Su Qingci hugged his waist tightly, her voice nasal, "My mother is in charge of the housekeeping power in the mansion. All matters in the inner house have to be decided by her. I can't leave the Su Mansion."

"But don't worry, I can take care of myself."

Su Qingci was thinking of telling Lu Huan a few more things about safety, but at this moment he heard a servant reporting at the entrance of the main hall: "General, Madam, General Lu is here!"

Hearing this, Su Qingci did not dare to be negligent. She quickly withdrew her hands that were originally hugging Lu Huan, took out a handkerchief from her waist and wiped her face. After tidying up her appearance, she stood beside Lu Huan in a dignified and polite manner.

When she saw Lu Guang approaching, she hurriedly bowed and greeted him, "Father."

Lu Guang looked at the slight blush at the corners of Su Qingci's eyes, and he understood what was going on, so he nodded slightly at her.

Then, Lu Guang turned his gaze to Lu Huan, holding a map in his hand.

He said to Lu Huan in a serious tone: "Come here, let's go to the study. I want to talk to you in detail about the current situation and related issues such as topography and terrain."

Lu Huan knew very well that his experience on the battlefield was far less than Lu Guang's. In order to return safely as soon as possible, he naturally would not refuse Lu Guang's kindness.

So he nodded slightly and then walked towards Lu Guang.

Su Qingci followed them silently into the study.

After entering the study, she first poured each of them a cup of hot tea, and then served two exquisite snacks.

Finally, Su Qingci said softly, "Father, you guys can chat first. I'll go prepare some luggage for Ziyi to take on the journey."

Lu Huan turned to look at her, with a little reluctance in his eyes, but still said, "Go."

Su Qingci nodded and closed the door for them when he went out, leaving Lu Guang and Lu Huan in the study to continue discussing military and national affairs.

……

Su Qingci didn't quite know what people going to war should bring, so he went to ask Zitan first. Although Zitan had never fought on the battlefield, she was a well-trained secret guard after all and knew roughly what was needed.

Su Qingci followed Zitan's instructions and carefully prepared the necessary luggage for Lu Huan's journey.

He also quietly put an amulet that he had worn for more than ten years into his leather belt.

Fearing that Lu Huan might accidentally lose it, Su Qingci took out the needle and thread and carefully sewed it tightly to make sure it was safe before she felt relieved.

Xiao He: "Madam, you have been wearing this amulet for a long time. The old lady once said that you must not take it off unless there are special circumstances such as bathing..."

This amulet was obtained by Liu Jingru when she was eight years old and took her to Kaishan Temple to pray for it.

The maids serving her at the time were instructed by Wang Miaoqing to be lazy and idle all day long and were very careless in taking care of her, so that she suffered from diarrhea for a long time due to eating spoiled cakes.

The child was only eight years old and was almost fainting from stomachache.

Liu Jingru firmly believed that Wang Miaoqing had done this intentionally, so she made a big fuss in the mansion, and then had a fierce quarrel with Su Songqi, and asked Su Songqi to deal with those maids.

But Su Songqi was at his most biased at the time. He firmly believed that Liu Jingru was deliberately provoking trouble, so he did not hesitate to deprive her of the power to manage household affairs and transferred it to Wang Miaoqing.

After this incident, Liu Jingru became even more convinced that Wang Miaoqing was trying to harm her and her daughter in order to take away the housekeeper rights that she had finally regained.

A mother who knows that her child's illness is caused by someone else will naturally be angry and will try to seek justice.

Even if Wang Miaoqing didn't order someone to poison Su Qingci, her diarrhea was indirectly related to Wang Miaoqing.

But Su Songqi was protecting Wang Miaoqing, so she had no choice.

So when Su Qingci recovered, she took her to Kaishan Temple to pray for a talisman.

Coincidentally, there is an elderly master named Zuo in Kaishan Temple. Due to old age and frailty, the master no longer tells fortunes for people, but occasionally he will consecrate and bless the amulets that people have obtained.

However, that day, Liu Jingru brought Su Qingci to Kaishan Temple and had just prayed for amulets when they happened to meet this master at the corner.

