.
Li Ruowei smiled when she saw her. I know what it feels like to be a mother. If something happens to your child, you would rather get hurt yourself than see them suffer.
Yan'er is having too much fun right now, and she's being naughty even when she's trying to sleep. Li Ruowei held her in her arms and said, "Yan'er, if you don't sleep well, Mother won't take you out for a walk."
"Mother~ Aunt~" Yan'er called out clearly, which surprised me. At her age, Yu'er would smile and speak in broken sentences.
Sometimes I can't understand what he's saying at all, and I have to guess.
Li Ruowei really doesn't know how to spoil children. When Yan'er saw that she was unhappy, she went to take a nap with her nanny. We rarely have any free time at this time of day.
"It's good that you came. Yan'er can joke and laugh with me now!"
"Sister, Yan'er's pronunciation is so accurate, much better than Yu'er's."
"That's because you didn't take good care of him when he was little, and then something else happened. Luckily you're all alive, otherwise I would have gone with you."
My hand holding the teacup trembled, and some tea spilled out: "Sister, you can't think like that."
"Forget it, let's not talk about these things anymore. You must never jump off a cliff again. I was still terrified when Yuan Cheng mentioned it last time."
"No, you know I did it all for his own good. There was a misunderstanding at the time, and I was worried he would do something wrong, so I was willing to sacrifice myself."
"You always think of others," Li Ruo said with a particularly happy smile, and I was happy to talk to her about things. We were having a pleasant conversation when Xie Yuancheng and Meng Anshi returned.
"Yuancheng~ didn't you say you'd come tonight?" I noticed he was unhappy; something must have happened.
"Ying'er, come back to the house with me~" Xie Yuancheng came over and pulled me away. Before I could react, I looked back and saw Lu Fengjun's figure, and then I understood.
"You've already brought people back, why do you still want me to leave?" I almost laughed out loud, but I stopped when I saw Xie Yuancheng's frown.
"I said you're not allowed to see me, and I won't let you see me!" He must still be thinking about escaping. Lu Fengjun is a gentleman, just like his name.
However, Xie Yuancheng would never care. He believed that even if the other party was a gentleman, he would still hate bad things and people.
After we went inside, I asked him, "Where are Teacher and Lingwu? I haven't seen them since I came back."
“When your teacher guides Lingwu in her studies, who else can be with you every day like me? Even when I’m extremely busy outside, I still think about how bored Ying’er is at home and want to come back to cheer you up.”
"I know you're the best, but you still need to be more magnanimous. Anyway, I'll listen to you. If you don't let me go out, I'll stay in the house obediently."
Xie Yuancheng was delighted. He actually brought out his old chessboard. "I haven't played chess in a long time. I didn't remember before, and now I'm out of practice."
Xie Yuancheng was giving me guidance from the side, and I followed his thinking. I won the first few rounds, but then he captured all the black pieces.
I gripped the black ball tightly: "You're just trying to lure me into a trap! How can you bully people like this!"
"Ying'er, I've reminded you several times, but you still didn't pay attention. How can you blame me?"
"It's all your fault!" I randomly downloaded a game and lost everything. "I'm not playing with you anymore. I haven't taken a nap yet, I'm going to catch up on my sleep~"
I thought he was going out, so I lay down on the chaise lounge to rest. I had just finished my exam, and Xie Yuancheng followed me to lie down as well.
Why aren't you going out?
"I'm keeping Ying'er company in the courtyard. See, am I not considerate?"
Xie Yuancheng, with a smug look on his face, said, "Don't think I don't know you're spying on me: I already said I won't go out. Besides, I'm dressed in women's clothing today, how could I possibly go out?"
Xie Yuancheng, who had his eyes closed, suddenly opened them. Seeing the expectation in his eyes, I quickly shrank back inside.
"Ying'er, you said you'd put me first in everything~"
Xie Yuancheng was laughing very happily, which made me uneasy. I wondered what mischief he was up to now. Sure enough, after he dressed me, he even applied rouge and powder to my face.
Although his makeup skills were pretty good, seeing his sly grin, I always felt he was up to something. After we all left, I finally found out.
Lu Fengjun walked over from the other side, and Xie Yuancheng greeted him warmly. I really wanted to find a hole to crawl into. He was so bold, not considering other people's ability to bear it at all.
I smiled at Lu Fengjun, whose eyes were glazed over. Xie Yuancheng then spoke again: "Lord Lu, she is my wife. Doesn't she look a lot like Yingdi?"
I tugged at Xie Yuancheng's belt. He's wearing official robes; can't he act normal for once? What if Lu Fengjun starts fighting with him? I'm going to be cheering him on from the sidelines.
"Yingdi is even more beautiful than a woman." I thought Lu Fengjun was going to fight Xie Yuancheng, but he just said it casually.
"You, how did you recognize me?" I saw Xie Yuancheng's sharp eyes sweep over me, but I still had to ask.
Lu Fengjun burst out laughing: "I suspected it from the beginning, how could the Marquis still be so hung up on you? Now I understand. Xie Yuancheng, you schemed to get me involved with male prostitutes, yet you were secretly having an affair with Ying-mei. I lost because I'm not as cunning as you!"
"Lord Lu, you need to provide evidence for your words. Where did I plot against you?"
I noticed the awkward atmosphere between them and suddenly remembered how Xie Yuancheng had enthusiastically taken me to the "Handsome Men" shopping mall; it turned out he was the one who designed it.
"Hmph! I should have guessed it long ago!" Lu Fengjun finally blurted out these words, and I could only watch them laugh from the sidelines.
Xie Yuancheng said with a proud look, "Ying'er likes me. If it weren't for your help, I wouldn't have let you see her this time."
"Forget it, there's no point in arguing anymore. We'll see how things go from here!"
Lu Fengjun said something to me, while Xie Yuancheng's sharp eyes swept over me. I had to keep an eye on both sides; it was really tough.
In the end, Lu Fengjun still left. I remember everything he said, it was always the same sentence: I must be happy.
This is the final blessing for many people who love but cannot be together. I regret that I made eye contact with Lu Fengjun at Yingxian Tower. Otherwise, he probably would have found someone he likes long ago.
"Ying'er, if you look again, I'll make sure he can't leave the city!" Xie Yuancheng threatened me again. I rolled my eyes at him and ran to Li Ruowei's courtyard.
We hadn't gone far before he caught us and brought us back; that was a real blunder.
