Chapter 52: Returning to the Three Kingdoms

Lu Mingchao could feel the hot tears falling on her ears and slowly flowing into her neck.

Xie Yan is crying.

A call with a choked sob.

The dim candlelight reflected in Xie Yan's eyes, like a shattered moon in the water, flashing a tiny and bright light.

Lu Mingchao patted Xie Yan's back gently, humming a new song he had learned a few days ago.

Wine doesn't make people drunk.

People get drunk by themselves.

Xie Yan has been tense for too long.

As the night deepens, the gentle song flows like the gurgling water.

Lu Mingchao didn't know when he fell asleep. He only remembered that the candle on the candlestick flickered once and finally faded into darkness.

When I woke up again, it was already daybreak.

There were two red plum blossoms that came from nowhere on the wooden table under the window.

The cold wind blows through the window cracks, and the red plum blossoms sway, beautiful and tenacious.

Lu Mingchao's mood suddenly became brighter. Before going to bed, he saw the lamp wick blooming and when he opened his eyes, he could see fiery red plum blossoms, which were all good omens.

Lu Mingchao put on his clothes, packed up in the Space Supermarket, and walked out.

There was a thin layer of snow on the branches of the dead trees, and the huge yard had already been swept clean.

It turned out that it snowed at night.

Is this like the spring rain, creeping into the night with the wind?

"Mother."

Xie Jingyi was squatting under the eaves, brushing her teeth in a serious manner.

As soon as he saw Lu Mingchao, he opened his mouth happily, with white foam all over his mouth.

After rinsing her mouth, Xie Jingyi ran towards Lu Mingchao on her short legs. "Mom, it's sweet. Smell it."

Xie Jingyi opened her mouth widely, with her soft and smooth hair tied casually behind her head, looking cute and tight.

Lu Mingchao smiled and kissed Xie Jingyi's chubby cheek. "It's sweet."

"Sanbao is so good."

"Mom, kiss me!" Xie Jingyi's face was filled with a brilliant smile. "Erbao, Mom, kiss me."

Xie Ruan: …

He is young and deaf.

Yes, men and women should not touch each other, so he is not jealous.

"Ming Dynasty."

Xie Yan was wearing a black robe with narrow sleeves, which was tied tightly at the wrists. His black hair was neatly tied up, which made him look taller and more handsome, like a young man.

"Ayan looks really good today." Lu Mingchao joked with a smile.

Well, Xie Yan looks good every day.

Xie Yan's cheeks blushed slightly. "Mingchao, I have prepared some things for my return visit. Come and see if there is anything else I need to add."

Lu Mingchao nodded, and rubbed Xie Ru'an's head as he passed by.

“When were these prepared?”

Half a frozen, firm pig, two cleaned chickens, two jugs of mellow and refreshing wine from the city, two rolls of cloth, one light and one dark in color and soft in texture, and a set of pen, ink, paper and inkstone.

"Everything was prepared before the wedding." Xie Yan said softly.

"I'll add some fresh fruits and vegetables later."

"It's not easy to take this away." Lu Mingchao looked at the large half of pork and felt a little worried.

Xie Yan smiled and said, "I have prepared a cart. The road is not too slippery, so we can just push it over."

Lu Mingchao was relieved.

She just likes the days when she doesn't have to worry about anything.

After everything was packed up, the gate was locked.

Xie Yan pushed the wooden cart in front, and Lu Mingchao followed behind with a few children.

Xie Jingyi and Xie Ruan put their heads together and whispered.

Lu Mingchao held his breath and concentrated, but he overheard it without changing his expression.

The two little guys are worried about whether they can be liked by others.

There were still a few red "囍" characters left on the courtyard wall that had not been blown away by the wind. They fluttered in the wind and, from a distance, looked like plum blossoms on the branches, very eye-catching amid the scattered snow.

Lu Lei stood at the door, rubbing his hands and stamping his feet, looking around from time to time.

Lu Mingchao suddenly recalled the scene when she left the Marquis' Mansion that day.

Lu Lei and Lu Chunsheng were also waiting outside the corner gate of Yongning Marquis's Mansion, with a faint sense of hope in their hearts, just hoping to see her once.

"My little sister is back." Lu Lei's hearty voice rang out.

The next moment, Yunniang came out hurriedly, without even having time to wipe the water stains on her hands.

“I am here.”

Yunniang looked at Lu Mingchao carefully and was relieved to see that his face was not as pale as yesterday.

Then he called Xie Yan's children.

"Grandma." Xie Jingyi was cheerful and sweet-spoken. She pulled Xie Ruan, who was shy and afraid of strangers, forward and smiled sweetly.

Xie Ruan took a deep breath and summoned up her courage, "Grandma."

Yunniang's heart softened. "Come in quickly."

"Huai Qian." Yunniang did not forget to thank Huai Qian.

When the wooden cart was pushed into the yard, Yunniang could see clearly what was on it. She felt relieved but also a little uneasy.

She secretly pulled Lu Mingchao to the kitchen and said earnestly, "Chaochao, if the family is to survive, you must not always think about supplementing the family income."

"Which girl in the surrounding villages would bring so many things back home?"

"Those fresh fruits and vegetables must have cost a lot of money."

Lu Mingchao held Yunniang's arm affectionately and said, "Mom, I happen to have some connections that can get me some fruits and vegetables cheaply. They are not worth much."

"Xie Yan had already prepared the other gifts before the wedding."

"Mom, don't worry, your son-in-law is very filial."

"Mom, I still want to drink the soup you stewed." Lu Mingchao said coquettishly in a very natural way.

Yunniang tapped Lu Mingchao's forehead and said, "Mother has prepared it a long time ago."

"Chao Chao, the plum blossom petal on your forehead is so vivid and lifelike. At first glance, it looks like the real thing. Why did I ever think of piercing a plum blossom petal before?"

There was no panic in the Lu Ming Dynasty, and the main focus was on time difference.

"Mom, I got a scar when I was young, so I just found a good embroidery artist to have it tattooed, so I don't have to look in front of the mirror every day to get embroidered."

Gu Zhen also asked her the same question when she stayed overnight.

Her words were almost exactly the same, only the time was changed.

"Mom, doesn't it look good?" Lu Mingchao asked with a playful smile.

Yunniang said with an adoring look, "It looks good."

"Damn, Chao Chao is beautiful no matter what."

Then, he said helplessly, "Your forehead will bring you disaster and misfortune."

Lu Mingchao didn't care, "Now the tide has turned for the better."

"How do you get along with Xie Yan?" Yunniang looked left and right and said in a low voice.

Lu Mingchao raised his eyebrows, feeling that this question was somewhat meaningful.

Yunniang stamped her feet and whispered in Lu Mingchao's ear, "When did your period start?"

Lu Mingchao: It’s confirmed, she is not judging her mother’s pregnancy by her own standards.

Lu Mingchao remained calm and said, "Wedding night."

Yunniang looked at Lu Mingchao, whose eyes were clear and bright, sighed softly, and gently pushed Lu Mingchao, "Go to the house and have a rest, and talk to your grandma."

Yunniang sincerely hoped that Lu Mingchao could have a biological child.

Lu Miao's incident left Yunniang with psychological trauma.

Lu Mingchao rubbed Yunniang's shoulder and said, "Mom, Xie Yan treats me very well. Huaiqian, Ruan, and Jingyi are also respectful and affectionate to me."

"Xie Yan raised his children very well and made them well-mannered and filial."

"Don't worry about me, Mom. I'll be fine."

"Even if we take a step back, don't I still have my second brother to make the decision for me?"

I have no way to write to you.]
