Chapter 1743
After eating, Lu Zhenghong let Su Xinghui enter his study. This time, the matter in Changshan had settled down, but there were some details Lu Zhenghong still needed to ask Su Xinghui about.
Before Su Xinghui entered the study, he was still a bit anxious in his heart. He really didn't know how to tell Lu Zhenghong about the Wang Liu part. But the part between Wang Liu and Jiang Zhongping was the turning point of the whole matter and couldn't be ignored.
He told the whole matter to Lu Zhenghong. Of course, he used "spring and autumn brushwork" for the Wang Liu part, only saying that Jiang Zhongping was blinded by lust. After Lu Zhenghong heard it, he just nodded. The result of this matter still made Lu Zhenghong quite satisfied.
After this battle, Tian Chengzhu should be quiet for a while.
Lu Zhenghong said, "Xinghui, after New Year's Day, you are going to take Xiaoya back, right?"
Su Xinghui nodded and said, "Yes, this matter has been resolved. It's better to let Xiaoya return to Changshan. The climate in Changshan is better than in Jiangcheng and is very suitable for Xiaoya to recuperate there."
The climate in Changshan was really much better than in Jiangcheng. In Jiangcheng, it was hot enough to die in summer and cold enough to die in winter. But Changshan was different. The climate in Changshan County was relatively mild—not cold in winter and not hot in summer—and the air was fresh. If Lu Xiaoya recuperated in Changshan County, it would naturally be much better than in Jiangcheng.
It was the end of December, and the weather in Jiangcheng was already very cold. The cold here was the kind of damp cold. That pervasive dampness would always ignore how many clothes you wore, drill into your clothes from the gap between your clothes and your body, making you cold to the bone and making you shiver.
Lu Zhenghong nodded and said, "Alright, you go after New Year's Day."
After finishing talking with Lu Zhenghong, Su Xinghui accompanied Lu Xiaoya out for a walk. In fact, walking outside in such weather didn't make people feel comfortable. The weather was cold, but Lu Xiaoya was pregnant and couldn't stay at home sitting still every day; she also needed to take a walk often.
Lu Xiaoya wore a down jacket, Su Xinghui held her hand, and the couple walked around the provincial committee compound for more than ten minutes before going home. The weather was too cold, and they were by the lake, with lake winds blowing, so it wasn't suitable to stay for a long time.
At night, the couple slept in the same bed for the first time in nearly a month. Lu Xiaoya used her mouth and hands to help Su Xinghui vent once and asked, "Have you been honest this month?"
Su Xinghui said, "Can't you tell whether I'm honest or not?"
Lu Xiaoya said, "Even if you weren't honest, I wouldn't be able to tell."
Su Xinghui said, "If I weren't honest, you can do whatever you want."
Lu Xiaoya said, "What can I do? Even if you weren't honest, I wouldn't be able to bear doing anything to you!"
Su Xinghui gently hugged Lu Xiaoya into his arms and sighed, "Haven't been with my wife for so long; only now do I feel that having a wife is really good!"
The couple hugged each other very warmly. After more than ten minutes, Lu Xiaoya suddenly asked, "Did the investigation team leave?"
Su Xinghui was stunned all at once. How did Lu Xiaoya know about the investigation team? He answered, "The investigation team hasn't left yet, but it has nothing to do with me anymore. How did you know there was an investigation team?"
Lu Xiaoya said, "You think I'm so easy to fool? After I returned home, I saw Grandma didn't have any major problems, so I knew this matter wasn't that simple. I made a phone call to ask a colleague, and the colleague told me that the city sent an investigation team and was investigating you."
Su Xinghui was a bit embarrassed and asked, "Then why didn't you ask me about this matter every time I called you?"
Lu Xiaoya said, "I knew you let me go home so I wouldn't worry, so naturally I wouldn't let you worry either. That's why I wouldn't ask you. During this period, I didn't call my colleague again to ask anything, but I have 100% confidence in you. You absolutely wouldn't have any problems. Now that you've come to pick me up, it proves you're fine."
Su Xinghui said, "My wife is really smart."
