Article 250 Yun Shuo resumes his post

Cheng Yunshuo came back early today.

I came back at noon.

When Lu Lingyun heard the news that he had returned home, he sent someone to invite him over.

As soon as Cheng Yunshuo arrived, Lu Lingyun saw the bandaged wound on his wrist.

A handkerchief was tied to a roll of gauze, and the handkerchief was embroidered with exquisite chrysanthemum patterns.

"What happened to the prince? How did you get hurt?"

Cheng Yunshuo had a very strange expression. He hesitated to speak, his brows were tightly knitted, and he hid his worries and annoyance. Finally, he hid his hands behind his back and said, "It's nothing. I touched it myself."

Lu Lingyun blinked his eyes and said, "Your Highness, please be careful when you go out. It would be bad if you get hurt."

Her considerate words made Cheng Yunshuo look evasive.

Seeing him like this, Lu Lingyun was too lazy to interrupt him and said, "I have good news for you, Prince."

"What good news?"

"I just went to see Sister Wang and asked her about the current situation of Yu Linjun and whether you, the prince, can be reinstated. Madam Wang told me that since I have spoken, I will suppress the matter no matter what. Just ask you, the prince, to resume your post tomorrow!"

At first, Lu Lingyun paved the way for Cheng Yunshuo without letting Cheng Yunshuo know. This time, Lu Lingyun openly told him that he helped Cheng Yunshuo to be reinstated.

She asked Cheng Yunshuo to accept her favor in a dignified manner.

As soon as she finished speaking, Cheng Yunshuo's eyebrows immediately lit up, "Really?"

"That's true! But Madam Wang told me that now that you have been reinstated, you must not do anything out of line again, or you will make things difficult for them." Lu Lingjun tapped without leaving a trace.

"Of course!" Cheng Yunshuo's heart and eyes were filled with joy at being reinstated, and he agreed immediately.

He had not intended to cause trouble at first. Cheng Yunshuo had planned to make some achievements when he joined the Yulin Army. He was spoiled by Qin since he was a child. Qin did not allow him to do this or go that. The nobles who had fought in the border had to send their own children to gain experience, but as the only son of the family for several generations, Qin would not dare to let him make any mistakes.

What Qin meant was that the Cheng family had few descendants, and even if Cheng Yunshuo stayed in the capital for his entire life and lived as a lazy playboy, the Marquisate could still afford it. As long as he was there, the Marquisate would not fall apart, and the family could continue to be prosperous for generations. But if he went to the battlefield and got injured, then the Marquisate would really fall apart!

She persuaded the old marquis not to force Cheng Yunshuo to achieve great things and to put the family foundation first. The old marquis had no choice but to let Cheng Yunshuo do as he pleased.

Cheng Yunshuo grew up in such an environment. He lived an easy life but was looked down upon by his father. He had ambitions in his heart, but at the same time he knew that his abilities were limited and he could not accomplish great things.

I have always been very concerned about the mission of Yu Linjun.

He wanted to show his parents some achievements and tell them that their son was not that bad. After all, who wants to be a playboy forever?

He felt extremely sad when he was suppressed and suspended from work.

Now that he had gotten his job back, Cheng Yunshuo’s confidence returned as well.

He looked at Lu Lingyun, "Lingyun, thank you very much."

"We are husband and wife, why is your Excellency saying these polite words? If you really want to thank me, just come back early in the evening and spend more time with the children." Lu Lingjun said slowly.

"It's natural!"

When Cheng Yunshuo heard this, he agreed without hesitation. He had great respect for Lu Lingyun in his heart, and the more he looked at Lu Lingyun, the more grateful and satisfied he was.

He met many women in his life. Although Lu Lingyun was not his favorite and they had no romantic feelings for each other, their bond as husband and wife was real.

Even at this moment, he couldn't help but feel in his heart that the other women were just like that, and none of them were as important as Lu Lingyun.

Cheng Yunshuo put Bixi behind his mind for a moment. He stayed with Lu Lingyun, talking to her and looking after the children, acting like a considerate husband.

Seeing him like this, Lu Lingyun chuckled in her heart.

That stupid woman Du Ruo would get nothing by forcing him to go and make a scene, but in reality, just a few words would be enough to deal with Cheng Yunshuo.

Core interests always capture people's hearts.

Crying and making a fuss to force others to submit is just torturing yourself and is completely useless.

It was just a matter of dealing with a mistress, but Lu Lingyun didn't even bother to raise his eyelids.

The next day, Cheng Yunshuo went to serve as a general in the Lin Army and resumed his duties.

In the evening, he came back early, had dinner with Lu Lingyun, and then spent some time with the children.

It was late at night before he left her yard.

"Prince, where are we going tonight?" Qingfeng asked.

Cheng Yunshuo heard this and said, "It's getting late, let's go back to the Yanguang Pavilion and rest."

It would be too late to go to Bixi, but as for Du Ruo...he would not go.

He went straight back to his own room to sleep.

Three or five days passed in a flash. Since Cheng Yunshuo had promised Lu Lingyun that he would come back earlier to spend time with the children, he had not shown up at Bixi's place for several days.

Bixi was lost in thought in the outer courtyard.

There was a look of anxiety between his brows.

"Madam, what are you thinking about?" asked the little maid in the yard.

"She must be thinking about the master!" another little maid said.

Both of them were bought temporarily by Cheng Yunshuo for Bixi to serve her.

Bixi said that she was hiring him as a cook, but Cheng Yunshuo didn't treat her as a cook at all. First, he rented a yard for her, and second, he bought maids and nannies to serve her. The two little maids just called her "Young Madam" and "Master".

It seemed that he thought Bixi was the mistress of this courtyard.

"Why hasn't the master come these days?"

"Yes, it's been quite a while. After that crazy woman made a scene that day, the master hasn't come since."

Bixi heard the two maids say this and glanced at them, "Who allowed you to talk so much? Get to work!"

"Yes, Madam, we are wrong."

The two little maids were so frightened that they hurried back to work.

Bixi sat in the yard, the details of the past few days flashing through her mind.

Du Ruo had come to her place to cause trouble before, but considering that woman, Cheng Yunshuo shouldn't give up on her.

She remembered clearly the way Cheng Yunshuo looked at her at that time. She had also made some inquiries during these days and found that her face looked very much like Cheng Yunshuo's deceased concubine.

Cheng Yunshuo would never give up on her.

Her eyes were deep, and she had given herself confidence again. She decided to wait and see and be patient.

At this time, the old woman in the yard came over.

"Madam, I need to withdraw some money. I need to pay for the food tomorrow, and also the money for the fabric I ordered a few days ago."

"how much?"

"Twenty-eight taels, five coins and four cents," said the old woman.

When Bixi heard this number, she frowned immediately.

Her expenses in the outer courtyard are not small. She said she has to cook for Cheng Yunshuo, three meals a day. Even if Cheng Yunshuo doesn't come, she still has to provide the ingredients.

Moreover, all the food she makes are delicacies from land and sea, and she selects only good materials, so the expenses must be quite high!

She also had to buy some fabric for her own clothes, and she would choose the best of them.
