Chapter 512: Searching for Him in the Crowd 5
The fifth girl, Lu Wanshu, married Du Jingxuan smoothly. On this day, it was already dark when she returned to her parents’ home.

Lu Wanshu leaned on the beauty couch and listened to the maid muttering about the gift list.

“The Queen gave me a seven-color jasper screen, a box of jadeite beads, two pairs of the finest jade ruyi, a pair of large gold hairpins, twenty rolls of snow satin, two rolls of Sichuan brocade, six rolls of floating luster brocade, and five large boxes of various ready-made clothing materials.”

The maidservant was so thirsty from talking that she picked up the teacup beside her to moisten her throat and continued to read. After a while, she finally read out all the gift lists clearly. The maidservant wiped the sweat from her forehead and said, “Madam Hou, the Queen really loves you.”

Lu Wanshu smiled sweetly when she heard this: “Second sister-in-law gave me these treasures just for show, it doesn’t count for anything. What she loves me most is that she can help me get what I want and marry the husband of my dreams.”

The little maid didn’t know the details of this, and just echoed, “The Queen is kind and kind to everyone. You and the Sixth Miss have grown up with her since childhood, so the Queen naturally loves you two especially.”

The maidservant paused and whispered, “It seems that you are much more satisfied than the Sixth Miss. When I returned home today, I saw that the Sixth Miss and her husband were not as loving as before, and the Sixth Miss was not as lively as before.”

“Don’t say that.” The Fifth Miss has always been very close to the Sixth Miss. After hearing this, she couldn’t help but speak up for the Sixth Miss: “My Sixth Brother-in-law did something wrong to my Sixth Sister, so my Sixth Sister ignored him. No matter what, my Sixth Sister is now the eldest princess, and no matter what the Zhou Family does, they dare not be rude to my Sixth Sister.”

“Madam is right.” Seeing that her unintentional words had upset her master, the little maid hurriedly changed the subject: “I will go to the storehouse and ask them to put the return gifts in place.”

As soon as she turned around, she saw Young Marquis Du standing at the door.

“Master Hou——”

It was not until the maidservant called out softly that Lu Wanshu noticed someone. She winked at the maidservant and waited for her to leave before asking, “When did you come here? Why didn’t you say anything?”

Du Jingxuan lifted his robe and walked into the room: “I saw that you two, master and servant, were talking animatedly, so I didn’t want to disturb you.”

The man had a blank expression on his face and his eyes were slightly cold.

Seeing this, Lu Wanshu couldn’t help but feel nervous.

I don’t know how much of what I just said to the maid he heard.

“We were just gossiping and didn’t say anything important.” Lu Wanshu said casually.

Du Jingxuan sat down on the chair, frowned slightly, and asked, “I heard you mentioned the Queen just now?”

I never thought that the most important thing I just said was actually heard by him.

Lu Wanshu was still leaning on the beauty couch, playing with the jade bracelet on her fair wrist: “The Queen is my second aunt, what’s wrong with me mentioning her?”

“There’s nothing wrong with that?” Du Jingxuan said directly, “But I heard you say just now that you wanted to thank her for helping you marry your ideal husband. What does that mean?”

If it weren’t for Qin Xiaoning’s trick, she would never have been able to marry her lover as she wished.

This is what Lu Wanshu just pointed out.

Only Qin Xiaoning knew about this, and the two aunts and sisters-in-law swore that no one would reveal it.

“Don’t let Du Jingxuan know about this. Even after you get married, no matter how good he treats you, don’t tell anyone. If a man knows that you have taken the trouble to love him, he won’t cherish you as much. No matter what, you must leave room for yourself.”

This was what Qin Xiaoning told Lu Wanshu after the marriage was decided, and she always kept it in mind.

Right now, even if he heard it, she would never admit it.