Lu Xiaoya said, "Then you're fine, why hasn't the investigation team left yet?"
Su Xinghui said, "I'm fine, but County Magistrate Zhao and County Magistrate Fang have problems, so the investigation team hasn't left yet and is investigating them."
Lu Xiaoya asked, "How did this happen? Tell me properly."
Su Xinghui told her briefly and concisely about what happened during this period. Of course, he wouldn't tell Lu Xiaoya that Fang Qing's matter was designed by him and Yu Ruizhi. Although they were husband and wife, they couldn't tell each other everything. He also didn't want to pollute Lu Xiaoya's ears with these conspiracies, so he told Lu Xiaoya about Fang Qing's matter as a coincidence.
Lu Xiaoya didn't feel it was very thrilling, mainly because Su Xinghui omitted some details, and Lu Xiaoya knew Su Xinghui too well. She knew Su Xinghui was tough in both economic and work-style aspects and absolutely wouldn't have any problems. With such confidence, she naturally wouldn't worry about Su Xinghui.
Of course, hearing that the investigation into Su Xinghui had ended and the organization had already made a conclusion, Lu Xiaoya was still very happy.
Lu Xiaoya asked, "Then you drove that Mercedes-Benz over today, won't there be any problems?"
Su Xinghui said, "The organization has already made a conclusion; what problems could there be? Besides, you have to go to the hospital for prenatal checkups often, so we still need to use this car."
Lu Xiaoya thought about it, nodded, and said, "Hmm, as long as you're fine, that's the best. Alright, I'm tired, let's sleep."
The two rested in each other's arms. Lu Xiaoya soon fell asleep, letting out rhythmic snoring. Looking at Lu Xiaoya lying in his arms, Su Xinghui's heart was full of happiness.
The next day was New Year's Day. At noon that day, the family had a very sumptuous lunch. After eating, Lu Zhenghong said, "Xinghui, you take Xiaoya back to Shangjun today. You haven't been home for so long; you should go home."
Although Grandma Lu and Song Qiaoli were a bit reluctant, they knew Lu Zhenghong was right. Xiaoya had been living at home for a month, and Su Xinghui hadn't been home for this month either. Their family naturally missed the young couple very much. Now it was the New Year's Day holiday; they couldn't be so selfish and should let the young couple go back to Shangjun to see.
Grandma Lu and Song Qiaoli both said to let the young couple go back to Shangjun to see. So, Lu Xiaoya packed her things, Su Xinghui helped her pack everything, put them in the car, said goodbye to the family, and drove to Shangjun County.
Before they set off, Su Xinghui called home. Su Wenjun and his wife were overjoyed to know they were returning. Originally, there were quite a few dishes at home for New Year's Day, so they went to the vegetable market to buy some dishes the young couple liked to eat and also called Su Xingyun's family back.
After the young couple arrived home, Lu Xiaoya wanted to go to the kitchen to help Guo Suhua, but how could Guo Suhua let her do it? She said Lu Xiaoya was in a special period now and had just ridden in a car for so long, so she let her go to the living room to rest.
Su Xinghui let Lu Xiaoya go to the living room to sit, and he went to the kitchen to help Guo Suhua.
Guo Suhua asked, "Xinghui, why did Xiaoya go to Jiangcheng to live for a month last time?"
Su Xinghui said, "Xiaoya's grandmother was a bit uncomfortable and missed Xiaoya very much, so she let her go back to live for a period of time."
Guo Suhua said in surprise, "Then why didn't you tell me when I called you? I could have gone to see her grandmother."
Su Xinghui said, "Her grandmother's body didn't have any major problems; it was just a cold, so I didn't say anything, fearing you would worry."
Guo Suhua then nodded with relief. Fortunately, Shangjun County was far from Changshan County, and the matter of Su Xinghui being investigated by the city didn't reach Guo Suhua's ears. Otherwise, she would have been worried to death.
During the meal, Guo Suhua and Su Xingyun desperately put dishes into Lu Xiaoya's bowl, letting her eat more, and kept asking how Lu Xiaoya felt now.
