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

"Why did Miss Water suddenly come here?"

Shui Yingrong sighed: "I just arrived in the capital and don't have many friends. A few days ago at the banquet, I saw that only you, sister, caught my eye. So I mustered up the courage to come and talk to you more."

As she spoke, she gestured to the servants to bring up the gifts.

It is a jade necklace, exquisitely crafted and luxuriously decorated, worth a fortune.

Wen Yuanshu was stunned when she saw the necklace.

Have their relationship gotten so good that they're giving each other such expensive gifts?

When did this happen? How come she doesn't know?

“I brought this from Jiangnan. I doubt it would be common even in the capital. I was wondering what kind of person could be worthy of this necklace. But after a fleeting glimpse at the banquet last time, I knew this necklace already had its owner.”

As Shui Yingrong spoke, she got up and walked to Wen Yuanshu's side, seemingly intending to put the Yingluo on her directly.

In Wen Yuanshu's view, the two were far from being that intimate, and she naturally resisted her approach. Seeing this, Chunhua stayed by her side without leaving her side, and stretched out her hand to Shui Yingrong: "Miss Shui, may I do it for you?"

Seeing Wen Yuanshu's somewhat stiff expression, Shui Yingrong could only say, "Alright."

She sat down again and watched Chunhua put Yingluo on Wen Yuanshu's head before smiling and saying, "Sister's maids are all so clever. No wonder you are worthy of being called sister."

Wen Yuanshu twitched the corner of her mouth.

How should I respond to that?

Shui Yingrong rested her chin on her hand and said, "Sister, are there any fun places to visit in or around the capital? I just arrived and I'm so bored."

“It’s a bit of a coincidence, I don’t usually like to go out much,” Wen Yuanshu said. “But His Highness Prince Qin should be very familiar with the capital.”

Although her words didn't explicitly convey a refusal, anyone with a discerning eye would understand.

“Really?” Shui Yingrong’s eyes lit up. “Since you’re not familiar with the capital either, why don’t we travel around together in a couple of days and get acquainted?”

"what……"

That's how you respond to that.

Wen Yuanshu was completely at a loss for words.

But when she looked into Shui Yingrong's bright, sparkling eyes, Wen Yuanshu inexplicably thought of Lu Tang.

Reluctantly, she finally nodded: "...Alright, let's go in a couple of days, when my husband is on leave, how about that?"

Wen Yuanshu had already agreed, so it was understandable that she would make such a request.

Although Shui Yingrong didn't have a good impression of Lu Chengyuan and thought he was a coward, she had no choice but to nod and agree since Wen Yuanshu had said so: "Then let's do it this way, as long as you're happy, sister."

Wen Yuanshu gave a polite smile.

She had initially worried that Shui Yingrong's purpose in coming here was impure, but Shui Yingrong asked all sorts of questions and seemed genuinely just curious about her. Wen Yuanshu then relaxed and chatted with her casually.

The conversation went on until noon.

Shui Yingrong stayed for a meal, and they chatted until Lu Chengyuan returned. Only then did Shui Yingrong reluctantly get up and leave.

Lu Chengyuan's gaze fell on Wen Yuanshu's neck, and his eyebrows twitched slightly: "When did you buy this necklace? It's quite beautiful."

Wen Yuanshu smirked: "Isn't it beautiful? I risked half my life for it."

Sitting here with her all day, listening to Shui Yingrong ramble on about nothing and having to constantly agree with and coax her, wasn't that exhausting?

Lu Chengyuan blinked: "By the way, what did she come over for?"

"She wants us to accompany her out for a walk in a couple of days," Wen Yuanshu said.

Lu Chengyuan sneered, "You're just bored."

Who would want to go out with her?

Wen Yuanshu looked at him, her eyes deep and thoughtful: "I agree."

“…” Lu Chengyuan coughed. “On another note, it’s been quite a while since we’ve strolled around the capital. We should take a walk.”

Chunhua gave a slight twitch at the corner of her mouth.

She knew it.

The words spoken by this person in front of Wen Yuanshu can be disregarded.
