Although they had the same face, the Jiang Wu in the dream did not give him the urge to get closer, but Huo Lindong still remembered the throbbing feeling when his eyes met Ah Wu’s in real life.
Just like the attraction of destiny, she was his lost other half.
“Ugh, it hurts—”
Ah Wu was sleeping in a daze. She was so tightly entangled by the person beside her that she could hardly breathe.
She closed her eyes, murmured, twisted her body to break free from Huo Lindong’s arms, and then rolled on the bed. She rolled to the innermost position, hugged the quilt that she had rolled up, and fell asleep again.
“You little heartless one.”
Huo Lindong looked at the little girl who had rolled up all the quilts and said.
He finally understood the reason why Ah Wu always held him to sleep in the past.
Everything in the Duke’s mansion was of the highest quality, and the mattresses and quilts were no exception. The bed was covered with a thick mattress, which was much softer than the beds in the countryside.
In addition, he drank the nourishing decoction prepared by Liu Yuanzheng for him and exercised diligently every day. He had already lost his previous thin figure.
Therefore, Ah Wu no longer hugged him when sleeping at night. After all, holding him while sleeping would inevitably put pressure on her hands and feet, which would definitely make her uncomfortable for a long time.
After realizing that there was no need to use her soft body as a cushion for Huo Lindong, Jiang Wu happily let him go and liked to roll around on this spacious bed covered with silk quilts every night.
Huo Lindong still missed the nephrite from those days in the countryside. He decided to ask the servant to change the mattress tonight.
***
The former Eldest Young Master of Duke Xiao’s mansion was back. The Eldest Young Master of Duke Xiao’s mansion married a silly girl in the countryside. These two news spread quickly from inside the mansion to outside the mansion.
The former was not surprising news. The Duke of Xiao only had such a bloodline. No matter what mistakes he had made in the past, they would always bring the person back.
They heard that the young master who was left at his Uncle’s house in the countryside was admitted as a scholar at the age of fifteen. According to the learning environment in the countryside, it could be seen that the young master who would inherit the title of the County Duke in the future was smart.
Many families with unmarried daughters of the right age were a little tempted and wanted to meet the Eldest Young Master to see if there was any possibility of getting married.
As for the second news, it was surprising, but it was just a surprise. Everyone was waiting for Old Duke Xiao to take action, so the acting eldest grandson divorced this silly girl. The gap between the two families was too big.
As long as the silly girl was given adequate compensation, no one would say that Young Master Xiao disliked poverty and loved wealth.
In the first month after Xiao Lindong came back, there was no news about the Xiao family’s divorce. On the contrary, someone saw Young Master Xiao taking his wife to the temple fair and buying a bunch of candy figures.
Some people claimed that they saw the newly Duke Xiao’s heir carrying a target covered with candied haws, followed by a little girl nibbling on the candied haws.
In the third month after Xiao Lindong came back, the former heir, who was revoked from the title of heir by Old Duke Xiao, finally could not survive the illness and passed away because of the Hualiu1Hualiu Disease (the counterpart of Venereal Disease in Chinese) was well known by the public and even scholars as an appellation for Sexually Transmitted Disease(STD) in ancient years. disease. (T/N: It’s Huo Lindong’s father. I think it was because of his illness, so Old Duke Xiao revoked his title.)
