If I were born again, I would marry a strong but short-lived husband.

The next day, Shen Sui'an returned home.

She woke up in Lu Yuan's arms, still feeling a little dizzy.

She couldn't remember how ridiculous she had been last night. Now she just felt her legs were weak.

On the contrary, Lu Yuan's eyes were bright and he looked full of energy.

"Husband, we have to go back home today, it's time to get up." Shen Sui'an said with gritted teeth.

Lu Yuan hummed, and put his arm around her waist lazily, "Are you feeling backache?"

Being pressed by his big palm, Shen Sui'an groaned and fell softly on him.

"Don't move." Lu Yuan said hoarsely, "I'll rub it for you so you can walk."

"Is it my fault that I can't walk?" Shen Suian muttered unhappily.

It's all because of him.

Lu Yuan's hands were rough and warm, and his strength was well controlled. Shen Sui'an's soreness and weakness soon eased a lot.

Shen Sui breathed a sigh of relief and became more relaxed in his arms.

It was not until she noticed that his hands were becoming more and more presumptuous that she raised her head with her eyes wide open.

"Mujin, get some water and come in to wash up." Shen Suian gritted his teeth. If he stayed with him any longer, he didn't know when he would be able to go out.

Lu Yuan knew that today was an important day, so he stopped teasing her.

The two of them washed up, and the maids had already prepared breakfast.

After breakfast, Lu Yuan and she went to the upper room, paid their respects to Duke Lu and the old lady, and then went out.

"Husband, what about father and mother..." Shen Suian asked in a low voice.

They were going to visit the Shen family, so they should also tell Mr. Lu and Mrs. Lu about it.

"No need." Lu Yuan said coldly.

Shen Suian lowered his head silently. It was fine that Lu Yuan had no feelings for Mrs. Lu. After all, she was not his biological daughter.

How can he be so cold to his biological father?

However, she couldn't ask Lu Yuan directly now.

The Lu and Shen family's mansions are not far apart, just on adjacent streets.

In just a quarter of an hour, the carriage had stopped outside the Shen family's gate.

"Sui Sui!"

Before I got out of the car, I heard Jiang's voice coming in.

Shen Suian lifted the curtain in surprise and saw Jiang standing on the steps at a glance.

"Madam." Shen Sui'an's eyes lit up and he got out of the car quickly.

Although it had only been a few days, Shen Sui'an felt like he had been away from home for a long time. Even seeing Jiang Shi seemed like a lifetime ago.

Jiang held Shen Suian's hand and looked her up and down. Seeing her rosy face and watery eyes, she felt relieved.

Only then did she look at Lu Yuan who was following behind Shen Suian.

"Hello, mother-in-law." Lu Yuan bowed.

He looked very polite, completely different from the vicious and evil ghost rumored outside.

The fear in Jiang's heart also disappeared.

"Sui Sui, take your son-in-law to the upper room quickly. The old man and the old lady have been waiting for you since early morning." Jiang said with a smile.

Shen Sui'an looked back at Lu Yuan and said, "Okay."

The group of people walked towards the upper room in a lively manner.

Especially the gift box taken down from the Lu family's carriage, which has surprised many people.

The return gift is so heavy, which shows that the girl is very much loved and valued by her son-in-law.

"Madam, are you okay?" Shen Sui'an was most concerned about Jiang's health.

"Doctor Zhou took my pulse and the fetus is now stable," said Jiang with a smile.

Shen Sui'an was relieved. She looked around but did not see Aunt Cheng and her daughter.

I'll ask again in private later.

"I was the one who prevented them from showing up." Jiang lowered her voice.

"Since the day you got married, Sister Yi has been acting like a madman."

Shen Sui'an was slightly startled, "What happened to her?"

"Your father wanted to arrange a marriage for her, but she said she already has someone in her heart and will never marry anyone else in this life." Jiang lowered her voice for fear that Lu Yuan behind her would hear.

A hint of sarcasm flashed across Shen Sui'an's eyes.

