Chapter 38 Civilization (Part 5)

When I woke up from my sleep again, the oil lamp had already lit in the room.

In a world full of grilled fish, Zhu Chongjiu saw a slightly raised belly. It was Shuang'er. She was shouldering the dual responsibilities of her wife and mother with her tender shoulders. Although it was placed in another time and space, she could only go to high school at the age of her.

There was a deep sense of guilt that slowly surged from the bottom of my heart. Zhu Chongjiu tried hard to turn his head and showed a relaxed smile on his face: "It's okay. It doesn't matter. I was just a little tired just now."

"Wow..." Lu Shuanger immediately covered her mouth and cried bitterly. Several other concubines also burst into tears. This made Zhu Chongjiu feel more and more guilty. He blinked his eyes awkwardly and continued to comfort him in a low voice: "Don't cry. It's really okay. In fact, it's better to vomit some blood in my wounds. Spit out the blood in my stomach. It will naturally heal faster."

"Husband, please be careful in the future." Lu Shuang'er didn't know how to deal with it. She forced herself to hold back her crying and sobbed and begged for permission.

"Of course. I will suffer a loss and learn to be good. Next time I will go out and hide in the carriage and not show up." Zhu Chongjiu smiled and nodded weakly. "Don't cry anymore. Be good. Let the kitchen get me some food. I feel a little hungry."

"Husband, wait a moment. I will go now." When the concubines heard this, they immediately jumped up like frightened deer and rushed out.

The room is very big, but they must be a little crowded when they stay by the bed. So everyone just finds an excuse to disappear for a while so as not to be regarded as a thorn in the eyes by the head of the family in the future.

"I'll go and ask for my husband another pot of ginseng soup." Lu Shuang'er was slightly stunned by everyone's performance. Then her cheeks were slightly red. She stood up and made a gesture to leave.

The hand that was still by the bed was quickly clasped by Zhu Chongjiu. "Sit with me for a while and let them be busy. Thank you for your hard work these days."

"I'm not bitter." Lu Shuang'er's tears immediately flowed over her face. She shook her head and sobbed in a low voice. "You are so hard that you have to deal with the Mongolian court and beware of others stabbing others in the back. Sometimes, sometimes I feel that I am really useless. If I could share some of my burdens for you, my husband might not be so tired."

"Silly words. If you don't stand up, there are people who are afraid that you will interfere in politics in the harem. If you stand up, you must become the target of public criticism." Zhu Chongjiu patted his wife's hand lovingly and shook her head with a smile.

He was able to force the Huaiyang General Administration to set a development track. But he could not completely change people's hearts and change people's habits and thinking. That was not a thing of the past. Maybe he would not have achieved any results in his whole life...

"I'm not afraid. They can say whatever they want. At worst, I'll learn from Wu Zhao and kill all those guys who are chewing on the root of the gossip." Lu Shuang'er suddenly became stronger, shook her head and said gritting her teeth.

This sudden disaster made her grow up quickly. She is no longer the pearl in her grandfather’s favor, nor is she a simple girl she loves. She wants to become stronger and ruthless. In this way, she can adapt to the world outside the courtyard wall. In this way, she can help her husband and protect her children who have not yet been born.

Zhu Chongjiu was a little uncomfortable with his wife's changes. However, he quickly understood the cause of this change. Therefore, he smiled again and said very dotingly. "Okay. There are not many people around me who can help me. If you really want to be Wu Zhao, just be Wu Zhao. Who dares to say that when Emperor Gaozong was alive, he was not a loving couple with Wu Zhao. It is not necessarily worse to hand over the Huai'an army to you."

"No." Lu Shuang'er was startled again. He quickly reached out to cover her husband's mouth. "Husband. Don't scare me anymore... I don't mean that. I just want my husband to be safe."

"I know you are not greedy for power." Zhu Chongjiu gently grabbed his wife's hand and held it in her palm. It was very soft and cold. It also had a little bit of moisture, which made his heart instantly mock and filled with warmth. "But I did think too little about you before. The Mongolians are still qualified to appoint their own officials. I can't let you leave me and there is nothing left."

"Husband, don't say that, husband." Lu Shuang'er was shocked again when he heard this. He tried hard to pull his hand back. He sat up straight and explained his thoughts to her husband. However, he could not break free from the master of her husband's big hand. Just turn his body sideways and replenish quickly. "Husband has already given the Lu family enough. No matter how much, I am afraid that the Lu family can't afford it. Husband."

"The Lu family is the Lu family. You are you." Zhu Chongjiu's fingers tightened and interrupted in a low voice.

After the assassination, Xu Da was forced to imprison himself to avoid suspicion... The veteran of the Xuzhou uprising led by Su Mingzhe unceremoniously placed under house arrest by Liu Bowen, Feng Guoyong and others, and the Lu family had no ability at all. Or did not come forward to prevent any mistakes from happening. So if something really happened to him in the future, Zhu Chongjiu couldn't believe that the Lu family could protect Shuang'er and Shuang'er's belly, which was unborn. So he had to learn these lessons and make some arrangements first.

Zhu Chongjiu is not a fool. He just lacks experience in political struggle. After all, whether it is him in this world or the projection of another time and space, he belongs to the bottom of society. He cannot get in touch with those life-and-death disputes. When he begins to realize his simplicity, he will instinctively study and learn faster than anyone else. It is clean and thorough.

"I don't understand what my husband is saying." I felt the solemnity in my husband's words. Lu Shuang'er's hand struggled again and protested in a low voice.

So far, she has not found any mistakes in her grandfather, father, and uncle. So she has the obligation to protect her family in front of her husband...

Zhu Chongjiu obviously didn't want to continue this topic. He smiled and whispered: "Forget it. Let's not discuss these today. Our children are okay. Have you been scared these days?"

"No." Lu Shuang'er's thoughts were immediately attracted by the little life in her belly. She blushed and shook her head gently. "I have been trying hard to control myself these days. I dare not. I dare not let him feel my mood. The doctor said that he is conscious now and can hear the sounds around him."

Speaking of this, she felt panic again for no reason. She looked at Zhu Chongjiu's eyes and sought spiritual support. "Husband, you said, he. He wouldn't be really scared..."

"No. Our child, definitely not." Zhu Chongjiu knew nothing about this, but he gave the answer very calmly. "Don't look at who his grandfather is? Who is his mother? Our child, in the future, will definitely be as smart as you and as bold as me."

"My husband brags about himself again." Lu Shuang'er was so coaxed that she turned her worries into joy. She gave Zhu Chongjiu a blank look and ridiculed her in a low voice.
