On the wedding day, my wife was abnormal

Chapter 56: My heart is pounding, my bones are weak and my muscles are numb

How could Huanbi understand the subtle emotions and calculations between men and women?

Lin Zhen leaned against the bathtub, his hands resting leisurely on the edge of the tub, his eyes lightly closed, enjoying the comfort brought by the warm steam, with a barely perceptible hint of leisure in his tone.

"In fact, Gu Beichen has always been hostile to me, especially after what happened in the past few days, he hates me even more. But he also knows very well that I can't die, otherwise Daqian will definitely be in chaos."

"So he's willing to do anything to attack me, stop me, or disgust me. Taking my wife away is one of them. If he could really get Liu Shuyao or Xiao Cui, even just once, he would feel a great sense of accomplishment."

Huanbi's soft and boneless hands wandered around Lin Zhen's temples with a touch of unintentional teasing, her breath as fragrant as orchid, and finally entered his neck, kneading it slowly.

"Then why didn't the prince just kill Gu Beichen to prevent future troubles?"

Lin Zhen's eyes were deep, as if he was weighing something. He said slowly, "Gu Beichen can't die for the time being. Even if we want to kill him, we have to wait until three months later."

"Why?" Huanbi asked.

"Because of balance. Our family's power is too great. Almost all civil and military officials, including the emperor, are deeply afraid of us. If the Gu family falls again at this time, the emperor will not be able to sleep well."

Huanbi's hands unconsciously tightened, and she rolled her eyes and said, "Besides, if they wanted to rebel, they would have done it long ago. Why would they wait until today? Emperors are always suspicious, and they deserve it for not being able to govern the country well."

It doesn’t matter if the little girl talks nonsense in her room, let her have fun.

Before he knew it, Lin Zhen fell asleep.

I have been physically and mentally exhausted for days, and my spirit is as tense as a fully drawn bowstring. Once I relax at this moment, the accumulated fatigue will surge in like a tide.

Seeing that he had stopped making any sound, Huanbi grew bolder. She leaned gently against the edge of the bathtub, using her arms as a pillow, and peeked at him quietly with her watery eyes.

The handsome eyebrows, the sharp face, every line seemed to be carved by nature, constantly touching the softest part of her heart. Even her heartbeat quietly accelerated with this silent appreciation.

Somehow, Huanbi suddenly stood up and kissed Lin Zhen lightly on the lips. Then, as if she had been burned, she suddenly pulled away, her cheeks instantly dyed with two sunset-like crimson, gorgeous and shy.

"Oh, Huanbi, Huanbi! You are so shameless! You must be missing the prince so much..."

"But... the prince's mouth is so soft!"

Huanbi touched her face and felt her heart pounding, her bones and tendons going numb, as if she was a snow lion facing fire, half of her body was numb in an instant.

......

Huanbi called two servants and carefully carried the naked Lin Zhen back to the bedroom.

Lin Zhen was sleeping very soundly and didn't wake up even though there was such a loud noise.

Huanbi brought a carved wooden chair and sat beside the bed, gently waving an exquisite round fan in her hand, bringing a subtle coolness and protection to this hot summer day.

There are a lot of mosquitoes in summer now. It would be bad if one bites the prince.

Delicate care is like a trickle of water, silent but warm.

The next morning, when the first ray of sunlight quietly peeked in through the window, Lin Zhen slowly opened his eyes and saw Huanbi leaning on the bed, supporting her chin with one hand. There was a hint of tiredness on her beautiful face, and her hair drooped gently, interweaving with the morning light, adding a bit of tenderness.

A warm feeling surged in Lin Zhen's heart, and he treasured such pure and simple emotions.

It is no exaggeration to say that such love would be hard to find even with a lantern in later generations.

The thoughts of those only children are almost always: Why should I take care of you? Why should I cook for you? Why should I bear your children? Why don’t you let me spend the money you earn? Why can’t I cheat on you?

It's not about creating a conflict between men and women, but one day Lin Zhen saw it on Douyin using a female colleague's phone.

He wasn't interested in the big data push issue. He sat up and was about to put on his shoes when he heard Huanbi murmur, "Prince...you're awake."

Huanbi rubbed her sleepy eyes, and her voice was soft and sweet, a little naive, as if she had just woken up.

