In just a moment, Lu Huan saw Su Qingci's earlobes turned red.
Although she pretended to be busy washing up and had no time to respond to him, Lu Huan knew very well in his heart that she must have heard what he had just said.
"The general likes to have someone attend him when he bathes. Wouldn't it be better to just have the maid in the mansion come?"
Lu Huan hugged Su Qingci's slender waist tightly and whispered softly in her ear, "That won't work, because... I am a chaste husband."
"I never get involved with other women." Lu Huan continued to add the following words.
After hearing these words, Su Qingci couldn't help but blush with shame. She struggled to break free from Lu Huan's embrace and said angrily, "I need to put on my makeup. Please wait outside, General."
Lu Huan, however, found a seat and sat down nonchalantly, then replied calmly, "I have nothing to do. I also like watching Madam put on her makeup."
"Xiao He, come in!"
When Xiao He heard Lu Huan calling her name, she quickly opened the door and walked into the room, bowing respectfully to the two people in the room.
Then Lu Huan said, "Put on makeup for the lady."
"yes."
…
During the entire makeup process, Lu Huan did not show any impatience.
His deep eyes were fixed on Su Qingci as if they were glued together, never leaving for a moment.
After putting on makeup, Lu Huan, like a magician, magically took out a gilded hairpin with a phoenix butterfly inlaid with gems and carefully inserted it into Su Qingci's bun.
"So beautiful." Lu Huan exclaimed sincerely.
Su Qingci gently stroked the hairpin, her eyes gleaming with surprise as she asked, "When did you buy it?"
Lu Huan raised the corner of his mouth slightly, revealing a mysterious smile, and said in a low voice: "Secret."
Su Qingci looked at him doubtfully, muttering to himself that his smile was strange.
However, since he has always been like this, quirky and often does some unexpected things, Su Qingci did not care too much about it. He put on the beautiful hairpin happily and walked out of the room.
Unlike previous days, Lu Huan did not choose to ride a horse today, but decided to travel in a carriage with Su Qingci.
After entering the carriage, Lu Huan gently pressed Su Qingci's head against his shoulder and said softly, "Didn't you say you were sleepy? Take a nap. I'll call you when we get there."
Su Qingci leaned obediently on his shoulder, closed her eyes, and rested leisurely, but murmured, "I'm not sleepy now."
Lu Huan turned his head and stared at her. Although she said she was not sleepy, her eyes were still closed. So he stopped talking for fear of disturbing her rest.
He quietly acted as a human pillow so that Su Qingci could lean on him with peace of mind and enjoy this peaceful time.
…
About a quarter of an hour later, the carriage slowly stopped and finally stopped steadily in front of the main gate of the Prime Minister's Mansion.
Lu Huan reached out and gently patted Su Qingci's shoulder.
"Qingci, we're here."
Su Qingci, who had originally sworn that he was not sleepy at all, now opened his eyes drowsily.
Apparently... she just fell asleep.
"Arrived so soon?"
Lu Huan turned his head and looked out through the car curtain blown by the wind, only to see Su Songqi and Liu Jing standing at the gate as expected, as if welcoming them back.
"Yes, my mother-in-law is waiting for us at the door."
Lu Huan said softly, "Get out of the car."
"good."
Lu Huan got off first, and then stood steadily beside the carriage. The moment Su Qingci got off the carriage, he quickly reached out and supported her.
If there weren't other people present, Su Qingci would have wanted to fly into Liu Jingru's warm embrace immediately.
It’s a pity that at this moment, the annoying Su Songqi is standing by.
The good upbringing she received since childhood did not allow her to do anything against the rules, so Su Qingci had no choice but to walk to the two of them in a dignified and steady manner.
She first performed a standard courtesy to the two of them and said softly, "Father, Mother."
Lu Huan followed closely behind, bowing demurely, "Father-in-law, mother-in-law."
Behind him stood a group of maids and servants, each carefully holding the return gift that Lu Huan had carefully prepared.
Seeing this, Su Songqi immediately put on the appearance of a kind and amiable father and said with a smile: "Oh, my dear son-in-law, we are all family, there is no need to be so polite."
"You guys brought back so many things in bags. It's really a waste of money."
After saying this, he warmly invited Lu Huan and others to come into the house and take a seat, and ordered the servants to quickly brew a pot of newly arrived Longjing tea to entertain them.
After the four of them took their seats in the main hall, Su Songqi continued to play the role of a loving father, and asked Lu Huan with concern, "My dear son-in-law, how has Qingci been behaving since marrying into your Lu family? Does she know how to behave and when to act? Has she caused you any trouble?"
Lu Huan smiled slightly after hearing this, gently put down the teacup in his hand, and replied sincerely, "Don't worry, father-in-law. Qingci has a gentle and virtuous personality and is very polite to others. Everyone in our Lu family likes her very much and loves her like our own daughter."
Hearing this, Su Songqi's heart finally settled down. A relieved smile appeared on his face, and he nodded in approval.
At this time, Lu Huan turned his gaze to Su Qingci beside him and suggested softly, "Qingci, today is the day you return home. Your mother-in-law must miss you too. Why don't you go to your boudoir to rest for a while and reminisce about the past."
