When Shura returned, he reeked of alcohol and didn't dare go straight to bed. Instead, he went to the bathroom to take a shower first.

"My lord, I will serve you your bath."

A beautiful maidservant entered, blushing.

These maids were all recently transferred by Xiu's mother. You should know that Xiu Luo didn't have the habit of using maids before.

He lived in the front courtyard, surrounded by servants, but not a single maid.

But Qifei can't come without any maids, right? So Xiumu transferred some over so that Qifei could have some.

The maids rarely saw Shura. Although Shura looked cold, he was handsome.

Besides, what man doesn't stray? The beautiful maid saw that Qi Fei went to sleep as soon as she returned, and she thought this was a good opportunity.

If she could make love with Shura on her wedding night, that would be a slap in the face to Qifei.

These maids were secretly quite resentful of this sudden appearance.

There are no secrets that stay hidden forever. The fact that Qifei was a widow was not kept secret, and many people knew about it.

The maids naturally found out as well.

The thought that the wise and mighty Shura had married a widow made them feel disgusted.

It would be better to marry these maids; at least they are still virgins.

Before Qifei arrived, the maids all had their own little schemes.

It's impossible for a man not to care about a woman's past.

He had designs on a young maid.

Shura slowly opened his eyes and looked at the maid who had offered herself to him.

The maid lowered her head slightly, but enough to allow Shura to see her appearance.

She was very confident in her appearance, and today she deliberately wore clothes that accentuated her figure, making her look very charming and lovely.

"Someone come here," Shura said calmly.

Someone immediately came in, and was very surprised to see the maid. Before Xiu Luo could even speak, they covered her mouth and dragged her out.

Shura put on his robe and stepped out of the room.

In order not to disturb Qifei's sleep, he deliberately closed the door.

"Hit him." Shura's face was icy cold, and the chill emanating from him made the maids beside him afraid to even breathe.

The maid, whose mouth and nose were covered, looked at Shura in disbelief.

She never imagined that she would be beaten up just for trying to help Shura take a bath.

She struggled and whimpered a few times, but she couldn't break free from the man's control behind her.

"I'll only say this once today: from now on, no one is allowed to enter this house without my and my wife's orders."

"Where I am, I do not need any maids to serve me. If I find out that any of you are using your names to approach me, it will not be as simple as it is today."

After Shura finished speaking, he went into the house, and someone outside naturally put a board on him.

Because her mouth was stuffed with something, the maid couldn't make a sound and could only sob.

The other maids standing there trembled with fear, instantly suppressing their own thoughts.

Compared to gaining power, life is more important. Seeing that maid being beaten bloody and mangled, and this is just a simple punishment in the adults' mouths, will the next step be to take her life directly?

Shura entered the house and breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that Qifei had not been woken up.

She's pregnant now, and she can't fall back asleep if she's woken up, so he's always been quite attentive to this.

When Qifei woke up the next morning, she felt that the maid's eyes were full of grievance.

She looked at Shura with a puzzled expression, feeling that these maids were not the same as yesterday.

She understood the contempt in those people's eyes yesterday, but she couldn't be bothered to care. Besides, she was only staying here for three days, not three.

She wasn't her maid, and she didn't want to train her.

"Don't worry, you're in charge here, no one will dare to bully you." Xiu Luo smiled at Qi Fei, took her hand, and the two headed towards Old Madam Xiu.

Today is the day for the newlyweds to serve tea, and all the relatives of the Xiu family have come early to wait for the two newlyweds.

The Xiu family doesn't actually have many members in the main branch, but they have many relatives in the collateral branches.

They were quite surprised by how quickly things progressed from hearing about the emperor's bestowal of a marriage to the actual wedding.

But they couldn't find out what they were trying to find out.

Shura and Qifei arrived leisurely, and everyone waiting inside stared intently at them.

Most of the attention was focused on Qifei.

Unfortunately, many people were seeing the bride for the first time. Qifei was wearing a floral and cloud-patterned dress made of red and gold thread, which swayed beautifully as she moved.

Everyone held their breath. Qi Fei had a smile on her lips; no one could say she wasn't pretty.

The two entered the house and first served tea to Madam Xiu.

Madam Xiu accepted the tea and presented it as a greeting gift before the two of them served tea to the others according to their seniority.

Shura actually holds a relatively high position in the Xiu family. He was born to the late-life matriarch of the Xiu family, and his older brothers are all much older than him.

The other three aunts and eight cousins ​​all depend on Xiujia for their livelihood, so naturally they wouldn't dare say anything discouraging.

Everyone greeted them with smiles and offered their blessings, and Qifei, being quite considerate, prepared a return gift.

Shura prepared all the items; her job was simply to take them out and give them to them.

Knowing that Qifei was pregnant, Madam Xiu was worried that she might be too tired these past few days, so after the family reunion, she urged the two of them to go back and rest.

"Then I'll come back to talk to Mother later." Qi Fei did not refuse Madam Xiu's kindness. She bowed to Madam Xiu generously and left with Xiu Luo.

Some members of the collateral branches, having finally seized the opportunity, naturally wouldn't give up trying to get close to Madam Xiu, and all stayed to talk.

Qifei slowly followed Shura back to his courtyard. "How many days off can you take?"

Current government officials do have marriage leave, but it's not long.

"Three days." Shura grasped Qifei's hand, gently stroking her small hand in his.

"So, after three days, when you go back from your office, it will be like going back to our own home?"

Shura nodded; he liked it when Qifei said it was their own home.

No matter where they are, just like in countless worlds, in the end, it all refers to themselves.

Every world has its own home.

Shura stayed home and didn't go anywhere, spending three days with Qifei.

Because of Qifei's special circumstances, there was no such thing as returning to her parents' home after marriage.

After three days of staying at the Xiu residence, the two went to their own residence without saying a word.

Qifei and Xiuluo discussed it and decided not to buy a large courtyard.

The emperor had previously wanted to bestow a courtyard upon Shura, but Shura refused.

He still had enough money to buy a house, but he had the emperor bestow a lot of furniture upon him so that he wouldn't have to make any more.

Unfortunately, furniture is a real headache at this time. If you want to order custom-made furniture, you don't know when it will be ready.

The emperor shook his head at Shura's idea, but still waved his hand and bought all the furniture in the two people's courtyard.

Anyway, the craftsmen of the Imperial Household Department have plenty of skills, and the things they make are both beautiful and practical.
