Chapter 51: Go Home

"Sugar gourd—"

"Buns—"

The streets of Yueyang are filled with fog, vendors pushing carts shouting in the crowd of early risers, and fishermen carrying fishing nets on their backs to the fishing boats parked by the lake.

On the road near the pier, two dignified and beautiful women walked together.

Mrs. Lu changed back to her old clothes, with a shawl on her shoulders and a small package on her back, walking with her head buried in restlessness, raising her hand from time to time to wipe her tears, like a little daughter-in-law who was kicked out of the house, which attracted the attention of many women.

The moon slave, who had not yet woken up, followed beside him with blank eyes, holding a small box containing jewelry and silver coins in his arms, and when he saw Mrs. Lu's appearance, he didn't dare to ask, until he walked near the dock, and then he had the courage to speak:

"Madame, where are we going?"

Mrs. Lu's eyes were in a trance: "Go back to the capital." ”

"Back to Chang'an? It's more than a thousand miles away from Chang'an......"

Yuenu grew up with Mrs. Lu since she was a child, even if she was a maid, she was also serving the daughter of the gate lord family, and she had never gone out alone at all. Mrs. Lu suddenly wanted to go back to the capital, so she didn't arrange a trip, she didn't bring the guards, and she still carried the jewelry with her, isn't this looking for robbery.

As a personal maid, the moon slave naturally had to consider Mrs. Lu's safety, so she raised her hand and grabbed Mrs. Lu's arm:

"Madam, it's just the two of us, and there are no guards, what should we do if we are sold......"

Mrs. Lu was in a state of confusion and thought for a while: "You go to the yamen to say hello, report Xiao Xiang's name, and let the yamen arrange an official boat to send me back." ”

Seeing that Mrs. Lu had made up her mind, Yue Nu persuaded softly: "Why do you suddenly want to go back to Chang'an, at least say hello to the little prince......

Mrs. Lu panicked when she heard Xu Buling: "Don't say hello to him, I have nothing to do with him, I won't be his aunt in the future...... You're going! Believe it or not, I'm just looking for someone on the street to marry you off? ”

"Alas......"

Yue Nu knew that Mrs. Lu was angry, and she didn't dare to say much, knowing that there must be guards watching behind, so she listlessly walked to the direction of Yueyang's yamen, turned around the corner of the street and stopped to look secretly, wanting to wait for Mrs. Lu to dissipate her anger before persuading.

People come and go on the long street, and the market is close at hand.

Mrs. Lu stood alone under the eaves of the street, as the daughter of the Lu family in Jinling, she had been held in the palm of her hand since the day she was born, and she hugged her before going out, and it was the first time she stood alone on the street like this.

is already beautiful, and naturally attracts people's attention, and many people look at her suspiciously.

Mrs. Lu was in a trance, and after noticing the gaze of passers-by, she remembered that there were no guards around. Maybe he didn't feel comfortable, turned around and walked to the corner of the eaves to hide, carrying a small package on his back and continuing to be stunned.

Mrs. Lu naturally remembered what happened last night, and after she came to her senses, she only felt that the sky had fallen, how could she do such a shameless thing......

Mrs. Lu felt cold when she thought about it a little, and she couldn't wait to throw herself into the lake to prove her innocence.

For a woman of a family, reputation and family majesty are far more important than life. The reason why Xiao Xiang'er wanted to seek death was because she was afraid of losing the face of the Huainan Xiao family.

Mrs. Lu is the same, she has lived alone in the Xiao family for ten years and has not crossed the Lei Chi, nor has there been half a word of gossip.

I thought I was very chaste, and I would never remarry in this life, and I would not lose my temper, and I would not even have this kind of thought.

But last night......

Mrs. Lu clearly remembered what she had said and done. After just drinking two glasses of wine, he couldn't control his mouth, and he actually told Ling'er about the Chinese New Year's Eve.

Ling'er didn't know before, she just thought she was drunk, as long as she didn't say it, no one in the world would know.

But now Ling'er knows......

If you know, you can use Xu Buling to explain that she was drunk at the time, but why did you describe it in front of Ling'er last night, and untie your clothes and ask Ling'er to repeat it......

Mrs. Lu stomped her foot lightly, and tears suddenly came out.

I have to admit that when I was half asleep and half awake in the past, I would indeed dream of the scene of Chinese New Year's Eve, and I also had a little aftertaste of that indescribable feeling in my heart.

But an idea is an idea, and as long as you don't do it, it doesn't exist.

Now that she has done the thing, she is still in front of Ling'er, Ling'er is sober, how will she behave in the future......

wanted to explain by being drunk and pretending not to remember, but she clearly remembered that she wasn't drunk at the time, but she just lost her mind and went crazy......

Ling'er even pushed the boat down the river and kissed her mouth......

