Wen glared at Su Wan angrily. When she thought of her beloved son who was in so much pain that he couldn't stand up, her head rushed and her face turned black and red.

"A woman is so shameless as to hurt her husband like that. He is the legitimate son of the Zheng family, a noble young man admired by everyone in the capital. I can't even bear to say anything to him."

Wen pointed at Su Wan and said, "At least he was there to care for you, but you are so disregarding of his dignity and health."

If this were back home, she would have wanted to make this bitch stand in the courtyard for a whole day. But this was a temple, full of people coming and going. Zheng Yanchen had even been kicked out yesterday. If she acted too conspicuously, she would be humiliated.

Seeing Wen Shi's anger rising and falling, Su Wan remained calm.

She bowed slowly and said calmly, "If this matter were to spread, it would indeed be inappropriate for my husband. After all, he is a man."

Wen's cheek twitched and you knew that.

"But I'm doing this for my husband's own good."

Wen Shi smiled, "What did you say?"

"When I first arrived here yesterday, I felt something was wrong. I didn't realize anything was wrong until a rash started to appear on my face that evening. Although I grew up in Yizhou, I have a frail constitution, and rashes are more likely to appear at this time of year."

Wen's expression gradually turned strange as she looked at Su Wan. Su Wan continued, "Thank goodness my husband passed away early yesterday. If this symptom had spread to others, it would have been bad for my husband and me."

Wen's expression suddenly froze. "So, you're wearing a veil today just to hide the rash?"

"That's right. I remember my mother-in-law's teachings and always pay attention to my moral behavior. I'm just afraid that this will be seen as bad for the Zheng Mansion."

"Is this something shameful?"

Wen said sternly, "You knew this was contagious, so why didn't you send someone to see a doctor? And you've been sitting here talking to me like nothing happened for so long?"

She looked at Su Shi and felt that she was terrified. She really wanted to kill her. This idiot was not only ugly and incompetent, but also full of evil intentions. When her husband got what he wanted, she would definitely kick this ugly thing out!

"Please forgive me, mother-in-law. I didn't intend to come here to pay my respects today, but I was afraid of being rude."

"Alright, hurry up and find a doctor to treat him. Also!" Wen ordered the nanny beside her, "Go and see if Erlang is okay."

Nanny Li responded and hurried out.

"Don't worry, mother-in-law. I'm quite familiar with facial problems. I just need to prescribe some medicine to treat them. After dinner, I asked Liuyan to go to the nearby pharmacy to get some medicine."

"Then leave quickly!"

Su Wan bowed her head slowly, then turned around and was about to walk out.

Just then, a servant came and said, "Mr. Su is here. The master invites his wife and the young mistress to the side hall."

Su Wan was stunned. Father?

Soon, Su Wan followed Wen to the side hall.

In the medium-sized main hall, Zheng Weilan, the patriarch of the Zheng family, sat at the head, a smile on his face. Zheng Yanchen sat to his lower right. Across from him, a middle-aged man with bright eyes gazed lovingly at him.

Su Wan felt a sore nose and her eyes were suddenly filled with tears.

"Wan'er, what I regret most is that I only taught you how to behave, but never taught you how to be on guard against others. You're such a kind person, and this isn't the way it should end. Now that I'm going, I must live well no matter what, just for myself."

In her previous life, her father lay dying in her arms, his weathered face full of regret and helplessness.

"Wan'er?" The low voice pulled Su Wan out of her memories, and her eyes fell on her father in front of her.

Su Yan was dressed in plain clothes, and his every move showed his elegant demeanor.

He was the eldest son of Grand Tutor Su Nanyue, and once the envy of all in the capital. Even in middle age, his demeanor remained undiminished. Even a single glance at him filled one with admiration.

Su Wan wiped away the tears that were falling, "Father."

Su Yanci smiled, "This face."

Su Wan's eyes dodged, "It's just the same as before."

Su Yanci nodded, "You better be careful."

