Chapter 14 Chapter 14 I don't know my wife is beautiful

Lu Xusheng left the palace and went to the Governor's Mansion again, and did not return until late in the evening.

He did not bother to go to the Second Madam's courtyard to pay his respects, but went straight back to Ningji Hall.

Cheng Yian had heard the news that he was coming back, and had prepared all the necessary things for him. Seeing that he was exhausted, he smiled and came to greet him.

"Second Master is back and has prepared some water. You should wash up first after all the hard work you have done along the way."

Lu Xusheng stood behind the curtain with his hands behind his back, looking at her quietly. Seeing that her expression was normal, her brows relaxed.

"It's my fault. I didn't arrange secret guards around you, so you were taken away by the princess. I have just given the order to let Qiu Qing follow you from now on."

Qiu Qing was the leader of his secret guards. The emperor rewarded all of the 100 brave generals who had followed him out of the Silver Mountain and returned alive as his private soldiers. They were his subordinates and also his brothers.

Safety is the most important thing for a person in life. Cheng Yian didn't bother to be polite with him. He poured him some tea and urged him to take a shower and change his clothes.

Afterwards, the couple went to the second wife's courtyard.

Yesterday, the Second Madam came to the palace to ask for help for Cheng Yian, for which Cheng Yian came specially to express her gratitude. The mother-in-law and daughter-in-law had a deep gap in their previous life, so it was impossible for them to be close in this life, but she hoped that they could live in peace.

After dinner, the second lady asked Lu Xusheng,

"You came back so quickly, the job must have been done."

Lu Xusheng knew his mother too well and was worried that he would neglect his official duties for Cheng Yian. As a mother, she hoped that her son-in-law would devote himself to her daughter, but she did not want her son to indulge in love.

"It's almost done. Otherwise my son wouldn't dare come back."

The second wife felt at ease.

Cheng Yian listened at the side and looked at him quietly.

This man has really improved. In the past, he would say whatever was on his mind without beating around the bush, but now he knows how to keep a secret.

It’s good to marry a mature man, and she can save a lot of worries.

Seeing her son's tired face, the second lady knew that he must have traveled all night long. She waved her hand and let them go.

"You don't have to come and pay your respects tomorrow."

Lu Xusheng agreed with a smile.

After returning to Ningji Hall, Cheng Yian guessed that Lu Xusheng wanted to take a nap, so she didn't dare to delay and went to the bathroom to wash and change clothes. When she finished and went into the room, Lu Xusheng was already lying down.

She tiptoed to the bed and took a look. The eyes were tightly closed and the breathing was even. She thought he was asleep, so she decided not to rush and quietly went to the kang under the south window to take stock of the family's belongings.

Just as she moved the hem of her skirt up, she heard a voice from the man in the distance:

"What are you still dawdling about? Why don't you come to bed?"

Cheng Yian's face suddenly fell, "You haven't fallen asleep yet?"

"No, I'm waiting for you." Lu Xusheng closed his eyes and rubbed his brows, his voice sounding extremely tired.

Cheng Yian had no choice but to put the account book away again, blow out the light, and go to bed holding up her skirt.

Just as the curtain was lowered, an iron-like arm suddenly stretched out and grabbed her by the waist and pulled her over. Cheng Yian screamed in surprise, and she was already being pinned down by him.

Look at how he did it in one go, how could he have any difficulty at all?

Cheng Yian pressed his knees against his chest and glared at him angrily, "You've been rushing all night and busy all day, why are you in such a hurry?"

Lu Xusheng laughed and brushed away the messy hair on her forehead. "How can I not be anxious? You wanted to fast before, and now you've been away for another half a month. More than 20 days have passed. How many times have you owed?"

Cheng Yian's cheeks flushed, and he turned around and fled to the inside, "Take care of yourself. You died so early in your previous life, who knows if it wasn't because of overwork."

"One night without sleep is nothing. It's common to go without sleep for three days during a march." Lu Xusheng dragged her back and took off her belt with ease.

Cheng Yian didn't struggle this time. He just covered his face and let him do whatever he wanted.

Lu Xusheng looked at her like an ostrich and slapped her plump buttocks in anger.

The crisp sound accompanied by a hint of beauty is really unsettling.

Cheng Yian was annoyed and turned around to push him. It turned out that he didn't use much strength, and Lu Xusheng fell down. With a push of his long arms, Cheng Yian had "turned the tables".

His hands were like clamps holding her down, unable to move, but he was still smiling.

"Madam, you don't have to be so considerate to me."

