Yuan Yu took the divorce letter and money and personally escorted Jiang Birou out of the city. He found a place for her to settle down according to the imperial edict, which was considered as the most benevolent thing he could do to inform the Jiang family.
Inside the Yuan residence, Lu Shiqing saw Yuan Cixian standing aside in a sullen mood after she finished speaking, so he stepped forward and asked, "Yuan Cixian, this is my first time in your Yuan residence, and you didn't even invite me to sit down?"
What he said was not nonsense. After all, as Xu Shanshi, he could only go through the side door, and now was the first time he had crossed the threshold of the main door openly.
Yuan Cixian felt a little apologetic when she heard this. She had forgotten that he was still there.
She smiled awkwardly: "Where do you want to sit, in the central hall, in the flower hall, or in my boudoir?"
Lu Shiqing choked, knowing that she was joking on purpose because she was in a bad mood, and sighed, "After all, I am a fourth-rank official in the court, and the position of Zhongtang is the minimum." Although deep down in his heart, he would rather visit her boudoir.
Yuan Cixian led him to the central hall and asked along the way: "Is our house much better looking than your Lu Mansion?"
There were many strange and gaudy rockeries in the Yuan Mansion, and there were winding streams and canals around it. It was a very unsuitable place for Lu Shiqing to live.
As Xu Shan, he had not seen the scene in the front yard when he came, and he was trying to guess Yuan Cihan's emotions just now, so he really didn't pay attention. Upon hearing this, he looked around and suddenly felt uncomfortable all over. He was so uncomfortable that he even quickened his pace, as if he wanted to get to the central hall as soon as possible.
Yuan Cixian stopped him and said, "Walk slower. Now that my sister-in-law's problem is resolved, I won't go back to the Lu Mansion with you. I won't be able to see you every day from now on, so you have to let me look at you more often."
After she finished speaking, she sighed. She had finally caught up with Lu Shiqing's winter solstice holiday. She had originally wanted to take him to Mount Zhongnan to see the snow, but her brother really needed her company right now, so this love affair had to be put aside.
She knew that her brother felt more guilty towards Jiang Birou, but after all, they were husband and wife and childhood sweethearts, so how could they not have any feelings for each other
Lu Shiqing was mentally prepared for her decision, so he followed her this time, fearing that she would leave without saying goodbye after solving the problem. He stopped and turned back, but said stubbornly: "What's there to see?"
Yuan Cixian's eyes curved: "Everything about you looks good."
She said this as if she had seen everything.
Lu Shiqing finally slowed down his pace and listened to her explanation of everything: "You don't have to send my luggage back. I may have to visit your house someday. But it will be the twelfth lunar month in a few days, and my father will come to Chang'an soon. I have to be more obedient recently and can't come to you casually, otherwise he will be angry with me. By the way, remember to thank the old lady for me and say thank you for her care these days. It's just that something happened at home, and I will visit her again during the New Year."
Lu Shiqing frowned: "I know."
This girl is really good at creating momentum. It's just a move, but she has created a depressing atmosphere of separation and death. Now, even he feels that Yongxingfang and Shengyefang seem to be really far apart.
He was silent for a moment, then remembered Yuan Yu and suddenly asked, "You lied to Jiang just now, didn't you?"
Yuan Cixian was stunned for a moment, then understood: "Oh, you mean her coughing and wheezing."
If any doctor could diagnose that Jiang Birou's illness was acquired from her mother's womb, then the Yuan family would not have felt guilty for so long.
Doctor Yu did not say those words. She lied in order to make her brother get rid of the past and stop bearing the guilt for her. That's why Jiang Birou lost control of her emotions after hearing it.
She smiled and said, "It's harmless to tell a lie, just don't tell him."
Lu Shiqing sneered: "I'm not that close to him." He then asked, "What about the last sentence?"
When had she ever suffered ten or a hundred times as much
What Yuan Cihan was talking about was naturally the previous life in the dream that she had no memory of. She smiled when she heard it and said, "I haven't suffered any hardship. I just wanted to show off my strength. What, are you feeling sorry for me?" She turned her head to look at him.
