The little drama queen is both capricious and naughty, but her military officer husband insists on s

Lu Yanxun knew that his younger sister had a stubborn streak and would not give up until she achieved her goal.

Even if you don't tell her to go, she'll still go.

If you go there, they might say some unpleasant things that will make you angry.

Lu Yanxun considered for a moment and said to his younger sister, "I can refuse to see her, and you can pass on a message for me, but I have one condition."

Lu Yanting turned to look at her brother, "What are the conditions?"

"You can't say hurtful things. Just convey my exact words to her and tell her that I said it. If you agree to this condition, I'll let you go and say it."

Lu Yanting pouted awkwardly, "I didn't say anything hurtful. Don't look down on me. Humph, I agreed, so who do you think you are? I will definitely do it well."

Lu Yanxun said calmly, "Alright, tell Su Xinyue tomorrow that I'm already married and that she shouldn't write to me anymore."

Lu Yanting suppressed the smile that was almost bursting from the corners of her mouth and nodded seriously: "Okay, I'll pass on your words tomorrow, but you have to keep your word."

“I will do it,” Lu Yanxun replied.

The brother and sister finalized the matter so simply and quickly.

Seeing how serious Lu Yanxun was, Jiang Zao worried that if he made a mistake, it would cause a rift between the siblings.

Oh, it doesn't matter if they're siblings who've fallen out. They're still siblings, after all, blood is thicker than water.

The important thing is that Jiangzao is afraid of being implicated if things go wrong.

All she wanted was to give birth peacefully, finish her postpartum confinement, recover her health, and then run away with the huge sum of money.

To avoid being implicated in the future, Jiang Zao tried to stop Lu Yanting from relaying a message to Su Xinyue: "Little sister, we can talk things over. Actually, I don't care at all about your brother being with other women..."

“I do care,” Lu Yanting interrupted her coldly.

She stubbornly turned her head away: "I'm not doing this for you, but for my little nephew and niece, so you don't need to persuade me anymore, I won't listen to you."

My sister-in-law has gone to such lengths to appease her brother.

Is she stupid?

That's absolutely ridiculously stupid!

Jiang Zao remained silent.

I thought to myself, you meddlesome little girl, when your nephew's biological mother gets kicked out, it'll most likely be your fault!

But seeing that Lu Yanting was unyielding, she simply gave up trying to persuade her.

She pulled Lu Yanxun inside to talk later.

Then we'll have Lu Yanxun and Su Xinyue move their couple activities from the public eye to the private world.

Don't let Lu Yanting know.

“Little Zao’er, Xiao Xun said he will never see her again, so don’t force yourself to pretend to be generous anymore. I know you’re suffering inside.”

Great-grandmother looked at Jiang Zao with affection, "Good child, it's really too much of a hardship for you to marry into our Lu family."

“Great-Grandma, please don’t say that. I’m not wronged at all.” Jiang Zao shook her head and said sincerely, “Yan Xun is much more wronged than I am.”

Great-grandmother disagreed: "What is there for him to feel wronged about? He's overjoyed to have married such a wonderful wife like you."

Jiang Zao felt like laughing.

She bit her lip in time to prevent herself from laughing out loud.

Jiang Zaoxin thought to herself, "Great-Grandma, you have no idea how wronged your precious great-grandson was, did you? When I abused him, he cried out to heaven and earth in vain. He was probably so wronged that he even wanted to die, hehe."

"I am very grateful to see that you can forgive him without holding a grudge," the great-grandmother said again.

Jiang Zao was flattered: "Great-Grandma, please don't say that. We are husband and wife, and the parents of our unborn child. It's only right that we understand each other."

Great-Grandma nodded repeatedly, moved: "Yes, you're right. I'm so glad you think that way."

"Xiao Xun," Great-Grandma called to Lu Yanxun, and said to him, "You've struck gold by marrying Xiao Zao'er. From now on, you can only be good to her and you're not allowed to hurt her in any way."

Lu Yanxun remained silent for a long time, neither answering nor refuting.

It's unclear whether it's a silent protest or a silent acquiescence.

What Jiangzao saw was, of course, a silent protest.

You can't just agree to something like that.

But in Great-Grandma's heart, Lu Yanxun's actions were a silent acquiescence, a meaning she was ashamed to express but acknowledged in her heart.

In any case, today's conversation was satisfactory to all parties.

After finishing his tea, Lu Mingrui got up from the dining table.

"Grandma, it's getting late. Now that we've said everything we needed to say, you can rest assured and go back to your room to rest."

Lu Yanting quickly stood up. "Great-Grandma, let me help you back to your room."

Great-grandmother didn't say anything more.

She watched the two reconcile and left contentedly.

After Great-Grandma left, Lu Mingrui said to the others, "Everyone must be tired today, so please rest. Yanxun, you take Xiaozao back to your room too."

"Understood," Lu Yanxun replied.

