Jiang Ruoya patted her back and sighed sincerely. She truly felt that her daughter was very lucky to have met such a husband and in-laws, which made up for a lot of her guilt. So, she really wanted to visit Mrs. Sun when she had the chance to thank her for taking care of her daughter over the years.
However, she doesn't have the courage to acknowledge her daughter yet, so she can't find a reason to see Mrs. Sun and can only keep it to herself.
He Jiuniang agreed with what she said. In this feudal era, it was not easy for Lu Baichuan to do this. Moreover, she was sure that she was in love, so why should she be coy?
"I heard he went to the capital, it's been a while now. If you're done with your work, you can go and see him. It's a way for you to express your feelings."
Jiang Ruoya was already offering her ideas, and He Jiuniang immediately gave her a thumbs up, praising, "As expected, old ginger is spicier! You really know your stuff, Aunt Jiang!"
As He Jiuniang spoke, she winked at Jiang Ruoya, making her feel embarrassed.
"Hey, I'm talking about serious matters, don't joke with me like that!"
Jiang Ruoya blushed. Although she felt there was nothing wrong with talking to her daughter about these things, she still felt a little uncomfortable being watched by her daughter like that.
"Okay, okay, I understand what you're saying, but I have important things to do right now, so I'd better not go. Anyway, he's been gone for so long, I think he should be back soon, we'll talk about it then!"
He Jiuniang waved her hand, pretending not to care, but in reality she was still a little timid and needed time to calm down.
Jiang Ruoya saw through her little scheme at a glance, smiled but didn't say anything, and was genuinely happy for her daughter.
She had many bad relationships in the first half of her life, but found true love in the second half. Her daughter had a turbulent childhood, but finally found a home when she grew up. The fates of the mother and daughter are quite similar.
But in the end, it's all good after hardship, and things will definitely get better and better in the future.
After figuring out the things that ordinary people do, He Jiuniang suddenly felt hungry. She ate two bowls of rice at Jiang Ruoya's place and then happily went back home.
That drawing that was ruined halfway through has to be redrawn from scratch. I must get it done tonight.
Autumn has arrived, and Mr. Kang's school has closed. The students who were originally in the school have been introduced to other reliable schools by him. As for the Lu family's children, they are all preparing to come to Jingzhou.
Tomorrow is the day my kids are coming to Jingzhou for school, so I have to take them around and buy them things they need. I basically have no free time.
Once she has arranged everything at the clubhouse and the children's schooling, Lu Baichuan should be back by then. It won't be too late to make the necessary efforts then.
Meanwhile, Lu Baichuan had no idea that his wife was struggling with her changing feelings for him. During this time, his main task was to keep an eye on Lin Yiping, the Crown Prince, and Prince Lin, trying to find out what the three of them had in common.
After staring at it for so long, he still couldn't find any clues, and he even began to doubt whether he had guessed wrong.
Prince Chen recently punished the Crown Prince according to Lu Baichuan's method, causing the Crown Prince to lose face in court several times and be criticized by the court officials, which made him feel very satisfied.
Occasionally, he would ask about Lu Baichuan's situation, and he would always receive a helpless answer, to which he would then offer a few words of comfort.
For example, today, he specially hosted a banquet at home to treat his brothers to a good meal, and he even sat at the same table with Lu Baichuan.
"You have been here for more than two months. Your family must be worried. Why don't I send someone to bring your wife over so that you two can be reunited?"
When Prince Chen said this, he had his own ulterior motives. After eating Lu Hei Ya that time, he couldn't forget it. As a prince, it was inconvenient for him to make his subordinates run back and forth just for a bite to eat, so he could only keep enduring it.
In addition, the pickled vegetables that Lu Baichuan brought him from home last time are almost finished, and he wants to ask for one or two more jars.
Of course, the princess also wanted to meet this Madam Lu and ask her to help her customize a few more dresses and such.
He stared intently at Lu Baichuan, waiting for Lu Baichuan to nod so he could immediately send someone to make the arrangements.
Lu Baichuan refused without even thinking, saying apologetically, "My wife has many things to do in Jingzhou and can't leave right now, so let's not go."
Prince Chen felt a little regretful, but when he thought of what Lu Baichuan had said before, that she was seeing patients at the clinic and also running a business, he knew she must be very busy and he could understand why she couldn't leave.
It means he has to go through a difficult time eating good food; he won't be able to enjoy good food for a long time.
"Then forget it. I feel bad that you two have been separated for so many years and are now separated again because of these things."
As he spoke, Prince Chen sighed helplessly.
The main reason was that he didn't have many capable people at his disposal, which is why he sent Lu Baichuan, who was stationed in Jingzhou, to Jinzhou to handle matters.
In fact, he really wanted to transfer Lu Baichuan directly to Jinzhou. After all, Lu Baichuan's abilities were undeniable, and having him by his side would make everything much easier.
However, considering that Lu Baichuan had finally reunited with his family and that his whole family had settled in Jingzhou, it was necessary to be considerate of his subordinate and let him spend some time with his family before making any decisions.
Moreover, he has been living quite carefree lately. Seeing the Crown Prince being ridiculed and scolded by those old fogies every day when he goes to court makes him feel comfortable.
Previously, he was the one who helped process the memorials. Every morning, the Crown Prince would distribute the processed memorials. Although the old ministers knew that it was not the Crown Prince who did it, he had the ability to get people to do it for him, which was a kind of ability, so they didn't say much.
But now, with so many memorials being submitted every day and not being processed properly, and the next day's submissions piling up, a lot of things were left unresolved, and the court officials naturally couldn't stand it anymore.
It's one thing for the old emperor to be incompetent, but the replacement he found is also so unreliable. If this gets out, won't people become a laughing stock?
Anyway, the Crown Prince was living a rather stifled life, while he was quite carefree. In just half a month, many court officials had clearly sided with him, which was definitely a good thing for him.
Lu Baichuan cupped his hands and said, "Thank you for your kindness, Your Highness. The situation is still uncertain, and I am not entirely at ease letting my family come to Jinzhou. Once these matters are resolved, I will definitely bring my wife to see Your Highness and the Princess."
"Very well, you've thought this through. Let's do it this way. When your wife arrives, I'll definitely throw her a small banquet to celebrate!"
Prince Chen nodded, being very agreeable. He even wondered if he should give He Jiuniang a position, since she was so capable. However, there weren't many female officials in Beiyan, so this matter might encounter some resistance.
