Chapter 169: Big Gift
"How could it be a bad thing?" Chu Xu proudly explained the bird poop plan. He came up with the idea and Yuanyuan was responsible for the execution.
Everyone: "..."
This plan smells bad.
Everyone couldn't lie down anymore, so they all went to get hot water and take a shower.
Taking a bath was quite a relief. Shang Wan took Yuanyuan to take a bath, and Lu Chengjing took Chu Xu to take a bath.
Compared to the chatter and laughter next door, Lu Chengjing and Chu Xu looked at each other in silence and were very quiet.
Chu Xu tried to chat, "Why are you so thin?"
Lu Chengjing: "..."
Chu Xu didn't know that he had accurately stepped on the lightning point. He poked Lu Chengjing's ribs with his little hand and muttered: "It's all bones."
Lu Chengjing picked up the handkerchief expressionlessly, "Turn over and rub your back."
"Oh." Chu Xu turned around obediently and kept chattering, "Brother said that a man must be strong to protect his family and country. You can fall down if the wind blows."
"Students all seem to be thin, why?"
"Aunt Shang likes fat children, and she will definitely like strong ones when choosing men. You are so thin, why would Aunt Shang marry you?"
Without waiting for Lu Chengjing to answer, the child asked himself, "Mom said that girls like good-looking people. If you are good-looking, Aunt Shang must have taken a liking to your face."
The more Lu Chengjing listened, the darker his face became. Why does this little kid talk so much?
He put the handkerchief on the edge of the tub and said coldly: "Now wipe it off, go to bed."
Chu Xu looked back at him, "Are you angry?"
Lu Chengjing: "No."
"You are just angry." Chu Xu understood it himself and said while stepping on the small bench and climbing out of the tub, "I am also good-looking. I will eat more and grow longer. If I look good and have good health, I will definitely be able to marry someone in the future. Awesome wife.”
Lu Chengjing: "..."
Even though his hair has not even grown yet, he is already thinking about getting a wife.
Chu Xu Ma Liu wiped off the water on her body, put on the new pants and gown she bought two days ago, and climbed onto the kang to sleep.
After many days of "hard" life, the young master who used to have to be taken care of for everything has learned to dress, eat and sleep by himself without being coaxed at all.
Lu Chengjing put on his pajamas and walked out from behind the screen. He saw the child sleeping like a pig on the kang. Bo was kicked aside and most of it fell to the ground. Only a corner was still hanging on the edge of the kang.
Lu Chengjing shook his head helplessly, walked over and picked up the quilt, and put the back of his hand on Chu Xu's forehead and neck. When he found it was warm and sweatless, he put a corner of the quilt on Chu Xu's belly and tucked both sides under him to avoid being caught again. Kick it down.
Chu Xu groaned twice, tilted his head and fell asleep again.
Lu Chengjing half-closed the window, blew out the candles, and went out.
The businessman in the next door room is coaxing Yuanyuan to sleep in the evening. The little baby has just taken a bath. Her skin is pink, her eyes are sparkling, and she is very energetic.
Hearing the footsteps, the two women looked at the door curtain together.
Lu Chengjing opened the door curtain and walked in. His long hair was spread behind him, and water was still dripping from the end of his hair.
"Daddy!" Yuanyuan shouted happily and stretched out her little hands for a hug.
"It's late at night, why are you still not sleeping?" Lu Chengjing reached out to pick up his daughter and patted her back, "Waiting for daddy to tell a story?"
Yuanyuan nodded her little head immediately. The little baby has been conditioned by his father to refuse to sleep without listening to a bedtime story.
"Leave it to you." Shang Wan yawned. Coaxing a baby is a technical job and is more tiring than fighting.
She got up and went out to wipe her hair.
Lu Chengjing put Yuanyuan on the small bed, covered her with a small blanket, and softly told an original story.
Yuanyuan felt that her father's voice helped her fall asleep. Her big eyes, which were full of energy just now, became smaller and smaller. She clenched her fists and yawned. She fell asleep before she finished listening to a story.
Her chubby little fleshy face pressed a wrinkle on the pillow.
Lu Chengjing helped her adjust her sleeping position and made sure that her daughter was asleep before blowing out the candles and going out.
Outside, Shang Wan was leaning against the window, wiping his hair, and turned his head when he heard the voice, "Are you coaxed to sleep?"
"Yes." Lu Chengjing stepped forward to take the cloth and wiped his wife's hair skillfully.
Shang Wan, who had nothing to do, reached out and pinched the dripping hair on his back, pulled him over, pursed his lips and blew, "Huh——"
The crystal water droplets falling on the hair were blown to the ground, and a small gray flower splashed on the floor tiles.
She kept repeating the operation until all the water droplets were blown down.
Lu Chengjing let her go, reached for the wooden comb on the window sill, and combed the hair in his hand bit by bit.
Shang Wan looked up at him slightly and asked, "What news did Qiao Yu'an bring?"
"His people followed the fake Gao Qi to Yunyang Mansion and discovered his whereabouts. They lost two people while fleeing. The last person brought back news that mentioned several strongholds and related contacts."
"Have you been discovered?" Shang Wan frowned, "Won't those people evacuate if we alert the enemy?"
"At most it will cause alarm, it's nothing." Lu Chengjing helped Shang Wan comb his hair smoothly before freeing up his hands to take care of his own. As he wiped it, he said, "Those people's appetites have long been fed. Government and businessmen collude to protect each other. , won’t give up easily.”
Shang Wan nodded, "When Lin Jianshui exposes the matter, we will no longer be able to hide it. I don't know what Mr. An's plan is."
Lu Chengjing's voice was deep, "There are both witnesses and physical evidence in this case. Although it involves a lot of things, if we can get to the bottom of it, it will be enough to gain both fame and fortune. Mr. An is not a mediocre person. Whether it is for fame and fortune or for the people, he We will continue to investigate.”
Shang Wan clicked his tongue, "If you were someone who didn't want to cause trouble, you would have caused big trouble for others."
Lu Chengjing chuckled, "Who is an official in the court without ambition? I am giving Mr. An a big gift."
"Fox." Shang Wan muttered and turned around to close the open window.
She sighed: "This is the fault of the Lin family themselves. If Lin Jianshan had not sent Erya to replenish the money, Chen Guifang would have gone crazy and let Lin Jianshui wake up by mistake. Lin Jianshui would not have gone out of his way to find Erya. When they came to us, they not only handed over the evidence, but were also willing to serve as witnesses to report the matter. "
"He also reminded us about the house deed and land deed. We were able to successfully trick the Lin family, thanks to him."
Thinking of the forged official seal, Shang Wan asked, "Do you think Lin Jianshui will suddenly regret confessing us?"
Lu Chengjing shook his head, "He has no evidence and is making empty promises. The government will not believe him easily. Furthermore, some of the evidence, including kidnapping and trafficking of young children, forcing girls into prostitution, collusion between government and businessmen, corruption and bribery, etc., has been sent to Mr. An. Even if Lin Jianshui wanted to regret it, it would be too late." , being a witness may save one’s life.”
"Besides, if he wants Erya to live a good life, he will know what to do and what not to do."
Shang Wan reached out and touched his half-dried hair, thinking it would be nice if there was a hair dryer in this world.
After thinking about it, I realized that even if I had a hair dryer, it would be useless. Without a hair dryer, it would just be a decoration.
Seeing that she was distracted, Lu Chengjing asked softly: "What are you thinking about?"
