The Prime Minister and the others knew Chu Sangyue as Chu Yue, because Chu Sangyue would never tell them her real name; if she did, they would know immediately.
In their eyes, Chu Yue was a young master whose parents had passed away and whose grandfather was not around. His family was originally in business, and after his parents left, the business was left to him. However, as a man, he could not show his face in public. The shops were still managed by the shopkeepers. He would occasionally inspect the shops, but he spent most of his time in the back office managing the accounts.
Chu Sangyue needed them to know that she had to go out every day, or at least frequently, so that she could attend court and handle government affairs.
…
After the engagement banquet, the wedding date was set. They will hold two weddings. One will be in the capital, where friends and relatives from both sides will attend. The other wedding will be held in Yunshan because the sect leader will not be coming down the mountain, so for the sake of the grandmother and grandfather.
The date has been chosen, so Chu Sangyue can just relax and become the groom. Wan Ge can handle everything else.
Customs and taboos differ from world to world, so Wan Ge cannot prepare based on past experience; she can only learn step by step.
After finishing some things, it was already night when Wan Ge suddenly passed by Chu Sangyue's house. Not knowing what her little husband was doing, Wan Ge climbed over the wall and went inside out of curiosity.
Seeing that his bedroom light was off, I assumed he had already fallen asleep so early, but when I entered the bedroom, I couldn't sense his presence.
What's going on? Where's my husband? If he's not in bed yet, the lights should be on at this hour, even if he's not in the bedroom. And when I sneaked in just now, I didn't see him anywhere else. Where did he go?
"Who is it?" A voice suddenly came from outside the door. Judging from the footsteps, Wan Ge could tell that the other person was highly skilled in martial arts, which was probably why they noticed her sneaking in.
Now wasn't the best time for anyone to discover her, so Wan Ge left. When the other person opened the door, the room was empty, and it seemed as if no one had ever been there before.
The guard frowned. Had he misheard?
…
On her way home, Wan Ge kept wondering where her husband had gone. He wasn't in his room or at home at this hour, so where could he have gone? And he hadn't told her either.
The first thing that struck me was that something was off about Chu Sangyue. Then I suddenly remembered where the man and woman who were with him when I first met him had gone.
No, in the end, Wan Ge appeared openly at his doorstep again. The servant at the door was a little surprised to see Wan Ge and immediately said, "Miss Ji Mo, what brings you here so late?"
Wan Ge picked up the box in her hand: "I just took care of some things nearby, and since I was already here, I thought I'd come and see A Yue, and also bought him his favorite peach blossom pastry."
The servant's eyes showed a hint of panic, but he quickly regained his composure: "Our young master has already retired for the night. Miss, please come again tomorrow."
This answer didn't surprise Wan Ge at all; instead, it deepened her suspicions. Chu Sangyue's absence must mean something was a secret, but what secret could he possibly have? What could he possibly be hiding from her?
