Having gotten what she wanted to hear, Jiang Yuetong withdrew her gaze from them, then took Lü Jingliang's hand and quickly turned to leave.

"Hmph, what kind of ridiculous joke is this?"

Jiang Yuetong couldn't help but roll her eyes inwardly as she recalled the faces of those two people from earlier.

“If the person being joked with finds it funny, then it’s a joke. His words just now seemed unintentional, but they were actually sarcastic and meant to insult me.”

At this point, Jiang Yuetong snorted coldly again: "When I find the opportunity later, I'll make sure I cripple him!"

Upon hearing this, Lü Jingliang lowered his eyes to look at the fair hand holding his, his deep eyes filled with a smile.

Being protected by his wife seems pretty good.

Even he didn't realize that his usually aloof eyes would always soften with a gentle, watery tenderness when he looked at Jiang Yuetong.

...

Inside the Wangxi Pavilion in Huanhai Prefecture.

Jiang Yuetong, remembering that she still had things to deal with, took a sip of tea as soon as she sat down: "I will send someone to follow you. If those two make any more sarcastic remarks, don't hold back."

Sitting next to her, Lu Jingliang saw that she quickly finished her cup of tea, so he quickly took the teapot and poured her more tea.

Knowing she'd been yelling for so long, she must be incredibly thirsty right now.

A hint of helplessness flashed in Lu Jingliang's eyes, and he said in a deep, gentle voice, "Don't worry, Madam. I've only been poisoned by the cold, not lost my spiritual power. There is no one else in this world who can bully me except you."

Jiang Yuetong: "..."

She looked at Lü Jingliang with a somewhat speechless expression.

Hearing this, it's as if she can bully him.

As if remembering something, Jiang Yuetong's expression became somewhat downcast: "But you've been poisoned by the cold, so you can't easily use your spiritual power."

Lu Jingliang reached out and gently rubbed her head, his deep voice soft as he said, "If you're really worried, then let me stay with you."

After saying that, he added, "I want to stay by your side forever. No matter what you say or do, I won't bother you, okay?"

His tone carried a hint of pleading.

Jiang Yuetong looked up and met his gaze. In the end, she softened and agreed, saying slowly, "I never said I wouldn't let you come along."

Lu Jingliang chuckled softly: "But I once heard from Madam's subordinates that I am an unrelated person who can move freely in Huanhai Prefecture, but cannot get close to you."

As he spoke, Lü Jingliang leaned closer.

"Madam, have you perhaps forgotten?"

Sensing the danger flashing in his dark eyes, Jiang Yuetong couldn't help but lean back.

Her expression remained calm and composed as she explained, "Those were words I spoke before I regained my memories, so they no longer hold true."

Lu Jingliang stared at her intently, remaining silent.

Jiang Yuetong felt uneasy under his gaze, and then stood up and said, "Qingfeng just sent a message that an old friend of Master's will be visiting tomorrow, and I will go to receive him."

Before she could even take a step, her feet left the ground as he swept her up in his arms.

Lu Jingliang spoke slowly in a hoarse voice: "You said it yourself, it's tomorrow. Why are you going there so late at night? Does Madam want to entertain empty air?"

Jiang Yuetong didn't know how to refute it for a moment.

Seeing that he was heading towards the bed, Jiang Yuetong's cheeks flushed slightly. She lowered her head, reached out and pushed him, and whispered, "No, I'm not feeling well."

However, Lu Jingliang ignored her and only raised an eyebrow and smiled after placing her on the bed: "I just wanted Madam to rest early so that she could get up early tomorrow to receive guests. What's going on in this little head of yours?"

As he spoke, he reached out and tapped her forehead.
