Prince Yu's Mansion
The three children were taken away by Leng Ming, and Prince Yu's Mansion suddenly became much quieter. Luo Lan and Leng Yu sat opposite each other, drinking tea and chatting.
"Husband, please arrange a job for Ming'er. He's not a child anymore and can't stay like this forever."
"Is this what Luo Xue meant?"
"How do you know?"
Leng Yu raised his head and looked at her tenderly.
"During dinner today, I noticed that Leng Ming's constant attentiveness had caused Luo Xue to resent him. It seems Luo Xue's personality is similar to yours; she's someone who refuses to be mediocre. I'll go back to the court and find a suitable job for Ming'er, so he doesn't have to sit around and think about random things all day."
"Okay, Ming'er is too cynical. Luo Xue is right. I've thought about asking you to find him a job for a long time, but it was always delayed because of something else. Now that everything is settled, mother and Luo Xue have returned to the Duke's Mansion. Our lives are back to normal. It's great."
"Yes! So much has happened recently, and now things have finally calmed down. After six months, when father's health recovers, I'll be able to spend more time with you and the child. I'm sorry for putting you through this."
At this point, Leng Yu placed his hand on Luo Lan's across the table and continued with an apologetic look on his face:
"There are many miscellaneous matters at court, and it's quite troublesome to deal with them. I may not be able to take care of the family, so you have to take more care of it."
Luo Lan frowned and stuck out her nose at him.
"My husband, I am your wife, the mistress of Prince Yu's Mansion. You speak like this, making me feel like an outsider."
Seeing the displeasure in her tone, Leng Yu hurriedly explained,
"My lady, you misunderstood. That's not what I meant. I just feel sorry for you. You have to go to Huichun Hall to treat patients and take care of the family at the same time. It must be very tiring..."
"What's tiring? As long as we're together as a family, I'm not afraid of being exhausted. As for you, don't forget to take a proper rest when handling court affairs..."
Having said that, she smiled with satisfaction, and Leng Yu also showed a rare smile on her face.
Luo Lan had been feeling exhausted recently because of the matter between Luo Xue and his mother. Now that his mother had returned to the Duke's Mansion openly, Luo Xue could also go in and out with her openly without worrying about others' suspicion. If Luo Xue and Ming'er could achieve a happy ending, it would be a happy event that would make everyone happy.
The three children stayed in Prince Ming's Mansion for three whole days. During these three days, Prince Yu's Mansion seemed much quieter without the noise of the three children.
In contrast, the Prince Ming's Mansion was unusually lively. Leng Ming ordered the servants to prepare enough food and drinks for the children. Today was the day to go home. The three children pouted reluctantly and sat in the back garden of the Prince Ming's Mansion, watching the small fish swimming in the river and muttering,
An An was the first to speak.
"We have to go home again. I haven't had enough fun yet."
Lele also nodded and said with her lips pursed:
"I haven't had enough fun either, but we have to go back to study. I guess we have to make up for the lessons we missed in the past three days."
An An stared with eyes wide open, looking at it in astonishment.
"Make up for it? That's not what Mom said. If I had known, we should have just stayed home and studied. It would take forever to make up for it."
Huaiyu, who had been silent all the time, watched his brothers and sisters muttering to each other and could not help but persuade them:
"Mom is just hard on the outside but soft on the inside. She won't let us make up for it. Let's go over there and play for a while. Mom will come to pick us up soon. I don't know when we will come to visit my uncle next time."
After hearing what he said, An An and Le Le got up from the ground and nodded repeatedly.
"Okay, let's go!"
Watching the three children running towards the rockery, Ming'er shrugged his shoulders and smiled knowingly.
"Luo Xue, it's so nice to have children at home. When I get married in the future, I must have more children. Otherwise, this huge palace will be too quiet."
Luo Xue came in the morning. In the past few days, she came to Prince Ming's Mansion to play with the children during the day and returned to the Duke's Mansion at night.
She smiled calmly.
"Marry more wives and have as many children as you want."
Leng Ming frowned and looked at her with some displeasure.
"Do you want me to marry more wives?"
"What does this have to do with me?"
"Why is it none of your business? Luo Xue, do you really not like me at all? I can't figure out what's wrong with me that makes you so distant from me. Can you give me an answer?"
Luo Xue turned her head to look at him. Although there was still a smile on the corner of her mouth, it did not reach her eyebrows.
"Leng Ming, you are Prince Ming of Daning State. Even if you do nothing, the court will give you a salary, but do you really want to live like this for the rest of your life? You are already at the age to establish a career, don't you want to find something to do?"
Do things?
Leng Ming tilted his head and glanced at the ground, then shook his head slightly.
"I... I haven't thought about it. Maybe my life is too comfortable. I've never thought about finding something to do. But isn't it good for me to be like this? The salary given to me by the court is enough to cover the expenses of the entire Prince Ming's Mansion, and there will still be a lot of surplus..."
The words he said filled Luo Xue's face with gloom. She breathed a sigh of relief, and her disappointment with Leng Ming increased a little.
"Huaiyu, An'an, Lele, go home with your mother."
Luo Lan's shout broke the silence of Luo Xue and Leng Ming. Luo Xue hurriedly stood up from the stone bench and walked towards Luo Lan without looking back.
