Chapter 9 The Commander's Excessive Pampering of His Wife
Three days later
Beijing
Lu Yan finally returned to the Lu residence and went straight to the main courtyard.
When Luo Xi saw the stranger appear in front of her, she took a step back and looked at him warily.
However, the fact that the guards in the manor allowed him in proves that he wouldn't harm her.
Lu Yan: "Madam, it's me."
Upon hearing that familiar voice, Luo Xi felt that his gaze was somewhat familiar. She tentatively called out, "Lu Yan?"
Lu Yan remembered that he was still wearing a human skin mask; no wonder she was wary of him...
He reached out and ripped off the human skin mask he was wearing, revealing his true face. "It's me, Madam."
Luo Xi: !!!
Her eyes lit up, and she walked towards him. She took his hand, looked him up and down, and asked worriedly, "Husband, are you alright? Are you hurt?"
Lu Yan took Luo Xi's hand and said gently, "Madam, I'm fine and not injured. Don't worry."
Luo Xi, remembering that he had disappeared with the Emperor, asked, "The Emperor...?"
Looking into Luo Xi's questioning eyes, Lu Yan didn't hide anything from her, "Madam, he's dead. I killed him."
He relayed what the Emperor had told him to Luo Xi...
Luo Xi: !!!
The Emperor sent men to kill her?
That emperor truly deserves to die.
She recalled the man in black who had appeared outside the manor a few days ago. "A few days ago, I saw a man in black outside the manor. He must be the one the Emperor sent to kill me..."
At first, she thought he was sent by Lu Yan's mortal enemy in the officialdom, but she never expected that he was actually sent by the Emperor.
Lu Yan's eyes turned slightly cold: "Probably."
Looking at Lu Yan's handsome face, Luo Xi asked, "Husband, have you thought about your way out?"
Lu Yan nodded. "I've thought it through."
Luo Xi: "That's fine then."
Seeing that Luo Xi didn't ask him about his escape route, Lu Yan looked at Luo Xi's beautiful face and said, "Madam, actually... I have other identities."
Luo Xi asked, surprised and puzzled, "What identity?"
Lu Yan briefly told Luo Xi about his identity.
Luo Xi: !!!
People from the previous dynasty?
Lu Yan held Luo Xi's hand and said, "Madam, it was wrong of me to keep it from you."
Luo Xi: "......."
Actually, if it were her, she would have kept it a secret too.
Lu Yan stared at Luo Xi nervously, afraid that she would be angry, and even more worried that she would leave him. "Madam, I only kept this one thing from you, please don't be angry."
"If we fail, I've already prepared a way out for you. I won't let you die with me."
"Madam, I know I was wrong."
Looking into Lu Yan's nervous and uneasy eyes, Luo Xi patted his hand, "...Husband, I'm not angry."
"This is a huge matter, so naturally the fewer people who know about it, the better."
Moreover, she had only been married to him for a short time, and if he had actually told her, she might have thought he was brainless.
She probably wouldn't have married him...
Seeing Lu Yan's nervous and frightened expression, Luo Xi smiled and said, "Husband, don't overthink it."
Luo Xi was indeed not angry.
After all, this matter not only concerns him personally, but also many people behind him...
If it were her, she would also choose to keep it a secret for the time being.
Luo Xi pretended to have a stern face and poked Lu Yan's chest, "Do you really think I'm such an easily angered person?"
Lu Yan: !!!
Without hesitation, he replied, "Of course not."
Seeing that Luo Xi was truly not angry, Lu Yan breathed a sigh of relief. His eyes were a little red. "Thank you for your understanding, Madam..."
