Chapter 64 -64: Lu Youxi Sure Has Her Share of Scheming
Grandma Xu was open-minded, usually a woman of few words, but she had a clear grasp of pretty much everything and possessed her own wisdom.
Grandma Xu didn’t know about the series of plans she and Zhou Shuyan had, but she could guess the important points, which Lu Youxi greatly admired.
“Youxue, come and have a look as well,” Grandma Xu said, seeing Lu Youxue stretching his neck at the door, curious yet too shy to intrude, “See what you think, so you can go back and assure your parents, and they can be at ease.”
Lu Youxue looked at Lu Youxi, his face clearly etching out the words “I want to see.”
Lu Youxi smiled and waved toward Youxue, “Come in.”
Lu Youxue quickly stepped over the high threshold and came to Lu Youxi’s side.
So the siblings followed Zhou Shuyan into a room with Grandma Xu.
Grandma Xu said with a smile, “Across from here is Xu Mai’s room.”
What Grandma Xu referred to as ‘across from here’ was on the other side of the courtyard.
The room Zhou Shuyan and Grandma Xu had prepared for Lu Youxi was across the yard, as well.
Zhou Shuyan: “…”
Lu Youxi couldn’t help but chuckle, opened the door, and saw that Grandma Xu had cleaned everything spotlessly; even the blankets had been sun-dried.
Opening the door, one could instantly smell the distinct scent of sunshine.
The room was bright and tidy, and even though the wardrobe wasn’t new, it was scrubbed clean.
The room was lustrous, and the sunlight streaming through the large windows made it feel naturally bright inside.
This room was completely different from the small storage room converted bedroom she had stayed in at the Lu Family’s home.
That small room also had a window, but it was tiny and faced north, seldom letting in sunlight, making the room cold and damp.
Grandma Xu was genuinely making an effort with the room preparations, and Lu Youxi was so moved that her nose tingled with emotion, “I really like it, thank you, Grandma Xu.”
“You all are living here; it’ll be lively,” Grandma Xu said with a laugh.
Lu Youxue blinked and asked, “Isn’t Brother Xu Mai living with my sister?”
“We aren’t living together, but you can’t tell anyone when you go back, including Dad and Mom. Do you understand?” Lu Youxi instructed Lu Youxue.
“Sure!” Lu Youxue promised vigorously.
He would definitely fulfill any task assigned by Lu Youxi.
Now, hearing that Lu Youxi wasn’t going to live with Xu Mai, Lu Youxue’s smile broadened, and he no longer pouted like he had on the way there.
He didn’t know exactly what married couples did when living together, he just thought it meant simply sharing a bed to sleep.
But even if it was just sharing a bed, he didn’t want Lu Youxi to share a bed with Zhou Shuyan.
From what he gathered from Lu Zhenguo and Liu Yushu, that wasn’t good.
Now that Lu Youxi was living in separate rooms from Xu Mai, Lu Youxue was surely pleased.
Lu Youxi still wasn’t entirely at ease, pulling Youxue closer to say, “When I move in, there’s bound to be some unpleasant gossip in the village. But no matter how distasteful it is, don’t pay it any mind, don’t argue with them and especially don’t explain to them that Xu Mai and I are living separately.”
Lu Youxue obediently nodded, then curiously asked, “Why not?”
Lu Youxi explained, “We have certain plans, so you absolutely mustn’t let others know we are living apart. It would spoil our plot.”
Lu Youxue’s eyes lit up instantly.
“Is it like the time you got hurt and ended up in the hospital and tricked…” Lu Youxue abruptly stopped, feeling it was inappropriate to say Lu Youxi tricked people. “Do you have a plan?”
Zhou Shuyan raised an eyebrow. It seemed that Lu Youxi was no stranger to clever ploys.
Even Youxue knew about it.
“Ahem!” Lu Youxi awkwardly glanced at the ceiling before continuing, “Yes, there’s a bit of a plan, so we need your cooperation.”
“No problem!” Lu Youxue said, thumping his chest in assurance, “I won’t say a word, and I won’t ruin your plan.”
Lu Youxue was happy that Lu Youxi didn’t hide anything from him.
He felt he was truly her partner now.
It had been the case at the hospital before and today as well.
Each time, Lu Youxi didn’t conceal anything from him.
He definitely wouldn’t let down Lu Youxi’s trust!
“Sis, is there anything else you need me to do?” Youxue said, eager to be involved, “Just tell me if you need anything!”
“Sure, I’ll contact you whenever,” Lu Youxi nodded.
Coming here, Youxue wasn’t too excited, but leaving Grandma Xu’s home, he was absolutely thrilled.

When Lu Youxue got back, he saw Lu Zhenguo and Liu Yushu muttering in front of Lu Youzhen’s small room.
As Youxue approached, they didn’t notice him.
Then he heard Liu Yushu say, “The time is almost up, but Youxi has already left. What do we do now?”
Lu Zhenguo was silent; he wanted to ask Youxi for advice, but couldn’t bring himself to say the words.
What kind of father would go to his daughter for counsel? It would show how useless he was.
“Dad, Mom, I’m back,” Lu Youxue spoke up at that moment.
Lu Zhenguo and Liu Yushu immediately turned their attention to him.
“Youxue!” Liu Yushu quickly grabbed Lu Youxue, “How are things at your sister’s place?”
“Really great!” Lu Youxue said. “Grandma Xu had prepared a room for Sis and Brother Xu Mai early on, it’s big and bright, much better than the small room at our place. There are no odd smells, just the smell of sunshine. The wardrobe might not be new but is spotless and big enough to hold lots of Sis’s things. The blankets and everything else are also all clean, and the windows are big and south-facing, with excellent sunlight!”
Lu Youxue’s description made Lu Zhenguo and Liu Yushu hang their heads.
“In a bit, I’ll go tidy up the parents’ room for Youxi,” Lu Zhenguo said, “Even though Youxi is married now, she might come back to stay, right?”
The room of the Lu Family’s elders was the biggest and best in their home.
Concerned that it might make Youxi uncomfortable, Liu Yushu suggested, “The parents’ room is a bit too nice; the villagers will talk if they find out, saying nasty things about Youxi. Let’s move there instead, and Youxi can stay in our room.”
Lu Zhenguo thought it made sense and agreed, “That’s a good idea.”
“I’ll start tidying up right now,” Liu Yushu said cheerfully and left.

Leaving Lu Zhenguo once again worrying about the small room.
“Dad, Sis said when I came back, it would be about time to release Lu Youzhen,” Lu Youxue no longer wanted to call Youzhen his sister.
His only sister was Lu Youxi.
What was Lu Youzhen to him!
Lu Zhenguo exhaled a sigh of relief, “Okay.”
So, he quickly took the keys and unlocked the small room.
Upon seeing them enter, Lu Youzhen let out wails of excitement.
Without a word, Lu Zhenguo untied Youzhen, “You can go back now.”
Youzhen’s limbs were numb from being bound. When she first tried to get up, her feet were so numb that she couldn’t even feel the firmness of the ground beneath her.
