Having just heard that the masters had started to get up, she came to serve, actually wanting to see if the master had a spring-like countenance, as she was still a bit worried in her heart.

Seeing Xiao Yuan waiting outside, though at some distance from the bridal chamber, Qiu Yi asked in confusion, “Xiao Yuan, why are you standing here?”

As she continued to walk forward, Xiao Yuan immediately stopped her, his face somewhat unnaturally red as he said embarrassedly, “Manager Qiu, it’s fine to wait here. If there’s anything needed, the bed bell will ring.”

Hearing this, Qiu Yi’s eyes moved. Xiao Yuan had been waiting here since last night, and his reaction just now clearly showed he knew something. She secretly rejoiced and stood beside him, quietly waiting without speaking.

Inside the bridal chamber.

“Wait for me a moment.” After the people left, Lu Yuner got up first without putting on clothes.

Su Qingwan obediently stayed in the blanket, watching the jade body moving before his eyes. Although they had already shared intimate skin contact, he was still very shy. He silently buried his little face in the wedding blanket, yet still exposed a pair of shy and adorable eyes watching her.

Seeing that her fair back still had a scar, remembering the scene of flesh torn open, he silently lowered his eyes.

He knew that whip lash was what Yun’er sister had taken for him. At that time, Sister Ling suddenly appeared, and he had applied medicine but hadn’t put on clothes, capriciously nestling in Yun’er sister’s arms.

The two of them didn’t know each other, and Sister Ling suddenly came with this whip. With Yun’er sister’s skills, she could have dodged, but she chose to take the lash to protect his body.

Even if Yun’er sister didn’t like him at that time, she still maintained her kindness and thought of others. With such charm, luckily she was his.

Lu Yuner picked a few roses with her hand and walked towards the bathtub, scattering them on the water surface and personally testing the water temperature, then carried Su Qingwan in her arms towards the screen.

The room was covered with soft carpets, and Lu Yuner felt especially comfortable walking barefoot on them as she entered the bathtub together with Su Qingwan.

The two sat facing each other, with warm water covering their shoulders, and countless rose petals floating on the steaming water surface.

Seeing this, Su Qingwan’s eyes instantly became bright and shiny. This romantic gesture was done by Yun’er sister, and his young male thoughts immediately arose. He couldn’t help but stretch out his thin, snow-white arms and happily started playing in the water.

Inadvertently, the clear splashes of water brought several red petals to land on his flawless white skin, like vibrant red plum blossoms fluttering onto a white snow surface in winter.

It was like a painting of a stunning beauty bathing, and the more she looked, the more she felt truly blessed.

However, the cinnabar mole on that delicate collarbone was gone, but it had been replaced with another mark she had personally made – Lu Yuner’s man.

Seeing that he still had energy and was playing happily, Lu Yuner smiled indulgently and moved back a bit, giving him space while quietly enjoying this moment of physical and mental pleasure.

Su Qingwan only played for a while. When he looked up and met Lu Yuner’s gentle and clean gaze, compared to the previous shallow coldness, it now seemed to be tinged with a hint of earthly warmth, especially those clear peach blossom eyes carrying a touch of lingering desire.

Su Qingwan smiled, curving his lips. Although they were a few steps apart, the rising mist was like a thin white gauze, vaguely separating the two like a dream.

After soaking in the hot water, her skin was now flushed all over, her eyes filled with smiles making her face extraordinarily lively.

His heart was beating particularly hard as he slowly moved towards Lu Yuner’s arms in the water, his face red. The ripples around them spread with his movement.

Recalling last night’s intimacy between man and woman, it was sweeter than sugar-coated candy.

“Yun Niang.” Su Qingwan lightly bit his lip, his hands entwining around her waist as he actively raised his blushing little face, gently kissing her neck, mumbling, “Yun Niang…”

Lu Yuner smiled without speaking. It was just a kiss.

