A crown princess who doesn't do infrastructure construction isn't a good doctor.

At first, Beitang Yan was able to wait patiently, but with no entertainment to pass the time, it felt like an eternity. He was getting sleepy, but Qin Suiyou still hadn't returned.

He ran from the bedroom to the study, and in his boredom, he almost tore down the asparagus fern bonsai that Qin Suiyou had already trimmed, which Beitang Xinyue had given him a few days ago.

Just then, Lan Feng happened to pass by and saw Bei Tang Yan's eager "ruthless" actions, so he disregarded the rules and stepped forward to stop him.

However, Beitang Yan didn't care about those rules anymore. He just wanted to know: Why hasn't my wife come back yet?

Lan Feng was afraid that Bei Tang Yan would go and destroy something else, so he stayed in the study for a while and then he got the chance to ask him a lot of questions.

But Lan Feng didn't know when Qin Suiyou would return. Bei Tangyan was dissatisfied with his answer, but still wanted to see Qin Suiyou, so he asked Lan Feng to take him to find him. Originally, he wanted to go by himself, but he was afraid that he would not be able to find the way and would miss his wife, so he thought of asking someone to take him.

Lan Feng was ultimately afraid of the Crown Prince's remaining power, so he took Beitang Yan to Shi'an Courtyard.

However, as the journey progressed, Beitang Yan found it easier and easier to walk. He even complained that Lan Feng was leading the way too slowly, so he went ahead on his own. In the end, he not only found the right path but also left Lan Feng far behind.

But before Beitang Yan could reach Shian Temple, he saw the figure he had been longing for at an intersection.

Just as Beitang Yan was about to greet them from afar, he first spotted Chu Yuning next to Qin Suiyou. The two were having a normal conversation, without any hint of ambiguity, but he was extremely unhappy.

Is it possible that my wife is staying away just to talk to this woman?

So the sweet, sticky greeting turned into a fierce, menacing interrogation!

"What are you talking about?"

Lu Xi, who hadn't managed to join in the fun because she wasn't interested in the previous conversation, whispered in Qin Suiyou's ear, "Whoa~ The 'jealous husband' is here!"

His words were full of excitement at the prospect of something exciting to watch.

As Qin Suiyou gestured to Lu Xishao to stop talking nonsense, Beitang Yan had already walked up to his side.

"Why did it take so long when you said it would be a little while? I couldn't wait, so I asked Lan Feng to bring me here. But Lan Feng walks too slowly. Luckily, I can find my way by my own senses."

Qin Suiyou glanced at Lan Feng following Beitang Yan's words, and Lan Feng returned him with a miserable smile.

After speaking, Beitang Yan turned sideways and half-blocked Qin Suiyou's path.

"who is she?"

Beitang Yan stared at Chu Yuning with unfriendly eyes and full of vigilance.

"She is……"

Qin Suiyou originally wanted to tell the truth directly, but Chu Yuning beat him to it.

"My daughter is Chu Yuning, the eldest daughter of the Chu family. My mother and Princess An are old friends. She recently came to visit Princess An and is staying at the Prince's residence temporarily."

Qin Suiyou was stunned. He really didn't expect Chu Yuning to have such a talent for talking nonsense, while Lu Xi next to him burst out laughing.

"is it?"

Beitang Yan was skeptical. Before his amnesia, he had no recollection of the eldest daughter of the Chu family, let alone now.

"So what were you talking about here just now?"

Hearing Beitang Yan ask this question, Qin Suiyou looked at Chu Yuning with a relaxed expression, wanting to see how this Miss Chu, who had surprised him quite a bit, would continue to make up stories.

Chu Yuning replied calmly, "The Lord is kind and benevolent. He just came from the Princess's place and asked me if I was used to the food and lodging. He also said he would send me some rare tea and snacks. I was just about to thank him when the Prince arrived."

"hehe."

Qin Suiyou usually only smiles with his eyebrows and the corners of his mouth curved, but now he was genuinely amused by Chu Yuning's words and burst out laughing.

Just as Beitang Yan turned his head as if to ask if that was the case, he smiled and said, "That's right. Miss Chu has come to the manor as a guest, so we must make you feel at home. I have nothing more to ask now. Would Miss Chu like to return to her courtyard?"

