Unexpectedly, there was an unexpected joy.

And this so-called unexpected joy was naturally Li Luo.

Not long ago, the two made a deal.

"I’m back!"

The horse stopped outside the yard, and Dong Huiying swiftly dismounted.

Yixuan turned slowly, scrutinizing the girl, with a faint smile: "It’s good you’re back."

Dong Huiying first rushed into the kitchen for a drink of water, then asked, "Where’s Shu Yu?"

The second lord had nothing to do all day, he was a lazybones. He and Shujun were truly a pair of twin brothers, just one a fairy, the other a demon.

Yixuan took a damp cloth and helped his wife clean her face. He originally thought that after being away for several days, even if she didn’t lose weight, she would at least be a bit sunburned. But seeing her condition was good, her complexion was excellent, and her skin was snow-white without any tan. Meanwhile, the nearby Yun Ge and others were somewhat tanned.

After finishing cleaning her face, Yixuan said, "Second Brother probably wanted to stretch his muscles a bit lately. He didn’t tell me, but I guess he found that everyone at home was busy, but he alone was idle. It made him uncomfortable."

Dong Huiying: "Pfft!"

She burst out laughing and casually took the fruit platter Yixuan handed over, picking up a bunch of grapes and began eating.

"I really don’t believe what you’re saying. Our second lord doesn’t have such awareness."

That lazy nature, if he had that ambition, he would have been busy long ago, no need to wait until now.

But thinking about it, perhaps because there’s a significant threat looming, even I can sense the danger from Dajin’s side, not to mention the sharp-minded second lord.

Yixuan cast a subtle glance at Dong Huiying, "Every time you call Second Brother ’Second Lord,’ Yixuan always feels like Second Brother has an extra backup."

Dong Huiying paused: "I’m just teasing. It’s similar to a jest?"

Yixuan chuckled, and it was only then he noticed the Black Cloak walking in behind Yun Ge and the others.

"Who is this?"

Dong Huiying’s eyes lit up: "Oh, I almost forgot, this is Li Luo, whom we’ve met before. Before coming to Dongcui City, she followed Yan Xiyu and was Yan Xiyu’s maid."

Yixuan was momentarily stunned and, seeing Dong Huiying about to get up, hurriedly pressed her shoulder to keep her seated.

"Just sit, you must be tired after the journey back, take more rest."

Then he brewed a pot of tea for Dong Huiying.

Once Dong Huiying was settled, he looked at Li Luo again, and it was at this point that Li Luo removed her cloak, revealing a face that had been injured, with clothes underneath stained with a lot of blood.

Yixuan, meticulous by nature, instantly realized something.

"Since the wife brought this young lady back, for what reason?"

For what purpose?

He understood his wife’s nature, seeing her expression was like a small fox that had stolen some food, even with a hint of secret delight on her face, clearly spelling out three words: "Praise me!"

Dong Huiying finished the grapes and began munching on a pear with great enjoyment, occasionally calling Yun Ge and tossing a bunch of bananas towards Hong Fei and the rest.

"My luck is really too good, let Li Luo tell you. We had previously discussed the deep waters in Dongdi, right? Unable to find the clue before, but now, perhaps we can trace back to the source."

Li Luo was well-behaved, her gaze not daring to wander, feeling somewhat nervous inside.

Recalling earlier outside the city, she made a deal with this girl named Dong...