You're getting a bargain and you're still being rude.

Cheng Yian was not to be outdone, and replied with a red face, "Well, isn't it because we are afraid that Governor Lu will have to rush all night..."

Lu Xu laughed angrily.

Rulan was on duty tonight. Cheng Yian had told her that the master should go to bed early and that everyone in the yard should be cleared and not to make any noise. Rulan sent the maids and old women on duty to the back room. Servants are also human beings. When the masters have rested, it is time for them to have some fun. They gathered in the tea room next to the stove room in groups of three or four to eat snacks and melon seeds, talking about the interesting stories of the day.

Rulan was resting on a small couch in the west room with a mattress in her arms. Not long after she lay down, she heard Cheng Yian's low cry coming from the inner room of the east room, as if he had fallen. She was so scared that she got up, quickly put on her clothes, and tiptoed across the main room to the pearl curtain outside the east room. She heard a creaking sound from inside.

It was the first time for Rulan to see such a scene. Her face turned red and then pale, and she was a little flustered.

This is what Nanny Li always tells us to do. We need to prepare water.

Yes, prepare water.

Rulan hurried to the back room.

The old women were talking happily, and when they saw Rulan's face full of hesitation to talk, they immediately understood.

Everyone smiled but said nothing and went about their own business.

Mrs. Liu, who was in charge of the firewood, even teased her, "The girl is the second wife's confidant, and this kind of thing will happen frequently in the future. What will happen if you blush now? Our second master fought on the battlefield, so he is not afraid of the consequences.

He is comparable to those weak men. As long as he is in the house, Second Madam can't rest..."

Rulan's eyes widened when she heard that.

Don't want to rest?

The scream just now really made her heart beat fast. The girl was raised delicately, and the old man was tall and strong, with a body as strong as a copper wall and an iron wall. Could the girl withstand his torture?

And he wants it every night. Where can I find food to eat?

She didn't sleep well that night, so when Cheng Yian lazily called the maid to serve her the next morning, she saw a dark spot under Rulan's eyes.

Cheng Yian originally wanted to ask her why she didn't sleep well, but then he remembered what happened last night and understood the reason. He suddenly felt a little uncomfortable.

Rulan was not like Ruhui, she could not hide her secrets. When Ruhui was packing up her wet handkerchief and changed clothes and going to the back through the aisle, she quietly pulled the corner of Cheng Yian's clothes.

"Girl, are you...are you injured last night?"

Cheng Yian looked at the little girl's nervous face and didn't know whether to laugh or cry. She shook her head slightly.

"Don't let your imagination run wild. It's nothing..."

Rulan was still worried, "You can't let yourself be wronged for your aunt."

Is that thing so pleasurable that you need to do it every night?

Cheng Yian was embarrassed and coughed, "You'll know when you get married."

When Rulan heard that she was going to get married, her pretty face turned red like a monkey's bottom, "I was kind enough to care about you, but you made fun of me."

Lu Xusheng was still waiting outside for breakfast. Cheng Yian didn't dare to delay and pinched the little girl's face.

"Okay, go to the back room and rest. If you say you won't marry today, don't make a fuss about wanting to marry later."

In her previous life, the two maids were transferred from the capital to Yizhou because of her, and neither of them had ever married. In this life, Cheng Yian planned to settle them down well.

After hearing this, Rulan felt embarrassed and anxious, and quickly hid in the backyard through the alley.

When Cheng Yian came out of the bathroom, Lu Xusheng had changed into a sky-blue robe and was sitting by the window reading a book.

The clothes were not thick, outlining his solid muscles. His sitting posture was very handsome, and he had a natural military bearing. Even though he was lazy and casual, his pride was not compromised at all.

It's almost October and Kyoto is already covered with frost. In such weather, he doesn't even wear thick clothes. This man is a natural stove. Well, it's enough to warm the bed in winter.

Nanny Li had asked someone to come in and serve the meal, and Ruhui came over to help Cheng Yian with her dressing.

In the past, Cheng Yian was taught by her grandmother that a girl should be careful with her words and actions and keep to herself. But since she was beautiful and bright, her grandmother never allowed her to dress up ostentatiously. In this life, she doesn't have to worry so much and can do whatever she likes.

"Please give me some eye makeup."

Ruhui picked at the box for a while and asked her, "How about I paint you a peach blossom makeup?"

The words "peach blossom makeup" brought back an old memory for Cheng Yian.

In the past, noble ladies in Shu were fond of wearing all kinds of eye makeup, including pearl makeup, pink makeup, and tear makeup.

