When Yang Shu returned to Huanhe Courtyard, Lu Yun was still awake. He took off his shirt and Yang Shu lay down outside.
Holding Lu Yun in his arms, Yang Shu closed his eyes. The body fragrance of the people around him was very helpful for sleeping.
When I woke up, it was dark.
Yang Shu touched his body and found nothing.
"Wake up." Lu Yun put down the needle and thread and looked at Yang Shu softly.
"Why didn't you call me?" Yang Shu got up from the couch, walked to Lu Yun in single clothes, hugged her, and kept rubbing his head on her shoulder.
"Are you hungry? I'll ask Mo Mei to bring the food." Lu Yun hugged Yang Shu gently and said warmly.
"Is your wife ready?" Yang Shunui asked Lu Yun.
"Not yet."
"It's time to eat." Yang Shu brought his coat and asked Lu Yun to help him put it on.
After arranging Yang Shu's collar, Lu Yun curled the corners of his lips. It didn't need to be thrilling. It was so simple and satisfying.
"I heard from Pai Gow that my wife went to see Cui Tingyu." Yang Shu picked up a piece of ribs and put it in Lu Yun's bowl.
"Well, let's play a game of chess."
"Who won?" Yang Shu became interested.
"Not finished yet."
"It's a pity, my wife must rub her majesty next time, that man is so damn tight!"
Lu Yun wiped his mouth and looked at Yang Shu with a smile, "Are you really not bullying me?"
"Madam, where do you start talking about this?" Yang Shu looked confused, "You know best what kind of person I am. I usually treat an ant so easily, how can I bully a woman?"
"When you look at Cui Tingyu, she's not telling the truth. Madam, you must never believe her."
Lu Yun couldn't help laughing and served Yang Shu some soup.
"The Han family will arrive tomorrow. If the third prince hadn't rebelled, they would have sneaked into Jian'an long ago. The Han family will not give up on Han Chi's disappearance."
Yang Shu took a sip of the soup and said, "King Xi is a narrow-minded man who doesn't like young heroes. Although I belong to the same country as him, I am very shameless of his behavior. We must let the Han family know the 'real murderer'."
"Yun'er." Yang Shu looked at Lu Yun and held her hand, "For this matter, you go to Huining County first."
"Yeah." Lu Yun nodded.
"What about Grandpa?"
Yang Shu's lips moved, and he was a little confused, "The old man has a strong objection to me drugging him. He wants to do it again..."
"I don't want to worry about such a scary thing first." Yang Shu shook his whole body and quickly changed the topic.
Ponzi once revealed that when the old man was in his prime, catching him was like catching a chicken. Two slaps would make his butt swell.
…
"Uncle, my father has been very kind to me recently." Guo Qi poured wine for King Xi.
"When he favored Guo Yi, he was even more kind."
"Uncle Emperor, I'm not stupid. I won't forget his coolness just because of this tenderness."
Guo Qi's eyes darkened, "I wholeheartedly worship the Buddha, and my father's wariness towards me is getting lighter and lighter. But how long will it take?"
"Are you impatient now?" King Xi raised his eyelids.
Guo Qi hurriedly shook his head, "It's just that my father's health has recovered. It will take too long for the other princes to grow up. I'm afraid that all the plans will be to make wedding clothes for others."
"You are right to worry." King Xi caressed his jade finger, "I will propose to the emperor that you be crown prince."
"When the time comes to move into the East Palace, he won't be able to regret it if he wants to."
"Nephew, thank you, uncle!" Guo Qi stood up and bowed deeply.
After dinner, Yang Shu and Lu Yun took a stroll in the garden.
"Your Majesty." Pai Gow hurriedly came over, "The Second Prince went to Heqing Restaurant. Before going out, he changed his clothes and was very careful along the way. If we hadn't kept a close eye on him, we might have been fooled."
"Heqing Restaurant?" Yang Shu raised his eyes, "I remember it is the property of Prince Xi's Mansion."
