Reborn to be married, the mistress of the Marquis's Mansion is so sweet

When Lin Wan received the news that His Majesty had sent someone to Zhuangzi to convey the imperial edict, she knew that the person leading the army this time would probably be Marquis Lu.

Marquis Lu was not in good health, mostly due to old injuries from the battlefield, but he had a good foundation, and he had not fallen behind in martial arts after so many years of fighting. He was also very angry about Lu Tingxu's incompetence, but now the Marquis's mansion started to go smoothly under Lin Wan's management. Lu Tingxu also started to make progress, and Marquis Lu's health got better day by day.

Moreover, during the time he was recuperating at the farm, he often went hunting in the mountains behind the farm. He always had a good harvest and his spirits became better and better.

The most important point is that the northwest is where Marquis Lu was stationed and fought when he was young. It was the battlefield where he fought bloody battles when he was young. Also, there are his former subordinates and comrades there. They all stayed on the northwest border. Even after so many years, they still regard Marquis Lu and the Yongning Marquisate as their main generals in their hearts.

Marquis Lu went straight to the palace after receiving the imperial edict at the farm, while Xiao returned to the marquis' mansion with the servants.

Lin Wan took Chunfeng and Yanliu to wait at the gate of Yongning Hou. After Xiao's convoy returned home, Lin Wan personally helped her into the main courtyard.

A few months after Xiao left the house, Lin Wan renovated the main courtyard. Some old decorations, window screens, tables and chairs were all replaced with new ones. A few pomegranate trees were also transplanted in the yard. Now the bright red pomegranate flowers are in full bloom, and occasionally a few small pomegranates pop out among the leaves.

As soon as Xiao entered the courtyard, she was attracted by the pomegranate tree and couldn't help but smile.

She had been anxious ever since she received the imperial edict at Zhuangzi.

When she was young, she had accompanied Lord Lu in the northwest for many years and knew the harsh environment there. At that time, those who were young and strong could endure it. But now that she is old, she is afraid from the bottom of her heart when she recalls the sandstorms and the biting cold.

But the emperor's will cannot be disobeyed, and Marquis Lu has always been concerned about his old friends over there. Although he returned to Shangjing due to health reasons, what he missed most was the time he spent fighting on the battlefield with the soldiers in the northwest.

Now that the Hu people are invading, the border they once guarded is once again in danger. Xiao believes that even if the emperor does not issue an order, Marquis Lu will take the initiative to apply to return to the northwest.

But even though I can understand and comprehend everything, it is still a little hard to accept when I really face it.

On the way back, Xiao sat in the carriage, feeling conflicted. Marquis Lu was going to the northwest. Should she go with him?

Go, but her health is much worse than Lu Hou's. Although she has recovered a lot after resting for such a long time, can she survive in such an environment in the northwest? If she has an accident on the road or during the war, it will also affect Lu Hou.

But if she didn't go, she and Marquis Lu had never been apart since they got married. When they were stationed in the northwest, she personally took care of Marquis Lu every time he was injured. Now that he was old, she wanted him to go to the battlefield alone. If something unexpected happened, how could she bear it?

Xiao felt like there were two little people pulling her in her heart. One said she wanted to go and accompany Lord Lu. The other said she couldn't help much if she went, and might even be a burden to him, so it was better for her to wait at home.

After thinking for a long time, she still couldn't come up with a good solution. Xiao Shi couldn't help but feel a little upset. When she entered the door, she saw Lin Wan and Lu Tingxu's two concubines waiting at the door. She just forced a smile and exchanged a few words with Lin Wan. Others ignored her. Even though Yan Liu was pregnant with her long-awaited grandson, she just glanced at the bulging belly and didn't say anything.

It was not until now, when she saw the newly renovated yard and the vibrant pomegranate tree, that Xiao felt a little better.

Glancing at Lin Wan who was holding her arm and walking beside her, Xiao smiled and patted her hand, "Thank you for your hard work. The mansion is grateful to you!"

Seeing that Xiao finally smiled, Lin Wan felt relieved. "These are all what I should do. Mother, take a look. I hope you like them. There is also a training ground in the back. The prince has seen it himself."

"Leave it there for now, and go back when you have time. I don't know how long it will take for the Marquis to come back this time."

As she spoke, Xiao couldn't help but sigh again.

After entering the house and sitting down, Xiao looked at Chunfeng and Yanliu who had been following quietly behind her, and said, "You can go back. Since you are already concubines in the mansion, you must listen to the mistress in everything in the future. I don't need you to greet me and serve me here. Just take good care of the prince and the young lady."

Chunfeng and the other two bowed and said in unison that they remembered it.

Xiao looked at Yan Liu again. Yan Liu had been staying in the yard to take care of her pregnancy recently and seldom went out, so her complexion had gradually improved. Now she was wearing a loose dress and her belly was already visible. Xiao looked at her bulging belly and gave her some instructions.

"Since you are blessed with a child, you should know how to cherish it. Don't think that you are honored by having a child and make trouble in the mansion. Wan'er is kind and takes care of you, but if I know that you dare to have other thoughts with the child in your belly, I will be the first to tolerate you!"

Yan Liu lowered her eyes and said softly, "Yes, I understand. I have decided to give the child to Madam to raise after it is born."

Xiao nodded when she heard this. "It's best if you think this way. Wan'er is capable and knowledgeable. It will only be good for the child to follow her. In this case, I won't say much. Just go back and take good care of the child."

"Yes, I'll take my leave."

The two of them bowed and left.

The room fell silent for a moment. Seeing Xiao's worried face, Lin Wan knew that Marquis Lu's entry into the palace made her worried, so she quietly stayed by her side, occasionally talking about things in the mansion.

When Xiao heard Lin Wan say that Lu Tingxu worked very hard in the Jinwu Guard, and even found a master to learn Kung Fu, and was willing to work hard and endure hardships, her expression warmed up a little.

"Good boy, this is all thanks to you!" Xiao sighed while holding Lin Wan's hand.

"It's all the prince's own hard work. I can't help much."

Xiao shook her head. "I have been with his father for so many years. I have beaten him and scolded him, but he just won't concentrate on learning some martial arts. Since he was given the job of the Jinwu Guard, he has never gone to work properly. Now he can go there every day to do his job properly and even knows to learn martial arts. This change is only because of your marriage!"

Lin Wan felt a little guilty after being praised. She actually didn't really care about Lu Tingxu. She was more concerned about the affairs in the mansion. The most she spent with Lu Tingxu was that he would come to her to discuss something and she would help him with some ideas. Also, if he did something wrong outside and got into trouble, she would help him when he found her.

As for why Lu Tingxu suddenly changed and wanted to work hard and make progress, Lin Wan didn't know.

But after Lin Fu married him in his previous life, until Lin Wan's death, Lu Tingxu seemed to have been living a mediocre life, indulging in love affairs and quarreling with Lin Fu all day long.

Could it be that it really has something to do with me? Lin Wan was a little skeptical, but it was a good thing that Lu Tingxu was willing to change. He was motivated and could make some achievements in the court. It would only benefit Lin Wan and the Marquis' Mansion, not harm.

In this case, Lin Wan was too lazy to think about the reason for his change.

When Lu Hou and Lu Tingxu came back in the evening, they brought back the news that Lu Hou was the general leading the expedition.

But surprisingly, Lu Tingxu was also on the list of people going on the expedition, and he applied for it on his own initiative.
