Chapter 259 Finalized
"What could possibly happen to him?" Shang Wan yawned, resting his chin on the counter with one hand, "Xiao Huan, I want to eat the peach cakes you made."
Seeing that her sister was still in the mood to eat snacks, Xiaohuan immediately stopped worrying and thought her brother-in-law must be fine.
She walked to the backyard and said, "Wait a minute, sis. I'll do it right away."
Shang Wan said "hmm". She was indeed not worried. Before Lu Chengjing took action, he must have thought about the possibility of being suspected by the government. Given his personality, it was impossible for him not to prepare an excuse.
Just based on the suspicion of a guard, haha, without any evidence, how could the government convict Lu Chengjing?
Pointing at the counter with her fingertips, Shang Wan was now only worried about one thing: how to get the county magistrate to agree and recognize their chamber of commerce.
This must be done before going to the capital, otherwise it will only cause more trouble when you get there because you are unfamiliar with the place.
The beauty frowned and looked at the door, looking as if she was deep in thought. If someone was paying attention, it would seem that she was worried about Lu Chengjing.
Soon, rumors unfavorable to Lu Chengjing spread, but the rumors suddenly disappeared before they reached Shang Wan's ears.
In the dark alley, Chen Cai knocked the heads of the three thugs in front of him with a folding fan and said coldly: "You want to spread the news without going through me. If you don't know the rules, you don't have to use your tongue anymore."
The thugs were so scared that they burst into tears and kowtowed for mercy.
Chen Cai turned around and waved his hand gently, "Do it."
Two thugs came forward holding daggers.
Ignoring the noise behind him, Chen Cai walked out of the dark alley, twirling his folding fan, muttering quietly: "I'll remember the favor first, and I'll make that evil star pay it back later."
At night, the official personally sent Lu Chengjing to the gate of the Shang Mansion.
"Daddy!" Yuanyuan stood up from the doorstep, ran over with her short legs, and hugged Lu Chengjing's legs.
"Why are you sitting on the doorstep?" Lu Chengjing picked the person up and touched the little face and hands with his hands. He felt relieved when he felt that they were warm.
"Wait for Daddy." Yuanyuan smiled and hugged Daddy's neck, with her other little hand gesturing in the air, "Auntie made a piece of jade that can be stretched very long, waiting for Daddy to come back and eat it."
"It's sweet potato with sugar." Lu Chengjing walked in with the baby in his arms, and Xiao Hei followed him around.
He asked, "What is mother doing?"
"Mother is looking for the pretty aunt, she's not here."
Lu Chengjing paused and asked, "Which beautiful aunt?"
In his daughter's eyes, all aunts are beautiful aunts. After his daughter said that, Lu Chengjing really couldn't guess who it was.
"Xiaohua, Shushu, Tangtang..." Yuanyuan counted on her fingers. It was not that she couldn't remember, she was just too lazy to remember.
Fortunately, Lu Chengjing often heard his daughter talking about it, so he asked, "Is it Madam Hua, Madam Shu, Madam Tang and the others?"
"Yeah." Yuanyuan nodded her head.
Lu Chengjing now understood that his wife must have gone to see the sisters from Lancang Company to discuss the establishment of a chamber of commerce.
It's not appropriate for him to get involved in this matter.
He smiled and pinched her round little face, "Let's go eat candied taro."
"Great!" Yuanyuan waved her hands happily, saying, "Leave it to Mommy."
"it is good."
When Shang Wan came back, the family had already had dinner and were sitting in the living room listening to Yuanyuan reciting what Shitou had learned in the academy that day.
The stone was hit hard.
It’s the same brain, so how come he didn’t remember it after reading it four or five times, but Yuanyuan remembered it after listening to it once?
Is the new brain more useful?
"You're so great, baby." Xiaohuan hugged Yuanyuan and kissed her little face.
Yuanyuan chuckled, suddenly turned her head to look at the door, and shouted in a crisp little voice: "Mom!"
Shang Wan responded, and Lu Chengjing came over to help Shang Wan take off his cloak and asked, "Have you had dinner?"
Shang Wan shook his head, "What about you guys?"
"We've eaten." Shitou answered quickly.
Xiao Huan stood up: "Sister, what do you want to eat? I'll make it for you."
"Sliced noodles, add more chili." Shang Wan suddenly wanted to eat something spicy.
"Okay." Xiaohuan agreed and went to the kitchen.
Shitou looked around and went to the study before his sister could speak.
He would memorize this article even if he didn't sleep tonight! He just didn't believe it!
Yuanyuan trotted over to Shang Wan, stretched out her little hand and gently patted Shang Wan's belly, then greeted her sister in a soft voice.
The little baby has made up her mind that as soon as her little sister comes out of her mother’s belly, she will take her little sister to meet her friends. Hu Hu and the others will definitely like her little sister!
As for whether her sister would like the big tiger, I’m sorry, Yuanyuan hasn’t considered this issue for the time being.
Lu Chengjing helped Shang Wan sit down, picked up the kettle and poured a cup of hot tea and placed it next to Shang Wan.
Shang Wan held Yuanyuan on his lap and teased her for a while before asking, "Is the case closed?"
"Yes." Lu Chengjing nodded. "Since the county magistrate knew that Lu Chengyuan had been abandoned by the Wang family and he committed suicide, why would he delay? The journey to the capital is long, so the guard bought a coffin and buried Lu Chengyuan in the Lu family's ancestral tomb."
When the Lu family left in a panic, their ancestral tomb was not taken away, so it is much easier now.
Shang Wan said: "When the news reaches the capital, we will probably be on our way there."
Lu Chengjing hummed softly, and seeing Yuanyuan reaching out to grab the teacup, he poured another cup of warm water and fed her a little at a time.
Seeing Lu Chengjing's indifferent attitude, Shang Wan shook her head secretly. What was she worrying about?
She took two sips of the teacup and turned to talk about the results of the discussion she had just had with the girls.
"Sister Shu has come up with a plan that might make the county magistrate agree."
Lu Chengjing looked up and asked curiously, "What trick?"
Shang Wan chuckled: "You know that the county magistrate is henpecked, right?"
Lu Chengjing nodded, and everyone in the city knew about this.
"Sister Shu wants to get the county magistrate's wife to join the group." Shang Wan smiled, "Then we won't have to ask for it. His wife will be able to force the county magistrate to agree."
Pillow talk is still very important.
Seeing Lu Chengjing frowning slightly, Shang Wan stopped smiling and asked, "Is this method not working?"
Lu Chengjing shook his head. "It's absolutely impossible. If you really bring the county magistrate's wife into the group, the position of president of your chamber of commerce will probably fall on her."
He was worried that Shang Wan and others would be busy for a while but end up making wedding clothes for others.
"Probably not." Shang Wan said, "Sister Shu has already inquired about it. That lady is not the type to like to manage things. She has put all her energy into preventing the county magistrate from taking a concubine. She even lets her brothers from her natal family run her own shop."
Lu Chengjing always thought a lot and asked, "What if she suddenly wants to take care of it?"
"Well..." Shang Wan had never thought about this question. She rubbed her round little face and said, "Sister Shu has sent someone to give the lady a visiting card. We'll talk about it after we meet her in person tomorrow."
"That's fine." Lu Chengjing believed in his wife's judgment of people.
"Sister, the sliced noodles are ready, eat them while they're hot." Xiaohuan came in with a tray. A large bowl was filled with sliced noodles. The red color alone suggested that they were quite spicy.
Shang Wan didn't bother to talk to Lu Chengjing anymore and focused on eating noodles.
