They've all separated, so what does it matter to me if they get poorer and poorer?

Chapter 447 Reunion

Xu Zhichun's face flushed, and she lowered her eyes to avoid his overly intense gaze.

The man's low chuckle was so close, his calloused fingers gently stroking her face. He was delighted and relieved: "You've finally come."

The worry and longing that followed their separation surged up like a tidal wave. Xu Zhichun couldn't help but hug him tightly, leaning against his chest and whispering, "Yes, now that we're finally here, nothing else will happen, right?"

"No, never again."

Xu Zhichun looked up, the two smiled at each other, and couldn't help but kiss.

A long-lost yet familiar feeling swept over him, his heart raced, his body went limp, and even his soul seemed to soften. Liang Minglang suddenly picked her up and carried her to the bed.

After a passionate and intimate lovemaking session, Xu Zhichun's body was so weak that she didn't want to move at all. The man, his eyes full of satisfaction, steadily got dressed, stood up, and called for water.

Xu Zhichun's face flushed, her slender hand weakly covering her eyes, and she hurriedly whispered to Liang Minglang, "Don't let the nannies come in."

She can't see anyone other than him right now.

"I know, you want to take a bath, right? I'll go get some water."

"Ah."

Liang Minglang smiled, lifted the curtain of the partition, and went out to fetch water.

Granny Qin Qing was overjoyed, beaming from ear to ear. She quickly and cheerfully said that there was plenty of hot water in the kitchen, and the master could use it as he pleased.

Even from a great distance, Xu Zhichun could hear Granny Qin Qing's laughter.

Xu Zhichun: "."

The old woman was even happier than she was.

After cleaning up and feeling refreshed, the two lay down again and began to talk.

When we meet again after a long separation, we have so much to say.

Liang Minglang was very concerned about how things were at home, and whether the Qi, Zeng, and Dou families had caused any trouble or difficulties after they parted ways. Xu Zhichun brushed it off lightly, saying that everything had turned out alright, and there was no need to emphasize anything. In fact, it sounded like a valuable life experience.

She was very interested in and curious about Liang Minglang's experiences, and asked him many questions.

Liang Minglang also had many close calls and moments where he was on the verge of death, but he felt there was no need to tell her about them to scare her, so he downplayed them as well.

Even so, it was enough to surprise and amaze Xu Zhichun.

After all, these things were like two different worlds to her.

Liang Minglang smiled wryly, a helpless chuckle escaping his lips. His wife's interest in these things was quite unexpected.

"By the way, two days before we boarded the ship, we encountered a group of people who were preparing to go to the capital to seek refuge with the Rong'an Marquis's mansion. I asked around and found out that Madam Bai is the younger sister of the Rong'an Marquis's wife. She brought her two children to the capital to visit her sister. She was incredibly arrogant. She entered the inn a step later than us and forced us to give up our superior rooms."

Liang Minglang's eyes were filled with coldness: "And then?"

"Of course I wouldn't allow it!" Xu Zhichun laughed. "That steward had quite the airs, using the Rong'an Marquis's mansion to intimidate people right from the start. He must have enjoyed the benefits of that all along the way. Unfortunately for him, he ran into me. He deserved his bad luck. Later, his family was unwilling to accept it and kept causing trouble, so I had Brother Yu and the others teach them a lesson."

Anyway, they'll inevitably have to face the Rong'an Marquis's mansion after they enter the capital, so there's no need to hold back from the start.

Liang Minglang gently patted her: "They need to be taught a lesson."

Xu Zhichun: "Tell me about the Rong'an Marquis's residence, okay?"

"Um"

Because he had promised the original owner to take revenge, Liang Minglang had specially collected a lot of information about the Rong'an Marquis's mansion. His words were substantial and all useful information, which Xu Zhichun listened to intently.

Even when I was engrossed in the music, my body couldn't take it anymore. As I listened, I felt dizzy, my eyelids kept drooping, and I kept yawning.

Upon seeing this, Liang Minglang smiled and said, "Go to sleep first, we can talk about it tomorrow."

"Okay, sure."

Xu Zhichun nodded. She felt like she had forgotten to tell him something important, but she was too sleepy at the moment, and her mind was a complete mess. No matter how hard she tried, she couldn't remember.

She had no choice but to give up.

Let's talk about it tomorrow. This last bit of strength gave way, and almost instantly I drifted off to sleep, breathing evenly and sleeping soundly.

Liang Minglang looked down at the woman in his arms, his eyes gentle, his slender fingers lightly stroking her cheek. He couldn't help but lower his head and kiss her again before finally holding her contentedly and falling asleep.

The next morning, Liang Mingxuan learned that his older brother had arrived. Overjoyed, he ran up to him and called out, "Big Brother!"

Liang Minglang was also happy and patted him on the shoulder: "You've grown taller and stronger."

He looks more like a scholar now.

He felt inferior to them in this respect.

Liang Mingxuan said, as if taking credit, "I practice boxing every day without fail."

So he grew taller and stronger.

Liang Minglang was even more pleased, "He's truly my brother; he learns everything so quickly."

When Lu Yin came out of the room and saw Liang Minglang, her eyes widened suddenly and she froze for a moment.

Why is he here? When did he arrive?
With his keen senses, Liang Minglang immediately turned his head and stared at Lu Yin, his sharp gaze almost piercing her.

Lu Yin was startled and hurriedly looked away, her heart pounding wildly.

This man is still as terrifying as ever.
She even found it unbelievable that she had the courage to save him in the first place.
Xu Zhichun, who had just arrived, happened to see this scene. She slapped her head in frustration and said that she had overlooked something important!

She had completely forgotten to tell Liang Minglang about Lu Yin last night.

Seeing that she seemed to be in a bad mood, Liang Minglang became anxious and quickly went over to her, holding her hand in his palm and explaining, "I don't know that person at all. I wasn't looking at her just now. I was only looking at you."

Xu Zhichun smiled and said, "Alright, no need to say anything more. I believe you. Let's talk about it after we get in the carriage."

Liang Minglang was relieved and nodded with a smile: "Okay."

There were no servants in the carriage, and Xu Zhichun was held in her husband's lap, making it easier to talk about secrets. So she did not refuse and whispered about Lu Yin's background and true identity.

Liang Minglang: "."

It wasn't a bolt from the blue; it was more like utter astonishment.

"No wonder."

No wonder Lu Yin had that expression when she saw him.

So she was actually Madam Xu.

This matter was too mysterious, and Liang Minglang felt a little dizzy and uneasy.

After all, they are acquaintances, or even family members.

But he soon came to terms with it.

Xu himself has accepted the facts, so what else is there for him to be conflicted about?
His wife is Zhichun, and has nothing to do with Lu Yin.

It would be even better if Lu Yin could also go to the capital with them.

"By the way, Ji Yingxuan is also in the capital. Perfect timing."

"what?"

"The Emperor valued him and summoned him to the capital. When the imperial edict reached the Ji family in Jinling, he happened to be at home and had no choice but to come. He is now the Right Vice Minister of the Ministry of Personnel."

Xu Zhichun laughed and said, "That's quite a coincidence, a perfect coincidence."

"Who says it isn't?"

Liang Minglang smiled, quite satisfied.

With Lu Yin here, Ji Yingxuan will no longer be keeping an eye on his wife.

Otherwise, he would still mind a little.
