Chapter 500 My Delicate Husband (20)

   It turned out that they were afraid of the dark, so they had dinner early and hid in the house.

  Thinking of Lu Yuan's smudged little face again, Su Qiruo felt more and more sad.

  The two sons of aristocratic families who were supposed to be well-clothed and loved by thousands of people, are now living such a life of trembling.

  In the past five years, what have they experienced?

  Su Qiruo tiptoed, turned over and entered the small courtyard.

  The yard is not big, but it is cleaned very well.

   There are neat piles of firewood in the stove room, which must have been bought by them.

  In addition to the large water tank at the door, there is only a simple small cupboard with clean dishes on it. The bottom cupboard should be where they store rice noodles.

   There is a small pot on the stove, which contains half a pot of lard.

  There was also a jar in the corner, with a small stone pressed on it, Su Qiruo guessed that it might contain the pickles that Lu Yao had pickled himself, and could smell the acetic acid smell.

  The hand hanging by her side tightened, and Su Qiruo's heart tightened for no reason, that dark green tall and straight figure seemed out of place in this narrow kitchen.

  Slender white fingers lightly touched the rim of the pot that had run out of heat, and Su Qiruo took out another stack of silver bills from her arms and pressed it under the oil pot.

  If he knows that she has been here, it is fine, and she can't let him go.

  Thinking of Lu Yao's caution, Su Qiruo was afraid that he would be frightened, so she took out a bead that was the same as the gold bead given to him earlier from her purse and put it next to the silver ticket.

   In this way, he should know that it was the bank note sent by her!

  He disliked her so much at the beginning, and he didn't know what to do to make him look good and let him accept her help.

  Standing in the yard for a while, Su Qiruo stepped away.

   As if feeling it, Lu Yao glanced out the window, but only saw shaking leaves.

   Seeing Su Qiruo leave, Feng Shuang also turned and went back to the house.

  The courtyard next door was quiet every night, but Fengshuang didn't dare to relax for a moment.

  Especially today, seeing with his own eyes how much his young master cares about that Mr. Lu, he is even more vigilant.

  The next day, Lu Yao got up before dawn.

   Glancing at his sleeping brother, he quietly got out of bed.

   Firstly, in the dim morning light, the yard was cleaned. After dawn, Lu Yao rolled up his sleeves and entered the kitchen as usual.

  However, when he saw the stack of silver bills and the round golden bead on the stove, he was shocked.

  Someone entered the yard last night?

  He didn't even know it.

   Taking the thick stack of banknotes, Lu Yao didn't rush to count them, but held the only golden bead in his palm.

  The heart in the chest seemed to be about to jump out, beating non-stop.

"is her."

  Lu Yao murmured.

   She has been here.

  She found his residence, but didn't bother her, she just sent him a bank note.

   Did she know about Lu Yuan's illness?

  Lu Yao couldn't tell what it was like in his heart, and there was a bit of unspeakable throbbing in the sourness.

  She was so upright and kind when she was young, and she is still so upright now.

   His fingers touched the jade pendant in his arms subconsciously, and he hasn't figured out how to return the jade pendant to her.

  Go to Su Mansion to find her?

  He didn't have that kind of courage either.

  He never thought that because of that night, he would force her to give him an explanation. The matter was over, and he didn't care about it.

  Why is she doing this?

  The thick stack of banknotes can feel how many there are without counting them. Not to mention buying one such courtyard, even buying ten is more than enough.

  Did she... have investigated his situation, so she wanted to make up for him in this way?

   Now that there is no shortage of money, Lu Yao is not very happy.

  He didn't know what was wrong with him.

   Walking quickly to the gate of the courtyard, Lu Yao couldn't help frowning when he saw the tightly fastened latch and the thin layer of ashes scattered on the ground.

   No footprints?

  Then where did she come in from?

  Looking at the surrounding courtyard walls, it is so high that there are no big trees around that can directly climb up the courtyard walls. Could it be that she flew in?

  The emperor once praised Su Zhuangyuan as a prodigy with both civil and military skills. Presumably she also has high martial arts skills.

  Lu Yao stood blankly in the yard, looking around blankly, but there was no sign of that person at all.

   Feng Shuang, who was hidden in the dark, sighed softly. It seems that Mr. Lu has discovered that his young master has come.

  Looking at the bank note in Lu Yao's hand, and remembering that his young master had asked him more than once to pay more money from the cashier, Feng Shuang decided on one thing.

  Master Lu is very short of money.

   Feng Shuang rolled his eyes and suddenly had an idea.

  As soon as he finished his breakfast, he knocked on the door of the courtyard next door, and soon there was a slight sound of footsteps in the courtyard.

   "Who is it?"

  Lu Yao's voice was somewhat vigilant, Feng Shuang was afraid of frightening the young master's heart, so he hurriedly spoke out first.

   "Master Lu, it's me."

   Hearing it was Fengshuang's voice, Lu Yao opened the door a crack.

  Feng Shuang was holding two books in his hands, scratching his head in embarrassment.

   "If you take the liberty to disturb me, I hope Mr. Lu will not be offended."

   "It's okay, I don't know Mr. Feng is..."

  Lu Yao smiled lightly, without any annoyance on his face.

"I am ashamed to say that Feng has practiced martial arts since he was a child, so he is not very familiar with literature. However, the younger brother in the family has reached the age of enlightenment, and he finally asked someone to find these two volumes. I would like to ask Mr. Lu if he is willing to help. Copying? Don't worry, I can pay for it."

  Fengshuang didn't completely lie to Lu Yao. Although he was literate, his writing was really not very good.

   "Young Master Feng is serious, but it's just a matter of raising your hands. Just leave it to me, and I'll pick it up tomorrow."

  As soon as Lu Yao heard it, he reached out and took the book in Fengshuang's hand.

   They are all neighbors, and Fengshuang is a man who knows martial arts. Lu Yao is still looking forward to getting to know him better, and ask him to take care of Lu Yuan in the future!

   Today he helped him copy a few books, which is considered a favor.

   "Then there will be Mr. Lao Lu."

  Feng Shuang was not polite, thanked him and left.

  When he came to pick up the books the next day, Feng Shuang brought some candied desserts. Although they were not very valuable items, they were more exquisite.

  Lu Yao said a few polite words, but in the end he couldn't resist Feng Shuang, so he had to accept it.

  Actually, he is no longer short of money, but if he is asked to spend it lavishly, he is not willing to do so.

   As long as Lu Yuan's illness is not good, he has to save a day.

   "Are these sent by Brother Feng?"

  Looking at the snacks and candied fruit in the box, Lu Yuan raised his head and asked.

   "Exactly, go wash your hands and try it."

  Lu Yao nodded, these are also what he got in exchange for copying books, he doesn't think he took advantage of others.

  After all, he had copied that book all day yesterday, and he didn't even have time to embroider the handkerchief.
