Chapter 48 Sister
Jiang Ran was really tired yesterday and had a good sleep. He slept until noon.
When she opened her eyes, she saw Lu Weiqing with dark circles under his eyes, leaning close to her pillow, which scared her so much that she screamed.
"You, you, you, why are you in my room!?"
It must be a dream.
Before Jiang Ran woke up, his hand moved, and with a snap, it hit Lu Weiqing's cheek.
"Ahhhhh, sorry."
Oh my god, it wasn't a dream.
She suddenly remembered that she and Lu Weiqing had gotten married yesterday!
"What time is it? Help! It's not time to serve tea yet!"
The nanny didn't call her, and Lu Weiqing didn't even remind her.
Jiang Ran lifted the quilt and was about to jump out of the bed. What new bride would dare to sleep so late after just getting married? Wouldn’t she be criticized?
Lu Weiqing calmly pulled her, stretched out his long arms, and wrapped her tightly with the quilt, leaving only her fair and tender little face exposed.
"If you're tired, just sleep a little longer."
"No need to get up early, no need to serve tea. There are only three masters in this house: you, me, and my sister."
He briefly explained the situation and was about to continue sleeping with his quilt in his arms.
Jiang Ran's eyes widened when he heard this, his face full of doubt and uncertainty, and he couldn't help but blurt out: "Cousin?"
Lu Weiqing thought about her reaction.
The little girl doesn't like to be restrained. If she knew that she no longer had to get up early and no one could control her, she would at least cheer, even if she didn't kiss him twice, right?
It turns out that her focus is here.
"My sister. My sister, Lu Zhaoyang, the last name is Lu."
"Do you think everyone is the same as that scumbag Lu Yu?"
Lu Weiqing gritted his teeth as he answered, wrapping the blanket tighter around him. It seemed like he had hidden his feelings too deeply, leading her to suspect something like that.
Jiang Ran uttered an "oh" and moved his hands and feet uncomfortably. He realized belatedly that they were a little too close and his face flushed.
Strangely enough, she slept very soundly last night.
I thought I would have trouble sleeping since it was my first time sleeping in the same bed with a man. But I ended up falling asleep right away. That was too careless. Fortunately, Lu Weiqing was not a bad person.
Lu Weiqing, who was given the nice guy card, didn't know what she was mumbling in her heart, but seeing her eyes rolling around, as if she was thinking of some weird ideas, he suddenly wanted to tease her.
"Aran, do you remember that you talked in your sleep last night?"
"Ah? What did I say?" Jiang Ran was startled. She had no recollection of it at all. Could it be that she had exposed the place where she hid her secret money?
"You said--" Lu Weiqing deliberately kept the secret.
"say what?"
"You said you've been fond of me for a long time."
Jiang Ran's heart was finally at ease. This was ridiculous. He could tell right away that he was lying.
Seeing Lu Weiqing's smug look, she became competitive and decided to turn the tables.
She suppressed her anxious look and nodded lightly.
"Oh, I wasn't asleep yet."
Now it was Lu Weiqing's turn to be fooled.
His face instantly lit up with joy. He turned over while holding Jiang Ran, and lifted her in front of him, his eyes full of eagerness as he looked at her.
"Aran, what did you say? Say it again."
Jiang Ran didn't expect this to happen. He was confused and embarrassed, and struggled to hit him a few times.
"Oh, it's nothing, I was just kidding."
While Lu Weiqing was distracted, she broke free from her restraints, jumped off the bed in a panic, and repeatedly called for Nanny Yue and Taoli to come in and help her wash up.
Lu Weiqing hugged the empty quilt, feeling lost.
Alas, he was indeed thinking too much. It seemed that A Ran still hadn't figured it out.
The two of them washed up and walked out of the room side by side.
Lu Zhaoyang had been waiting at the gate of the courtyard.
She usually wouldn't get up unless someone called her, but today she took the initiative to get up early, wanting to leave a good impression on her sister-in-law.
They got married yesterday, and the eldest brother was so stingy that he drove her away before she even had a good look at his sister-in-law.
