"Besides, I'm all alone over there, with no ties or obligations, so there's no point in going back. But here, I have you and Gou'er, as well as my parents and all my family. Even if I have the chance to go back in the future, I won't."
He Jiuniang knew that this man liked to overthink things all day, so even though Lu Baichuan didn't ask, she still took the initiative to express her feelings.
Lu Baichuan was overjoyed, and he couldn't hide the smile on his face, but he still asked, "So, do you think it's your son or me that you'll miss the most?"
Upon hearing this, He Jiuniang's fists hardened instantly.
She shoved the shameless man away and said fiercely, "Go if you want, don't go if you don't!"
As he spoke, he boarded the helicopter and quickly closed the cabin door, clearly not wanting Lu Baichuan to get in.
Seeing that his wife was really angry, Lu Baichuan quickly chased after her and squeezed in as the cabin door closed.
"Honey, I was wrong, don't be angry."
Lu Baichuan showed remorse and tried to take He Jiuniang's hand, but He Jiuniang dodged him and angrily ordered, "Aren't you leaving yet!"
"Hey!"
Lu Baichuan readily agreed, quickly went to sit in the cockpit, and then started the engine.
He Jiuniang taught him for a day, and then planned to have him drive it directly to the capital.
He wanted to appease his wife, but he had only just learned to drive and couldn't be distracted. He was very careful and followed He Jiuniang's instructions.
He Jiuniang ignored him and simply closed her eyes to rest.
After teaching for a day, she knew that Lu Baichuan had grasped the material quite well, but she didn't dare to let her guard down. Even if she didn't intend to pay attention to him, she still kept an eye on her surroundings.
Upon arriving at the open space on the outskirts of the capital, He Jiuniang immediately got up and went down, then stored the helicopter in her spatial storage.
The two horses also emerged from the space, looking around at everything with bewildered expressions.
He Jiuniang mounted her horse and galloped ahead, with Lu Baichuan hurriedly following after her.
"Honey, don't be angry, I was just joking with you!"
Lu Baichuan apologized, and He Jiuniang glanced at him and asked, "Still being a smart aleck?"
"I'm not cheap anymore."
"Who is more important, you or your son?"
"My son is important."
He Jiuniang was satisfied and continued walking forward, but she was no longer as indifferent as before.
They entered the city using the tokens and returned together to their residence in the capital.
The servants here knew they were coming a few days in advance and had prepared all sorts of things.
He Jiuniang ate, took a bath, and went to sleep, while Lu Baichuan sent someone to inform Prince Chen's residence before returning to his room feeling wronged.
His wife was already fast asleep, but he didn't go to sleep immediately afterward. Instead, he quietly watched her sleep by the bedside.
It must be admitted that he knew he was wrong, but he was still jealous of his son.
He only wanted his wife to belong to him, and he felt uncomfortable seeing her near anyone else.
He might be sick!
Realizing this, he subconsciously raised his hand to touch his forehead, but it wasn't hot!
Sigh, he's just destined to be a busybody; the moment he has some free time, he starts overthinking everything.
The couple, one fast asleep and oblivious to everything, the other experiencing a late-night daze, had no idea what kind of suffering the assassins who ambushed them on the way were enduring.
These assassins were hired by the Tan family's remaining associates at great expense. They wanted to kill the couple when they went out alone, but after ambushing them for several days, they made no move.
It was freezing cold; I don't know how they managed to get through one frigid night after another.
"Boss, did that couple take a detour?"
"Impossible! No matter which road you take to get to the capital, you will definitely pass through here. Otherwise, we wouldn't have laid an ambush here in the first place."
"That's true, but it's been several days already, why haven't those two come yet? It can't be that slow!"
"What do you know? Maybe the couple was too busy flirting and walked a little slower."
"You're an old married couple, why are you still talking about love?"
...
As they talked, they couldn't help but shiver. If they hadn't come soon, they might have frozen to death in this desolate wilderness!
The next morning, after breakfast, the two went to visit Prince Chen's residence. Lu Baichuan and Prince Chen talked about the recent events, while He Jiuniang showed the gifts she had brought to the Princess.
The princess learned of her arrival last night and was so excited that she couldn't sleep. She got up very early this morning and waited in the courtyard. When she saw He Jiu Niang, she smiled so much that her eyes narrowed into slits.
"You've finally arrived! I've been looking forward to this for so long. I've been excited for days since I heard you were coming!"
To avoid gossip, Lu Baichuan sent a letter to the capital a few days ago, saying that they had already set off for the capital, and last night's arrival was as expected.
The princess held her hand intimately as they walked towards her courtyard, her hand never letting go.
"When you go back this time, His Highness and I will also go back to visit. I have never wanted to go to Jingzhou so much!"
He Jiuniang knew that she was so eager for the outside world, so she smiled and said, "Alright, Your Highness, this time you'll come back with us, and I'll take you to Jiayuan Pavilion. You can take whatever you like!"
"Okay, okay, that's what I think too!"
The princess readily agreed, then added, "I was hoping to see your club open this time, but I never expected to encounter such a despicable thing. What a disappointment! Those traitors from the Eastern Court are far too audacious!"
As she said this, the princess was furious, wishing she could kill those people from the Eastern Court.
"Don't panic, don't panic. The club is already being rebuilt, and I learned that the woman dared to attack the club. I've already gone to make trouble for her and paid her a large sum of money. It's just a pity for those workers who were harmed. They were alive, and I'll avenge them one day!"
He Jiuniang gritted her teeth, thinking of those people who died tragically, and wished she could go and beat Xinran up again.
But there's no rush. Keeping Xinran around is a long game; once all the big fish behind the scenes are brought out, that woman will naturally have no use to him anymore, and everything will be fine.
The princess listened and immediately became interested, saying, "I heard that woman is the head of the Eastern Court's spies. How did you manage to cause trouble for her?"
"Ugh! Those guys were no threat to me. I just rushed over and beat them up. When the others saw this, they immediately implicated her, and she had to pay me back. Then Bai Chuan took the opportunity to arrest her and lock her up in jail for a few days. It was so satisfying!"
The princess's eyes widened: "You hit someone?"
Weren't those spies supposed to be highly skilled in martial arts? How come they were defeated so easily?
"Yes, she provoked me. What would I do if I didn't beat her up? It's one thing for her to provoke me, but she also caused the deaths of innocent people. It's only because I'm kind-hearted that I didn't kill her."
He Jiuniang stood with her hands on her hips, looking extremely pleased with herself.
The princess then remembered that when Lu Baichuan had his accident, He Jiuniang had come to rescue him overnight, and it seemed that she had also injured quite a few people that night.
