Quick Transmigration Sweet Story, The White Moonlight Rescue Plan

Lu Zhao was pushed by Xiao Xiao and hid in the closet.

Seeing He Chen sweep his gaze around like a god of death, Lu Zhao felt a chill run down his spine.

She only slowly emerged from the cabinet after He Chen left.

The wardrobe was full of women's personal clothing. Lu Zhao, a grown man, was blushing and dared not look around. In his haste to get down, a purse embroidered with mandarin ducks playing in the water fell out of a hidden compartment in the wardrobe.

The embroidery of the mandarin ducks was crooked and uneven, but judging from the filling marks, it was done with care.

Lu Zhao picked up the familiar-looking purse, lost in thought, until Xiao Xiao, blushing, snatched it away from him.

Lu Zhao suddenly remembered that this purse seemed to have been specially brought to him from Nanhu by Xiaoxiao a few years ago, and even the silk thread on it was brought to her from Beicheng by him.

At that time, the two were still very close. Lu Zhao leaned against the window and jokingly asked Xiao Xiao, "Which young man are you planning to give this to? Your embroidery is so ugly! I'm afraid he won't want it!"

All I remember is that Xiaoxiao blushed and scolded him for being boring that day.

Lu Zhao felt a sweet warmth in his heart. The embroidered pattern under the purse was the same color as the robe he usually wore, clearly made for him.

His purse happened to be broken, and young girls would secretly give it to him, but he would always carry the tattered purse when he went to play with Xiaoxiao.

Over time, he tricked the kind-hearted girl into believing that no one liked him.

He didn't ask, and she didn't say.

The two tacitly believed that the purse would represent their feelings and would surely reach the other's ears.

Xiao Xiao excitedly took the embroidered purse to see Lu Zhao, only to find that Lu Zhao had taken a purse embroidered by He Nianxin. The two of them smiled broadly at the colors of the purse.

That smile deeply stung Xiaoxiao's eyes.

Xiao Xiao turned and left, holding back her tears, without mentioning when she would finish embroidering her purse.

Lu Zhao felt embarrassed to ask too many questions, as if he were begging Xiao Xiao to embroider a purse, so he stopped asking.

"You've finished embroidering it, why didn't you give it to me?" Lu Zhao stared at the purse in Xiao Xiao's hand, unable to calm down for a long time.

Xiao Xiao shooed him away impatiently, "What are you looking at? It's not for you."

Lu Zhao took a breath and asked through gritted teeth, "Didn't you ask me for fabric and thread because you saw my purse was damaged?"

"So what? Didn't you give it to He Nianxin too?"

Back then, to avoid suspicion, Lu Zhao couldn't just bring something for Xiao Xiao, so he also brought something for He Nianxin.

"He Nianxin embroidered one for you, what do you need me for?"

The young woman turned her face away, her eyes slightly red, and her voice was muffled, sounding somewhat aggrieved.

Lu Zhao's heart tightened. So that's how it is. He hurriedly explained, "He Nianxin's purse wasn't for me."

I just wanted to give you a reference, in case you get a headache from trying to come up with all sorts of patterns.

"I don't believe you. You men never tell the truth. I don't want to see you right now. Go back." Xiao Xiao pushed Lu Zhao and drove him out without any mercy.

Lu Zhao was locked out of the room. He pounded on the door and said urgently, "Xiao Xiao, it's really not true, you have to believe me."

"Your Highness should leave. If my father has gone around in circles and still hasn't found you, he'll have to turn back."

The little woman inside the door replied coldly.

Looking at the closed gate, Lu Zhao gritted his teeth and turned to discuss a solution with his father, Lu Yuxuan.

……

"You wretched child, kneel down before your father-in-law!" Lu Yuxuan feigned anger and kicked Lu Zhao to his knees, glancing furtively at his fiercely protective old friend.

Lu Zhao obediently knelt down, his attitude upright: "Your son-in-law is here to apologize to your father-in-law."

He Chen ignored Lu Zhao's words and instead sneered, "Father-in-law, you dare not presume to do this. I have no authority over the young master of the Marquis's mansion."

Lu Yuxuan and He Chen were old friends who had gone through life and death together, so he naturally knew that his old friend was still angry. He didn't force the issue and planned to use a roundabout tactic, "Since this has already happened and the two children are grown up, we can't always control them, can we?"

"Why don't we let the two children get to know each other first? If it doesn't work out, we'll find another way. If this gets out to people with ulterior motives, it will definitely damage Xiaoxiao's reputation."

In ancient times, a woman's reputation was highly valued. He Chen was so angry that she pointed at Lu Zhao's nose and cursed him in front of so many people.

Xiao Xiao was prettier than other girls from birth, so He Chen took great precautions, even dressing her up as a boy, for fear that she would be targeted by thieves.

I thought that the Lu family's son and Xiaoxiao had always been at odds, so I let them go out and have fun. Little did I know that they were using a roundabout approach and had a plan all along.

He Chen couldn't swallow this insult. "Lu Yuxuan, don't think I don't know what you're thinking, you old bald monk. When Xiaoxiao was little, she liked to bring your son to my place. Don't think I didn't know."

Lu Yuxuan pulled He Chen aside to comfort him, "Father-in-law, calm down, calm down. You said that among all the civil officials, only our two families are military officers. Of those pedantic ministers, I naturally get along with you and naturally want to form a marriage alliance with you."

He Chen was also straightforward, and when he saw Lu Yuxuan, he didn't beat around the bush. Although he was angry, he thought that what Lu Yuxuan said wasn't unreasonable.

The two families live so close to each other, and the Lu family doesn't have those complicated rules, so their daughter won't have a hard life after marrying into the family.

After much hesitation, I decided to let the two of them get to know each other first.
