Chapter 12: My husband is really awesome~

Being tricked?

It's simply impossible.

Su Liyan did see that big mansion, and also the shop.

Besides, those new clothes and those little leather shoes are all safely placed inside the house.

Thirty pieces of money worth of things—Su Liyan watched her husband spend real money right beside her.

Moreover, before leaving, he gave her three pieces of money, saying that today, when she goes to Huangcheng, she should take a carriage so it'll be faster.

What could her own husband possibly deceive her about?

Even if she sold herself, she wouldn't be worth that much money, right?

The matchmaker still wanted to say something, but Su's mother drove her out.

Everyone in the family is resentful; this really almost pushed Su Liyan into a pit of fire.

Although Su Liyan wasn't raised in luxury from childhood, or rather, rural people don't have such a notion of being pampered.

But we can't just go and let her be bullied every day, can we?

What kind of situation is this?

Besides, this new son-in-law is really good.

If it weren't for the little leather shoes and coat Su Liyan brought back, the Su family would hardly believe she could find such a son-in-law.

After driving away the matchmaker, Su Liyan took her breakfast, didn't eat at home, went to find the carriage she'd arranged yesterday, and went straight into the city.

……

Lu Yuan slept straight through until dawn.

It was those shopkeepers knocking on the door that woke Lu Yuan up.

These shopkeepers all came with money and people; after giving the money, they directly told the assistants to go in and move things.

Lu Yuan then directly ran to the Forging Bureau to continue his leave.

There's nothing left of the stuff in this house; Lu Yuan doesn't need to watch over it.

Just let these people move things; anyway, I've already received the money.

……

"Hey kid, why are you asking for leave again?"

At the Forging Bureau, Lu Yuan's team leader looked at him with dissatisfaction.

And Lu Yuan raised his eyebrows, speaking righteously:

"I'm going to get married; today I'll go propose, tomorrow I'll come back to wed."

The team leader had a face full of question marks:

"Getting married??"

"Who is it??? Why didn't you, kid, make a sound when you got married??"

After saying that, the team leader also finished writing the leave slip for Lu Yuan.

Lu Yuan chuckled and then said:

"By then you'll know."

Having said that, Lu Yuan directly went back.

When he returned, it was around nine o'clock, and the stuff in the big compound still hadn't been moved completely.

These shopkeepers, some guarded the gate, some were in the courtyard, scolding the assistants to handle things gently and not break them.

Lu Yuan stood at the gate of the big compound, a cigarette in his mouth, waiting for them to finish moving.

"Eh? Brother? What are they doing?"

A soft, tender voice sounded behind Lu Yuan.

Lu Yuan turned his head and saw that absolutely beautiful face.

"You came pretty fast; I thought you'd only arrive at noon."

Gazing at Su Liyan before him, Lu Yuan was overjoyed; his wife really is beautiful no matter how you look, and her voice is pleasant to hear.

That soft, trailing voice almost hooked Lu Yuan's soul away.

And Su Liyan immediately pursed her lips and sweetly said:

"I got up early today, and I came by carriage, so I arrived quickly~"

After Su Liyan finished speaking, she strangely gazed at the assistants going in and out of her family's compound gate.

Seeing Su Liyan's puzzled expression, Lu Yuan also laughed and explained:

"We won't be living in this compound for a while, and everything inside is old junk others have used; if we leave it empty, we fear attracting thieves, so we sold it first, and when we're ready to move in, we'll buy new ones."

Hearing that, Su Liyan blinked strangely and said:

"We won't be living here in the future?"

Lu Yuan slightly nodded and said:

"Yes, this mansion is too big; just the two of us can't fill it, not to mention the key point: I'm not an official household nor a military one; living in such a big mansion would easily invite envy, you understand?"

Su Liyan, simple but not stupid, immediately nodded repeatedly and said:

"Brother, I understand; wealth should not be displayed~"

Seeing Su Liyan's well-behaved appearance, Lu Yuan also grinned and said:

"Yes~"

"Wait a few years until you give brother a few kids, and wait for Huangcheng to be more stable; then we'll move in amidst the hustle and bustle."

Upon hearing about having children, Su Liyan's absolutely beautiful face involuntarily flushed with a rosy glow.

Afterward, she bashfully nodded and said:

I'll listen to big brother~

Seeing Su Liyan like this, Lu Yuan felt an itch in his heart, really wanting to hold her in his arms right now and have a good time with her.

This is too charming.

Lu Yuan could also tell that Su Liyan really liked this courtyard, but since they couldn't live there now, he was surely a bit disappointed, and he immediately said:

"These things sold for over nine thousand, the shop is also rented out, and from now on the shop brings in over a hundred each month; even if we first live in the siheyuan, we'll still be living well."

"As long as you listen to big brother, from now on everything will be good days."

Lu Yuan didn't plan to hide from Su Liyan the fact that he sold things for over nine thousand; this is legitimate income, and even if the imperial court investigates, there's no problem.

Nine... over nine thousand?

And the shop will still... still bring in over a hundred each month??

These numbers are simply astronomical figures in Su Liyan's eyes.

This... so much money, how could it ever be spent completely...?

What kind of days will this be from now on??

After coming to her senses, Su Liyan immediately nodded and said:

"I will definitely listen to big brother~"

Seeing Su Liyan like this, Lu Yuan couldn't help but grin.

Before he could say anything, a shout came from not far away:

"Great nephew."

Huh?

Hearing this, Lu Yuan followed the sound and saw Wang Ping and five others, with sabers slung diagonally, wearing official uniforms, yawning as they walked toward him.

Lu Yuan was startled, then quickly went up to meet him with a smile, saying:

"Uncle, what's this?"

Wang Ping glanced at the shopkeepers and assistants by the gate, then said:

"We're changing shifts, we're going back to sleep; tonight, uncle, you won't be patrolling this area, but I've already told the night patrol here to keep a close watch on you."

Lu Yuan was startled, and he couldn't help but feel that Wang Ping was truly righteous.

Immediately, Lu Yuan laughed and said:

"Uncle, no need, we've moved everything out, we won't be staying here for a while, so we won't trouble you anymore."

Wang Ping had heard about this last night, and he gave a slight nod, saying:

"No matter what, this is the residence left by the old master; we can't let outsiders mess around, uncle will have people watch over it."

"Alright, I'm tired, uncle's leaving; if you have any business, come to the government office to find uncle. Although things aren't like before, uncle can't guarantee anything, but he'll definitely not let you be bullied."

Hearing this, Lu Yuan nodded repeatedly.

Wang Ping waved his hand and led the people away directly.

At that moment, Su Liyan beside him looked astonished and said:

"Brother, what is that?"

Lu Yuan glanced at Su Liyan beside him and then grinned, saying:

"They were my grandfather's soldiers; now I call them uncle."

Hearing this, Su Liyan blinked her beautiful eyes full of autumn water, feeling a surge of admiration.

My man is truly impressive, and there's even an uncle serving as an official?
