"I'll go out and wait for you, my wife. Or should I have a maid come in and help you get dressed and wash up?"
Lin Zao's face darkened, and she glared at Tang Jian:
"I can do it myself! Get out of here right now!"
Lin Zao knew exactly how many marks she had on her body, and she didn't want outsiders to see them; she was afraid she would be too ashamed to face anyone!
Tang Jian didn't dare to say anything more and quickly opened the door and went out.
Lin Zao endured the soreness, and by the time she finally managed to get dressed, most of the day had passed, and she was covered in a thin layer of sweat from the pain.
Although she wasn't very sticky, she still wanted to take a hot bath.
Suddenly, a maid's voice came from outside the door:
"Madam, the hot water the general ordered is ready. Let me help you to take a bath."
"Come in!"
Lin Zao finally breathed a sigh of relief after soaking in the hot water.
Unexpectedly, there was a medicinal smell in the water. Lin Zao took a sniff and found the smell quite pleasant.
He snorted, thinking that at least this man had some sense.
Lin Zao only came out when the water was almost cold.
The aches and pains in my body have mostly subsided; this medicine is quite effective!
Actually, this medicine was a precious herb used by Tang Jian and his army generals to strengthen their muscles and bones. It was most effective when soaked in it after intense exercise.
It's easy to guess what Tang Jian was thinking.
He didn't get to enjoy himself enough yesterday, and Lin Zao couldn't take it anymore and fainted.
For the sake of his future happiness, he should prepare more of this medicine, as he will need it frequently in the future!
Lin Zao was unaware of Tang Jian's sinister intentions and was inwardly praising his thoughtfulness.
If I knew the truth, I'd probably tear that shameless man apart!
He doesn't even look at his tall, burly, and rough appearance, plus his body of steel. There are probably very few people who can withstand him!
Fortunately, Lin Zao knew nothing about it.
When she dried her hair, dressed neatly, and walked out of the room, it was lunchtime.
When she arrived at the dining table, Tang Jian was already sitting there waiting, and it seemed that he had also washed and dressed.
He was dressed in a black straight-cut brocade robe, with a wide black brocade belt with auspicious cloud patterns around his waist, adorned with a jade pendant.
His black hair was tied up high, which made him look handsome and dashing.
As soon as Tang Jian saw Lin Zao, he immediately smiled and walked straight up to her, taking her hand in his.
He asked with concern:
"How are you? Are you feeling better?"
Lin Zao nodded and praised, "Much better! Your medicine is very good!"
Tang Jian raised an eyebrow in a good mood, "That goes without saying!"
Lin Zao glanced at him several times. Did this person really need to smile so alluringly?
He found it somewhat amusing, though. On the battlefield he was a great general, at home he was a son, a husband, a father, and the head of the family!
But he's only 23 years old, just a big boy. When he encounters something happy, even if he's mature, he can't help but show his joy.
After the two sat down, Lin Zao looked around but didn't see Tang's mother and Aunt Ren. They usually ate together, so why weren't they here today?
She looked at Tang Jian with a puzzled expression.
"Mother said the weather is nice today, so we'll have our meal in our own courtyard!"
Looking at his serious answer, Lin Zao felt something was off and looked at him suspiciously.
He probably won't tell his mother that the two of them last night...
She stared intently into his eyes for a while but didn't notice anything. Then she looked at the food on the table. He couldn't be that stupid!
"Alright! Let's eat!"
Seeing Lin Zao look away, Tang Jian breathed a sigh of relief, but a hint of guilt flashed in his eyes. Actually, it was his mother who had guessed it.
Tang's mother was a shrewd and experienced woman. Seeing her son's peacock-like display of affection, she could easily guess what had happened.
