Chapter 138 The Only Sister
Chapter 138 The Only Sister
"Changqing, what are you looking at?"
Wei Jingyi nudged his shoulder.
"nothing!"
Lu Changqing withdrew his gaze.
He bent down and took a few ice spirit flowers from someone else's hand and started planting them in an orderly manner.
Wei Jingyi took a look and thought, this guy is good at studying, even if he can’t work, he is better than me, right?
Not willing to be outdone, he also bent down and started working.
When the ice spirit flowers were half planted, Ye Xinran invited everyone to take a break and drink some water.
Lu Changqing walked to Xiao Huaian's side.
"Brother-in-law!"
He shouted deliberately, trying to scare Xiao Huaian.
Unexpectedly, Xiao Huaian did not show any surprise, but asked calmly: "What's the matter?"
He knows too?
But when did they know?
Lu Changqing felt very uncomfortable when he thought that she knew he was his brother but treated him like a stranger.
It seems like my sister really doesn't want to recognize him.
"Since you already know my sister's identity, shouldn't you let her do these jobs? My sister is the eldest daughter of the Marquis' Mansion, she shouldn't suffer so much."
"I know you feel bad for her."
Xiao Huaian stopped what he was doing and looked at Ye Xinran who was still working not far away. "I care about her more than you do. I will definitely make sure she has enough food and clothing in the future."
"Men's words are the most untrustworthy!"
Lu Changqing said disdainfully, "Don't always say that later. You shouldn't let my sister do so much work now!"
Seeing the arrogance in Lu Changqing's eyes, Xiao Huaian was not angry at all. Instead, he smiled and said, "I can't make the decision on this."
He looked at Ye Xinran, his eyes full of tenderness, "This is what she likes to do, I have no right to stop her from doing it.
If one day she doesn't want to do it anymore, I can still support her, so you don't need to worry about it."
"But my sister could have lived a better life. It's because of you that she is trapped here."
Lu Changqing still hoped that Ye Xinran could leave with him.
"Have you dealt with the Lu family's affairs? I heard that you don't seem to be favored at home."
Xiao Huaian said it lightly.
Lu Changqing widened his eyes.
How did he know about my family?
How does he know he is not favored?
Did he investigate the Lu family?
But how could he, a hunter, have such great abilities?
Or is he not a hunter at all?
So who is he?
Lu Changqing looked at Xiao Huaian carefully and found that he was indeed not someone he knew.
"You're not living a happy life yourself, can you guarantee that Xinran won't be hurt after she returns to the Lu family? Can you guarantee that she will live a happy life?
What can you do if your father wants to punish her?"
Xiao Huaian bombarded Lu Changqing with questions like a machine gun, and he was completely speechless.
It's too cruel, stabbing me in the heart everywhere.
With his current abilities, he really cannot guarantee that his sister will live the good life he imagines after she returns.
but,
"Don't think you're anything special!"
Lu Changqing refused to admit defeat. "It's okay for my sister not to go back, but I have to stay and see how she is doing."
"Row."
Xiao Huaian agreed immediately.
"Changsheng happens to be at the academy studying, so you can squeeze in with Changan and Changping."
"How many children do you have?"
Lu Changqing became famous.
There is no reason for such a good sister like me to become the stepmother of so many children!
"It's not my child, it's my nephew."
Xiao Huaian explained for himself.
There can be no misunderstanding about this matter.
"Just squeeze in!"
Lu Changqing was full of confidence. Although life in the Marquis' Mansion might not be satisfactory, it was definitely better than here!
But soon, he wasn't so sure anymore.
After planting the ice spirit flowers, the group headed home.
Xiao Huaian and Ye Xinran were fine, but Lu Changqing and Wei Jingyi were so tired that they could hardly lift their feet.
He thought that after returning home, Ye Xinran would still have to wash clothes, cook, and be busy with housework, and then he could make his sister face reality.
Who knew that as soon as I entered the yard, a little boy came out with a basin of water: "Uncle, Aunt, you are back, come and wash your hands."
The boy was handsome, with a bun on his head and a neat robe on. He looked like a little scholar and was quite cute.
The boy saw Lu Changqing and Wei Jingyi and said in a puzzled tone: "There are guests at home. I will go get a basin of water for the guests to wash their hands."
After washing his hands, Lu Changqing saw another boy in the yard feeding the chickens and geese at home. He was dressed similarly to the other child, but looked a lot taller.
"Aunt, I saw that you and Uncle didn't come back just now. I have already washed the rice, the cabbage and the bamboo shoots, and filled the water tank. Aunt, please rest well before cooking."
Changping came over and greeted the two guests.
Hearing this, Lu Changqing blushed a little.
He thought that his sister had to take care of all the household chores and that it must be tiring for her to raise so many children.
Who knew that these children are so sensible.
He didn't dare to think about taking his sister out to enjoy a good life.
If I lived with two children, I wouldn't be able to do as much as I would with two children.
In the end, Lu Changqing didn't accomplish anything.
I also had a meal with Wei Jingyi at Xiao's house.
The meal was delicious.
It tastes much better than what his chef makes.
After Wei Jingyi finished his meal, he took Lu Changqing and was about to leave.
"Doctor Ye, Brother Xiao, it's getting late, so we'll leave now."
"Go back quickly before it gets dark."
Ye Xinran warned: "Be careful on the way back. And Changqing, you are tired today. Remember to take an extra pill at night."
Lu Changqing felt that he was really useless.
Instead of being helpful, I became a burden.
This was different from what he had originally imagined.
"I'm not leaving. Jingyi, go back and tell my aunt that I want to stay."
Lu Changqing said.
Wei Jingyi was shocked.
"Chang Qing, you are too willful. How can I explain to you if you don't go back?"
"My aunt knows everything, she will definitely agree." Lu Changqing insisted.
In the end, it was Ye Xinran who persuaded: "You should go back today. If your family agrees, you can come and stay for a few more days."
Lu Changqing was determined to stay.
Hearing Ye Xinran say this, he could only agree reluctantly: "I understand."
The two returned to the Wei family, and Lu Changqing told Mrs. Leng everything that had happened during the day.
Madam Leng was also very surprised: "Xinran actually knew about this?"
"Yes!" Lu Changqing nodded, "I knew it earlier than I did! So, aunt, please let me stay there for a few days. My sister has agreed."
Mrs. Leng had no choice but to agree. There had been no reply from the capital yet, and she wanted to go over sometime to have a good chat with Ye Xinran.
The next day, Wei Jingyi accompanied Lu Changqing to the Xiao family again.
Unexpectedly, as soon as I arrived at the Xiao family's door, I met an uninvited guest.
