You've already caught the embroidered ball, and you still say it's not my husband?

Lu Xuan ate his rice by himself.

"Didn't you just say you wanted to cultivate feelings? Why are you just sitting there like a blockhead, only thinking about eating? Hurry up and put some food in Qingwan's bowl!" Lu Qingqing urged Lu Xuan to take the initiative.

But when Lu Xuan looked at the food in Su Qingwan's bowl, it was already piled up to half the height of a chopstick. How was he supposed to pick it up?

Instead, Su Qingwan acted like a dutiful young wife, putting some food in Lu Xuan's bowl and asking with concern, "My lord, you must be very tired from traveling around treating and saving lives all day long?"

A beautiful woman was standing beside him, calling him "husband" sweetly, and even serving him food and asking after his well-being!

Lu Xuan felt his heart racing!

Can he really hold out for a year?

"No, I'm not tired. Thank you for your concern, Miss Su," Lu Xuan quickly replied politely.

"You called me by the wrong name!"

Lu Qingqing couldn't help but roll her eyes. "Qingwan is your wife, how can you still call her Miss Su?"

"Yes, yes, yes! Little Xuanzi, you should call your sister-in-law 'wife'!" Li Du chimed in with a simple smile.

Lu Xuan and Su Qingwan are now recognized as a couple by both the public and the government, and they always were before their divorce. He should indeed call Su Qingwan "Niangzi" (wife).

The young girl looked at Lu Xuan with shy, clear eyes, her voice weak, "If you're not used to it, you can call me Qingwan..."

Lu Qingqing, the older sister, ladled out a bowl of fish soup and placed it in front of Lu Xuan, indicating that Lu Xuan should handle it himself!

Lu Xuan was neither a block of wood nor an inflexible person.

He took a deep breath, stood up, and handed the fish soup to the girl beside him.

"My lady... please, please have some fish soup."

Upon hearing this address, the girl was momentarily stunned.

Then she took the porcelain bowl with both hands, her face beaming with joy, her cheeks as beautiful as a flower, "Mmm~ Thank you, husband."

"My lady, don't be so polite."

Lu Xuan avoided eye contact, and even seemed a little embarrassed.

"Haha, little Xuanzi can even be shy now!"

"Young people, you know, I understand! Hahaha!"

This scene made Lu Qingqing and Li Du, two experienced people, laugh heartily, and the maid Xi'er was also happy for her young mistress.

In the courtyard, apart from a donkey whose stomach was growling with hunger and someone who didn't know whether to laugh or cry, the atmosphere was joyful and harmonious.

Half an hour later, they had eaten and drunk their fill.

There was some leftover food, which Lu Qingqing took and poured for Bao Bulu, not forgetting to curse as she did so, "You good-for-nothing who only eats and doesn't work, we'll kill you and eat you sooner or later!"

Uh...

Bao Bulu is suffering in his heart!

It's so hard to make a living. You have to be mindful of people's attitudes, and all you get are leftovers!

He's a dignified seventh-grade demon beast! Does he only deserve to eat leftovers?

No way! He wants to be a donkey with ambition!

Even if they are starving, even if they run away from home, they will never eat a single bite!

Three seconds later.

Oh my, it smells so good!

……

A gentle breeze blows by, carrying a faint floral fragrance in the air; one breath is enough to make one feel refreshed and relaxed.

"Husband, Qingwan has something to tell you," Su Qingwan said suddenly, looking at Lu Xuan.

Lu Xuan was taken aback, and a sense of tension welled up inside him.

Could this pitiful-looking girl be planning to take him back to the manor with her?

Although the two are officially husband and wife, the son-in-law should indeed live in the woman's family home.

But in that case, wouldn't Lu Xuan truly become a "caged bird"?

How else did he manage to take on orders and upgrade his medical treatment and life-saving skills?

The young woman noticed Lu Xuan's worry and smiled gently, "Don't worry, my husband, Qingwan didn't ask you to go back now."

She knew that Lu Xuan was an itinerant doctor who was used to traveling around the streets and alleys every day, and that his feelings for her were not that deep. If she asked Lu Xuan to go back to the Su residence with her, he would definitely not want to.

however!

How can two people develop feelings for each other if they don't spend time together?

and so!

The young woman looked at Lu Xuan and gently reminded him, "Husband, the Mid-Autumn Festival is in seven days. You must go home for a reunion dinner then. It would be best if Sister Lu, Brother-in-law Li, and Tongtong could come along too. It would be more lively if the whole family were together..."

Since ancient times, the Mid-Autumn Festival has been an important day for family reunion. As the son-in-law of the Su family, Lu Xuan should be present on that day, even if he is not usually at home.

"That's how it should be."

Lu Xuan nodded, having no reason to refuse.

The girl smiled and said, "My mother actually... misses you very much too. She even made plans with some of my aunts to go to Wangyue Tower to admire the moon during the Mid-Autumn Festival. My aunts also said they want to see you."

