Chapter 99 Marriage
Lu Jing raised his head. Perhaps because he was sitting and she was standing, the sunlight fell entirely into his pupils, which were lighter in color and even had a gentle glow.

"I have seen peonies like this in my dreams."

Su Qingwan's heart choked, as if the heavy sound of a drum kept hitting her chest. She froze like a stick, standing straighter and stiffer than the pillars of the pavilion.

She suppressed her frantic heartbeat and her palms were sweating from nervousness.

"You are ignorant, right? This skill of making golden peony is unique to Jiangnan and has been passed down for hundreds of years. It is everywhere in Jiangnan. This embroidery shop is now owned by my Xie family. Such peony skirts are gorgeous and rich, and are quite popular among noble ladies in Beijing. Whether in the border areas or in the Central Plains, people all like this skill."

"Why are you panicking?" Lu Jing smiled. "You seem guilty after explaining so much."

Su Qingwan stiffened her fists and wanted to break his smile with a punch, but she had never seen Lu Jing smile like this since she came to Kyoto. Two years ago, he loved to laugh, was lazy and talkative, and was a young man full of vigor and vitality.

It has never been like this... the unkind, stern deputy commander of the Embroidered Uniform Guard.

She felt a little sad and upset.

"You came to me to talk about these irrelevant things. Sorry, I won't accompany you!" Su Qingwan pretended to leave. "Since Li An told me everything, you should know that I was trying to provoke Lu Feng to write a divorce letter. Don't... have wild thoughts."

Lu Jing thought to himself, what she wanted to say is that she was being too sentimental.

"What happened in my hospital cannot be spread out, and Lu Feng is too embarrassed to tell anyone. Let's end it now. If you really feel that I have hurt you, ruined your reputation, and hurt your self-esteem, the worst that can happen is... I will compensate you with money."

"Do I look like I'm short of money?" Lu Jing sneered.

Su Qingwan couldn't help but sneer, "You borrowed money to pay me back, so you should have pawned everything you could, why are you pretending to be so rich?"

Lu Jing, "..."

His salary was not enough to support his entire family and a group of close confidants.

"I'll give you some money, and you can stop stopping Lu Feng from writing the divorce agreement, okay?" Su Qingwan said calmly, "I also earned the Iron Certificate for your Lu family. Lu Feng is useless, and you will be the head of the family in the future. The imperial edict and the Iron Certificate will benefit you..."

Future generations!

Su Qingwan's skin felt as if stung by a bee.

She didn't want to say that.

"In short, you are the one who has the vested interests. I have done nothing but have made contributions. Please let me go, okay?"

Lu Jing was silent, as if thinking. Su Qingwan felt that there was a chance, and she was also happy. Could he be tempted? After all, they were not well off, and giving him some money...

Money makes the world go round. He named a price, and if she could afford it she would definitely not be stingy.

"Why are you in such a hurry to leave?" Lu Jing tapped his fingers on the table. "The emperor already has a memory of what happened in the palace. It would be too hasty to divorce him now."

"What else can I do if I stay in the Lu family? Cause trouble for you?" Su Qingwan was so angry that she lost her composure and wanted to scold him again.

Lu Jing said, "Zhang Wenqiao came to cancel the engagement, and you handled it very well. You maintained the dignity of the Lu family and fulfilled the wish of my second sister."

"Lu Jing, you're not going so far as to ask me to take charge of your household expenses."

"Don't worry, sister-in-law. I won't ask you to give me money. I will cover the expenses of the family."

"Your salary can't fill the hole in your family, how can you fill it, by taking bribes?" "That's fine."

Su Qingwan was once again shocked by his shamelessness.

"You're dreaming. This hot potato has just been thrown out. You want me to take over? It's impossible. Lu Feng was provoked last night and will definitely write a divorce letter today. You can't control your brother's divorce, right?"

"I can manage it!" Lu Jing made the final decision. No one would question his words. "Without my permission, the government can't stamp your divorce agreement."

"you!"

"Sister-in-law, I will let you go after the New Year." Lu Jing saw through her anger and gave her some hope. "It's already the end of June, and the New Year is not far away. If you want freedom, you can have half a year."

Su Qingwan frowned. Half a year... During this half year in the Lu family, using the identity of the Lu family's young lady, it was actually easier for her to plan her plans. She also had no plans to leave Kyoto.

The Lu family's young lady and the divorced Miss Xie, it sounds like the Lu family's young lady is doing things for her own convenience.

If something goes wrong, the deputy commander of the Jinyiwei can take care of the aftermath.

"Why do you want to keep me in the mansion for half a year?"

"Because I'm getting married."

Su Qingwan's nails pierced her palm and she was speechless for a moment. Is he getting married? She lowered her eyes and stared at the tip of the shoe. This pair of embroidered shoes was inlaid with a pearl, beautiful and exquisite. When she came to Kyoto, Luzhu was keen to dress her up, with a beautiful dress and beautiful shoes. She had never worn such exquisite and beautiful shoes in the southwest.

If you wear such pearl shoes, the pearls will fall off in a few days.

She felt sorry for her pearls.

She didn't know what she was thinking about. She was too absorbed in her thoughts and her eyes were dazed. Until she noticed a burning gaze, Su Qingwan started and came back to her senses.

"Whose girl have you chosen?" Su Qingwan asked.

Perhaps because of the rumors, Zhang seldom contacted her and lived a secluded life. She didn't even know that Lu Jing was engaged. Whose girl was she?
"You will know in half a year." Lu Jing kept it a secret. "The girl's family is prominent, so I would like to ask you to take charge of the household affairs so that everything in the mansion can be in order before she gets married. I would also like to ask you to help me with the wedding. I will reward you handsomely."

Su Qingwan, "..."

A ball of fire exploded in her chest, just like the sound of firecrackers during the New Year exploding continuously in her heart, mixing her internal organs and flesh into a ball.

He wants her to help with the wedding!
Arrange his wedding!

She almost cursed out in the Huainan dialect, a dialect that was vulgar but perfectly suited to her mood.

"You kept me in your house just to help you...organize the wedding?" Something in Su Qingwan's mind was tugging at her nerves, and she was about to lose control of her anger.

"Yes!" Lu Jing said, "After the wedding, sister-in-law can leave."

"Okay... okay, okay!" Su Qingwan's voice was hoarse, her throat ached with anger, and she swallowed all the tail air of her voice, feeling extremely uncomfortable. "I wish my third brother in advance... a loving couple and many children!"

Su Qingwan couldn't stay any longer and left in a huff. Lu Zhu was actually stunned and followed her in a hurry, cursing, saying that the Third Young Master was really going too far as to ask her daughter to organize the wedding.

This is not the way to bully people!
Lu Jing looked at her back with a dim gaze, "May you be a loving couple and have many children and grandchildren... I appreciate your good wishes."

Li An was also confused. He was a guard who knew all of Lu Jing's secrets. He was the guard who could not hide the fact that Lu Jing was greedy for a penny. Li An could not help but wonder, which girl did the master choose?
How come he doesn't know!
"Master, are you getting married?" Li An was confused.
