They can't see each other and can only ride in a carriage. Therefore, the two of them can only be in the same carriage.
Qi Qiu didn't know the contract between the two of them, so he sat outside with the coachman to avoid suspicion.
Chu Yunli felt quite comfortable when the two of them were alone. After all, she had experienced so much, and getting along with a man in neat clothes was nothing at all.
But Lu Hainan was different. He had been frail since he was a child. The women around him were his mother and his cousin, and neither of them were outsiders to him... In front of him was a charming and charming woman. He was so embarrassed that he didn't know where to put his hands and feet.
After Chu Yunli got on the carriage, she closed her eyes and rested, thinking of something to say.
Lu Hainan asked: "Did you sleep well? Did you recognize the bed?"
Except for the wedding night, the two of them slept separately. Chu Yunli said casually: "I am weak, and I will tell you the truth. When I learned that I was going to marry you, I ran to beg my mother and knelt in the main courtyard all day and night.
, I knelt so hard that my knees ached, and finally I fainted and it was over.”
Lu Hainan ignored the discomfort in his heart and forced a smile: "It's understandable. After all, I was bedridden at that time, and my condition was getting worse. The wedding date was set so close... At first glance, it seemed that I was here to celebrate the occasion.
, you are the pampered daughter of the Duke’s family, you are wronged to marry into the Lu family, and it is normal for you not to want to."
"What I want is not your understanding, but I want to say that I am not favored in the house. Some people care about my life and death." Chu Yunli raised her eyes and looked at him: "As my husband, you have been ignored for a long time after returning to the house.
It’s normal. Don’t take it too seriously. Anyway, they don’t want to see me and they won’t come back a few times throughout the year.”
At this point, she raised her eyebrows and smiled: "I don't know how long our couple can last. Just treat it as a guest who is not welcomed by the host. Don't worry, I won't stay. I will leave after lunch."
Return."
Lu Hainan was speechless for a long time: "Don't feel bad, not everyone in this world is destined to have parents."
"I have recognized the truth a long time ago, and I won't feel uncomfortable." Chu Yunli closed his eyes again: "Not every son-in-law of the Duke's Mansion is valued by others. I'm afraid you won't be able to accept your situation for a while, so I reminded you first
You, let you be prepared."
Next, there is nothing all the way.
The central gate of the Duke's Mansion was opened today to welcome his son-in-law.
It's not that the Duke's office values Lu Hainan, but they don't talk about these obvious things. The concierge is particularly respectful, and the bright smile on the face of the housekeeper who greets guests is something Deng Ruyu has never seen in the past ten years.
of.
"Girl, the Duke and his wife have been waiting for you for a long time. They have been urging the servants for a long time. The prince specially asked for leave today and is currently in the main courtyard."
After saying that, he looked at Lu Hainan again: "Uncle, please come quickly."
Lu Hainan grew up hearing his mother talk about the glory of the General's Mansion, but after hearing it too much, it was not as good as seeing it with his own eyes. This was the first time he saw the real noble manor, and his eyes were a little weak for a moment. He was afraid of being laughed at.
I still have to try to pretend to be calm.
The two newlyweds were not too far apart. He whispered: "Fang, please think about it. You are not neglecting you and me."
Chu Yunli looked sideways at him: "Who doesn't know how to do superficial things? You will know in a moment."
Said, the two entered the main courtyard.
The Duke looked at the two people who walked in. Although the young man was a little thinner, his daughter was also weak. Both of them had good looks. The boy was handsome and the girl was pretty. They looked like a perfect couple.
It was good that Lu Hainan was not about to die as rumored. He repeatedly ordered: "Quickly watch the tea."
Chu Yunli stepped forward and saluted.
Lu Hainan bowed his hands and said, "I have met my father-in-law and mother-in-law."
The Duke of Guo thought that he had a good temperament and good manners, and his eyebrows and smile were deeper: "Get up quickly, no need to be polite. We are all a family. We will come and go often in the future, so don't be polite to us."
Lu Hainan was really flattered by such enthusiasm.
At this moment, he suddenly understood why his mother wanted to prevent his cousin from marrying him. No matter how the Duke of Guo thought about him in his heart, at least he had to respect him on the face of it.
Being a member of the family means that this kind of politeness shown on his face will benefit him and the Lu family a lot.
Compared to the Duke's warm approach, Luo Shi was a little colder: "The meal is served, let's eat first."
Normally, guests would be seen off after a meal, so Lu Hainan immediately noticed something was wrong.
Even though he was staying in the yard to recuperate and didn't go out for leisure, he also heard that on the day when the newlywed bride returned home, she would spend some time with her biological mother in private after meeting her family... Last night, her mother came to inform him of these procedures in advance, so that
Don't make a fuss when husband and wife are separated.
As a result, Aunt Sun was nestled in the corner, watching them silently weeping, even saying hello.
Lu Hainan took a thorough look at the woman in red beside him and saw her cold expression. He did not feel dissatisfied with this, nor was he touched by Aunt Sun's tearful look in the corner. A feeling of pity suddenly rose in his heart.
, I don’t know how this mother and daughter have been ignored in the past years and become so accustomed to it.
His heart moved, and he raised his hands to Auntie Sun in the corner and bowed deeply: "I have met Auntie Sun."
The attitude is respectful, no less respectful than when facing the Duke and his wife.
Luo Shi's eyes darkened and he looked at Aunt Sun.
