Du Jingyi's words made everyone's faces suddenly become difficult.
If Deputy General Luo was still alive, they would be a perfect match, but now, he has been dead for several years, and I am afraid he has already turned into a pile of bones. How can they be together? Therefore, Du Jingyi sighed helplessly.
"So, I won't force her. When she was young, she fell in love without knowing it. She only realized it after she missed it. This pain is enough to torment her for the rest of her life. So unless she voluntarily comes to me and says she wants to get married, I will never ask her to get married again."
Hearing this, the ladies all nodded.
I was very sad about the departure of Lieutenant General Luo, and at the same time I felt sorry for the good marriage that could have been achieved.
Cherry was standing outside, listening quietly to the ladies talking inside.
The tip of her nose felt a little sour. In fact, she couldn't explain why she was like this. She had clearly had the chance, and she and Luo Yuan could have been together.
Even if he would eventually die for the general and for the sake of his country, the two of them had expressed their feelings after all, which was better than her now, where she was regretting more and more and could only spend the rest of her life recalling the not-so-long past.
She stood in the porch and did not go in.
Suddenly, I felt a pat on my back. I turned around and saw a familiar face. My mood adjusted again and I asked a question.
"Why are you here? Shouldn't we be training now?"
Lizhu is much darker than Yingtao now. After all, she is exposed to the sun outside every day, unlike Yingtao who serves the lady in the house. Therefore, her skin color is darker, and her teeth naturally look whiter. She said while grinning with her white teeth.
"I came to tell Madam that the four little girls we sent over last time were all very talented, but they were just too weak, so they need to be well cared for for a while before training."
"You should make the decision on matters like this. Why bother the Madam?"
"Hey, I miss my wife, don't I? I'm finding an excuse to come and see her. How about it, Sister Cherry, how are you these days?"
"I knew you were poor. Everything is fine."
The sound of the two people talking in the corridor was still heard by Du Jingyi inside, and then she shouted at the top of her voice.
"But Lizhu is here?"
Seeing this, Lizhu raised her eyebrows and walked in. Yingtao shook her head behind her, smiling happily.
"I knew that Madam must be thinking of me, so she knew it was me just by hearing the sound."
She has always been a lively person, and now following people like Fourth Aunt, she has become even more outgoing.
As soon as she arrived, the atmosphere became much more lively.
Aunt Xing always loved to tease her, and she said with her eyes curved.
"Oh, it's Miss Lizhu who's here. Last time I heard from my fourth cousin that you are very powerful now. You have a guard team of several hundred people, right?"
"Mrs. Xing, you are too kind. I just knocked around in the mansion. It's okay to deal with a small thief, but if you want more, it's not enough."
"You're being modest again, aren't you?"
Lizhu smiled but didn't say anything more.
Du Jingyi asked her why she came here, and she hurriedly repeated what she had just said. Du Jingyi thought it was a good thing, so he told her.
"Tell Danruo to prepare a better combination of their meals, and then ask the palace doctor to take a look. If you can add some medicinal food to nourish them, maybe it will help them get better."
Seeing this, Lizhu looked as if she knew it, and then said.
"Madam is really kindhearted. I understand. I will tell Sister Danruo right away."
"It's cold in winter, so you should be more careful during training. If you don't have enough clothes, go find Lu Ju to get some. I told her last month to hurry up and make a batch of winter clothes for you. They should be almost ready by now."
Hearing this, not only Li Zhu, but even the aunt and the others couldn't help but sigh.
"You really treat everyone equally."
They can be considered as masters who treat their servants well, but compared with Du Jingyi, they always feel a little different. Sometimes they are still a little condescending, but Du Jingyi treats them as his own family members and always cares about them from the bottom of his heart.
Hearing this, Du Jingyi smiled.
"They grew up with me. They are more like sisters than servants."
The word "sisters" made Yingtao and Lizhu's eyes red. It was indeed true. They had followed the Madam since they were young and had never suffered any grievances.
The friendship between the master and servant in the room was deep and strong, and outside, Nanny Dou walked in quickly with a festive look on her face, and spoke to everyone in the room.
There is no mistake in the poem, post, content, and read the book on 6, 9, and bar!
"Madams, the Third Madam, the Fourth Miss, and Miss Xia are all back."
"Ah? How come they came back without saying a word?"
After saying that, Xia Meng walked in, followed by her third aunt, Gu Xiaolang, and Nan Ge'er who was dozing off in the wet nurse's arms. He looked fair and tender, and looked very much like Gu Xiaolang.
Everyone in the room was surprised.
They were more or less aware of Xia Meng's arrival, but they always thought that they would send a message before returning. However, they didn't know until she entered the house, not to mention the third aunt and Gu Xiaolang who were unaware of it. So they immediately stood up and asked in surprise.
"Why didn't you tell me you were coming so that someone could pick you up?"
The eldest aunt blamed the third aunt a little, but the third aunt hadn't seen her sisters-in-law for a long time, so her eyes suddenly became red and she spoke with a tearful voice.
"I missed you so much. I heard you were in Sui'an City, so I wanted to come and see you. I happened to meet Doctor Xia, so we went together."
"Third cousin's wife has lost some weight. Is she missing us?"
Aunt Xing made a joke at the side, and Third Aunt, who was originally feeling a little sad, suddenly burst into laughter.
"You are still such a chatterbox!"
After saying this, Aunt Xing's attention shifted from her to Xia Meng.
I don’t know if it’s because she goes out often and is therefore knowledgeable and experienced, but Xia Meng always exudes a sense of calmness and composure, yet also a little distant.
Although she would be her daughter-in-law soon, Aunt Xing still didn't know how to start the conversation when she saw her. Xia Meng, on the other hand, walked up to Aunt Xing and greeted her and everyone else according to the etiquette of the Daxing Dynasty.
"Okay, okay, I'm glad you're back. I've almost prepared everything for your wedding with Zhao'er. I'm just waiting for you to come back to set a date. We can move into the house next month. I guarantee you'll like it! Oh, and there's also the wedding dress. I embroidered it a long time ago and put it at home. Try it on later. We can change any parts that don't fit."
