The beginning of the counterattack! The time-traveling boss is famous in Beijing

Mrs. Lu was slightly stunned when she heard this, and then she showed a gentle smile.

"Wan Ning, the Earl Zhongyuan Mansion is your mother's home. It is your duty to go back and accompany your mother. Tomorrow, let Chen'er take half a day off to accompany you..."

"Mother, that's not necessary. My husband is busy with work. Luzhu and Hongli can accompany me back. Wanning will arrange everything." Lin Wanning interrupted Mrs. Lu. The expression on her face was still as gentle as usual, but her attitude was very tough.

Mrs. Lu's heart skipped a beat, and the worry that had just settled down in her heart was instantly lifted again.

She gave Lu Jingchen a look, indicating that he should take the initiative to go forward and coax Lin Wanning.

After being enlightened by Lu's father, Lu Jingchen knew that there was no possibility for him and Qin Ruo to be together anymore.

He has decided to settle down and live a good life with Lin Wanning.

Lu Jingchen recalled his attitude towards Lin Wanning during this period and felt a little guilty. He also wanted to repair his relationship with Lin Wanning.

Hearing that Lin Wanning wanted to go back to her parents' home for a few days, he also thought about asking for two days' leave from the Hanlin Academy and accompanying Lin Wanning back to the Earl of Zhongyuan's Mansion for a short stay to make up for his neglect of his wife during this period.

Seeing Lin Wanning's cold attitude and refusal to let him accompany her, Lu Jingchen, who was about to step forward, retracted his steps.

Mrs. Lu felt increasingly uneasy at this moment. She was afraid that her daughter-in-law, who had always been very smart, might have heard what she and Chen'er had said tonight.

She really didn't want to let Lin Wanning go back to her parents' home at this critical juncture, for fear that it would cause trouble.

The Zhongyuan Marquis and his wife were well-known for being daughter slaves in the capital, otherwise they would not have allowed Lin Wanning to marry into their family.

If Mrs. Lin knew that her daughter had suffered so much injustice in the Lu Mansion, I am afraid that the Lu Mansion would not be able to withstand the wrath from the Earl of Zhongyuan's Mansion.

Mrs. Lu was feeling guilty. She had never seen Lin Wanning being so tough.

Although her words were still soft, her attitude clearly showed that she was determined to go back to her parents' home. She couldn't help but feel a little guilty and powerless.

"Mother, don't worry too much. I'm just going to stay for a few days and will be back soon. Please take good care of yourself in the mansion."

Seeing Mrs. Lu's complicated expression, Lin Wanning couldn't bear it for a moment and took the initiative to comfort Mrs. Lu.

To be honest, Mrs. Lu was hiding something from me regarding the matter of Princess Ning'an.

It's also my fault for being so confused at the time. My mother had clearly opposed this matter more than once, but I just didn't listen to a word she said at the time.

Fortunately, after marrying into the Lu family, Mrs. Lu treated me quite well.

I didn't set any rules for myself, and I didn't have to reflect on myself morning and evening.

Even soon after he entered the house, he was asked to take charge of the Lu family's finances.

She had thought about whether Lu Jingchen would take a concubine in the future. Although she felt a little uncomfortable, the general trend was like this, so she was mentally prepared.

However, her discovery tonight made her realize that Lu Jingchen already had someone else in his heart, and she was not even a substitute. Lin Wanning suddenly felt a little tired.

"Wan Ning, why don't you let Chen Er accompany you to Guanghong Temple tomorrow? Haven't you always wanted to go to Guanghong Temple to ask for a peace amulet for your family? It's a good opportunity for you two to go out for a walk and relax."

Seeing that Lin Wanning's attitude had softened, Mrs. Lu immediately tried to change the subject, as if she had forgotten that Lin Wanning had just mentioned that she would go back to her parents' home tomorrow.

Mrs. Lu's mind suddenly became active. She now had only one goal, which was to stabilize her first.

Lin Wanning, the daughter-in-law, is kind-hearted and soft-hearted. She hopes to buy some time for Lu Jingchen so as not to deepen the conflict between the couple.

More importantly, it is out of consideration for the relationship between the Lu and Lin families.

Lin Wanning's heart sank inch by inch, and she suddenly laughed.

Indeed! After getting married, she had always wanted to go to Guanghong Temple and had mentioned it to Lu Jingchen. But Lu Jingchen kept making excuses for being busy, and the trip was delayed for two months.

Just now she thought that no matter how Lu Jingchen treated her, at least her mother-in-law treated her well.

Now it seems that I just showed a little soft-heartedness, and Mrs. Lu immediately took advantage of the situation.

In fact, when it comes to the critical moment, which mother would not stand by her children?

And the daughter-in-law is, after all, just an outsider.

The reason why he tried so hard to stop me from returning to Earl Zhongyuan's Mansion is because he is afraid that I will say something unfavorable to the Lu family after I return?

Sure enough, I was still too naive.

Mrs. Lu's face changed slightly and she wanted to say something, but Lu Jingchen spoke first.

"Mother, notify the warehouse to prepare gifts for Wan Ning. Wan Ning hasn't been back to visit her parents-in-law since she returned home. It's her duty to go back and show her filial piety. As for Guanghong Temple, I'll accompany Wan Ning when she wants to go."

The meaning of Lu Jingchen's reminder was very clear. He reminded Lu's mother not to interfere too much in Lin Wanning's decision. Insisting on doing so would only make the situation more awkward.

Mrs. Lu shut up awkwardly.

Lin Wanning stopped laughing and her eyes first moved to Lu Jingchen and then returned to Mrs. Lu.

"Mother, don't worry. I have no other purpose, I just simply want to go back to my parents' home. It's late at night, I won't disturb your rest, Wan Ning will take her leave first." After saying that, she bowed slightly, turned around and left Chunhua Courtyard.

Mrs. Lu looked at Lin Wanning's back, feeling mixed emotions. She understood what Lin Wanning meant.

She was promising herself to ease her mind that she would not tell her parents a word about what happened tonight.

The more Lin Wanning acted like this, the more nervous Mrs. Lu became.

She knew that she had acted too hastily and caused resentment in her daughter-in-law.

Mrs. Lu felt a little bitter. She did feel guilty when facing Lin Wanning, but what could she do?

She did not deny that she had concealed the matter between Lu Jingchen and Qin Ruo from Lin Wanning, and that she had done something unkind.

So after Lin Wanning entered the mansion, she tried every means to make up for it.

Unfortunately, his son Lu Jingchen refused to cooperate at all.

Today's incident caused a rift between the couple and even himself with Lin Wanning.

Mrs. Lu looked at Lu Jingchen who was still standing beside her, and anger appeared in her eyes again.

"What are you still standing there for? Go and follow him!"

Lu Jingchen came to his senses and followed him obediently.

Lin Wanning and Luzhu walked quickly, and when Lu Jingchen arrived at Xuezhu Courtyard, Lin Wanning and her servant had already entered the house.

Lu Jingchen stood at the door and hesitated for a while before walking into the house.

"Wan Ning, I..."

"It's getting late. I'm going to bed first."

Lin Wanning did not give him the chance to continue speaking. She kept her back to him and her tone was colder than ever before.

Lu Jingchen looked at the figure standing straight and felt uncomfortable.

When he finished washing up and lay down on the bed, Lin Wanning was already sleeping with her back to him.

Luzhu blew out the lights in the room and tiptoed out.

The couple lay on a bed in the dark, with their eyes open, at an angle where they couldn't see each other, and their thoughts surged like the tide.
