He felt he must still be asleep, otherwise why would he feel like he and his wife had switched genders?
Let him take his medicine by himself first thing in the morning, so as not to cause her any trouble?
What kind of scumbag quotes are these?!
Lu Baichuan took a deep breath, picked up the medicine bottle, and looked at it.
Hangover cure, then it's alright.
He poured out a few pills and ate them himself. Thinking that the court session was over, there was no point in him getting up, so he lay back down and took a nap with his wife. He didn't get up until the afternoon.
When they woke up, their headache was gone, but they were hungry. The two of them lazily got up, washed up, and then sat in the yard to eat.
It was very cool under the tree, and a gentle breeze blew by, dispelling much of the gloom in my heart.
As Lu Baichuan served food to Jiang Jiuniang, he asked, "Wife, is there anywhere you particularly want to go?"
"Yes, there are so many. I want to visit several neighboring countries, as well as countries outside of my own. It would be very interesting to go out to sea by boat."
Jiang Jiuniang wanted to go to many places, but she didn't know how advanced the navigation technology was in this era. She couldn't afford to have an accident because the technology wasn't up to par.
Upon hearing this, Lu Baichuan suddenly felt that he didn't want to work for another day and wished he could resign right now and take his wife out to play.
My wife was originally a free and easy person, but she did so much for him by staying in the capital. She should be herself again.
Just then, a maid came to report: "General, Madam, Mr. Kang has arrived."
The two exchanged a glance, and Lu Baichuan said, "Go tell Mr. Kang that I am not receiving guests recently."
Mr. Kang is close to them, and now many people are starting to avoid them, but Mr. Kang still chose to come at this time to express his choice.
They had always known about Mr. Kang's choice and didn't need him to prove anything, but now was indeed not a good time to meet.
Mr. Kang got to where he is today through his own abilities, but because of past relationships, the two sides have a closer relationship.
However, Mr. Kang often helped Lu Baichuan in court, fighting against the ministers, which offended many people. Now that the Lu family is feared by the emperor, those people will start to target Mr. Kang.
The Kang family's situation is much more difficult than the Lu family's. Lu Baichuan was promoted quickly, and even if people were dissatisfied, they had to greet him with smiles on the surface. But the Kang family is different. If Mr. Kang wants to be promoted, he can only slowly endure it. He has a very low official rank now, but he is always arguing with people in the court.
Previously, the emperor sided with the Lu family, and helping the Lu family was helping the emperor, so the emperor could tolerate some of his actions. But if they completely turn against each other in the future, Mr. Kang will be the one in the most danger.
Therefore, Lu Baichuan wanted to take this opportunity to avoid suspicion, distance the two families, and try his best to prevent the emperor's anger from affecting the Kang family.
Mr. Kang was not angry after being rejected, and acted as if nothing had happened. He got into his carriage and left.
Upon returning home, Madam Kang, Chen, greeted him and asked, "My son, why are you back so soon? Does Miss Chen still refuse to see you?"
Ms. Chen thought he was going to find Chen Feier as usual. In the past, he could at least stay for most of the day. Why did he come back so quickly today?
Does this mean there's absolutely no chance?
“My son didn’t go today; he went to the Lu family. However, the general and his wife didn’t want to see me, so I came back.”
Mr. Kang sighed. He felt like he was having a run of bad luck lately, and nothing he did seemed to go smoothly.
"How could that be? The General and his wife have a good relationship with you, so why don't they want to see you?"
Ms. Chen sensed that something was wrong and became nervous.
After she came to live in the capital, she had the closest relationships with the Lu family. The Lu family was easy to get along with, and she was happy to be with them. She couldn't even imagine how difficult her life in the capital would be if her son really broke with the Lu family.
"Mother, don't worry, it's not what you think. The situation in the court is tense right now. The general and his wife are not seeing me because they are protecting me. They are just keeping their distance from me on the surface."
Mr. Kang knew that his mother also had special feelings for the Lu family, so in order not to upset her, he briefly explained the situation.
"Is it just on the surface? Then why would it be necessary to do this? Isn't the Lu family highly valued by the Emperor?"
Ms. Chen looked confused. Everything was fine before, so how did it suddenly turn out like this?
"It's nothing serious, Mother, don't worry."
That's what they said, but Mr. Kang still couldn't laugh. Only they themselves knew how serious the matter was.
There's no need to cause worry to the elders in the family.
"That's good, that's good. Now that they've distanced themselves from you, can I still go have tea with Old Madam Lu?"
Mr. Kang did not answer immediately, but thought about it carefully before saying, "Of course it is possible, but Mother, please remember to take a few more people with you when you go out and pay more attention to safety."
Madam Chen nodded repeatedly: "No problem! You go ahead with your work, I'll head back now."
On her way back to her own courtyard, Madam Chen began to worry about her son's marriage again. The young lady with the same surname as her, also named Chen, had a very good personality, and Madam Chen really liked her. She wished she could be her daughter-in-law.
Of course, the most important thing is that my son likes her too. He hasn't had a girl he likes all these years, and this time he finally has one, so he must seize the opportunity.
"Oh right, didn't Madam Lu come back? She's always been full of ideas, I'll go ask her to help us think of a solution!"
She turned to leave, but her maidservant hurriedly reminded her, "Madam, didn't the master say..."
"Oh right, right, then how about we don't go to her house, but try to bump into her on the street? Mrs. Lu can't stay home forever, can she?"
The more Chen thought about it, the more reliable it seemed. After all, it was just a chance encounter on the street, and those people with bad intentions had no reason not to let people run into each other, right?
