When Jiang Chengli returned to the courtyard of the third room, he was still worried.

Qingxi Pavilion has always been his residence, but it was expanded before he got married to provide more space for the hostess Xu Wanying.

Before he left, his presence was everywhere here, but now that he's back, it's completely unrecognizable.

Every blade of grass and every tree here has a sense of strangeness, as if rejecting his entry.

"The Third Master is back." A servant recognized him and immediately ran back to inform others.

Xu Wanying was resting on a recliner. Upon hearing this, she stood up with great effort and went straight out to greet him.

"Husband, you're back. Are you tired?" She raised a smile and asked softly.

Jiang Chengli stopped and looked at her blankly, actually listening to her thoughts.

[Oh, Goddess, his return means my freedom is over.]

Sure enough, the emotion in Xu Wanying's heart was completely opposite to the smile on her face.

"It's okay, madam, what are you doing?" He originally wanted to find an excuse to leave quickly after meeting her, but seeing her in this state, he rarely had the urge to tease her, so he simply started to communicate with her in detail.

"Well, I sat in the car for too long today and felt a little uncomfortable, so I took a rest on the recliner." Xu Wanying hesitated for a moment before answering slowly.

[What's going on? How could he not know what I'm doing? I've been waiting for him for a long time, but even for something like going home, I need others to urge me. What on earth is he doing?! ]

"It's my fault. I made Madam too tired. Why don't you just let her rest and get some rest early today?" Jiang Chengli bowed to her solemnly with his fists clasped and performed a proper salute.

"Nothing. My husband has forgotten a lot of things and must be more tired. If you are not used to sleeping in the main courtyard, I have asked someone to clean up the study." Xu Wanying gave a special reminder.

The system, which had not dared to speak, heard this and immediately asked curiously: [Host, you were clamoring to have close contact with him in order to anger me before. Why did you waste such a good opportunity now and even took the initiative to ask him to sleep in the study? ]

It had been silent before because it didn't want to provoke Xu Wanying again. It was afraid that she would get angry and sleep in the same bed with Jiang Chengli. Then the loyal male No. 2 would be in trouble, which is absolutely a taboo.

[Heh, just to piss you off, I lie in bed with a strange man. Who are you trying to trouble? Compared to having a one-night stand with Duke Zhou, you are not even worthy of carrying Duke Zhou's shoes.]

Xu Wanying couldn't help but sneer. Although she was sitting this afternoon, she was huddled in the carriage and felt very uncomfortable. Moreover, she had to deal with the princess and Xing Xiaoya in the morning, and she was seriously exhausted. Now she just wanted to have a good rest and didn't want to be disturbed by anyone or anything.

[Humph, it sounds like you dislike him. Don't worry, Jiang Chengli is the most obedient dog around Xing Xiaoya. He will keep his distance from all women. Even without you telling him, he will sleep in the study! ]

The system was originally happy to hear that Xu Wanying wanted to avoid Jiang Chengli, but when it heard the impatience in Xu Wanying's tone, the system became dissatisfied.

[System, you are such a jerk! ] Xu Wanying said unhappily.

She was about to say something provocative to make the system regret it when she saw the man in front of her shaking his head.

"Madam, although there are many things I don't remember, but you are the third wife of our Jiang family who was married with three letters and six engagements, and you are also my wife. We are newlyweds, and I was not with you before. Now that we have returned home, how can we sleep in separate rooms? If it gets out, I am afraid it will damage Madam's reputation."

Jiang Chengli said solemnly.

He was really irritated by what the system said. What did it mean to be "the most obedient dog around Xing Xiaoya"? This was simply stepping on his sore spot repeatedly.

If it weren't for the existence of this system, which allowed Xu Wanying to speak freely, he would have killed this bastard long ago.

The Jiang family members all think that the system is a treasure and call it a magical tool all day long, but he doesn't care about it.

After all, he has experienced hundreds of lives and knows many plots. Even if there are some things he doesn't know, he doesn't care, because with Xing Xiaoya, the whole world is on her side, and even if he knows it, he is powerless to change it.

But when he heard Xu Wanying say that she saw him kill Xing Xiaoya twice, and Cen Ying heard it, and the mother and son could even discuss the matter openly, everything changed.

The existence of the system has become a vehicle for Xu Wanying to express her inner thoughts.

To him, Xu Wanying is the most important. Only she can see everything that has been erased by the world.

Before Xu Wanying could react to his words, the system started screaming at the top of its lungs.

[Ahhh, Jiang Laosan, you don't follow male ethics, you deserve to die! You are not allowed to do this, go to the study and sleep, Xiaoya is still waiting for you...]

The system is like Xianglin Sao, chattering all the time.

Xu Wanying was stunned for just a moment, then nodded in agreement, even with a somewhat happy smile on her face.

"Really? Husband, don't force yourself. You don't remember many things. You probably don't even remember our wedding. You must be uncomfortable staying in the room." She raised her head and looked at him, her eyes sparkling and her face full of anticipation.

[If you don’t shut up, I will really consummate my marriage with him.] Xu Wanying’s voice was unusually cold, and quite a direct threat.

[You can't! Host, you are a girl, you should be reserved. Okay?] The system's tone was very tough at first, but it softened later and began to persuade her in a gentle voice, obviously afraid that Xu Wanying would be angered and do something even more excessive.

Xu Wanying simply ignored it and focused on playing her role well.

Although Jiang Chengli had long seen her ability to be two-faced, he was still shocked to see her superb acting skills.

If he hadn't heard her inner thoughts clearly, he would have been completely unable to see through them.

He thought of himself as a Jinyiwei, able to see through the hearts and secrets of countless people, but facing Xu Wanying's impeccable state, he really couldn't find any loopholes at all.

"Although I have forgotten many things, I remember clearly the wedding ceremony with my wife. Let's go. It's getting late. Let's get settled." Jiang Chengli raised his hand as he spoke, as if he wanted to hold her hand and walk into the inner room together.

But when he was about to touch her, he suddenly changed direction and held her hand through her long sleeves.

Xu Wanying raised her eyebrows slightly and did not object to the placement he mentioned.

A man who has to use a sleeve to hold hands with her probably cannot do anything more intimate with her.

After they washed up, they lay down on the bed very peacefully.

The system was as quiet as a chicken at this moment, fearing that if it said something wrong, it would stimulate Xu Wanying to take the initiative to step forward and sleep with Jiang Chengli.
