His composure only existed when Jiang Tian wasn't around; once he encountered her, he didn't know where to put his hands.

Jiang Tian smiled at him and said, "It seems you haven't slacked off on your workouts lately. Your muscles look pretty good."

Xiao Linghan was shy by nature and had always been somewhat conservative. When he heard Jiang Tian directly praise his muscles, his earlobes turned as red as if they were dripping blood.

"Look at you, why are you so shy? You know perfectly well why I brought you here. You should understand that protecting your male beauty is of utmost importance. I've praised you, you should be happy."

After a long pause, Xiao Linghan nodded.

Whether he is happy or not depends entirely on Jiang Tian's decision.

He was happy as long as Jiang Tian was happy.

Jiang Tian glanced at his muscular chest again, a satisfied smile appearing on her face.

"This period of time is a test for you. If you can't even stand half a month of loneliness and insist on causing some trouble, then I have misjudged you and I must cut my losses in time."

"Now it seems you are indeed quite clever, very good."

When Jiang Tian praised him, Xiao Linghan couldn't think of anything to say in response.

Having been used to being a marquis, he was usually addressed with respectful language by others. Now, with Jiang Tian speaking in a serious tone and making flippant remarks, he found it somewhat difficult to accept.

"I know you're not good with words, but I won't return the goods because of this. I'll come to your place tonight, so you can pack up and get ready."

After Jiang Tian finished speaking, she gave him a bright smile and left quickly.

Xiao Linghan's mind went blank.

He heard what Jiang Tian said; she was coming over tonight.

What preparations should he make?

He didn't have to wait long before Jiang Tian's capable subordinate arrived with his men.

Jiang Tian treated the servants well, so the servants naturally reciprocated with their devotion to her.

She brought Xiao Linghan back, and everyone knew of Xiao Linghan's usefulness, so they naturally took good care of him. However, a considerable number of the guards were still not convinced.

They felt that they were no worse than Xiao Linghan.

That pretty boy, besides being good-looking, what's so great about him?

They wouldn't dare say such things to Jiang Tian, ​​but they could still secretly oppose Xiao Linghan.

This time, Xiao Linghan vaguely sensed a warning.

The people serving him were impeccable in every detail, but their cold gazes constantly reminded him that he was not worthy of Jiang Tian at all.

After being thoroughly washed, Xiao Linghan was even asked to apply some kind of ointment.

He agreed to all of them, because he was under someone else's roof.

After finally finishing all these tasks, it was already evening.

Jiang Tian ate dinner in her own courtyard that night, not with Xiao Linghan.

After they finished eating, the food was cleared away, and Xiao Linghan was ordered to wait there.

He waited from sunset until the moon was high in the sky, and finally Jiang Tian arrived.

Jiang Tian seemed more at ease and carefree than when she was seen in the capital.

After all, this is her real home, so she can come and go as she pleases.

"Greetings...Greetings, Madam."

Jiang Tian laughed: "Isn't it a bit inappropriate for you to call me 'Madam'?"

Xiao Linghan was speechless for a moment; he had no idea how to address Jiang Tian.

Although the two are ten years apart in age, Jiang Tian's face doesn't show her age at all.

If we're really talking about seniority, then he really should call her aunt...
