It's good to exchange marriages. My sister eats coarse food while I wear gold and silver.

"Ah."

Seeing Yuan Buwei nod, Lu Sui's breathing quickened. "I know Shan Clan because the crossbows used by the Gale Camp were made by Shan Clan. But Shan Clan is very mysterious, and even the emperor doesn't take them seriously. But Shan Ji doesn't look like a mysterious Shan Clan member at all."

"His mother's name is Shan Yaoguang, she is the most talented person in the Shan family in the past hundred years. His father is a famous swordsman in the martial arts world. Because of his chivalrous spirit and his willingness to help the weak, everyone who sees him calls him the Great Knight Wuyou. The two met in the martial arts world and later fell in love, but the Shan family did not agree with them being together."

"I seem to have heard of the name Wuyou Daxia. He also seems to come from a prominent family. Logically, this marriage should not be opposed by the Shan family, right?"

"The Shan family has a fragment of an ancient mechanical technique, which is the Shan family's secret treasure. Before Shan Ji's mother appeared, no one could crack it."

Lu Sui was startled, his eyes widened: "Ah Wei, are you saying that Shan Ji's mother can decipher this incomplete copy of the mechanical art?"

"Yes, I also heard from Master. It is said that when she cracked one page, it caused a sensation in the Shan family. After discussion, the elders of the Shan family decided that if Shan Yaoguang could crack all the remaining pages, she would be the next head of the family. Moreover, she would be the first female head of the family in the history of the Shan family."

"No, if that's what she was promised, then doesn't she have the right to freely choose who to marry?" Judging from Lu Sui's experience, "I guess those elders must have used the title of the head of the family to hold her back and make her work for the Shan family. Besides, she's a woman, and she can actually solve the mechanical tricks that so many men in the Shan family can't. Those people must be envious and jealous, and they must be bullying Shan Ji's mother openly or secretly."

"I don't know what happened to Shan Yaoguang. I only know that she promised Shan that she would decipher all the fragments, but Shan did not agree to their marriage. She eloped with her husband in anger, and they found a beautiful place to live. A year later, Shan Ji was born, but such a peaceful life only lasted for three years. Three years later, Shan besieged the courtyard. After some negotiations, they captured Shan Ji and asked the two to exchange the deciphered fragments for him."

"How despicable! You actually use the child as a threat." Lu Sui cursed.

"Shan Yaoguang spent another three years to decipher the incomplete copy, but because the incomplete copy became more and more difficult in the later part, she really couldn't decipher it. Seeing his wife withering away because of missing their son and deciphering the incomplete copy, the hero Wuyou went to the Shan family alone to rescue Shan Ji, but he was ambushed and it took a lot of effort to escape. Later, he met Yunyou's master, who recognized him as the hero Wuyou and took him back to Yaowang Valley for treatment, but he was too seriously injured and died in the end."

When Yuan Buwei finished speaking.

The room was suddenly filled with a sad atmosphere.

"Then, what about Shan Ji's mother?"

"Master used the address left by Wuyou the Great Warrior to find Shan Yaoguang. After she learned of her husband's behavior, she took the incomplete copy to the Shan family. About a month later, she brought Shan Ji back to Yaowang Valley. She was already too deeply poisoned. Before she died, she asked Master to take Shan Ji in, and then she passed away."

Yuan Buwei sighed and continued, "During the three years Shan Ji spent at the Shan family, he lived a life worse than pigs and dogs. He also witnessed his mother's death from poisoning. His emotions became very unstable and he would wake up screaming when he slept. Because there were not many people of his age in the valley at that time, his behavior would scare others, and the master was busy with other things, I volunteered to take care of him and help him get rid of the darkness in his past."

"No wonder he reacted so strongly when he heard what you said." Lu Sui frowned, "Then he shouldn't have treated you like that. His suffering was not caused by you."

"Because in order to get close to him and gain his trust, I told him that I was abandoned by my family, so he thought that he and I were both orphans, and we should support each other and stay together forever."

I heard Yuan Buwei say: Keep each other warm and stay together forever.

Lu Sui was panicked: "Ah, Awei, if the marriage was not granted, would you be with him..."

"Will not."

Yuan Buwei interrupted Lu Sui and blurted out, "If there hadn't been a marriage arranged, according to my original plan, I should have traveled around according to Master's plan. Only by traveling through mountains and rivers, experiencing and seeing, can I find what I really want to do. I can't deny that the marriage arranged has indeed disrupted all my plans."

Lu Sui was speechless now. He lowered his eyes to hide the slight disappointment in them.

"but……"

Yuan Buwei did not ignore Lu Sui's loss. "I now feel that every step in life is the best arrangement. If the emperor had not granted me the marriage, I would not have met you, let alone my parents-in-law who protected me like their own daughter, and my second brother, Han'er, who also cared about me. This must be what God said, 'When you are surrounded by mountains and rivers and think there is no way out, you will find a way out again.'"

Lu Sui's eyes, which were originally lonely, suddenly burst into light: "A-Awei, are you speaking from the heart? You don't mean to deceive me?"

"Why would I trick you? What good would that do me?"

Yuan Buwei snorted and laughed. The tangled and uneasy feeling in Shan Ji's heart suddenly disappeared when she faced Lu Sui.

"I do not believe."

"Why don't you believe it?" Yuan Buwei asked.

"Unless..." Lu Sui rolled his eyes, "You, you kiss me."

Yuan Buwei: ???

Why does he have such a request?

Seeing Yuan Buwei standing still, Lu Sui immediately put on a wronged face: "I didn't sleep all night because I was worried that something might happen to you. Just now Shan Ji was talking about your past in front of me. Every word he said was like stabbing me in the back."

After hearing this, Yuan Buwei's eyes started to look strange when she looked at Lu Sui.

He shouldn't have a fever, right?

"Awei, if you don't believe me, just feel it. My heart is still beating fast." Afraid that Yuan Buwei wouldn't believe him, Lu Sui reached out and tore open his clothes.

Although Yuan Buwei had seen Lu Sui without clothes countless times, it was a treatment and a serious matter.

Unlike now, there was desire in Lu Sui's eyes, but the redness of his earlobes revealed his inner shyness and nervousness.

Yuan Buwei was also bewitched, and walked towards him step by step and sat on the edge of the bed.

When the two looked at each other, the atmosphere in the room suddenly became charming.

Lu Sui stretched out his hand and for the first time took the initiative to grab Yuan Buwei's hand, slowly and gently placing it on his chest.

The skin under my palm is warm and my heart is beating.

The beats became faster and faster, and the body temperature gradually rose.

After a while, Lu Sui raised his wet eyes and asked in a hoarse voice: "Awei, do you feel it?"
