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

"The Second Young Master is going too far. Why didn't I realize he was so shameless before?" Ban Jian cursed with gritted teeth.

"What right does he have to say that about the young lady? He is clearly the one who is wrong."

They couldn’t curse outside just now, but now that they were back in Danbo Courtyard, the two maids couldn’t help themselves.

Shen Sui'an put the cloak on his body into her hands and pinched Ban Jian's cheek. "What kind of person he is has nothing to do with us. It's not worth getting angry about."

"Madam, he misunderstood you without any basis in reason and said that to you. Aren't you angry?" Mu Jin served tea and felt sorry for Shen Suian.

"Don't be angry." Shen Sui'an said calmly.

She was really not angry. No matter how many misunderstandings Lu Heng had about her or how many words he said to irritate her, she could deal with it calmly.

She felt good whenever she thought about Lu Heng's good future.

So good that I can ignore everything Lu Heng said today.

"Today's lunch was not satisfying enough. Ask the kitchen to prepare crispy quail and ham and bamboo shoot soup tonight, and also request a hot pot..." Shen Suian ordered with a smile.

The emotions of the two maids were also affected by Shen Sui'an, and smiles returned to their faces.

"I will go and tell the kitchen right away. Does the young madam want to wait for the eldest young master to have dinner together?" Mu Jin asked.

"The Pacification Office is so busy, he may not be able to make it back in time." Shen Sui'an said.

But Banjian went to the kitchen for a short while and came back angrily.

"Hey, who made you angry? Look at your cheeks, they are not as big as goldfish." Sui Jin poked Ban Jian's face and teased her with a smile.

Ban Jian snorted, lifted the curtain and went in.

"The Lu family is so big, but the young lady wanted to eat these ordinary dishes but she still made excuses, saying that there were not enough staff, and that she didn't tell them a day in advance, and she just refused to agree." Ban Jian scolded the people in the kitchen.

Shen Sui'an was surprised. Everything was fine these past few days, so why did he suddenly make things difficult for her with her food today?

"Which cook is deliberately making things difficult for me?" Shen Sui'an asked.

"I heard others call her Mother Li, but I hadn't seen her in the past two days." Banjian said.

Shen Sui'an thought carefully for a moment and remembered that there was indeed a purchasing lady in the kitchen whose surname was Li. She remembered that Lady Li had a daughter who also worked in the mansion.

"Let's see what food the kitchen will send over tonight." Shen Sui'an smiled.

Although she is not a person who likes to be the most outstanding, there is one thing she cannot afford to be treated unfairly or forced.

That is, her meals must be enjoyed.

"Sui Jin, go ask the little maid which courtyard this Madam Li's daughter works in." Shen Sui'an ordered again.

"I'll go right away." Sui Jin promised.

Shen Sui'an held Ban Jian's hand and said, "It's hard to have a good meal today. I can only ask Ban Jian to cook me a bowl of noodles tonight."

Banjian's eyes were slightly red, "I just feel angry for the young lady."

Ever since she married Lu Yuan, she had thought that life in the Lu family would not be easy.

When Shen Suian woke up from a nap, Sui Jin also came back with news.

"Madam, you will never guess who Madam Li's daughter is." Sui Jin said mysteriously.

Shen Sui'an raised his eyebrows and looked at Sui Jin, "Working in our courtyard?"

"How did you guess that?" Sui Jin exclaimed, "It turns out that Mrs. Li's daughter is Hong Xiu."

Ban Jian frowned, "Since her daughter works for the young mistress, how dare she make things difficult for us?"

"She doesn't work for me, she works for the eldest young master." Shen Suian smiled faintly.

"What does Hongxiu do every day?" Shen Suian asked curiously.

Hongxiu's identity is quite special in Danboyuan, and Sui Jin has been keeping a close eye on her for a long time.

"Replying to Madam, Hongxiu is now working in the eldest young master's study. She and Shiqing are responsible for the eldest young master's food, clothing, housing and transportation. I heard from other maids that Hongxiu does not allow other maids to serve the eldest young master closely. She even has to take care of the eldest young master's clothes herself and does not allow others to touch them."

Shen Suian gently stroked the rim of the cup with her fingers. She had not yet been to Lu Yuan's study.

There are three entrances to Danbo Courtyard. Lu Yuan’s study is in the west room of the first entrance, and the east room is where he practices martial arts.

"Half seen." Shen Sui'an gave him a look.

"I'll go right away." Ban Jian understood what he meant.

Shen Sui'an glanced at the mirror and said, "Re-comb your hair. It's messy."

The setting sun melts gold, and thousands of rays of light shine on the ground.

As soon as Lu Yuan walked into the Lu family's gate, he saw a indigo figure standing in the sunset glow.

The woman was born with a graceful figure, bright and beautiful, and extremely beautiful.

"Husband, you are back."
