This made Yan Yufang extremely happy; she had finally seen the light at the end of the tunnel.

Tang Fan saw the table full of dishes, all of which were his favorites, so he sat down first, and Yan Yufang sat down opposite him.

Yan Yufang poured him a glass of wine and placed a piece of food in his bowl. Tang Fan picked up the glass and drank it all in one gulp.

"Yufang, we've been arguing for so many years, and I'm really tired of it. I've already explained it to you. I'm only helping them out of consideration for our past relationship; I have no other intentions."

If you keep bringing this up, we really can't go on like this. It's better to break up sooner rather than later.

"My husband, I know I'm petty, so petty that you only have eyes for me and a heart for me, and I can't stand you being nice to other women."

These past two months have been very sweet for us, and they have been the happiest and most blissful time of my life.

Xiao Qingyue's appearance terrified me; I was afraid she would take you away.

You should have told me when she came to you, instead of hiding it from me.

You know I'm petty and prone to overthinking, but have you ever considered that if I find out about this, the outcome might be worse than if you told me?

These days I've been reflecting on myself and I realize I did go a bit too far.

I should understand my husband's difficulties. What he did shows his loyalty and righteousness, and makes him even more worthy of my lifelong commitment. I have no regrets about marrying him.

Xiao Qingyue also had a hard time. How could a woman with a child, all alone and helpless, survive in this world?

My dear husband, don't worry. I won't be unreasonable anymore. I just want to live happily with you like before.

"From now on, my husband can focus on his work without worry. I will visit and take care of my wife and daughter often."

Tang Fan stared at Yan Yufang in disbelief. He was shocked to hear her say such things. Was this her true feeling or was there some kind of conspiracy?

"Why are you looking at me like that, my husband? Did I say something wrong?"

"No, I was overthinking it. I shouldn't have kept it from you in the first place. If I had told you the truth, you wouldn't have made wild guesses. I was wrong."

Yu Fang, believe me, you are my wife, and you are the only one in my heart. Xiao Qingyue is a thing of the past. After all, I once loved her. Now that she is in trouble, she has come to me for help. As a man, I cannot remain indifferent and cannot watch her fall into the fire again.

I bought that little courtyard for 200 taels of silver. It was for her. I told her that this was all I could help her with, and she would have to rely on herself for the rest of the journey. It was a way of making up for what I owed her back then.

Xiao Qingyue has had a tough time these past few years, and she has never contacted me because she didn't want to cause me any trouble. This time, she is truly desperate.

You don't need to worry about them. You can only manage them for a short time, not forever. She'll eventually stand up for herself. We just need to make sure they, mother and daughter, aren't bullied.

After listening to Tang Fan's heartfelt words, Yan Yufang was already in tears. It turned out that her husband had always cared about her, and that she had been the one was wasting their relationship. If her husband were truly such a heartless person, they would have broken up long ago.

"Husband, I'm sorry. I've been so immature all these years. I've been arguing with you all this time. I promise I'll live a good life with you from now on. You must tell me anything that happens to you. We're husband and wife, and we can't keep things from each other anymore, or I'll start overthinking."

"As long as you explain it to me clearly, as a woman myself, I can understand her suffering."

Tang Fan took her hand and said, "Yu Fang, let's live a good life together and raise our children to be successful. I will work hard to build up a family fortune for them. Once they are all married and have established their own careers, I may leave officialdom and take you to see the vast land of the Great Sheng Dynasty."

Yan Yufang was deeply moved, and tears streamed down her face like broken pearls.

"Why are you crying again?"

Tang Fan took out his handkerchief and wiped away her tears. "You won't be pretty if you keep crying. Look how red your eyes are."

This handkerchief was embroidered by you. I always carry it with me so that it will constantly remind me that you are my wife.

"Hurry up and eat, the food's getting cold. I've had a long day at the government office, I'm exhausted."

"Okay, eat more. After you finish eating, I'll give you a shoulder massage to help you relax."

"it is good."

The two of them enjoyed the meal immensely, constantly putting food on each other's plates, their relationship radiating a subtle, romantic tension.

"Madam, I still have some official business to attend to. Please go back to your room and rest."

"Alright, I'll wait for you, my husband."

The meal was finally over, and Tang Fan felt as if a huge burden had been lifted off his shoulders. Facing Yan Yufang, he felt utterly powerless. He hoped that this time she could truly understand and wasn't just going through the motions.

He stayed in the study for a while, then returned to the bedroom. "Master, you're done with your work. The bathroom is ready with hot water. Go and take a shower to relax. Your clothes are all prepared."

Tang Fan went to take a shower. Yan Yufang smelled her own body; there was a faint floral fragrance. Her husband would surely like it. She lay on the bed, quietly waiting for him to return.

When Tang Fan came out of the shower, he saw that the bed curtains had been drawn in the dim candlelight of the bedroom, and Yan Yufang was lying on her side there.

"Husband, you're done washing up. Come on up, let me give you a shoulder massage."

"it is good."

Tang Fan lifted the bed curtains and got into bed. Sitting on the bed, Yan Yufang knelt behind Tang Fan, massaging his shoulders gently. "Husband, is this pressure comfortable?"

"Very good."

As Yan Yufang kneaded, she placed her hand on his chest and slowly caressed it, saying, "My husband's heart is beating so fast."

Tang Fan pulled her into his arms with his right hand, and held her head steadily with his left hand. "Their eyes met, and their eyes were filled with tender affection."

The two lingered for a long time, and finally Tang Fan held her as she fell into a deep sleep. When Yan Yufang opened her eyes in the morning, she found that Tang Fan was no longer there. "Huan'er, what time is it now?"

"Madam, it is now the hour of Si (9-11 AM)."

"It's so late, why didn't you wake me up?"

"When the master left, he instructed me not to wake the madam, saying that she should sleep until she woke up on her own."

Upon hearing this, Yan Yufang blushed.

"Madam, you look great today. Let me do your hair and makeup."

"Give me a nice hair accessory; I'm going to see Madam Xu later."

The servants in the mansion breathed a sigh of relief when they saw that the madam was in a better mood. They had been living in fear these past few days, afraid of accidentally offending the madam and being punished. They only hoped that the master would pamper the madam every day so that their lives as servants could be easier.

The lady's mood was entirely influenced by the master's attitude; life was tough for them, the servants!

Yan Yufang tidied her makeup, prepared some gifts, and went to the Xu residence with Huan'er.

When Wang Zhilan saw Yan Yufang, she noticed that her makeup was exquisite and her complexion was rosy. Unlike her previous lifeless and absent-minded appearance, she no longer had the expression of a resentful woman, but instead exuded gentleness and elegance.

"Madam Tang looks quite well today. Could it be that she has been favored by Magistrate Tang?"

My sister would make fun of me.

I came here specifically to thank you, sister. If it weren't for you, my husband and I would probably still be arguing!

"Yufang, we've known each other for so many years, and you know Tang Fan's temperament to some extent. Since he's able to reconcile with you, it means he still has feelings for you. Don't do anything foolish again. If you miss this opportunity, there probably won't be another one. I really can't help you."

"Don't worry, sister. My husband and I have already agreed that there won't be a next time."

My husband said that I am his wife, and that I am the only one in his heart. He also said that after our children are grown up and have their own families, he will take me to see the vast land of the Great Sheng Dynasty.
