Chapter 149: Thinking About This Every Day
The next morning, after breakfast, Lu Jiangnian took Yuan Wanru for a stroll in the village.
Although many people cast their eyes on them, no one dared to disturb them.
Lu Jiangnian could also see that Yuan Wanru didn't want to get close to the Yuan family.
He was wearing a dark blue brocade robe with dark patterns, the material was luxurious and elegant, his black hair was tied up with a jade hairpin and a golden crown, and his fair but angular face showed an air of superiority and keeping away from strangers from beginning to end. No one in the Yuan family dared to act rashly in front of him.
Everyone could see that a warm smile only appeared in his indifferent eyes when he looked at Yuan Wanru.
It has to be said that although they did not have the opportunity to talk to Yuan Wanru privately, the Yuan family was still relieved to see that she was so favored by her husband.
In fact, just from the fact that Lu Jiangnian was willing to accompany Yuan Wanru back to her hometown to move the grave, it can be seen that the Marquis of Loyalty and Bravery values and loves Yuan Wanru.
When the Yuan family heard Yuan Xinhui talk about Xiaotang Village again, they felt relieved.
They are powerless and cannot help Yuan Wanru at all. As long as they can see Yuan Wanru is fine, they will be satisfied.
As for Yuan Wanru not wanting to get close to them, she couldn't force it.
After all, the child has never lived with them, so how can they have deep feelings for them?
Over the years, she has never forgotten to bring back money, which shows her deep affection and loyalty.
The Yuan family didn't dare to hope for more.
Yuan Wanru was indeed relieved to see the Yuan family members being so knowledgeable and considerate. She stood on a ridge and looked out at the countryside scenery.
On the grass not far away, a little shepherd boy was grazing two big yellow cows. The cows lowered their heads and ate grass happily.
Muting Village has a good terrain, with a lot of flat land in the village. It is surrounded by mountains and water, making it a good place for farming.
In the distance are undulating mountains and forests, dyed in autumn, the leaves are yellow and dark red, colorful and the scenery is pleasant.
Rural people go out early and come back late. At this time, there are already many villagers working in the fields, and children with double buns playing happily in the fields. It is lively, ordinary and simple.
Lu Jiangnian stood beside her and asked casually, "Madam, how did you confuse Zeng De in Xiaotang Village that day?"
He had never found a suitable opportunity to ask her about this matter.
Yuan Wanru was slightly stunned and turned her head to look at him. He also turned to look at her. Their eyes met. His eyes were very calm, as if this was just an insignificant topic.
She was still thinking, when he could no longer hold it in, he would ask her.
After all, Xuanying slapped Zeng De in the face that day without any mercy. Zeng De was in so much pain, how could he possibly answer her obediently? Her little tricks could fool others, but not Lu Jiangnian.
"It was that glass of water. When no one was paying attention, I put drugs in it."
Lu Jiangnian's pupils shrank. "What kind of medicine is so powerful?"
Can it be able to bewitch people's minds and lead them by the nose?
The two of them have come to this point, and Yuan Wanru doesn't intend to lie to him about many things.
This wasn't the only thing about her that couldn't be explained.
"It's just a hallucinogenic drug with a slight anesthetic effect, so Zeng De forgot the pain and cooperated with my questions."
Ever since the incident in the Eastern Palace, she has been preparing various medicines in private in case of emergency.
"Madam, you..."
Facing her clear eyes, Lu Jiangnian couldn't utter the rest of the words.
She clearly didn't want to say it, so what was the point in asking?
"Next time, if I'm interrogating a criminal, I might need your help."
Yuan Wanru breathed a sigh of relief. It was best that he didn't ask.
"If you need it, you can come to me, but this medicine isn't that magical. It won't be very effective for those who are well-trained and have strong willpower."
"Zeng De was injured at the time and was an ordinary person, so his willpower was not strong enough, which is why he achieved such obvious results."
At this point, Lu Jiangnian has confirmed that his wife is not an ordinary person. Where did she learn such unfathomable medical skills?
If it were someone else, he would have arrested the person and interrogated him strictly.
However, this is the woman he loves, and he doesn't care about these inexplicable things.
As long as she was by his side, he would accept that she was a wild goblin transformed from a mountain monster.
He stared at her and said proudly, "My wife is amazing!"
"I am really worried that someone has snatched my wife away. I need to consummate the marriage as soon as possible so that I can feel at ease."
Yuan Wanru was originally feeling embarrassed by the compliments, but when she heard the following words, her face turned dark.
Is this all he thinks about every day?
She pushed Lu Jiangnian away expressionlessly and turned away: "Shut up!"
-
The two walked back, and when they got near Yuan's house, they saw Yuan Xinhui arguing with several aunts in the village.
"You are such an ungrateful girl. We are doing this for your own good. You are already married and have a mute son. How are you going to live in the future?"
"That's right, Xinhui, you're still young. If you still want to get married, you should leave this child with the Zeng family."
"Yes, what is the point of a mute coming here? Keeping him in the Yuan family in the future will only add to the burden on your parents."
Yuan Xinhui hugged Yuan Xiaojie, her face flushed with anger: "What does this have to do with you? This is our Yuan family's business. My parents, second brother and second sister-in-law didn't say anything. What right do you have to point fingers here?"
Yuan Shan was originally planning to call Yuan Wanru and her husband, but when he passed by here, he naturally wanted to support his sister.
"Third Aunt, Fourth Aunt, Xinhui is my sister, and Xiaojie is her child. The Yuan family can afford to support them. Please don't say such things in the future."
"As their elder brother, I will never despise them."
An old woman with a flat nose snorted softly, "That's nice to say. Xinhui has only been back for a few days, so of course you say that. You already have three children, don't you feel it's a loss to raise one more?"
"Your Wenhao has already been sent to school. Education is the most expensive thing. If you blame Xinhui when you are short of money in the future, wouldn't that be a waste of her time?"
"She is still young, and as her brother, you should make plans for her."
Yuan Xinhui said firmly: "Third Aunt, I have my own hands and feet. I can support Xiaojie and me and will not add to the burden of the family."
Before she got married, she helped with farming at home and she knew how to farm.
At worst, she could go to town to find work as a servant for a wealthy family. Wouldn't that be enough to support her and her child?
She no longer wants to get married.
Yuan Shan spotted Lu Jiangnian and Yuan Wanru standing not far away and greeted them with a smile, "Are you back?"
"The location for the clan's relocation of the grave has been chosen, and I was just about to take you there to see it."
Yuan Shan told Yuan Wanru about it during dinner this morning, and she only then found out.
The Yuan family set aside fifty taels of silver from the silver she sent back every year and donated it to the clan school.
This was the request put forward by Yuan Chuan when he was alive. Over the years, the Yuan family has always adhered to this old practice.
Because of Yuanchuan's kindness, the village paid more attention to the selection of the burial site for Yuanchuan and his wife.
Since Yuan Wanru is back, of course I have to tell her in advance.
September 8th is coming in two days. If she has any objections, the village can immediately choose another location that satisfies her.
