Lu Yunxi smiled and said, "When you grow up, Sister Qiao'er will be old and married long ago. Sister Qiao'er will definitely marry the best person in the world."
Liu Qiao'er also picked up a fish ball for Lu Yunxi: "I'll borrow your good words. If I want to marry, I'll marry the best."
Qi Ze, who had been eating silently, suddenly raised his head.
"Qiao'er doesn't want to marry the young master, but the young master already has someone in his heart."
With a "bang", Liu Qiaoer's hand shook, and the spoon she used to feed Lu Yunyang fell to the ground with a crisp sound.
Liu Qiaoer's face tightened and she quickly picked it up and rinsed it in the tea bowl beside her.
"Are you talking about Miss Su? Hasn't she already broken off the engagement?"
Qi Ze laughed twice and said, "How could it be her? It must be..."
"Aze." Lu Yunzheng stopped Qi Ze before he could finish his words and said, "If you are full, go contact Ahao and you two can go to the capital."
"Okay." With a new task, Qi Ze stopped eating, finished all the food in the bowl in one breath, wiped his mouth, stood up and ran out quickly.
The room was suddenly quiet and the only sound that could be heard was the bubbling sound of the stew in the pot.
Liu Qiaoer silently took a bite of the food and said, "Are you going to send the evidence to the Lu family in Beijing?"
Lu Yunzheng let out a breath slowly. She was really smart.
"Yes, I made two copies, they are still with me. The other one was given to the Lu family. Now we can only rely on them."
"If that's the case, why didn't you give it directly to the Lu family?"
Lu Yunzheng: “…”
"Did you agree to any difficult conditions from them?"
Lu Yunzheng: "Father wants to be a loyal minister, but the Lu family supports a weak and incompetent prince."
It turns out that they are on different sides.
When the princes of the imperial court compete for the throne, they usually try to win over the aristocratic families. As the Lu family is a prominent family in the capital, it is normal for them to be won over.
At that time, Lu Yunzheng was young and could not stand the factionalism and abuse of power in the court. Now that his father was framed, he was also dragged into it.
Liu Qiaoer: "In this world, the strong make the rules, and the weak follow them. If you don't want to be controlled by others, just make yourself stronger. You don't have to worry about it."
In fact, when Lu Yunzheng came back from the capital and was punished to kneel in the ancestral hall, Liu Qiaoer wanted to persuade him in this way, but her status was humble at the time, and he might not listen to her advice.
Today, everyone in modern times understands this truth, but Lu Yunzheng seemed to have only understood it after going through some hardships.
The aroma of the hot pot is really mouth-watering.
Lu Yunzheng turned his wheelchair to the table and stared at the hot pot for a long time.
It was Lu Yunxi who took a bite of the meat from her bowl and gave it to him: "Sister Qiao'er said you can't eat mutton, the wound will swell. This is pork, it's also very fragrant."
The aroma of meat mixed with the rich taste of sesame leaves a lingering taste on your lips and teeth.
Lu Yunzheng just took a bite and turned back.
"It's delicious. You can't eat too much at night. It's hard to digest. Later, you two recite the lesson to me."
After hearing what Lu Yunzheng said, the two children behaved very well and stopped eating.
Liu Qiaoer cleared the dishes and chopped up the remaining vegetables, added them to the stuffing, and made dumplings to eat tomorrow.
A new round of chopping stuffing and kneading the dough begins.
But for some reason today, Liu Qiaoer stayed in the kitchen and didn't want to see Lu Yunzheng.
Everything needed for tomorrow is ready.
Liu Qiaoer boiled some hot water to wash the two children and coaxed them to sleep. As usual, she would go back to sleep after washing them.
But today, Liu Qiaoer just lay in the wooden barrel. The water had turned cold and she didn't want to get up. She felt lazy all over and suddenly she felt weak and had no energy at all.
Qi Ze's voice kept lingering in my mind: "The eldest master has someone in his heart..."
Who is that person
It definitely wasn’t Su Xueying. If it was her, Lu Yunzheng wouldn’t have watched Su Xueying being taken away by another man.
Could she be a woman from the capital
Then why didn’t Lu Yunzheng take the initiative to pursue her
Yes, he was already engaged at that time. According to the normal thinking of the ancients, this feeling should have been buried deep in his heart.
It happened that something happened to the Lu family, and Su Xueying thought he was dead, so the marriage was invalid.
Therefore, Lu Yunzheng actually allowed Su Xueying to break off the engagement. He was still alive, but he never thought of telling his fiancée. This is actually not common sense.
The only explanation is that Lu Yunzheng is eager to cancel the marriage so that he can pursue his sweetheart without an engagement.
No wonder, no wonder.
Su Xueying is already very beautiful, so the woman he likes must be stunningly beautiful.
Liu Qiaoer took out a mirror from the space and looked at herself.
Unfortunately, the original body that traveled through time had a very ordinary appearance and a not-so-good figure. If it were in modern times, with her skillful hands and the help of various cosmetics, she would be able to turn decay into magic.
But it’s not possible now. He has already seen her bare face and is afraid that he only thinks she is a maid.
Liu Qiaoer suddenly wanted to go back. In the end times, she could boldly say whoever she liked. Even if the other party disagreed, she could let go without any hesitation.
But here, she had a hundred reasons to convince herself not to be too frivolous so as not to be looked down upon.
In this world, she is not a strong person, she is just a passer-by, she can only abide by the rules.
An unprecedented depression attacked her, and she felt complicated and lamented continuously.
Suddenly, she heard a "click" and hurriedly pulled a bath towel to cover the tub.
"Who's there?" The crossbow in his hand was ready to fire.
"It's me."
It turned out to be Lu Yunzheng.
He came out of the wooden barrel, put on a long coat, and came to the yard. He saw Lu Yunzheng had arrived in the yard at some point.
"I was so tired that I fell asleep while taking a shower. Why aren't you sleeping yet?"
It was still snowing outside, and Lu Yunzheng's body was covered with a thin layer of snow.
"Waiting for you." Lu Yunzheng's black and white eyes stared at Liu Qiaoer.
He was used to her lying beside him, and he couldn't sleep without her.
Liu Qiaoer touched his forehead, which was cold, and pushed Lu Yunzheng into the house.
"It's getting late, go to bed."
Liu Qiaoer was exceptionally quiet tonight, which made Lu Yunzheng, who was used to the sound of her voice, suddenly feel a little uncomfortable.
Lu Yunzheng lay quietly in bed, listening to Liu Qiaoer's breathing. She couldn't sleep, and he couldn't sleep either.
It was strange. In the past, when Liu Qiaoer couldn't sleep, she would toss and turn on the kang like a pancake. When she couldn't bear it any longer, she would pour out all her grievances to him.
After talking for a while and figuring it out, he fell asleep.
But today, although Liu Qiaoer didn't fall asleep, she lay there quietly with her back to him and said nothing, which made him a little worried.
Liu Qiaoer was worried and couldn't sleep, but she still got up on time in the early morning.
Steam buns, make breakfast, and boil medicine for him.
It was snowing outside, so not many people were working, and not many people were buying buns.
Just as Lu Yunzheng had been drowsy all night and had just closed his eyes for a while, he heard a quarrel outside.
"You haven't married yet. Everything belongs to the Liu family. You can enjoy life in the city by selling buns while your grandmother farms at home. You are such a filial granddaughter."
"That's right. You haven't married yet. Every penny you earn belongs to the Liu family. It's shameless for a grown-up girl to show up in public all day. From now on, let your aunt run this bun shop."
