"Qiao'er's kindness is so great that the Lu family cannot repay it."
Aunt Sun took the opportunity to say, "She is a smart person. If she doesn't agree to become the daughter of the Lu family, why not let Qing'er marry her?"
It was a huge surprise for the Lu family that Lu Yunzheng was still alive.
Originally, Lu Yunzheng's death was for the Lu family, to clear the grievances of County Magistrate Lu. However, County Magistrate Lu's grievances were not cleared, his family was still in jail, but Lu Yunzheng was beaten to death.
He was once Mrs. Lu's pride and the Lu family's proudest child.
Fengxin County was filled with legends about the eldest son of the Lu family. Not only was he beautiful, but he was already a juren before he even reached adulthood. If it weren't for his willfulness, he would have been an official in the capital now.
The head of the Lu family, one of the four major families in the capital, also praised him highly. He once said in a letter to Magistrate Lu that if Lu Yunzheng ranked among the top three, he would definitely recommend him for officialdom, and with the Lu family as a guarantor, he could even be appointed prime minister.
But such a brilliant and handsome young man was beaten to death because of the unjust case of County Magistrate Lu.
Heartache and regret have been plaguing the Lu family, causing them heartbreak.
But now, he is still alive.
Aunt Sun had long been interested in Liu Qiaoer, so she took the opportunity to ask Madam Lu to agree to the marriage.
But Liu Qiaoer still wanted to refuse.
The person she wants to marry is not Lu Yunqing.
The moment we were together was so short, half an hour passed in a flash, leaving us no time to say too much.
Liu Qiaoer distributed the clothes she made for them and gave them the food she brought. The last time Su Xueying came to the prison, she said that Madam Lu was in poor health and left two bottles of tonic pills.
Then he hurried away with the two children.
Lu Yunyang cried all the way back, and Liu Qiaoer held him and comforted him all the way.
When he got home, he was already tired.
When I pushed the door open, I saw Lu Yunzheng already sitting in a wheelchair and coming to the yard.
It was snowing lightly today, neither too heavy nor too light, and Lu Yunzheng's body was already covered with a thin layer of snow.
Liu Qiaoer didn't know how long he had been sitting here. She hurried back to the room and put Lu Yunyang on the kang. Then she came out and pushed Lu Yunzheng back to the house.
"Your Excellency and Madam are both in good spirits, but they are very thin. Aunt Sun is taking care of Madam, and the Second Young Master is also OK. The head of the prison has received your Excellency's favor, so it will be very convenient for you to visit them in the future."
Lu Yunxi put the lunch box back in the kitchen and ran in.
As soon as she came in, she lay in Lu Yunzheng's arms, sobbing silently.
"It's snowing today, which is a good time to eat hot pot. I'll make it for you."
Liu Qiaoer knew that the brother and sister had something to say, so she left tactfully.
It was a snowy day and not many people were eating noodles. Seeing that there was no one in the shop in front, Liu Qiaoer asked Liu Erniu to close the shop and hurried home before the snow got any heavier.
"Our room is cold, and grandma must be reluctant to let mom keep heating the kang, so she wants to keep her warm. Here are these two pieces of cloth to make new clothes for you and mom."
Before leaving, Liu Qiaoer stuffed a few taels of silver into Liu Erniu's pocket and told her not to let her grandmother know.
Liu Erniu responded, "You'd better leave it there. Grandma took all my monthly allowance and she comes to look through my things every few days. It's so annoying."
If she hadn't hidden the jewelry Lu Yunxi gave her in the rat hole, it would have been taken away by Geng.
Liu Qiao'er thought about it and nodded: "Okay, then I will save it for you and give it to you when you get married."
After closing the door of the shop outside, Liu Qiaoer braved the wind and snow to buy some mutton, pork, tofu, fish, etc.
The pork is chopped into stuffing and cooked into meatballs. The fish meat is cut into thin slices and cooked into fish balls.
