Actually, Xie Tingyue had always wanted to say something to Chu Mu.
Could Chu Mu… accompany him back to the Xie Mansion?
It was customary to return to the Xie Mansion on the third day after Xie Tingyue’s wedding and he planned to do something. The Chu family’s background was of great use to him, and his newly wedded husband was a valuable special assistance.
Yesterday during the day, it was too hasty and chaotic everywhere, and there was no suitable time to ask his husband and at night, when there was time to spend alone… the atmosphere developed in a strange direction again, and he couldn’t ask anything.
Today——
Xie Tingyue looked at his newly wedded husband, surprisingly quiet, not talking, unlike yesterday when he made him blush, made his heart beating wild and left him feeling uneasy.
The sense of distance between the two was very subtle. After last night’s ‘blushing and restlessness’, no matter how Chu Mu behaved today, whether it was indifference or estrangement, Xie Tingyue did not feel embarrassed. The other party’s gesture was not rejection, and he could speak directly if he had anything to say, there was no need to hesitate.
But Chu Mu was so quiet, with pale skin and pale lips, devoid of any energy at all. It seemed that he had worked too hard yesterday and couldn’t even recover from a night’s sleep.
This was a patient with a very serious condition.
Xie Tingyue hesitated.
It was fine if he couldn’t help the other party share their burdens, or be more considerate, but he still had to drag the other man to burn and light up others….
He would wait and see how his physical condition would be later.
Xie Tingyue took the words of request back to his heart and greeted Chu Mu. He then turned around, walking in the direction of the outer hall, and called for Brother Dong.
This time, it took only an hour.
What needed to be done and what needed to be explained were clearly stated the day before the wedding. Today’s meeting mainly focused on feedback and exchange of information, as well as necessary tasks to be carried out in the future, identifying and filling gaps, and taking advantage of the situation….
Xie Tingyue’s mind kept spinning, his eyes becoming brighter and more confident. When he returned to the room, his footsteps were very light and agile.
If Chu Mu could accompany him back to the Xie Mansion tomorrow and play the Sea God Trident, everything would be so stable that it could not be any more stable.
Opening the door, he saw Chu Mu had fallen asleep.
He was leaning against the couch, his long eyelashes casting a shadow under his eyes, his hand holding the book, which was slipping, and there was a faint blush on his cheeks. Not far from the couch, the charcoal tray was burning brightly.
Was this warm enough?
Xie Tingyue took a look and found that the couch was covered with thick cushions, fluffy and soft. This posture was neither tiring nor uncomfortable, so he didn’t disturb Chu Mu. He gently took off the book in his hand, brought a soft blanket, and covered him with it.
After watching the other person quietly for a long time, Xie Tingyue thought to himself, it’s better to forget asking him, let him rest well. The plan went smoothly and he can handle it alone, but it may take a little longer…
After Xie Tingyue left, Chu Mu’s eyelashes trembled slightly and he slowly opened his eyes.
The end of his eyes slightly narrowed, and the dark undercurrents were undulating.
Taking advantage of Xie Tingyue’s lack of attention, he turned his head and ordered his long time follower Qin Ping, “Bring that medicine over.”
We’re sorry for MTLers or people who like using reading mode, but our translations keep getting stolen by aggregators so we’re going to bring back the copy protection. If you need to MTL please retype the gibberish parts.
Qin Ping’s face tightened instantly and he said, “Young Master, you can’t take that medicine too much. You already took one pill yesterday.”

This matter had come to an end, and the days ahead would have to be lived. Now that he had won over Liu Yuanshan, what could he do next? What resources were available at hand, and what happened at this time in his previous life that could be used?
There were too many things in his heart, and his mind was chaotic with all the thoughts, so he didn’t have much energy to pay attention to Chu Mu. Fortunately, Chu Mu had been very quiet all day today, and there was nothing unusual about his body. Apart from being unhealthy, there had not been anything special about him.
Nurturing his energy all night, Xie Tingyue woke up early the next day, carefully getting up and dressing, being careful not to disturb Chu Mu.
Taking a few bites of food hastily, he turned to the main courtyard and greeted the Elders.
The atmosphere in the Old Matriarch’s place was as usual, with some who didn’t like to talk, some with a hint of concern between their eyebrows and eyes, and some with various overt and covert mean intentions. Xie Tingyue was focused on thinking about his return home, and any unpleasant words were ignored.
However, he could also see, that whether Chu Mu would accompany him back to the Xie Mansion or not, and whether he truly cared for Chu Mu, it seemed that no one cared too much about it. The couple could just make their own decisions.
He didn’t know if this was good or bad.
Everything was ready, Xie Tingyue tidied up his clothes and walked to the prepared carriage. When he opened the door, there was someone inside!