When they were in Peach Blossom Valley, Su Wan often played pranks like this, and now there was a hidden secret, so Su Yanci cooperated with her.

"Father, why do you look so thin?"

When Su Yanci saw his daughter standing there in a lavender printed long dress, her slender waist seemed so thin that it seemed impossible to hold it in one hand, and he couldn't help but feel distressed.

Without waiting for Su Wan's reply, Zheng Yanchen spoke first, "Wan'er is busy with the affairs of the mansion right now, and she eats less. Please rest assured, father-in-law. I will definitely take care of her and make sure she has enough nutrition after we return."

Zheng Yanchen tried to make excuses, after all, his target this time was Su Yanci, and he must not offend him.

"Yes, Wan'er is very well-behaved. Everyone in our mansion says that he has married a well-educated and well-mannered clan wife. Brother Su, don't worry, she is doing very well."

Zheng Weilan also smiled, but Wen Shi on the side curled her lips.

"Father, don't worry about me." Su Wan said, "But you actually left the valley today. Could it be that you received my concern in your dream?"

Su Yanci raised his eyebrows and laughed, "Father and daughter are connected by heart, so I naturally know what you mean."

Su Wan smiled knowingly and asked, "How are the people in the valley? Are they all okay?"

Su Yanci answered patiently, "You don't have to worry about them. Is your father so unreliable? Don't worry, I will take good care of them."

"Of course I'm relieved, but that Liu family's sister was born with a different body than others, and there's no one to take care of her. Father must pay more attention to her."

"Father has remembered everything."

There was no such person in the valley. Su Yanci knew that Su Wan was reminding him to be careful about the people around him. At the same time, he was also relieved that his daughter finally had some sense of vigilance.

"Speaking of them, they also asked me to bring you some gifts, which I put in the box. They're not expensive, just easy to carry. There are also a few books you like in there, which I brought you too. You can use these to entertain yourself when you have nothing to do."

Su Yanci was very clear about the daily lives of the wives of the noble families. Moreover, Su Wan was somewhat different from those people in character, and she was afraid that she would not have many friends in the capital. Therefore, he prepared some things according to Su Wan's hobbies, hoping to relieve the boredom in her life.

Su Wan nodded obediently.

"I didn't know that Wan'er could read." Wen's sudden words made everyone present feel a little embarrassed.

Su Yanci said calmly, "There's so much fun to be had in books. Wan'er has had this habit since she was little. Besides, reading doesn't discriminate against anyone. Madam, if you judge it based on old customs, you're being a little shortsighted."

Wen choked, looked at her husband awkwardly and said nothing more.

Zheng Weilan laughed heartily. "With you here, how could Wan'er be any worse off? Speaking of the people in the valley, I've heard Wan'er say that this Peach Blossom Valley is a paradise on earth, and we'd love to see it too. We're planning to have Yanchen go visit them. After all, everyone in the valley is Wan'er's family."

Su Yanci smiled faintly, looked at Su Wan and said, "Wan'er, the gift is in the yard. You and Liu Shang can go and take a look."

Su Wan lowered her eyes, knowing that her father didn't want her to get involved. She bowed and went to the yard.

"Wan'er!"

As soon as she walked out of the main hall, she heard Zheng Yanchen's voice behind her, but Su Wan did not stop.

Zheng Yanchen quickly caught up to Su Wan. He was still furious about what happened last night, and even considered giving her a good beating today to teach her a lesson. But the bigger picture was more important, so he tried his best to suppress his anger.

"My father-in-law has been living in seclusion for many years, and he actually came out of the valley today?" This was obviously a question to Su Wan.

Seeing that Su Wan remained silent, he continued, "We have been preparing for my father-in-law for so long, and our hearts are sincere. Could it be that he is worried that I might do something unlawful, so he is willing to break the rules just to prevent me from entering the valley?"

"do you have?"

Su Wan's sudden question surprised Zheng Yanchen.
