The Scum Gong’s Redemption Manual (Quick Transmigration) 69p2

Chapter 69 p2

Although Lu’s mother had only been in the capital for a short time, she had already gotten used to this luxurious life. The food and clothing were all the best, and with a single call, a maid would come up respectfully. She was naturally unwilling to go back. But if she were to bow her head just like that, she was also unwilling in her heart.

She couldn’t help but say, “According to you, we have to serve him and can’t say or scold him? How can there be such a thing? You… can’t you just divorce him? In any case, he’s that stupid marquis. It’s not difficult to find another one, is it?”

Lu Ze looked at her and said flatly, “You have worked hard to raise me, Mother. I should naturally respect your wishes. But if you really want us to divorce, then we can’t live in this mansion anymore. With my monthly salary, I can only find a small courtyard on the outskirts of the city that is less than half the size of our old house, and there will be no more maids and servants to serve us. Oh, that’s right, and I also have to spend money on drinking and banquets with my colleagues every day. I will have to be frugal every day. Can you bear such a life, Mother?”

Lu’s mother stammered and didn’t speak.

Lu Ze just lowered his head and said, “I am incompetent. If you want to blame me, then blame me, Mother.”

Lu’s mother glanced at him, her expression troubled. This was her only son. How could she bear to hit or scold him?

She hesitated for a long time. “Then… then, if it really can’t be helped, then… then let’s just leave it like this.”

“Didn’t you also say that the Marquis is quite good to you?”

Hearing this, Lu Ze let out a heavy sigh.

Lu’s mother panicked. “What’s wrong, what’s wrong?”

Lu Ze glanced at Xu Yun, who was standing on the side, at a loss, and didn’t speak.

Lu’s mother instantly understood. “I don’t have any other thoughts now. It’s just that I’m lonely here by myself. Can’t you let your cousin accompany me?”

Xu Yun also quickly cried out, “Cousin, Yun’er doesn’t ask to serve you, but only asks to be able to accompany my aunt. Cousin…”

Lu Ze said, “It would naturally be fine in the past. But since you’ve already said such words, I’m afraid the Marquis will have a grudge…”

Lu’s mother couldn’t help but say, “Then what should I do? Yun’er is a girl. I can’t let her go back alone, can I?”

Hearing this, Xu Yun’s face turned a little pale. She fell to her knees at Lu’s mother’s feet and cried out, “Aunt…”

Lu’s mother’s face was also troubled. Seeing this, Lu Ze said, “What are you talking about, Mother? When I was young, my uncle also helped our family. How can I let my cousin go back alone now? I was thinking that my cousin is already of age. If my uncle doesn’t mind, why don’t we find a good marriage for her here? It can also be considered as repaying my uncle and aunt for their care for so many years.”

Lu’s mother hesitated for a moment, then lowered her head and asked, “Yun’er, what do you think?”

Xu Yun looked at Lu Ze with a sorrowful look. “For so many years, my feelings for you, cousin, do you really not know?”

Lu Ze’s expression did not change. “I only see you as a younger sister. How can I have any other thoughts for you?”

He paused and said, “If you are not willing, I will ask the Marquis to send a few soldiers to send you back to Xiangning. I will also give you some silver as a dowry.”

Xu Yun’s face turned pale, and her body went limp on the ground. After a long silence, she finally said, “Yun’er… is willing.”

She looked up at Lu Ze, her eyes filled with tears. “I just wish to be able to stay in the capital, to be able to stay by my aunt’s side and be filial… and to be able to see you from afar.”

“Silly child…” Lu’s mother also couldn’t help but look at Lu Ze with a soft heart. “In that case, you should also look around to see if there are any suitable young men, or… you can have that Marquis also pay more attention…”

Lu’s mother’s words were a little difficult. She thought that she had already made enough concessions, but she didn’t expect Lu Ze to be in a difficult position when he heard this. “I will naturally do my best, but I am not familiar with this place. This matter still has to rely on the Marquis, but…” He shook his head. “I’m afraid it will be difficult.”

Lu’s mother’s eyelids twitched. “What? Is he not even willing to do such a small thing?”

Lu Ze looked at her. “The Marquis has already returned to the Marquis’s mansion. The guards in the mansion are strict, and even I can’t get in easily.”

Lu’s mother was furious. “I just said a few words… how can he be so angry?”

Lu Ze sighed. “If we don’t appease the Marquis, I’m afraid…”

Before he could finish, Lu’s mother had already thought of countless bad results. She hesitated and said, “Then you should go and coax him more, say some nice words…”

“I’m afraid it’s not enough.” Lu Ze looked at her. “The one who tied the bell has to be the one to untie it. This matter, I’m afraid it still has to be you who apologizes to him, Mother.”