Faced with Su Qingwan’s straightforward hint, Lu Yuner was already used to it, but last night they had carried on without rest until the early hours, and his body still bore many marks of their lovemaking. Although she had the strength, she didn’t want to hurt him again by indulging in more intimacy now.

Moreover, these matters should be done in moderation, otherwise excessive indulgence would harm the body.

Lu Yuner lifted his blushing face and touched the tear mole under his eye with her wet finger: “Ah Wan, we are already husband and wife, and we have a long future ahead of us. Besides, we still need to see Aunt and Uncle later. We can’t indulge anymore today.”

“Mm, Ah Wan understands.” Su Qingwan naturally understood, after all, there were elders in the mansion, and not getting up early to offer tea was already improper.

If they were to do it again, he didn’t know when they would be able to stop.

After bathing, they began to wash up and dress to meet the elders. Aunt and Uncle didn’t say anything, just smiled at the newlywed couple. After drinking tea contentedly, they began to busy themselves preparing for tomorrow’s return visit.

Mu Xuan and Ye Cen had considered that marrying the young master didn’t require any betrothal gifts, but after looking at the list of the young master’s dowry yesterday, they were too shocked to speak.

Indeed, being imperial relatives, Yun Qinwang was extremely generous, and especially doting on the young master. This dowry was enough to keep them free from worries about food and clothing for life, enjoying endless glory and wealth.

Although they couldn’t match Yun Qinwang’s financial strength, they still had to prepare the best gifts no matter what. It was a gesture of sincerity, at least to show Yun Qinwang how much they valued the young master and Lu Yuner’s sincerity.

As newlyweds, Lu Yuner and Su Qingwan couldn’t go out unless necessary for the next few days. Others had already had lunch, not because they didn’t want to wait for the newlyweds, but because they didn’t want to disturb the couple’s time together.

After all, they had just gotten married and were in the honeymoon phase, deeply in love with each other.

So after paying respects with tea, the two had lunch alone.

In the dining hall, the table was set with several fresh, nourishing dishes, all specially ordered by Ye Cen from the kitchen. After all, as experienced people, they understood everything – eat what should be eaten, nourish what should be nourished.

Xiao Yuan and Qiu Yi consciously stood waiting at a distance, both secretly watching the newlywed couple. Seeing the sweet scene of them occasionally feeding each other, their mouths unconsciously curved into smiles as they enjoyed the show.

After the meal, Lu Yuner took Su Qingwan for a stroll in the back garden. Although he had been here before, he hadn’t seen the Lu mansion since getting married.

Today the sun was bright, and it was just the end of spring and beginning of summer. The warm sunlight filled the entire courtyard, shining on the red silk hanging throughout the mansion, making it dazzling and brilliant. Everywhere was a scene of festivity.

At this time, Mu Yang and Juzi were playing on the lush green grass in the back garden. Juzi saw the newlywed couple and, with a wooden toy ball in its mouth, wagged its tail and ran quickly towards them, happily circling around and occasionally rubbing against their clothes.

Mu Yang smiled slightly and walked towards the newcomers.

Knowing that Juzi wanted her to play with it, Lu Yuner smiled and took the toy ball, wiped it with her sleeve, and handed it to Su Qingwan, saying softly, “Ah Wan, give it a try.”

Su Qingwan’s eyelashes fluttered slightly, his face showing delight. He took the toy ball from her hand and, remembering how Mu Yang had done it earlier, threw it hard into the distance, though not with greater strength. Seeing the ball fly through the air, Juzi excitedly ran quickly towards the toy ball.

Soon, Juzi happily returned with the toy ball in its mouth.

Mu Yang had played with it for several days and had developed some affection. He called out to Juzi, and Juzi obediently came to Mu Yang. He took the toy ball from its mouth.

Then Mu Yang smiled and respectfully bowed to the two, saying, “Elder Sister Yuner, Brother-in-law, congratulations on your marriage! We’ve played all morning, I’ll take Juzi back for a bath now, and won’t disturb you anymore!”

