Second marriage to the regent

Bai's whereabouts are unknown, and Jun'er has become taciturn.

Lu Ping'an watched Jun'er feeding chickens in the yard. He wanted to go up and help, and wanted to say some words of comfort, but he swallowed the words when they reached his lips.

In addition, he knew that the master had always been dissatisfied with the Hou Mansion, so there were many things that he did not dare to say, but that he could not say.

He was leaning on the door frame in front of the courtyard gate and quietly watching Jun'er feeding the chickens. Suddenly, the sound of horse hooves came from behind him. Looking back, he saw a familiar carriage.

He subconsciously looked back at Jun'er and said, "There's someone in your house."

After hearing this, Jun'er raised his eyes in surprise, immediately put the bowl on the bamboo basket and walked towards the door.

Seeing Su Junxi getting out of the carriage with help, Jun'er hurriedly stepped forward to help her: "Why are you here if your mother isn't resting at home?"

Su Junxi sighed and said, "My house has not been very peaceful recently, so I just wanted to come here for some peace and quiet. When the Tianguan Festival comes, mother will take you back to celebrate the festival."

Jun'er usually celebrated Tianguan Festival, but that was all with him and Bai, and Tang Zhili never accompanied them. This year, his father accompanied them, but his mother would never come back.

Looking at Lu Ping'an at the door, who was looking at them, thinking that Lu Ping'an could only spend the holidays with Mr. Lu and Mr. Lu in the Lu Mansion, Jun'er suggested: "Mom, can master and senior brother come with us to celebrate the holidays?"

Lu Pingan, who was mentioned, blushed and turned around hurriedly: "I'll inform the master."

Su Junxi also knew that her father had been talking about her master, so she nodded: "But this year we are celebrating the festival with the palace people. I'm afraid your master will be reluctant, and my mother will take him to Anguo Gong's Mansion for the festival."

"Why?" Jun'er was puzzled.

Mr. Lu is his master, so he should go to Jing'an Marquis' Mansion during the festival, but it seems a little unreasonable to go to An Guo Gong's Mansion.

Su Junxi explained: "Your master has been friends with Duke An Guo for many years. In addition, there is only one grandmother in the Marquis's residence, and there is no one to entertain you. You can't let your master feel cold, right?"

Listening to Su Junxi's explanation, Jun'er nodded after understanding.

The mother and son crossed the threshold and entered the courtyard. Lu Ping'an came over and said, "It's a coincidence, Mrs. Su. The meal is being prepared at home. Let's eat together in the backyard."

Su Junxi had long heard Jun'er mention several times that Lu Ping'an had taken on the responsibility of taking care of him and Mr. Lu's dietary life at a young age.

When the group came to the backyard, they saw Mr. Lu who was drinking. He waved when they saw them coming: "Come on, come on! Come and eat! It's hot!"

"Why are you starting to drink again?" Su Junxi looked helpless and stepped forward to take the wine bottle from Mr. Lu's hand.

Seeing this, Mr. Lu quickly protected the wine bottle and dodge, and kept muttering: "You girl, how can you be like your mother, even if you drink a little wine!"

Seeing Mr. Lu acting like a rogue, Su Junxi was at a loss and said, "From now on, the money I send will be distributed by Jun'er, so that you can keep your mouth shut."

Mr. Lu knew that once the money fell into Jun'er's hands, he would be thinking of drinking.

But looking down at the wine bottle in his arms and reluctant to let go, Lu Pingan took the opportunity to grab the wine bottle, cork it and put it away.

Mr. Lu looked at everyone pitifully, but they were all on the same side as Su Junxi. He showed an aggrieved expression, picked up the chopsticks to pick up the vegetables, stared at the meat and said: "Look, there is no wine, even This meat doesn’t even taste good anymore.”

He wanted to use this method to convince Su Junxi, but after Su Junxi took his seat, he took away the meat in front of Mr. Lu, placed a plate of peanuts in front of him, and said, "Since you don't like meat, then Eat some peanuts, and this meat, give it to them, they are in the stage of growing."

Lu Ping'an and Jun'er didn't dare to speak, they just held the bowls and lowered their heads to cook.Seeing that this trick didn't work, Mr. Lu had no choice but to compromise and eat obediently.

During this period, he kept looking up at the wine cabinet.

Afternoon
Mr. Lu took advantage of everyone's lunch break. He looked around and saw that no one was in the backyard. He rubbed his hands and walked towards the cabinet with a smile on his face: "If you don't give me a drink, I will drink it!"

But when he came to the cabinet, he was dumbfounded. There was no sign of a wine bottle here!
He thought that Su Junxi didn't take the wine bottle with her when she left. Why was it missing?

He rummaged around on the cabinet, but he still couldn't see the wine bottle. Just when he was wondering, someone behind him tapped him on the shoulder.

Mr. Lu patted her hand away impatiently and said angrily: "Go, go! You didn't see that I was busy!"

"Mr. Lu is busy looking for a wine bottle?" Yan'er suddenly said.

Mr. Lu, who was caught red-handed, turned around in embarrassment and denied: "Girl, you misunderstood, I was walking around and stretching my muscles!"

As soon as he finished speaking, he saw the wine bottle in Yan'er's hand, his eyes instantly lit up, and he stretched out his hand: "Good boy, give me the wine bottle!"

Yan'er placed the wine bottle behind her and said, "Miss, I told you not to touch this thing again."

"The girl can't see it. As long as you don't tell her, how will she know? Right?" Mr. Lu never moved his eyes away from the wine bottle and kept swallowing.

After hearing this, Yan'er seemed to think it made sense and nodded: "What you said makes sense."

"Really! Then give it to me quickly!" Seeing that Yan'er was easy to talk to, Mr. Lu was very happy.

"Here you go." Yan'er gave the wine bottle to Mr. Lu, then turned and left: "Then you must not tell the lady that the slave gave it to you!"

"Don't worry, kid! I won't tell her!" Mr. Lu pulled out the cork of the bottle excitedly and poured it into his mouth. However, he felt something was wrong after taking a sip. Although it smelled like alcohol, it didn't taste right.

He took another sip and found that it was tea. He was so angry that he asked Yan'er to argue with him, but Yan'er had already walked away and disappeared.

He was so angry that he wanted to go to Su Junxi to argue with her and ask her to discipline his maid. But after taking a few steps, he shook his head and left, muttering: "The girl won't let me drink. If I tell her, wouldn't I be beaten?" Are you going to throw yourself into a trap?"

When Su Junxi saw Yan'er coming back, she asked her, "Did you give it to him?"

"Yes." Yan'er admired Su Junxi for actually thinking that Mr. Lu would look for a drink while everyone was sleeping. She looked at her with admiration and said, "Young lady is really amazing. You can predict this."

Su Junxi laughed and said: "It's just that I know the master too well. You should keep an eye on him these days and don't let him touch wine again."

"Don't worry, Miss. My maid will keep a close eye on Mr. Lu." Yan'er promised.

"One more thing, you two should pay more attention to the maid next to Jun'er. I always feel like I have seen this maid somewhere." Su Junxi couldn't think of where she had seen Lan Xiang. In short, it was She had seen him before she came to the Hou Mansion.

Yingshi thought that Su Junxi was tired recently, and said, "Maybe the young lady is worrying too much? She is just a maid, so why should the young lady pay attention?"

"The more inconspicuous the person, the more dangerous the person is. They are so well hidden that they can lurk for years without revealing any clues. They are the most dangerous existences that are most likely to give you a fatal blow." (End of Chapter)
