Chapter 668 - Older Sister-in-law
After Zhu Junya and Lu Nianhua got married, one was meticulous and gentle, while the other one was generous and straightforward. Lu Nianhua doted on his wife extremely dearly after he finally married her with great difficulty. The two lived a happy and simple life. Both families were located relatively close to each other, so Zhu Junya would frequently return to her maiden home to accompany and talk to her lady mother, as well as help with managing the household. The relationship between the mother and daughter was even better than it was before the marriage.
Unfortunately, happiness did not last forever. The following year, Lu Changfeng returned to his hometown, and Zhu Junya followed them back to the region between the Guangdong and Guangxi districts. They were separated by thousands of miles and, in the ten years they were separated, her daughter had only returned twice to visit. A trace of melancholy flashed in Princess Consort Jing's heart. She regretted marrying her daughter to the kid with the surname Lu, causing the mother and daughter pair to live far apart from each other. In the past, she should've chosen a family located in the capital to marry her daughter to!
Alas! Her daughter married to a distant place, her second child was stationed at the border all year round, and her third child was going to be moving out once he got married. Imperial Prince Jing's Estate, which was big and grand, now appeared to be lonely and empty. As for her eldest son, after his wife gave birth to the eldest grandson, she didn't get pregnant again. Princess Consort Jing wondered whether she should discuss with her eldest son's wife whether they should invite Xiaocao here to take a look at her health, so she could give birth to a few more grandchildren. This way, the grandchildren could add more vitality to Imperial Prince Jing's Estate.
"Okay! Don't become upset over nothing, the younger generations will do all right on their own. Don't you have me by your side? In a few more years, after our eldest son can assume my responsibility, I will retire and become an idle prince. I will accompany you wherever you wish to go, okay?" When Imperial Prince Jing mentioned their daughter, the princess consort became unhappy. He knew why she was secretly worried, so he hurriedly explained his plan.
Princess Consort Jing's heart was feeling incomparably sweet, but she said, "You only know how to sweet talk, just promise me that by that time that your mind won't be preoccupied with thinking about your job and cause you to break your promise! After you retire from your post, we should buy a residence close to our daughter's residence. We should live in Guangzhou in the winter since it's warm there; in the summer, we should head back to the capital. We should rotate between the two sides!"
"Okay, I will agree to whatever you say! You're the decision maker of our family!" As long as his wife would stop being depressed, Imperial Prince Jing would promise her everything she wanted.
In early March, Princess Consort Jing's daughter, Zhu Junya finally arrived at the capital with her husband and children. Zhu Junyang was sent by his lady mother to pick up his older sister outside the city gate. His sister poked her head out of the carriage while excitedly waving her hands at him. She had ruddy cheeks, a bright smile, and her eyes had remained clear and pure. From this, he knew that her older sister had lived a good life these years.
After exchanging a few greetings with his brother-in-law, Zhu Junyang was surrounded by a group of small radish heads. When his older sister left the capital, she was already pregnant, so her eldest son was almost ten years old now. In addition to the eldest son, Lu Jiarui, there were four other children. All of her kids were male, and the youngest child, Lu Jiapei, was less than three years old. He wasn't afraid of strangers at all, grabbing onto his trouser without fear as he climbed up, huffing and puffing.
Zhu Junyang's mouth twitched slightly. In the capital, he was known as the 'cold-faced demon'. Not to even mention a child, even a half-grown man would become intimidated by his cold face. But why didn't it work when it came to his nephew?
