Lu Baichuan was puzzled and asked, "Is it not allowed? Or do you have something to discuss with your mother tonight?"
The dog frowned as he looked at his father; he seemed to know why his mother was angry.
His father is a little unreliable!
I don't even know why he's angry!
They don't even know where they went wrong!
Just as he was about to say something, he heard someone calling for dinner, so he said, "Father, let's eat."
After saying that, the little guy took his hand and deliberately slowed down to wait for him, knowing that he was in pain.
Although he was angry, this was still his father, and no matter how angry he was, he couldn't just run away.
Lu Baichuan felt a warmth in his heart. His wife and son were both like this; although they were angry with him, they wouldn't really abandon him.
The addition of Cheng Xuewei tonight has made it even more lively.
Old Lu continued the conversation from last night, asking Lou Chong and the others to tell him about interesting things happening outside, and the laughter continued.
Although He Jiuniang still didn't really want to talk to him, Lu Baichuan still shamelessly sat down next to her, occasionally putting food into her bowl, acting like he loved his wife dearly.
He Jiuniang listened attentively to the interesting stories, paying little attention to anything else. She ate whatever was in her bowl, not being picky at all.
After the meal, everyone said goodbye and left. Old Man Lu and Mrs. Sun returned to their own courtyard early.
He Jiuniang arranged for Xu Dashan to take Cheng Xuewei home, and then had Xu's wife take several new servants to arrange accommodations. She then went back to her room to take a bath.
The dog glanced at its father, who was alone, and resignedly led him back home.
Lu Baichuan wanted to talk to Gou'er, but he didn't know how to start. The child seemed to still be angry with him.
But when they arrived at his room, it was Gou'er who spoke first: "Father, don't worry, I won't go looking for Mother."
After saying that, he let go of Lu Baichuan's hand and went to his room, his back looking somewhat lonely.
Lu Baichuan felt a pang of sadness and quickly said, "Doggy, Daddy will take you horseback riding in a few days!"
"Okay, okay!"
The dog immediately smiled, turned around, waved to Lu Baichuan, and then happily ran back to its room.
He had wanted to learn to ride a horse for a long time, thinking it was majestic and incredibly cool. Especially the day before yesterday, his father took him to the prison on horseback, and he was so excited the whole way.
He couldn't possibly be really angry with his father, but when he was about to help his father coax his mother, he was told not to come out easily, which made him feel like he was superfluous and made him a little sad.
But now that his father said he would take him horse racing in a few days, he was no longer sad and even forgave his father for his earlier dislike of him.
Seeing his son finally smile, Lu Baichuan's mood brightened as well.
Being a first-time dad, I don't know how to take care of a child's emotions. I must learn from my two older brothers in the future.
He sat in his room for a while, thinking about how to explain to his wife that Lou Chong and the others had moved the boxes of gold and jewelry from before into his room, and that he could use that as an excuse to go see her.
"Someone come here."
He opened the door and called out. Just then, Sister Xu had arranged for Li and Lin to serve in the main courtyard, so they were naturally staying in the side room of the main courtyard. Hearing their master's call, they hurriedly ran out and said, "Third Master, what are your orders?"
"Please carry these boxes to Madam's room with me."
As he spoke, he pointed to several boxes in the room and slowly went out the door.
The box is heavy, but it's not difficult for two people to move it together; at worst, it just requires a few more trips.
He stood at the door of the master bedroom and knocked: "Honey, I've brought you something."
He Jiuniang had just finished bathing and was getting dressed. Guessing that it was a gift of gold, she said, "Come in."
Li and Lin kept their heads down and carried the things in, making several trips before they finished. Lu Baichuan waited until they were done and left before going in.
I need to explain this to my wife tonight, otherwise things will get difficult in the future.
He sat down at the table and saw a figure moving behind the screen. The graceful figure was reflected on the screen, and his body felt a little hot. He quickly looked away.
He and his wife are sleeping in separate rooms now. "Don't look at what you shouldn't look at," he says, "otherwise you'll be the one who suffers."
"Wife, I have something to tell you."
He stood with his back to the screen, trying his best to keep his tone calm.
He Jiuniang was drying her hair behind the screen. She was used to doing these things herself, and even though there were servants in the house, she didn't like to let them help her.
She was stunned for a moment when she heard Lu Baichuan speak, as she had thought he had left.
"Say what you want to say."
Just as her hair stopped dripping wet, she came out from behind the screen, ready to comb her hair at the dressing table.
Hearing footsteps, Lu Baichuan assumed she was dressed and turned around, only to be instantly shocked.
He Jiuniang didn't wear the normal undergarments of the time, but instead wore a slip dress of her own design.
Although there were no sponges for breast padding in this era, a layer of cloth with cotton could still prevent nipples from showing.
Although the dress was designed to be loose, it was made of silk, which was particularly flattering to the figure. As He Jiuniang moved, the hem of the dress outlined her slender figure.
He Jiuniang was beautiful, with fair and smooth skin and slender, graceful limbs; she was like a painting just standing there.
Lu Baichuan was stunned and didn't know how to react for a moment.
He Jiuniang was a modern person and didn't think there was anything wrong with wearing a slip dress in her own room, so after coming out, she naturally sat down in front of the dressing table and started combing her hair.
After waiting for a while without him speaking, He Jiuniang, with her back to him, reminded him, "Didn't you have something to say?"
Lu Baichuan snapped out of his daze and glanced guiltily to the side.
"Ahem... I'm here to apologize for what happened yesterday."
I cleared my throat to make my voice sound normal.
Although he didn't think his wife was deliberately trying to seduce him, as a normal man, he was a little agitated.
"What's up?"
He Jiuniang was a little unsure and irritably combed her hair.
Her hair was a bit tangled and too long to manage. When she encountered a tangled section, she would hold her breath and pull it all the way down, which made her wince in pain.
Seeing this, Lu Baichuan quickly got up to help.
He took the comb from her hand and carefully untangled the knots, explaining, "I upset you last night. I asked Mother, and she said it was because what I said to you made you misunderstand, making you think I treated you like a servant, which is why you were angry. But I really didn't mean that. I... I was just feeling a bit bored being alone in the room and wanted you to keep me company, so I deliberately made conversation."
He initially felt that it was embarrassing for a grown man to say such things, but unexpectedly, he felt much more relaxed after saying them.
