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

"Li Yan has been to that horse farm. It closed down half a year ago due to poor management, and the owner and his family also moved out of the capital." Lu Sui's eyes were filled with regret as he spoke. "I originally thought that there must be Liefeng's family in that carriage. Even if there weren't, as long as they had stayed in the same horse farm with Liefeng, it would be fine. In the end, everything is gone, just like the incense on the table, nothing is left after it burns."

"That's not necessarily true. After the incense burns, it will leave ashes. Although it will disperse if you blow it, it is evidence that you have been here." Yuan Buwei looked at the letter in her hand. "Uncle Chu has a wide network of contacts. If we ask him for help, maybe we can find out where the owner of the horse farm has moved to?"

"Uncle Chu just lent me 150,000 yuan. Wouldn't it be a bad idea to bother him with such a small matter?"

"I've naturally thought of the problems you can think of." Yuan Buwei walked to the desk and took out several prepared medicine bags from the drawer. "These medicine bags have different effects, some for refreshing and brainwashing, some for calming the nerves and helping with sleep. I plan to make some more and send them to Yueshangshao, so that Uncle Chu can give them to the guests as small gifts."

Lu Sui took a medicine bag and lowered his head to smell it: "This smells like a faint medicinal fragrance, not pungent at all."

"I use only good medicinal materials. Oh, and they can also be used to repel mosquitoes and insects. Soldiers can hang them around their waists to avoid mosquito bites. Moreover, these medicine bags can be sold in my second brother's medicine shop in the future, which will be another source of income. In short, little by little, we may be able to earn enough to return the 150,000 to Uncle Chu one day."

"Awei...you have to take care of me, manage the household affairs, and find ways to earn more money. I really feel that if the emperor hadn't granted you the marriage, you would not only be free of these pressures, but would be happier and freer." Lu Sui lowered his head, and his inner inferiority complex surfaced again.

"To be honest, when I first learned that I was going to marry you, I did think so."

"Ah?" Lu Sui raised his head and stared at Yuan Buwei in a daze, his eyes darkening gradually. After all, he was the one who implicated Awei.

"I said before, I don't want to be a tool of the powerful, but I want to become the powerful myself. At that time, I also thought about whether I should get an identity and sneak into the selection to become a concubine?"

Lu Sui:?

"Then I thought, the emperor is old enough to be my father, and I can't look at him with affection. Not long after, the decree for marriage came down..."

"No, on the day of the Emperor's birthday banquet, you and Yuan Jinse mentioned that you two would choose candidates for your husband. If Yuan Jinse chose me, then you would marry Jiang Weiming. Would you choose to help him and help him achieve his career path?"

"If, as his wife, I can help him achieve a successful career, it will also be beneficial to me, but there is an additional condition." Facing Lu Sui who was looking at her nervously, Yuan Buwei could not tell him that she was reborn, but she did not want to hide it from him either.

"What strings attached?"

"He needs to be aware that half of his success is due to me. I don't expect him to be grateful, but at least he and his family respect me instead of kicking me away after achieving success."

Lu Sui had an illusion that when Awei said this, it was as if she had experienced it herself.

"Avi, I won't."

"How can you be sure that you won't?" Looking at Lu Sui who blurted out, Yuan Buwei smiled, "You know, people's hearts can change..."

"No!" Lu Sui interrupted Yuan Buwei and looked at her with determination. "Yuan Buwei is my wife, Lu Sui. She is the one who will spend my whole life with me. You also said that husband and wife are one in honor and disgrace. Then Lu Sui will never dislike Yuan Buwei, let alone abandon her."

Yuan Buwei blinked and her heart, which had seemed very steady, suddenly began to beat faster.

She chuckled and avoided Lu Sui's overly hot gaze: "You suddenly become so serious, I'm really a little uncomfortable with it."

"If I'm not serious about this kind of thing, how can I let you know that I'm sincere?" Lu Sui saw Yuan Buwei lowering her head, and the next second he stood up and walked towards her, "Awei, look at me."

"Uh, why did you stand up suddenly?" Yuan Buwei reached out to support him, but saw Lu Sui's hands passing through her waist and then tightly hugging her, "Lu, Lu Sui..."

"Avi?"

Lu Sui hugged Yuan Buwei, only to find that she only reached his shoulders. He bent down to look at her: "Why don't you look at me?"

His voice was not as serious as before, it sounded a little aggrieved, and a little coquettish.

"You, you're hugging me too tight..." Yuan Buwei freed one hand and placed it on Lu Sui's chest.

"is it?"

Lu Sui rolled his eyes and then stretched his arms forward.

Yuan Buwei was caught off guard and suddenly fell into Lu Sui's arms. Just as she raised her head to scold him, he kissed her.

"Well."

Her breath was stolen from her for a moment, and Yuan Buwei put her hands on Lu Sui's chest and suddenly curled up.

The previous few kisses were a bit bland because of Lu Sui's injury and because it was Yuan Buwei who took the initiative.

But this moment is different.

Yuan Buwei was held in Lu Sui's arms. His palms were burning, his arms were scorching, and the strength of his lips was destroying her sanity bit by bit.

She began to struggle and try to escape.

But Lu Sui held her even tighter, as if he wanted to rub her into his body.

"Avi~"

The warm breath exhaled by Lu Sui sprayed on Yuan Buwei's fair neck, and his thin lips rubbed it lightly, over and over again.

Yuan Buwei was rubbed by Lu Sui so hard that her whole body became weak and hot uncontrollably.

This was also the first time she realized that the Lu Sui standing in front of her was no longer the Lu Sui who lay on the bed and would blush or get angry if she teased him even a little.

Now, he is full of masculine charm, as if he is a huge net that covers him completely and he can no longer escape.

"Lu Sui, don't..."

Yuan Buwei felt really uncomfortable with his kiss and let out a sound.

"Awei, why are you closing your eyes?" Lu Sui's fingertips with thin calluses gently stroked Shangyuan Buwei's face, "Open my eyes and look at me."

He really did it knowingly.

Yuan Buwei refused to open her eyes. The next second, she felt a pain in her neck and immediately opened her eyes: "Lu Sui, are you born in the Year of the Dog?"

"Yes!"

Lu Sui, who was standing in front of him, had a slightly red face and dark eyes. He lowered his head and rubbed his nose against Yuan Buwei's face all the way down: "I am not a dog, but I can be your dog."

Yuan Buwei:!!!

Her eyes widened when she heard Lu Sui's words.

"Awei, is this okay?" Lu Sui continued to rub with a hoarse voice.

"Lu Sui, you..." Yuan Buwei freed one hand to stop Lu Sui's actions, but unexpectedly he turned his head and kissed her palm.
