Chapter 29

Every time Lu Ying goes out to patrol the border, he brings back some rare things for Bai Fu Ling .

The so-called patrol, to be frank, it’s actually a threat; showing force to oppress the other side . With Lu Ying and Bai Family joining hands, Beiguan City has become the most prosperous commercial and trade place in the northwest frontier, with many businessmen trudging from the western regions, thousands of miles away .

Although barbarians have not dared to invade Lu Ying’s territory easily in the past two years, they will not be polite to these foreigners or even businessmen from other tribes . There were often small bands of bandits, robbing merchants pa.s.sing . These bandits are ferocious in temperament, and their men never leave people with their lives, pa.s.sers-by turn pale at the sight .

Lu Ying, under the proposal of Bai Fu Ling, will lead troops outside of the border to hunt down these bandits from time to time . Firstly, they could train in actual combat, and secondly, he can rely on the stolen goods collected from bandits to supply the town’s northern army . Bai Family’s through the yahang provides a coordinated process of selling stolen goods . The whole town’s northern army is willing to go out with Lu Ying to ‘patrol the border’ . Although taking risks is unavoidable, every harvest is plentiful .

Bai Fu Ling sent Lu Ying away, playing with the colored gla.s.s flower, temporarily forgetting the depression of being forced to accompany the ‘tortoise’ to the mountain tomorrow .

Bai Guo brought snacks and melons and looked at her in a good mood . She couldn’t help but gossip: “Miss, what kind of childish words did you say to General Lu when you were young?”

Bai Fu Ling glanced at her and said, “can you guess?”

“Why would I ask Young Miss, if I could guess??” Bai Guo was curious as h.e.l.l in her heart . Something that could get General Lu to act unswervingly toward the Bai Family, this must be something out of the ordinary!

Bai Fu Ling then said, “I would let him marry me when I grow up . ”

Advertis.e.m.e.nt

“No … no!” This Young Miss is really too much, she dares to say those words when she was only a few years old? She dared to flirt with a half-grown man ten years older than her?!

“Of course not!” It’s so naïve to be scared so easily!

Bai Guo patted her chest and said, “You scared me …”

The next morning, Lu Ying took his leave of Yang Heng and the Bai Family; and returned to Beiguan City with his 18-member northern cavalry bodyguards . They wanted to enjoy a few more days at the Bai Li Mountain guest house, but they did not expect to return to the city after one night . Their mood was a little depressed . However, when they looked at the General’s dark expression, who dared to hesitate?

Lu Ying returned to the General’s courtyard at the north of the town to hand over the matter of welcoming the imperial envoys . As usual, officials and staff in the front yard and the city finished processing the doc.u.ments acc.u.mulated over the past few days . Then he called Shi Wei, the housekeeper, and asked about Cui Zhenyi .

Shi Wei didn’t add fuel to the flames either . He actually told everything concerning Cui Zhenyi one by one . Finally, he asked, “Madam said that she plans to stay in Beiguan City to reunite with the General . The General’s courtyard is too narrow . She wants to buy houses nearby and expand the backyard of the General’s courtyard . ”

Lu Ying spoke without looking up: “No, I will arrange for her to return to the capital as soon as possible . ” When Shi Wei heard this, he immediately put down the worries in his heart . Truthfully, he likes the quiet life and can’t stand Cui Zhenyi temperament, if Cui Zhenyi really wanted to stay here for a long time, his life will be sorrowful .

He and Lu Ying lived in Beiguan City for a few years, and their days have been very quiet . Lu Ying just wanted someone he could trust to take care of the ch.o.r.es . He stayed in this house for short periods, and it’s not that he is too rich to be waited on by others; He usually does many things himself and seldom let the old housekeeper work hard .

But Cui Zhenyi is not the same . Although she is polite to him on the surface, Shi Wei can tell that the lady is dissatisfied with him . She thinks he is not as diligent and sensible as her Cui family’s servants, decent and nimble, but when she first arrived, she did not treat him very well . (if your NOT re$ding at Translateindo, this ch4pter has been stolen fr0m our s1te)

Cui Zhenyi was born in a large family, and there were more than a dozen servants and maids who attend to her needs from an early age . All of them bowed before her, fearing that they would be punished and deducted monthly money for any mistake . She has never seen such an undisciplined housekeeper such as Shi Wei . If she hadn’t been afraid of offending Lu Ying, she would have sent Shi Wei out and let one of her cronies take charge .

Yesterday, Jia Ding; brought by Cui Zhenyi, heard from the front courtyard that Lu Ying had returned to the city with troops . She was delighted and fussed to let Shi Wei set a banquet and dressed carefully to give her husband a surprise . She didn’t expect Shi Wei to hesitate and say that the General might have other important things to do and would not necessarily return home .

She thought Shi Wei wanted to be lazy again . She smiled, turned around and asked a servant woman to go to the restaurant and order to prepare the banquet . As a result, Lu Ying was still missing in the middle of the month . She called Shi Wei to ask . Shi Wei only spoke vaguely that the General often did not return to the house for a night on the day he returned to the city, but refused to say why .

Cui Zhenyi paled and has been angry after waiting a full day . Seeing Shi Wei again is making her even angrier . She secretly said: when my husband comes back, see how I will clean up this sly servant!

