Chapter 3 Preliminary Examination



"Get up," Wen Zhu said, "bring another set of bowls and chopsticks to eat."

"yes."

Hongyu stood up, looked at the table full of delicious dishes, swallowed her saliva, then took a set of bowl and chopsticks and started eating properly.

The master and servant, one sitting and the other standing, finished their lunch quietly.

It was still early after dinner, and Wen Zhu had nothing important to do in the capital, so he simply went to the Anguo Marquis Mansion early.

The Anguo Marquis Mansion is extraordinary and appears majestic and solemn.

Today is a happy event, and many distinguished people have gathered at the main gate, but all this has nothing to do with Wen Zhu.

She chose a secluded path and entered the mansion through a hidden side door.

As soon as I entered the door, a sturdy maid came towards me and said, "Young lady, the lady has arranged a place for you to stay. Come with me."

Wen Zhu responded softly, his eyes lingering on the nanny for a moment.

I met an old acquaintance again.

Without showing any expression on her face, she followed the nanny to a familiar old place - the room behind Liuyun Garden.

This was originally where the servants lived. The space was small and when the sunlight shone through the windows, countless dust particles could be seen floating around.

Wen Zhu thought that the place she lived in the countryside was not as simple as this one.

The nanny seemed oblivious to the surroundings and said coldly, "This is the closest to the main house. You can tidy it up yourself."

After saying this, Mammy turned and left.

Hongyu covered her nose and coughed a few times, unable to help but mutter, "This is not a place for people to live!"

Although he complained, he did not hesitate at all. After hiding the small cloth bag containing the money, he immediately went out to get water and came back to clean up.

Hongyu was very skillful and cleaned the house in no time.

Wen Zhu lay in bed with his clothes on, thinking about what to do in the evening.

Tonight is very important to her.

Whether we can sow doubt in Fu Yu's mind and lay the foundation for turning the situation around in the future depends entirely on tonight.

Before I knew it, the sun had set and it became lively outside.

Hongyu walked into the room with a new set of clothes in her hands. Seeing that Wenzhu had woken up, she put the clothes on the bed and said, "Miss, this was sent by someone from the front. Please change into it quickly because you will be there tonight."

Wen Zhu raised his eyes and glanced lazily at the clothes.

At night she would enter the bridal chamber in place of Wen Chan, and the people sent with her were not only outer clothes, but also underwear.

A red blouse embroidered with mandarin ducks, and a neatly arranged red nightgown underneath.

Wen Zhu frowned slightly, and memories of his previous life emerged in his mind.

The young master of the Anguo Marquis family is called Fu Yu. He not only comes from a prominent family, but is also extremely talented. He even scored top three in the imperial examinations and holds an extraordinary status in the court.

The Crown Prince and the eldest prince all vied to win him over, but he remained neutral, which earned him more favor from the emperor.

Outsiders only see Fu Yu as a steady, even cold and ruthless person, but only Wen Zhu understands that he is extremely unruly in his heart.

It's just because he carries a heavy burden and usually has to hide his true personality.

However, these inner things cannot be suppressed so easily.

In his previous life, when Fu Yu began to taste the sweetness of love, his behavior became more and more flamboyant, which still makes people blush and heartbeat when thinking about it.

Although he indulged himself in bed, he would return to his cold appearance after getting out of bed, which often confused Wen Zhu, and she didn't understand which one was the real Fu Yu.

Looking at the red dress in his hand, Wen Zhu's eyes dimmed slightly.

As the sky gradually darkened, Wen Zhu had just changed his clothes when the door was suddenly pushed open.

Standing at the door was Zhenzhu, Wen Chan's trusted maid.

Zhenzhu stood at the door and looked at Wen Zhu coldly: "Second Miss, let's go."

After saying that, Pearl turned around and walked towards a small door nearby.

Wen Zhu followed behind him.

The small room was comfortably furnished, with a soft carpet on the floor, bookshelves, a table, and a couch.

This place was obviously decorated as a study.

Wen Chan, still wearing her wedding gown, was sitting on the couch, looking at Wen Zhu with disdain: "If you dare to mess this up, just wait for a beating!"

When he saw Wen Chan again, Wen Zhu's resentment surged again, as if those painful scenes appeared before his eyes again.

She took a few deep breaths and forced herself to remain calm.

Now is not the time to completely fall out with her.

Wen Zhu lowered his head and whispered "Yes."

Wen Chan stared at the departing figure, her eyes full of hostility, as if she wanted to pierce Wen Zhu with her gaze.

Noticing the gaze behind him, Wen Zhu lowered his head and smiled.

Sister, sister, let’s switch positions in this life.

This path leads from this small door to the wedding bed. It is so familiar to her that she can walk it with her eyes closed even after many years.

As usual, Wen Zhu extinguished all the candles in the room, leaving only a dim light at the entrance, and lowered the bed curtains.

The room was very large, and the only remaining light at the door could barely illuminate a few steps under his feet. In such a dim environment, and with himself hiding behind the curtain, Fu Yu could not see her true face no matter what.

The room was silent. When Wen Zhu was about to fall asleep, someone finally opened the door and walked into the room, gradually approaching the bed.

Fu Yu had naturally heard something about the person who was about to become his bride.

It's said that the Wen family dotes on their daughter. Just look at the grand ceremony at the wedding today and you'll know this isn't groundless...

I have been spoiled since I was a child, so naturally I have a willful personality.

Judging from her words and actions today, it was indeed as expected.

But now seeing her sitting there quietly, as if she had become a completely different person, Fu Yu was a little confused for a moment.

Since he married her as his wife, he would naturally assume the responsibilities of a husband and would never let her suffer any grievances.

Fu Yu walked to the bedside and stood there, lowering his head slightly, looking at the bride.

The candlelight in the room was too dim to make out her appearance clearly.

Suddenly, a light fragrance entered his nostrils, and Fu Yu swallowed involuntarily.

"Husband," the woman called softly, "I...will help you undress, okay?"

"good."

Hearing his agreement, Wen Zhu stood up and helped him undress gently and carefully.

This cautious attitude was completely different from before, which made Fu Yu frown.

But he soon understood that she was a new wife after all, and it was understandable that she felt nervous in such an occasion.

Therefore, Fu Yu felt that he should be more proactive.

But the problem is, he himself doesn't know exactly how to do it.

For so many years, I haven't even been exposed to the most basic knowledge.

Just as Fu Yu was thinking about what to do next, the woman next to him made a move first.

She gently raised her arms and wrapped them around his neck, then stood on tiptoe and carefully kissed his lips.
