Jiang Qinyu looked at him with a bright smile, "Brother Zheng, you must be tired from your journey."
As she spoke, she casually took his hand in return.
“I’m not tired, but you,” Lu Yanzheng shook his head, reached out to put his arm around her waist, and said with pity, “You’ve had a hard time.”
He understood the hardships and dangers of pregnancy, and although he hadn't thought about it before, he couldn't help but feel nervous, afraid that something might happen to his wife.
Jiang Qinyu smiled faintly, "Alright, let's talk about it when we get back."
Everyone's watching now, and she has no interest in acting like a monkey.
Lu Yanzheng naturally went along with her, helping her walk slowly into the courtyard.
Jiang Qinyu felt somewhat helpless. She had a premonition that she would probably be treated like a porcelain doll from now on.
But now was clearly not the time to tell Lu Yanzheng these things. She had just seen Chen Shi looking at Lu Yanzheng with a conflicted expression, as if she wanted to say something but hesitated. She probably wanted to tell him about her background.
Behind them, Old Man Lu pulled Chen Shi back and shook his head at her, causing Chen Shi to stop in her tracks.
"Ah Zheng just got back, he should go wash up first, we can talk later after dinner," Old Man Lu said in a low voice.
He understood his wife's feelings. Now that everyone in the village knew about A-Zheng's background, she couldn't let A-Zheng hear about it from others. That's why she wanted to tell A-Zheng as soon as possible.
But right now, Ah Zheng only has his wife on his mind, and he's just come back, so it's definitely not the time to talk about this.
Lu Yanzheng was completely oblivious to everything else at the moment, his mind and eyes were filled with Jiang Qinyu, and he helped her back to their main courtyard.
As soon as he entered the house, Lu Yanzheng hugged her tightly, "Qinqin, I missed you so much..."
He buried his face in Jiang Qinyu's neck, gently holding her, afraid that holding her too tightly would hurt the child.
Jiang Qinyu actually missed him too, so she didn't act coy this time. She hugged him back and said with a laugh, "Yeah, me too."
Hearing her words, Lu Yanzheng felt a slight flutter in his heart. He gently pushed her away and a long-awaited kiss landed on his lips.
This time he kissed her very carefully, making Jiang Qinyu feel like she was diluting a precious treasure.
After a long while, the kiss ended, and Lu Yanzheng pressed his forehead against Jiang Qinyu's. "Is everything alright at home? Have you encountered any trouble? Are the children behaving well?"
He had one arm around Jiang Qinyu and the other hand on her lower abdomen.
Jiang Qinyu chuckled and said, "You're asking so many questions at once, which one should I answer first?"
Lu Yanzheng's expression froze, then he chuckled and said, "Sorry, I was too impatient and forgot we have plenty of time."
"Yes, so, Your Highness, can you go and take a good shower now?" Jiang Qinyu looked him up and down with a helpless expression.
To be honest, Lu Yanzheng in front of me is really unkempt, not much better than a savage.
It wasn't that she disliked him; it was just that he wouldn't be comfortable doing this.
Lu Yanzheng froze upon hearing this, then coughed awkwardly, "Well, I was in such a hurry on the road that I didn't have time to take care of myself."
After saying that, he quickly went to the bathroom, which was connected to the small kitchen. As long as there was hot water in the large pot in the kitchen, he could use it anytime.
Jiang Qinyu smiled and took the luggage he had just brought in, thinking of unpacking it for him first.
A short while later, Lu Yanzheng came out after packing, and Jiang Qinyu had also finished packing his luggage.
"I don't know where you plan to put these things, you can tidy them up yourself." Jiang Qinyu pushed a pile of things on the table in front of him.
Lu Yanzheng glanced at it casually and said, "They're all for you. Don't you like them?"
He casually picked up a luminous pearl the size of an egg, and then looked at the other treasures he had taken from Emperor Jingqing's private treasury.
"For me?" Jiang Qinyu looked at the exquisite and expensive jewelry on the table with surprise, feeling a strange sensation in her heart.
She doesn't really like wearing jewelry, always feeling it's too flashy and impractical, and that it's better to use other things to solve specific problems.
Seeing her reaction, Lu Yanzheng guessed what she was thinking. He nodded and said, "Qin Shen said that men need to bring gifts for the women in their families when they return home. If you don't like them, I'll find something else. Take these and get rid of them."
Actually, he had specially chosen these items, thinking that Jiang Qinyu might like them, but who knew she wouldn't like them.
"Never mind, I'll keep it." Jiang Qinyu shook her head and reached out to put the item away.
After all, it was a rare gift from him, and its sentimental value surpassed anything else, so there was no need to return it.
The two were delayed for a while, but they managed to get to the dining hall in time for the meal. Chen and Old Man Lu were already there.
The family enjoyed a happy reunion dinner. Shufan and Pan'er were very perceptive and knew that Chen had something to say, so after dinner they took Jiang Qinyu for a walk in the village to digest their food.
Lu Yanzheng also wanted to go, but he noticed Chen's hesitation and held back.
"Ah Zheng..." Chen started to speak but didn't know what to say, so she looked to Old Man Lu for help.
Old Man Lu had thought things through these past few days, and seeing this, he immediately told Lu Yanzheng the whole story about his background, "...Although your mother and I have kept this from you for so many years, you are indeed not our biological son, so the village ancestral hall will no longer be separate!"
Because of this, he and Village Chief Li have not yet finalized the matter of opening a separate ancestral hall.
Now that he had told Lu Yanzheng, he felt a huge weight lifted off his shoulders.
After hearing what he said, Lu Yanzheng smiled and looked at Madam Chen and Old Man Lu, saying, "Father, Mother, I actually already knew about this."
"Huh?" Chen and Old Man Lu were stunned and stared at him.
Lu Yanzheng didn't want to explain too much; he wanted to go be with his wife. So he said, "Anyway, you two don't need to worry. No matter what, I will always be your son."
