YM778.TV Chapter 207 - 207 Marriage
Everything had to wait until she had rested enough!
However, to Lin Suisui’s surprise, as soon as she came out of the inner room after washing up, she was startled by Lu Ze, who had just washed up and was leaning against the head of the bed and checking something by the candlelight.
“Why are you here?!”
They had no other choice in the refugee camp, but now that they have rooms available, shouldn’t he return to his room to rest?!
“Where else should I be?!” Lu Ze looked up at the shocked Lin Suisui, and his expression darkened.
Lin Suisui blinked and was stunned for a moment before subconsciously replying, “Shouldn’t you go back to your room?!”
“This is my room!” Lin Suisui’s answer made Lu Ze even angrier. He raised his hand and gestured for Lin Suisui to go over. “Have you forgotten that we’re husband and wife?!”
“…But…” Lin Suisui swallowed hard. Although Lu Ze was right, she wasn’t used to it yet!
“Come here, I’ll wipe your hair for you!” Lu Ze calmed himself down before barely suppressing the urge to pin this little girl down and teach her a lesson. He took a dry handkerchief from the side and waved at her again. “Sleeping with your hair wet will give you a headache later.”
Lin Suisui hesitated for a moment but didn’t refuse Lu Ze’s kindness.
She slowly walked over, then Lu Ze stood up and pressed her to the bed. Then, he wiped her hair with a dry handkerchief.
“I don’t ask you to accept the fact that I’m your husband immediately, but you have to have this awareness.” Lu Ze sighed and whispered to Lin Suisui, “You have to get used to it slowly. After all, you and I have to stay together for the rest of our lives.”
“You’re lying! You’re the Crown Prince! Although you didn’t mention it, I’m not a fool. Sooner or later, you’ll have to return to the capital and take that position!”
Lu Ze’s words gave Lin Suisui a chance to refute. She immediately refuted him, “After you take that position, can you stay faithful to me?!”
“Why not?!” Lu Ze lowered his head and glanced at the hair on the little girl’s head. He raised his hand and pinched her fair and cute earlobe resentfully. Ignoring her protest, he continued, “Since ancient times, there have been emperors who only had one empress in their harem!
“Besides, if I need multiple women to stabilize my empire, why would I need this empire?!”
Lu Ze put down his handkerchief and took a comb to comb Lin Suisui’s hair. “I’ve never thought of breaking my promise!
“I can tell you this now. In ten years, twenty years, when we’re old and have children and grandchildren, I will still continue to tell you this!”
“But you almost strangled me to death previously!” It was impossible for Lin Suisui not to be tempted by such words! However, while her heart was racing, she didn’t completely lose her calm. She still wanted to settle old scores.
“Really?!” Lu Ze lowered his eyes. He didn’t intend to admit to this at all. “If I really wanted to strangle you to death, would I still be able to comb your hair here?!”
Lin Suisui thought for a moment and didn’t continue to harp on this matter. She deliberated for a moment before confessing to Lu Ze, “I actually have feelings for you.
I don’t even know why, but when I saw you at the East Palace, I had the feeling that I had seen you somewhere before.
However, after thinking about it for a long time, I still couldn’t remember it!
Can you give me some more time?! I want to think about it.”
She didn’t dislike Lu Ze, but that didn’t mean that she could immediately accept this role change. After all, from the beginning, she only treated Lu Ze as her platonic companion.
They cooperated very intimately and smoothly!
But now, he was telling her that they were actually husband and wife…
This would take some time to get used to.
“It’s not that I don’t want you to think about it!” Lu Ze stood up and placed the comb on the dressing table at the side. Then, he turned around and smiled at the conflicted Lin Suisui. “This doesn’t conflict with us living together and getting used to each other!
“Besides, there’s no other suitable place for me to stay in this courtyard now. You can’t let me sleep in the study at the front, right?!”
“Isn’t there still the west wing…” Lin Suisui gritted her teeth and pointed next door as she made her last ditch effort.
“There’s no bed over there. Do you want me to freeze to death in such cold weather in the north?!” Lu Ze raised his hand and flicked Lin Suisui’s forehead. He looked at the aggrieved little girl who was holding her forehead and instructed fiercely, “Go to bed! Otherwise, you really won’t be able to sleep today!”
… .
Originally, Lin Suisui thought that there was no way she could fall asleep in bed with Lu Ze.
In the end, she really did.
She went to bed and crawled under the blanket. In the blink of an eye, she fell asleep. She only woke up when Yuan Niang came in to wake her up for breakfast the next day.
At this moment, Lu Ze had already been gone for two to four hours!
“When Master left this morning, he instructed that the brokers would be coming over later! Whether you choose a shop or buy people, you have to go through them.
It was already the end of the year. The opening of the shop would definitely have to wait until spring! However, they could buy the shop first. They also had to hire a few more maidservants at home.
We can put everything else aside for now. We have to decorate the house and buy new year’s goods first!”
While Lin Suisui was eating breakfast, Yuan Niang told Lin Suisui what Lu Ze had told her before he left. Then, she continued, “Madam Song and I have already looked around the house. Master said that we don’t have to worry about the decorations in the outer courtyard. As for the inner courtyard, we can take our time tidying up the reception hall for the time being, but we at least have to set up a cozy pavilion to welcome guests.”
In this aspect, the woman was clearly much more experienced than Lin Suisui. Therefore, Lin Suisui was also very cooperative. She said that since she wasn’t very good at all of this, she might as well leave it to them and just pay for whatever they needed!
