The next day.

When Lin Qiqi opened her eyes, the sun was already high in the sky.

She lay on the bed, feeling the pain all over her body, and slapped the bed angrily.

I was bewitched by A Qing again yesterday. Seeing his red eyes, I couldn't help but go to comfort him. I was comforting him but ended up in the bedroom and didn't even have dinner.

Sure enough, feeling sorry for a man will bring bad luck!

The door opened, and without hesitation, it was Yun Qing. Ever since the wedding, Lin Qiqi's maids had been just decorations in the courtyard, so they were all sent to the shop to manage the business.

Lin Qiqi covered her head and didn't want to pay attention to Yun Qing. This was too much. He didn't even let her eat. She had begged him, but he still wouldn't stop!

Yun Qing couldn't help but laugh when she saw Lin Qiqi hiding in the quilt like a kitten. She sat on the edge of the bed and gently tugged at the quilt, but it didn't budge.

Knowing that his little wife was still angry, Yun Qing picked her up along with the quilt and coaxed her softly: "Qiqi, please don't be angry, okay? I was wrong! Qiqi is so sweet, I couldn't help myself..."

"Shut up!" Lin Qiqi interrupted angrily, "You're going too far! I don't want to talk to you."

"Okay, I went too far. I was wrong, so I got up early in the morning to cook for Qiqi to make amends." Yun Qing lowered his head and kissed the top of Lin Qiqi's head. "I made bamboo fungus chicken soup, spicy stir-fried beef tripe, and stir-fried lamb with garlic for Qiqi..."

Lin Qiqi's mouth started watering when she heard this. They were all her favorite foods. This man was really unfair.

"There are also bamboo shoots with chicken sauce and stir-fried loofah tips..."

"Carry me to brush my teeth!" Lin Qiqi stretched out her hand and said fiercely.

"Okay!" Yun Qing chuckled and took out clothes from the closet. Lin Qiqi looked down and saw red marks on her body. She glared at Yun Qing unhappily and let him dress her carefully from inside to outside.

After washing up, I went to the outer room and found the food already on the table.

Yun Qing first poured Lin Qiqi a bowl of chicken soup, blew it cool, and handed it to her mouth. Lin Qiqi took a sip and was so delicious that it made her tongue drop.

"Did you do all this?" Lin Qiqi asked with concern when she saw a blister on Yun Qing's hand.

Yun Qing nodded: "Qiqi, try it and see what needs to be improved. I wonder if it is the taste that Qiqi liked before." As he said that, he scooped a spoonful of stir-fried lamb with garlic and put it in Lin Qiqi's bowl.

Lin Qiqi picked up a piece of mutton and took a bite. Her eyes lit up instantly: "It's delicious! It's even better than what the chefs in five-star hotels make."

Lin Qiqi tried other dishes, and every one of them was to her liking! The slight unhappiness she had felt when she got up disappeared instantly.

"Qiqi, eat more. We'll be leaving for the Lin Mansion soon." Yun Qing said as he picked up a piece of beef tripe with chopsticks as he handed it to Lin Qiqi.

"Hmm?" Lin Qiqi blinked. "Why are we going to the Lin Mansion?"

"Qiqi forgot! Lin Xiner is returning home today. Your father-in-law is not here, so as the eldest daughter of the family, shouldn't you go and support your good sister?" Yun Qing smiled mysteriously.

Yes, I have to go back today to add to the trouble. Oh, no, I have to support you.

On the other side, Lin Xiner was already on her way back to the Lin Mansion.

She had been crying non-stop since she got into the carriage. Today was her return home, a crucial day for a married woman. It was fine that no one was bothering with her return gifts, but she hadn't expected her mother-in-law and the others to bring her anything nice. Yunnan Sang had already agreed to go with her, but just before they left, that bitch Liu'er sent someone to say she was feeling unwell and had Yunnan Sang sent away!

If you don't call a doctor when you have stomach discomfort, what's the point of calling a man? Besides, Yunnan Sang had been with that bitch the whole night. But she had to be magnanimous and couldn't stop him. She could only persuade Yunnan Sang to go over and take a look.

