1910 If only
Madame Lin hurried over to calm the country guarding Duke while Lu Yang poured him hot water.
Lu Ming wanted to add fuel to the fire, but Lu Zheng did not give him the chance.
Lu Zheng took two steps forward and looked at the loving couple and their well-behaved children. He was already numb to it. When he was young, he would envy and hate them, but now, he was numb to it.
He looked at the country guarding Duke,”father, don’t be angry and harm your health. Otherwise, this country guarding Duke Manor will really be my territory.” The Good Wife in your heart, the children and grandchildren you love, will live under my hands. Think about it, if this unfilial son can anger me to death, what else can’t he do?”
With that, his lips curled up and he turned to leave.
“Stop! Unfilial son, stop right there!” The country guarding Duke had just been appeased and had a sip of water to relax, but in the end, he was once again uncomfortable with Lu Zheng’s words.
Unfortunately, Lu Zheng would not listen to him at all.
Lu Zheng was walking in the huge Duke Zhengguo’s mansion with uncle an following behind him, his face full of worry.
When he was young, he was the old Duke Zhengguo’s manservant. At that time, he was quite distressed for Lu Xue and Lu Zheng. Now that he was old, he still could not bear to see the Duke Zhengguo and the Lin family bully Lu Zheng.
However, now that the Prince had grown up, he would not be bullied by others.
Seeing that Lu Zheng was heading in the direction of the ancestral hall, uncle an did not ask further.
The Crown Prince had not returned for many years. He would definitely go to visit the old master and Madam Zhou when he returned.
“Uncle an, you should go rest! I’m very familiar with the high Duke’s public house and I know how to return to my own courtyard.” When they reached the ancestral hall, Lu Zheng turned around and said to uncle an.
“Alright, Your Highness. The Prince also went to bed early. I’ve already asked the servants in Bo Cui garden to clean up the courtyard. The Prince will go back in a while to wash up and rest. When the old Duke and Zhou Furen see that the Crown Prince has returned, they will definitely be very happy.” An Bo said.
Lu Zheng smiled and nodded.
After uncle an left, Lu Zheng entered the ancestral hall and closed the door.
He took three incense sticks from the side, lit them, and knelt on the futon. “Grandfather, mother, Luan ‘er has returned.”
The ancestral hall was filled with the ancestors of the Zhou family, and the one of the lowest seniority was his mother, Zhou Yujia.
He held up the incense and told his experience over the years, like a traveler returning to his family and telling his elders what he had seen.
His voice was very light, sometimes cheerful, sometimes deep.
In the country guarding Duke’s study, his heart had already calmed down.
He took out a scroll from his collection of paintings and slowly unfurled it.
Her smile was unforgettable!
“Little Jia, Luan ‘er is back. Will you still hate me?” the country guarding Duke had tears in his eyes.
Unfortunately, no one answered him.
Tears flowed from the corners of his eyes and dripped onto the painting. The country guarding Duke quickly wiped them dry with a handkerchief. He was afraid that his tears would dirty the painting and infect the person in it.
He thought of the time when they had met in Zhou clan town, thought of the beauty of their marriage, and thought of the scoundrels he had become after their marriage. Tears kept flowing down his face.
It had been more than twenty years since he shed tears. The last time he cried was when his little Jia passed away.
If he hadn’t been soft-hearted back then, if he had been more determined, if he had taken Jia to guard the border, would all these things have not happened?
