Chapter 217: Chapter 0217 - Returning to the Door for the Third Time 1_1

"Since it’s a secret, the fewer people know, the less danger there is. You don’t need to deliberately show me where you’ve hidden the valuables. I’m happy just knowing the basics." Feng Qingxue was impressed with Mr. Lu’s foresight. Hearing his conversations with Chen Ming and Xu Aiguo, she knew this elder was wise and chill with an eye that saw all.

Lu Jiang was taken aback before chuckling, "You’re the mistress of our house, and the control of our finances should be with you. And besides, we’re family, there’s no secrets between families."

No secrets amongst family?

Feng Qingxue was momentarily lost in thought, thinking about her own ’space’, thinking about her own time-travel.

But she understood clearly, was very well aware, that she could never reveal the secret of her time travel to anyone, not even to her life partner.

It wasn’t that she wasn’t forthcoming, but that time-travel was simply too fantastical for anyone.

She was scared, scared she would be treated as a freak.

In an era where many traditional customs and cultures were deemed as feudal superstitions, she could not afford any risks.

Lu Jiang, who was driving the cart with one hand, noted that his wife had not responded for a while. Turning to look at her, he saw his wife whose face was covered with a red handkerchief. "Qingxue, what are you thinking about? Did I say something wrong?"

"Not at all!" Feng Qingxue came back to her senses, "I was just feeling...comforted."

Comforted meant she was happy! Lu Jiang grinned, flashing his large white teeth, quick to attach a ’good husband’ label to himself, "Us Lu men, we spoil our wives!"

Feng Qingxue blushed as she retorted: "Self-praise much!"

Lu Jiang disagreed, he hadn’t flattered himself, "I can prove my adherence to the excellent Lu family traditions over time!"

Feng Qingxue tilted her head, her lips curling into a smile, "I look forward to seeing that!"

Excellent!

Lu Jiang nodded in agreement before he realized... Wait, wasn’t "look forward to it" basically saying she didn’t believe his words but would only judge his future actions? He turned to look at his wife, only to see the mischievous smile in her eyes.

That smile made her already beautiful eyes shine even brighter, as radiant as the dazzling stars in the night sky.

"You..." Lu Jiang helplessly looked at her fondly, a look that touched Feng Qingxue immensely. Such an expressive look was rarely seen on the faces of people from this era.

As the newlyweds chatted and laughed, time flew swiftly. The journey passed so quickly it seemed surreal.

It felt like they had hardly exchanged a few words before their mule cart entered the Wanglou Brigade.

Returning the cart to the brigade and taking the mule to the barn meant they had reached home.

As Mr. Lu was feeding the mule, he asked his son and daughter in law who had just returned, "You guys are returning home tomorrow, right? Have you brought the gifts to be given from the city? Even though Xiaoxue’s parents aren’t around, her uncle and aunt handled the marriage. Pay them a visit, it’s only right."

Lu Jiang froze, so did Feng Qingxue.

Both of them had remembered that they had to return home tomorrow, but they had forgotten all about the gifts!

Lu Jiang was quick to react, promptly answering, "The department store is often out of stock, so there’s no need for gifts. I and Qingxue can pick from what we brought back, or from the stuff that the comrades sent, and use them as gifts. They’re better than anything we could buy."

Making perfect sense to Mr. Lu, there was nothing he did not understand. And his son was correct, after all military supplies were unavailable outside.