“What?” Lu’s mother exploded. She pointed at herself. “I’m a mother-in-law, an elder, and you want me to apologize to him?”

Lu Ze said, “I know that I’ve wronged you, Mother, but please consider my cousin’s future and think more about it.”

Lu’s mother’s face was dark, and she didn’t speak. Lu Ze also sat on the side and accompanied her.

Lu’s mother’s face changed several times. In the end, she took a deep breath and said with difficulty, “You… you bring him over tomorrow…”

A smile flashed in Lu Ze’s eyes. “Yes.”

“Rest well, Mother.”

***

The Marquis of Weibei’s mansion.

After Wei Yan had washed up, for the first time, he very proactively drank the medicine in the maid’s hand, lay on the bed with a book, but he couldn’t get into it at all.

Thinking of today’s events, the depression of the past two days had all dissipated, and in its place was a sweetness that seeped into his heart.

He put the book on his face and couldn’t help but roll around on the bed, his eyes filled with a smile.

After rolling for a long time, he couldn’t help but put his hand on his lower abdomen, and his thoughts drifted a little far.

In the past, he had always been obsessed with wanting a child because he had been lonely since he was a child. He had no family since he could remember and had been wandering around. That was why he had so desperately wanted a child, a home.

But now…

With Lu Ze by his side, Wei Yan’s obsession with a home seemed to have faded a lot, but he still wanted a child.

A child with his and Lu Ze’s blood.

He had never wanted to take care of his body more than at this moment, and he had never looked forward to the arrival of their child more.

Wei Yan’s thoughts slowly drifted away, until a familiar voice came from the door. “Is there still food in the kitchen?”

He was stunned for a moment, then subconsciously jumped out of bed. Just as the door was opened, Lu Ze’s figure was outside the door.

Wei Yan jumped onto him, his eyes filled with a smile that couldn’t be hidden. “Why are you back?”

Lu Ze’s two hands caught him and rubbed his head. “I’ve finished my business, so I came back to accompany you.”

He looked down, and his brows twitched. “You’re not wearing shoes?”

Wei Yan chuckled, was carried by him and placed on the bed, and his feet moved unconsciously. “It’s already summer. It’s not cold.” As he spoke, he had a lot of curiosity in his heart, but he didn’t ask. Instead, he remembered what he had said just now and said, “Are you hungry? Didn’t you eat when you went back? Shall I have the kitchen prepare something for you? What do you want to eat? Noodles are faster. How about some noodles?”

As he spoke, he was about to get out of bed again. Lu Ze pulled him back and held him in his arms. “Chunxin has already arranged it. You just stay here.”

Wei Yan sat on his lap, his eyes sparkling. “Then do you want to eat something to tide you over first? There are still some pastries on the table…”

“No need.” Lu Ze interrupted him and kissed his lips. “Isn’t this ready-made?”

Wei Yan’s fingers gripped his lapels and slowly responded, and he gradually became intoxicated.

The two had not seen each other for a long time, so it was natural for them to be intimate, and they wished they could stick to each other. It wasn’t until the maid brought the noodles that the two of them separated.

Wei Yan couldn’t help but smile when he saw him. He pushed him towards the table. “You should eat quickly.”

Lu Ze was probably really hungry. Although his movements were not rude, he finished a bowl of noodles very quickly. Wei Yan couldn’t help but feel sorry for him and said, “Why are you in such a hurry to come back?”

Lu Ze took a moment to look at him. “If I didn’t hurry back, wouldn’t you have to think about it for another day?”

Wei Yan pursed his lips, as if he were a little embarrassed, and shook his feet. “I won’t think about it anymore in the future.”

Lu Ze looked at him and smiled. Wei Yan’s eyes wandered, and he decisively changed the subject. “Eat slowly. There’s no hurry, no hurry.”

After Lu Ze had finished his dinner and washed up, he lay on the bed and held Wei Yan in his arms.

The two were pressed together. Even if they didn’t do anything, just gently stroking his hair and kissing his forehead, they already felt satisfied at this moment.

Wei Yan was facing him, one hand playing with his hair on and off. Although he was a little curious about what had happened after he went back, he did not take the initiative to ask.

It was Lu Ze who grabbed his restless hand and kissed it. “Can you come back with me tomorrow morning?”

Wei Yan looked up at him, his expression questioning. “What’s wrong?” His intuition told him that there would be a surprise on this trip.

Lu Ze lowered his head and bit the tip of his nose, his voice laced with a smile. “You’ll know when you go back.”