Lu Mingrui glanced at them one last time, then left without saying a word.

After Great-Grandma and Lu Mingrui left, the atmosphere became visibly much more relaxed.

Lu Yanwei said in a good mood, "I've put some water on the stove, sister-in-law, let me bring it to you to wash up first."

Lu Yanxun straightened Jiang Zao's body: "I'll do it."

Lu Yanwei refused, saying, "I'll do it. Brother, you carry your sister-in-law to the bathroom."

"No need to carry me anymore." Jiang Zao sat up quickly and said very consciously, "I can do it myself..."

Before she could finish speaking, Lu Yanxun picked her up.

Just as Jiang Zao was about to say something, she suddenly remembered that the two of them hadn't yet broken out of character.

Had to give up.

She even deliberately wrapped her arms around Lu Yanxun's neck in a cheesy way, nestled in his arms, and said in a coquettish tone, "Thank you, you're so good to me."

As Jiang Zao's soft body pressed against his chest, Lu Yanxun instantly stiffened.

As soon as the coquettish voice came out, Lu Yanxun's face darkened.

Jiang Zao was nestled in his arms and couldn't see him, but Lu Yanting, who had just come out of her great-grandmother's room, could see her brother's expression clearly.

Lu Yanting mentally cursed Jiang Zao for being so stupid, then glared fiercely at her brother.

She cursed him inwardly: "He really has one face in front of others and another behind their backs! What a bad man!"

She didn't believe her brother would really never see Sister Xiaoyue again.

No, she needs to keep a close eye on this.

The houses in the family compound have private bathrooms, one upstairs and one downstairs, but there is only cold water and no hot water. You have to boil water to take a bath or wash your face.

Lu Yanxun, his body tense, carried Jiang Zao into the downstairs bathroom.

He put the person on the chair and turned to leave.

Jiang Zao had something she wanted to ask him and couldn't wait to ask.

She grabbed his sleeve and pulled him back, saying, "Wait a minute, I haven't asked you yet..."

Lu Yanxun, with his back to Jiang Zao, said, "I'll go get some water."

Jiang Zao couldn't see his expression, but she could hear his indifferent tone.

She was a little unsure and carefully chose her words: "I'll just ask one question first, and the rest later, but this one is very important."

"Hmm." Still neither warm nor cold.

Jiang Zao craned her neck and tilted her head to look at Lu Yanxun's profile, but unfortunately she still couldn't see his expression:

"Aren't we still the most steadfast allies?"

Lu Yanxun seemed to hesitate for a moment.

But in the end, he said only one word: "Yes."

Jiang Zao was relieved, and her tone immediately relaxed: "That's good, go and get the water."

Lu Yanxun turned around and glanced at her.

But he left without saying anything.

Jiangzao is very tired today, and she starts to feel sleepy when she is alone.

As soon as Lu Yanxun left, she couldn't help but start to doze off.

Lu Yanxun brought in two buckets of water, but she was still unconscious.

After adjusting the water temperature, Lu Yanxun tested it with his hand and found the temperature to be just right before waking the person up.

Jiang Zao woke up groggily, looking at Lu Yanxun with sleepy eyes.

Still not fully conscious: "What?"

"You can take a shower now."

"Oh."

Jiang Zao nodded and yawned.

After sitting quietly for a few seconds, my consciousness gradually returned.

"Why aren't you going out yet?" Jiang Zao asked, looking at Lu Yan who was standing still.

Lu Yanxun turned his head slightly, avoiding looking at Jiang Zao.

His voice was stiff: "You're all alone."

Jiang Zao didn't catch Lu Yanxun's tone. "Yes, I'm alone. You can go out now."

Lu Yanxun remained standing still.

When Jiangzao saw the steaming hot water, she also wanted to take a hot bath and change her clothes as soon as possible.

But she didn't have a change of clothes.

"I didn't bring any change of clothes, I'll go get them." Jiang Zao propped herself up on the chair to get up.

Lu Yanxun finally made a move.

But instead of going out, he reached out and pressed down on Jiang Zao's shoulder: "Don't move, I'll go get it."

Pressed firmly down by Lu Yanxun's large hand, Jiang Zao could only sit back in her chair: "Do you know where it is?"

Lu Yanxun didn't say anything and went straight out.

After the person left, Jiang Zao stared at the bathroom door and muttered to herself, "Why are you in such a bad mood?"

"But that makes sense. Being criticized in front of the whole family today and being threatened and forced not to see your sweetheart in the future, how could you be in a good mood?"

Jiang Zao expressed her understanding of Lu Yanxun's feelings.

So she planned to talk to him about his relationship with Su Xinyue after she finished showering and returned to her room.

Hopefully, she and Lu Yanxun can continue to work together happily, just like they did at her family home.

"Brother, what are you doing out here?" Lu Yanwei asked when she saw her brother come out of the bathroom. "Aren't you going to shower with your wife?"

