May this scumbag husband, who favored his concubine over his wife, rest in peace.

Everyone was astonished when they saw the figure in the river.

What day is it today?

In the past, it would take three to five months for one person to rush over, but today, two people rushed over in half a day.

However, the man was in much better shape than the girl; after being stopped by the rocks, he actually managed to stand up on his own.

From a distance, the man was tall and slender with broad shoulders and a narrow waist, and his aura was unlike that of an ordinary person.

Lu Chengyuan stood up and looked around, his gaze falling on the group of women. Then, he met a pair of eyes that he knew all too well.

Wen Yuanshu also saw him and subconsciously wanted to go to Lu Chengyuan, but she had no strength. She had just gritted her teeth and stood up when the man was already in front of her.

The next moment, she was pulled into the man's arms.

The man held her, seemingly using all his strength.

“Wen Yuanshu…” Lu Chengyuan’s voice trembled slightly, filled with the relief of surviving a disaster.

"How could you... how could you again..." Wen Yuanshu nestled in his arms, already sobbing uncontrollably.

“With you here, how could I not come?”

Holding the person firmly in his arms and feeling their rising and falling breaths, Lu Chengyuan finally felt at ease.

Nothing in this world is more painful than losing something you've gained, and nothing is more exhilarating than getting something back.

Lu Chengyuan suppressed his excitement and gently comforted Wen Yuanshu. Then he looked up at the women watching them and said, "Thank you all for saving us."

Everyone waved their hands.

One of the kind people said, "Young man, why don't you settle the young lady down first?"

Lu Chengyuan nodded, and after confirming several times that she could walk on her own, he finally let go of her hand and helped her follow the woman into the village.

Even if he was in a bad situation, he would still have the strength to hug Wen Yuanshu. But in front of so many people, even if he wanted to hug her, Wen Yuanshu probably wouldn't agree.

Fortunately, the village was right by the river and not far away. The hostess quickly boiled water and prepared clean clothes before letting Wen Yuanshu into the bathhouse.

Wen Yuanshu sat in the bathtub, looking down at the bruises on her body, and couldn't help but smile bitterly.

I just hope those people are worse off than her.

Suddenly, a loud "bang" rang out outside.

Immediately afterwards, she heard the woman standing outside the window mutter, "These fireworks aren't very pretty."

"It's for delivering messages," Lu Chengyuan explained patiently.

Wen Yuanshu came to her senses, quickly finished her bath, changed into clean clothes, and went out.

Upon seeing her, the female protagonist realized what it meant to be naturally beautiful; even dressed in the most ordinary clothes, she exuded an air of nobility.

But the bruises around his neck were really an eyesore.

Seeing that Lu Chengyuan's clothes were still wet, Wen Yuanshu quickly pushed him into the bath room.

A short while later, Lu Chengyuan also came out after changing his clothes.

The lady of the house looked at him and sighed again, "I can hardly believe this is my husband's clothes!"

People say that clothes make the man, but that saying doesn't apply to these two at all.

These two people would look good even in coarse cloth.

Lu Chengyuan accepted the compliment with a smile.

Their hair was still wet, so the hostess quickly invited them into the house and told them to sit by the brazier.

After chatting for a few minutes, the hostess got up and left again. A little while later, she brought over a bowl of hot noodle soup and asked the two of them to drink it.

The noodle soup was extremely bland, but after finishing a bowl, I felt warm all over and even broke out in a sweat.

Seeing Wen Yuanshu's complexion brighten, Lu Chengyuan breathed a sigh of relief: "From now on, I really will have to keep a close eye on you."

Whenever you let this person out of your sight, that person always seems to encounter such a dangerous situation.

Last time it was falling off a cliff, this time it's falling into a river. Lu Chengyuan really didn't dare to think about what kind of trouble this person might encounter next.

"Are you having some kind of bad luck with someone? Why don't we go burn some incense?"
