Chapter 167 Big Gift
"How is it a bad thing?" Chu Xu proudly recounted the bird shit plan. He came up with the idea and Yuanyuan was responsible for its execution.
Everyone: "..."
This plan smells like something.
Suddenly everyone couldn't lie down anymore, so they all went to get some hot water to take a shower.
Taking a bath is very refreshing. Shang Wan took Yuanyuan to take a bath, and Lu Chengjing took Chu Xu to take a bath.
Compared to the laughter next door, Lu Chengjing and Chu Xu looked at each other in silence, it was very quiet.
Chu Xu tried to chat, "Why are you so thin?"
Lu Chengjing: “…”
Chu Xu didn't know that he had hit the mine point accurately. He poked Lu Chengjing's ribs with his little hand and muttered, "It's all bones."
Lu Chengjing picked up the handkerchief expressionlessly, "Turn around and I'll help you rub your back."
"Oh." Chu Xu turned around obediently, chattering, "My brother said that a man must be strong to protect his country. You can fall down if the wind blows."
"People who study seem to be thin. Why?"
"Auntie Shang likes fat kids, and she definitely likes strong men. You are so thin, why would Auntie Shang marry you?"
Without waiting for Lu Chengjing to answer, the child asked and answered himself, "Mom said that girls like good-looking guys. You are good-looking, so Aunt Shang must be attracted by your face."
The more Lu Chengjing listened, the darker his face became. Why was this little brat talking so much?
He put the towel on the edge of the tub and said coldly, "Dry now, go to bed."
Chu Xu looked back at him, "Are you angry?"
Lu Chengjing: “No.”
"You are just angry." Chu Xu understood himself, and said as he stepped on a small stool to climb out of the tub, "I am also good-looking. I will eat more and grow taller. If I grow well and have a good body, I will definitely marry a great wife in the future."
Lu Chengjing: “…”
His hair hasn't even grown out yet, but he's already thinking about getting married.
Chu Xu quickly wiped the water off his body, put on the new pants and jacket he had bought two days ago, and climbed onto the kang to sleep.
After many days of "hard" life, the young master who used to need someone to serve him has learned to dress himself, eat, and sleep by himself, and doesn't need anyone to coax him at all.
Lu Chengjing put on his pajamas and walked out from behind the screen. He saw the child sleeping like a pig on the kang. The thin quilt was kicked aside, most of it fell to the ground, and only a corner was still hanging on the edge of the kang.
Lu Chengjing shook his head helplessly, walked over to pick up the thin blanket, and put the back of his hand on Chu Xu's forehead and neck. When he found that it was warm and cool without sweat, he placed a corner of the thin blanket on Chu Xu's stomach and tucked the two sides under his body to prevent him from being kicked down again.
Chu Xu smacked his lips and hummed twice, then tilted his head and fell asleep again.
Lu Chengjing half-closed the window, blew out the candle and went out.
Shang Wan, who lives next door, is coaxing Yuanyuan to sleep. The little baby had just taken a bath. His skin was rosy, his eyes were bright, and he looked very energetic.
Hearing footsteps, the mother and daughter looked towards the door curtain together.
Lu Chengjing lifted the door curtain and walked in, his long hair spread out behind him, with water dripping from the ends of his hair.
"Daddy!" Yuanyuan shouted happily and stretched out her little hands for a hug.
"It's late at night, why aren't you asleep yet?" Lu Chengjing picked up his daughter and patted her on the back, "Are you waiting for daddy to tell you a story?"
Yuanyuan nodded her head immediately.
The little baby has developed a habit from his father and refuses to go to sleep without listening to a bedtime story.
"I leave it to you." Shang Wan yawned. Coaxing a baby is a technical job and more tiring than fighting.
She got up and went out to dry her hair.
Lu Chengjing placed Yuanyuan on the small bed, covered her with a small blanket, and softly told her an original story.
Yuanyuan felt that her father's voice was very helpful in helping her sleep. Her big eyes, which were bright and energetic just now, gradually became smaller. She yawned with her fists clenched, and fell asleep before she finished listening to the story.
The chubby little face left a wrinkle on the pillow.
Lu Chengjing helped her adjust her sleeping position, and only blew out the candle and left after making sure that his daughter was asleep.
Outside, Shang Wan was leaning against the window, drying his hair. He turned around when he heard the voice and asked, "Did you coax him to sleep?"
"Yeah." Lu Chengjing stepped forward, took the towel, and skillfully wiped his wife's hair.
Shang Wan, who had nothing to do, reached out and pinched the dripping hair behind him, pulled it over, pursed her lips and blew air, "Hu——"
The crystal water droplets on the ends of the hair were blown to the ground, splashing a small gray flower on the floor tiles.
She repeated this operation tirelessly until all the water droplets were blown away.
Lu Chengjing let her do what she wanted, reached out to take the wooden comb on the windowsill, and combed the hair in his palm bit by bit.
Shang Wanwei looked up at him and asked, "What news did Qiao Yu'an bring?"
"His people followed the fake Gao Qi to Yunyang Prefecture, but were discovered. They fled in different directions, but lost two people. The last person brought back information that mentioned several locations and related contacts."
"Were we discovered?" Shang Wan frowned. "If we alert the enemy, won't they retreat?"
"It will at most arouse vigilance, which is nothing." Lu Chengjing helped Shang Wan comb her hair before freeing up his hands to take care of his own hair. As he did so, he said, "Those people's appetites have long been fed. Officials and businessmen are colluding and shielding each other. They will not give up easily."
Shang Wan nodded, "Once Lin Jianshui reveals the truth, we won't be able to hide it anymore. I don't know what Lord An's plan is."
Lu Chengjing's voice was slightly deep. "There are both human and material evidence in this case. Although it involves a wide range of people, if we can get to the bottom of it with all our might, we will gain both fame and fortune. Lord An is not a mediocre person. Whether for fame and fortune or for the people, he will continue to investigate."
Shang Wan clicked his tongue, "If it were someone who didn't want to cause trouble, you would have just caused them a lot of trouble."
Lu Chengjing chuckled, "Who in the court doesn't have ambitions? I'm giving Lord An a great gift."
"Fox." Shang Wan muttered and turned around to close the wide-open window.
She sighed, "This is also the Lin family's own fault. If Lin Jianshan hadn't sent Erya to make up the number, Chen Guifang would have gone crazy and accidentally woken Lin Jianshui up. Lin Jianshui wouldn't have come to us to find Erya, not only handing over the evidence, but also being willing to serve as a witness to report the matter."
"He was the one who reminded us about the house and land deeds. It was thanks to him that we were able to successfully trick the Lin family."
Thinking of the forged official seal, Shang Wan asked, "Do you think Lin Jianshui will suddenly change his mind and betray us?"
Lu Chengjing shook his head. "He has no evidence, and the government won't believe his words. Besides, some evidence of child trafficking, prostitution, collusion between officials and businessmen, and corruption and bribery has been sent to Lord An. Even if Lin Jianshui wants to regret it, it's too late. Being a witness may save his life."
"Besides, if he wants Arya to live a good life, he knows what to do and what not to do."
Shang Wan reached out and touched his half-dry hair, thinking that it would be nice if there were hair dryers in this world.
After thinking about it, I felt that even if I had a hair dryer, it would be useless. Without a hair dryer, it would just be a decoration.
Seeing that she was distracted, Lu Chengjing asked softly, "What are you thinking about?"
