If I were born again, I would marry a strong but short-lived husband.

Shen Sui'an has been sleeping uneasily recently, and he had nightmares several times, which woke Lu Yuan up.

She was very embarrassed.

Lu Yuan has been very busy recently. The Lantern Festival is in two days. There will be a huge crowd of people there, and it is inevitable that there will be people who take advantage of the situation. At that time, the emperor will also bring Concubine Yao to the Lantern Tower to entertain the people.

As the commander of the Pacification Division, he had to coordinate and cooperate with the Five Cities Military Division to ensure that everything went smoothly that day.

The emperor and other nobles must not be allowed to encounter any danger.

So he was very tired and couldn't sleep well at night.

"Husband, why don't you go to the study room first and wait until after the Lantern Festival." Shen Suian said in a low voice. She really couldn't bear to let him not even have a good sleep.

Lu Yuan held her in his arms, "What did you dream about?"

Shen Sui'an couldn't say that she dreamed of Feng Chunhua being tortured to the point of being inhuman. She was afraid that even if she could do it all over again, she would still not be able to reverse the situation.

"I dreamed that during the Lantern Festival, there were refugees causing chaos." Shen Suian put her face against his chest, listening to his steady and strong heartbeat, and felt that her heart seemed to calm down as well.

"The Five Cities Army has been patrolling the city these days to check out any suspicious people. Don't worry, there won't be any refugees sneaking in during the Lantern Festival," said Lu Yuan.

Of course there are no real refugees, but we are afraid of those who are pretending.

"Sui Sui, your premonitions are always accurate. Did you dream about something bad again this time?" Lu Yuan asked in a low voice.

"Well, this dream is related to the Zhennan Palace." Shen Sui'an said, "It seems that someone wants to kidnap the second son of the Zhennan Prince."

Lu Yuan's expression froze. He held her shoulders and asked seriously, "What's going on?"

Shen Sui'an frowned, "I can't explain it clearly. It's just a dream, so don't take it seriously if you tell others about it."

"When the time comes, I will leave Shi Qing and Yu Bai to you, and then arrange a team of Ti cavalry from the Zhenfu Division to guard you secretly." Lu Yuan said in a deep voice.

"Will the people you give me be able to obey my orders when the time comes?" Shen Sui'an asked.

"Sure." Lu Yuan answered affirmatively.

Shen Sui'an seemed to have found a backbone now. She couldn't be unprepared. Although she was somewhat confident, she would feel more at ease if Lu Yuan's people were by her side to follow her orders.

Finally I can sleep peacefully.

Lu Yuan still went out at dawn. Shen Suian didn't sleep well last night, so he slept half an hour longer today.

When I woke up, the sun was already high in the sky.

The weather was nice today, and Mrs. Lu San asked her to go to the garden to enjoy the flowers.

Last time, she gave Nuanniang's name to Mrs. Lu San, but she had never heard of this person. She only said that she would ask someone to check, but she didn't know whether any results were found.

The Lu family's garden has just been replaced with a batch of fresh flowers. The weather is beginning to warm up, and many flowers are about to bloom, adding a bit of spring color to the garden.

Shen Sui'an placed the prepared cakes in the pavilion. She was about to sit down and wait for Mrs. Lu San, but unexpectedly she saw an unlucky figure first.

Lu Heng's tall, jade-like figure walked towards him from the other end of the garden. Shen Suian really wanted to pretend not to see him.

"Don't you feel ashamed at all for using Guangning to gain the appreciation of Concubine Yao?" Lu Heng looked at Shen Suian with contempt.

"..." Shen Sui'an glanced at him calmly, "What's wrong, is Second Master Lu jealous? You took advantage of His Highness but didn't get the Imperial Concubine's appreciation?"

Lu Heng's face changed slightly and he looked at Shen Sui'an in disbelief.

"You weren't so shameless before. After marrying Lu Yuan, have you given up?"

In his impression, Shen Sui'an was well-educated, well-mannered, and her every word and action were a model of a lady from a noble family. She always spoke to him in a gentle and soft manner, unlike now when she was full of thorns.

"If it's because of me that you're changing, you don't have to. I won't feel guilty about it. This is all your own fault."

Shen Sui'an looked at the self-righteous Lu Heng in front of him and felt that he was really hateful at the moment.

"Lu Heng, you and I are now uncle and sister-in-law. When I married Lu Yuan, I had no relationship with you. It's really disgusting that you keep holding on to the past."

Lu Heng didn't believe that Shen Sui'an could just let it go, and thought she was just putting on a forced smile.

"If you don't care, why are you willing to agree to Concubine Yao's teaching Guangning, you..."

Shen Sui'an was impatient, "Of course it's because I want to curry favor with Concubine Yao, Second Young Master, what you said to me is beyond the scope of your status. I thought I made it very clear last time."

"Lu Yuan is a good man. I'm glad I married him. I don't have any attachment to the past!"

"If the jade pendant given to me by Imperial Concubine Yao makes you so uncomfortable, then just bear with it. I will not return it to the Imperial Concubine on my own initiative. By the way, you and Princess Guangning are now living in harmony. The Imperial Concubine thinks that I have done a great job in disciplining Princess Guangning, and she has rewarded me with many things."

It's so annoying! Does Lu Heng really think that all women should never forget him? Every time they meet, he always looks at her with this look of "I know you can't forget me".

Unlucky! Disgusting!

Lu Heng's face turned pale and blue, and his eyes became colder as he looked at Shen Sui'an.

"You are really shameless!" Lu Heng said angrily.

"Not as shameless as you." Shen Suian smiled slightly.

Lu Heng was so angry that his handsome face was almost twisted. "Shen Sui'an, if you still have any conscience, you shouldn't use the jade pendant to threaten Guangning. When the imperial concubine finds out that you are deceiving the emperor, if you implicate the Lu family, you will bear the consequences yourself."

"So you can only say harsh words? It's really useless. How could the princess fall in love with you, just because of your appearance? No wonder... It's not easy to seduce someone with your beauty. I have a rouge shop, and there is a kind of ointment that can keep your skin young. Second Young Master, if you need it, I can sell it to you at a lower price." Shen Sui'an looked suddenly enlightened.

"Men should also take care of themselves, otherwise they will age and lose their looks. There will always be younger young men appearing."

When you insult someone, you have to hit their sore spot.

Shen Sui'an really hit the pain point that Lu Heng was most unwilling to face.

Princess Guangning loved his face, so she kept two concubines who looked like him.

Lu Heng was finally angry and left.

Ban Jian beside him breathed a sigh of relief, "Miss, you are really brave to scold me. I was so afraid that the Second Young Master would take action."

"Hehe, he'd better have the courage." Shen Suian sneered.

"I didn't realize that our eldest young lady enjoys scolding people so much." Ruan walked over from the side and looked at Shen Sui'an with a smile.

Shen Sui'an stood up quickly, "Third Aunt, I'm sorry to have embarrassed you."

Ruan looked at the direction where Lu Heng left with a speechless look, "I heard that the second son of the Lu family was as beautiful as a stream in the mountains and as bright as the moon in the sky. Today I was really enlightened. He is so hesitant and has no manliness at all."

"How could you resist not slapping him to death?"

Shen Sui'an took a deep breath and said, "I may not be able to win. It would be embarrassing if I lose."

Ruan laughed, "It's okay, just practice more and it will be fine."