There are not many vegetables here in winter, except cabbage and radish. After preparing the food, Liu Qiaoer moved the table with the hole to Lu Yunzheng's room.
An iron pot was placed on a small stove for boiling medicine and the medicine was stewing in the middle of the table.
As soon as the dishes were served, Qi Ze arrived.
After Pei Yuanshan left, Qi Ze came in a more open and aboveboard manner. He stopped climbing walls and learned to take side roads.
As soon as I came in, I saw Liu Qiaoer's strange behavior and was very curious.
"What are you doing? It smells so good."
"Hot pot, let's eat some together."
Seeing that there were meat and vegetables, Qi Ze didn't refuse.
He spoke a few words to Lu Yunzheng briefly, washed his hands, and sat down at the table.
There are not so many rules at Liu Qiaoer's place. Everyone sits around the table. However, Lu Yunzheng was injured and could not eat mutton, so Liu Qiaoer specially made a bowl of pork rib noodles for him.
The hot pot was almost ready and Lu Yunyang woke up.
It was snowing outside. Liu Qiaoer ate her first hot pot here and immediately felt refreshed: "It's still so delicious, delicious, delicious."
Qi Ze didn't expect that the mutton would be so tender after being hot pot, and he praised it repeatedly.
"I didn't expect Miss Qiao'er to be such a good cook. Whoever marries you in the future will be in for a treat."
Lu Yunyang, who was eating fish balls, interjected, "She is going to marry the second brother and become his sister-in-law."
Liu Qiaoer was embarrassed for a moment, and quickly glanced at Lu Yunzheng, frowning: "Eating can't stop your mouth, don't talk nonsense if it's not true."
She picked up another fish ball for Lu Yunyang, but Lu Yunyang tilted his head and asked again, "Do you want to be my sister instead of my second sister-in-law?"
Liu Qiaoer was speechless and stuffed the fish ball into Xiao Yunyang's mouth. Lu Yunxi laughed: "Look at him, his face is so round."
Liu Qiaoer looked carefully and saw that there was already a fish ball in Lu Yunyang's mouth. She stuffed another one into his mouth, and his two cheeks were stretched out, so that his small mouth could no longer chew.
She quickly used the bowl to catch it: "Spit it out, why are you eating so quickly?"
"It's delicious, I want to eat more." Children are a bit protective of food and greedy when it comes to delicious food.
Liu Qiaoer smiled and said, "If you like, I'll make it for you every day in the future."
Lu Yunzheng, who was sitting aside eating pork chop noodles, didn't know whether it was because of Liu Qiaoer's marriage or the aroma of the hot pot, but he suddenly felt that his noodles didn't taste as good anymore.
After taking two bites, he pushed the bowl away.
He stared at Liu Qiao'er and said in silence: "Yun Qing is an honest child, you..." Don't bully him...
Unexpectedly, before he could finish his words, Liu Qiaoer's face darkened and she confronted him.
"I won't marry him. Aunt Sun is just saying that. When they are released from prison, I will explain it to them. I am not a mean person who wants to repay a favor."
Lu Yunzheng originally wanted to persuade her to give up this idea. Lu Yunqing is smart, but he is honest and loyal. Liu Qiaoer's lively personality may not be suitable for him.
But Liu Qiaoer is the Lu family's benefactor, and their family proposed this marriage agreement obviously to repay the favor.
Hearing Liu Qiaoer say this, Lu Yunzheng felt a little upset.
"It's best if you know yourself. Write them all down as IOUs and I'll pay them back later."
Liu Qiaoer snorted coldly: "It's already several hundred taels. I'm afraid that even if I sell you, you won't be able to pay it back."
Lu Yunzheng choked and was about to speak when Xiao Yunyang spoke again.
"Sister Qiaoer, when I grow up, I will marry you."
Looking at the little kid's righteous expression, Liu Qiaoer laughed out of anger.
She pinched his chubby face and said, "Then you should eat well and grow up quickly."
