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

For a moment, his expression softened unconsciously.

"Yuan Shu".

he called softly.

Upon seeing him approach, Wen Yuanshu's smile remained, but Wen Xi instantly suppressed her smile, stood up, and bowed to him: "Commander Lu."

Lu Chengyuan glanced at him: "Calling me 'Dad' is fine too."

Just consider it getting used to in advance.

Wen Xi twitched the corner of her mouth but didn't respond.

Wen Yuanshu glanced at him, finally stopping her smile: "Don't teach the child bad habits."

"What do you mean by 'teaching someone badly'? It's only a matter of time." Lu Chengyuan swaggered over and sat down next to Wen Yuanshu.

Considering the presence of the child, Lu Chengyuan ultimately refrained from doing anything excessive.

However, to Wen Xi, Lu Chengyuan was an outsider.

With outsiders present, Wen Xi fell silent and obediently sat down next to Wen Yuanshu.

However, some people took advantage of the situation and wouldn't even let him sit down, trying to kick him out after only a few words.

Lu Chengyuan didn't say it directly, but he gave Wen Yuanshu a wink when she lowered her eyes and head.

He pretended not to see it once or twice, but the man's face gradually showed some impatience, as if he was about to kick him out if he didn't leave.

Left with no other choice, Wen Xi got up and took his leave.

As soon as Wen Xi left, Lu Chengyuan told Wen Yuanshu about Princess Anping and Princess Jieyou being expelled from the capital.

Wen Yuanshu was not surprised by this.

After all, those people in the palace have been dissatisfied with Princess Anping for quite some time now.

Moreover, Princess Anping almost added another stain to the royal family's reputation.

Now that we have leverage over them, we naturally want to hold onto it tightly.

“That princess still needs to be dealt with.” A glint of light flashed in Lu Chengyuan’s eyes.

"What else can be done?"

Lu Chengyuan pondered for a moment and said, "In my opinion, we should only send that one person back."

Wen Yuanshu pursed her lips.

"Let it go," Wen Yuanshu said, grasping his hand. "His Majesty has already said that they must never return to the capital, that's enough."

Now that Princess Anping only has this one daughter left, if something happens to Princess Jieyou, and Princess Anping does something crazy, we'll have to deal with it all, which would be a huge loss.

When a person has nothing, they also have no weaknesses.

Dealing with such a person is not only exhausting, but a single oversight can easily lead to your own downfall.

Since the mother and daughter will never be able to enter the capital in this lifetime, let's be lenient with them.

Lu Chengyuan pondered for a moment, then nodded and said, "I'll listen to you."

Seeing that it was getting late, the two had dinner as usual, took a walk around the backyard, and then went back to rest.

For two or three days in a row, the capital was calm and peaceful. However, inside the General's Mansion, Lu Chengyuan spent more time with Wen Yuanshu than before.

I wish I could be with her day and night, never leaving her side.

Wen Yuanshu naturally felt something was amiss, but after asking several times, Lu Chengyuan only said that nothing was wrong.

After dinner that day, Lu Chengyuan, contrary to his usual behavior, did not stay in the courtyard. Instead, he stretched and said, "It's still early. I'm going to go find your older brother."

"Looking for my older brother?" Wen Yuanshu was slightly taken aback. "What do you want with him?"

"Since we've got nothing better to do, let's have a little spar," Lu Chengyuan said, stretching his arms as he spoke.

Wen Yuanshu couldn't help but twitch the corners of her mouth.

He seems to be in a good mood today.

Wen Yuanshu wasn't interested in any of this, so she nodded and told him to go by himself.

As Lu Chengyuan stepped out of the courtyard gate, the relaxed smile on his face vanished completely. He took a deep breath before heading towards Wen Jing's courtyard.

At this moment, Madam Wen was not present, and only Wen Jing was sitting in the courtyard, which made it convenient for the two of them to talk.

Hearing someone approaching, Wen Jing looked up at him, not surprised to see him: "Sit down."

Lu Chengyuan stepped to sit beside him and took the teacup from his hand: "Why?"

Wen Jing sighed softly and didn't hide anything: "I just think that person has a point."

"who?"
