PFC Chapter 434: Can Guilt Be Eaten?
Chapter 434: Can Guilt Be Eaten?
"Lu Sui, you are just saying this out of anger. Second brother is a man who can be stationed in the border for a long time without the support of the court. We can't say that he is rich, but at least he has the ability to support his troops. To put it bluntly, if he dies, you will be the only one who can legitimately inherit these things. No matter what, don't be stingy with money. It originally belongs to you, why let others get it?"
When Yuan Buwei saw Lu Sui trying to move, she immediately pulled his sleeve and shook her head at him.
Lu Sui frowned and finally responded with silence.
But the clever Princess Jinghe had already seen through the two's little tricks, and she curved her lips and said, "It's getting late, you two should leave the palace early and go back to rest. I won't tell anyone about what happened today, and I will send people to the border to find out the population of Second Brother's family. As for the man and woman who came with Second Brother's wife this time, you don't have to pay attention to them. If they dare to provoke me again next time, tell me and I will deal with them."
"Thank you so much Princess Jinghe. We will take our leave now."
"Princess Jinghe, we are leaving now. You should also go to bed early."
On the way back, Lu Sui leaned against the wall of the car, saying nothing, with his brows furrowed.
This was the first time Yuan Buwei saw him look so solemn since he was injured and recovered.
"Very contradictory, isn't it?"
Lu Sui was startled, and looked up at Yuan Buwei in confusion: "Awei?"
"I say, you are very conflicted now. You are clearly prepared to hate them, but you are afraid that they will apologize to you and tell you how difficult it was for them. Are you afraid that you will be soft-hearted?" Yuan Buwei moved closer to Lu Sui. "Before I was completely disappointed with my parents, I always imagined whether they would cry and beg me, telling me how helpless they were, and begging for my forgiveness. Unfortunately, they only thought of me as a burden from beginning to end."
"That's because they don't know how to cherish." Lu Sui held Shangyuan Buwei's hand and paused, "I'm not conflicted. I'm just thinking, if they force me or threaten me with something, should I compromise or fight them to the end?"
"That shouldn't be the case. Judging from the way your biological mother looks at you, she should feel guilty towards you."
"Why did you do this in the first place? Can guilt be eaten?" Lu Sui snorted and laughed.
"But you are actually a soft-hearted person, you just talk tough." Yuan Buwei poked Lu Sui's bulging cheek, "And you are happy that she is still alive, right?"
Lu Sui suddenly turned his head and looked at Yuan Buwei.
After a long while, he sighed and fell on Yuan Buwei's shoulder: "There are two voices in my mind. One says to ask her clearly, and the other says that since she has chosen to abandon you, what's the point of asking clearly? Awei, I don't know, I really..."
"You think that forgiving her means betraying your father-in-law and mother-in-law. After all, they are the ones who raised you, right?"
Lu Sui hugged Yuan Buwei tightly: "Well, Awei, you still understand me the best."
"I think you don't need to be so entangled. First of all, they were wrong first. Just like Princess Jinghe said, they want to make it up to you. Just take whatever they give you. After all, you are their son. It is only natural for you to take what they give you. As for whether you want to let bygones be bygones, it depends on their performance. This is not called being heartless. This is called giving someone else a taste of your own medicine."
"Hey?"
Lu Sui's eyes lit up when he heard this: "Let them also taste my suffering?"
"Well, as long as you put aside the idea that they are your parents, then you can consider their own interests when doing anything, and things will be much simpler. As for the people around them, if they are like that girl Aju, who is always whining, then we won't be polite. They don't even give us face, so there's no need for us to be nice to them. We can take action instead of talking."
"Awei, I like your way of doing things. That's right, they don't even give us face, so why should we treat them well?" Lu Sui smiled again, "Anyway, I will never forgive them easily."
"Everything depends on your happiness."
"Awei, you are so nice. With you accompanying me and guiding me, I am not afraid of anything, no matter how difficult it is." Lu Sui hugged Yuan Buwei, his tone sticky, "Awei, Awei..."
"Okay, I'm here."
Yuan Buwei held Lu Sui with one hand and stroked his head with the other until he felt comfortable. "But the key right now is my father-in-law and my mother-in-law. If we don't mediate their conflict, it might not be appropriate. And no one can predict what will happen in the future..."
"Now that she's back, I don't know what she will do next. Why don't we wait and see what she does before making any plans? Otherwise, it will implicate our father and mother." Lu Sui suggested.
"Okay, it's up to you."
The two smiled at each other, snuggled together, listening to each other's heartbeats. The atmosphere was peaceful and beautiful.
Lu Bing planned to open a branch of Jishidiang a month ago.
From choosing a place to decorating, everyone contributed money and effort in every step and was very busy.
Lu Sui was even busier because he had wasted a lot of time rescuing people before.
Right now, apart from sleeping and eating, he devotes all his time to Jishidiang.
Yuan Buwei was also very busy, helping Lu Bing to check and see which areas of the pharmacy could be optimized, and occasionally setting up free clinics to accumulate good reviews.
In the blink of an eye, a month passed and it was the anniversary of Concubine Hui's death.
Concubine Hui was considered the favorite concubine of the previous emperor, so this time not only the concubines in the harem, but also many officials' wives and daughters came to the palace to pay homage, and to listen to some stories about Concubine Hui to learn how she behaved in the world.
As Lu Sui's legal wife, Yuan Buwei naturally could not escape.
After various solemn and serious ceremonies and worships.
Everyone came to the place where Concubine Hui lived before her death, sat together, and listened to the Queen Mother talk about Concubine Hui's past.
When the Queen Mother was excited, not only was her tone filled with nostalgia for Concubine Hui, but her eyes were also filled with tears.
This shows that there is a deep sisterhood between them.
"Queen Mother, Queen Mother."
Just then a maid ran in hurriedly, her eyes full of excitement: "The Wolf King is back."
The empress dowager, who was in grief, was startled and stood up immediately the next second: "What did you say?"
"The Wolf King is back. He is waiting outside the palace."
"Quick, let him in."
Yuan Buwei, who was standing behind Princess Jinghe, frowned. She thought that since the Canglang Princess had returned, the Canglang King would not come back, but he turned out to be back.
"Mother!"
Just as Yuan Buwei was thinking, a cheerful voice was heard outside, followed by a tall figure who strode in.
"My sons and ministers see their mother and queen."
"Ao Cang? Is that you?" The Queen Mother's eyes were blurred with tears. She couldn't believe that the man in front of her was the one she had been thinking about day and night.
