Fei Wuxuan was shocked. Did Xu Yuerao know that Liang Qiuli was not dead and was being raised by him in a villa outside the city?

But then I thought, no way, is she just making herself out to be?

"You're drunk. How could I, a marquis, possibly keep a mistress?"

Although Fei Wuxuan said this, he was actually a little flustered inside.

"Really not? Then why haven't you stayed at the manor for so many days?"

Xu Yuerao stood up unsteadily and continued speaking.

"But really, it was that vixen Liang Qiuli who seduced you, wasn't it?"

"No! Pear isn't!"

For some reason, Fei Wuxuan was instantly enraged when he heard Xu Yuerao say that. He stood up abruptly and grabbed Xu Yuerao's wrist.

"You're drunk. Qingya, take Madam back to the manor to rest."

Fei Wuxuan's voice was full of impatience. When he saw Qingya come in, he pushed Xu Yuerao into her arms.

"Yes, and what about you, Lord Marquis?"

Qingya helped the slightly drunk Xu Yuerao and asked cautiously.

"When did you, a mere maid, begin to meddle with me, the Marquis?"

Fei Wuxuan glared at Qingya, who was so frightened that she quickly lowered her head and dared not say another word.

He rubbed his temples in frustration and left the private room.

Xu Yuerao wanted to confront Fei Wuxuan, but she was too weak and could only lean against Qingya's chest.

"Madam, please sit for a while. I will go and hire a carriage."

Since Fei Wuxuan also came by carriage, it was assumed that the two of them would return in the same carriage, so one of the drivers was sent back first.

But now that Fei Wuxuan has left alone, Qingya can only hurry up and hire a carriage to send Xu Yuerao back.

Just as Qingya left, Xu Yuerao stood up in a daze and walked out on her own.

"Is this drunkenness?"

This scene was witnessed by the lewd man whom Xu Yuerao had just despised in the teahouse, and he revealed a wicked smile.

He strode over and blocked Xu Yuerao's path.

"Madam, where are you going?"

"Get out of my way, I'm going to settle the score with him!"

Xu Yuerao's eyes were glazed, but she still retained some clarity. She raised her hand to push the man in front of her away, but found that he did not move at all.

"If Madam wants to settle accounts with me, then let's settle them properly."

He then led the person to the private room he had reserved.

To be honest, he couldn't afford this private room, but Xu Yuerao was so generous and had just given him a large sum of money.

That's not perfect.

The more the man thought about it, the more it tempted him.

……

"My lord, where are we going?"

The coachman felt a little scared as he watched Fei Wuxuan storm out of the restaurant, but he still mustered up the courage to ask.

"Go to the villa outside the city. Oh, and first, buy a box of Cui Ji De apricot blossom pastries. Remember to be quick."

Fei Wuxuan frowned, his voice tinged with urgency.

I almost forgot, thank goodness.

……

Liang Qiuli's residence.

"Aunt Qiu, Qi'er is going back."

Princess Zhaoqi happened to be on her day off today, so she thought she would come and visit Liang Qiuli.

"Okay, Qi'er, take these snacks back with you."

Liang Qiuli smiled and nodded, her eyes full of tenderness. She really wanted a daughter like a princess, but she didn't want to have any more children with Fei Wuxuan, so she could only place her affection on Princess Zhaoqi.

"Thank you, Aunt Qiu."

"Qingtao, see the princess out."

Liang Qiuli gave the instructions, and after watching Princess Zhaoqi's departing figure, she turned around and walked behind the screen on the other side.

"Father and Mother, rest assured. The teacher the princess just mentioned is my eldest brother. He is doing very well."

Liang Qiuli spoke gently.

Mr. and Mrs. Liang hadn't seen their eldest son for over a year and were a little worried, so when they came to visit their daughter and grandson this time, they couldn't help but ask about Liang Wende's situation.

"I'm relieved, it's good that your older brother is alright." Mother Liang breathed a sigh of relief, then paused and asked again.

"Li'er, what are your plans for the future?"

Upon hearing this, Liang Qiuli paused for a moment, looked at her mother, took a deep breath, and then slowly spoke.

“Mother, I may take Zhe Si back to the Marquis’s mansion in a while, but don’t worry, it won’t be long before the entire mansion belongs to my son and me.”

Liang's parents were still a little worried, but the events of the past year convinced them of their daughter's capabilities, so they didn't say anything.

"As long as you and your baby are safe, we are relieved."

Although Mr. Liang's tone was calm, his concern and worry were not hard to detect.

The three of them then had lunch together at the villa before Liang's parents returned to their villa.

A short while later, Fei Wuxuan's carriage also stopped at the entrance of the villa.

Fei Wuxuan's anger had subsided considerably along the way, but his expression was still somewhat unpleasant when he saw Liang Qiuli.

"Pear, here's your apricot blossom pastry."

Liang Qiuli took the apricot blossom pastry and then thoughtfully poured Fei Wuxuan a cup of tea.

"My lord, is something troubling you?"

Fei Wuxuan took a sip of tea, glanced at her, and snorted.

"It's all because of Xu Yuerao causing trouble! She actually..."

Xu Yuerao knew that she was still alive because Liang Qiuli had specifically told her, so she wasn't surprised that Liang Qiuli was causing trouble.

She even listened with great interest to the story of Xu Yuerao being humiliated in front of Xu Xingrao.

But a professional actress, of course, wouldn't show it; she even pretended to be guilty.

"My lord, it's all my fault. If it weren't for me, you and your wife wouldn't be together..."

"It's none of your business. Some things can be kept secret for a while, but not forever. She'll find out eventually."

Fei Wuxuan looked at the considerate Liang Qiuli, a hint of tenderness flashing in his eyes.

He reached out and pulled Liang Qiuli into his arms.

"How about Li'er comes back to the Marquis's residence with me?"

Upon hearing this, Liang Qiuli's face showed a hint of shyness, but more so, hesitation.

Although she was going back to the Marquis's mansion, it wasn't like this, so she lowered her eyes and put on a pitiful look.

"If I go back now, Madam will probably be even less likely to accept me. Perhaps..."

"Don't worry, as long as I'm here, I will never let you suffer any injustice."

Fei Wuxuan interrupted Liang Qiuli and said with a serious expression.
