Chapter 120 Parting
"I didn't." Su He tucked in the corner of the quilt and deliberately avoided looking at him.
"Then why don't you turn around?"
The two had been married for so long, but they seldom slept with their backs to each other. Even if they did, every midnight, Su He would turn around and climb onto his waist.
Lu Huaihe reached out and stroked her hair. The smooth hair passed gently through his fingers, leaving behind a fragrance.
He got on the bed with his clothes on and gently put his arms around Su He's slender waist.
Su He only felt her heart pounding, silently feeling the touch he brought, and somewhere in her heart was like a spring bud, wanting to emerge.
"Ah He, you must be well in the capital. If anyone dares to bully you, I will settle accounts with them one by one."
Su He lowered her eyes, thought about it, and placed her hand on his thick palm, and said softly: "With the eldest princess here, who will bully me?"
"There are times when mother can't take care of you. But Qingyun will stay by your side and protect you."
"Everything is stable in the capital, I don't need Qingyun, but you..."
Without saying anything else, Su He looked down at his hand and saw a token stuffed into it by Lu Huaihe.
It was his personal order.
"When necessary, you can also summon people from the Dali Temple."
Su He's eyelashes trembled, and she suddenly realized that everything was not that simple.
"Is the capital city...going to change?"
Then a faint sobbing was heard.
The separation of life and death in the previous life was so painful that Su He is still afraid of separation. He can no longer bear the heart-wrenching pain of being torn and pulled.
Lu Huaihe was filled with sympathy. He propped himself up, held her face with both hands, and gently touched her lower lip. He rubbed his fingers on her cold cheeks, and said hoarsely against her forehead, "Ahe, I will be back."
Even if I have to crawl, I have to crawl back inch by inch.
How could he abandon the woman he had dreamed of for so many years?
Su He held back her sobs, wiped away her tears, and stared at Lu Huaihe with her bright, watery eyes.
Her eyes slowly moved down, and her gaze lingered on his lips.
"Lu Yuan."
"Ok?"
Su He's cheeks were as red as the morning glow. She timidly leaned against his chest and said in a weak voice, "I want a child. Both sons and daughters are fine, as long as they are ours."
Lu Huaihe drooped his eyelashes and smiled softly, his voice was seductive and a little lazy: "My wife has given an order, how dare I disobey it?"
Su He's ears turned red again. She was dazzled by the charming atmosphere and turned her face away quickly.
But Lu Huaihe didn't allow her.
He grasped her chin with one hand, gently moved her forward, and leaned in to kiss her.
Su He could feel his hands wandering on her body, lingering on the position closest to her chest, his eyes filled with desire and giving.
The spring buds in my heart finally sprouted.
Neither of them could remember the time that night, they only knew that in the second half of the night, the first rain of early winter fell outside the window.
A rustling sound fell on the windowsill, and a cool breeze blew past, but the temperature in the room gradually rose.
The lanterns in the corridor swayed in the wind, and the light flickered and fell on the gauze curtains.
Su He bent her knees and gently embraced Kong Wu's strong body, embracing the faint pine scent on his body. She looked at the curtain in a daze and whispered softly.
Maybe it's because we realize that we're apart and there will be many days when we won't see each other.
Lu Huaihe spared no effort in giving again and again, and Su He just felt that her body was floating, as if she had lost all her strength.
It was not until the morning light illuminated the room and Su He's sweet dream was disturbed that he suddenly realized that it was already the next day.
Pei Xia entered the room to help with the washing and dressing, and saw Su He had already gotten up from the bed and was helping Lu Huaihe to dress.
"You didn't get enough rest last night, remember to take a nap later."
Su He felt the blush creeping up to her ears again. She responded softly and turned aside to get the hair crown to tie his hair.
After everything was packed and we had a simple breakfast at Yanyun Pavilion, it was time to set off.
A group of people had already been waiting outside Li Garden. Seeing that Lord Lu had not come out for a long time, they did not want to go in and urge him, so they could only ask Qingyun to help ask when they could set off.
Qingyun accused them of being tactless. It was already the day of separation, and the master and the lady should be affectionate and affectionate. Why were they rushing them?
Half an hour later, Lu Huaihe finally showed up.
Qingyun looked carefully at his tired eyes, unable to suppress his smile, and whispered, "Sir, were you tired last night?"
Lu Huaihe squinted at him and asked slowly, "Have you received your monthly allowance this month?"
Qingyun was shocked: "I can't keep it any longer! I still need to find a wife! You are so tender in my arms, but I still don't have a wife!"
He turned around to look inside Li Garden, but Su He was nowhere to be seen. "Why didn't Madam see you off?"
Lu Huaihe climbed onto the horse and adjusted the reins. "She doesn't like these scenes. You take good care of Ah He. When I return, I will buy you a house and marry you a wife."
"okay!"
At his command, the team started off.
Qingyun stood on the steps and watched the team go away before entering Li Garden to see Su He.
As soon as I turned around, I found her hiding behind the screen wall, her eyes slightly red, and she was in a bad mood.
Pei Xia made a gesture of silence behind him, and Qingyun did not dare to ask more questions.
When Su He turned around and went back to Qinfang Residence, Pei Xia said to Qingyun, "Madam frowned during breakfast. She didn't want to see you out of the city in person, crying and making you worry. She was afraid that they would be separated for a long time, so she couldn't help but want to see you off, so she had to watch secretly from behind the screen wall."
"Madam, you can't bear to leave me, sir."
"Of course I'd be reluctant! Since the wedding, my Lord has never said a harsh word to my Lady, and he always cares about her. Others say that my Lady is marrying above her station, but I think my Lord's love is stronger!"
Inside Qinfangju.
Su He took out Lu Huaihe's token from under the pillow, held it to her heart, closed her eyes and took a nap.
As soon as he woke up, Pei Xia brought him some nourishing ginseng soup, saying, "Before you leave, my lord, ask the servants to take good care of Madam. The temperature is dropping, and drinking some ginseng soup on such a cold day is the most nourishing thing."
When it comes to Lu Huaihe, Su He has no regrets.
Thinking about last night, I could clearly feel my cheeks burning.
She held the porcelain bowl and drank up all the ginseng soup, and her body immediately felt warm.
"Madam! Something happened at the Lu Mansion!"
Steward Lin had just returned from shopping outside and saw that the Lu Mansion was in a commotion, with people surrounding it all the time. It would have been fine if he hadn't asked about it, but if he had, it would have been a disaster!
"what happen?"
Su He wiped her mouth with a silk handkerchief and guessed something vaguely.
The words she whispered in Lu Yunqing's ear must have worked.
"Mrs. Lu from the Li family took the children of the Lu family to a farm, tied them to the tops of the pillars with ropes, and surrounded them with dry firewood, threatening to set them on fire!"
Pei Xia heard this and said, "Even if it's not true, it's just two pitiful lives. Even if Aunt Lu doesn't want to live, how can she harm the children?"
