Chapter 1588: Chapter 1588: Unforeseen Disaster 2

After eating and digesting, and lulling the child to sleep, Lu Jiang washed his daughter’s scarf and hat, hanging them near the brazier.

Feng Qingxue, meanwhile, was applying Ya Shuang snow cream in front of the mirror and rubbing clam oil on her hands. The skincare products stored in space weren’t plentiful, enough to last maybe five more years, so she had to use them sparingly. However, there were enough shampoos and shower gels to last twenty years.

Luckily, she was very health-conscious, and a healthy body was better than any skincare product.

In fact, one’s health is often reflected in appearance. If the body isn’t healthy, no amount of skincare will help.

The deeper her study into Chinese medicine, the more she understood the importance of health to beauty.

After finishing with her hands and face, Feng Qingxue began to soak her feet, casually combing her hair with a Rosewood Comb she’d picked up at the recycle station. As she combed absentmindedly, she suddenly remembered the phone call from earlier, "What call did you take today?"

Lu Jiang replied, "Military secret, strictly confidential."

Feng Qingxue rolled her eyes but decided not to press the matter. She was quite familiar with the regulations in the military and wasn’t overly curious about military matters.

"Why aren’t you asking anymore?" Lu Jiang couldn’t help but probe.

Seeing his expression, Feng Qingxue knew it wasn’t really a military secret, but she played along considerately, "Didn’t you say it was a military secret? Disclosing it would be a mistake."

"Comfort me a bit, and I’ll tell you."

Feng Qingxue responded with a prolonged "Oh," without comforting him at all.

As her two pale feet rubbed against each other in the basin, Lu Jiang squatted down to wash her feet and pressed the acupoints on her soles, "Standing for surgery all day must have been tiring, your legs and feet seem a bit swollen."

"It’s fine, I’m used to it." The longest surgery had her standing for over a dozen hours.

Lu Jiang felt very sorry for her, "Cui Shaoyuan called me."

"Oh? What news did he deliver?" Cui Shaoyuan had always been in touch with them, often bringing varied news. Feng Qingxue had secretly sent them seven Bezoar Pills, maintaining a good relationship between the families.

Lu Jiang said, "The Rong Family didn’t hide the fact that they found the child. Hu Lan, with Jiaoyang, visited family and friends. Anyone of high status is now aware, and during the New Year’s performance at the auditorium, someone, seeing Jiaoyang as handsome, offered matchmaking."

"What?" Placing their Qingyun in disregard?

"Cui Shaoyuan was present at the time and heard Hu Lan saying that Jiaoyang already had someone, politely declining everyone’s kindness."

Feng Qingxue patted her heart, "That shows Hu Lan is very considerate and righteous."

Li Jiaoyang liked Feng Qingxue, and with Hu Lan’s backing, their future marriage seemed worry-free.

"Yes, Hu Lan is very considerate and righteous. Someone then asked about Jiaoyang’s girlfriend, about her family and work. They probably thought since Jiaoyang grew up in an orphanage, he wouldn’t find someone excellent in all aspects. But as soon as Hu Lan mentioned our younger sister’s name, Du Juan and Wa Zhanling’s mother-daughter duo turned green."

Feng Qingxue interrupted him, "Wait a minute, what has Zhanpeng’s mom or Zhanpeng’s sister got to do with it?"

Lu Jiang laughed, "Both mother and daughter were present, and it was Du Juan who asked the question."

The Feng Qingyun, whom their family had discarded like an old shoe, was considered a treasure by the Rong Family and Hu Lan, indirectly becoming a relative of the Lu Family. Meanwhile, their own little son was still working overseas, single as ever, and recently, there weren’t many willing to play matchmaker. How could Du Juan feel good about that?
