Shen Xuanheng was almost so angry that he laughed.

He lifted the quilt but refused to get up. He kept calling "Madam" coquettishly, forcing Su Xuqing to turn back and look at him, "What's wrong?"

Shen Xuanheng pretended to be weak and said, "I was disturbed by your nightmare last night and couldn't sleep well all night. I don't feel well. How about..."

He hadn't finished talking when Su Xuqing, who took him seriously, interrupted him, "You don't feel well? Where do you feel uncomfortable? Feel my pulse so I can take a look."

Su Xuqing thought that he had vomited black blood yesterday and had not recovered yet. She never expected that as soon as she approached, Shen Xuanheng suddenly pulled her into his arms.

The man stubbornly finished the unfinished kiss, and then he let go of Su Xuqing's lips reluctantly, "Okay, I feel comfortable now."

"You!" Su Xuqing was furious.

She never thought that this bad guy would use such an excuse to deceive and tease her!

Pushing the person back angrily, Su Xuqing left quickly with her ears red, walked straight to the door and opened it, "Come in and serve me."

The leader was the little maid Qiuyue from that day. She was holding a plate in her hand, on which was a set of moon-white clothes.

After exchanging a glance with Su Xuqing, Qiuyue handed over the plate, looking somewhat embarrassed, "Madam, this is the clothes that the West Courtyard Young Lady sent to you early this morning. She said that she would be returning home with you, so it would be better if the colors of the clothes and hairpins did not clash."

Young Madam of the West Courtyard, you are talking about Su Miner.

Su Xuqing raised her eyelids, not even intending to reach out to flip the dress. She walked to the dressing table and sat down. "Very good, since she said she didn't want to have the same color, then bring hers over and let me change into it. Let her keep this one."

The two of them were of similar stature, so their clothes could fit them even if they were to switch.

Qiuyue was obviously in a more difficult situation, "But..."

"No buts." Before Su Xuqing could speak, Shen Xuanheng had already stood up. Although he was weak, he was tall and had a strong sense of oppression just standing there. "If she doesn't want to, let her come over in person and tell her that my uncle has something to say."

Qiuyue had no choice but to agree.

After everyone left, Shen Xuanheng walked behind Su Xuqing and held her shoulders. "What do you want Su Min'er's clothes for? Didn't I ask the tailor to make you a set of clothes to wear today?"

Su Xuqing was combing her hair with a comb, not even looking at the dress Qiuyue had placed on the table in the room. "Husband, why don't you take a look at that dress, take a closer look."

Shen Xuanheng frowned slightly. Although he didn't know how Su Xuqing could conclude that there was something wrong with the clothes without even taking a look at them, he didn't question her. He walked to the table and started to turn over the moon-white clothes.

Sure enough, he saw the clue.

The exquisitely sewn clothes seemed to be loosely stitched under the armpits and would be torn with the slightest movement.

Su Miner sent such clothes to Su Xuqing. Was she trying to cause some noise when Su Xuqing returned home and embarrass her in public?

"How did you know that this dress was inappropriate?" Shen Xuanheng, who was so angry that he had to drink a cup of tea to calm down, looked back at Su Xuqing while holding the dress. He suddenly remembered her dream last night and subconsciously joked, "Is it another dream?"

Su Xuqing paused as she combed her long hair.

It was not a dream, it was a nightmare, a nightmare that she brought from her past life to this life.

Shen Xuanheng was not wrong, but she couldn't tell the truth.

Su Xuqing let out a breath to calm her restless heart, pretending to be relaxed, "No, it's obvious that I was tortured by her a lot in the mansion before, so I know that she has these tricks. Why is my husband so suspicious? Come, help the Ninth Master to wash and dress."

Even though she behaved appropriately enough, Shen Xuanheng still noticed something wrong from her pause.

But if Su Xuqing didn't want to say it, he wouldn't force her.

When the two of them had almost finished washing up, Su Min'er came reluctantly.

She had already changed into a red dress, which fluttered and set off her fair skin and beautiful face, but...

Shen Xuanheng recognized the origin of the dress after just two glances. "It's from the Nishang Pavilion. My niece-in-law is willing to spend money on it, but the style of the dress doesn't seem to be suitable for someone like you who's already married, right?"

Su Xuqing also followed suit after hearing this, "Yes, this dress is supposed to be worn by young ladies. Since my niece-in-law has married and become a woman, she should dress appropriately. You know this too. Look, the dress you sent me is very suitable for my status. Why do you think it is not appropriate when it comes to you?"

The two of them sang in unison, making Su Min'er stiffen her neck and unable to speak for a long time.

In the end, Su Xuqing was the good person and picked up the dress on the table. "How about this, I already have my own clothes, why don't you put on this one, and I'll take it as my acceptance of your kindness."

The look on her face as if she was trying to do something naughty almost made Shen Xuanheng, who was standing beside her, burst out laughing.

After all, Su Min'er was concerned about Shen Xuanheng's presence, so she didn't dare to be too presumptuous. "But this dress was specially given to Aunt Jiu by me as a gift. How can I change into it by myself?"

Su Xuqing smiled brightly and asked Qiuyue to help her. "I am very satisfied that you are so filial. You should change it. Otherwise, people will say that you don't know the rules. That would be even worse, wouldn't it?"

Shen Xuanheng consciously left the room and waited in the yard outside.

Soon, Su Min'er was forced to take off her red dress and put on the clothes she had specially prepared for Su Xuqing.

But his expression was obviously very ugly, and he followed Su Xuqing closely, with his eyes as if he wanted to devour her alive.

Su Xuqing was in a good mood. She took Shen Xuanheng's arm and walked towards the gate of the mansion with him.

Li was waiting at the door with Shen Chejin, complaining from time to time, "She spent three hundred taels on a set of clothes. Even if we are rich, we can't afford such a thing. Now she is still dilly-dallying. What is she doing?"

Shen Chejin was obviously getting impatient, but he still had to deal with it, "Uncle Nine and Aunt Nine called her over. I don't know what she's doing. Wait a little longer."

It’s Shen Xuanheng again!

Li was somewhat dissatisfied, but she did not dare to criticize Shen Xuanheng as loudly as she did Su Min'er. She just muttered a few words, "What tricks is Shen Xuanheng playing again? If it weren't for her, Su Xuqing would be your wife now. She has such a large dowry and is devoted to you. Isn't all the money yours?"

As luck would have it, Shen Xuanheng heard these words.

The man's chuckle made Li's expression change immediately.
