Aunt Wang nodded at him, then looked at Yang Mu'an and said, "In that case, I won't disturb your rest any longer. Madam, just come find me when you wake up tomorrow."

Yang Mu'an nodded without saying anything.

Wang Sao didn't say anything more. She turned around, went out, and closed the door behind her and the two of them.

Yang Mu'an glanced at the two people, then at Sang Yun, and frowned before asking, "How are we supposed to sleep here?"

Sang Yun looked at the bed and was speechless for a moment.

If he were to tell Hei Lao Er now that he and Yang Mu'an were not husband and wife, it would probably arouse his suspicion. But since they were husband and wife, they certainly couldn't sleep separately.

He glanced at Yang Mu'an and sighed, "You go to sleep, I'll just sit and rest for a bit."

Yang Mu'an looked at him, pursed his lips, hesitated for a moment, and then slowly walked towards the bedside.

She lay down on the bed fully clothed and looked at Sang Yun, who was sitting with her eyes closed, feeling a little guilty.

She opened her mouth as if to say something, but then felt that anything she said would be superfluous.

She gradually fell asleep.

The next morning, she was woken up early by the noise outside. Sang Yun was no longer there. She didn't know when he had left, so she slowly sat up and walked outside.

As soon as she went out, she saw Sister Wang in the crowd. Sister Wang was holding a brocade with a pair of shoe soles embroidered on it and chatting with several ladies next to her. When she saw her come out, she immediately smiled and beckoned her over.

Yang Mu'an pursed her lips and walked over to the group: "Sister-in-law Wang."

Aunt Wang smiled and replied, "Hey, you're awake. Are you hungry? I'll go get you some breakfast."

As she spoke, Aunt Wang put down the shoe sole she was holding and went to the kitchen next door to bring her a bowl of porridge and a plate of pickled vegetables, with a steamed bun on top of the pickled vegetables.

Yang Mu'an thanked him and picked up the steamed bun to eat.

Seeing that she didn't have any of the spoiled airs of a young lady, Wang's liking for her increased considerably.

After finishing her meal, she took the dishes directly to the kitchen to wash them.

Wang's wife glanced at her but didn't say anything.

When she came out again, she looked at Wang Sao with a smile and asked, "Wang Sao, where did Liu Yun go?"

"Liu Yun?" Sister Wang seemed taken aback when she heard Liu Yun, then smiled and said, "Oh, you mean your husband? He got up early and went to patrol the mountain with the second-in-command. He should be back soon."

The other women couldn't help but laugh and tease her after hearing her words: "You and your husband are so loving. You've only been apart for a short time and you're already missing each other."

As soon as she finished speaking, another woman stopped embroidering and said with a smile, "Isn't that right? My husband is always missing something or something every morning, as if he's afraid you'll sleep in a little longer."

"Yes, oh, by the way, what's your name?" another woman asked, looking up at her while washing clothes.

This was the first time Yang Mu'an had been surrounded by people asking questions like this, and he was a little uncomfortable for a moment.

She chuckled twice, then said stiffly, "I am Mu An."

"Mu An? That's a beautiful name." The woman washing clothes was Er Ya's mother. She smiled and continued, "Your name is so lovely, Mu An. Can you tell us why your husband treats you so well?"

Yang Mu'an: ...

What is she supposed to say?

How did she know?

Are you suggesting she and Sang Yun weren't even husband and wife? Wouldn't that completely ruin things?

She chuckled and pinched her earlobe, then lowered her head awkwardly, stammering, "It's nothing really..."
