Chapter 114

These sweet, flattering words are not only enjoyed by women, but men like to hear them too.

The smile at the corners of Su Qingwan’s mouth deepened as he happily embraced her.

The next day was the day for the newlyweds to visit the bride’s family. Since they had simply slept the night before, the young couple got up early to dress and groom themselves.

After breakfast, Mu Xuan’s group saw them off outside the mansion, checking for any oversights. Mu Xuan gave Lu Yuner a few more reminders.

Moments later, Lu Yuner and Su Qingwan set off in a carriage towards the Yun Qinwang’s mansion, bringing the prepared gifts for the visit.

Mu Xuan stood with hands behind his back, gazing gently at the departing carriage. He sighed with relief, “We’ve done our duty as elders for Yuner’s marriage. Now that she’s married, we’ve fulfilled Lu jiejie’s wishes. It’s time for us to return home.”

Ye Cen’s eyes curved in a smile as she nodded in agreement, “Yes, it’s time to go back.”

Before, Yuner was alone in the capital without a caring man by her side. Now it’s better – she has such a sensible and obedient Qingwan to keep her company, so she’s no longer lonely.

Even if she encounters any injustice in officialdom, Yun Qinwang will protect her no matter what, so they can be completely at ease.

So the couple entered the mansion and began packing, planning to return to Jinling Prefecture after the bride’s family visit was over.

In the spacious carriage, Su Qingwan affectionately held Lu Yuner’s arm, their fingers tightly interlocked, feeling the warmth of her palm tickling his skin.

He pressed his body close to hers, turning his face to gaze at her intently with bright eyes. His mind automatically recalled the wedding night – the sight of Elder Sister Yun breathlessly lying on top of him. He would never forget it for the rest of his life.

Those alluring, clear peach blossom eyes gradually became hazy, all the intimacy shifting from gentle like a soft breeze to fierce like a raging storm.

The rain hadn’t stopped, the sounds unceasing.

The rain had stopped, but bodies were still wet.

He wanted to be close to Elder Sister Yun, and even more so wanted to bear her child soon. After all, the contents of that letter at Yuanruo Temple ultimately meant forging an unbreakable connection between Elder Sister Yun and this place.

The most unbreakable bond in this world is that of blood. So bearing a child for her soon was what he desired.

Moreover, Elder Sister Yun had told him about the heart disease and nightmares that plagued her on Qingming Festival. Now these strange symptoms were slowly disappearing, and he realized this had a lot to do with Elder Sister Yun becoming willing to stay.

In any case, having children had become his main goal now. After today’s family visit, he would cling to her and try all the methods from that “Art of the Bedchamber” book, no matter what.

His passionate gaze was too scorching for Lu Yuner to ignore.

She turned to meet his smiling round eyes, but his eager intentions were all too obvious, as if written all over his face.

After all, he was someone who couldn’t hide his thoughts. Even if he tried to conceal them, he wasn’t good at acting or deceiving.

Lu Yuner raised an eyebrow slightly, caressing the back of his hand with her fingertips. Her tone was gentle yet meaningful: “As the saying goes: Good wine should not be overindulged. The same applies to bedroom pleasures. Does Qingwan understand?”

“Qingwan understands.” Su Qingwan’s eyelashes fluttered as he rested his head on her shoulder, appearing docile like a little bird. But a hint of craftiness flashed in his eyes.

Even if he understood, he could still pretend to be confused later. After all, Elder Sister Yun couldn’t bear to see him cry. As long as he cried, Elder Sister Yun would surely feel distressed and be unable to refuse him.

The Lu mansion was indeed bestowed by the Emperor, and not far from Yun Qinwang’s mansion – only a few streets away.

Soon the carriage passed through the bustling streets and arrived at Yun Qinwang’s mansion. Today was the day for the newlyweds to visit, and Chen Si was already waiting. As soon as the carriage stopped, she ordered the servants to welcome the guests and take their things.

Chen Si looked at the young prince who had returned after marriage, feeling happy yet emotional.

The young prince was now married, leaving Qinghua Courtyard empty with no one living there. The whole mansion seemed less lively.

As a mother, Yun Qinwang knew that grown boys eventually marry and leave. But since the day the young prince married and left, Yun Qinwang had been staying in Qinghua Courtyard. She knew how much Yun Qinwang missed the young prince.

Unable to see the person, one can only reminisce through objects!

Today the young prince returned for a visit, and Yun Qinwang’s face clearly showed undisguised joy.

After Lu Yuner and Su Qingwan entered Yun Qinwang’s mansion, they first went to pay respects to Yun Qinwang. The arrival of the newlyweds brought a cheerful, festive atmosphere to the usually solemn and austere mansion.

Su Bai appeared stern, but was actually soft-hearted. Especially after resolving misunderstandings with Su Qingwan, she seemed much gentler.

Just seeing them return lifted her mood. Given it was their honeymoon period, she only chatted briefly with the young couple. After completing the ancestral hall worship, she let them wander the mansion on their own, while instructing preparations for the evening meal.

Although Lu Yuner had visited Yun Qinwang’s mansion several times before, it was always for official business, so she only briefly appreciated the scenery.

This time, however, Su Qingwan held Lu Yuner’s hand with a blissful expression. He could finally openly bring Elder Sister Yun back to Qinghua Courtyard.

As Lu Yuner looked at the familiar Qinghua Courtyard, she pondered and calculated that she had only been here three times. The first time was to bring the sick Qingwan back to Qinghua Courtyard. The second time was to make Qingwan take medicine. The third time was on the eve of their wedding.

But each visit left a deep impression on her.

After Su Qingwan brought Lu Yuner into the room, Xiao Yuan and Qiu Yi consciously waited outside.

“Yun Niang, please wait here for me a moment.” Su Qingwan asked Lu Yuner to sit and rest while he walked towards the inner room.

As they were now husband and wife, there was nothing improper about being alone together. Seeing that he seemed to have something to do, she sat quietly waiting for him.

While waiting idly, Lu Yuner raised her eyes to survey the room’s furnishings again. It still had the same cozy, youthful style as before.

After a short while, she heard movement behind her. Lu Yuner turned to look and saw Su Qingwan carrying some familiar items.

Lu Yuner’s gaze focused as she recognized the objects in his arms.

“Yun Niang, do you remember these?” Su Qingwan carefully placed the items on the table.
