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

These past two days, he had been thinking about how Wen Yuanshu had just been frightened, so he hadn't dared to bother her at night. Unexpectedly, he ended up being the one pinned down by Wen Yuanshu.

"what happened?"

"You're in such a hurry to call your master to the capital just for Xi'er?" Wen Yuanshu asked.

There are many martial arts practitioners in the capital, and Lu Chengyuan knows people from Medicine King Valley, which shows that he has a wide network of connections outside. So why bother Ming Liuyun?

And why are they in such a hurry... it all seems rather strange.

Lu Chengyuan sighed deeply: "Nothing can be hidden from you."

He reached out and put his arm around Wen Yuanshu's waist, then rolled over and placed her on the bed: "I was thinking of asking my master to come over. In case His Majesty wants to take action against those people in the Wu family, my master can try to persuade him to stop."

The Wu family members suffered an undeserved disaster. Moreover, in this matter, the Wu family not only saved themselves but also helped them. Therefore, Lu Chengyuan naturally had to do his best to protect those people's lives.

Hearing him say that, Wen Yuanshu was filled with emotion.

Lu Chengyuan has really changed.

It has become...warm.

If it were the old him, he probably would have thrown it away after using it.

Having resolved her doubts, Wen Yuanshu prepared to go to sleep.

But Lu Chengyuan wouldn't let her have her way: "You've recovered pretty much by now, haven't you?"

"Slow down what?" Wen Yuanshu asked, puzzled.

After a moment's thought, she said, "You mean Fukuyama's matter?"

"Ah."

"I've recovered long ago."

This incident didn't have a significant impact on her.

After all, she went there on her own, and when she went, she had already anticipated the situation, which might even be worse than what she expected.

I didn't recover at the time because imagining it is one thing, but experiencing it firsthand is still a bit scary. But after a good night's sleep, I was fine.

Lu Chengyuan suddenly sighed: "We've really lost a lot these past two days."

Just as Wen Yuanshu was wondering, Lu Chengyuan showed her through his actions where he had lost out.

Lu Chengyuan wasn't one to suffer losses, so he went on a rampage all night, making sure to keep Wen Yuanshu quiet until almost dawn before finally letting her go.

For a moment, it seemed to resemble the way the two of them looked when they first got together.

Wen Yuanshu thought that after these past few years, things should have settled down between them, but after this night, Wen Yuanshu had to change her mind.

Lu Chengyuan paid a heavy price for this night's ordeal.

He couldn't go inside to sleep for four or five days.

Every night, he could only wait outside, sneaking in quietly after Wen Yuanshu fell asleep, and leaving before Wen Yuanshu woke up in the morning.

He is clearly Wen Yuanshu's rightful husband, but now it seems like he's having an affair every day.

Lu Chengyuan was even in a daze.

That evening, Ming Liuyun entered the capital. Lu Chengyuan was preparing to submit Shao Hongtao's confession the next day. Feeling uncertain, he wanted to talk to Wen Yuanshu, but was unsure whether he should go in. At that moment, he overheard the two inside chatting.

"Isn't our womanizer coming today?"

Chunhua chuckled: "Madam, you already knew that the master came over every night, so why didn't you just explain it clearly?"

"It's clearly him who won't come to see me, how can I explain it clearly?"

She had barely finished speaking when the door was pushed open.

The flower thief is here.

Chunhua chuckled softly twice and, with great tact, went out.

Lu Chengyuan walked over to Wen Yuanshu and sat down next to her, saying helplessly, "So you just watch me make a fool of myself every day."

He was so careful with his movements every day, but he never expected that Wen Yuanshu already knew.

Wen Yuanshu's eyebrows twitched slightly: "You come home every day and start touching me inappropriately, how could I not know? Do you think I'm dead?"

"Holding you is considered touching me inappropriately?"

Realizing that Lu Chengyuan's words were heading in an inappropriate direction again, Wen Yuanshu raised her hand and covered his mouth: "If you say that again, you can continue sleeping outside."

"Wrong, wrong."

It was getting late, and Wen Yuanshu had already washed up. After many days apart, the two finally went to bed together.

"Your master has arrived, hasn't he?"

Lu Chengyuan nodded: "I just arrived this morning, and I plan to hand over Shao Hongtao's statement tomorrow."

"Your master has come all this way, shouldn't he get a good rest for a couple of days?"

In the darkness of night, Wen Yuanshu's strange expression was not very obvious.

This person has traveled such a long way, and now he has to work as soon as he arrives. It feels like Lu Chengyuan is treating his master like a donkey.

"That old man is very energetic."

Lu Chengyuan recalled the scene of being chased and beaten by Ming Liuyun when he went to pick him up this morning, and his back still hurts.

Wen Yuanshu sensed a hint of sadness in his words and became curious.

Lu Chengyuan sighed helplessly, thinking that since everyone else had seen the spectacle, his wife naturally had nothing to hide. He said, "My master is angry that I haven't gone back to see him for too long, and that I didn't invite him to such a big event as your wedding. He chased after me and beat me up."

They were jumping around all over the place, not at all like a six or seven-year-old should be.

It was just that those Embroidered Uniform Guards who followed him benefited, getting nothing in return for watching the spectacle.

Once this matter is settled, everyone will have extra training!

"Huh?" Wen Yuanshu instinctively hugged him. "Where did you hit me? Does it hurt?"

Lu Chengyuan's "It doesn't hurt" that was almost on his lips changed to: "It hurts! My master doesn't hold back at all. That stick is as thick as your wrist. He hit me with it, and it really hurt."

Embraced by the warm, soft body, Lu Chengyuan squinted his eyes contentedly.

Although Wen Yuanshu felt sorry for him, the beating had already happened, and it was Lu Chengyuan's master who had done it, so she couldn't say anything. She only said, "Why don't you get up and I'll apply some medicine for you?"

"No need, it's getting late, we have important things to do tomorrow, let's go to sleep early."

Although Ming Liuyun hit hard, Lu Chengyuan was thick-skinned and extremely resilient. He didn't feel anything at all, and probably didn't have any marks left. If Wen Yuanshu saw it, wouldn't that give him away?

Hearing him say that, Wen Yuanshu had no choice but to say, "Alright."