Chu Yuning gave a graceful bow.

"It's time to go back. I'll take my leave now. I'll also trouble you with your work in the future."

As she said the last sentence, Chu Yuning looked up and glanced in Beitang Yan's direction.

Qin Suiyou nodded in agreement. After Chu Yuning turned around and walked a short distance down another road opposite them, he thought of Chu Yuning's meaningful look at the end and shook his head with a helpless smile.

Beitang Yan asked with concern and confusion, "Wife, what's wrong?"

"It's nothing, let's go back."

"Oh."

When they returned to Wutong Courtyard, while Beitang Yan was fiddling with some small ornaments and not paying attention to Qin Suiyou, Lu Xi quietly asked, "Why did Chu Yuning say those things when we were there just now?"

Qin Suiyou gave him a look that said, " Figure it out yourself," but Lu Xi wasn't happy and kept rambling on about wanting to know the answer now.

"Tell me, please tell me, please tell me, please tell me~"

Left with no other option, Qin Suiyou said, "She's trying to test me, you see."

With a glance towards Beitang Yan, Qin Suiyou continued, "She wanted to test Beitang Yan's condition. As you saw, he now believes whatever people say, and his behavior is said to be very different from before. Even though Miss Chu was a young lady from a respectable family, given her background, she should have a general understanding of Beitang Yan's character. Now she's just believing in the aftereffects of Beitang Yan's actions, and in the end, she even pitied me."

Lu Xi understood the basics, but then...

Why should she pity you?

Qin Suiyou looked up at Beitang Yan, who was also looking over. The two looked at each other, and Beitang Yan gave a naive and innocent smile, which also had a strange kind of naivety.

"I understand, I understand..."

Her husband, who was originally a decorated war hero and of noble birth, woke up from a serious injury but lost his memory and became a "giant baby." Regardless of his motives, Qin Suiyou will have to take good care of him from now on. However, this is probably not a good ending for a young lady from a wealthy and ambitious family.

However, although Beitang Yan suffers from amnesia, there is nothing wrong with his body. Lu Xi thinks that Miss Chu is probably overthinking things.

But in fact, even Qin Suiyou was wrong about Chu Yuning's true thoughts.

Chu Yuning, who had already returned to Molan Courtyard, was saying to her personal maid Ling'er, "The way the young master is acting now, his feelings for the principal wife are quite unusual. Such a cold and indifferent person can be very difficult to deal with once he falls in love. I wonder if the principal wife can handle it."

As Chu Yuning's dowry maid, Ling'er had served her since childhood and knew her mistress best, but she didn't immediately understand why her young mistress would say such a thing.

"Why are you so sure that the young master has fallen in love? After all, he has also lost his memory."

Chu Yuning said, "Do you still remember the incident four years ago when I accidentally fell into the water with the palace and was rescued?"

Seeing Ling'er nod, Chu Yuning continued, "At that time, they only thought that a palace maid who was in the water had pulled me up. In fact, the person who saved me was the Prince of An. However, he took a broom from the corner of the wall, which was probably forgotten by a palace servant, and forcibly swept me ashore."

Ling'er exclaimed in shock, "So, the injury on Miss's back wasn't from hitting the rocks in the lake, but from being whipped by the young master with a broom!"

The unpleasant memories still made Chu Yuning angry, and after nodding, she continued to explain why she had said those words today.

"After we got ashore, I accidentally splashed some water from my clothes onto him. He didn't say anything at first, but when he noticed that his purse was also wet, he angrily and anxiously opened it, took out a portrait, and seeing that it was unharmed, left without saying a word. A moment later, a palace maid came to the lakeside and got herself wet. She was the one everyone thought had saved me."

As Ling'er was still reeling from the truth, Chu Yuning added, "I vaguely saw that the person in that portrait was clearly the current emperor..."

While they were still immersed in the past, in the Wutong Courtyard, Qin Suiyou finished explaining to Lu Xi and also remembered that when Chu Yuning made up the story, he had made up something out of nothing about him wanting to send tea and snacks. So he called Du Ruo and asked her to make some new tea and snacks, pack them up, and have them sent to the Molan Courtyard.
