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

When Lu Yuan came back, dinner had just been served.

"We came back late, so I asked the kitchen to make some food for us," said Shen Sui'an.

There happened to be fresh mutton in the small kitchen, so I cooked two bowls of mutton dumplings. The lamb trotter bamboo shoots that had been stewed in the afternoon were also very tasty, so I also stir-fried two vegetables and some braised beef slices.

"Husband, do you want to drink?" Shen Sui'an felt like having a drink tonight.

"Then I'll have a drink with Sui Sui."

Shen Sui'an took out the wine that he had just warmed.

"Thank you for taking me to the city wall today." Shen Suian poured Lu Yuan a glass of wine.

Lu Yuan: "If you like, I'll take you there when I have time."

The two chatted and drank a pot of wine without realizing it.

Shen Sui'an's alcohol tolerance was average, and he was already a little tipsy.

After they had eaten their fill, Lu Yuan held Shen Sui'an in his arms. They came to the window, where tea was brewing around the stove. The aroma of tea filled the air, creating a rare feeling of comfort.

"Sui Sui, I want to discuss something with you." Lu Yuan said.

Shen Sui'an sat up straight and nodded seriously: "Okay, go ahead."

Lu Yuan chuckled: "You are drunk, I will talk to you tomorrow."

"I'm sober, you can speak." Shen Sui'an blinked, and his clear eyes seemed to be misty at this moment.

"It's not an important matter, there's no need to talk about it today." Lu Yuan hoped that she could think clearly about it. He didn't want to force her if she was even a little unhappy.

Shen Suian weighed Lu Yuan's attitude. Since he said so, it shouldn't be a very important matter.

"Then tell me now, I can think about it slowly."

Lu Yuan let her lean on his chest and patted her shoulder gently with one hand.

"It's about Guan Yue." Lu Yuan said.

Shen Sui'an immediately became more sober. Her cheek rested against his strong and warm chest, and the light in her eyes dimmed.

"After Guan Hai died in the line of duty, Guan's mother believed that his wife had a bad fate and had brought bad luck upon him, so she divorced her on Guan Hai's behalf. Later, Deng gave birth to a daughter, but Guan's mother disliked the fact that she was a daughter and refused to acknowledge her granddaughter."

"I asked Guan Yue to take care of them, but it was inconvenient. Guan Yue said that Deng's daughter was sick..."

Shen Sui'an understood what Lu Yuan meant.

"My husband, do you want me to help Deng's mother and daughter in the future?" Shen Suian asked.

"You are my wife, it is legitimate for you to come forward, and there is no need to worry about affecting the reputation of the Deng family." In this way, Deng's current husband will not have any suspicion.

Shen Sui'an nodded slightly, this was not a difficult task.

"Okay," she agreed.

Lu Yuan chuckled: "I told you first, you can think about it carefully, this matter is all caused by me, it is not your responsibility."

"But I am your wife, and it is normal for me to take care of your benefactor's children for you." Shen Sui'an said.

She knew that what Lu Yuan really wanted to take care of was Guan Hai's daughter.

Lu Yuan hugged her tightly, thinking back to that mission. The reason he was in danger was because his colleague who had always been jealous of him stabbed him in the back, and Guan Hai blocked the knife for him.

Shen Sui'an: "Don't worry, I know what to do."

"If Guan Yue bothers you again next time, send her to the manor." Lu Yuan said.

If he really did this, those outside who disliked Lu Yuan would scold him for being ungrateful and mistreating his benefactor's sister harshly.

"I will visit Mrs. Deng tomorrow." Shen Sui'an smiled.

She wanted to go and see what kind of person this Deng was. There were many kinds of care, some with good intentions and some without.

Lu Yuan fed her tea, "This tea is so sweet."

"This is jujube tea. My husband is not used to drinking it." Shen Sui'an said with a smile.

"It's getting late, Suisui, let's take a rest."

"..." If he hadn't untied her belt, she would have believed that he simply wanted to sleep.

Lu Yuan was particularly fierce tonight.

Shen Sui'an was pinched by his waist, and his whole body became limp and powerless.

The whole body is numb.

She was like a wave, pushed to the highest point by the strong wind. As the tide ebbed and flowed, she climbed up his shoulders and bit him.

Asshole!

……

……

"Princess, your husband probably won't be back tonight, so you should go to bed early." Ziyu persuaded Princess Guangning who was still standing at the door.

Princess Guangning frowned, "Is he busy?"

Ziyu said awkwardly, "Maybe he just happened to be busy. After all, it's almost the New Year and there are many chores to do."

"Then don't let him go to the Ministry of Rites. I will talk to my father in a few days." Princess Guangning was displeased.

Finally I was willing to go back into the house.

"Zi Yu, does my husband like me?" Princess Guangning asked suddenly.

"Princess, you are the most dazzling pearl. No one will dislike you." Zi Yu said with a smile.

Princess Guangning was helped to lie down. She stared at the top of the bed and said in a daze, "I like my husband too. There is no man in the capital as handsome as him."

"The princess and her husband will definitely live happily together." Zi Yu coaxed.

"Today I beat Lu Yan, who is Lu Heng's biological sister. Maybe he knew about it, so he didn't come back." Princess Guangning frowned.

Ziyu: "No, it was the Third Miss who made the mistake. You are right to hit her. Call the Third Miss over tomorrow and talk to her in a friendly manner. She will naturally stop caring."

Princess Guangning was so sleepy that she could hardly open her eyes. "Well, I'll give Lu Heng face and forgive her this time."

Zi Yu waited until Princess Guangning fell asleep before quietly leaving the inner room.

"Are you asleep?" Aunt Duan asked in a low voice.

"The prince consort hasn't come back for two nights. Is the Ministry of Rites really that busy?" Zi Yu asked in a low voice.

Although she did not work in the Ministry of Rites, she had heard that the position of a princess consort was actually an unnecessary job in the Ministry of Rites.

Aunt Duan: "Others may be busy, but the prince consort will definitely not be too busy to leave home. I will go and inquire tomorrow. You should comfort the princess first and don't let her get angry again."

She cried in the palace today and was scolded by Concubine Yao. The princess had never been scolded since she was a child.

You must be very tired.

Lu Heng was even more exhausted physically and mentally.

When he came out of the Ministry of Rites, he had no intention of returning to the Duke's Mansion and was even a little resistant.

Ever since he became a royal consort, his grandfather seemed to be a little colder towards him.

When he went back a few days ago, he saw his grandfather calling Lu Yuan to the study.

He didn't know what they talked about. Was there anything he couldn't know?

Grandfather probably thinks that he has no future, so he plans to use all the resources of the Lu family to support Lu Yuan.

Lu Yuan must be secretly delighted that a bastard who had never been valued since childhood was suddenly valued by the head of the family.

Lu Yuan stole the glory from him, he is a shameful thief.

He remembered that his parents were very loving when he was a child, but it was because of Lu Yuan's appearance that his mother became estranged from his father.

Lu Heng had mixed feelings in his heart, and he couldn't tell what he was feeling at the moment.

If it weren't for Princess Shang, none of this would have happened.

His whole life was ruined by Shen Sui'an.

"My dear, are we going back to the Duke's Mansion?" Liu Mo asked cautiously.

Lu Heng closed his eyes: "Let's go to the pleasure boat."

He wanted to drink a few glasses quietly to calm his unwilling mood.