The warm breeze and medicinal fragrance hit his face, smiling and looking at him. The gentleman’s face was as elegant as a spring breeze. Who else could it be if it wasn’t Chu Mu?
Xie Tingyue quickly closed the carriage door to block the cold air and asked, “Why are you here?”
“Shouldn’t you be going back to Xie Mansion today?” Chu Mu frowned slightly with a serious expression, “Did I remember wrong?”
Wrong… of course it couldn’t be wrong, Xie Tingyue just hadn’t told him about it.
“Madam, do you want to leave me behind and sneak back to the Xie Mansion alone?” Chu Mu leaned forward slightly, his tone slightly raised, as if joking, but also seemed to have a hint of blame and resentment.
Xie Tingyue concluded that he was not mistaken. There was an obvious sense of desolation and sadness in the other party’s eyes. He was sad.
Did he feel abandoned? And the other party’s anger seemed very reasonable. He lacked the confidence to refute him directly and could only save face by joking and acting coquettishly?
Xie Tingyue suddenly felt guilty.
Patients were always sensitive and thoughtful, he shouldn’t be like this.
“How is that possible? I just came out to see how the environment was, and I was going to call you right away.” Xie Tingyue lied without blinking an eye, with a righteous expression on his face.
Chu Mu smiled.
This smile, was like the clouds and mist dispersing, and the spring light shining brightly, “Seriously?”
“Seriously!”
“Madam, please remember what you said…” There was no one else in the carriage, and Chu Mu slumped over like a boneless person, resting his head on Xie Tingyue’s thigh. “I woke up suddenly and felt a little dizzy. Let me lean on you for a while.”
Xie Tingyue’s body stiffened slightly, but he didn’t push Chu Mu away.
He could tell that the other person was really uncomfortable.
You’re not feeling well… Why are you still coming?
Can’t you cherish your body a bit!
This person really needed to be taken care of.
Xie Tingyue let out a faint sigh.
He had a plan for marrying into the Chu family and Chu Mu had given him a lot of surprises. He didn’t care about shielding him from the wind and rain or making a tiger-skin banner for him. As long as he had some conscience, he should give back to the other party, give him as much care and concern as possible.
**********
The newlyweds are here!
As soon as the person in front reported the news, Xie Liangbei couldn’t sit still. He stood up with a joyful expression and rubbed his hands excitedly, “My virtuous Son-in-law has come in person! No, I have to go to the door to welcome him!”
After he said this, he lifted the corner of his robe and walked outside and at the same time also instructed Madam Lin, “You can order good tea from the kitchen and bring more charcoal pots. Don’t let Young Master Chu freeze.”
Madam Lin’s face was as dark as muddy water, almost smashing the teacup in her hand.
Chu Mu actually came again in person! What a big face that bastard has!
Glancing out the window, she couldn’t help but glance at her husband’s hurried departure. You are the Father-in-Law, he is the Son-in-Law, lower in seniority. Even if you are in such a hurry, you are not afraid of being laughed at by others!
As soon as the carriage of the Chu family arrived at the door and the curtains were lifted, Xie Tingyue saw his Father standing in front with a smile on his face, without even looking at him. He bowed to Chu Mu and said, “My Son-in-Law has come so dearly, my humble abode is full of glory. You are not in good health, my Second Son should prioritize your overall well-being, but he still pestered you to come back home with him. It was really unreasonable.”
Chu Mu was helped out of the carriage by Qin Ping and Xie Tingyue, got into a wheelchair, straightened his clothes, and just bowed back, saying, “It’s the right thing for this Son-in-Law to pay homage to his Father-in-Law . It’s not hard work, please no need to accommodate us.”
Two people, one Father-in-law and one Son-in-law, one standing and one sitting, one older and one younger, both with smiles on their faces, the former should have a superior aura, but for some reason, the performance of these two… was conflicting.
If it weren’t for his personal involvement, Xie Tingyue would have almost suspected that this was not a meeting between in-laws, but rather a meeting between a lower official and a higher official.
“It’s windy outside, if we have something to say, let’s talk at home, let’s go, come in!”
Xie Liangbei enthusiastically led the way, and while inviting Chu Mu in, he quietly pulled his Son from behind, lowered his voice and said with a meaningful expression, “Isn’t this quite obedient and sensible of you?”
He knew how to win over his husband and seek benefits for his own family.
Xie Tingyue’s eyes drooped slightly and his voice was also very low, “Father, this Son has always been obedient and well-behaved, but I don’t know why Father keeps misunderstanding me.”
What’s the misunderstanding? Who misunderstood you?
Xie Liangbei was taken back.
Unfortunately, with a guest in front, he didn’t have much time to think about it. He could only smile again and chat with Chu Mu.