Lin Zhen lovingly scratched the tip of her nose with his fingers and said softly, "Go to bed and sleep for a while. I'll dress myself."

"That won't do! Serving the prince is my duty!" Huanbi said without hesitation and quickly got up and went to another room.

Soon, he returned with a stack of clean and neatly ironed robes, and put them on Lin Zhen one by one.

After everything was dressed, Huanbi said, "Please wait a moment, my lord. I will fetch you some water to wash your face."

Lin Zhen nodded and let her go.

He slowly moved to the window and gently pushed with his fingertips. The window frame opened in response. The fresh morning air rushed in with the fragrance of flowers. He took a deep breath and it was refreshing.

"It's time to start a business."

Lin Zhen still has many entrepreneurial plans in his mind. As long as they can be implemented, it will be no problem for him to become the richest man in the world within three years.

But for now, the most important thing to prepare for is the Qian-Chu War three months later.

He thought of the chemistry class he took in college...

Perhaps he could improve the traditional iron smelting process, increase the armor's defense, and make the weapons more durable, thus improving the overall combat effectiveness of the Daqian soldiers.

Then collect supplies and stockpile food. With Lin Zhenxian's ability, defeating Nan Chu will be a piece of cake.

"Bang!" A sound came, and Lin Zhen withdrew his thoughts.

The yard was filled with gentle golden light. The girl in the emerald green dress reflected the morning sun. She rolled up her sleeves, revealing an arm as soft and smooth as jade. She turned the well mill with great effort and soon drew up a small bucket of clear water, which she poured into the washbasin.

As long as it is Lin Zhen's business, she never asks others to do it.

Lin Zhen went out and started washing in the yard.

At this time, the chief steward Lin An walked into the courtyard, bowed to Lin Zhen and said, "Sir, the master wants you to have dinner in Jingxin Garden."

"understood."

Jingxin Garden is the courtyard where Lin Zhenxian lives. It seems that the old man has something to say to me today.

Lin Zhen patted Huanbi's head and said, "Go and have a rest. Remember to arrange for someone to look after Liu Shuyao and Xiao Cui."

Huanbi smiled sweetly and said, "Don't worry, my lord. I made all the arrangements yesterday."

......

Lin Zhenxian was obviously in a good mood after returning from the morning court. He asked the kitchen to prepare a few of his favorite dishes and invited Lin Zhen to join him for dinner.

The old man has a calm temperament and has a special liking for clear soup tofu and green cabbage. He has no interest in big fish and meat.

The main reason is that I can’t afford it.

Now the whole family depends on Lin Zhenxian's salary for their livelihood. How can they eat meat every meal? It would be a mercy from the court if they don't starve to death.

When Lin Zhen came over, the old man was sitting at the round table eating voraciously, not looking like a prince at all.

"grandfather."

"Well, Zhen'er, come and have dinner."

"Yes."

Lin Zhen sat down and ate his meal properly. He would not speak unless Lin Zhenxian spoke.

Don’t talk while eating and don’t talk while sleeping, that’s the rule.

Soon the old man was full, and he put down his bowl with a thud. He took the maid's handkerchief, wiped his mouth, and said, "I heard that you, little brat, have made a fortune recently?"

Finish.

Lin Zhen's heart skipped a beat.

It must be that old bastard Gu Yunting who told Lin Zhenxian about the underground money house!

Damn it, you are so cruel.

"Grandfather, you're joking. It's just handing over some stolen money."

"Humph." Lin Zhenxian snorted coldly, "Several million taels of stolen silver are rare."

"What does grandfather mean?"

"Take it all out. What are you doing with all that money? Grandfather is going to use it to improve the living standards of the soldiers."

Lin Zhen knew he was going to do this, so he shook his head firmly and said, "Grandfather, I can't agree to this."

"Hmm? You little brat, how dare you disobey me!?"

The oppressive feeling from Lin Zhenxian is definitely not something that ordinary people can bear.

Fortunately, Lin Zhen is not an ordinary person.

He still nodded firmly and said, "Grandfather, I have a great use for this money, and I can assure you that I will never squander it."

"No, the money is too much. You can't bear the temptation at all. You must hand it over."

"Grandfather, I'm sorry, I won't hand it over."

Lin Zhenxian stroked his beard and said with a playful look in his eyes, "You little brat, do you think I don't know where you hid your money?"