The first thing Fan Yulin did every morning was to draw her eyebrows and put on makeup for her. In her previous life, until she discovered his mistress, Fan Yulin enjoyed doing this. She felt so sweet at that time, and the relationship between husband and wife was as close as glue and affectionate.

But Lu Xusheng is different.

Don't think that this man is very difficult to get along with in bed. After getting off the bed, he is like a pine or cypress on the snowy mountain. Outside, he keeps strangers away and never laughs or talks. He never even glances at any woman. Inside, he will not lay hands on her, not even for a small quarrel between husband and wife.

Things like drawing eyebrows and putting on makeup, or having a beautiful woman to accompany you, do not exist.

It’s not that Cheng Yian expected Lu Xusheng to be like this, but it was only after experiencing two lives that she truly understood it.

As a man, you must be down-to-earth.

Like Fan Yulin, he is usually gentle and considerate, saying sweet words, but once something happens, he can't help but rely on her for help from the Cheng family. In his previous life, Cheng Yian not only had to manage the family business, but also had to help him with official dealings. As for Fan Yulin, he only needed to coax her with a few words and pat her shoulders and rub her arms, and his wife would work hard for him.

Lu Xusheng doesn't need it.

He earned money for her to spend, and she didn't care about anything else outside. Take the case of the eldest princess for example, he dared to stop the driver and warn her. Presumably, the eldest princess would not dare to touch her again in the future. With him around, it was like someone holding a huge umbrella over her head, making her fearless of all wind and rain.

What's the point of love?

In both lives, being down-to-earth is the most important thing.

Lu Xusheng is the most suitable man to live with.

Thinking of this, Cheng Yian smiled and took the brush from Ruhui.

"I'll do it myself."

From now on, she will learn to draw her eyebrows and put on makeup by herself.

Lu Xusheng was a little hungry. He waited for a long time but Cheng Yian didn't come to eat. He put down the book and looked inside. He saw Cheng Yian struggling in front of the bronze mirror with her head tilted. In the past, he would have thought that women were really troublesome, but now, he could only endure it.

Half a minute later, Cheng Yian painted a plum blossom makeup for herself. A horizontal branch meandered from under the eye to the end of the eye, with a pink plum blossom blooming at the end. She only needed to purse her lips and smile, and the plum blossom seemed to be swaying in the wind.

Cheng Yian came out with great satisfaction. Seeing Lu Xusheng still sitting at the table without picking up his chopsticks, he smiled and said,

"You can use it by yourself from now on. You don't have to wait for me. Or you can use it in the study."

She and Lu Xusheng are going to live together for a long time, and there is no need for them to stick together all the time. Husband and wife should give each other space sometimes.

Lu Xusheng glanced at her, shook his head and said, "No need." Then he picked up his chopsticks and motioned for her to start eating.

Cheng Yian sat down.

Neither of them wanted anyone to serve them, so Ruhui waited on the side. Cheng Yian sat facing east, and Lu Xusheng faced west. The morning light just hit Cheng Yian's cheeks, making her face glow, and the plum blossom at the corner of her eye seemed to have faded away.

It's so beautiful.

Even the maid who had grown up with the girl and was used to her beauty was moved.

Ruhui glanced at Lu Xusheng secretly.

Lu Xusheng was concentrating on eating and didn't react.

Before leaving, I asked her if she had any plans for today, and Cheng Yian said no.

"In two days it will be the birthday of the old ancestor of Beifu. It's not a formal birthday. The old ancestor never celebrates birthdays. But we, the Cheng family, should go back and have a feast. The old ancestor has all kinds of good things. She doesn't like to spend money, so I plan to embroider something for her today..."

Since you weren't planning on going out, why did you spend so much time getting dressed?

Lu Xusheng didn't care either.

I don't know how she lived with Fan Yulin in her previous life. Here, he gave her enough space and freedom.

"Do you need me to accompany you on the birthday banquet?"

Cheng Yian smiled bitterly, "You said something like that yesterday, maybe it has spread to the Northern Palace. I don't know how I'm going to apologize to my ancestors, so don't join in the fun."

Cheng Mingyu is the eldest son of the old lady in Beifu. How can the old lady be happy about it?

Lu Xusheng sneered, "I didn't pursue the Cheng family's fault for getting you into trouble. I've already given them face. If they dare to say anything, just let me know and I'll pick you up."

In response to this, the man changed into a crimson official robe and walked out with a dignified manner.
