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

"The General of the Cavalry's Mansion...the Wen family?" The man's voice suddenly changed. "You are—"

Before the man could finish speaking, he was already standing in front of Wen Yuanshu.

Wen Yuanshu instinctively leaned back, but the other person was faster, reaching out to pinch her chin, his gaze tracing her face inch by inch.

Only when she got closer could Wen Yuanshu see the person clearly.

His eyebrows and eyes were deep and cold, and the lower half of his face was covered with a ferocious beast mask with blue faces and fangs, making him look like a fierce and evil god.

After a long while, the man looked away and chuckled softly, "What a coincidence."

Before Wen Yuanshu could say anything, the man had already gotten up and headed towards the bed.

To Wen Yuanshu's astonishment, the man lay down on the bed and casually ordered, "I'm going to sleep for a while. You, keep watch over me."

“You—” Wen Yuanshu stood up abruptly.

She frowned.

Is this person sick?

Know her?

But she doesn't know him!

Wen Yuanshu took a deep breath and silently repeated "I can't beat you" several times before obediently sitting back down.

The room was completely quiet.

Wen Yuanshu sat on the hard box with a hard wall behind her, which was uncomfortable no matter how she sat, and she changed her position several times in a short while.

"Tsk," the person on the bed seemed annoyed by her noise, "Is there a nail stuck in the seat or something?"

Wen Yuanshu's body stiffened.

Then the man said, "Find a comfortable place to lie down, and don't wriggle around and disturb my peaceful sleep."

Wen Yuanshu gritted her teeth and cursed the man several times in her heart, but her body was honest and she moved a few steps to lie down on the chaise longue.

That feels good now.

Being alone in a room with a strange man, Wen Yuanshu dared not relax for a moment, staring wide-eyed until dawn.

As soon as it was light outside, the person in bed got up.

Seeing that Wen Yuanshu also sat up, the man chuckled, "You're quite good at enduring."

The man stood up and strode to the window: "Miss Wen, sweet dreams."

After saying that, the man climbed out of the window and disappeared in the blink of an eye.

In the dim light of dawn, Wen Yuanshu turned to look at her bed.

Last night, the person lay down on the bed and remained motionless all night, so her bed didn't look messy.

However, since it was a man who had lain there, Wen Yuanshu felt uncomfortable. She then lay down on the chaise longue and fell into a deep sleep.

Although there was a minor incident, it was not a big deal. In the following days, the guards at the manor increased their patrols, and Wen Yuanshu played during the day and slept at night, living a very happy life.

But good days always pass quickly, and a few days flew by in the blink of an eye, and it was time for everyone to head home.

Wen Yuanshu was reluctant to leave, but she didn't want her family to worry, so she didn't show it on her face. Only after entering the gate of the Marquis's mansion did she let out a long sigh.

Chunhua also sighed.

The master and servant returned to the main courtyard together, their steps growing heavier with each step.

-

Life in the Marquis's mansion has never been easy.

Sure enough, Wen Yuanshu has only been back for a few days, and she's already causing trouble again.

During the days Wen Yuanshu was away, Xie Qianjiao, in order to show her magnanimity as a second wife, sent tonics to Baitong every day, which made the old lady praise her endlessly.

However, on this day, chaos broke out in Baitong's courtyard.

"My aunt has miscarried!"

Upon hearing this, Wen Yuanshu got up and went over.

When she arrived, she saw Bai Tong leaning against the bed, pale-faced, with large beads of sweat on her forehead, looking very weak.

Wen Yuanshu was completely dazed.

That's such a convincing performance.

She walked closer, took Bai Tong's hand, and looked at her with a questioning gaze.

Bai Tong forced a smile and lowered his voice, saying, "I took some medicine to make it more realistic, so Madam doesn't need to worry."

Wen Yuanshu's gaze sharpened: "I already told you, just act, why are you taking medicine? This is ridiculous!"

Bai Tong was very weak, and managed a smile, but he no longer had the strength to speak.

Wen Yuanshu quickly turned her head: "Go and invite a doctor from Xinglin Hall over."

Chunhua exclaimed "Hey!" and turned to run away.

Before long, the old lady and others heard the news and came in person.