Lin Xiner looked at the few servants following the car and the pitifully few gifts they were carrying, which were mostly worthless things like fruits and vegetables, and her vision went dark.

Although Lu Songwen's family was not well off in his previous life, he prepared the homecoming gifts carefully. Not to mention how rare the set of black and white jade chess pieces he gave to his father were, the set of red coral headwear he gave to his mother alone was worth a fortune.

The more Lin Xiner thought about it, the more disappointed she became.

But then she thought, there was a benefit to Yunnan Sang not coming along. She had some free time to ask her parents about the dowry in private. Lin Xiner wiped away her tears, opened the car curtains and looked out at the street, but she accidentally saw an old friend.

It was her husband from her previous life, Lu Songwen, and he was accompanied by a young woman, who turned out to be Lin Xiner's close friend, Fang Miaomiao, the daughter of Dali Temple's Minister Fang Wenxuan. Fang Miaomiao's shy smile stung Lin Xiner's eyes, and she couldn't help but call out, "Miaomiao!"

Fang Miaomiao heard someone calling her and turned around to see Lin Xiner. She waved happily at her, "Xiner, I knew you were coming home today, so I was just about to go to your house!"

Lin Xiner forced a smile: "Then let's get in the carriage together."

Fang Miaomiao smiled and nodded, turned around to say goodbye to Lu Songwen, and was helped into the carriage by a maid.

Lin Xiner nodded slightly to Lu Songwen and lowered the curtain. She didn't know if it was an illusion, but she saw a trace of loneliness flash across Lu Songwen's eyes.

"Who was that just now..." Lin Xiner asked Fang Miaomiao deliberately.

Fang Miaomiao answered generously, "I just got engaged to Lu Songwen, the editor of the Hanlin Academy."

"Engagement? When did it happen? I didn't even know about it?" Lin Xiner was suddenly inexplicably shocked.

"On the second day of your wedding, my father had always been very optimistic about him and wanted to ask someone about the Lu family's opinion last year. Mr. Lu said at the time that he had a non-formal engagement since he was a child. Although it was not arranged by his elders and parents, it would be difficult for him to unilaterally break the contract since he had already agreed to it, so he didn't continue to pester the family. But I didn't expect that on the day of your wedding, Lord Lu would come to your house in person to propose marriage for his son." Fang Miaomiao's cheeks flushed slightly, and she looked very satisfied with the marriage.

"Don't you mind that his official position is low?" Lin Xiner was puzzled. Lord Fang is three levels higher than Lord Lu.

"How could that be? I don't care about that. Mr. Lu is a decent man, well-educated, and a good writer. He is a good man that is hard to find in the world. As for official positions, they are just icing on the cake for him." Fang Miaomiao's eyes sparkled, as if she had picked up a great treasure.

Lin Xiner felt a dull pain in her heart, feeling very uncomfortable. "What about his engagement? Why was it cancelled?"

Fang Miaomiao smiled and said, "I've already inquired about it. It was just a joke when I was little. When Master Lu was little, he accidentally saved a little girl from his maternal grandparents' house. The girl boldly said that she would marry him when she grew up, and even took his amulet as a token of love. Master Lu was a man of integrity, and although he hadn't formally promised her, he couldn't let her harbor such a wish in vain, so he never proposed marriage. Later, when the little girl grew up and got married, he finally accepted his family's arrangement."

"I met Master Lu and we had a good impression of each other, so we decided to get married."

Lin Xiner's mind suddenly exploded. The amulet, she remembered. She had asked Lu Songwen for that amulet. When she was a child, she had said that she would not marry anyone but Lu Songwen.

No wonder, in her past life, even when the Lin family fell into such a predicament, Lu Songwen refused to divorce or even abort. She had always been curious about why Lu Songwen insisted on her, but he would just smile and say it was all fate, and leave it at that. The answer she hadn't been able to get in her past life had finally arrived before her eyes.

After her rebirth in this life, her childhood memories became even more hazy. Lin Xiner clutched her chest, the feeling of having lost something making her heart ache.
