When Lu Sui Xin and the others arrived, the fire in the yard had been extinguished, leaving only a pile of things burned to ashes.

Lu Suixin walked over quickly, looked at everyone carefully, and asked, "Grandma, are you frightened?"

Madam Lu shook her head and said, "I'm fine."

Fortunately, the study room near Lu Lanjiang was not burned, otherwise the consequences would be disastrous.

When Madam Lu saw Fu Chuji coming over, she smiled and said, "Thank you, Prime Minister, for sending Sui Xin back home."

Fu Chuji: "I heard that the General's Mansion was on fire, and I was very anxious, so I followed Sui Xin to come and take a look. Since there is nothing else, I will leave first."

Fu Chuji seemed to be just there for the formality, and when he saw that the general's mansion was fine, he went straight back home.

Fu Chuji returned to the Prime Minister's Mansion and went to the study. Ah Si had been waiting there for a long time.

Fu Chuji: "Is everything done?"

Ah Si chuckled and said, "It's all done. Now we just have to wait for the net to close."

Fu Chuji narrowed his eyes: "No hurry, Lu Suiyuan hasn't come back yet."

Ah Si bowed and said, "Yes, I was impatient. Thanks to Lord Zhang, the Kongming lantern landed right in the general's mansion. I was able to take advantage of the chaos to enter Lu Lanjiang's study and put the things in the secret compartment."

Fu Chuji: "Go down."

Ah Si: “Yes.”

......

It is a sunny day today, the general's mansion is full of joy and everything is cleaned up.

Madam Lu and Lu Lanjiang were all standing at the door. Today was the day Lu Suiyuan was going home. The servant guarding the city gate hurried back and said that the eldest young master had entered the city.

Lu Suiyuan was wearing armor and sitting on horseback. He saw a group of people from his family standing in the general's mansion looking forward to seeing him. He immediately jumped off his horse and ran over. He knelt on the ground and kowtowed three times, saying, "Grandmother, father, mother, I'm back."

Madam Lu wiped her tears with a handkerchief, stretched out her hand to help Lu Suiyuan up, and said with a smile: "It's good that you're back, it's good that you're back. It's cold and hard over there, and my dear grandson has suffered a lot."

"Brother, you are finally back." Lu Sui Xin said happily, "My family is looking forward to seeing you every day."

Lu Suiyuan looked at Lu Suixin and said with a smile: "Suixin has grown up a lot, and now he is almost catching up with his brother."

Lu Lanjiang glanced at Lu Suixin and said, "Humph, he is still far from you."

Ling Xiang wiped her tears and said happily, "Come in quickly. I have asked the kitchen to prepare your favorite food early in the morning."

Lu Suiyuan grinned and said, "Okay."

The General's Mansion was bustling with activity. Lu Lanjiang sat in the main seat and said, "After dinner, we will get ready and then go to the palace to see the Emperor."

Lu Suiyuan: "Okay."

After the meal, Lu Suiyuan followed Lu Lanjiang into the palace, and Lu Suixin went to the Prime Minister's Mansion.

Now Lu Suixin came and went freely in the Prime Minister's Mansion. When he passed by the courtyard, he saw the housekeeper looking dejected. Lu Suixin stopped and asked, "What is it that is difficult for you?"

"The master's birthday will be in a few days, but since he started serving the master, he has never celebrated his birthday. Every time the birthday comes, the master locks himself in the study and does not come out, and does not allow anyone to enter." The butler explained.

Lu Suixin asked: "Why?"

The housekeeper sighed and said, "I heard that it was because that day was also the anniversary of the death of your parents."

This topic seemed to be a taboo. Lu Suixin listened and said, "Leave it to me."

The housekeeper asked, "Master Lu, do you have any ideas?"

Lu Sui Xin pretended to be mysterious and said, "You will know when the time comes, but you have to keep one thing secret for me. Only we know this matter, and you can't tell anyone, including Fu Chuji."

The butler nodded and said, "I will keep my promise."

......

On the morning of Fu Chuji's birthday, Lu Suixin went out early. When he passed by the yard, Lu Suiyuan was practicing boxing inside. Seeing Lu Suixin in a hurry, Lu Suiyuan asked, "Where are you going?"

Lu Suixin leaned against the pillar of the corridor with her hands folded across her chest, and said in suspense: "I won't tell you. By the way, brother, are you going out to play with Yan Lang's sister today?"

Lu Suiyuan finished the last exercise, sweating all over, and stood in the yard, saying, "You're the only one who talks too much."

Lu Suixin listened and said with a smile: "Yan Lang's sister is pretty good. I would definitely be happy if she became my sister-in-law."

Lu Suiyuan pretended to be angry and said, "If you keep talking nonsense, I will drag you to the military camp to gain some experience!"

After hearing this, Lu Suixin ran away and said, "You are just like my father. You can only scare me."

Lu Sui Xin went to the Prime Minister's Mansion. Fu Chuji had gone to the court in the morning and had not returned yet. He immediately prepared the things he needed to prepare and hid in the main hall, waiting for Fu Chuji to come back.

When Fu Chuji came back, his face was not very good. Now everything was ready. The emperor kept him in the morning court today to discuss the matter of capturing Lu Lanjiang and Lu Suiyuan. Now was the best time.

The housekeeper was standing at the door. When he saw Fu Chuji coming back, he hurriedly went to greet him and said with a smile, "My Lord, now that the court is over, I will take you to the front hall for breakfast."

Fu Chuji followed the butler to the main hall. After they sat down, the butler said, "Please wait a moment, sir. Breakfast will be here soon." After saying that, he retreated.

Lu Suixin came over with a bowl of longevity noodles, placed it in front of Fu Chuji, and said with a smile: "Fu Chuji, happy birthday. I made this longevity noodles myself. This is the first time I made it. You can't be so rude to me and eat it all."

Fu Chuji didn't expect Lu Suixin to know that today was his birthday, and even came over to make him a bowl of longevity noodles. Fu Chuji raised his eyes and prepared to call for help.

Lu Suixin noticed his movements and said, "Don't blame others. I overheard it by accident and came here reluctantly."

Fu Chuji looked at the still steaming longevity noodles and said, "I don't celebrate my birthday."

After hearing this, Lu Sui Xin pushed the noodles towards Fu Chuji again, staring at him and threatening him, "Eat quickly. If you don't give me face, I'll beat you up."

Fu Chuji met Lu Suixin's eyes, pretending to be angry, and finally compromised and started eating. This bowl of noodles was not very delicious. Many parts were lumped together because they were not boiled. Although Fu Chuji had a bad spleen and stomach, he ate it all.

Seeing the bowls were cleared, Lu Suixin nodded in satisfaction, "You're pretty obedient." Then, he took out a kite from behind and placed it on the table, a little embarrassed, "Although this day has bad memories for you and that's why you don't celebrate your birthday, but I want to say that if you are happy, the people who care about you will also be happy, so don't embarrass yourself on this day, you should celebrate your birthday happily."

Lu Sui Xin continued, "Last time I heard you say that your father made a kite for you, so I made one according to his example. These are all things that I have tried for the first time, so you are not allowed to despise them!"

Fu Chuji looked at the swallow kite on the table, his heart full of joy and pain. Fu Chuji stood up and held Lu Suixin tightly in his arms. Lu Suixin felt a little bit hurt and reached out to push Fu Chuji.

Fu Chuji buried his head in Lu Suixin's neck and said, "It would be better if you didn't have the last name Lu..." Fu Chuji didn't say the rest.
