Mrs. Lu stood in front of the gate of the mansion. Her figure was a little thin, but she could not hide her deep expectation.

The sun shone on her body in patches, casting a faint golden glow on her furrowed brows. When the carriage in the distance slowly came into view, her eyes lit up instantly, as if even the wind around her had softened a little. She lifted her skirt involuntarily, and with a bit of urgency and caution in her steps, she called softly, "Yuan'er..." There were thousands of words hidden in her voice, but also a bit of restraint and caution.

"Mom, slow down!" Seeing this, Lu Yucheng hurriedly took a few steps forward and held his mother's arm steadily.

Lu Xuan followed closely behind, with a warm and sincere smile on his face, which was full of relief.

The carriage slowly stopped, the door opened slightly, and Lu Lingyuan walked out of the car. Her eyes were flashing with complex emotions, and tears were swirling in her eyes, but she forced herself not to let them fall. "Mother..." she called softly, with a tremor in her voice, which showed her deep attachment to home.

Upon hearing this, Mrs. Lu took two steps at a time and held Lu Lingyuan's hand tightly, as if she was afraid that she would disappear again. "Yuan'er, are you okay?" Her voice was slightly choked and her eyes were red. She looked her daughter up and down, afraid to miss any scars. "Are you hurt? You really scared your mother to death." Her words were full of fear and reluctance.

Lu Lingyuan felt the warmth of her mother's palm, and a warm current surged in her heart. She raised the corners of her mouth slightly and whispered, "My daughter is fine, mother doesn't have to worry!" That smile was gentle and firm, as if it could dispel all the haze.

After comforting her mother, Lu Lingyuan slowly turned around and performed standard etiquette to her father and brother, "My daughter greets my father, and I greet my brother!" Every movement revealed her good upbringing and respect for her family.

"I'm glad you're back!" Lu Xuan stepped forward and patted her shoulder gently, his eyes full of kindness. "Yuan'er has grown up, and your father hardly recognizes you." His words were full of pride and emotion.

"Father is right. Yuan'er is more beautiful now than when she was a child." Lu Yucheng echoed from the side. His eyes were full of admiration and love for his sister, and he praised her generously.

Hearing this, Lu Lingyuan smiled even more tenderly. She looked around but did not see her second brother. She couldn't help but ask curiously, "Why don't I see my second brother?"

"He suddenly had the urge a few days ago to go out and study to broaden his horizons, and he hasn't come back yet. If Yuchen knew you were coming back, he would definitely not have gone out." Lu Yucheng said with a smile.

"Okay, Yuan'er must be exhausted from the long journey, go back and rest first." Lu Xuan interrupted the topic at the right time and ordered in a deep voice, his tone full of love and concern for his daughter.

"Yes, father." Lu Lingyuan replied, her eyes flashing with longing and attachment to home.

Mrs. Lu held Lu Lingyuan's hand all the time and never let go. She said with concern: "You were frightened yesterday. Let the doctor in the mansion take a good look at you and prescribe some medicine to calm you down." That meticulous care made Lu Lingyuan feel warm in her heart. Over the years, her father and mother had sent many people to take care of her. They took care of her meticulously, but no matter how well they took care of her, they were not her relatives.

Now, just a few words of advice and care from her mother can make her heart warm.

In the afternoon, Cui Zhaoling arrived as promised. Over the years, he frequently visited the Lu Mansion and had already become an indispensable member of the Lu family. Lu Xuan had high hopes for him. He not only regarded him as the son of a close friend, but also as half of his own son, teaching him everything he knew without reservation. Cui Zhaoling's knowledge also improved day by day, and he became as close as brothers with the Lu brothers.

His arrival added a bit of liveliness and warmth to the Lu family.

After Lu Lingyuan finished washing up, Mrs. Lu pulled her to sit on the couch and said softly, "The child from the Cui family is here, Yuaner, do you want to meet him?" Mrs. Lu respected her opinion very much.

"Don't feel any burden. This child has been raised by your mother and father. Her character and ability are trustworthy. Now the mourning period is over, and our two families have discussed the wedding date. We are just waiting for you to come back." Mrs. Lu carefully observed every movement on her face.
