Zhong Muyu leaned against him: "I'm fine, I'm not drunk."

"But you've been lost in thought the whole time. What are you thinking about?"

Lu Ziyuan wasn't stupid; when he arrived, he noticed that Zhong Muyu looked somewhat sad.

"Is it because your closest maid got married that you feel sad?"

"No, I just suddenly felt that our meeting was terrible, the most disastrous wedding in history."

Upon hearing Zhong Muyu's words, Lu Ziyuan also recalled the scene from that time.

It was truly a disaster.

However, this recollection made him think of something different. He had met Zhong Muyu before their marriage, but her personality had changed drastically after she fell into the water.

He wanted to ask Zhong Muyu, but he didn't know how. At this moment, Zhong Muyu, emboldened by the alcohol, began to speak.

“Lu Ziyuan, I have a secret that I think I should tell you.”

What is it?

"I think you must have suspected that my personality changed a lot before and after getting married, right?"

Zhong Muyu looked directly at him. Although she was slightly drunk, her eyes were not glazed.

Lu Ziyuan's heart skipped a beat, and his eyes flickered.

He didn't just start to have doubts; in fact, he had doubts before, but he had simply ignored them.

Seeing his reaction, Zhong Muyu knew she had guessed correctly.

Zhong Muyu looked away: "It's only natural to be suspicious, but I only intend to tell you this secret. It might be beyond your comprehension, so be prepared."

Lu Ziyuan waited there quietly, as if waiting for her to speak.

"I told you before that Zhong Muyu was dead, and that wasn't a lie. Zhong Muyu here is indeed dead, and I am a wandering soul from another world..."

Zhong Muyu told him the truth word by word. Her calm and composed demeanor was completely unlike the ramblings of someone drunk. Her calm words had a convincing power.

After finishing speaking, Zhong Muyu looked at Lu Ziyuan, seemingly waiting for his reaction.

It would be a lie to say she wasn't afraid. They were now a real couple, but as husband and wife, hiding such an important secret was undoubtedly dangerous. She had already covered this up with countless lies, but now she didn't want to deceive Lu Ziyuan anymore.

However, Lu Ziyuan calmly accepted this reality: "So, all the doubts from before have been resolved. Although there are many things you said that I didn't understand, I understand now. Thank you for telling me. And, although you are a reincarnated soul, I love you, that's beyond doubt."

Lu Ziyuan tightened his grip on her hand and moved even closer.

Zhong Muyu smiled helplessly: "What? I thought you would be surprised and find it hard to accept, but you're so calm. You don't think I'm talking nonsense while drunk, do you?"

“If this is drunken ramblings, then everyone else’s drunken ramblings are no better than human speech. I can trust you because you’ve shown me enough extraordinary things in this short time, so adding another one wouldn’t be so strange.”

Zhong Muyu tilted her head slightly and asked on a whim, "Then haven't you ever thought about what kind of terrifying monster I am, here to harm you?"

"Where would you find such a clever and beautiful monster? Besides, there are no monsters in this world."

"Hmm!"

Lu Ziyuan smiled and pulled Zhong Muyu into his arms, but Zhong Muyu's expression froze after hearing those words.

I almost forgot, Lu Ziyuan is also an atheist. Not long ago, she was the same, but then she encountered a real monster, no, a god.

I wonder what Lu Ziyuan will think when he finds out Chi Xuanzhu's true identity.

Another important secret has been unknowingly revealed. What a headache!

Beneath the artificial hill, the lively banquet continued. Chengfeng had been given a lot of wine and was now being escorted by other guards to the bridal chamber to make a ruckus.

Zhong Muyu leaned out and looked down over the railing, and couldn't help but sigh, "It's so nice. I suddenly envy Chengfeng and Zaochun."

Lu Ziyuan asked in confusion, "Isn't it good the way things are?"

"I mean the wedding. I've never experienced a wedding. It was already over when I transmigrated here."

After Zhong Muyu said that, Lu Ziyuan also remembered that Zhong Muyu had arrived after falling into the water and had not experienced it. Moreover, she had entered the mansion with Su Zhirou at the time, and there was a lot of gossip around them, so the wedding was not a good one.

Lu Ziyuan said, "If it weren't for that incident, you wouldn't have come. This is fate."

That makes sense.

Zhong Muyu looked away, and Lu Ziyuan pulled her up: "It's getting windy, let's go back inside, or we'll catch a cold."

Zhong Muyu nodded, but on the way back, Lu Ziyuan's mind was racing.

Perhaps it's time to give Zhong Muyu a proper wedding.

The next morning, Zhong Muyu woke up late. Lu Ziyuan had already left. She stretched and felt her head buzzing.

The hangover and the exploration of her consciousness left her completely exhausted; any rest she took was practically useless.

Even Qiao'er looked surprised: "Your Highness, did you not sleep all night? How come you're so tired?"

"I don't know, maybe I drank too much."

Zhong Muyu lay directly on the dressing table.

"Your Highness, you should be more careful in the future and take care of your health. I'll help you wash up. Sister Zaochun is waiting for you in the front hall; she's been waiting for quite a while."

"Huh? What are you waiting for me for? Didn't I give her a seven-day break?"

"Of course we're offering you tea. You are our master; it's just a matter of courtesy."

"There's such a thing as etiquette..."

Zhong Muyu rubbed her face vigorously, trying to make herself look more energetic.

Upon entering the front hall, I saw Zao Chun dressed as a gentle and graceful woman, looking much more tender and charming than usual.

After serving tea, Zaochun sat down next to Zhong Muyu, who asked her with a smile, "Zaochun, were you happy yesterday?"

"Yes, that was the happiest day of my life."

As she spoke, Zaochun shyly looked away.

Zhong Muyu said, "Seeing you happy makes me happy too. Didn't I give you a seven-day holiday? You can rest well during these seven days and go wherever you want."

"Thank you for your consideration, Your Highness. However, after discussing it with Chengfeng, we feel it would be better for us to stay at the palace and serve Your Highness. Therefore, we will not go out."

"You guys, whatever, you've got the holiday, it's up to you how you spend it."

After saying that, Zhong Muyu yawned again.

I feel like I've never been this sleepy in my life.

Early Spring asked curiously, "Why is Your Highness so sleepy? Didn't you sleep well last night?"

"Hmm? No, no, maybe it's just that the weather lately makes people sleepy. I've been feeling like this for a while now."

Early Spring nodded as if she understood, and it was true that the princess had become more sleepy a few days ago, but it seemed to be even worse today.

After much thought, an idea suddenly flashed through my mind.

"Your Highness, shall we have the royal physician examine you?"
