Just as she thought of this, she suddenly felt a strange touch on her back. Su Nuannuan was so scared that she almost jumped up. She turned around and looked at the young marquis who she had just "praised" as worse than a beast, and asked in horror: "What are you doing?"
Just by looking at his wife's frightened eyes, Duan Tingxuan knew what she was thinking. He couldn't help but feel angry and frustrated. He rubbed her back twice, rolled his eyes and snorted coldly, "Don't worry, I don't have any improper thoughts about you. I just thought about your hard work during the day, so I just wanted to loosen up your muscles. Don't worry."
"You should have told me earlier." Su Nuannuan breathed a sigh of relief, turned around and continued to lie down. It must be said that Duan Tingxuan's skills were really good. The places where he pressed and kneaded seemed to have all the pores opened, and streams of warm currents seeped in and flowed through the body, making her feel warm and comfortable.
"Is this internal strength? It's really magical, but it's a pity that I will never be able to learn it in my lifetime." After seeing the glorious feat of the young marquis beating up nearly a hundred bandits in just one meal time at Pushan Temple, Su Nuannuan finally gave up hope on her own journey of learning martial arts.
"It's enough that you know how to cook." Duan Tingxuan smiled, and before his wife could show off her power, he said with sympathy, "Just don't be so tired like today. As I just said, you are the wife of the prince. Apart from the old lady, the master and me, who in this mansion is qualified to eat what you cook? Why do you disregard your status? And why do you tire yourself out so much?"
"My love is priceless." Su Nuannuan moaned comfortably, then twisted her body slightly. Thinking about the busy days in the mansion, she couldn't help but closed her eyes and whispered, "It's really good. The maids are busy all the time, but everyone has a happy face; all kinds of red lanterns, palace lanterns and glass lanterns for the New Year are also taken out and placed in the yard. Well, there are so many of them, it's really colorful; all kinds of seafood and game are continuously shipped to the kitchen; the sewing room is the most short-staffed, so the new clothes are all made by famous tailors in the capital. They only need to be responsible for making some brocade purses, headbands, belts and the like. Even so, they are busy all the time. What a lively New Year. Duan Tingxuan. I have never had such a lively New Year, even the air seems to be full of the flavor of the New Year..."
Duan Tingxuan paused for a moment. He knew that Su Nuannuan must have remembered the New Year in another world. So, is my wife still a person? Do they celebrate the New Year there? Thank God, although he has decided that no matter whether Su Nuannuan is a human, a demon, a ghost or a devil, he will love her until old age. But if she is really a bug, jackal, rakshasa or yaksha, he will always feel a little uncomfortable, right?
Su Nuannuan was completely unaware of her husband's thoughts. She was still there, happily recalling the past, muttering, "So what if I'm tired for a day? I like to prepare the snacks for the New Year in the kitchen myself. Not only that, I will also cook two new dishes for the reunion dinner tomorrow. We are a family, what's the point of talking about qualifications? It's your two concubines, and my meals are for them. It's true that I'm a little unwilling, but it doesn't matter. Who let the old lady treat me well? The wife treats me well now, too. Although we didn't talk much when we met, I can feel that she really cares about me."
"Oh? Mother actually likes you so much now?" Duan Tingxuan was in high spirits, and he couldn't help but put a little more strength in his hands, causing Su Nuannuan to moan comfortably again. She smiled and said, "Yes, now every time I go to pay my respects to the Madam, she always asks a few questions, such as whether there is enough charcoal in the house? Why is there no movement in the belly? It is better for a woman to have children by her side. She often uses herself as an example to persuade me."
"What do you mean?" Duan Tingxuan really couldn't imagine why his mother, who was always cold and rule-abiding, would use herself as an example and guide him patiently. Could it be that the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law had developed such a deep relationship without his knowledge?
"You don't understand this? Madam gave birth to such an excellent son like you. Although she doesn't say it on weekdays, she is very proud in her heart. But she has to be reserved in front of the women in the capital. She can't boast to everyone that I gave birth to the best son in the world, right? She has been holding back this pride, and it must be very painful. Suddenly, I, the childless daughter-in-law, became not so annoying, and I would give her some snacks every now and then. Over time, Madam probably felt that I was not hopelessly bad and could be helped. So she vented all her pride for giving birth to a child of heaven on me."
Duan Tingxuan listened carefully at first, but at the end, the young marquis couldn't help laughing, and he laughed so hard that he fell on Su Nuannuan's back, and said "apologetically" while laughing: "Sorry, sorry, my mother is just an ordinary woman. The only thing she can be proud of in her life is probably giving birth to a son like me who is both good-looking and virtuous. So Nuannuan, you have to work harder, at least you have to give her something to talk about in front of you, right?"
"Get lost! I told you you're fat and you're panting." Su Nuannuan couldn't help but punch Duan Tingxuan in the backhand, while scolding with a smile: "What a good-looking son! He's obviously a shameless and black-hearted person."
As the couple chatted and laughed, Duan Tingxuan massaged his beloved wife from head to toe. The young marquis was born into a wealthy family, so how could he know any techniques? But he had the help of his inner strength, which penetrated into Su Nuannuan's body, making it more comfortable than a hot compress. In less than an hour, the fatigue was swept away.
"Thank you so much, I feel much better now." Su Nuannuan sat up, feeling a little nervous. It was already the end of the night, and the atmosphere with the flickering candlelight was quite ambiguous. If Duan Tingxuan's hormones were stimulated and secreted too much, wouldn't it be dangerous for her? If she kicked him off the bed with one kick, it would be a bit difficult to kick him after he had just finished a full body massage.
Duan Tingxuan saw his wife's alert look. What else did he not understand? He sighed and thought to himself, "Duan Tingxuan, Duan Tingxuan, the road to chasing his wife is long and arduous. Is it true that you can never be a real couple with Nuannuan? But... you are still a man of three wives and four concubines. Nuannuan probably can't accept it anyway. Never mind. Seeing her happy and joyful, and letting her feel at ease to give you a massage on her back, this is already a great improvement. Being too greedy will get you struck by lightning."
As soon as she thought of this, she stood up and said, "It's late at night. Tomorrow is New Year's Eve. Who knows how busy we will be. You should have a good sleep. The maids won't wake you up tomorrow morning. I'm going to sleep in the wing room."