Lu Xuan's eyelids twitched a few times.

The thought of the girl's mother made him feel guilty and afraid!

Yesterday, the other party wanted him to stay and complete the wedding ceremony with the young woman, which terrified Lu Xuan so much that he turned tail and ran away. The other party must be furious...

They might even want to skin him alive and pull out his tendons!

very scary!

"whee."

Seeing Lu Xuan's terrified expression, the girl couldn't help but cover her mouth and giggle, "Husband, please don't worry, my mother has a sharp tongue but a soft heart, she won't skin you alive..."

Lu Xuan's lips twitched.

Was this meant to comfort him, or was it meant to scare him?

Whew!

"Don't worry, my lady, I will definitely go."

Lu Xuan solemnly agreed.

No matter how fierce the girl's mother was, or how dangerous the Su family mansion was, he had to go there for the Mid-Autumn Festival in seven days.

"Then it's settled, my love, you can't go back on your word~" The girl winked playfully, her beautiful eyes as bright as the Mid-Autumn Festival moon.

Then, her maid Xi'er helped her up.

"It's getting late, Xi'er and I should head back now," the girl said apologetically to everyone.

It was only late afternoon, but it would take two hours to travel by carriage from Qingyang County back to Yunzhou. If it got too late, we would have to travel at night, which was a very dangerous thing in ancient times. Even with a few servants to protect us, it was not safe.

It's better to go back sooner!

Lu Qingqing and Li Du understood this principle, so they didn't try to persuade her to stay. However, they were troubled because they hadn't brought anything with them today, and now that their sister-in-law was leaving, they had no gifts to give her.

In particular, Su Qingwan even took off her valuable Guanyin jade pendant and gave it to the little girl Tongtong.

The little girl hung the jade pendant around her neck and immediately cheered and jumped around the yard.

"Little Xuanzi!"

Lu Qingqing tugged at Lu Xuan's sleeve, "Qingwan is your wife, and she's come all this way to see you... Now that she's leaving, aren't you going to do anything for her? It's so unfair to let her go empty-handed!"

"What do you have? Quickly take it out and give it to them!"

Lu Qingqing and Li Du urged Lu Xuan to return the gift.

Lu Xuan scratched his head.

His medicine kit did indeed contain all sorts of odds and ends, but what should he send?

What would be suitable for this delicate and frail young girl?

understood!

Lu Xuan slapped his thigh, and instantly realized!

"Su... my wife, I also want to give you something."

As he spoke, Lu Xuan rummaged through his medicine chest and pulled out a pearl bracelet.

The bracelet is strung with twelve moon-white pearls of excellent quality, making it very suitable for women to wear.

As for how he got the bracelet, Lu Xuan couldn't remember.

It seems to have been "taken" from the package of a highway robber?

Sigh, the source doesn't matter!

"Husband...you're going to give this to me?" The girl looked at the pearl bracelet in Lu Xuan's hand with delight.

Although a bracelet is not a particularly precious thing to her, the eldest daughter of the Su family, it is the first gift her husband has ever given her, and it is of great significance!

She would like anything given to her by Lu Xuan, even if it was just a leaf on the ground!

"Hmm." Lu Xuan nodded. "But... it's still not enough!"

His wife has no shortage of jewelry or other material possessions; what she lacks is security!

Lu Xuan held the pearl bracelet in one hand and made a hand seal with the other. In an instant, the air surged and a gale arose.

Mysterious Talisman Manual!

Twenty-four blue talismans appeared out of thin air and instantly disappeared into the twelve moon-white pearls on the bracelet in pairs.

The Mysterious Talisman Manual is a technique of talismans. Lu Xuan can create any talisman without any medium, and can also use an object as a medium to embed the talisman.

"The journey is long, my lady, wearing this bracelet will ensure your safety." Lu Xuan concealed his aura and handed the pearl bracelet to the girl.

The young girl Su Qingwan is gentle and weak, and she is his wife in name and law. If she really encounters a bad person and something happens to her, wouldn't Lu Xuan become a "widow"?

Therefore, Lu Xuan had to draw a talisman and give it to her to protect his gentle and weak wife as much as possible and prevent any potential trouble!

Su Qingwan stared blankly at the bracelet Lu Xuan handed her, both surprised and touched!

She knew that Lu Xuan was highly skilled in medicine and also possessed cultivation, capable of instantly killing the wicked Wang Hao with silver needles... But Lu Xuan also knew the art of talismans?

When she was "sick" before, Mrs. Su went to temples or Taoist temples many times to pray for her safety, bought Guanyin jade pendants that had been blessed by masters, and also bought some talismans for exorcising evil spirits, but they were almost useless.

But the talisman that Lu Xuan drew himself looked extraordinary, so it must be effective and powerful!

And most importantly... my husband is showing concern for me!

The girl's cheeks flushed slightly, and she took the pearl bracelet, holding it in her hands, her heart filled with happiness.

"Thank you, my husband..."
