After the arranged marriage, she farms and survives under the tutelage of the villainous boss.

"Speaking of which, why don't we invite Su Shaoye to come over for dinner? Is Xie Shuheng here?"

“He’s not in the palace, he’s outside the palace, I don’t know where he’s gone. I asked him to become a physician in the Imperial Hospital, but he refused. He’s been avoiding me lately, as if he’s afraid I’ll eat him alive.”

Yunniang was understanding: "He can't run too far, otherwise who will we turn to if we get sick?"

"Anyway, he will eventually come to the Imperial Hospital. I believe you."

In their past lives, Xie Shuheng was so crazy and strange, and everyone followed him. They'll definitely be like that in this life too.

They might only come back after going through something.

You can't say for sure about these things.

Those crabs were steamed, and the rest were used for spicy stir-fried crab and raw marinated drunken crab.

This stuff tastes pretty good.

Everything was set up quickly, and a group of people sat together, raising their glasses to the bright moon.

Tonight I drank quite a bit of wine, ate a lot of crabs, and even talked a lot.

Children like Xiaofantuan and Chungeng went back to sleep after eating their fill of crabs. It was older children like Xie Yang who led them away.

Xie Yang has always been a very responsible person; having children is his duty.

After getting drunk, Ye Qi and Ye Jiu started their usual routine again: sparring.

It's strange how the two seem to never finish their sparring. Their skills are evenly matched, with one suppressing the other.

I originally thought I could hide at home and secretly study for a while, but I never expected that I would be studying so hard, while the other person was also working hard to improve.

It's still a draw.

Every time I encounter something like this, I feel so angry I could die.

Although Xie Shuheng was drunk, he still managed to carry Yunniang back to her palace with ease, even as he stumbled along.

Jiang Zhiyun, still half-asleep, watched Xie Shuheng grinning foolishly and said, "It looks good."

"Is this my husband? My husband is so handsome."

Xie Shuheng sighed: "Is all that's left? When did you start to think you liked me as a person?"

"Yunniang, do you like me?"

After placing the person on the bed, Xie Shuheng continued to ask persistently.

He was pleased that she didn't respond. "Then, do you love me?"

"Yunniang, could you please say 'I love you' to me?"

His eyes were full of hope as he said this.

But he shouldn't put his hopes on a drunkard; otherwise, wouldn't that be just wishful thinking?

Jiang Zhiyun was confused and couldn't understand any of this.

It feels like something is constantly talking into my ear.

"Ugh, stop talking, stop talking, my ears are going to explode."

"Don't talk, okay?"

Yunniang pressed her finger to Xie Shuheng's lips, her face serious, her cheeks flushed. She looked especially adorable.

Xie Shuheng was even more disappointed. Yunniang not only disliked hearing such words, but even told him to stop talking.

Is she really annoyed with herself right now...?

She slept on the outer side so it would be convenient if she needed to vomit. Xie Shuheng carried her to the bath, taking care of her and tidying her up along the way, before finally helping Yunniang put on her pajamas and returning to the bed. He himself was exhausted and was standing by the window in the cold wind.

He began to ponder how to get his wife's attention to him.

"Yunniang, do you think that now that we're an old married couple, you don't need to focus your attention on me anymore?"

Looking at her smooth, almost blindingly white skin, Yunniang seemed even more beautiful after drinking the wine.

When you like someone, everything around them seems good. Xie Shuheng even liked being close to Yunniang, just leaning against her, he could feel her scent, that comfortable and reassuring feeling.

Therefore, as long as he slept in the same bed with Yunniang, Xie Shuheng always slept very well. He was also the kind of person who was very good at controlling his emotions and could have a good dream no matter what.

but now……

He discovered that it wasn't that simple.

For example, I couldn't sleep tonight because my mind was filled with thoughts of Yunniang not caring about me anymore.

I feel so awful, what should I do?

However, Jiang Zhiyun didn't say a word, and her even breathing could be heard.

In other words, he tossed and turned, unable to sleep, and even felt he had a lot to say to her, but his wife was already sleeping soundly.

Xie Shuheng sighed, his face full of affection.

He only spoke very seriously after Yunniang fell asleep.

Possessive: "No matter what, even if you don't like me, Yunniang."

“I still won’t let go. You married me and stayed with me all this time. Even if you resent me in the future, you won’t be able to get rid of me.”

"Once you've messed with me, we'll be entangled together for the rest of our lives."

How can we keep Yunniang here?

Xie Shuheng looked at her, thinking... perhaps, if Xiao Fantuan weren't so sensible, or maybe it would be better to have another child...

But childbirth is another brush with death, and I can't bear to let my wife take that risk.

So... in the end, I did nothing. Worrying and trying to come up with ideas was useless, and I just went to sleep peacefully.

The couple then embraced.

When they woke up the next day, nothing had happened. The two of them got along naturally. Yunniang remembered that Xie Shuheng's birthday gift was coming soon, and she would have to make special preparations for it. Otherwise, this seemingly generous person would probably be angry for a long time because he was actually very stingy.

Last night, Yunniang felt someone chattering in her ear.

"Xie Shuheng, I was asleep last night. Were you badmouthing me behind my back? Saying all sorts of bad things about me?" Yunniang glared at him menacingly.

But Xie Shuheng shook his head: "My wife misunderstands. How could I scold you?"

"I'm just asking if you love me." He said this with a hint of grievance in his voice.

Yunniang: ?

"What's wrong? Why are you suddenly asking this? Have you fallen for someone else?"

Xie Shuheng: "..."

"How could that happen?"

"Then you should hurry up and go to court... Even if you regret marrying me, there's nothing I can do. If you fall for someone else, I'll take my mother with me."

Jiang Zhiyun was joking and didn't answer seriously, but Xie Shuheng turned around and bit her lip: "Yunniang, I love you."

She was a little stunned. This person was always taciturn. Often, he wouldn't even say a word. Now, he had taken the initiative to say such a thing.

After saying that, Xie Shuheng walked out as if he were fleeing.

Jiang Zhiyun: "..."

Why does he seem shy?

Jiang Zhiyun thought, "Then I should say it to him next time. I guess I'll be even more shy then?" Yunniang found that at this moment, she preferred to tease others.

Tsk tsk, Xie Shuheng, who appears beautiful, strong, and even somewhat tough on the surface, actually has no confidence at all.

Next time, Yunniang plans to deliberately scare him.

After Xie Shuheng came out of Yunniang's bedchamber, Xie Liqi stood there, about to go in: "Father~"

"I've come to find my mother."

"Father, take your time going to the morning court. Remember to eat your fill before you go, or Rice Ball will feel bad."

Xie Shuheng frowned: "You talk too fancy."

Even if you do this, I won't give you any extra monthly allowance.

Little Rice Ball stuck out its tongue: "Oh no, Daddy found out what I was up to. I didn't ask for more money; any more money I asked for would be useful."