"The old ones are old fools, the younger ones are little fools, and the whole family is a fool."
"If King Xi can abandon Guo Yi, where does Guo Qi get the confidence to think that he is the chosen one?"
"I am so thick-skinned that I dare not be so narcissistic."
Yang Shu clicked his tongue and squeezed Lu Yun's hand, "It's not interesting to see Guo Qi being played to death. If the two of them fight, the stage will be hot."
"Pai Gow, let me get close to Xu Lang from the Second Prince's Mansion and tell him some news."
Seeing Pai Gow leaving, Yang Shu and Lu Yun sat down.
"I don't want to think about it anymore, let's look at the stars." Yang Shu scratched Lu Yun's nose and led her to look up.
"Have a good rest these two days, I'm here." Yang Shu held hands with Lu Yun, and the two of them leaned against each other and looked at the stars.
Xu Yueyao paused and looked at the backs of Yang Shu and Lu Yun. She squatted down almost subconsciously and used the bushes to cover herself.
It wasn't until they left that Xu Yueyao stood up.
Walking to the stone bench and sitting down, Xu Yueyao looked up at the stars. She and Liu Yun were snatched into the house by Yang Shu. They were only a few days apart, but Liu Yun became Yang Shu's pillow.
She watched the two of them go from being defensive to each other to being intimate.
In the entire mansion, everyone's identity was clear, except for her. She was clearly among them, but she seemed to be outside the door.
Closing her eyes, Xu Yueyao's figure looked a little lonely.
Yang Shu didn't lie to her, he treated her very well, treating Haitang Courtyard as her boudoir, and never stepped foot inside.
In recent days, he has not even shown his face.
Does he really have no other thoughts about her?
Obviously she could breathe a sigh of relief, but Xu Yueyao couldn't be happy.
She gave Yang Shu three belts, five pairs of shoes, seven sets of clothes, and ten pairs of socks. So, he used her as an embroiderer?
Pulling at the corner of her clothes, Xu Yueyao felt a little annoyed. She was bullying someone!
Having made too many clothes for Yang Shu, Xu Yueyao could tell at a glance what size Yang Shu would fit.
After poking the air twice, Xu Yueyao went back. She should never talk to Yang Shu again!
This person just used her as a plaything, teasing her when he wanted to, and then put her aside for the rest of the time, pretending that she was no longer in the house.
Yang Shu came out of the shower and sneezed twice in a row. It was getting cold. He would have to add more hot water in the future. If he caught a cold, he would not be able to hold his sweet-smelling and soft wife.
…
"Lock it."
Xu Jingzhou came out of the cellar and patted the ashes on his body, "This alone is not enough. Let the prince have more luck."
"Everywhere in Huining County has been replaced by its own people, the city walls have been reinforced, commercial farming is in order, and the prince can leave at any time."
The guard wiped the dust off his hands, took out the letter from his arms, and handed it to Xu Jingzhou.
"Miss Xu, everything is fine in the house." The guard said seriously.
Xu Jingzhou looked through the envelope and put the letter into his arms, "Tell the prince that nothing will happen to Huining County."
The guard nodded, erased the traces in the cellar, and then melted into the night.
Early in the morning, Yang Shu got up and stretched his muscles. He went to see Pang Qi for a sparring match. The old man was becoming less and less willing to give in. He was afraid that he wouldn't be able to kill him with his fists.
The wind blew people's clothes bulging, but Yang Shu was stunned and broke out in sweat.
"Prince." Pai Gow handed the cloth to Yang Shu, "Butler Pang, you are so majestic. I wish I could be as powerful as him." Pai Gow looked at Pang Qi's back and sighed.
Yang Shu tilted him, "I'll tell you that you have bad intentions!"
"You actually want to take action against me!"
"..."
"I'll give you a chance today!" Yang Shu put on a posture.
Pai Gow's eyes twitched, and he turned around and left. The prince couldn't beat Butler Pang, so he wanted to use him to save the game.
He was not going to be fooled.