The master surnamed Zuo not only personally blessed their amulets, but also gave Liu Jingru some advice.

He said that Su Qingci would have a destined person, but this marriage would come later, at least after she turned eighteen, and told her not to rush to find someone for Su Qingci.

He also said that Su Qingci should not take off the amulet unless necessary, otherwise a disaster might occur.

Liu Jingru asked a few more questions, but the master just said that the secret cannot be revealed and said nothing else.

So when Su Songqi was in a hurry to find a partner for Su Qingci, Liu Jingru refused no matter what and insisted that she wait until she was 18 years old before starting to look for a partner for her.

She always kept the amulet in her purse and would not take it off easily except when sleeping or bathing at night.

The reason why she married Lu Huan was because she was already eighteen years old before she met Lu Huan.

In this era, it is inappropriate for her to have not found a suitable husband at her age.

So later when Su Qingci talked about Lu Huan with Liu Jingru, Liu Jingru naturally thought that Lu Huan was the one the master had mentioned, her destined person.

As for the amulet, she felt that she had no use for it now. Anyway, she was staying in the mansion and would not go too far. Lu Huan would also send people to protect her safety, so there was no need for her to carry it with her.

This amulet is different from the others. The master surnamed Zuo passed away a few years ago, so there is no chance to ask for another one.

So Su Qingci wanted to give this amulet to Lu Huan. He was about to go to the battlefield, and Su Qingci was worried about his safety, so she sewed the amulet into his belt and asked him to wear it every day.

After Su Qingci finished all this, he told Xiao He, "Don't tell anyone, especially the general and mother."

"Do you understand?"

Xiao He was a little reluctant, but still agreed, "I understand."

"Come with me to the kitchen and make a few more dishes that the general likes tonight. We won't have such good food on the battlefield."

"Yes."

……

When it was time for dinner, Lu Huan and Lu Guang were still discussing the war in the study. Su Qingci knocked on the door lightly and only walked into the study after getting Lu Huan's consent.

Su Qingci bowed, "Father, Ziyi, it's time for dinner, let's have some dinner before continuing."

Lu Guang raised his head and was about to leave. "Just eat. I'll come back later."

Su Qingci hurriedly said, "It's late at night, where is father going?"

"We are all family, there is no need to rush, just eat here and continue."

"I heard that the princess went to the palace to visit the queen mother. Maybe they haven't prepared any food there. Father, please stay and have dinner with us."

Lu Guang remained silent, thinking to himself that even if he wanted to stay, Lu Huan might not be willing to do so.

However, surprisingly, after hearing what Su Qingci said, Lu Huan actually took the initiative to invite Lu Guang to have dinner together, which really surprised Lu Guang.

……

This was the first time that Su Qingci had dined with Lu Guang since she married into the Lu family, and she couldn't help feeling a little nervous at the moment.

She was seen standing quietly beside the dining table, holding a serving chopstick, carefully picking up food for Lu Guang, and whispered, "I don't know what kind of food my father likes, so I prepared more."

"Father, please use more."

Lu Guang nodded slightly in response.

Then, Su Qingci was about to pick up some food for Lu Huan, but Lu Huan suddenly reached out and grabbed her right wrist, which was holding the food.

Noticing that she paused for a moment, he said, "You can sit down and have dinner with us. The maids can handle these trivial matters."

Su Qingci turned his head slightly to look at Lu Guang, and seeing that he did not object, he smiled slightly and said softly to Lu Huan, "Okay."

Then she slowly took her seat.

……

Time was tight, so the father and son quickly finished their meal and went back to the study to discuss matters.

Su Qingci waited until he was sleepy but Lu Huan still didn't come back to rest, so he had to get on the couch and prepare to sleep first.

When she woke up again, there was a big, broad hand on her waist, and Lu Huan was hugging her tightly from behind, as if he was afraid that she would disappear.

Su Qingci looked at the faint sunlight coming in from outside, feeling the warmth of the moment, and felt a little touched.

It has been less than four months since she married Lu Huan, and she has to experience the pain of separation. God really plays tricks on people.

Just as she was sighing, Lu Huan suddenly asked, "What are you thinking about?"
