Lu Sui, who lived in the Lin Mansion, forgot his responsibilities. He went to the camp at dawn as before and did not return until midnight.

Two whole months.

What was supposed to be a devastating catastrophe was strangled in the cradle.

After old lady Dugu confirmed that the phantom poison would no longer affect people, the camp began to release the detained patients and reunite them with their families.

Because of this incident, Lu Sui gained even greater reputation than when he was fighting.

Some people even regarded him as a god, and whenever they saw him on the road, they would kneel down and kowtow to him.

Some people even took out the food they were reluctant to eat and stuffed it into Lu Sui's mouth.

He was so frightened that he asked the emperor for a few days' leave and hid in the Lin Mansion, not daring to step out of his room.

This morning.

Yuan Buwei sat in front of the dressing table, closed her eyes and let Lu Sui draw her eyebrows.

"are you done?"

"OK OK."

Yuan Buwei opened her eyes and saw two eyebrows in the bronze mirror, one thick and one thin, one high and one low. She didn't know whether to laugh or get angry: "Lu Sui, even you can make mistakes when you wield a sword or a gun. Your eyebrows are exactly like a caterpillar."

"Well, this is not my first time drawing. I'll draw it again for you."

"This is the third time you've painted it." Yuan Buwei covered her eyebrows to stop Lu Sui from doing it. "Move aside, I'll paint it myself."

"That's why I'm nervous. Besides, this is my first time drawing. I've gotten the hang of it after three times. If I draw for you every day, sooner or later I'll be able to draw better than you." Lu Sui said as he snatched the eyebrow pencil from Yuan Buwei's hand. "I don't believe I can't draw well today."

"Lu Sui, give me back my eyebrow pencil." Yuan Buwei reached out to grab it.

Lu Sui immediately raised his hand and turned his head away: "No."

"Lu Sui, give it back to me."

"No!"

Lu Sui winked, and when Yuan Buwei's fist landed on him, he dodged it lightly: "Hey, I can't hit you, I can't hit you."

"Lu Sui, stop!"

"If you let me draw, I will stop, otherwise I won't give it to you." Only in front of Yuan Buwei can Lu Sui show his true nature without reservation.

After chasing for a few rounds, Yuan Buwei was exhausted and looked at Lu Sui's smug look.

She stamped her feet, and this time she was really angry: "If you don't give me the eyebrow pencil, you will stay in the study tonight!"

"Oh? Awei, are you willing to let me sleep in the study?" Lu Sui said calmly, "The weather is getting colder day by day. Without me holding you, you will sleep alone until dawn and your hands and feet will not be warm."

"I can sleep with Chenxiang."

"No." Lu Sui pouted, "You can only sleep with me."

"No."

Yuan Buwei repeated to him everything Lu Sui had just said: "Hurry up and give me back my eyebrow pencil."

"I...you..."

Just when Lu Sui was feeling unhappy, someone knocked on the door: "Young Marquis, Young Madam, someone is looking for you outside."

Lu Sui glanced at Yuan Buwei before asking, "Who is it?"

"Yes, the eldest lady's father."

Yuan Buwei frowned when she heard this: "Why did he find the Lin Mansion?"

"Awei, if you don't want to see them, I'll go get rid of them." Lu Sui walked to Yuan Buwei and looked down at her. "If we can avoid seeing this disgusting person, then..."

"No, I have to see him. Only after seeing him will I know what he is up to." Yuan Buwei stretched out her hand to Lu Sui, "Give me the eyebrow pencil. You go first. I'll come over when I'm done."

This time, Lu Sui obediently handed the eyebrow pencil to Yuan Buwei: "Okay, I'll go first, you take your time."

The front hall of the Lin Mansion.

Lady Wanning was drinking tea. Next to her sat her eldest brother Lin Jingzhe. Opposite them sat the reserved Yuan Hanshu.

"Mother, uncle."

When Lu Sui strode into the front hall, Yuan Hanshu, who was originally sitting, stood up suddenly. Yuan's father even glanced behind him and asked, "Where is Bu Wei?"

"Bu Wei is busy right now, Master Yuan, you can tell me if you have anything to say."

All the previous events combined caused Yuan's father to completely lose his official position, and even the mansion bestowed by the emperor was taken back.

Yuan Hanshu never took care of the household. It was always Yuan's mother who took care of it. Yuan's mother doted on Yuan Jinse and not only prepared a generous dowry for her, but also secretly supported her after her marriage.

The concubine that Yuan Hanshu brought back was a lazy and gluttonous person. After she took over the Yuan Mansion, she squandered all the money in the Yuan family account in just a few months.

However, Yuan Hanshu only reprimanded her for giving birth to a son for him, but did not punish her. He sold the shop under his name, dismissed some of the servants, and moved back to the old house. Since he could not hire a teacher to teach his son, he taught him himself.

He thought that if he could just hold on for another eighteen years at most, and when his son passed the imperial examination and was valued by the emperor, he would be able to turn his life around.

But he didn't expect that his youngest daughter, whom he loved so much since childhood, stabbed the mistress to death in front of his children.

The son was frightened and fell seriously ill. After waking up, he became stupid and dull.

He consulted several doctors, but they all said there was nothing they could do.

He didn't want to be the only child in his family and be stupid all his life, so he thought of Yuan Buwei.

"Then I won't beat around the bush with you. Yao'er was frightened before. Bu Wei is a good doctor. She can cure him..."

"Who is Yao'er?" Lady Wanning interrupted Yuan Hanshu, "Could it be that he is the son of Master Yuan and his mistress, who has been hiding outside for seven or eight years?"

Yuan Hanshu's face flashed with embarrassment, and after a while he said: "Before, there were some misunderstandings between Bu Wei and me, but I am her father, the one who gave her life. Now her brother is sick, and as a sister, she can't just stand by and watch him die."

"Master Yuan, I think you are really a forgetful person. Didn't you say before that you would never have anything to do with Bu Wei again in this life, and that you would not allow Bu Wei to ask you for help when she encountered difficulties? Why are you now asking Bu Wei for help with such a flattering attitude?" Lady Wanning Marquis laughed instead of getting angry, "Also, let me correct your wording. You should be thankful that you are the one who gave Bu Wei life, otherwise, do you think you can still stand in front of us?"

A trace of panic flashed in Yuan Hanshu's eyes, and the next second he angrily said: "So what? Yuan Buwei's surname is Yuan, she is my daughter, even if I become a beggar, I am still her father, she should take care of me until the end of my life, if she is not happy, I will go and beat the drum to complain now."

Here we go again.

Lu Sui rolled his eyes in a very ungraceful manner, if it weren’t for the fact that Yuan Hanshu was already old.

No matter what, I'm going to beat him until his teeth are barraged.

"Okay, send your brother here."

A few people turned their heads and saw Yuan Buwei walking in.

When Lu Sui heard her words, he immediately walked up to her and asked in a surprised voice, "Awei, are you so angry that you are confused? Do you really want to take on this hot potato?"
