Shen Su was at a loss: "I...didn't mean to."

However, at this moment, Shen Su felt apologetic and a little guilty.

Leng Qingning carefully avoided the wound and helped Chi Yan wipe away the tea stains.

Chi Yan took Leng Qingning's hand, his expression was not good, but his tone was gentle: "Ning'er, I'm fine."

It shouldn't be disfiguring, just the saliva is a bit disgusting.

Cang Yuan chuckled inappropriately, his eyes filled with schadenfreude.

Chi Yan withdrew his gaze, pretending not to have seen it.

Wen Yanche: "..."

What can I say about this?

Yuanshan carefully brought over a basin of warm water, knowing that his master was clean and couldn't stand other people's saliva.

Leng Qingning helped Chi Yan clean and apply medicine.

Seeing Leng Qingning gently applying ointment to Chi Yan, Shen Su wanted to say: This lord is in pain too!

The servants in the hall marveled at the fact that Young Master Chi hadn't jumped up and knocked the young lord down! How strange!

Jin Yan, who rarely gets a half-day off, watched this scene with focused attention.

Chi Yan seemed more agreeable than before, and his behavior was no longer arrogant and domineering.

"Your Highness, I apologize." After thinking for a moment, Shen Su said to Chi Yan, "I apologize, Young Master Chi, the tea was too hot. I didn't mean it."

Chi Yan's anger had been suppressed by the thoughtfulness of the person beside him, and he replied calmly, "I understand."

This little incident was quickly glossed over.

Langya Mansion never mistreats its servants. Newly arrived young servants are inevitably clumsy and prone to making mistakes. For minor issues like tea being the wrong temperature, a small fine of a month's wages is usually enough to get by.

Leng Qingning returned to her seat and instructed Fu Guang to "punish" the new servant girl properly, as a demonstration for Shen Su.

Lingze served tea to Chen Su again.

After hesitating for a while, Shen Su finally spoke up: "Your Highness, I have something to discuss with you privately."

Leng Qingning put down the documents and saw that his eyes were clear as if he had something important to say, so she pointed and said, "Young Master Shen, please."

After the two left, the husbands' expressions were knowing. Lu Shiyi chuckled, "Someone couldn't hold back any longer."

Lin Xianzhi: "Brother Shiyi, are you sure?"

Cang Yuan looked relaxed and gave a lazy smile: "Isn't it obvious? Young Master Shen has been with Dayue for over a year, and he's almost twenty now."

It would be strange if they weren't anxious.

Cang Yuan's relaxed demeanor was thanks to Shen Su's sip of tea; he originally had no problem with Shen Su.

At this moment, Shen Su makes Chi Yan unhappy, and that makes him happy.

Think about it, over the years, I've never had a single fight with Chi Yan. Even just a small sip of tea makes me feel extremely comfortable.

Cool! ! !

Cang Yuan curled his lips into a wider smile, blatantly mocking his wife in front of all the other men.

Chi Yan snorted lightly, "A defeated opponent!" She rolled her eyes and turned away, ignoring him.

Meng Xu and Gu Nanshu exchanged a glance, and Meng Xu even raised his eyebrows smugly.

Gu Nanshu: "…………"

There's no need to laugh at him!

After a moment, the husbands were engrossed in their books, and Chi Yan got up and walked outside.

Under the tree, Leng Qingning and Chen Su were talking.

Shen Su appeared slightly nervous, but her tone was sincere: "Your Highness, I wish to marry you and promise to grow old with you for three lifetimes. I hope you will grant my request."

"I have long admired Your Highness and wish to marry you. I wonder if Your Highness would be willing?"

Leng Qingning smiled, her lips curving into a beautiful arc, and said, "I do."

Shen Su's thoughts were already clear, so there was no need to worry. Over the past year, Shen Su had frequently visited the mansion, and the feelings that needed to be cultivated had been almost fully developed.

Leng Qingning has gradually come to regard him as one of her own.

"However, I am about to go to war. Will you wait for my return, young lord?"

Shen Su readily agreed, "Of course, I will wait for you to return safely in Yue Kingdom."

"Alright, when I return in triumph, we will get married. I will welcome you into my household as my concubine. I hope you will take good care of yourself."

Shen Su replied in a gentle voice, "Your Highness, you must take good care of yourself on this trip. Also, I hope Your Highness will successfully subdue Qi Huai and return victorious."

As soon as the word "hmm" was uttered, Shen Su gently lifted the veil.

Leng Qingning was stunned. So this was the face hidden under the veil!

Her skin was as smooth and delicate as a baby's, milky white, which complemented her long, white hair, highlighting her ethereal and otherworldly气质 (qi zhi - a kind of refined and elegant demeanor). She had a perfectly curved, straight nose with a delicate and elegant bridge, and thin, cherry-red lips that made one want to kiss her.

Her smiling expression was as dazzling as a diamond, and her eyes seemed to be filled with countless stars.

Absolutely stunning!

Her eyes lit up with amazement, her gaze lingering on Shen Su's face, her initial affection for him now becoming even more tangible.

After a brief moment of distraction, she gently asked him, "Didn't you say that the veil could only be removed during the wedding of the Holy Son of Li Kingdom?"

Shen Su parted her lips slightly: "I want you to remember my face, so that you may occasionally think of me after you go to war."

Leng Qingning nodded haphazardly: "I'll remember."

Such beauty is unforgettable!

"Xiao Ning, may I call you that?"

“My sister’s name is Xiao Ning,” Leng Qingning reminded her.

"Oh right, I almost forgot, but the characters are different, is that okay?"

She nodded. "Whatever makes you happy! You can call me Xiao Ningzi if you want."

"Hehe, okay."

Amidst the flowers, Chi Yan gazed intently into the distance, his eyes piercing through the gaps in the petals and leaves to look directly at Chen Su.

Gradually becoming dazed, another peerless beauty appeared.

His gaze shifted to the person beside him: "Three lifetimes of growing old together... Ning'er, are you still willing to be true to me, even if... only for one lifetime?"

Chi Yan averted his gaze, turned away dejectedly, and quietly left...

Last day

Wen Yanche helped his wife pack her things.

They packed all sorts of medicines, clothing, books, and so on into the vehicles, filling more than a dozen cars. They brought everything they could use and everything they didn't.

Leng Qingning was both amused and exasperated. Was this a vacation or a war?

After packing her things, Leng Qingning bid a final farewell to her husbands.

"My lady, you must return safely." Meng Xu couldn't help but shed tears.

"I'll wait for you, my husband." Gu Nanshu's eyes were filled with tears.

Lin Xianzhi's eyes were red, and she turned away to secretly wipe her tears.

Suppressing his grief, Lu Shiyi asked her, "My lady, would you like to serve me?"

He wasn't sure if his wife would miss him the way she missed her other husbands. (Important point)

Leng Qingning smiled and walked over to hug him, nestling into his arms and gently coaxing, "Shi Yi, of course I'll miss you, believe me."

“And you all,” Leng Qingning said to everyone.

Wen Yanche smiled faintly, gazing at her gently, his deep affection evident in his eyes, needing no further words.

Chi Yan's eyes were exceptionally intense, revealing a hint of longing for care amidst his reluctance.

Leng Qingning naturally saw it and walked up to him unhurriedly. "Ayan, take care! Take good care of yourself."

That's all.

There were two more Xiujuns. Leng Qingning then approached them and smiled, her gaze towards them exceptionally gentle.

"Xiao Ke and Xiao Zhi, you two need to take good care of yourselves, understand? Wait for me to return."

I'm back to pamper you all!

The smile on his face was obvious, and the meaning behind it was self-evident.
