Chapter 173 Seeing Family Again

But this time, Mu Qingli was not going to go with him. No matter how Lu Zhanyan invited him, he declined.

He was just a strategist, unlike Xiao Lanjue who was already the nephew-in-law of the Lu family. He felt it was not a good idea to go with them, so he decided to take Huali and Huaguo with him to guard the prefect's residence so that he could help deal with any matters in the yamen.

These days, Mu Qingli often followed Lu Zhanyan to work. People in the yamen thought that Mu Qingli was the prefect's follower. After all, the master already had Xiao Lanjue.

Since there was someone in the mansion, Lu Zhanyan did not refuse and just let the servants do whatever was needed.

Mu Qingli stood at the door and watched the four carriages leave.

The first carriage was for Lu Zhanyan and his wife, the second carriage was for Lu Zhanxing and his wife, the third was for the maids, and the fourth was for some New Year gifts.

Lu Zhanxing had stopped vomiting, so he didn't sit apart from Su Xianye. He looked at her and said, "Xianye, you've worked so hard."

Lu Zhanxing still felt a little guilty that Su Xianye had to pretend to be a pregnant woman. If he was really a man, she would not have resorted to such a desperate measure!

"My dear, I am not tired, but in case mother finds out..."

"Don't worry, I will explain it to mother, just be at ease."

Luo is the real person behind the scenes, would she not help cover it up?

Su Xianye nodded slowly, but she still felt a little depressed. It would be great if her husband was willing to give her a real child. Unfortunately...

Feeling her low mood, Lu Zhanxing could only hold her hand: "Xianye, don't worry, no matter whether this baby is a boy or a girl, your husband only wants this one child, and you will always be her biological mother."

They are husband and wife, so the child they have is naturally their own!

Su Xianye smiled gently: "My dear, I am very satisfied to be able to marry you. It doesn't matter if you have more children. It's just that I regret not meeting you earlier."

Both of them were forced to get married. It was normal that their husbands would not fall in love with them, but they failed to keep their hearts.

Fortunately, although her husband is a playboy, he still respects her, is gentle and considerate, and she shouldn't be greedy.

Lu Zhanxing comforted her again, but what else could he do?

If Su Xianye's situation wasn't special, I might not necessarily marry her.

Anyway, my promise to treat her well was true.

A day later, they finally arrived in Xuzhou, and the carriage stopped at a house with five courtyards.

Luo, Lu Jin and others had been waiting at the door for a long time. When she saw Lu Zhanxing, Luo threw herself into Lu Zhanxing's arms with tears in her eyes: "My dear Xing'er, I finally see you again, wuwuwu..."

As she said this, she secretly touched Lu Zhanxing's belly and found that it was bulging. As someone who had experienced this, she immediately understood that her son was pregnant.

When Mrs. Luo heard that Su Xianye was pregnant, she guessed that it might be her "son" who was pregnant, and now she was just confirming it.

Lu Zhanxing helplessly let his mother touch him inside his cloak. The two looked into each other's eyes and confirmed it.

Mrs. Luo was pleasantly surprised, but also a little nervous, fearing that her son's pregnancy would be discovered. She said distressedly that she had lost weight, and tightened Lu Zhanxing's cloak again, "Don't catch a cold!"

Lu Zhanxing felt that her mother was too dramatic, so he pulled Xianye forward and said, "Mom, you should also take good care of your daughter-in-law. She is a bisexual."

"Mom~" Su Xianye's eyes also turned red when she saw Luo.

Ever since her mother passed away, she has regarded her mother-in-law as a relative, so she was naturally excited to see her again.

"Oh, it's Xianye, let me see. I'm so happy to hear that you're pregnant. It's a pity that the journey is so long, so it's hard to visit you. But fortunately, you're all here, so let me take good care of you in the future."

"Thank you, mother." Su Xianye still felt a little guilty. This mother-in-law was so good to her, but she could only deceive her mother and could not give birth to a real child for her husband.

Everyone greeted each other, especially Xiao Lanjue, who now called Lu Zhanxing his cousin.

Lu Zhanxing accepted it with pleasure. Well, all the people with high IQ are allocated to our family, which is not bad.

Lu Jin coughed lightly and said, "Okay, let's go inside and talk about the past."

"Yes, yes, Yao'er, you are about to give birth, you can't be tired, come into the house quickly..." Luo woke up as if from a dream, and was happy to see her son again, and was looking forward to the upcoming grandson or granddaughter.

"Thank you, second aunt."

Luo was holding a pregnant woman in one hand, which showed that she was really happy.

After entering the hall, Lu Zhanxing asked curiously, "Where is the third sister?"

"Your third sister was undergoing treatment, so we didn't let her go out to greet you." Lu Jin explained.

Lu Zhanxing also learned about this from a letter. There was a young Taoist priest with excellent medical skills who was treating the third sister's legs. It was said that she could already get out of bed and take a few steps.

Hearing this news, Lu Zhanxing was still very excited and wanted to go and see his third sister right away.

Luo said that they would see each other after dinner and asked her not to disturb Lu Xifei.

But Lu Zhanxing was worried, so he asked a maid to take her to find Lu Xifei's courtyard.

At this moment, in the corridor of Fangfei Garden, Lu Xifei was being supported by a Taoist priest with an air of immortality while she was practicing walking. Although it was such a cold day, she was sweating profusely.

When she sat back in the wheelchair, her face was filled with a joyful smile: "Master Xuanqi, I can already walk twenty steps."

"Well, you will be able to walk by yourself in a few days." A smile appeared on Taoist Xuanqi's serious face, and his voice was as moving as a clear spring.

Lu Xifei smiled with her bare face and thanked him sincerely: "Thank you, Taoist Xuanqi. I thought I would never stand up again."

"No need to thank me, I once said that I would only save those who are destined to be saved!"

Her legs have recovered, so whether he goes or stays is up to him.

He always looked at the smiling woman with his cold eyes. The woman who always had deep sorrow between her brows before, now had no sorrow and became more dazzling.

"Master Xuanqi, you said that if my leg is healed, I should leave, right?"

There was still a trace of reluctance between Lu Xifei's brows. Taoist Xuanqi was like a ray of light shining into her heart, allowing her legs to walk again, thanks to Taoist Xuanqi's meticulous care and encouragement.

Taoist Xuanqi asked her, "Do you want me to stay?"

Lu Xifei was stunned, staring blankly at this young and handsome Taoist priest with an immortal look. What did he mean by asking this?

Do you want me to keep him?

"Third sister, here I come!"

Lu Zhanxing began waving to his playmates from a distance. Lu Xifei looked back and saw her most handsome little brother running towards her happily.

Her face was filled with a smile of surprise: "Brother!"

She tried to get up but almost fell. Taoist Xuanqi quickly supported her.

Lu Zhanxing suddenly saw a man standing there supporting his third sister and stopped for a moment.

With just one glance, Lu Zhanxing knew why his family was willing to let this young Taoist priest treat his third sister.

The man was wearing a white robe and had his hair tied up in a Taoist bun. He had a handsome face, a cold expression, fluttering sleeves, and an air of an immortal. Was this the Taoist priest with superb medical skills that my mother mentioned?

With such appearance, it would be unfair not to let someone who is obsessed with appearance enter the mansion.

Could it be that mother wants to match this Taoist priest with my third sister?

But this is a Taoist priest!

Wouldn't it be a bad idea to pull this Taoist priest down from the altar?
