Wishful Things

"I've never heard of it." She said immediately.

"Really." Xu Ying looked at her with a look of inquiry in her eyes.

She always felt that the other party was lying.

Lu's eyes faltered, subconsciously trying to grab something to calm his mind, but the stone table was empty, not even a cup of tea.

The maid next to her knew her best, and immediately looked at the woman not far away, frowning and said: "Is there no tea in your courtyard? Is this the way of hospitality of Jingya Ji's family?"

Ordinary people naturally wouldn't dare to have these many demands in the back office of the government, but their Xia family naturally didn't have to have those scruples.

The mother-in-law replied: "What a coincidence, there is indeed no boiling water in the courtyard. Please forgive me, Second Young Mistress Xia."

The servant girl was so angry that her face became ugly again.

What kind of nonsense is this?

——Does she need to open her mouth to teach the other party that the problem of no boiling water can be solved by boiling water?

But it's impossible for the same woman to care about her, so the maid can only suppress her anger.

The mother-in-law pouted secretly in her heart.

The other party was pregnant, so she didn't dare to bring food and drink to her. If something went wrong, who would she turn to for reasoning?

As the saying goes, be careful sailing for thousands of years.

Listening to the conversation between the maid and the mother-in-law, Mrs. Lu, who had never been neglected before, felt a little displeased.

But right now she has no time to take care of that.

"...I don't know who Xu Su was mentioned by Ms. Xu just now? Why does Ms. Xu think that I have heard of this name?" Mrs. Lu thought over and over again, and finally asked tentatively.

Her eyes looked as if they were merely puzzled.

"That's my sister, who disappeared three years ago."

Xu Ying looked at Lu's eyebrows and said, "Speaking of which, she looks quite similar to Young Mistress Xia, especially her eyes."

Lu's expression changed slightly upon hearing this.

three years ago?

She married her husband only two years ago—

She still remembers how overjoyed she was when she learned that this marriage was settled—the second son of the Xia family is a first-class noble son in Beijing, a well-known talented man, and he is clean and self-sufficient. After more than twenty years, she has not been engaged, because her career is the most important thing.

Who can not be tempted by such an outstanding and calm man?

What's more, the Lu family was far from the only one who wanted to marry the Xia family at that time, and there were many people with better backgrounds than their Lu family.

But the Xia family chose her.

And she remembered that she once had a relationship with the second son of the Xia family at a poetry meeting.

So, she guessed, it was love at first sight...

She married him with great joy.

And the husband and wife have been in harmony for the past two years, and she can hardly find anything wrong with her husband's treatment of her.

until one day...

He who has always been self-disciplined did not know why he drank alcohol. After she served him and rested, he heard a name from his mouth when he was drunk at night—Xu Su.

That was the first time she heard that name.

And not long after, she became suspicious of her husband, fearing that he had someone else in her heart, and by accident, she saw that name in another place... One stroke after another, it was obviously her husband's handwriting.

She didn't even know whether it was a male or female name, but she had always remembered it in her heart. After many days and nights of suspicion, it had become a thorn.

And now, she finally knows.

It turned out that it was a woman, and a young woman who looked similar to her!

No……

Lu smiled self-deprecatingly in his heart.

The other party is in the front and she is in the back. In the eyes of her husband, I'm afraid he still doesn't know who looks like whom.

"What did Second Young Mistress Xia think of now?" Xu Ying looked at the other party's changing eyes and asked aloud.

Lu shook his head.

"I just thought about it carefully. I have never heard of this name before. If Miss Xu wants to find out about Lingmei's whereabouts from me, I'm afraid she will be disappointed."

As he said that, he looked at Xu Ying and said, "It was just my suggestion, maybe Miss Xu should think about it carefully."

Xu Ying was also looking at her.

The other party clearly thought of something, but she still didn't forget to share her husband's worries, she was really a competent and good wife.

"There is nothing to consider, the only thing I need is a truth and justice."

"Since Ms. Xu is determined to go her own way, you and I don't need to waste our words anymore." Shi Lu stood up and said in a cold voice: "Ms. Xu can take care of the rest."

The maid also put away the envelope with a cold face.

"Thank you for the reminder, Second Young Mistress Xia. I just have a word that I want to remind Second Young Mistress."

Xu Ying looked at Lu Shi's back, and said: "Whether the person next to the pillow is a human or a ghost, we need to distinguish as soon as possible, so as not to cause harm to ourselves in the future."

Lu's feet stagnated slightly.

After a while, he laughed inexplicably.

"Then thank you Miss Xu for reminding me."

She is the wife that her husband, Ming Media, is marrying. How can his gentleness towards her be false?

It is possible for a person to pretend for a day, how could he pretend for two full years without revealing the slightest flaw?

Therefore, even though she had suspected that her husband had other people in his heart, she never doubted his kindness to her—she was a regular wife, and she was different from those people after all. Not to mention self-willing and humble to compare myself with them.

Even if what happened to Xu Ying was really done by her husband, and she still has some pimples in her heart, she will not forget her identity.

Over the years, her husband has not even had a roommate, and he has already given her a good reputation on the bright side——Xu Ying, at best, is just an object used for entertainment in secret, not even comparable to the so-called outer room.

As for the husband hurting the other party?

It is not yet known whether this matter is true or not, even if it is true, one can only blame the other party for being too ignorant and asking for trouble.

All in all, her husband treats her differently, Xu Ying's reminder is simply ignorant and ridiculous.

Sensing that Xu Ying's eyes were following her back, Mrs. Lu quickened her pace and left here with her maid.

The carriage didn't stop all the way, and drove back to Xiafu.

The maid helped Mrs. Lu out of the carriage and returned to Mingxin Garden.

As soon as Lu Shi, who was worried, was helped back to the hall by the maid, he heard a familiar voice.

"Yao'er is back."

Mrs. Lu turned her head to look, only to see Xia Han in normal clothes walking out from the inner room.

"Second Lord." Lu settled down and smiled at him.

"Where did this go?" Xia Han asked casually while stretching out one hand to help her into the inner room.

Mrs. Lu hesitated for a moment, and replied, "I went to the Yamen..."

She didn't want to tell her husband about it.

But she was restless all the way, and that name was always in her mind.

In the past, she also thought about asking her husband, who often said that husband and wife should be of the same heart, and there should be no concealment—but she didn't have the courage, and she couldn't find a reason to bring it up.

But Xu Ying's words today may be an opportunity for her to speak to her husband.

Lu Shi was thinking like this, but out of the corner of her eye, she saw the gentle smile on her husband's face slowly dissipating.
