I have been farming since I crossed over.

When Yang Mingxi heard the sound of Lu's father coming back outside, she hurriedly stood up, walked quickly to Old Lady Lu, carefully supported her slightly frail body, and slowly walked towards Old Lady Lu's room.

Yang Mingxi and Old Lady Lu chatted softly as they walked, asking about her recent health and daily life with concern. After safely sending Old Lady Lu back to her room, Yang Mingxi breathed a sigh of relief and turned to walk towards her own courtyard.

As soon as she entered the courtyard, Yang Mingxi was acutely aware of an unusual atmosphere. She saw Lu Da and several secret guards bustling about in a hurry, their expressions revealing an unconcealable nervousness as they moved from corner to corner.

Every secret guard who passed by Yang Mingxi just greeted her from a distance, and then immersed themselves in their hurried actions, as if there was something important that needed to be dealt with urgently.

Yang Mingxi, curious, followed Lu Da's footsteps. Soon, they arrived at Lu Jintang's study. However, to Yang Mingxi's surprise, she was stopped outside.

Lu Liu came up to her with a smile on his face and said respectfully, "Madam Thirteen, the Master has ordered that no one is allowed to enter."

Hearing this, Yang Mingxi raised the corners of her mouth slightly and responded with the same smile: "Oh? Anyone?"

"Yes, Madam Thirteen, it is indeed anyone." Lu Liu nodded solemnly, his eyes firm and unquestionable.

Seeing this, Yang Mingxi didn't force it, but simply nodded gently to show her understanding. Then, with her hands behind her back, she tiptoed lightly and stood quietly outside Lu Jintang's study, as serene and elegant as a blooming lotus, patiently waiting for any movement from inside.

Not long after, Lu Er rushed into the study with a panicked look and hurried steps, holding a mysterious object tightly in his hand. This sudden scene caught Yang Mingxi's attention.

She turned to look at Lu Liu beside her and asked, "Lu Liu, what on earth was that thing that just rushed in so hastily?"

Lu Liu looked at Yang Mingxi in bewilderment. After a moment's pause, he finally reacted. He smiled and replied, "Madam Thirteen, it was Lu Er who just went in!"

Hearing this answer, Yang Mingxi couldn't help but frown, a hint of cunning flashed in her eyes, and she asked in a pretended stern tone: "Is Lu Er not a human being?" After saying that, her beautiful but misty eyes stared straight at Lu Liu.

Lu Liu felt a little uneasy when Yang Mingxi looked at him like this, but he still forced himself to smile and explain, "Madam Thirteen, you really know how to joke. Lu Er is naturally a human being!"

Yang Mingxi did not give up. She kept a stern face and continued to ask: "If that's the case, didn't I hear you clearly say before that no one is allowed to enter this study? If Lu Er is also a human, then why was he able to break in so openly?" She spoke at a moderate speed, and each word was pronounced clearly, making it impossible to avoid.

Only a crisp laugh was heard, "Puchi, Lu Liu, you are such a fool, no different from a fool. You can't even see such an obvious trap, and you actually fell into it. Now you see, get out of here as far away as you can!" These slightly sarcastic words came from the room, and the person who spoke was Lu Jintang.

When Lu Liu heard this, his face turned red instantly. He lowered his head and replied in a low voice: "Yes! Young master, it's all my fault. I am willing to accept the punishment." After that, he ran away as quickly as if his feet were greased.

At this moment, light footsteps approached from afar, and Lu Jintang slowly walked out of the study. He immediately saw Yang Mingxi standing at the door, and with a slight smile on his face, he said softly, "Oh, it's Ah Xi. I remember you went to your mother's yard just now. How come you're back so soon?"

Upon hearing this, Yang Mingxi glared at Lu Jintang coquettishly, crossed her arms over her chest, and replied angrily: "Hmph, what? Can't I come back? Or do you simply not welcome me back? In that case, I might as well go back to my parents' home." Before she finished speaking, she made a gesture to turn around and walk out the door.

Seeing this, Lu Jintang was extremely anxious. He didn't care about the pain all over his body. He hurriedly limped forward and stretched out a hand to tightly grasp Yang Mingxi's wrist. Then he said in a flattering manner: "Hey, Ah Xi, look at what you said. You are my wife. Now that you have married into our Lu family, you are naturally the daughter-in-law of the Lu family. How can a daughter-in-law abandon her husband and go back to her parents' home alone? Even if you really want to go back, you have to let me accompany you!"

Yang Mingxi inadvertently caught a glimpse of Lu Jintang limping towards her from the corner of her eye. She couldn't help but stop and asked suspiciously, "What's going on? Could it be that you secretly went to seduce someone else's woman and got a good beating from her husband?"

Hearing this, Lu Jintang's face instantly showed a trace of grievance. He quickly waved his hands and explained, "Oh my, Ah Xi, why are you teasing me like this? It's not like that at all! Oh, forget it, it's my fault that I'm not as skilled as others. I can only admit defeat!"

At this moment, Yang Mingxi raised an eyebrow, crossed his arms, and said with a half-smile, "Lu Da, what exactly happened? If you can't explain it clearly, don't blame me for being rude. I'll just let you and Lu Liu reflect on it together!"

When Lu Da heard this, his heart immediately began to beat fast. He first cautiously glanced at Lu Jintang, who was standing beside him with a face full of resentment, and then cast his gaze on Yang Mingxi, who was standing in front of him with a serious expression. After weighing the pros and cons, he finally gritted his teeth and made a decision - he would rather offend his master Lu Jintang than annoy the young lady in front of him. He said with a smile: "Hehe, actually, the thing is this. Just now, our master and His Royal Highness the Virtuous King were sparring with each other in martial arts, but who knew that the master was not well-trained and was defeated after a few rounds. Seeing this, His Royal Highness the Virtuous King teased, 'Since you couldn't enter the bridal chamber on your wedding night, then forget about entering the bridal chamber tonight.' After that, His Royal Highness the Virtuous King attacked the master without mercy, and now the master has been beaten into this miserable state!"

"Mr. Lu, you... go and receive your punishment!" Lu Jintang's face flushed red as he yelled in shame and anger.

Lu Da didn't flinch. He straightened his body and shouted, "Sir, I'm innocent! This is all a misunderstanding. I've made a great contribution!"

At this time, Yang Mingxi waved her hand and said to Lu Da with a smile: "No need, Lu Da, you have indeed made great contributions this time. Go down and have a good rest first! You have nothing to do here anymore." After that, Yang Mingxi turned her head and her eyes fell on Lu Jintang. She chuckled and said: "Oh, my husband, don't be angry. It's just a bridal chamber, what's the big deal. If it doesn't work, forget it. Besides, I'm also very busy tonight. I want to make a secret medicine for my eldest sister so that she can be invincible in the palace and live a carefree life!"

When Lu Jintang heard this, his face instantly became gloomy, and he said with his eyes wide open: "What do you mean by no? It's just a bridal chamber. Do you think this young master is afraid of you? Don't cry and beg for mercy from me when the time comes!" Before he finished speaking, Lu Jintang rushed forward, leaned over, picked up Yang Mingxi by the waist, and strode towards the bridal chamber.

The flower candles in the bridal chamber swayed gently, the red curtains fluttered gently, the bridal chamber was filled with a sweet atmosphere, and the light of the flower candles illuminated the night.