Lu Shiqing said calmly, "No."
She stopped and pointed at his frowning brows: "You still say no, then why are you frowning?"
Lu Shiqing also stopped and said, "Think about whether the Jiang family has any backup plan."
Yuan Cixian was stunned: "Oh, you are worried about Jiang Birou's curse." She seemed to find it very funny, "The curse is the most incompetent trick used by the most incompetent person in the world. Do you believe that kind of nonsense?"
Lu Shiqing curled the corners of his mouth, said nothing, and continued walking forward.
He certainly didn't care about the curse.
But the curse was on her, so he had to try to believe it, even if it was only a one in ten thousand chance.

After Lu Shiqing left, Yuan Cixian stayed at the mansion obediently for a while, hanging around Yuan Yu every day, and would not stop until she made him laugh eighty times a day.
After the Lesser Cold, Chang'an had several snowfalls in a row. The brother and sister made snow horses at the gate of Yuan Mansion, changing the pattern every day until the Greater Cold. The weather was so cold that water turned to ice and their breath turned to frost. The two of them could no longer play and stayed in the warm home all day.
One day in the last ten days of the twelfth lunar month, news came from the court that Jiang Siqing had been thrown into prison.
Yuan Cixian had been thinking about this matter for a while.
At the end of the year, near the New Year, Prince Ping went to the capital according to the regulations, and just arrived in Chang'an a few days ago. I think Lu Shiqing exposed the matter of Lingnan Mine at this time, firstly to overthrow Jiang Siqing, and secondly to catch Prince Ping off guard.
This was what he called the best time to kill two birds with one stone.
There was no movement from Prince Ping at the moment, but it was obvious that Jiang Min had no chance to succeed. The court officials all had their own candidates for the crown prince, which was not a big deal, but Jiang Min made a mistake by involving military weapons, which were the most taboo for the superiors. Of course, Emperor Huining was furious.
Yuan Cixian estimated that even if Jiang Min was not sentenced to death, he would inevitably be demoted and exiled. The Jiang family would naturally have to move out of Chang'an and stay away from the political center.
Seeing that the fate of the Jiang family was completely different from that in her previous life, she no longer dared to doubt that Lu Shiqing would achieve nothing because of his obsession with her beauty.
With her, a treasure who is very good at dreaming, he is like a tiger with wings! Today he dreamed of "Lingnan", and tomorrow he will dream of mountains and rivers, the south of the sky and the south of the earth. He will definitely hit whatever she points to.
Yuan Cixian hadn't seen Lu Shiqing for nearly a month. In the evening when she received the news, she was so excited that she wanted to thank him in person, so she asked her brother when her father and mother would arrive.
The King and his wife of Southern Yunnan had set out for the capital more than 20 days ago, so it would only take two days for them to arrive in Chang'an. Yuan Yu calculated and told her that the earliest possible time would be tomorrow.
Although Yuan Yizhi dotes on his daughter, he is very strict with her when it comes to matters between men and women. The story of Yuan Cixian and Lu Shiqing has already spread all over the country. Although she was prepared to be punished by her father, she didn't expect to be caught the day before. She listened to her brother's words and went to Lu's house with peace of mind.
It was getting dark when Yuan Cixian left. When the carriage rolled through the light snow and reached Yongxingfang, it was already dark. She asked the servants at the gate of Lu's mansion and learned that Lu Shiqing had not returned home yet.
The servant asked her to wait inside, but she refused out of embarrassment. Visiting at this hour was clearly for free food and drink, and she only wanted to see Lu Shiqing once, and didn't want to bother Xuan.
The road was covered with a thin layer of white snow, and the lanterns hanging in front of the Lu Mansion made it bright. Yuan Cixian stood waiting for a while wrapped in a fur coat, feeling a little cold. Just as she was about to move to avoid the wind, she saw a carriage coming from the intersection. From a distance, she saw that the driver was Zhao Shu.