When the two met, they were both shocked.
What surprised Lu Zhaoyang was that Jiang Ran was so beautiful. The few times they met before, he only had a quick glance and didn't see even one ten-thousandth of her beauty.
Jiang Ran was even more surprised. The woman she mistakenly thought was Lu Weiqing's sweetheart turned out to be his biological sister! What a huge mistake!
In the end, it was Lu Zhaoyang who reacted faster. He took Jiang Ran's hand affectionately and told her: "Sister-in-law, don't be so reserved. There are only three of us in the mansion."
"Well, just call me Ah Ran."
Seeing her enthusiasm, Jiang Ran asked a question he had wanted to ask for a long time: "Are your uncle and aunt not planning to come to Chang'an in the near future?"
Jiang Ran was actually a little confused. She had always thought that a wealthy family like the Lu family would be very picky about the future head of the family's wife.
But when Lu Weiqing got married, it seemed that no one had heard of any instructions from his parents. Only a cousin came from Gusu to congratulate him, and the rest were relatives who settled in Chang'an.
Lu Zhaoyang looked a little unnatural, but soon returned to normal and said casually, "Yes, they are not used to living in Chang'an."
"That's good too. Not listening to old people gives me a lot of peace of mind, doesn't it?"
Lu Zhaoyang was very happy when he saw her, and after dinner he took Jiang Ran out shopping.
Lu Weiqing was helpless. He hadn't even gotten along well with his wife yet, but Lu Zhaoyang snatched her away.
However, the two little girls were staring at him eagerly.
Seeing that Jiang Ran also wanted to go shopping, he hesitated for a moment, but finally let her go. There were still five days of wedding leave, and there was a chance to get close to her.
Seeing him agree, Jiang Ran breathed a sigh of relief. She was still not used to being with Lu Weiqing all the time. This man was too oppressive, as if he could easily see through everyone's thoughts.
They were of similar age and both had a lot of free talk, so they soon started chattering away, both feeling that they had met too late.
Knowing that Lu Zhaoyang also liked to read storybooks, Jiang Ran took her to Jixian Bookstore and generously gave her a copy of all the best-selling storybooks from the past three years.
Lu Zhaoyang's eyes lit up and he was about to return the gift to her.
"Aran, you're dressed too plainly. Let me pick out some nice jewelry for you."
Jiang Ran waved his hands repeatedly, "No, there's no occasion that requires dressing up."
"How could that be?" Lu Zhaoyang was extremely surprised. "The spring hunt is coming soon. My brother will definitely accompany me. You will go with me, right? Of course you have to dress up carefully."
"No... no need..." Jiang Ran was a little hesitant. Not to mention that Lu Weiqing had not invited her to go with him yet, even if she wanted to go, since it was just hunting, there was no need to dress up.
"Of course you do. You're the Prime Minister's wife now, so of course you have to use the best of everything! That way, people will know how much my brother treasures you."
Lu Zhaoyang didn't say anything and dragged Jiang Ran to Linlangzhai.
Who would have thought that enemies would meet on a narrow road? As soon as I entered the store, I saw Xu Qingwan with a few maids and old women, looking very arrogant.
Lu Zhaoyang didn't know her, and just thought that those vague glances were because Jiang Ran was good-looking, so the girl took a few more glances.
She held Jiang Ran's hand more and more proudly, and tried on any exquisite jewelry she saw.
"This creeping grass gold hairpin is perfect for you. It's only two hundred taels. Buy it!"
"These gold filigree and jade butterfly earrings are also beautiful. Buy them!"
"nice."
“This looks good.”
"Buy, buy, buy, pack them all up."
Jiang Ran was dazzled by the sight, and wanted to save her some money, so he advised: "Zhaoyang, there's no need to buy so many, just pick two."
Lu Zhaoyang waved his hand and took them all. "How can this be! If you are worried about me spending money, all these will be charged to Big Brother's account."
"You are his wife, and he said that money earned should be spent on his wife! The money belongs to the wife, this is our Lu family motto."