After entering the door, serving tea, and making interesting and funny remarks to liven up the atmosphere, Xie Liangbei let out a long sigh after completing a round of “warming up” process: “The day before yesterday, there was a small accident on my way to see off the wedding. I was worried that the omen was bad and my in-laws would mind. I can’t believe that I have judged a gentleman’s heart by a villain’s heart. Today, my wise Son-in-Law expressed his attitude in person, which shows the family tradition of my in-laws.”
“That wasn’t a small accident the day before yesterday,” Xie Tingyue interrupted the conversation and ruthlessly poured a basin of cold water on him.
Chu Mu didn’t mind the interruption at all, he just held the cup and drank the fragrant tea.
“Since Father has mentioned this, I have someone here that I must report.” Xie Tingyue glanced vaguely at Madam Lin and waved his hand, “Bring him in!”
A rather greasy-looking man with big shoulders, a round waist, and a mole at the corner of his mouth, was escorted in and pushed to kneel on the ground.
Xie Liangbei had no idea what was happening at all, and was about to get angry when he saw Chu Mu, holding a cup of tea like a gentleman, calm as a bamboo and an orchid. Feeling that he couldn’t lose, he reached out his hand to stroke his beard, put on an inscrutable expression, and remained silent.
Madam Lin’s eyebrows twitched fiercely when she saw Ma San being brought in.
The day before yesterday, when Xie Tingyue smoothly entered the door of the Chu family and married Chu Mu, she felt that something was wrong and sent people to look for Ma San but failed. She realized that something had happened. Best scenario was that Ma San had run away with the money. She treated it as a waste of money and thought in the wrong direction. She messed up the matter and Ma San was caught.
The worst outcome was that Ma San was caught by Xie Tingyue, and Xie Tingyue knew everything.
But on that day, when Xie Tingyue got married, it should be… even if he was lucky, he shouldn’t have so much time?
No matter how she thought about it, she thought it was impossible, but the reality was such a slap on her face. Ma San was escorted back by this bitch Xie Tingyue and even came to her door!
Madam Lin has always had a deep mind and could still steadily hold herself. Wang Momo, standing next to her, seemed to have seen a ghost. This..this..this.. How could this be possible?
Xie Tingyue smiled slightly and gave a sneer to Ma San, “Tell us about it!”
Ma San’s flesh tightened.
He didn’t have any moral integrity and was open-minded when it came to money. He only talked business with Madam Lin and didn’t have a deep friendship with her. In addition, after his ‘experiences’ in the past two days, he dared not hide anything, so he just spilled the beans.
“Just… someone gave me a large sum of money, saying that it’s an easy job, that I could take advantage of it, and asked me to wait on the way to the wedding of your family’s Second Young Master, to make… some trouble.”
Xie Liangbei looked solemn and asked, “What was it that you were to do?”
“Fuck your Son!” Ma San wanted to give himself some face and say it in a subtle way, but the other person didn’t understand human language, so he had to come out and say it directly. “She said that I don’t need to worry about anything else. When we arrive at the location and time, your family’s Second Young Master will be having trouble – he won’t be able to control himself, so I can play with him however I want.”
With a loud ‘pop’, the lid of the teacup in Chu Mu’s hand fell onto the teacup.
Ma San was startled and looked up to see Chu Mu’s face. He choked in fear and his voice dropped visibly, “Who would have thought… the Second Young Master didn’t even have any problems at all. It was so chaotic at the time, and he even jumped off the sedan chair and ran all the way towards Young Master Chu – I, I was fucking deceived!”
“I used to wonder why Ma San was so sure that something would happen to me.,” Xie Tingyue looked at Xie Liangbei quietly. “It wasn’t until I heard that the little yellow dog in my yard spent the whole day with other dogs on the day I got married… that I remembered that a bowl of sweet soup had been placed on my table that day.”
“I was busy preparing to get married, and some things were inconvenient, not to mention food, I didn’t even dare to take a sip of water. When the bowl of sweet soup arrived, the little yellow dog came over and looked at me. I thought it looked pitiful, so I gave all the bowl of soup.”
“Fortunately, I gave it.”
There was medicine in the soup, it was not fatal, it would only aroused emotions. It didn’t matter if the dog messed up, but if it were a human, it would be a big deal.
Xie Liangbei’s face visibly turned black. Turning to look at Chu Mu again, the latter’s spring-like smile had already faded away, showing great displeasure.
Who should be held accountable for such an incident?
Sweet soup… in the kitchen….
It was definitely right to find the person in charge.
Xie Liangbei immediately slammed the table and scolded Madam Lin, “What’s going on, you tell me!”
I hope she gets thrown in a fire 🤷🏼♀️
Disgusting scums deserves slap slap! <(｀^´)>
