Chapter 34: Chaochao teases his scumbag father
After Lu Wanyi got married, the mansion suddenly became much quieter.
On the day of returning home, Lu Wanyi looked shy, and standing next to the new top scholar, they seemed to be a perfect match.
Just like a perfect match.
Lu Wanyi glanced at Xu and the corners of his mouth twitched unconsciously in sarcasm.
"Sister-in-law, I'm glad I didn't listen to you. A Ling is such a good man, but you said he was not worthy of him and stopped Wan Yi from getting married." She betrayed Xu without hesitation.
Gu Ling looked over with a sharp gaze, with a hint of coldness in his expression.
"I wonder when did I offend the Marquis's wife?" Gu Ling frowned slightly.
Mrs. Xu said calmly, "Although Wanyi is not my daughter, I personally taught her everything about her growth. She is better than my own daughter."
"She was spoiled by me and has a spoiled personality. I was worried that she would regret it, so I stopped her a little."
"As for not being a good match, that's completely a rumor."
"Who in the entire capital doesn't know that I love her to the bones? She wants to marry him just based on the first glance at her while riding a horse in the parade. How can I not stop her?" Xu sighed, as if she was heartbroken.
Lu Wanyi curled her lips and her face flushed.
She is definitely not the Gu Ling that she fell in love with during the parade.
When she went to Pei Jiaojiao's house, she met Gu Ling who came to look for Lu Jinghuai. At that time, she became interested in him.
Pei Jiaojiao even went to great lengths to invite Gu Ling to her home, and the two of them...
We have had private contact for a long time.
He just wanted to use Xu's help to elevate Lu Wanyi's status, but she was unwilling to interfere in the marriage.
Lu Yuanze also returned home early, had lunch and attended a return banquet.
Lu Chaochao successfully scooped up a few mouthfuls of meat paste.
She twisted around in Dengzhi's arms excitedly.
[It would be better if my aunt could marry again so that she could eat meat again.] 】
Xu smiled.
"Sister-in-law, let me tell you, it's been a long time since my eldest brother came home. You should also reflect on whether you have done something wrong." Lu Wanyi's tone had a hint of gloating. She was holding on to Xu just to ask for Xu's help and find her a good marriage.
Who would have thought that he wouldn't even help with such a small thing.
In order to get Pei Jiaojiao out of prison, a lot of her dowry was even sold.
"Men are meant to do great things, so it's okay for women to suffer a little grievance." Lu Wanyi leaned intimately in Gu Ling's arms, her eyes full of happiness.
Xu took a handkerchief and wiped the oil from the corner of Lu Chaochao's mouth.
[Yes, yes, next time you are subjected to domestic violence, remember to reflect on yourself... Think about why you were beaten! 】Lu Chaochao was very happy and waited for her to be beaten.
"Wan Yi is right." Xu even smiled at Gu Ling.
Don't come back crying and complain.
By the time the return banquet was over, it was already evening.
"I have to hurry and make some winter clothes for the young lady. Every autumn rain brings a chill, and the weather will soon change." Dengzhi sat in front of the bed, embroidering a tiger-head hat for Lu Chaochao by the light of an oil lamp.
"Call me mom?" Xu was coaxing Lu Chaochao.
Lu Chaochao grinned, revealing her only little baby tooth: "Liang... kiss..." Her words were not clear, but she was able to speak now, which was good!
Xu was very happy.
"Chao Chao can't speak yet, but that girl learned to speak a long time ago!" Lu Yuanze said reflexively as soon as he entered the door.
[Of course she can speak, she is a modern person, from two thousand years later. 】
[If she hadn't used modern knowledge to help her scumbag father, how could our Xu family be so miserable? 】
After hearing the words "two thousand years later", Xu took a deep breath.
His eyes dropped slightly: "Which girl?"
Lu Yuanze put his fist to his lips and coughed lightly: "My colleague's daughter. She can speak at seven months old. She looks very smart." He waved his hand and Dengzhi was stunned for a moment.
