There are mythical animals at home to ward off evil spirits

No longer having to face temple blessings every day, even the torture made Zhao Wan feel lighter. At the same time, she had more time to appreciate the bodhi flower in her heart.

Song Huiru is the second daughter of the Prime Minister. Her biological brother is the eldest son. She also had an eldest concubine before her. The difference between the concubine and the concubine naturally leads to different treatment.

She is a pampered flower who has never seen the evil in the world. She is ignorant and simple. Because she has been pampered since she was a child, she has a pampered temperament, but she has never done anything evil.

Her two dowry maids had been serving her since childhood. If Zhu Zhenghe hadn't suggested it, they would never have thought of becoming concubines. They had deeper feelings for Song Huiru than Zhu Zhenghe.

But they also knew that it would be better for Song Huiru if they became concubines, rather than having other people coming to disturb the family and making the house restless.

When Zhao Wan came in, they had deliberately tested whether he would be a threat to Song Huiru, but they found that Zhao Wan was very law-abiding and she didn't even seem to have any friendship with Zhu Zhenghe.

Song Huiru heard their descriptions and guessed that maybe Zhu Zhenghe found a decoration just to silence others.

Thinking of this, she couldn't help but feel happy and a little shy. She felt that she was the happiest girl, whether at home or here.

She had heard that many brides had to face difficulties from their mothers-in-law, but she was in charge of the household as soon as she entered the house. No one disrespected her, and her husband loved her very much. She felt that she was very lucky.

However, she was also a little curious about Zhao Wan because of this. It stands to reason that a commoner like her who once became rich and then married into a newly wealthy family should not be as careless as she was.

Every day the concubine has to say hello to her, the head wife, and she has seen Zhao Wan before.

She has a thin body, pale cheeks, and a pair of narrow red eyes that are always downcast. She is too quiet. Sometimes Song Huiru will forget her existence when she talks to others.

But Song Huiru would often see her in the house. When he suddenly met her, he could see her eyes that were always downcast reflecting her figure brightly and joyfully. However, within an instant, those eyes would be downcast. Hanging down, his expression can no longer be seen clearly.

She always wanted to say something to Zhao Wan like this, but she didn't know what to say when she opened her mouth.

She felt that Zhao Wan was too humble. Even though her status was low, she was not a vicious mistress and had never been difficult or harsh on her. Why was she so obedient when he saw her?

Furthermore, she liked those eyes very much, the narrow red and phoenix eyes were very beautiful, but they were not very visible.

Zhu Zhenghe was too busy. She was always busy with official duties during the day and had to socialize when she had free time. Therefore, she was unable to get pregnant in the early days of her marriage.

It was because he had a concubine at home that he had less unnecessary social interactions and more time to be intimate with her. He had not touched any of the concubines. Song Huiru was both happy and guilty about this.

But she didn't know that Zhu Zhenghe was just bored. It was enough to deal with one person, and he had no intention of coaxing another one.

Because of this, Song Huiru became pregnant.

It's a pity that even so, Zhu Zhenghe can't spend much time with him.

Zhu Zhenghe was a natural-born general. He only began to learn the art of war and strategy when he studied martial arts with a famous master. In just a month, he was as good as others in a year, which is why he became the top scholar in high school.

Therefore, Zhu Zhenghe's position has been promoted, and he has become busier and often stayed in his office.

Song Huiru was raising her baby alone at home, and she often met Zhao Wan quietly standing in the corner in the yard and peeking at her.

She felt that she looked like a kitten, looking at her pitifully.

Song Huiru remembered Zhu Zhenghe's words to remind her to be careful about Zhao Wan, and she also discovered that she seemed to see Zhao Wan more and more after becoming pregnant.

She carefully asked people to pay attention to see if Zhao Wan had done anything detrimental to her, but found nothing. She had never done anything but looked at her often.

Song Huiru was puzzled and didn't understand what Zhao Wan meant. However, since Zhao Wan was not hostile to her, she was willing to make friends with him. When they met, they would chat a few words or share some snacks.

Zhao Wan still didn't talk much, but she responded to every word Song Huiru said, and she ate the snacks he gave her without any suspicion of her.

Such behavior makes Song Huiru very embarrassed. Zhao Wan trusts her too much. If she intends to cause harm, a few lives may not be enough.

After several back and forths, Song Huiru became quite familiar with Zhao Wan. Although the distance between the two of them was still not close even if they were face to face, and although Zhao Wan still spoke very little, Song Huiru felt that they were getting closer.

She didn't know that Zhao Wan wanted to get close to her but also wanted to stay away from her.

She longed to be close to beauty, and couldn't help but want to touch it, but she was afraid, she was afraid that one day she would go crazy.

At first, she looked at Song Huiru from a distance, but as she slowly got closer, desire arose in her heart, longing for beauty, but she didn't deserve it!

She was too dirty, but Song Huiru was too clean. She refused to get closer. She didn't want to taint her, and she didn't want to make her dirty.

But she thought that as long as she kept it like this, she could always look at her, which would be as peaceful as she wanted, quietly watching her live her beautiful life.

Zhao Wan knew that Zhu Zhenghe did not love Song Huiru, and she also knew that if Zhu Zhenghe needed to abandon Song Huiru, he would not hesitate.

So, she learned to do something. She wanted Song Huiru to be like this forever and live the way she wanted to live. She had to keep her clean for the rest of her life and make her ignorant of the evil in the world.

However, Zhao Wan learned something unexpectedly.

She had no intention of doing what Zhu Zhenghe did, but that day she bumped into a person who came out of Zhu Zhenghe's study.

When he passed by her, he called her name with a slight smile and asked her a question.

"Do you really think you've escaped?"

Zhao Wan stiffened and stared at that person with stern eyes.

He is a man but he has no hair and a soft voice, so he is the father-in-law and he comes from the palace.

After the man finished speaking, he ignored Zhao Wan and walked away.

Zhao Wan became suspicious of Zhu Zhenghe. If he was involved...she would definitely kill him!

In the courtyard of the Number One Scholar's Mansion, among the formations arranged by Bai Hao, Qin Nan felt a little uncomfortable as he watched the man leave.

Qin Nan: "Is that person the person behind the scenes we are looking for?"

Bai Hao: "Yes and no, it is indeed him, but that is not his real body, it is just an illusion. Just like we have spent several months in this scroll, there are only two or three days outside the scroll."

Qin Nan: "How long do we have to wait? Luo Lin shows no signs of waking up at all. According to you, the Song family is almost gone. Song Huiru..."

Bai Hao touched Qin Nan's head: "All this has passed a long time ago. Even if something is changed here, it doesn't mean anything."

Qin Nan was silent when he heard this.
