The Rong family wanted to keep his guests, so Chen Dong had no choice but to stay at the Rong family. He would return to the county town the day after tomorrow and explain Xiao Yushu's situation to the academy.

He calmly accepted the fact that Xiao Yushu's appearance had changed after being disfigured, and earnestly advised Amu not to be sad and to accept his current appearance. It was just the skin, and what was important was the soul.

The Rong family nodded in agreement, saying, "You're right, absolutely right." They also encouraged Ah Mu to be brave and come out of the disaster.

Late at night, after washing up, the newlyweds were finally able to sit together and talk.

Linlang shook out the peanuts, melon seeds, and longans on the bed and put them on a tray. "You're going to take the imperial examination. You'll probably meet a lot of people who are familiar with Xiao Yushu. You need to be prepared for everything."

"We've survived so many hardships, so we'll be able to handle any additional challenges." Amu stepped forward to help. "I'll be careful and cautious, don't worry."

In the past month, Ah Mu had changed a lot, and Linlang had noticed it all. Furthermore, his inherent calmness gave people an inexplicable sense of security.

"I believe you."

Amu was touched by Linlang's trust and wanted to go up to her and kiss her and hug her, but he was afraid of being too abrupt. Turning around, he saw his shadow on the wall. Amu slowly moved closer and kissed Linlang's shadow on the cheek.

Linlang didn't notice and was still making the bed, so he kissed her again.

When Linlang turned around, he quickly sat up straight and smiled at her.

This person is sitting so straight, he must be nervous.

It was her first time sharing a bed with a man, and Linlang was also nervous. She secretly glanced at Amu and sat on the edge of the bed. "You, you sleep inside."

"Okay." As long as it was Linlang's arrangement, Amu would never object. He took off his clothes, got into the quilt obediently, and fell asleep against the bed frame.

When he saw Linlang taking off her coat, he quickly turned his face away, not daring to look at her any longer.

He felt Linlang get on the bed, throw back the quilt and lie down beside him, and his heart felt like a little deer was beating wildly. His whole body was hot, and it was red from the soles of his feet to his scalp.

"Why are you so close to the bed frame? There's plenty of room here. Sleep closer."

Linlang's words made Amu's heart tremble. There was only one sentence in his mind: Sleep a little, sleep a little.

In his excitement, he moved to the side a little too far, turned over, and was next to Linlang, facing her.

The beauty in front of him was soft and fragrant, and their breaths intertwined. Suddenly, something exploded in Amu's mind, making him feel as if he had drunk some wine and was slightly tipsy.

Linlang saw him staring at her stupidly, his face flushed, and there was a hint of desire in his clean and pure big eyes.

Today is their wedding night, and there should be some blushing and heart-pounding things happening, but...

Linlang touched her flat belly. What happened before happened when they were unconscious. Now they were both awake. It was shameful to let two people who didn't love each other do that kind of thing.

"If you're not used to sleeping in the same bed with someone, we can sleep separately. But you have to wait until Chen Dong leaves. You can just make do with it for two nights."

"It's easy to talk to Dad and my brother. I'm pregnant, but it's still early in the pregnancy. For safety reasons, sleeping separately is the best solution."

After saying that, Linlang looked at Amu and asked what he meant.

Ah Mu hurriedly shook his head, "I'm not unaccustomed to it, it's just the first time, the first time I sleep in the same bed with my wife, I'm a little nervous, but also happy."

"I am very happy to be married to my wife, and I am looking forward to our future life. Don't worry, I will keep my distance and will not hurt the baby. We are husband and wife, and if people knew that we slept in separate beds, they would think we were not getting along."

He knew that Linlang didn't love him yet, so she wouldn't act like a little goblin in front of the boss like the grocery store owner.

He didn't do well enough, he will try harder.

Looking at her with Amu's moist big eyes, she seemed quite aggrieved, and what she said made some sense.

"Then we won't sleep in separate beds." Linlang pretended to yawn. "It's late, and we're tired after a day of trouble. Let's go to sleep."

"good."

Amu really didn't think about fighting the goblin with Linlang tonight. She was pregnant and he didn't dare to touch her easily for fear of hurting the baby.

Looking at her trembling eyelashes, Amu knew that Linlang was not ready to accept him yet. He would wait until the day when Linlang let him live in her heart.

Mustering his courage, Amu kissed Linlang on the forehead, "Good night, my lady."

Linlang only felt a heat on her forehead. The soft touch paused for only a moment and quickly left, but it stirred her heart.

As a courtesy, Linlang didn't kiss him, "Good night, husband."

The two of them were shy for a moment. They were really too tired during the day, and coupled with the surprise of Chen Dong's sudden appearance, they fell asleep quickly. When they woke up, it was already bright outside.

The two went out to wash up. Rong Bowen and Rong Yi had already prepared breakfast. Mo'er was squatting in the yard. Chen Dong was cleaning the yard with a broom. He was really outgoing.

The couple went forward to greet people, and Rong Bowen said, "Why are you up so early? We don't have so many rules in our family."

Linlang looked at the rising sun. Dad wanted them to sleep until noon.

Ah Mu realized what Rong Bowen meant belatedly and blushed.

After breakfast, Linlang and Amu prepared gifts to thank the Song family.

Arriving at the villa, Chun Xing, the head maid, led her to the adjacent wing. "The old lady sent someone to ask Madam to go back. Alas, Madam likes the life here very much. Her health has just improved, but she is being called back by the old lady again."

Every family has its own challenges, and life is not easy for everyone. In Linlang's previous life, she had the good fortune to meet the old lady of the Anchang Marquisate at a banquet. She looked like a difficult person.

Su Jinyao's sarcastic voice came from the flower hall, "Mother is living comfortably here. If she stays a few more days, she'll come and urge us to go. We don't need Mother to take charge of the family, so why is Grandma asking us to go back?"

Going back to set rules for his mother, Su Jinyao defended his mother and spoke very rudely, "I just felt better, and you dogs can't stand it, right?"

Su Jinyao has always felt at ease with his actions, even if it means making indirect accusations.

"Fourth Young Master, look at what you're saying. The old lady is in charge of the household. Isn't she worried about the Marquis's poor health? The Marquis has been living in the villa for almost three months. The weather is no longer hot. Mid-Autumn Festival is coming soon. The lady is indispensable for the exchange of gifts and the banquet."

Su Jinyao scoffed. This was the point. If her mother didn't go back, other mansions would send out invitations, and Gu Yuanfang, as a concubine of the Marquis of Dongping, would have no right to attend. If her mother went back, her grandmother would definitely order her to take Gu Yuanfang to various banquets.

Su Jinyao wanted to say something, but was stopped by Mrs. Song. "It's true that I've been out for several months and I'm back. Madam Wu, please go back and tell the old lady that I will be back in the capital before the Mid-Autumn Festival."

If it were in the past, Song would definitely follow him back to the capital the next day. This time, she resisted a little because of Linlang. She wanted to spend more time with Linlang.