This shows that Ling'er also has other thoughts about her aunt, and she doesn't treat her as an elder at all......

Mrs. Lu was really panicked, sobbed twice, and then squatted in the corner, hugging her knees and not knowing what to do.

She is responsible for taking care of Ling'er, and she is Ling'er's elder, how can she do such a thing......

Mrs. Lu bit her lower lip and was in a trance for a long, long time, and suddenly darkened a little in front of her, and a pair of snow-white boots appeared, the boots were made by her own hands, and they were very familiar.

"Aunt Lu?"

The familiar voice sounded from above, friendly and gentle, but at this time it sounded no longer as warm as before.

Mrs. Lu's body stiffened, and she hurriedly raised her hand to wipe the corners of her eyes, made a dignified and steady appearance in the past, and stood up: "Ling'er ......" As soon as the words came out, seeing the bright smile in front of her, she remembered the scene lying in Xu Buling's arms last night, and her voice choked for a while.

Xu Buling smiled kindly, looked down at Mrs. Lu with pear blossoms and rain, and said with a smile:

"Why do you suddenly want to go back to the capital? Can't you get tired of staying on board? ”

His expression was calm and unusual, not the slightest difference from the past, as if nothing had happened last night.

Mrs. Lu's eyes were red, her hands were folded on her waist, she didn't dare to look at Xu Buling, but said in a trembling voice:

"I'm going back to the capital, don't follow me......"

Xu Buling raised his hand to block the way, looked left and right, and there was no one around, so he got a little closer:

"Aunt Lu, did I get drunk again last night and make you angry? I can't remember......"

When Mrs. Lu heard this, she felt a little lucky in her heart, but soon the luck dissipated again.

She remembered it clearly, Xu Buling wasn't drunk at all last night, she took Xu Buling's hand and put it on her chest, obviously felt that Xu Buling's body was tight, and she was a little nervous, and her reaction and expression were clear, she deliberately seduced her......

Mrs. Lu's eyes were flustered, and she raised her hand and pushed Xu Buling:

"You let me go, I'm ...... I...... Whining...... How can I do anything ......"

Choked a few words, had no place to embarrass himself, and was about to hit the wall.

Xu Buling was quite helpless, raised his hand to hug Mrs. Lu, took out a handkerchief and wiped the corners of his eyes, and comforted softly:

"Aunt Lu was drunk last night, it's normal to lose her temper after drinking, I haven't been drunk either, don't take it to heart......"

I'm drunk......

I'm obviously not drunk, I remember everything......

But if you weren't drunk, how could you do that kind of ridiculous thing......

Mrs. Lu stared at Xu Buling's eyes, knowing that he was pretending, just to comfort herself, both of them remembered, and things were indeed done.

But no matter what happens, Mrs. Lu is reluctant to leave Xu Buling after all, she doesn't want to leave in this life, even if Xu Buling does more extreme things to her, what can she do except accept it in the end......

Mrs. Lu was silent for a long time, probably realizing that her feelings for Xu Buling had already changed, or that it was wrong from the beginning, but it was difficult to accept this fact, and finally followed this excuse and said in a trembling voice:

"You know I'm drunk?"

Xu Buling nodded seriously: "It must be drunk, Aunt Lu's temperament is known to everyone......"

Mrs. Lu took a few breaths, and suddenly the tone of her words changed, and she reprimanded with a glaring eye:

"Why didn't you stop me when you knew I was drunk?"

“?”

Xu Buling blinked, knowing that Aunt Lu was looking for himself to go down the stairs and throw the pot on his head, he naturally couldn't argue about this, and bowed his head and made a look of guilt and remorse:

"It's my ghost, can Aunt Lu forgive me?"

“……”

What else could Mrs. Lu say, with tears in the corners of her eyes, and said softly: "You are still young, you must pay attention to proportions in the future...... Yesterday I drank too much, so I thought it didn't happen, but don't tell anyone......"

Xu Buling nodded: "Ling'er knows his mistake." “

Mrs. Lu snorted, carrying a small package, a little unsure of what to do.

Xu Buling raised his hand to take the package, and chuckled:

"Let's go home, breakfast is ready, let's wait."

Mrs. Lu glanced at Xu Buling, hesitated for a moment, and turned around and walked in the direction of Lou Chuan.

The streets are noisy, and two people want to walk side by side, probably relatively silent when they get along for the first time.

Silence is not indifference, but a crack in the unshakable wall, and the sudden change makes people bewildered.

Mrs. Lu was silent, and Xu Buling didn't say much, just let her think about the situation of the two of them slowly.

Responsibility is always more important than desire, for Xu Buling, as long as they stay together forever, there is little difference in what kind of identity they are, and being too eager will only backfire.

When she returned to the building, Mrs. Lu gradually returned to her former appearance, dignified and demure and polite, and seemed to have forgotten everything about her arrival last night......
