Transmigrated As My Former Uncle's Sweetheart - Chapter 1262

1262 He Had A Feeling About It

Lu Tingchen might not have any experience wooing girls, but he was not stupid either.

He was, in fact, a sensitive and observant person who was also considerate.

He felt that Chu Jiu did like him.

He had a feeling about it.

!!
“What?” Ling Lihua was a little curious when she saw how confident he was about it.

However, Lu Tingchen did not want to say anything more about it and stood up. “You should hurry up and write that letter to Grandmother. Otherwise, I’m afraid we won’t have enough time to prepare.”

“Alright, alright. I’ll write that letter to your grandmother now and get someone to deliver it at top speed.” Ling Lihua agreed to write the letter when she saw how confident he was.

No matter what, her son was taking the initiative to get married. As a mother, she should show him the biggest support.

She did a quick calculation of the days and estimated Weiwei must be reaching the imperial capital soon.

So, Ling Lihua wrote two letters. One was for the Dowager Duchess and the other was for Weiwei.

The Dowager Duchess was up there in years, after all. If she were to take care of Chen’s marriage on her own, it would be quite taxing on her.

Ling Lihua had to ask for Weiwei’s help.

Chu Jiu had walked halfway before ditching Lu Tingchen and returning to her tent.

She had wanted to give an explanation to the Grand Duchess, but after calming down, decided that explaining the situation would only end up making matters worse.

That was why she decided to return to her tent.

She had sat in there for a while before remembering that she had not taken a bath for quite a few days. She was feeling uncomfortable all over. She stood up and went out of the tent.

As she had expected, Lil Guo was standing guard outside.

“Is there anything you need help with, Miss Chu Jiu?” Lil Guo was especially friendly when he saw her appear.

Heir Presumptive Lu had just dropped by earlier. He had shared a horse ride with her and after finding out she was about to return to the imperial capital, the look on Heir Presumptive Lu’s face changed immediately. Lil Guo guessed that something was sparking between them.

The person in front of him could very well end up being Heir Presumptive Lu’s wife.

There would be no wrong in being friendlier to her.

“Lil Guo, can I trouble you to get me some hot water? I’d like to take a bath,” Chu Jiu asked with slight embarrassment.

“No problem. I’ll make arrangements right away,” Lil Guo replied and hurried off.

Lil Guo was very efficient with work. It was not long before he directed two soldiers to carry a bucket of water into Chu Jiu’s tent.

“Lil Guo, please stand guard outside for me,” Chu Jiu said with slight worry.

It was a tent, after all. There was only a separation of one layer of the tent. One push and everything within the tent could be seen.

Lil Guo said, “Please wait a moment, Miss Chu Jiu. I’ll get someone to bring you a folding screen.”

Chu Jiu was about to say it was too much trouble when Lil Guo ran off.

Something like a folding screen could only be found in the main tent.

Lil Guo had gone straight to Lu Tingchen’s tent.

It was at that moment when Lu Tingchen was in the middle of catching up with his military duties.

When he found out what Lil Guo was there for, the look in his eyes deepened and he immediately got Xu Chen to help move the folding screen into Chu Jiu’s tent.

Chu Jiu stared at the water that was spouting dense steam. She wanted to take a bath immediately.

However, she remembered Lil Guo asking her to wait and she knew he would enter at any time, so she waited.

It was still bearable for Chu Jiu if she was not looking at the bathtub, but now that the hot water was right in front of her, she began itching to take the bath.

She had not bathed for many days, after all.

It was not long before Lil Gup and Xu Chen came into the tent with the folding screen.

They placed it right in front of the bathtub.

This way, it would be able to provide her with some form of protection if someone comes in.

Chu Jiu felt even more awkward when she saw Xu Chen.

She did not need anyone to tell her that the folding screen must have been moved here directly from Lu Tingchen’s tent.

This gave her mixed emotions, but she still thanked them both for their help.

“You’re welcome. Please have your bath in peace, Miss Chu Jiu,” said Xu Chen as he left with Lil Guo.

Chu Jiu felt safer as she looked at the folding screen.

She began to undo her clothes and take them off.
