BXBX NOVEL Chapter 269 - 269 Your Highness, You Have to Think of A Way!
Even when she had no clue about how to deal with it previously, she had never thought of abandoning those people. There was actually hope now, so it was even more impossible for her to give up.
“That’s good!” After Wei Qing heaved a long sigh of relief, he didn’t hide his concern about this matter from Lin Suisui and said, “Sister, in that case, I won’t hide it from you!
“Marquis Pingnan has guarded the southern border for a few generations. We’ve really seen too many people get separated because of their addiction to hemp leaves! If we can master the method to stop hemp leave addiction, many people who are still suffering will be relieved of their pain.”
“I can’t give you a definite answer now, but I’ll try my best.” Lin Suisui thought about it for a moment, but her reply to Wei Qing was still very conservative.
After all, it was too early to say anything for sure!
Lin Suisui stayed behind to eat something before getting up to leave. Lu Ze chatted with the others for a while before returning to his room to rest.
The next morning, Lin Suisui was woken up by the sound of firecrackers exploding outside from time to time.
At this time every year, the happiest people were usually the children running around the streets with lanterns and firecrackers. From today onwards until the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, they would enjoy the most blissful time of the year.
Because there were no elders in the family, this year’s celebration was very simple. However, although it was simple, it wasn’t lonesome at all.
Not long after Lin Suisui washed up and left the room, she saw Pei Qian pulling Lu Ze, Wei Qing, and Zhou Hengchang to help him plaster couplets on the door.
According to Pei Qian, to have a good year, it was best for the head of the household to personally do it. Therefore, Pei Qian came early in the morning and dragged Lu Ze out to plaster couplets on the door one by one.
The few of them caused quite a commotion. Lin Suisui watched for a while but didn’t disturb them. Then, she turned around and went to look for Yuan Niang!
Time passed quickly. After a day of commotion, Lu Ze finally ignored Pei Qian’s suggestion to spend the New Year with them and chased the three of them to the house next door.
In order to stop Pei Qian’s nagging, Lu Ze instructed Su Le to open the storeroom and carry more than ten jars of all kinds of good wine over. There was also fresh mutton and vegetables from the kitchen. He didn’t forget to ask Mrs. Song to send some food to their courtyard.
This finally made Pei Qian stop. At least, he didn’t complain about coming over to drink with Lu Ze anymore!
After sending away a few annoying people, Lu Ze asked Bai Guo and the others, who had stayed in the courtyard to serve them, to disperse. At this moment, only he and Lin Suisui were left in the courtyard.
It had been snowing heavily tonight.
Lu Ze placed the charcoal basin under the corridor and pulled Lin Suisui under his black cloak. Then, the two of them admired the snow and plums while keeping watch under the corridor.
“This is our first new year together.”
Lu Ze touched the wine jar at the side to pour a cup for Lin Suisui, but Lin Suisui rejected him. She came over and took a sip of wine from the wine jar. Then, she looked up at Lu Ze with narrowed eyes and couldn’t help but smile. “Yes, I didn’t expect to spend the New Year with you in the north.”
“In the future, let’s spend the New Year together like this every year!” Lu Ze reached out and pulled Lin Suisui closer into his arms as he suggested in a low voice.
Lin Suisui nodded. She had clearly drunk too much tonight, but she could hold her liquor well. Even if she was drunk, she didn’t mess around. She just giggled happily like a child. “Okay, let’s drink together!”
As the little girl spoke, she reached out to touch Lu Ze’s wine jar again. Lu Ze subconsciously wanted to stop her, but he didn’t expect that although she couldn’t hold her liquor well, she was quite addicted to alcohol!
At this moment, she was getting more and more addicted. She would be unhappy if Lu Ze didn’t give it to her!
In the end, Lu Ze could only compromise and let her drink a few more mouthfuls. This time, the little girl, who had promised to stay until dawn, had already fallen asleep in Lu Ze’s arms before midnight.
Lu Ze looked down at Lin Suisui, who was sleeping soundly in his arms, and shook his head helplessly. Although the courtyard was as quiet as it used to be on New Year’s Eve every year, he didn’t feel lonely at all.
… .
Although Lin Suisui had been fed a bowl of hangover soup by Lu Ze last night, she still couldn’t help but feel a headache when she woke up early. After she tidied up, Lu Ze happened to walk in from outside. Seeing that she had woken up, he walked over with a smile and rubbed the top of her head. Then, he placed a string of gold ingots in her hand. “This is your New Year’s money.”
Lin Suisui blushed. While she was in a daze, Lu Ze had already turned around and left the room.
How old was she? Yet he gave her New Year’s money!
Although she was baffled, Lin Suisui was very happy to receive such a gift.
However, this happiness didn’t last long before it was broken by a little girl in disheveled clothes who rushed in from outside. Lin Suisui knew this girl. She was Xiao Rui, who had been chosen by Mrs. Song and sent to Doctor Luo to help.
“Your Highness, something happened! A large group of people rushed into our courtyard! Doctor Luo sent people to stop them, but those people were completely unreasonable. They claimed that Doctor Luo disregarded human lives and harmed their relatives in the army!
At this moment, Doctor Luo can’t hold on anymore, so I came here to report to you!
“Your Highness, you have to think of a way!”
When Xiao Rui saw Lin Suisui, without even catching her breath, she knelt down and told her the entire story. Then, she said anxiously, “Those people are completely unreasonable!
Doctor Luo’s face was scratched by the women who came over!”
“Bai Guo, go and invite Lu Ze over!” Lin Suisui couldn’t be bothered to ask too much. Instead of wasting time here, it was better to go over and investigate directly!
Moreover, from what Xiao Rui said, it was obvious that they couldn’t hold on for long! If those people really interrupted the treatment there at this time, all the efforts she and Doctor Luo had put in previously would probably be in vain.
Bai Guo responded and hurriedly ran towards the front yard.
Yin Qiao also received instructions to go out and get Su Le to prepare a carriage.
When Lin Suisui was ready to leave, Lu Ze had already arranged for Su Qi to call for help. He followed Lin Suisui into the carriage and rushed towards the courtyard where Doctor Luo was.
