After being reborn, her aloof ex-husband and her crazy deceased husband got into a fight.

Gan Cai'er has been extremely busy lately.

Her words proved prophetic.

Jinxiufang's business was booming, with orders piling up day by day, and the embroiderers were working overtime but still couldn't keep up. So, recruiting more embroiderers became an urgent matter.

Gan Cai'er has to collaborate with Zhu Xiaoxiao every day to design the latest styles, and also manage the selection of embroiderers. In recent days, she has been leaving early and returning late, extremely busy.

That day, she was delayed by an embroidery pattern and returned home even later, when the moon was already high in the sky.

"Miss, Boss Zhang is in charge of the embroidery shop, so you don't need to worry about everything. Look at you, you've lost so much weight these past few days," Xiao Hong complained, unable to hide her concern.

“Mr. Zhang is a businessman, how could he draw clothing designs? While the store is doing well now, we need to bring in more new styles so that other stores can’t keep up with copying them.”

Pushing open the gate to the Lan family's courtyard, the entire courtyard was dark and quiet, suggesting that Zhu Xiaoxiao had already gone to bed.

"This is utterly unruly!" Xiao Hong suddenly shouted angrily.

"Green Grass and Green Leaf, those little hooves are getting lazier and lazier! Miss hasn't even come home yet, and they've all gone to rest, not even leaving a single person to guard the gate!"

"I'll go and tear these little sluts to shreds!"

As she spoke, Xiao Hong rolled up her sleeves and headed towards the servants' quarters where the young maids lived.

Gan Cai'er grabbed her arm.

"Alright, you've had a long day, get some rest. You can teach those little girls a lesson anytime."

"Then I'll go boil some water first, and then I'll help you wash up."

"Don't bother boiling water, it's too much trouble. Go fetch some water, I just need to wash my face." Gan Cai'er said, yawning as she walked into the main house.

When Gan Cai'er lifted the bedroom curtain, a gust of cold wind blew by, and she suddenly shivered, the hairs on her body standing on end.

My sleepiness vanished instantly.

An innate animalistic alertness set off alarm bells in her mind.

There's someone in the house!

Gan Cai'er stood at the doorway, her fingers gripping the doorframe tightly, her mind racing. What should she do? Should she run, or pretend nothing happened?

Just then, a very faint fragrance drifted into her nose on the breeze. It was the fresh scent of grass and trees, mixed with a hint of sweetness. In addition to these two pleasant aromas, she caught a familiar, unmistakable scent.

Gan Cai'er felt a chill run down her spine. Forgetting all her fear, she strode towards the bed and yanked open the bed curtains.

Then she saw a man lying on a bed, his clothes disheveled.

A light blue robe hung loosely on his body, the front half-open, revealing his delicate collarbone and a large expanse of his chest.

Her fair skin, bathed in the soft moonlight, radiated a lustrous glow, white and smooth like the finest Hetian jade. Her long, ink-black hair was casually spread across the bed, giving her an air of languid harmlessness.

Who else could this person be but Lan Tingzhou!

His eyes were closed and his breathing was deep and even, as if he were asleep.

Gan Cai'er made such a commotion entering the room, yet it didn't disturb him at all. This must be more than just ordinary "sleeping".

Gan Cai'er felt her head buzzing. She clenched her fists, took two deep breaths, and suddenly burst out with a furious shout.

"Lan Tingzhi! Get out here right now!"

"Hey, hey, hey, sister-in-law, you're so smart!"

"I knew it was me right away."

With that soft laugh, a figure flipped over and entered through the window.

Gan Cai'er turned on the lights in the room and looked at the young man in front of her.

Two or three years had passed since I last saw him, and the boy who used to be so childish had grown a head taller than me.

"You're causing trouble as soon as you get back. What are you trying to do?" Gan Cai'er said irritably.

"Oh, this is a special gift I prepared for you as we first met," Lan Tingzhi said with a grin.

"You're giving your brother away as a gift?!"

Gan Cai'er felt her blood rushing to her head and really wanted to slap someone.

“Gifts should naturally be given to the recipients who like them the most. I know my sister-in-law likes my brother the most. So, isn’t it perfect that I send him over?” Lan Tingzhi said confidently.

"Don't worry, I only pressed my brother's sleeping and paralysis acupoints, so he'll be fine. He'll wake up in half an incense stick's time, but his limbs will be weak and he won't have much strength."

"Well, then you can do whatever you want, you can do whatever you want."

As he spoke, Lan Tingzhi winked at Gan Cai'er.

Wasn't Lan Tingzhou afraid he'd grow up to be crooked, so she specially sent him to Xuancang Mountain to be confined and learn martial arts? Why does she feel like he's growing up to be even more crooked?

Gan Cai'er looked at Lan Tingzhi with a complicated expression.

"Little bean, aren't you afraid your brother will punish you when he wakes up tomorrow?"

"I'm not afraid." Lan Tingzhi said nonchalantly, "He might hit me a few times at most, but I'm tough and thick-skinned, so I'm not afraid."

"Sister-in-law, let me tell you, my brother is very popular with girls. I just got back and heard that matchmakers have been wearing out the doorstep of our house."

"You'd better keep a close eye on my brother, don't let him get kidnapped."

"Alright, alright, I got it. Now get out!"

"No one lives in the west wing. I'll have Xiao Hong tidy it up for you in a bit."

Gan Cai'er had a headache and pushed Lan Tingzhi towards the door.

"I tidied up the west wing a long time ago. Don't worry, sister-in-law, no one will bother you and my brother tonight. I've put everyone in the courtyard to sleep with my acupressure."

Gan Cai'er really wanted to pick up Lan Tingzhi and whip him!

She watched Lantingzhi enter the west wing, sighed deeply, and then returned to her bedroom.

As soon as she stepped into the room, she saw Lan Tingzhou staring at her with his eyes open.

"No, this has nothing to do with me!" Gan Cai'er immediately distanced herself from the matter.

"If you hadn't spoiled him, would he have been so lawless?"
