Lu Guang walked over and said in a deep voice, "It's been done."
Lu Huan: "I know."
"Then you are still waiting here?"
"I came here to tell you something. Gao Jiarong has been trying to find a spy for me. Go and tell her that she doesn't have to worry about my marriage anymore. She can just be the general's wife."
Lu Guang spent a lot of time and effort to arrange his marriage, and he also had to use his connections to pave the way for Su Songqi's three incompetent sons. After he finished his work and finally returned to the general's mansion, he was assigned a job by his own son.
Lu Guang was so angry that he couldn't vent his anger and could only leave in anger.
…
Elsewhere, Su Qingci and Liu Jingru finally learned that Lu Guang had come to propose marriage on behalf of Lu Huan. Su Songqi asked the servants to carry all those big boxes to Su Qingci's yard.
Su Qingci and Liu Jingru stared in amazement as the servants carried the betrothal gift boxes one after another.
Liu Jingru pulled Su Qingci's hand hard, her eyes sparkling with joy, "That's good, my son finally found a good husband."
However, she couldn't help but feel puzzled. "I don't know what your father was thinking. He agreed to the Lu family's proposal so quickly."
Su Qingci hadn't expected Lu Huan to get things done so quickly, and was quite surprised. "When Lu Huan sent me back that day, he told me that I didn't need to worry about anything else, as long as I nodded and agreed, everything would be fine."
"But... I didn't expect him to be so fast."
Liu Jingru: "It seems that there is only one possibility."
Su Qian looked at her in surprise, "What's possible?"
"That means he has already prepared for this."
"Qingci, he's had his eye on you since the beginning. He's planned all this out in advance. Otherwise, how could he have gotten your father so quickly?"
Su Qingci's heart moved. Is this really the case?
"Your father is unreliable, so I'll have to personally oversee the follow-up matters. However...your father has already agreed, so I don't think he'll be involved in the follow-up matters anymore."
"I heard that Lu Huan stuffed him with more than a dozen beautiful Jiangnan actresses as concubines. He must be very busy lately. How could he have time to care about your marriage?"
Su Qingci was horrified: "What!? Then mother, you are..."
Liu Jingru patted her hands, reassuring her, "Mother is fine. Actually, I understand why Lu Huan did this."
"Over the years, I have been oppressed by that bitch Wang Miaoqing, and the power to manage the family was taken away by your father and handed over to her."
"She's been very successful these past few years, but she's not young anymore. Although that bastard Su Songqi has always been nice to her, if she finds someone younger and prettier than her, she'll be even more willing to serve and win her favor. Do you think your father still remembers this bitch?"
She suddenly felt a sense of relief, "I really want to see what she looks like after she falls out of favor."
Su Qingci looked at her worriedly, "But if this happens, won't Mother be even more miserable in the backyard?"
"Qingci, don't worry. As long as that bitch Wang Miaoqing isn't constantly targeting me, I can still live a pretty good life."
"Besides... I've long given up hope for your father. Lu Huan sent these young women to your father. Now that Wang Miaoqing has someone vying for his favor, she'll naturally stop targeting me."
"There are more than ten people. Even if she wants to fight, she probably won't have the energy. I can just sit back and watch the fight."
"This is the reason why Lu Huan sent these people. Qingci, don't blame him."
Liu Jingru breathed a sigh of relief. "With his intervention, my life has become more relaxed."
Su Qingci also held her hand tightly, "Mother, don't worry. Lu Huan said that he would protect both of us."
"As long as you are well, mother will be happy."
…
In the days that followed, Wang Miaoqing completely lost Su Songqi's favor, just as Liu Jingru had expected. She also made trouble many times. Su Songqi felt that she was disturbing him and ordered her to be confined to her home for half a month.
Because she had to take care of the trivial matters of Su Qingci and Lu Huan's marriage, the power of the family was returned to Liu Jingru.
Liu Jingru began to sort out Su Qingci's dowry, and whenever she had free time, she would jokingly tell Su Qingci about it.
Perhaps Lu Huan had indeed made sufficient preparations. Those tedious and complicated ritual processes such as the Three Books and Six Rites would normally take a long time to complete one by one, but now he had already completed more than half of them.
The remaining betrothal gifts continued to be delivered, and the amount was staggering. They piled up like a mountain and filled the entire yard, leaving almost no place to stay.
The wedding date was finally set on July 21st, an auspicious day that had been calculated.
Liu Jingru happily walked up to her with a pile of books and spread them out on the table one by one.
She said gently, "Here are two booklets specifically for designing and embroidering red veils. You can carefully choose which style you like and then carefully embroider it on your veil to accompany you on your grand wedding."
"As for the wedding attire, you don't have to worry about it. The man's family will definitely make proper arrangements and prepare it carefully."
Finally, Liu Jingru took out two other books with exquisite covers from her arms in a somewhat mysterious manner, but did not open them immediately for her to see.
Instead, she spoke earnestly, "Qingci, these two books are illustrated albums about the intimate affairs between husband and wife. You should carefully read and study them in your free time. It's really inconvenient for me to discuss this kind of thing with you."
"But when you get married and become a real woman, you will naturally understand the mystery. But before getting married, it is still necessary to understand the relevant knowledge, understand?"
After hearing this, Su Qingci nodded, not quite understanding.
After Liu Jingru left, she took a deep breath, mustered up the courage, and gently opened the book.
On the pages of the book, a man and a woman were lying naked on a couch, hugging each other tightly, without wearing any clothes.
Su Qingci just took a quick glance and quickly closed the book as if he was scalded.
Do I and Lu Huan have to do this too?
Thinking of this, I couldn't help but feel a little uneasy, nervous and shy.
Lu Huan...does he understand this?
I heard that before a man gets married, his family usually arranges for several maids to serve as his concubines to help them understand matters between men and women and avoid being unfamiliar on the wedding night.
In that case, Lu Huan might have had this kind of experience before?
What would Lu Huan, who is usually serious and stern, be like in bed?
As soon as this thought came to mind, Su Qingci's cheeks turned red instantly and his heartbeat became more rapid.
