The bad husband wanted to bring his second wife into the house, so I turned around and became his st

All these mysteries made her feel very puzzled.

At the same time, it also made her realize that she seemed to be being watched.

Thinking of this, a cold light flashed in her eyes.

"Pei'er, do you know where my uncle is now?"

Pei'er raised her eyebrows slightly when she heard this.

"My dear Miss, my son-in-law Lu Shengyuan should be in the study right now, handling some official business."

"In that case, I will go to the study to see him."

After she finished speaking, she moved her lotus steps lightly and walked slowly towards the study. Her figure was graceful, like a fairy dancing under the moon.

Seeing this, Pei'er hurried forward a few steps.

He reminded her softly, "Miss, it's late at night and the candlelight in the study is dim. You must be careful."

Lin Wanqing nodded slightly.

"No problem, you wait here, I'll be back soon."

As she spoke, she had already stepped into the secluded path leading to the study.

In the study, the candlelight flickered.

Lu Shengyuan's focused profile was reflected in his face, as he was buried in his work.

Lin Wanqing quietly pushed the door open and walked in, without saying a word, just standing quietly by the side.

Lu Shengyuan looked up and saw that it was her, a hint of surprise flashed across his eyes.

"How did you come?"

Lin Wanqing told Lu Shengyuan everything she had seen before.

After hearing this, Lu Shengyuan frowned.

"Is this really true? I will send someone to investigate immediately."

Lin Wanqing shook her head slightly.

"No need. Maybe I'm just being overly suspicious. I've just been feeling uneasy lately, as if something's about to happen."

Upon hearing this, Lu Shengyuan put down the pen in his hand and stood up.

"Although I can't give you what you want, I can definitely protect you."

"Thank you, Lu Shengyuan."

The two smiled at each other, and the distance between them seemed to have shortened a lot.

Lu Shengyuan looked at Lin Wanqing's beautiful face, and couldn't help but feel a little tender in his heart.

"It's late, I'll take you home."

Lin Wanqing nodded slightly, and the two of them walked out of the study together.

The moonlight was like water, reflecting the figures of the two people walking side by side.

Along the way, neither of them said a word, just walked quietly.

After Lin Wanqing returned to her room, the uneasy feeling in her heart dissipated a lot.

As long as Lu Shengyuan is around, he will not be in any danger.

Thinking of this, a faint smile appeared on the corner of her mouth.

Seeing her like this, Pei'er felt very relieved.

"Miss, Master, you should go to bed early. I will be waiting outside. If you need anything, please call me at any time."

Lin Wanqing nodded slightly and lay down on the bed.

Seeing this, Pei'er tiptoed out and closed the door gently.

The moonlight was gently shining, and the room was soft.

Lin Wanqing's gentle gaze fell on Lu Shengyuan's slightly tired figure.

"Husband, it's late, let me help you change and rest."

"Why should I trouble you with such trivial matters? I can do it myself."

Lin Wanqing did not back down.

She slowly approached, gently placed her hands on Lu Shengyuan's shoulders, her eyes firm and gentle.

"My husband, what you said is wrong. Why should we bother talking about this?"

As she spoke, she began to carefully untie the ties of his shirt with her fingertips.

Seeing this, Lu Shengyuan felt a little warm in his heart and let her do as she pleased.

Lin Wanqing's movements were gentle and skillful, and she quickly helped Lu Shengyuan change his clothes.

She watched him lie down, then carefully tucked in the quilt for him, then turned around and left quietly.

However, just as she was about to walk out of the room, she heard Lu Shengyuan's low voice behind her.

"Have you ever regretted marrying me?"

Upon hearing this, Lin Wanqing paused slightly.

She turned and looked at Lu Shengyuan lying on the bed. The moonlight shone on his face, reflecting his deep facial features.

She shook her head slightly, a faint smile playing on her lips.

"Why do you say that, my husband? It is my great blessing to marry you."

Lu Shengyuan looked at her steadily, with complicated emotions in his eyes.

After a while, he sighed and looked away.

"Forget it, it's late, go back and rest."

Lin Wanqing nodded slightly, turned and walked out of the room.

In the following days, Lin Wanqing saw the black shadow many times at night.

Lu Shengyuan also sent more people to search everywhere in the mansion, but still found nothing.

Lin Wanqing's uneasiness grew stronger, and Lu Shengyuan also noticed her abnormality.

"Wanqing, what's wrong with you lately? You're always absent-minded."

Lin Wanqing sighed softly and told Lu Shengyuan all the uneasiness in her heart.

"I always feel that the dark shadow is coming towards me."

Lu Shengyuan's expression froze when he heard this.

"Don't worry, I will strengthen the guards in the mansion and will not let that black shadow appear again."

Lin Wanqing nodded slightly, but she didn't feel relieved.

Night falls and the moon is dim.

Lin Wanqing lay on the bed, tossing and turning but unable to fall asleep.

Suddenly, she heard a slight sound outside the window.

Her heart tightened and she quickly stood up and looked out the window.

She saw the dark shadow appear outside her window again, trying to climb in.

Seeing this, Lin Wanqing was terrified.

She quickly shouted, "Help! There's an assassin!"

Her voice echoed in the night air, sounding particularly harsh.

After hearing her cry, the dark shadow paused, turned around and ran away.

When Lu Shengyuan heard Lin Wanqing's cry, he hurried over with his men.

"What happened to you? Are you hurt?"

Lin Wanqing shook her head and pointed out the window.

"That dark shadow, he appeared again."

Lu Shengyuan's expression froze when he heard this.

He walked to the window and looked carefully, but found no clues.

He turned and looked at Lin Wanqing with a firm look in his eyes.

"Don't worry, I will find out the identity of this shadow and give you an explanation."

Lin Wanqing looked at him, and the uneasiness in her heart subsided a little.

Lu Shengyuan looked at the deep night sky outside the window, and a barely perceptible sadness flashed across his eyes.

"The situation in the court is turbulent and complex, with many forces coveting the top position. I have long been the target of public criticism."

He sighed softly, his voice filled with fatigue and helplessness.

"Even though I'm sick and on the verge of death, those people still won't let me go. It's as if they can only feel at ease after witnessing my fall."

He turned slowly and looked at Lin Wanqing with deep eyes.

"I know you have many worries in your heart. Although this mansion seems peaceful, there are actually undercurrents. I am afraid that my situation will affect you."

Upon hearing this, Lin Wanqing shook his head firmly.

"Husband, since you and I are husband and wife, we should stick together through thick and thin."

Lu Shengyuan's eyes darkened slightly.

"Maybe our marriage is just a temporary solution for you. Don't take it too seriously."

After saying this, he tried to turn around, as if he didn't want to look directly into the light in her eyes.

Lin Wanqing heard this and a smile slowly blossomed on her lips. "My husband, you are wrong,"

She spoke softly, her eyes full of tenderness.

"It may have been so at first, but today, my heart has long been deeply attracted to you and I can't extricate myself. How can this feeling be described by the word 'expediency'?"

Lin Wanqing's words were like a spring breeze, relaxing Lu Shengyuan's frown a little.
