Ling'er felt a little distressed. She stepped forward, lit the candle, and said, "Madam, why don't you go to bed first? You've been working hard all day, you must be very tired!"

Lin Yiwan stared blankly with her bright, watery eyes wide open. She reached out and patted the pillow beside her and said, "Wait, wait a little longer, my husband!"

She was already extremely sleepy, and her voice now lost its aggressiveness and became soft.

Seeing that she was so stubborn, Ling'er didn't know how to persuade her anymore.

When she turned around and walked outside, she saw Zi'er standing under the eaves holding a long sword.

She strode over and asked, "Have you seen the Marquis? Since he married the lady, why doesn't he sleep with her? There are so many eyes watching in this courtyard. Isn't he clearly trying to make others think that our lady is not favored by the Marquis?"

Zi'er frowned and looked at her, a hint of doubt in her eyes.

Ling'er raised her hand and patted her forehead, saying, "Look at me, I'm so anxious I'm stupid. You're like a wooden stake, speaking in a single, unstructured voice. How could you possibly understand all these twists and turns? I'd better go out and find the Marquis and invite him back quickly!"

Zi'er grabbed her collar by the back of her neck and flew out with a burst of energy.

Ling'er looked at her back and faintly heard her say, "I'll go get the Marquis. I know where he is!"

Ling'er suddenly grinned: "You can speak long sentences, so you're not a wooden stake!"

When Zhan Yihou heard Zi'er relay Ling'er's words, he immediately stood up.

He moved so violently that he even knocked the documents on the table to the ground.

He didn't bother to pick it up and strode towards the inner courtyard.

Zi'er quickly bent down to pick it up, and when she raised her head, she met Yingyi's bright eyes.

She couldn't help but scold: "Who are you trying to scare to death?"

Yingyi leaned over and whispered in her ear, "Zi'er, you didn't know, did you? After you left, our master actually stared at his soiled sleeves and laughed!"

Zi'er was stunned: "He? Can laugh?"

Yingyi nodded hurriedly: "That's right, you also find it strange, right? When I saw it, I almost fell from the tree. Ever since we went to protect him, I haven't seen him smile!"

Zi'er remembered reporting Lin Yiwan's matter to Zhan Yan before. He seemed to be indifferent, but his hanging wrist showed tension.

Otherwise, ink would not have been dropped on official documents!

I think he must care a lot about his new wife!

After all, who in this world would be willing to marry a disabled man?

No matter how great his military achievements are, no matter how much he protects the country and the people!

But he was in bad shape after all!

Who wants to be a widow?

She took a deep breath and said, "Yingyi, no matter what, we must protect the only mistress of this mansion. We must not let her suffer any injustice!"

Ying Yi asked suspiciously, "Do you think our Marquis likes her?"

Zi'er glared at him. "Why are you as naive as that little maidservant beside Madam? Love isn't expressed in words, it's shown in actions. Even when our Marquis went to see the Emperor, he was extremely calm and composed. But when he heard that Madam would be criticized, he hurried back, even messing up the official documents without even caring!"

Yingyi gave her a thumbs up and couldn't help but praise her: "The one who knows the master best is none other than Zi'er!"

Zi'er raised her hand and slapped him, then stood up and chased after him.

At this time, Zhan Yan had already arrived at the door of the inner courtyard. Looking at the candlelight burning in the house, he couldn't move his feet.
