"Daughter-in-law, I'm back!"

The guard whose arm had been treated had already left Yuqing Courtyard. Qin Suiyou was currently discussing the poisoning with Li Yuanyuan. Although his antidote was very effective, it wouldn't hurt to know more.

Seeing Beitang Yan stride in, Qin Suiyou's gaze lingered on him until he reached his side.

"Are you hurt?"

Beitang Yan shook his head and said, "No, those three were noobs. Before I could even make a move, Lu Yu had already tied them up."

Upon hearing this, Qin Suiyou pursed his lips, while Lu Xi, standing beside him, covered his face and smiled, but his laughter was not concealed at all.

Qin Suiyou said helplessly, "Who taught you to call yourself a 'noob'?"

Without realizing it, Beitang Yan blurted out something. He smiled ingratiatingly and then shifted the blame, saying, "Lu Yu, when I caught up with those people, he had already tied them up and then said 'chicken.' I didn't mean to."

Beitang Yan was quick to shift the blame and apologize. He knew Qin Suiyou didn't like him using slightly vulgar language, but it felt really good to say it that way. However, the most important thing right now was not to upset his wife, and he couldn't care less about anything else for the time being.

While apologizing and acknowledging his mistake, Beitang Yan secretly tried to grab Qin Suiyou's hand, but Qin Suiyou dodged him.

Qin Suiyou withdrew his hand, then stood up and said to Li Yuanyuan, "I'll leave Du Ruo here to help take care of Yunying. Xinyue might also have to stay. We'll head back now and put today's matters aside for tomorrow."

Li Yuanyuan also stood up and nodded slightly, then saw the two out of the courtyard.

Beitang Xinyue did have to stay and take care of Yunying, so on the way back to Wutong Courtyard, only Qin Suiyou, Beitang Yan, and Lu Xi were there.

Qin Suiyou walked a step ahead of Beitang Yan and Lu Xi. Beitang Yan wanted to walk alongside him, but Lu Xi pulled him back and asked in a low voice, "How many people did you catch?"

Beitang Yan was somewhat reluctant to talk about it, but Qin Suiyou said at this moment, "Tell me about what happened today."

Just then, the three of them stepped into the gate of Wutong Courtyard. The path widened, and Beitang Yan strode forward, standing next to Qin Suiyou, and said, "There were only three of them in total. They've all been captured, but they haven't been interrogated yet. Lu Yu handed them over to Shuo Han to lock them up."

Lu Xi thought he would ask Lu Yu himself later, and was too lazy to disturb the "two-person world" of the two in front of him, lest Beitang Yan look at him with a long face again.

After the two entered the bedroom, Qin Suiyou didn't say anything else, but asked first, "Have you sent someone to tell Father and Mother that they are very worried about you?"

Beitang Yan replied cautiously, "Originally there wasn't, but when I came back I saw Uncle Gao, and he said he went to inform Father and Mother."

Upon hearing this, Qin Suiyou nodded, and then the room fell silent, with only the rustling of the leaves of the sycamore trees in the courtyard audible.

Beitang Yan racked his brains for a while, but still couldn't figure out why his wife seemed a little unhappy. He moved his face close to hers and waved it around, but she didn't react at all. Normally, she would have told him to sit properly and not to wave around and block his view.

"Daughter-in-law, what's wrong with you?"

Since he couldn't figure it out, he had to speak his mind and not let the problem fester. No one taught him this, but Beitang Yan just subconsciously thought this way. He didn't want any unknown problems between him and his wife.

Qin Suiyou finally reacted, glancing at Beitang Yan before asking, "Why did you impulsively chase after the assassin today?"

Beitang Yan was quick-witted when he needed to be, and upon hearing this, he understood why Qin Suiyou was unhappy.

For a moment, Beitang Yan couldn't help but feel a little smug. However, he couldn't hide his smugness very well. When Qin Suiyou saw this, he pinched Beitang Yan's cheek.

"What are you laughing at? You're taking risks without even understanding the situation. Is that something to be happy about?"

Beitang Yan shook his head very readily and said, "No, I'm happy because you're worried about me, my wife."

Upon hearing this, Qin Suiyou separated the long, slender fingers that were originally pinching one side of Beitang Yan's cheek, and instead pinched both sides towards the middle, giving Beitang Yan a little chicken beak.

"Sharp teeth and sharp mouths."

Beitang Yan said in a deep voice, "My mouth is not good; it's soft."

As they were talking, Beitang Yan leaned his face forward.

"If you don't believe me, try kissing it."

Qin Suiyou immediately let go, pushing Beitang Yan's face away.

"Stop saying such inappropriate things."

Beitang Yan wanted to argue, but Qin Suiyou said, "Alright, tell me honestly, when did you fully recover your kung fu?"

Upon hearing this, Beitang Yan pursed his lips and hummed for a while before saying, "Actually, it was just a few days ago."

Qin Suiyou: "A few days?"

Beitang Yan: "Yesterday, when you were summoned by your mother, you weren't there. I couldn't sit still in the study, so I watched Du Heng teach Liu Yao martial arts for a while. I couldn't help but exchange a few moves with Du Heng, and I found that I seemed to remember how to use the power in my body to fight people."

Qin Suiyou almost laughed in anger, then shook his head and said, "I'm reminding you how to use your skills, not just so you can beat people up."

Although Beitang Yan's physical condition was strangely good, Qin Suiyou still restrained him from doing any strenuous exercise and let him rest for a while. This was one of the reasons why he let Beitang Yan read those books.

After examining Beitang Yan's body these past few days, Qin Suiyou found that apart from amnesia and a childish personality, he was completely fine. So, he began to have Beitang Yan "rehabilitation" done, occasionally calling on a few of Shuo Han's personal guards to assist him, so that Beitang Yan could pick up the martial arts he used before.

However, after a few days, the effects were still mostly limited to certain moves. Beitang Yan was still not very proficient in using his internal energy. Until today, Qin Suiyou saw him leap across several rooftops to chase the assassin with remarkable speed and efficiency.

Beitang Yan nodded and said shrewdly, "I understand. I won't hit people randomly. I probably wasn't someone who would hit people randomly before."

Listening to Beitang Yan's sincere words, Qin Suiyou said, "Alright, in the future, if you encounter a situation like today, you must ensure your own safety first. Running after assassins without even giving a heads-up, even if nothing happens, will still cause people to worry."

"I know I was wrong."

Beitang Yan boldly grabbed Qin Suiyou's arm and then leaned his head against it.

"I won't act on my own anymore; I'll always inform my wife beforehand."

After rubbing against Qin Suiyou's arm for a while, Beitang Yan thought of something and asked, "I remember when we found those three bad guys, the location was quite far from the manor. How did Lu Yu know what happened to us and catch them faster than I did?"