Lu Yanxun had originally planned to ask Lu Yanwei for help, "Weiwei, go inside and find me some of her clothes."

"okay."

Lu Yanwei responded and ran into her brother and sister-in-law's room.

A short while later, he came out carrying several pieces of clothing.

Lu Yanwei shoved all the clothes into her brother's arms: "Brother, I also took yours."

Lu Yanxun wanted to say that he didn't need clothes for the time being.

But after thinking about it, she didn't say anything and took her clothes back to the bathroom.

Lu Yanting walked over, peeked into the bathroom doorway a few times, and asked softly, "Are they going to take a shower together?"

Lu Yanwei replied matter-of-factly, "Otherwise what? Shouldn't they shower together?"

“We should shower together, but I feel like my brother doesn’t want to shower with his wife.” Lu Yanting said thoughtfully.

Lu Yanwei asked in confusion, "Why do you think that? I don't think so. My brother even personally brought my sister-in-law bathwater, and he just asked me to find clothes for her. Didn't you see that?"

“An illusion,” Lu Yanting commented sharply. “This is an illusion created by a bad man.”

Lu Yanting, acting as if only she had seen through it, sneered, "It's all a smokescreen."

Lu Yanwei felt that Lu Yanting was nitpicking: "Are you overthinking it? I'm not that kind of person."

"Then what kind of person do you think he is?" Lu Yanting's eyes darted around as she looked at her sister and said, "I think he's a bad guy."

"But you're my lackey, so I'm not going to talk to you." After saying that, Lu Yanting rolled her eyes, snorted, and walked away.

Lu Yanwei was left standing there in a daze.

But she quickly came to her senses and hurried after her younger sister: "Lu Yanting, come back and explain yourself! Am I the only one who's my brother's lackey? Aren't you? Who was it that insisted on serving that bowl of porridge today? And deliberately used such a big bowl to fill it so full. When my brother was feeding my sister-in-law the porridge, why didn't you say it was a bad man's trick? Tell me! You stop right there and explain yourself!"

While tidying up in the kitchen, Su Xiufen secretly listened to the sounds outside.

Hearing her two daughters arguing and leaving, she tidied up the kitchen.

I went to the small study and found Lu Mingrui, who was looking at blueprints.

"Dad, what did you talk about with Yan Xun back then?" Su Xiufen asked curiously.

"We didn't talk about anything." Lu Mingrui said without looking up.

Su Xiufen simply snatched the blueprints from his hand. "You two have been in the study for so long, and you haven't talked about anything?"

The blueprints were taken away, and Lu Mingrui finally looked up.

He replied casually, "We just chatted for a bit about his work over the past six months."

Su Xiufen, of course, didn't believe it. She leaned against her desk, her face stern, and said, "What about today's events? You couldn't have said nothing, could you?"

Lu Mingrui said unhurriedly, "We said a few words, but nothing special. I just told him that now that he's back, he should take good care of Xiaozao. He's about to become a father, so he should cut off any inappropriate relationships outside."

"Then what did he say?"

He said he had no inappropriate relationships outside the home.

Su Xiufen frowned immediately upon hearing this: "He's not telling you the truth either?"

"What is the truth?" Lu Mingrui looked up at her. "Don't you trust your own son?"

Su Xiufen said worriedly, "It's not that I don't trust him, but after all, he grew up with Xiaoyue from the Su family. They spent all their time together when they were little, you know that."

Lu Mingrui disagreed: "That was all in the past when they were kids. The Su family moved away years ago."

Lu Mingrui paused and then said, "Besides, if our son says it's not true, then it's definitely not true. I believe my son, and you are his mother, so you should believe him too. Don't listen to Tingting's nonsense. She's just a child, what does she know?"

Su Xiufen felt that her husband's words made sense.

After a moment of silence, he asked another question: "You told him to take good care of Xiaozao, what was his response?"

He said he understood.

"anything else?"

"Gone."

"They didn't say anything else?"

Lu Mingrui snatched the blueprints back from Su Xiufen's hands: "You know your son's temper. He won't say anything he doesn't want to say, but he will do what he promises."

"Yes, that's true." Su Xiufen nodded, a little relieved. "These past two days, I've noticed he's not as resistant to Xiaozao anymore. He must have realized he's about to become a father."

"Hey? Did you ask him how he feels about Xiaozao now?" Su Xiufen asked again.

Lu Mingrui lowered his head and continued studying the blueprints: "I didn't ask about this. If you want to know, go ask him yourself."

Su Xiufen: "How could I dare to ask? Besides, even if I did ask, he wouldn't tell me."

Lu Mingrui looked up at her and said, "Isn't that it? You know he won't tell you even if you ask, so why ask? If you ask me, don't ask anything. Let the children live their own lives. We used to do the same thing. We kept things to ourselves and didn't like to talk to our parents."