She turned her eyes to Du Jingxuan, and then replied: “At the beginning, you wanted to marry my sixth sister, but she didn’t like you. Later, I was trapped by an evil spirit, and only your horoscope matched mine, so my grandmother wanted me to marry you, but my mother disagreed. She felt that you were the one left over by my sixth sister, and that it was a bit embarrassing for me to marry into this family. In the end, it was my second sister-in-law who stepped in and persuaded my mother to agree to our marriage.”

Du Jingxuan couldn’t help but frowning as he listened to his wife’s words. He then replied in a somewhat unpleasant tone, “What do you mean I was the one picked out by your sixth sister? It was clearly her who was blind at the beginning, okay?”

Seeing that the other party’s neck was red with anger, the fifth girl suppressed the urge to laugh, sat up, looked at her husband, and said, “It doesn’t matter if my sixth sister is blind or you didn’t stick to it in the end. Anyway, you came to propose marriage to her in the beginning, but it didn’t work out in the end. This is a fact.”

Du Jingxuan waved his hand and said, “It happened eight hundred years ago. Don’t mention it again.” “I only mentioned it because you insisted on asking.”

Lu Wanshu glared at her husband: “Could it be that you haven’t let it go yet?”

Du Jingxuan immediately asked back: “What didn’t you let go of?”

Lu Wanshu immediately said, “My sixth sister.” She then glared at the other person and said, “Why are you pretending to be confused?”

“She already has a child, what else can I not let go of?” Du Jingxuan stood up anxiously and explained to his wife hastily: “Shu’er, please don’t wrongly accuse me. In my heart, I don’t have any feelings for her at all now.”

Lu Wanshu took her husband’s hand, looked up at him, and asked, “Who do you have feelings for right now?”

The little woman smiled with her eyebrows curved and her bright eyes twinkling like stars, which made Du Jingxuan feel itchy in his heart.

“What do you think?” He raised his eyebrows and asked his wife.

She let go of his hand: “How should I know.”

As a newlywed, Du Jingxuan couldn’t help feeling irritated by his young wife’s tenderness and kindness. He was about to subconsciously hug her slender waist, but the little woman turned her body to the side and easily dodged.

“I’m thirsty and want to drink some water.” After saying that, she avoided him and walked away on her own.

Du Jingxuan glanced at the little woman’s figure, stood there stupidly for a long time, and finally followed her involuntarily.

“Be careful not to burn your hands.” He took the teapot first, poured tea for her carefully, and then approached her carefully.

Lu Wanshu took the teacup and smiled at the man: “Thank you, husband.”

She deliberately clamped her voice, her voice was sweet and soft.

He couldn’t help but hug her again. She tried to avoid him, but this time, he didn’t give her a chance. He stretched out his long arms and hugged her tightly.

“Why do you always hide from me?” The man’s voice was filled with grievance.

This is called playing hard to get.

Seeing that the man had taken the bait, Lu Wanshu stopped making trouble and smiled as she lowered her eyes and replied, “I just want to give each other some time to adapt.”

The man frowned: “We’re already married, don’t tell me, you still haven’t completely accepted me in your heart?”

You see, this tactic of playing hard to get is really useful.

In just a few days, the situation of the two was reversed.

Lu Wanshu said, “Of course I need time to accept you, and you also need time to accept me, right?”

“You are my wife. I don’t need time. I married you and you married me for life.” The man was not good at sweet talk, but his eyes were sincere. After saying this, he still asked his wife in his arms as if he was worried: “What about you? Marrying me is not entirely because my horoscope is compatible with yours, right?”

Of course not. I have been in love with you for many years. You are the husband I have painstakingly planned to marry.

She could only say this in her heart. Facing the man’s confession, Lu Wanshu looked at him and replied, “When my family decided to marry me to you, I had many concerns, but after spending a few days with you, I can see clearly that you are indeed a man I can rely on.”

Hearing his wife’s praise, the man’s brows relaxed: “Of course, Shu’er, I, Du Jingxuan, will definitely let you rely on me for the rest of your life.”

She was secretly delighted and said, “Okay.”
