That evening, Lu Zhenbei had just returned to the estate when he saw Nanny Fang waiting for him.
"Your Grace, the Madam requests your presence at Lan Courtyard," Nanny Fang said respectfully as she stepped forward.
A hint of barely perceptible joy flickered across Lu Zhenbei's stern face. "My wife is back?"
"Yes," Nanny Fang replied with a smile.
Upon hearing this, Lu Zhenbei hurried to Lan Courtyard without even taking the time to remove his armor.
This was the first time his wife had summoned him to Lan Courtyard since the incident with Aunt Wang.
He felt both surprised and flattered.
Lan Courtyard.
Lady Wei had rested all afternoon and felt much recovered.
When Lu Zhenbei entered, she was sipping a bowl of duck soup.
Seeing him enter, she ladled a bowl for him. "Go wash your hands and come have some soup. The weather's been so dry, and this duck soup is good for cooling you down."
Lu Zhenbei paused, listening to his wife's gentle fussing. He had missed this dearly.