She walked down the bluestone steps, leaned over to look, and saw the carriage suddenly speed up and then stop in front of her.
Lu Shiqing lifted the curtain and frowned, "It's so cold, why are you coming to my Lu Mansion to be a door god?"
It's been so long since we last saw each other, yet you're so fierce when we meet.
Yuan Cixian muttered "yes", and then seemed unwilling to be treated coldly by him. She suddenly laughed, spread her hands and said, "The door god is a little cold, you warm him up."
Lu Shiqing choked, lowered his eyes and looked at her snow-white palm. He was hesitating secretly, but she grabbed it and used it as a stove. She rubbed his hand desperately, as if trying to warm herself up.
He laughed for a moment, held her hand in return, pulled her closer to him, then lowered his head and blew air into her palm.
The warm and moist touch made Yuan Cixian pause slightly, and her whole body trembled and felt numb.
She secretly calmed herself down and looked at his serious expression. The smile gradually spread from the corner of her eyes to the end of her eyes until it formed an arc shaped like peach petals.
Just at this moment, a carriage came speeding through the dark intersection and made an emergency stop at Lu Mansion.
The two men who were holding hands were stunned, and the next moment they saw a burly and strong middle-aged man take a step forward and walk towards them angrily.
Yuan Cixian was shocked and pulled her hand out of Lu Shiqing's palm, stuttering: "Ah... Dad, why are you here..."
Lu Shiqing sighed inwardly, and said calmly, "Your Highness the King of Southern Yunnan."
Yuan Yizhi's face was filled with murderous aura, his face was colder than snow, he sneered, glanced at him, and asked Yuan Cixian first: "Do you still have me as your father in your heart?"
Yuan Cixian frowned, hugged his arm and said in a tender voice: "Of course there is! It's very big, very big."
He straightened the sword at his waist, ignored her, and said to Lu Shiqing, "Minister Lu, can you please excuse me for a moment?"
Yuan Cixian stuttered and secretly glanced at Lu Shiqing, indicating that he should not respond and escape quickly.
Unexpectedly, he didn't seem to understand, and stretched out his hand towards the door, saying with a smile, "Please come in."
Wow, this is like inviting a wolf into the house. He doesn't want any arms or legs anymore.
Seeing Yuan Yizhi was about to leave, Yuan Cixian tried hard to pull him back: "Father, you must have come a long way and it must have been hard for you. My brother and I have prepared a welcoming banquet for you and mother. Let's go home quickly."
Yuan Yi pushed her hand away, snorted coldly, and said with his hand on his sword: "You go back first. Father believes that Minister Lu has also prepared a welcoming banquet for me."
Yuan Cixian was about to cry: "You are not going to drink his blood..."
Lu Shiqing looked helpless. Just as he was about to tell Yuan Cixian to go back without worry, he saw a woman in a snow-white cloak stepping out of the carriage in front of him. She walked towards him and said softly, "Yaoyao, be obedient and go back with your mother."
Yuan Cixian looked back and called Feng "Mother", then pursed her lips and hesitated for a while, and told Yuan Yizhi: "Well, father, please show mercy, don't let any blood fall..."
Yuan Yi ignored her and strode into the Lu Mansion.
Lu Shiqing slowed down a step, nodded slightly to Feng as a sign of courtesy, then followed her. He called Yuan Yi to the main hall and ordered the servants to serve hot tea.
Yuan Yizhi waved his hand and refused: "I don't want tea. Minister Lu, let's get straight to the point."
"Okay." He pulled the corner of his mouth and asked, "Do you want to speak first, or does Lu want to speak first?"
Yuan Yizhi just extended his hand, motioning him to come in.
"Then I won't keep you in suspense." Lu Shiqing smiled, "Today, there is a man named Lu from Luoyang, who is 22 years old, unmarried, and has no concubines. He wants to ask you to marry the Princess of Lancang County. He is willing to live in harmony with her and live together for a hundred years."
