"Mmm!" the dog nodded its little head. "When I go to school, the teacher often praises me!"
Sun said with a proud look on her face, "Although you are useless, Gou'er is amazing. Leizi and the others started school half a year earlier than him, and they still can't catch up with him!"
Lu Baichuan: ...Yeah, he's pretty useless.
Nevertheless, he was still very happy that the child was well-behaved even without his presence, all thanks to his wife. He glanced at He Jiuniang with delight.
He Jiuniang was unusually shy; his gaze was far too intense.
Cough cough...
She adjusted her expression and said, "It just so happens that I had discussed with my mother about buying a house in the prefectural city. Now I will buy it as soon as possible so that my parents won't have to stay in an inn."
The eldest brother immediately said, "Does your sister-in-law have enough money? Or should I go home and get the money first before we buy it?"
Just as He Jiuniang was about to say that was enough, Lu Baichuan said, "No need to buy. I have two houses in Jingzhou, which were given to me by His Highness for my previous merits. Although no one has lived there, there are servants in the mansion to keep them clean. You can just go there."
The elderly couple from the Lu family were initially pleased that their son owned a house in Jingzhou, but then they remembered that he had acquired it at the cost of his injuries, and their joy quickly turned to sadness.
"Really? Third brother is really promising!"
The eldest son of the Lu family was the happiest. They used to think that since their third brother was gone, they would not usually mention him in front of their parents. But they never expected that their third brother was not only alive, but also so successful. He really brought honor to the Lu family.
Lu Baichuan didn't think it was a big deal. After they finished eating, he planned to take them to his house.
Boss Lu was about to leave after finishing his meal, but Lu Baichuan insisted that he come along first to familiarize himself with the place so he could find it next time he came.
Just as he was about to leave with his things, he saw Dr. Song and his son coming to the clinic. Dr. Song breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that Gou'er was safe and sound in the arms of a masked man: "It's good that the child has been found. But, Dr. He, where are you going?"
Looking at the man standing with He Jiuniang, Song Chi felt a strange sense of hostility. Who was this person? How could he be so close to her?
He didn't even need to hide in front of the Lu family, and stood openly next to her, the two of them very close.
“My husband is back. He will take me and my family to settle in first. I would like to trouble Dr. Song to send someone to tell my previous patients that today’s consultation will be changed to an in-home visit in the afternoon.”
He Jiuniang's words completely chilled Song Chi to the bone.
Her husband? Is he the one next to her?
No wonder...
But wasn't her husband dead? How did he suddenly reappear?
Could there be some kind of conspiracy?
Just as he was about to speak, his father smiled and congratulated him: "That is truly a joyous occasion! I congratulate Dr. He and his family on finally being reunited! Chi'er, have Afu go to each patient's home to inform them, so they don't have to wait any longer."
The following sentence was addressed to Song Chi. As a father, he naturally noticed that something was wrong with his son. To avoid embarrassment and trouble, he decided to send him away first.
Song Chi's reaction was so obvious that anyone paying attention could see it.
The most embarrassed person was Mrs. Sun. Just the day before yesterday, she was trying to match her third son's wife with this young doctor, but she didn't expect her third son to come back. She was really afraid that she, as his mother, would actually marry his wife off to someone else.
Lu Baichuan saw it but pretended not to. Regardless of what this man might have feelings for his wife, the fact that his wife openly revealed his identity proved that she had no other intentions towards him.
As for this person, there was no chance when he wasn't around, and now that he's back, there's even less chance.
Song Chi didn't react immediately. Instead, he paused for a moment, glanced at Lu Baichuan with resentment, and then turned and left.
Dr. Song pretended that no one had noticed his son's unusual behavior and smiled as he saw the family to the door.
Two carriages were already parked at the gate, arranged by Lou Chong. The thought that the owner of Lu Heiya was his sister-in-law gave him extra motivation to do everything.
He Jiuniang, along with Gou'er and Sun Shi, rode in one car. Lu Baichuan originally wanted to stay with his wife and son, but his father pulled him away.
Given his injuries and the hasty reunion last night, there wasn't enough time to ask him many questions in detail, so Old Man Lu naturally had to question him thoroughly.
Meanwhile, He Jiuniang, sitting in the carriage, couldn't help but laugh as she looked at Sun Shi, whose expression remained rather awkward.
"Mother, what would the situation be like now if I had married according to your plan?"
He Jiuniang naturally knew that Sun Shi's actions were all for her own good, but now that the old lady was still recovering from the extreme joy and sorrow, she, as her daughter-in-law, naturally had to help ease her mind.
Sure enough, Sun, who was initially somewhat confused, was immediately enraged. She slapped the woman's leg and said, "It's not over yet! You're not allowed to gloat like that!"
The little dog patted its chest and said, "I even said I'd save up for Mommy's dowry! Will Daddy be angry if he finds out?"
He had already prepared himself for his father to never come back, but his mind was shattered in a single day, and he still finds it all a bit unreal.
"Yes, it's truly a blessing from heaven. It's not easy to run into someone like this after all these twists and turns!"
Mrs. Sun also sighed with relief. When she found out her grandson was missing yesterday, she was so guilty that she wished she could die on the spot and cried all day. But now, not only has her grandson returned, but her son has also returned!
"No, there must be our ancestors protecting him! When I get back, I must burn lots of paper money for the Lu family ancestors to thank them for protecting my son!"
She was a bit eccentric, but He Jiu Niang could see that when she prayed with her eyes closed, the corners of her eyes were upturned, which meant she was very happy.
He Jiuniang couldn't help but smile, hoping this happiness could last forever.
Lu Baichuan owns two houses. One is in the main urban area, not far from the clinic, and the other is on the outskirts of the city, larger and quieter, but too far from the main urban area.
Considering that He Jiuniang needed to go to the clinic to see patients, he still went to the one in the main urban area.
In the main urban area, there is a place called Xishuiyuan. As its name suggests, a stream flows through the courtyard. The courtyard is a large three-section courtyard with artificial hills and strange rocks, as well as exotic flowers and plants. The elderly couple from the Lu family stood at the gate and were hesitant to go in.
I thought my brick house in Anping Village was impressive enough, but after seeing this house, I realized that my house was nothing special.
The people guarding the house are a family of three: a middle-aged couple and their fourteen or fifteen-year-old son.
Because Lou Chong had sent someone to inform them, they all stood before the Lu family and bowed, saying, "Your servants greet your master!"
