Judging from her words, she must have come to ask about matters related to relationships.
Having known each other for so long, she knew quite a bit about He Jiuniang.
He Jiuniang was bought by the Lu family, which wasn't exactly a good thing. The only thing to be thankful for was that the Lu family treated her very well and never mistreated her after they bought her.
Her husband went to work as a镖师 (bodyguard/escort) on the second day of their marriage and was gone for many years. The Lu family never blamed her for this mistake.
I recently reunited with Lu Baichuan, and it seems that the relationship between the couple is still quite good.
If that's the case, then why is she asking me about relationships now?
Jiang Ruoya was a little nervous. This child had grown up without a mother to guide her, and she didn't know her daughter's personality very well, so she really couldn't figure out what she was thinking.
"you say."
Nevertheless, she responded to He Jiuniang with a smile, saying that she had to hear what He Jiuniang had to say first.
He Jiuniang thought for a moment and said, "Aunt Jiang, you know about my husband and me. He left home on the second day of our marriage. Over the years, my impression of him is only slightly more familiar than that of a stranger. When we reunited recently, I wasn't as happy as I had imagined. I even selfishly thought that if he had never come back, my life might have been easier."
“At first, my interactions with him were polite but distant. I always felt uncomfortable because he had suddenly entered my world.”
"But he never had any affairs during the years he was away. Instead, he focused on making achievements and bringing glory to the whole family. He was also very good to me. He would always ask for my opinion before making a decision and would never force me to do anything I didn't want to do. Even during my trip to the capital, I received letters from him every few days."
“I’m very confused. I don’t know what my feelings for him are right now. When I saw his letter, I was happy and excited, but when I replied to him, I kept avoiding some emotional issues.”
"I don't know how to face him now, nor do I know how to express my feelings to him. I feel like I'm in a complete mess, I have no idea what to do..."
As she spoke, she sighed softly, feeling that the issue of relationships was far too complicated.
After listening to her finish speaking, Jiang Ruoya shook her head and smiled helplessly. She could tell that the woman was indeed in a state of turmoil, and even her words were scattered, which showed how much she was suffering.
However, the problem He Jiuniang mentioned was much better than she had imagined. She had originally thought it was something serious, but it turned out to be just a problem in the relationship between husband and wife.
If this were a bad relationship problem, it would indeed be a headache, but judging from He Jiuniang's words, there was clearly a good situation.
She thought for a moment before speaking, "Actually, I think from the moment you started telling me all this and explaining so much for him, you already had the right answer in your heart. Without a doubt, you've fallen in love with him."
“Your feelings for him now are not like when you first got married, when you were just together to complete a task in life, nor is it because he is the dog’s father and you have some blood relationship with him. You have truly fallen in love with him as a person.”
"Relationships do indeed develop gradually. From the beginning, when you felt some resistance to his return, to gradually getting along well with him, and now to being unable to control your feelings, it's all a specific process. You are attracted by his strengths and personal charm. Putting aside all external reasons, the person you love is him."
"It's just that you've never had this experience before, which is why you're so troubled now. Since you've come to me, it means you trust me enough, so I won't hide anything from you."
"Life is neither long nor short. It's not easy to meet someone who treats you sincerely like this. Since you have met one, don't let him go."
“He’s good to you because he cares about you. If you keep running away, he might mistakenly think that you don’t have those feelings for him. You’ve also said that he would never force you to do something you don’t like. If you keep running away and not responding directly, he might just keep that love hidden in his heart and never show it again.”
Jiang Ruoya's meaning was clear: she wanted her to seize the opportunity to let the other party know as much as possible, so as not to miss out on such a good man.
He Jiuniang had thought so too, and now that she heard Jiang Ruoya was also supportive, she felt relieved.
"But how am I supposed to bring it up? I just can't bring myself to say it directly to him!"
He Jiuniang sighed, stopped picking vegetables, and rested her chin on her hand, deep in thought, waiting for Jiang Ruoya to give her some advice.
Jiang Ruoya found it amusing; her daughter truly didn't understand matters of the heart. Looking at her straightforward nature, she wondered where she'd learned it from.
“If you can’t say it, you don’t have to. Some things don’t necessarily have to be said. You can show him through your actions that you care about him. That’s fine too.”
Upon hearing this, He Jiuniang immediately felt that she had found the right person. How come she hadn't thought of that?
Her mind was filled with postmodern confessions and the like; if she loved him, she should let him know, and tell him loudly.
If they were a couple with a very good relationship, she could say those intimate things without any pressure. But now they are in a rather contradictory and awkward relationship, so it's hard to say.
Therefore, demonstrating through actions is the only and best way right now.
So what exactly should she do?
He Jiuniang already had the answer in her heart regarding the specific approach.
After all, the special clothes she designed have helped many couples improve their relationship, so there's no reason why she, as the chief designer, wouldn't use them herself.
Just kidding, she's a modern all-rounder. Even if she hasn't eaten pork, she's still seen pigs run, right?
If all else fails, I can just go into my spatial dimension and binge-watch a few classic scenes, hehehe...
With this thought, she felt much better and her earlier frustration and helplessness disappeared.
"Oh, Aunt Jiang, I knew I should ask you about this kind of thing! You're so kind!"
She hugged Jiang Ruoya and jumped around, feeling happier than ever before.
"You're right, youth fades quickly, so we should cherish the people in front of us. I don't need to be so troubled."
She had been troubled by this before, constantly tormenting herself, but now she realized that Lu Baichuan was a high-quality man in this era. If she didn't make her stance clear soon, another woman might interfere.
Wasn't Yu Fen a prime example?
"It's good that you understand. I'm just giving you some advice based on my many years of experience. Lord Lu is indeed a very good husband. You should cherish him."