In recent days, she has not left the General’s courtyard in the north of the town, except once with her cousin . She has just sent her staff to inquire about Lu Ying’s various preferences and so on . This inquiry made her heart turn cold . Everyone in Beiguan City knows that Lu Ying’s closest friend is his sister Bai Fu Ling . Legend has it that Lu Ying was so obedient to this sister . What’s worse is that she was almost certain that it was this very person who severely humiliated her at the Cloud Tower restaurant that day . And the west wing, which is locked and free of people, is also reserved for this ‘adoptive-little-sister’ . No one has lived there all this while .

Cui Zhenyi and Liu Zhenzhen are no longer concerned with the trivial matter of how to find a room for this ‘adoptive-little-sister’ . They only thought of one thing; no wonder Lu Ying refused to return to the capital since he arrived in Beiguan City . It turned out that this terrible place has a truly beautiful unctuous ‘adoptive-little-sister’ in it!

Is Bai Fu Ling really Lu Ying’s adoptive sister?(if your NOT re$ding at Translateindo, this ch4pter has been stolen fr0m our s1te)

Cui Zhenyi’s cousin has been used to men’s lewd and greedy eyes since childhood . They simply can’t believe that there would be a man with a fairy and stunning beauty beside him, but still sat on his hands and only act with courtesy .

Cui Zhenyi has repeatedly calculated her relationship with Lu Ying . In the face of the beautiful adoptive sister, if she takes the position of a true wife to confront her, she will inevitably suffer . She is not optimistic enough to think Lu Ying will forget what they did when he married her . Therefore, the only way to do this is to be generous and virtuous as much as possible, be patient on everything . Let Lu Ying feel her kindness, and then lean towards her bit by bit .

Fortunately, Bai Fu Ling is just a girl who has not entered adulthood . Even if she is beautiful, she is still a bit immature . She is definitely not as knowledgeable as she is .

Cui Zhenyi thought about it all night and finally figured it out . The second day; early in the morning, she got up and heard that Lu Ying had returned home and was dealing with government affairs in the front yard . She suddenly felt refreshed . He came back so soon, proving that she had not lost to the coquettish little fox!

She hastily called servant girls to wash and dress, and told them to prepare tea and breakfast . She waited for Lu Ying to meet her . She waited until noon .

Lu Ying heard about the matter and turned to the backyard . He almost thought he was in the wrong place . He saw that the original simple courtyard porch was covered with bonsais and embroidered curtains, and several refined and unsophisticated gauze lanterns were hung under the eaves . Fortunately, the main room and the west wing room were locked under Shi Wei’s efforts to protect the rooms, which should not be affected by the ‘refurbishing’ storm . (if your NOT re$ding at Translateindo, this ch4pter has been stolen fr0m our s1te)

The east wing has changed the most . From a distance, there are many flowers and rich scenes . As soon as the two servants saw him, they bowed down and saluted, saying, “Seeing Your Lordship!” . This is also Cui Zhenyi’s special reminder . She is now a member of the Lu family, so her servants are also the Lu family’s people . They can no longer call Lu Ying as ‘Guye‘; as they did at the Cui family home .

(Guye [姑爷] = young mistress’s husband / honored ‘live in’ son-in-law)

Lu Ying did not say anything in response, motioning with his hand, “please come to the main room, Wife . ” He also doesn’t want to admit Cui Zhenyi’s ident.i.ty, but a fait accompli, he is not going to embarra.s.s her in front of other people . This is the marriage made by his father, the daughter-in-law approved by his mother, and even a marriage personally bestowed by the Emperor . Even if he is not satisfied, she is still his lawful wife . As long as she does not do anything too outrageous, he is willing to give the other party enough respect, but that’s all, there will be no other .

Cui Zhenyi took her maid; delicate and gracefully, to Lu Ying’s personal study for the first time . The couple met formally for the first time . They greeted each other and were as polite as strangers .

After taking a seat, Lu Ying also asked Cui Zhenyi whether she was used to Beiguan City’s climate or not and then directly said: “Beiguan City is a key place in the front line . My wife has seen me, so pack up and return to the capital tomorrow . ”

Cui Zhenyi had expected that he would expel her, but she didn’t expect that he would be so cruel . He asked her to go back as soon as they met . Fortunately, she was also prepared . She tactfully said mildly, “I have been married to you for several years, but I haven’t served you as a wife . Before, it was because it was inconvenient to leave the capital because I wanted to be filial to mother-in-law . Now that the filial period has pa.s.sed, how can I allow my husband to suffer alone in the border city?  I just want to be with my husband and share the joys and sorrows . Please don’t drive me away . ”

She said so with a tearful face . No matter how hard you are, you can’t refuse the plea of such a weak woman .

Lu Ying looked at her lightly and after a while, he said indifferently, “life in the border town is hard, unlike the capital city, which is rich with luxuries and slaves . Since you must stay, then stay . I hope you don’t regret it . ”

Cui Zhenyi felt a twinge of joy and said, “thank you, Husband!”

Lu Ying waved his hand and said, “I still have some business to do . Go back to your room first . ”

Cui Zhenyi meekly withdrew in accordance with the words, but her hand hidden in her sleeve had long been clenched into a fist .
