Lu Baichuan remained silent. This was indeed his fault. He had always thought that as long as he clearly refused and ignored them, it would be fine. But the other party clearly did not think that way. In fact, they had now directly entered his home, which had definitely stepped on his sore spot.
After being told off by his wife, he deeply realized his mistake and that he should indeed handle this matter himself.
"OK."
He agreed, which was also giving Wei Yu one last chance. If she could figure things out and give up during this time, he would be willing to let it go. But if she caused any more trouble, not only would his wife be unhappy, but he would also be angry.
The men of the Lu family have never considered finding a woman other than their legal wife; this is a family motto!
The next morning, apart from He Jiuniang, who stayed behind to prepare for the opening of the club, everyone who had previously planned to leave set off together.
Lu Baichuan headed towards the capital, while the Zhang brothers and Lu Fugui led the escort agency to the grasslands, and Old Man Lu and Boss Lu headed south to Changzhou.
When seeing them off, Mei Xiao and Wei Yu stood openly beside He Jiu Niang, and neither of them showed much reaction as they watched the departing crowd.
Mei Xiao, holding the dog, was listening to him talk. He said that his father used to teach him martial arts, but now that his father was gone, Mei Xiao would have to teach him some so that his father could thank him when he went to the capital.
Mei Xiao's usually indifferent face softened slightly as he listened to Gou'er's childish voice, and he naturally agreed to whatever Gou'er said.
Wei Yu didn't show any inappropriate expression in front of so many people. When Madam Sun looked her over, she even returned a sweet smile.
He Jiuniang suddenly spoke up: "I'm worried about Bai Chuan going to his post alone. Why don't you go with me, Miss Wei Yu? Mei Xiao needs to take care of the children, and I don't have anyone else to ask for help. I'll have to trouble you to make the trip, Miss Wei Yu."
When He Jiuniang said this, she still used a consultative tone. Wei Yu looked at He Jiuniang in surprise, somewhat incredulous.
Logically speaking, this kind of thing should be left to Mei Xiao to do. If she is asked to do it, it is because she has some intention of taking a concubine.
At least that's how Wei Yu understands it.
She couldn't contain herself any longer, her face beaming with undisguised excitement.
He Jiuniang curled her lips into a smile, then grabbed Ms. Sun, who was restless and about to slap her.
Fortunately, Wei Yu still retained a shred of rationality and said, "Miss, this... isn't quite appropriate?"
“There’s nothing inappropriate about it. We’re all on the same side. You were sent by Uncle Ming, and I trust you. I’ll rely on you to take care of Bai Chuan on the way.”
She held Ms. Sun down firmly, smiling gently and gracefully.
Wei Yu took a close look at He Jiu Niang and felt that her suggestion came from the bottom of her heart. Moreover, she kept stopping Sun Shi, which showed that she was willing to match her with Brother Lu.
So the girl knew that she had liked Brother Lu for so many years, so she created this opportunity for her?
She was so moved that she burst into tears, feeling that she was willing to be a concubine instead of the main wife, since the girl had been so good to her!
Seeing her expression, He Jiuniang knew that she was already moved. Without waiting for her to say anything, He Jiuniang took the initiative to say, "Go quickly, or you won't be able to catch up."
As he spoke, Fang Da silently led over a horse, which had been arranged the night before.
"Yes, Miss, rest assured, I will take good care of Third Master!"
He Jiuniang hasn't recognized Jiang Ruoya yet, so Wei Yu doesn't dare to directly call Lu Baichuan "son-in-law." Besides, Lu Baichuan isn't going to Qianfan Pavilion to visit, so calling him "son-in-law" is really inappropriate. They only call each other that in private.
After saying that, she mounted her horse and chased after Lu Baichuan. Only after watching her go far away did He Jiuniang dismiss the servants and children around her, and then she dragged Madam Sun back to her own courtyard.
Although Madam Sun was very anxious, she didn't say much in front of so many people. After all, Wei Yu was gone and Mei Xiao was gone. No one knew what they were planning to do, so it was best not to say anything rashly.
Once back in the courtyard, making sure no one could hear what she was saying, Ms. Sun abruptly pulled her hand back and slapped He Jiu Niang on the shoulder.
"Are you out of your mind? You clearly know what that woman is up to, yet you still let her follow Lao San. Are you stupid?!"
Having held her down for so long and dragged her all the way, He Jiuniang knew she couldn't escape this slap. Anyway, it didn't hurt much, so she casually rubbed it and said to Sun Shi with a smile, "That's exactly why I'm sending her to Baichuan's side. Otherwise, how will she have a chance to prove herself?"
He Jiuniang pressed down on her shoulder and shook her gently, saying, "Don't worry, Ms. Sun, this is a plan that Bai Chuan and I discussed last night. We will never let her succeed."
Sun raised an eyebrow. So, she had worried for nothing?
Thinking about this, I suddenly wanted to take a picture of He Jiuniang again. This woman is getting more and more of a worry!
"Anyway, as long as you know the truth, that's fine. I'm just worried that by the time you've finished dealing with things here and go over there, she'll already be pregnant. Where will you go to cry then?"
Sun snorted coldly, her tone tinged with impatience.
He Jiuniang: ...
“It might be possible for someone else, but I trust Bai Chuan. He was away from home for four years without any news, and he managed to stay completely untouched. He can definitely manage for just a few days.”
This shows He Jiuniang's unconditional trust in Lu Baichuan.
Lu Baichuan had no feelings for the original owner before, yet he still stayed by her side for so many years. Now that their relationship is quite good...
The sense of security he provides is enough to sustain her unconditional trust, so there's no need to worry about these things at all.
Hearing this, Madam Sun immediately became proud and said smugly, "That's right, I can rest assured about the son I raised."
He Jiuniang was amused by her and did not refute her. The old lady was quite skilled at raising children.
After hearing the explanation, Mrs. Sun was finally relieved. She left humming a little tune. She had also made plans to play mahjong with her old friends. She had promised to teach them how to play yesterday, so that she wouldn't be lonely when her children were too busy to play with her.
He Jiuniang then prepared to go to the clinic. She really couldn't go there anymore. Doctor Song had always taken good care of her, so she wanted to go and tell them in person, and also give them a few more prescriptions.
Meanwhile, Wei Yu quickly caught up with Lu Baichuan.
She had prepared herself for rejection, but as soon as she said that the girl had sent her, Lu Baichuan immediately stopped rejecting her.
However, he didn't speak to her and just continued on his way.
Lu Baichuan was very unhappy. If it weren't for the fact that he was acting in this play, he could have had his wife send him off at night, and they would have arrived in the capital in no time. Instead, they would have to endure several days and nights of bumpy travel.
Wei Yu felt that this was always his personality, so she didn't think there was anything wrong with it. As long as she could stay by his side, she was already very content.
During the rest stop, Wei Yu diligently went to find water to feed the horses and other things, running around like a busy little bee.
Lu Baichuan acted as if he didn't even see her and ignored her completely.
It wasn't that he was pretending to be aloof; he was just trying to calm his anger, because he really didn't want to start cursing as soon as he opened his mouth.
