Lu Shiyan left home for a week without a word.
He didn't send a single message during that week.
Just when Jiang Li was planning to run away from home so that her scoundrel wouldn't be able to find her when he came back, Lu Shiyan returned.
only……
Even though Lu Shiyan tried his best to hide it, Jiang Li still sensed something was wrong.
Just as Lu Shiyan said he was going to take a shower and change his clothes, and deliberately turned his body to avoid Jiang Li, Jiang Li suddenly grabbed Lu Shiyan's arm.
Then she clearly saw the injuries on Lu Shiyan's body.
Jiang Li: "???"
No, how did you get yourself into this state?
Putting everything else aside, just look at her husband's current status; no one can harm him now.
Even if he was hurt, doesn't he still have a healing card?
Despite his identity and the double protection of the healing card, he still managed to end up with a bruised and swollen face, which seemed rather odd.
"Jiang Jiang, I'm very dirty. Let me take a shower and change my clothes first," Lu Shiyan said calmly, avoiding Jiang Li's gaze.
This was clearly an attempt to avoid Jiang Li and prevent her from noticing his injuries.
But Jiang Li's eyes are sharp as lightning, how could she not have seen it?
"Ayan, what happened to your injuries?" Jiang Li didn't beat around the bush with Lu Shiyan and went straight to the point, her tone becoming colder.
Someone actually dared to hurt her man...
Is this a sign of being tired of living?
Thinking about it, Jiang Li clenched her fists involuntarily, and even the fact that Lu Shiyan had been missing for a week was put out of her mind.
What else could it be?
It must be because he was injured and didn't dare to come back and let her see him, right?
"Wh...what injury?" Lu Shiyan pretended to be stupid, denying that he had any injuries.
Jiang Li sneered and moved very quickly, pulling open Lu Shiyan's clothes.
The buttons on her shirt came off with a sharp tug and fell to the ground with a crisp sound.
The butler who happened to be passing by: "..."
Oh my!
That lady is really something!
How can someone his age stand to watch such a scene?
So the butler covered his face while leaving a slit in his eyes, and walked away reluctantly.
Hmm, I'd like to see more of this scene.
Unfortunately, he was a sensible butler and would never do anything that would be beneath his dignity.
so……
Um……
Be patient.
Jiang Li had no time to care about what the housekeeper was thinking. As soon as she ripped open Lu Shiyan's clothes, she saw the secret he was trying so hard to hide.
Compared to the bruises on his body, the marks on his face were negligible.
"What's going on with you?" Jiang Li asked with a stern face when she saw Lu Shiyan trying to cover up the bruises on his body. She slapped away his hand that was grabbing his clothes.
Lu Shiyan's eyes flickered for a moment, "Jiang Jiang, this is something I need to face, so you don't need to worry about it."
This is something he should do.
But if I say it out loud, it might be seen as tattling.
Therefore, Lu Shiyan chose...
He kept silent.
But Jiang Li wanted to know the answer, so how could she let Lu Shiyan get away with it so easily?
So she pressed on with a serious expression, "Do you want me to tell you when I'm in a good mood, or do you want me to torture you into confessing?"
Lu Shiyan chuckled dryly, "Well... isn't it a bit inappropriate to use torture to extract a confession? Honey, just pretend I got into trouble outside and got into a fight, okay?"
"What do you mean by 'just consider'?" Jiang Li was even more annoyed. "It's either yes or no. Are you trying to fool me like I'm an idiot by using that word?"
Lu Shiyan: "..."
He just didn't want his wife to keep asking.
"Are you going to talk or not?" Jiang Li asked with a dark face, poking Lu Shiyan's chest with her hand, specifically the spot with obvious bruises.
Lu Shiyan couldn't help but cry out in pain.
It really hurts.
Jiang Li deliberately poked Lu Shiyan's wound, and at the same time, she felt an indescribable dark power from the bruise.
That is...
An aura that doesn't exist in this world.
"Where exactly did you go?" Jiang Li asked seriously with a stern face. "These bruises can't be caused by just anything. Even the most vengeful ghosts in this world wouldn't have the ability to hurt you like this. It looks more like the aura of an ancient murderer. Tell me... what exactly did you do? How did you get involved with an ancient ferocious beast?"
Lu Shiyan sighed when pressed for details, "Actually, it's nothing. I just went to find some herbs."
"Why are you hiding it when you're just looking for herbs?" Jiang Li didn't believe Lu Shiyan's words and felt that he was hiding something.
"Really." Lu Shiyan immediately took out the herbs he had picked. "Look, this is it. I'm not lying to you. It's just that while picking herbs, I encountered some ferocious wild animals. I wasn't paying attention for a moment, and those animals took advantage of me and I got injured. But the injury is healing a bit slowly, so I didn't dare to come back directly, which is why I was delayed for a few days... I wanted to keep it from you, but I didn't expect my wife to have such sharp eyes and see through it at a glance..."
"Don't try to flatter me." Jiang Li took the herbs and examined them carefully, trying to figure out what they were, but she still didn't speak to Lu Shiyan in a friendly tone. "You've already explained this matter, so where did you go to collect the herbs?"
Lu Shiyan: "..."
This question is not easy to answer.
His eyes flickered for a moment, then he looked away.
"It seems the biggest secret is the location where the herbs were gathered," Jiang Li said seriously, resting her chin on her hand.
Lu Shiyan: "..."
Can my wife not be so smart?
That would make him seem very...
Not smart.
"Tell me, where did you go..." Jiang Li continued to ask.
"Jiang Jiang, can we stop asking now?" Lu Shiyan looked at Jiang Li expectantly, trying his best to look cute.
"No." Jiang Li's tone was very decisive.
Since she's asking, we should naturally press her for an answer.
The fact that she's not allowed to ask now means there's definitely something wrong with this.
Lu Shiyan didn't speak, while Jiang Li examined his injuries again, carefully sensing the aura emanating from him.
This is……
Jiang Li: "!!!"
As if she had just thought of something, Jiang Li's expression instantly turned serious.
"How could you...go to such a dangerous place?"
If she wasn't mistaken, Ayan must have gone to an ancient secret realm. Inside the realm was a treasure trove with many treasures, but also many dangers.
One wrong move and he could be dead.
Just as Lu Shiyan was about to say something, something suddenly fell from the sky and hit Jiang Li.
Jiang Li: "???"
Who hit her?
Jiang Li picked up what she caught and took a look, and then she saw...
Holy crap!!!
A statue of the founding master?
Jiang Li looked at Lu Shiyan in disbelief and asked, word by word, "Did the Ancestral Master send you?"
Lu Shiyan shook his head. "No."
"Hmm?" Jiang Li looked suspicious.
"It was I who asked the patriarch to guide me there."
Jiang Li: "..."
