Chapter 275: Can’t Afford to Lose
The thin sheet of letter paper, Lu Shi had read it over ten times, and the more she read, the colder she felt. In the end, her hand clenched tightly, crumpling the letter in her palm.
The letter was written by Song Zhiqing, and aside from explaining the reason for changing the steward, the rest contained greetings to the children, greetings to the elders at home, an apology to her, and then he mentioned being busy with official duties and possibly not being able to return to the capital for duty reporting this year.
The few words on the whole piece of letter paper didn’t make Lu Shi feel any sense of longing or separation sorrow within.
A woman’s intuition told her that something had happened over in Datong.
Thinking of this, Lu Shi felt as if she had been struck by an arrow in her chest, the dull pain was unbearable.
Tears of grievance slid down her cheeks. Had she not returned for a few months, yet he had a new person there?
Song Zhiqing, how cruel you are.
"Mother."
Song Ruwei walked in from outside, her face radiant with smiles, but her smile froze at the corners of her mouth when she saw Lu Shi shedding sorrowful tears.
"Mother? Why are you crying?"
Lu Shi turned to the side and wiped her eyes, smilingly saying, "It’s nothing, just now a flying insect flew into my eye. Did you just come back from clan school?" She then looked towards the door, not seeing the shadow of her son, and asked, "Where is your brother?"
"Second brother and third brother, upon hearing that second aunt is expecting, rushed to Liu Ting Pavilion, and Zhou’er also went there. I was afraid you’d worry, so I came back first to let you know."
Looking at her daughter’s fair and delicate face, Lu Shi thought to herself, coming back was worth it, her daughter’s skin had improved.
