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

The maid quickly prepared the meal, and Lu Yuan naturally took Shen Sui'an's hand and sat down.

"Do you feel comfortable today?" Lu Yuan asked her in a low voice.

"Well, Aunt Guan and Aunt Lin both came to pay their respects today." Shen Sui'an said as he looked up at him.

Both concubines have their own characteristics, and I don’t know which one he likes more.

Lu Yuan simply nodded and said, "If there are any disobedient people below, you can just deal with them."

"I see that there are quite a few maids serving in the courtyard. I heard from Madam Zhou that several of them were recently arranged in." Shen Sui'an said.

It was obvious that someone had deliberately planted this person here. She didn't know whether Lu Yuan knew about it, but since she was going to live here in the future, she definitely didn't want to be monitored every day for everything she said and did.

She wants to clear these people out.

Lu Yuan's eyes darkened slightly. "I usually lived in the Zhenfu Division before and rarely came back to live here. Tomorrow I will ask Aunt Lan to give you the list, and you can handle the people on it."

"The rest of the staff were originally from Tanboyuan."

"That's great." She was afraid that she might accidentally touch someone of his, so it would be best if she had a list of names.

Lu Yuan said, "Madame Zhou has only come to help for a few days recently. She will have to go back after you get familiar with the place."

Shen Sui'an already knew about this. There was no one in the Lu family to arrange his marriage, so he had to ask the old prince to send someone to help.

"it is good."

After the two finished talking, they suddenly fell into silence. Shen Sui'an had slept for most of the day and didn't even have lunch. He was really hungry now.

She was so focused on eating that she didn't notice that the man opposite her had put down his chopsticks and was looking at her with interest.

I ate two bowls of rice and drank a bowl of soup.

Shen Sui'an finally felt alive again and put down his chopsticks with satisfaction.

When I raised my eyes, I fell into a pair of deep, dark eyes.

"..." Shen Suian's cheeks burned.

"My husband is embarrassed by my eating habits." Shen Sui'an said awkwardly.

Lu Yuan said: "Madam, you are eating very happily. Just looking at you makes me hungry."

Haha, this doesn’t seem to be a compliment.

"Did the Duke look for you because of today's tea ceremony?" Shen Sui'an asked for the sake of conversation.

"No, your family may try to find out about things outside from you in the future. If you don't want to tell, just say you don't know." Lu Yuan said.

Shen Sui'an immediately understood what he meant.

Duke Lu secretly supported the legitimate fifth prince, but now, because of the emperor's arranged marriage, he and the second prince were invisibly brought into the same party.

From the perspective of outsiders, the Lu family should now belong to the second prince.

Shen Sui'an also knew that Duke Lu had never thought of supporting the Second Prince, and he firmly chose the Fifth Prince.

Because the Second Prince now has too many supporters around him, what he wants is the unique opportunity to serve the emperor.

"I've got that." Shen Sui'an nodded.

She remembered that Duke Lu didn't think much of Lu Yuan before, but now that Lu Heng has lost the chance to enter the cabinet and become a prime minister, he has noticed that he has a grandson with a promising future.

"What did you want to ask just now?" Lu Yuan asked.

Shen Suian pursed her lips. She actually wanted to ask about the Qu family.

But it was only the second day of their marriage, and she didn't think he would tell her the truth.

Lu Yuan was not in a hurry and waited patiently for her to speak.

"About the last incident at the Qu family, Lier... I mean Miss Qu feels very sorry for you, so let me tell you something." Shen Sui'an said in a low voice.

"The emperor's punishment for me to reflect on myself has nothing to do with the Qu family." Lu Yuan said, "Why were you at the Qu family that day?"

"Li'er was not feeling well that day, so I went to visit her." Shen Sui'an looked at him and said, "My husband, who is that fugitive? Will this matter implicate the Qu family in the future?"

Lu Yuan narrowed his eyes slightly, "How could an ordinary fugitive bring trouble to the Qu family?"

The fugitive captured that day is still in the Pacification Office, and his true identity has not been announced yet. However, his young wife seemed to know the man's identity from her words.

"If he was an ordinary fugitive, why would they alarm the commander and so many thousand households to go to the Qu family in person to arrest him? So I guess the fugitive is not an ordinary thief." Shen Sui'an said in a low voice.

Lu Yuan's eyes flickered slightly. This little girl was so alert.

"No matter how extraordinary it is, the Qu family actively cooperated and handed over the relatives who had contact with the fugitive to the Pacification Office. As long as they did not participate in what the fugitive did, it has nothing to do with the Qu family." Lu Yuan said slowly.

Shen Sui'an was afraid that the Qu family would be framed and implicated.

However, it is useless to say anything now. She has reminded everyone that should be reminded. She believes that Madam Qu will definitely lead the Qu family through the crisis this time.

Seeing that his wife lowered her eyes, she seemed to be in deep thought.

He did not interrupt. As for the fugitive captured in Qu's family, the identity of the fugitive could not be announced at this time. The Pacification Division still wanted to use this person to catch other spies in the capital.

"Master, Madam, there is a girl named Hongxiu outside who said she has an important letter to give to Master." Mu Jin reported with lowered eyebrows.

"I want to bring the letter in. Miss Hongxiu said that the young master's things cannot pass through other people's hands."

Shen Suian looked at Lu Yuan in surprise.

"Then..."

Lu Yuan said calmly, "Let her in."

Mu Jin looked at Shen Sui'an, and only after Shen Sui'an nodded imperceptibly did she agree to leave.

The atmosphere in the room suddenly became tense.

Shen Sui'an put down the bowl of soup, "My husband, are you full?"

"Let someone come in and take it away." Lu Yuan said.

At this time, a young maid in a pink short jacket came in behind Mu Jin.

She was Hongxiu, about seventeen or eighteen years old, with a shrewd look in her eyes, fair skin and a graceful figure. Although she was not very pretty, she was still pretty in a unique way.

Hongxiu's willow-leaf eyes glanced at Shen Sui'an.

The fingers holding the letter unconsciously exerted force, and the knuckles turned slightly white.

The eldest young lady is so stunningly beautiful!

Even Aunt Lin, that vixen, can't compare to her.

No wonder the first thing the eldest young master did when he came back today was to look for the eldest young mistress, and he hadn’t even been to the study room in front.

"Greetings, Young Master and Young Madam." Hongxiu lowered her head, a bitter taste of grievance rising in her throat.

"What's so urgent?" Lu Yuan asked in a calm voice.

Hong Xiu held up the letter in her hands with both hands, "Master, it was sent by the Pacification Bureau."

Lu Yuan did not reach out to take it, but glanced at Mu Jin.

"If you want to send letters to the main courtyard in the future, you should abide by the rules of the young lady." Lu Yuan's voice was low and indifferent.

Hong Xiu was stunned and looked at Lu Yuan in surprise, "Master?"

"There is nothing of mine that cannot pass through the hands of the young lady." Lu Yuan said coldly.

"...Yes." A blush appeared at the corners of Hongxiu's eyes, and she handed the letter to Mujin with stiff hands.

Mu Jin pressed her lips and handed the letter to Lu Yuan.

Lu Yuan didn't even look at it, "Go down."

From beginning to end, Shen Sui'an didn't say a word.

Hongxiu felt her cheeks getting hot and she was too embarrassed to look up to see anyone.

"I'll take my leave." Hongxiu suppressed the sobs in her throat, lowered her head and walked out.