With that, he left with Juzi.

Lu Yuner’s eyes moved as if understanding something – they were making space for them! As for others, they also didn’t come to disturb the couple.

So she held Su Qingwan’s hand and continued to walk forward.

The Imperial Academy had already granted marriage leave, so without official business, the second day of their marriage was this leisurely.

After dinner, because they had to accompany Su Qingwan on the return visit tomorrow, Mu Xuan called Lu Yuner to the study to discuss matters, while Ye Cen took the opportunity to have a private conversation with Su Qingwan.

In the study, Mu Xuan sat upright in her chair, her expression slightly solemn, and handed the prepared gift list to Lu Yuner, “Yuner, take a look first.”

These days, all the affairs of the household were managed by Aunt and Uncle. Lu Yuner took it and opened it to look.

Mu Xuan spoke earnestly, “Since ancient times, in marriage, the woman’s family gives betrothal gifts, and the man’s family provides a dowry. This time, although Yuner doesn’t need to give betrothal gifts to marry Qingwan, he is after all a young master, and the dowry sent by Yun Qinwang are all valuable items.”

“Qingwan likes you, and Yun Qinwang only has one son. She didn’t make you marry into their family, clearly showing that Yun Qinwang dotes on Qingwan in every way. She only has one requirement for you, which is to treat Qingwan well.”

After reading the gift list, Lu Yuner’s expression was serious and she didn’t speak.

Mu Xuan continued, “Tomorrow when you accompany Qingwan on the return visit, bring all the return gifts we’ve prepared. Although they’re not priceless treasures, they represent our sincerity no matter what. Qingwan has married into our family, and from now on is a member of the Lu family. We also need to let his family know how much we value Qingwan.”

Lu Yuner’s eyelashes fluttered, “Yuner understands.”

Mu Xuan knew Lu Yuner’s character and didn’t need to worry about anything.

At this point, Mu Xuan smiled, her tone becoming relaxed, “Now that you’re married and have taken Qingwan as your husband, you two should support each other and live a good life together.”

“If you can have a few more children now, this family will be complete, and your uncle and I will be thoroughly reassured.”

Lu Yuner heard the meaning in her aunt’s words. Indeed, urging to have children right after marriage never goes out of style in any era.

But having children is a matter of letting nature take its course, though she could make an effort.

Meanwhile, Ye Cen’s conversation had Su Qingwan blushing red to his ears, undoubtedly about marital affairs and having children.

Regarding last night’s wedding night, Ye Cen asked some appropriately light questions, and Su Qingwan naturally answered truthfully without reservation.

However, they only chatted for a while before Lu Yuner was asked to take Su Qingwan back to their room.

After washing up, the two went to bed to rest. Since experiencing marital intimacy, Su Qingwan looked forward to the moments when they could be together after nightfall every day.

But because of tomorrow’s return visit, Lu Yuner had already agreed with Su Qingwan that they wouldn’t make love tonight, to avoid being late.

However, given the opportunity, Su Qingwan couldn’t help but cling to her. His restless fingers slowly moved up from her waist, stroking and touching the soft flesh at the back of her neck, then using his reddened fingertips to intentionally or unintentionally touch her sensitive ears.

Lu Yuner was uncomfortable with the tickling and reached out to grasp his mischievous hand, smiling helplessly, “Ah Wan, don’t tease. Rest early, we still have to accompany Ah Wan on the return visit tomorrow!”

Su Qingwan naturally understood but still pursed his lips, pretending to be unhappy, fully embodying the saying “a man who knows how to act coquettishly is the luckiest”.

Seeing him puffing his cheeks slightly, with a pair of pitiful puppy eyes looking at her, on this second day of marriage… it was indeed hard on him.

But yesterday was really… To avoid delaying matters, they could only temporarily be like this.

Lu Yuner held him in her arms and whispered in his ear. Su Qingwan’s fair face gradually turned red with embarrassment, a glint of smugness flashing in his eyes.