Aunt Sun waved her hands hurriedly: "Farewell." She was not from a high family background. She worked as a maid after entering the Luo Mansion, and then as a maidservant. She had always learned the rules carefully, and she was very embarrassed at this time. Such behavior in this normal time
There is something out of place in the room.
Lu Hainan suddenly felt a little regretful. His salute exposed Aunt Sun's embarrassment and panic. He was able to give Deng Ruyu a face without saying anything, but instead caused her aunt to be laughed at.
He wanted to say something to make up for it, but someone tugged his sleeve: "Let's go."
Because it was Aunt Sun's daughter who came back, she had to be present. Luo Shi even smiled: "This is the first time that Auntie has served with the master. It shows that it is very important to have a filial daughter."
Once again, he deliberately pointed out the identity of Deng Ruyu's concubine in front of such a person. Chu Yunli did not panic, but also thanked his parents for their kindness in fear. His face remained as usual, and he raised his hand to serve soup to Aunt Sun: "Auntie, I want to drink it."
,A rare opportunity."
She said it calmly. Luo Shi originally thought that she would be embarrassed and embarrassed, but when he saw Deng Ruyu's expression was as usual, he felt like he had punched the cotton.
Deng Ruyue smiled and said: "Second sister, how have you been at the Lu family these two days?" She said, pointing to the dishes in front of her, and said enthusiastically: "Send these fresh shrimps to the second sister after leaving the Duke's Mansion.
, I’m afraid it’s hard to eat. Not to mention it’s expensive, and you may not be able to buy it if you have money.”
The maid acted immediately. Lu Hainan saw the contempt for Deng Ruyu in Deng Ruyue's tone, and immediately declined: "Three sisters should eat it, these shrimps... The Lu family has a merchant ship that specializes in transporting sea goods, and they are most in need of these things, which are even more rare.
We have them all, but we have a stomachache after eating them." He looked at the Duke and said, "My father-in-law can ask the steward of the palace to go to the Lu family to get them, so there is no need to go out and buy them."
Deng Ruyue was furious and said angrily: "Second sister, does it feel good to have someone to protect you? I also want my husband to..."
"Don't be ashamed." Chu Yunli interrupted her: "Although your brother-in-law is not an outsider, you should be more careful and don't let others think that the girls in our Duke's mansion are still married and put their husbands on the list at every turn.
Speaking of things, people here have mixed opinions. It would be a shame to spread the word about someone who hates getting married."
With a stern tone, Deng Ruyue's expression changed instantly.
Of the three girls in the house, the two of them cannot be compared with Deng Jiahua, who is the direct descendant. But among the two, she has always been the most favored. Deng Ruyu is like a little pitiful person who dare not compete with her. But she is determined
After getting married, Deng Ruyu changed like crazy. Not only did she hit her, but now she dared to give her face in front of such a person.
Who gave her the courage?
Deng Ruyue turned her head and looked at Luo Shi, aggrieved: "Mother, what can I say?"
Luo Shi didn't even raise his head: "I won't interfere in the matter between you sisters. Otherwise, you should say that I am partial."
Chu Yunli was disdainful, and Luo Shi's partiality had been concealed before. To be able to say such a thing, he was really thick-skinned.
Deng Ruyue lowered her eyes: "I know that the second sister must be angry because she missed her cousin from the Sun family and couldn't see that I was about to marry him." She sighed: "I can understand the second sister's mood, and I won't take it to heart.
"
Lu Hainan looked surprised.
It's obvious that he doesn't know about this yet.
Chu Yunli looked sideways at him: "I forgot to tell you that before I married you, the Sun family and I had made a marriage contract several years ago."
Lu Hainan opened his mouth: "Then why..."
Chu Yunli smiled: "As for why it became like this, I have to ask my mother."
The Duke of Guo's face looked very ugly. If we discuss this matter in detail, it is indeed unfair that they were treated unfairly. Therefore, he did not want anyone to mention this matter, no matter whether he was in front of him or behind him. But Deng Ruyu just said in front of such a person, Lu
Hainan looked surprised again, obviously unaware of this before. He suddenly became angry: "Ruyu!"
Chu Yunli looked sideways at him: "Father, I didn't bring up the matter. But since Third Sister said it, I have to explain it clearly to my husband. Otherwise, there may be some rift between us husband and wife."
Luo Shi frowned: "Hainan is not this person."
"Mom actually knows him better than I do?" Chu Yunli looked surprised: "If I remember wrongly, you have all met before today."
Luo Shi: "..."
"Ruyu, no matter who you were engaged to in the past and how many years you have been engaged, you are now the daughter-in-law of the Lu family. Now that you are married, you should live a good life with your husband and stop thinking about the past. Don't let me and the country
My father-in-law is worried about you."
"I mentioned it." Chu Yunli looked puzzled: "I remember my identity, and I want to renew my relationship with my cousin from the Sun family." She was a little irritated: "That's how it is when I was young. No matter what happens, it will be mine in the end.
Wrong, I’m the one who explained it.”
She waved her hand: "Fine, whatever Zhan Yue says is right. I'm just unhappy because she's about to marry her cousin, so I deliberately target her!" Finally, she looked at Deng Ruyue: "Give me back to the door.
A happy event has turned into a banquet of criticism for me from my generation, are you satisfied?"
Everyone came to their senses and realized, yes, today is Deng Ruyu's homecoming banquet.
For every newlywed, it is her mother's family's duty to give her daughter a face today. No matter what happens, she should not reprimand her daughter today. If the new father-in-law takes it seriously, how can the newlywed mother return to her husband's house and be happy?
Have a good time?