After glancing at the lady, Xu nodded, and she stepped back.
"Chao Chao, call me daddy, ah, call me daddy..." There was some surprise in Lu Yuanze's eyes.
Chaochao looks much better than Jingyao.
"Call daddy... Call daddy..." Lu Yuanze coaxed Chaochao.
Lu Chaochao blinked her eyes: "Call daddy... Call daddy..." Her soft and tender baby voice melted people's hearts.
Lu Yuanze shook his head: "Just call me Dad, Dad, Dad... Daddy..." He pointed at himself.
And Lu Chaochao said crisply: "Hey!"
Xu chuckled, then covered her mouth tightly, her whole body shaking with laughter.
The veins on Lu Yuanze's forehead were throbbing, and it took him a long time to suppress his anger, but there was a hint of displeasure in his eyes.
What’s the use of looking good?
Jingyao clings to him a lot.
Lu Chaochao, when you see him, you have to turn your butt towards him.
"Chao Chao, I am the father." There was some displeasure in his eyes.
Chao Chao pointed at her father innocently and naively: "Dog ditch... Dog ditch..." She looked so naive and ignorant of the world, which made Lu Yuanze so angry that his teeth were almost broken.
"Chao Chao is still young, why are you angry with a child?"
Lu Yuanze carried Lu Chaochao to the side.
He lowered his voice, and his elegant face showed a hint of intimacy: "Shiyun, it's been a long time since we last lived together after Chaochao was born." He gently stroked Xu Shiyun's shoulder, but Xu Shiyun just felt nauseous.
She forced herself to slap him and glanced at Lu Chaochao who had a burning gaze: "Chaochao is watching."
"Girls are delicate and stick to me. My Lord Marquis, is he lonely sleeping alone?" Xu chuckled.
Lu Yuanze caught a glimpse of Lu Chaochao's gaze and wanted to be gentle with her, but then he lost interest.
He took his hand back awkwardly: "Don't let your imagination run wild. How could I feel lonely? Besides, I don't like anyone else except you."
"It's just..." Lu Yuanze paused.
"My Lord, is there anything in trouble?" Xu asked considerately.
Lu Yuanze didn't know how to start.
If it were usual, Xu would have given him the key to the private vault and let him choose, and would never let him ask for it without dignity.
How should he say that the government was short of money?
The marriage between Lu Jinghuai and Miss Jiang had been decided, and the betrothal gift had been drawn up, but it was all returned to Xu.
Even Lu Wanyi's dowry was not presentable, and Xu did not add any dowry.
Lu Yuanze was dissatisfied.
"My Lord, are you short of money?" Xu's eyes lit up and she spoke generously.
"If you are short of money, you must tell me. We are husband and wife as one, and have been married for many years. There is no need to separate you and me." Lu Yuanze was moved by what Xu said.
He wanted it, and he also wanted Xu to beg him for it.
"The mansion has no money, so it's only natural that you eat my dowry. The Marquis is living off Yunniang, and Yunniang is happy." Xu knew that Lu Yuanze had a strong sense of self-esteem and was very concerned about face, so she stepped on his sore spot and pretended to say it unintentionally.
As expected, Lu Yuanze's face turned dark and his fists were clenched.
"I'm not short of money. I keep Yunniang's private treasury for my own spending. I'm not yet at the stage where I would eat a woman's dowry." Lu Yuanze said in a heavy tone.
"Oh, by the way, ask Yanshu to come out and testify, saying that Yanshu didn't want to be a burden to Miss Jiang, and he voluntarily canceled the engagement."
"There are rumors outside that Lu Jinghuai stole Yanshu's fiancée, how ugly it is. Don't ruin his future. He is a genius who is going to win the top three prizes in a row!" There was a hidden joy between Lu Yuanze's eyebrows.
Bang!
Xu's face darkened and she threw the teacup on the table.
