Chapter 369 - 369 Lucky Star

369 Lucky Star

Lu Ze didn’t answer Lin Suisui’s question directly. Instead, he explained tactfully, “Whether it’s the rules or not, don’t you think it’s more respectful for us to visit together?”

Lin Suisui didn’t think too much about it. After all, Lu Ze’s words made sense.

Most importantly, she was really happy that Lu Ze could come. Just as he had said, it was definitely better for her to visit with Lu Ze.

Lu Ze’s arrival made Mrs. Luo and the others both happy and nervous. After all, Lu Ze’s current status was worlds apart from that of Gu Erlang during their days in the refugee camp.

!!

When Lu Ze sensed their distance and nervousness, he said to Mrs. Luo and the others, “Mrs. Luo, don’t worry. No matter what happens now or in the future, you just have to treat me as Liu Niang’s husband. There’s no need to be so polite.”

Lu Ze’s words reassured Mrs. Luo and the others and the distance between them dwindled.

At dinner, in order to make it more relaxing to talk, Mrs. Luo divided them into two tables.

After a few rounds of drinking, the topic they talked about became much more casual. After a while, the topic shifted to the Fang family’s future arrangements.

“I’ll go out with my father to work. You don’t have to worry too much.” Old Master Fang had good woodworking in the village and could do masonry as well. He wanted to pass this skillset to his two sons, but his second son had never been interested in these things, so in the end, the person who inherited his mantle was his eldest son.

He and Old Master Fang had gone to the market in Cloud Mountain City today. There was also a place that introduced work to craftsmen like them. Although there was a commission to pay, there wasn’thing wrong with that if everything was legitimate.

“If we can’t find a suitable job, we’ll stay in the shop and help my mother and the others. Besides, we don’t have to think about this now. After all, the shop still needs to be renovated. Otherwise, we won’t be able to open it and accept customers.”

The eldest son of the Fang family had always had a good temper. When it came to his future, he also had his own plans and arrangements.

When the Fang family’s second son heard his brother’s words, he nodded and smiled heartily. “Then, when I’m on leave, I’ll come back and help our mother! After I earn money, I can buy a dowry for our sister!”

“I don’t want to!” Fang Rui’er, who was sitting in the room, blushed when she heard her second brother’s words through the door. She spat in embarrassment as she said to her second brother angrily, “Instead of worrying about me, why don’t you think about yourself first? You’re much older than me, but you’re still single!”

Fang Rui’er’s words were met with laughter from inside and outside the room. The atmosphere became more relaxed.

When Lin Suisui and Lu Ze left Mrs. Luo’s house, it was already very late. Lin Suisui was in a good mood today, so she drank two glasses of alcohol and was a little dizzy as Lu Ze brought her into the carriage. When the carriage started to move, she was still somewhat ditzy.

“Lu Ze, I’m so happy today.” She tugged at Lu Ze’s sleeve and looked at him with sparkling eyes. “Do you know that ever since I was young, the people around me have never had a good ending?”

After she burped, she seemed to have thought of something and looked at him with red eyes as she continued, “After that, when I was with my mentor, my mentor also…”

Sometimes, I feel that I’m not…”

“Nonsense.” Lu Ze reached out to cover Lin Suisui’s mouth with heartache and interrupted her nagging in a low voice as he pulled the little girl into his arms. He coaxed her gently, “You’re the best girl in the world. What is there not to like?

However, the world is unpredictable. There are many things that you and I can’t control or change. Didn’t I wake up from my coma after you married me?

It can be seen that you’re my lucky star!

So don’t let your imagination run wild.”

“But it was also because I married you that you were hunted down and had no choice but to leave the East Palace.” Lin Suisui muttered aggrievedly, “When I was at home, my mother and the others said that my nanny died because I was too stubborn.

“I’m really happy to see Mrs. Luo and the others doing well. If possible, I want all of you to be safe and sound forever!”

“Yes.” Lu Ze patted Lin Suisui’s back and his eyes were filled with heartache as he continued to coax her patiently, “That’s all in the past. Everything will be fine in the future.

Besides, you’re not entirely right. My departure from the East Palace wasn’t a disaster, but a blessing.

I’ve actually been planning to come to the north since a long time ago. Not only did you help me complete this arrangement, but you also cured the lingering poison that has tortured me for so long.

“In a sense, you’ve been protecting me.”

Lin Suisui didn’t say anything. When Lu Ze lowered his head after waiting for a while, he realized that the little girl had already fallen asleep while tugging at his lapel.

He didn’t disturb her again. Instead, he helped her change her position carefully so that she could sleep more comfortably in his arms. At the same time, he didn’t forget to instruct Su Qi, who was outside the window, to quickly arrange for someone to go back and inform the servant to prepare hangover soup.

Lin Suisui didn’t remember what had happened last night. When she woke up early in the morning, she felt a headache. After she sat up in a daze, she was shocked by the torn sleeve in her hand.

‘Well…’

“Your Highness, you’re awake?” After Bai Guo came in from outside, she happened to see Lin Suisui get up. She quickly went up to hang the drapery on the hook at the side for her. Then, she turned around and called Yin Qiao and the others in to help Lin Suishou wash up.

When she saw that Lin Suisui was still staring at the sleeve in her hand in a daze, she explained to her with a smile, “You drank too much last night. After you guys came back, Lu Ze fed you hangover soup and took care of you for the entire night. It wasn’t until Su Qi sent a message saying that something had happened to the Imperial City’s government office that he got up and left.

At that time, you were sleeping soundly while tugging at his sleeve. His Highness was afraid of waking you up, so he cut off his sleeve.”

Bai Guo’s explanation made Lin Suisui blush and she raised her hand to touch her burning cheek in embarrassment. Before she could explain further, she saw Bai Guo bring over the hangover soup. “This is hangover soup that was brewed early in the morning. Have a bowl. It can relieve your headache.”