She had never heard that Shen Siyi had a lover. In her previous life, she married the newly-crowned top scholar.

I don't know what he's up to again.

In a blink of an eye, we arrived at the upper room.

Shen Sui'an felt a pang of sadness when he saw that Old Master Shen's complexion had obviously improved.

"Granddaughter greets grandfather and grandmother."

She still remembered that when she returned home in her previous life, her grandfather was already ill and bedridden, and Lu Heng just greeted her and then left on the pretext of having something to do in the palace.

I didn't even stay with her at her parents' home for half a day.

"Get up quickly." Old Master Shen said with a smile, looking at Lu Yuan with his wise eyes.

When he was still in the court, Lu Yuan had not yet become the commander of the Pacification Division, but he had already heard of his name.

At that time, Lu Yuan was a royal guard whom the emperor admired very much.

Unexpectedly, in just a few years, he had become a commander of the third rank.

After the greetings, everyone took their seats.

Old Master Shen did not ask a single question about court affairs, but only about some ordinary trivial matters. After just a few words, Shen Jianglin came back.

After he bowed to Old Master Shen and Old Madam, he looked at Shen Sui'an with a stern face.

"How did your family teach you the rules that you are so arrogant and domineering in your husband's house? Do you want people outside to laugh at me for not knowing how to educate a daughter, and for teaching you to be so disobedient to elders and harsh to your sisters-in-law?" Shen Jianglin scolded Shen Suian without waiting for her to speak.

Shen Sui'an felt a chill throughout his body, and the faint smile on his lips froze.

No matter how much pain she had experienced, she was still hurt by Shen Jianglin's indiscriminate scolding and her eyes turned red.

Jiang was also stunned. She couldn't believe why her husband would scold Shen Sui'an like that in front of her son-in-law.

This was clearly intended to make it so that Shen Suian would not be able to hold her head up in front of her husband's family in the future.

"I really don't know what I did wrong that my father would blame me so harshly." Shen Sui'an said coldly.

"Hmph, didn't you deliberately delay serving tea to the elders? And you treated the girl from your husband's family harshly? You have made me lose face!" Shen Jianglin cursed angrily.

The teacup in Old Master Shen's hand slammed down at Shen Jianglin's feet. "Master Shen, you are so arrogant!"

"Father, you can't indulge her anymore." Shen Jianglin shouted with his neck stiff.

"Father-in-law, I don't know where you heard these false words. Why don't you ask me first whether it is true? I should be the one who knows best what Sui'an did in the Lu family." Lu Yuan stood beside Shen Sui'an and looked at Shen Jianglin coldly.

"Lu Yuan, you don't need to explain for her..." Shen Jianglin waved his hands, his face full of disgust.

Lu Yuan's expression darkened. "I went to offer tea with Sui'an. Why did my father-in-law only blame her and not me? As my younger sister, my sister-in-law was disrespectful to my eldest sister-in-law. What's wrong with Sui'an scolding her? Should I, as the eldest sister-in-law, just swallow my anger?"

Shen Jianglin was stunned. He frowned and looked at Lu Yuan, as if he couldn't expect that he would defend Shen Sui'an so much.

"That's enough. You heard a few half-truths from outsiders and then thought that Sui Sui had taught you that you are her father, not her enemy!" Old Madam Shen scolded.

Shen Jianglin's face flushed red. He originally wanted to show off in front of his son-in-law, but in the end he was the one who was scolded.

"I think my father-in-law has misunderstood." Lu Yuan held Shen Sui'an's hand, his voice cold and firm, "Sui'an is dignified and elegant, there is nothing wrong with her. If she is so uneducated, then other noble ladies in the capital should not come out to meet people."

"Besides, Sui'an lost her mother at a young age. If she has a reputation for being poorly educated, people will only talk about my father-in-law. Father-in-law, don't you think so?"

Shen Sui'an lowered his head and bit his lips tightly, fearing that he would cry.
