Chapter 108 Abandoning the Country
Deng Qingyu sincerely invited her, and took advantage of the reason for her child's birthday. Logically, Lu Wan could not refuse.
But Lu Wan knew very well that the mother and daughter were in Li Yi’s heart and the impact on him in the future, so she didn’t want to get too close to her. If she could, she would avoid it, so as not to cause trouble.
Besides, Li Yi is bound to be there for Tongtong’s birthday. The family of three will enjoy the joy of family. What’s the point of being boring?
So, Lu Wan laughed and said, "Thank you for your kind invitation. Unfortunately, I have been vegetarian for my biological mother these days and want to quit meat. Please forgive me!"
Upon hearing this, Deng Qingyu was quite disappointed.
And someone who had been blindly obscuring her finally raised his eyes and swept towards her.
When you fast, you only abstain from meat and not desire?
This woman, she really opens her mouth to lie.
Lu Wan saw the ridicule in the man's eyes clearly, but was too lazy to pay attention to it, so he turned around and wanted to leave.
Deng Qingyu called her again: "Since that's the case, can the girl go to my house for a cup of tea? You are the only friend I met in Shangjing. We are leaving soon. I'm afraid there will be no chance to see Miss Lu again in the future."
Lu Wan was stunned: "Miss Deng is leaving?"
Deng Qingyu glanced at Li Yi and smiled helplessly: "When Tongtong celebrates her birthday, we will return to the northern border. After this farewell, I don't know that there will be a chance to meet again in the future..."
Lu Wan suddenly remembered that Li Yi seemed to have left Shangjing at this time in his previous life, but he wondered if he would leave with them, mother and daughter this time...
Deng Qingyu's home is in an alley beside Qinquan Lake. It is a three-in-one courtyard. It is quiet and elegant, with the taste of Jiangnan courtyard. You can tell at a glance that it was Li Yi who specially selected and arranged it for her according to her love.
Deng Qingyu led her to the flower hall and took a seat, made tea for her with her own hands, and asked the little maid to serve all kinds of exquisite snacks and warmly treat her.
As soon as Lu Wan entered the flower hall, he felt a refreshing chill coming towards him. When he looked up, he understood where the refreshing chill came from.
In front of the red sandalwood carved couch by the window to the east, there was a huge celadon jar. In the jar was a half-person-high beauty ice sculpture. The ice slowly melted, and a trace of cool air spread out in the room.
In the ice water in the ice jar, there are seasonal fresh fruits and melons, and even rare fresh lychees.
In the hot summer season, using such a large cube of ice to reduce heat, let alone Lu Wan’s house, even in the eldest princess’ house, it is not affordable every day.
To put it bluntly, some things can’t be obtained even if you have money.
Deng Qingyu asked Lu Wan to sit on the bed at the bed, bent down and scoop out the ice lychees from the ice jar and delivered them to Lu Wan. She smiled ashamedly: "It makes the girl laugh. Such a good thing was not something we used, but His Highness spoiled Tongtong and was afraid that she would be hot, so she asked the house to supply ice every day, and she really wanted to spoil her."
While talking, the servant opened the window, Lu Wanwei turned his head and saw Li Yi teaching Le Tong to play chess in the yard.
The father and daughter were heads together, and the patience and kindness on the man's face were something Lu Wan had never seen before.
It turns out that he is not born ruthless, nor is he cold to everyone.
Deng Qingyu was afraid that the father and daughter would be hot, so she put the chopped fruits on a plate and sent it out.
Lu Wan withdrew his gaze and lowered his head to drink tea.
When Deng Qingyu came in again, Lu Wan chatted with her for a few words, and was about to drink the tea in the cup, so she thanked her for saying goodbye.
Deng Qingyu looked at the father and daughter in the yard and suddenly said sadly: "Miss Lu isn't curious about my relationship with Your Highness?"
Lu Wan didn't expect that she would suddenly mention this and smiled faintly: "Your Highness and his wife are harmonious and envious of others. People with discerning eyes can tell at a glance, so why do you need to ask more questions?"
Deng Qingyu showed a sad look on her face, lowered her head and smiled bitterly: "To be honest, my daughter said, I was originally a widow, and my husband died to save His Highness. Before he died, he entrusted me to His Highness and... and asked His Highness to marry me into the door. His Highness agreed..."
"In the past, I didn't think there was anything wrong with living with Your Highness. But since I returned to Shangjing, I realized that the identities of Your Highness and I are very different. Even if Your Highness wants to protect us mother and daughter, I am afraid that the emperor and the empress, and even the future Princess Yi will not tolerate us..."
Speaking of this, Deng Qingyu was already in tears. She was afraid that Li Yi would see it, so she quickly turned her head and took out a handkerchief to wipe her tears.
Lu Wan felt mixed feelings and couldn't tell what it felt, but he was more confused.
She looked at her and asked, "Why did Miss Deng suddenly tell me this?"
This is a very private matter between her and Li Yi. Logically, she should cover it tightly and not let people know.
Deng Qingyu looked at her helplessly, and the tears that had just been wiped out fell out again.
"Miss Lu, Your Highness wants to send us mother and daughter away. I know he is for our own good, but I really have no idea..."
"There is not a single person around me who can talk to you, so I want to talk to you, please give me some advice..."
Lu Wan heard what she said: "Miss Deng doesn't want to leave Shangjing?"
Deng Qingyu's expression was gloomy and tears were hanging in the corners of her eyes. She was truly pitiful.
She said sadly: "Since Jingyang left, the sky is vast and the earth is vast. I just feel that there is no place for me anymore. Later, Your Highness took me back and I felt at ease. I had to rely on myself again, but now I have to separate from him... Miss Lu, what should I do?"
After hearing her words, Lu Wan couldn't help but think of the scene of living alone and helplessly in the deep palace in his previous life, and could feel Deng's state of mind.
She took the veil to wipe her tears and comforted her: "His Highness Yi is a person who will do what he says. Since he promised to take care of you, he will definitely do it. Miss Deng does not need to have too many concerns."
"As for him letting you leave Beijing, you said just now. He is for your own good, so Miss Deng can just follow his arrangements with peace of mind."
Deng Qingyu mustered up the courage to ask, "Then you say, after he gets married and comes in, will Princess Yi let me in?"
Lu Wan looked at the man outside the window. At that time, he was helping Le Tong wipe the sweat from his face, with a focused and gentle expression. Le Tong twisted like a candy in his arms, smiling very happily.
Li Yi was something she had never seen before.
She couldn't help but remember what her mother told her during her lifetime that a person's love is limited, and if he gives it to others, he can't give it to you again.
The mother used this sentence to comfort Lu Jizhong's harsh treatment of her. At that time, she couldn't understand why her father treated her mother and daughter so differently.
Now, she really understands...
Lu Wan smiled, his voice floating, as if there was no place to fall.
"Don't worry, Madam, as long as your highness agrees, no one dares not let you in..."
In his previous life, he gave up his country for you, took you mother and daughter away from the troubles here, and avoided the northern border. In this life, he would be like this...
