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

Wen Yuanshu smiled and said, "Don't worry, I'm perfectly fine."

"...It's because I'm so useless."

Chunhua was filled with remorse.

If only she knew martial arts.

If someone skilled in martial arts had been present that day, they could have at least led Wen Yuanshu to safety, if not killed the enemy. They wouldn't have forced Wen Yuanshu to fall into the river.

"Alright, the situation was complicated at the time, and it had nothing to do with whether you knew martial arts or not." Wen Yuanshu raised her hand and gently patted Chunhua's head twice.

Chunhua assumed she was just trying to comfort herself, and when she saw her struggling to get up, she quickly went to help her.

Wen Yuanshu sat up and breathed a sigh of relief: "Besides, it's too late for you to regret it now."

Learning martial arts must begin from a young age.

Looking at Chunhua's red eyes, Wen Yuanshu couldn't help but sigh: "Alright, alright, you look more tired than me. Go back and rest, and come back tomorrow."

Chunhua hadn't slept a wink all night and was almost at her limit. Seeing that Wen Yuanshu was alright, she was relieved.

There was no shortage of maids in the courtyard, so Chunhua called one in before staggering back home.

Wen Yuanshu felt sore all over, as if her body was about to fall apart, so she simply didn't get out of bed. She asked her maid to bring her a storybook and lay on the bed reading it slowly.

After a while, Wangyou came over.

Seeing that she still had the mind to read the storybook, Wangyou couldn't help but twitch the corner of her mouth: "You really are carefree."

Wen Yuanshu smiled and was about to sit up when she was stopped by her hand: "Just lie down."

Wen Yuanshu lay there obediently, letting Wangyou examine her carefully.

Finally, Wangyou breathed a sigh of relief and said, "They're just superficial injuries. Take good care of them."

Wen Yuanshu nodded.

Wangyou then left, but a little while later she brought over a bunch of medicine packets for her to use while bathing.

Looking at the pile of medicine packets, an unpleasant memory from the past flooded back, and Wen Yuanshu couldn't help but let out a long sigh.

Just as she had asked someone to take the things away, the window creaked softly. Hearing the noise, Wen Yuanshu instinctively turned her head and saw Lu Chengyuan closing the window and walking towards her.

Wen Yuanshu was not surprised at all to see him.

Lu Chengyuan stepped forward and leaned down to touch her forehead: "Are you in pain?"

Thank goodness it didn't catch fire.

Wen Yuanshu nodded: "A little."

Those bruises on my body won't go away anytime soon.

Lu Chengyuan's gaze fell on her neck, and he couldn't help but sigh.

The leader was killed on the spot, and as for Wen Yuanshu, there's nothing else they can do but take good care of her.

Lu Chengyuan got up and took off his clothes, moving freely as if nothing had happened.

Wen Yuanshu couldn't help but sigh.

"how?"

“It’s nothing,” Wen Yuanshu said. “I just feel that people are really different from one another.”

Lu Chengyuan understood her meaning after a moment's thought and chuckled, "I'm thick-skinned, what are you comparing with me for?"

He gets injured every now and then, but these injuries are nothing to him anymore.

Wen Yuanshu thought about it and agreed.

When she first met this person after many years, the stench of blood on him was so strong it could kill someone, yet she still managed to heal her injuries herself.

Thinking about it that way, she felt relieved.

Lu Chengyuan lay down beside her, carefully holding her in his arms, his gaze deep and lost in thought.

After a long while, he finally said, "Yuan Shu, how about... we put a few bodyguards around you?"

If possible, he would naturally prefer to stay by Wen Yuanshu's side at all times.

But he knew it was impossible.

There will always be areas he can't take care of.

Therefore, the safest approach is to assign a few people to protect Wen Yuanshu.

In this way, Wen Yuanshu will always be safe, whether he is there or not.

This is the second time he has said that he wants to place people around Wen Yuanshu.

The first time was before she was divorced, and that time, Wen Yuanshu refused without even thinking.
