When Lu Jianchuan saw Gu Yunxi's expression, he knew that she was guilty, but he was reluctant to expose her.

He nodded and said, "Well, I am indeed hungry. Let's go eat."

After saying that, Lu Jianchuan stood up, put on his clothes, and walked out hand in hand with Gu Yunxi.

The Lu family dining room.

When Gu Yunle saw Lu Jianchuan, he smiled and called out, "Brother-in-law!"

The word "brother-in-law" sounded very pleasant to Lu Jianchuan, and he smiled and nodded at Gu Yunle.

It was a simple home-cooked meal, and Lu Jianchuan enjoyed it very much, simply because he was eating it with Gu Yunxi.

After dinner, Gu Yunle went straight back to his room, and Lu Jianchuan pulled Gu Yunxi back to his room as well.

The couple had not seen each other for a long time. Although they often exchanged letters during this month, how could letters compare to face-to-face conversations?

Gu Yunxi lay in Lu Jianchuan's arms and slowly talked about what she had done at home in the past month.

Lu Jianchuan's eyes lit up, and he looked at Gu Yunxi with more appreciation. Such an outstanding woman turned out to be his wife! The mother of his child!

"Wife, shall we go visit the dean tomorrow? I've taken seven or eight days off, so I still have time. I can go visit your father and... Aunt Lin."

From the letter Gu Yunxi sent him, Lu Jianchuan already knew that his father-in-law, Gu Lao Da, had recently married a new wife.

As a son-in-law, it would be fine if he was far away in the capital, but now that he is back, he must go and visit, otherwise it would be unreasonable.

Gu Yunxi agreed with a smile: "Okay, then we'll go tomorrow morning."

"If the dean knew you were back, he would be very happy!"

Wei Xing, the dean of Longquan Academy and Lu Jianchuan's teacher, is very kind to Lu Jianchuan. In Lu Jianchuan's heart, Dean Wei is like a father.

The next morning, after breakfast, the couple let He Dachun drive the carriage out.

When they arrived at Longquan Academy, the uncle guarding the gate recognized Lu Jianchuan and Gu Yunxi at a glance, and hurriedly invited them into the academy with a smile.

"Master Lu, Madam Lu, please come in quickly. The dean has instructed that you don't need to inform him if you are coming. Just go directly to the dean."

Lu Jianchuan and Gu Yunxi thanked the uncle guarding the gate, gave him a small bag of snacks, and then walked into the academy with a smile.

Dean Wei was watching the students reciting their lessons. He looked out the window and saw Lu Jianchuan and Gu Yunxi looking at him with smiles on their faces. He was quite surprised.

"Well, you've memorized it well. Sit down and review the knowledge for the next class on your own. I'll be out for a while."

After Dean Wei finished his instructions, he walked out of the classroom with a smile and headed towards his residence.

Seeing this, Lu Jianchuan and Gu Yunxi smiled and followed half a step behind.

"Jianchuan, why are you back? Aren't you on duty in the capital at this time? How do you have time..." the dean asked in surprise and confusion.

Lu Jianchuan explained with a smile: "My father-in-law was seriously ill a few days ago. I had just taken office at that time and didn't dare to ask for leave. I finished the work at hand as soon as possible these days, asked for a few days off from my superiors, and came back to see him."

Dean Wei nodded slowly and said nothing more.

The two sat down and talked about Lu Jianchuan's work in the Hanlin Academy, the people he came into contact with, and so on.

Gu Yunxi didn't want to listen, so he simply walked out and admired the flowers and bamboo in Dean Wei's yard.

The whole yard was planted with golden jade bamboo, purple bamboo, yellow-stemmed Beijing bamboo, ground bamboo, early garden bamboo, etc., which made Gu Yunxi stunned. It must be said that Dean Wei has really good taste!

The corners of the walls, beside the doors and in the corners are all covered with lush and green bamboos, making the entire courtyard look extremely elegant and noble, which is in line with the demeanor of Dean Wei.

Unconsciously, Gu Yunxi became addicted, touching this bamboo and looking at that bamboo.

"Wife, let's go home!" Lu Jianchuan walked out with a smile. Looking at Gu Yunxi's obsessed look, he endured for a long time before calling her.

"Ah? Gone, gone?" Gu Yunxi reacted, still a little confused.

Lu Jianchuan smiled and nodded, took her hand and walked out, saying softly: "Wife, if you like bamboo, I will tell He Dachun later and ask him to find a gardener to plant bamboo in our yard."

"There is also the capital city. The courtyards in the capital city are big. You can plant bamboo anywhere you want. When you go back, ask Mo San to hire a gardener to do it."

Gu Yunxi's little hands were wrapped in Lu Jianchuan's big hands, feeling warm, and her heart was warm too.

The two came out of the academy and went directly to Dongpo Village.

Since Lu Jianchuan came back quietly this time and didn't want to alarm anyone, He Dachun drove the carriage directly to the door of Lao Gu's house before stopping.

Gu Yunxi and Lu Jianchuan quickly got off the carriage. When they crossed the yard, they found it empty and no one saw him. Lu Jianchuan couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

"Dad, Aunt Lin." Gu Yunxi walked in with a smile and greeted them.

Lu Jianchuan also shouted: "Dad, Aunt Lin."

Madam Lin had never seen Lu Jianchuan before, but from the address, she immediately realized that the man in front of her was Gu Yunxi's husband, Lord Lu!

She was originally sitting on the bed, but she quickly stood up and nodded with a smile: "Hey, Yun Xi is back, is this the son-in-law?"

"Yes, Aunt Lin, this is Ah Chuan, you can just call him Jian Chuan."

Mrs. Lin smiled and nodded, becoming a little reserved.

How could she dare to call him so familiarly? After all, Lu Jianchuan was an official in the capital! She had lived for half her life and had never seen an official in the capital!

In her eyes, the officials in the capital were more powerful than those in Jihu Town. She was very afraid of those officials in Jihu Town, let alone an official as high as Lu Jianchuan.

"Yunxi, please sit down. Come on, I'll go get you some water."

After Mrs. Lin finished speaking, she quickly opened the door curtain and went out.

Gu Yunxi glanced at her but didn't say anything. Mrs. Lin had never met Lu Jianchuan, so it was normal for her to feel a little reserved. She would feel more at ease after she left.

Boss Gu was also very surprised and struggled to get up, but Gu Yunxi stopped her in time.

"Dad, just lie down. Achuan is not an outsider."

Lu Jianchuan also smiled and advised, "Yes, yes, you're welcome, Dad."

Boss Gu was somewhat flattered, and he was also feeling a little uncomfortable, so he just lay down and asked, "Ah Chuan, why are you back?"

Lu Jianchuan smiled and explained: "I'll take a few days off and come back to see you and take Yunxi back to the capital. The children miss her."

Gu Yunxi twitched the corners of her mouth. Her three sons couldn’t speak yet. If they said they missed her, they wouldn’t be able to express it, right?

However, these words were only spoken to Boss Gu, who did not think much about it. A trace of shame flashed across his face, and he said, "It's all my fault. It's because of my weak body that you came back."

He was seriously ill at the time and felt that he was going to die. His only wish was to see Yun Xi and Yun Le again, so he asked someone to write a letter to Gu Yunxi.

If he knew that he could get better, Boss Gu would definitely not let anyone write a letter to Gu Yunxi.
