Chapter 120 Farewell
"I didn't." Su He tucked the corner of the quilt and deliberately avoided looking at him.
"Then why don't you turn around?"
The two have been married for so long, and they rarely have the habit of sleeping back to back. Even if they do, every midnight, Su He will turn around and climb onto his waist.
Lu Huaihe reached out and stroked her hair gently. The smooth hair passed gently through his fingers, leaving a fragrance.
He got on the bed with his clothes on, and gently held Su He's slender waist.
Su He only felt her heart beating, silently feeling the touch he brought, and a certain place in her heart was like a spring bud, wanting to emerge.
"Ah He, you must be good in the capital. If anyone dares to bully you, I will settle accounts with them one by one."
Su He closed his eyes, thought about it, and put his hand on his thick palm, and said softly: "With the eldest princess here, who will bully me?"
"There are times when my mother is not able to take care of me. But Qingyun will follow you and protect your safety."
"Everything is stable in the capital. I don't need Qingyun, but you..."
He didn't say the rest. Su He looked down at his hand and was handed a token by Lu Huaihe.
It was his personal order.
"When necessary, you can also summon the people in the Dali Temple."
Su He's eyelashes trembled, and he suddenly realized that everything was not that simple.
"Is the capital...going to change?"
Then a faint sob came.
The separation of life and death in the previous life was so painful that Su He is still afraid of separation. The tearing and pulling heart-wrenching pain can no longer be endured.
Lu Huaihe felt extremely distressed. He propped himself up, held her face with both hands and gently touched her lower lip. His fingers stroked her cold cheeks, and he said hoarsely on his forehead: "Ah He, I will come back."
Even if he had to crawl, he would crawl back inch by inch.
How could he abandon the woman he had dreamed of for so many years?
Su He held back his sobs, wiped away his tears, and stared at Lu Huaihe with his bright eyes.
His eyes slowly moved down and stayed on his lips.
"Lu Yuan."
"Hmm?"
Su He's cheeks were as red as the morning glow. She timidly pressed against his chest and said in a low voice, "I want a child. It's good to have a son or a daughter, as long as it's ours."
Lu Huaihe drooped his eyelashes and smiled softly. His voice was seductive and a little lazy: "My wife has given an order, how dare I disobey?"
Su He's ears were red again. She was dazzled by the charming atmosphere and turned her face away quickly.
But Lu Huaihe didn't allow her.
He pinched her chin with one hand, gently welcomed her, and leaned over to kiss her.
Su He could feel his hands wandering on her body, staying closest to her chest, his eyes soaked in spring water were full of desire.
The spring buds in her heart finally emerged.
Neither of them could remember the time that night, they only knew that in the second half of the night, the first rain of early winter fell outside the window.
The rustling sound fell on the windowsill, and the cool breeze whistled by, but the temperature in the room gradually rose.
The lanterns in the corridor swayed in the wind, and the light swayed and fell on the light gauze tent.
Su He bent her knees, gently hugged the strong body, and also embraced the faint pine scent on his body. She looked at the curtain in a daze and whispered softly.
Maybe it was because they realized that they would be separated and there would be many days without seeing each other.
Lu Huaihe gave it again and again without any effort, and Su He only felt that his body was floating, as if he had lost all his strength. It was not
until the morning light illuminated the room that Su He's sweet dream was disturbed and he suddenly realized that it was already the second day.
Pei Xia entered the room to help him wash and wash, and saw that Su He had already gotten up and was dressing Lu Huaihe.
"You didn't get enough rest last night, remember to get some more sleep later."
Su He felt his blush creeping up to his ears again, and he responded softly, leaning over to get a hair crown to tie his hair.
After everything was packed up and a simple breakfast was had at Yanyun Pavilion, it was time to set off.
A group of people had already been waiting outside Li Garden, and seeing that Lord Lu was taking a long time to come out, it was not easy to go in and urge him, so they could only ask Qingyun to help ask when they could set off.
Qingyun accused them of being ignorant of romance. It was already the day of separation, so the master and his wife should be gentle and affectionate. Why rush them?
Half an hour later, Lu Huaihe finally showed up.
Qingyun looked carefully at his tired eyes, unable to hold back his smile, and whispered in his ear: "My lord, were you tired last night?"
Lu Huaihe glanced at him sideways and asked slowly: "Have you received your allowance for this month?"
Qingyun was dismayed: "I can't deduct any more! I still have to find a wife! You are so gentle, but my wife is still unmarried!"
He looked back at Li Garden and did not see Su He. "Why didn't your wife see you off?"
Lu Huaihe jumped on his horse and adjusted the reins. "She doesn't like these scenes. You take good care of Ah He. When I come back, I will buy a house for you and find you a wife."
"Okay!"
He gave an order and the team started off.
Qingyun stood on the steps and watched the team go away before entering Li Garden to see Su He.
As soon as he turned around, he found her hiding behind the screen wall, her eyes slightly red, and she was in a bad mood.
Pei Xia made a silent gesture behind him, and Qingyun did not dare to ask more questions.
When Su He turned around and returned to Qinfang Residence, Pei Xia said to Qingyun: "Madam frowned during breakfast, and she didn't want to see you out of the city in person, crying and making you worry. She was afraid that they would be separated for a long time, so she couldn't help but want to see you off, so she had to watch secretly behind the screen wall."
"Madam, you can't bear to leave you."
"Of course I can't bear to leave you! Since you got married, your master has never said a harsh word to you, and he always cares about you. Others say that our lady is marrying above her station, but I think your love is stronger!"
In Qinfang Residence.
Su He took out Lu Huaihe's token from under the pillow, held it to his heart, closed his eyes and took a nap.
As soon as she woke up, Pei Xia brought her some nourishing ginseng soup, saying, "Before leaving, my lord, let the servants take good care of Madam. The temperature is dropping, and drinking some ginseng soup in such a cold weather is the best way to nourish you."
Su He was not reluctant when Lu Huaihe was mentioned.
Thinking of last night, she could clearly feel her cheeks burning.
She held the porcelain bowl and drank the ginseng soup, and her body immediately felt warm.
"Madam! Something happened at the Lu Mansion!"
Steward Lin had just returned from shopping outside, and saw that the Lu Mansion was in a commotion, with people surrounding it. It would have been fine if he didn't ask, but it would have been a big deal if he did!
"What happened?"
Su He wiped her mouth with a silk handkerchief, and vaguely guessed something.
The whispers she made to Lu Yunqing must have worked.
"The Li family's concubine Lu took the children of the Lu family to a farm, tied them to the pillars with ropes, and placed dry firewood around them, saying that she was going to set it on fire!"
Pei Xia heard it and said, "Even if it's not true, it's just two pitiful lives. Even if concubine Lu doesn't want to live, how can she harm the children?"
