All of this naturally fell into the eyes of Xiao Bojian, who was not far away. His eyes were filled with unconcealable shock.

He never thought that Chu Lian, who had promised to marry him before marriage, would now hug another man's arm in front of him and smile coquettishly. She even looked like she was completely dependent on him. The huge psychological gap made Xiao Bojian's expression even more unsightly.

At this time, He Changdi also reacted. Even though the soft arms hugging his arm made him feel uncomfortable and made him want to pull this damned woman away in the next second, Chu Lian hugged him so tightly that he couldn't pull away.

Separated by more than ten steps, the two men stared at each other for a few seconds. The air seemed to explode with sparks. In the end, it was He Sanlang who looked away first.

He was no longer as flustered as he was when Chu Lian hugged his arm. Instead, he had regained his icy expression. He turned his head slightly and lowered his eyes. The corner of his mouth had a trace of ridicule and ridicule as he stared at Chu Lian, as if asking her for a reasonable explanation.

Now, Chu Lian had completely reacted. She thought about the timing of He Sanlang's appearance and noticed the disdain in his eyes. She couldn't help but feel a headache coming on. He must have seen Xiao Bojian suddenly appear and pester her.

However, Chu Lian believed that she was very innocent. She didn't do anything wrong, so naturally, she was in the right.

Chu Lian boldly met his gaze. Her bright eyes not only didn't have the slightest trace of guilt, timidity, or fear, but also a trace of rebuke and coquettishness.

Being stared at by her innocent big eyes, he felt an inexplicable sense of guilt. He felt guilty for not stopping Xiao Bojian earlier when she was being put in a difficult position by Xiao Bojian.

At this time, Xiyan had already run to her young miss' side.

He Changdi was stunned by Chu Lian's gaze at first, then his expression darkened.

This … this vicious woman was simply overturning the heavens!

She was completely inverting black and white!

He Sanlang couldn't be more sullen. Right now, he wanted to expose this vicious woman. She was hugging his arm and looking so affectionate. Anyone who saw this scene would never believe it.

Sister-in-law Rong's chief maidservant, Xin 'er, who had gone to the East Striding Courtyard to get the ointment, finally rushed over.

Seeing Xiao Bojian in the pavilion in the backyard, she jumped in fright and immediately looked for Chu Lian. Seeing Chu Lian standing a dozen steps away with He Changdi by her side, Qin 'er let out a long sigh of relief. It was good that the sixth son-in-law was here.

If the newly married Sixth Young Miss and Young Master Xiao spread any gossip, what would happen!

Qin 'er didn't dare to delay and hurriedly walked over to Chu Lian. "Sixth Miss, Sixth Son-in-law. This is the snow cream from First Grandma. Sixth Miss, quickly apply it."

Xiyan took the ointment from Qin 'er and lifted up Chu Lian's slightly long sleeves. She gently applied the translucent, milky white ointment to a blister on the back of Chu Lian's tender hand.

The blisters hurt a little when they touched them. Chu Lian shrunk back reflexively and frowned slightly.

Xiyan was so distressed that she was about to cry. "Sixth Miss, please bear with it. It will be over soon."

He Sanlang stood beside Chu Lian. Naturally, he caught a glimpse of Chu Lian's scalded hand from the corner of his eye. His brows furrowed without even realizing it.

After applying a thin layer of the snow cream, Chu Lian nonchalantly covered the blisters with her sleeves.

He Sanlang also shifted his gaze away uncomfortably.

Xiao Bojian, who was standing in the pavilion, hadn't left yet. He Changdi's expression suddenly changed. In an instant, he became a cultured and elegant handsome young master. "Young Master Xiao, it's such a coincidence to meet you here!"

This was the inner residence of the Ying Public House. Outsiders were rarely allowed to enter the inner residence. He Changdi's words were full of sarcasm.

Xiao Bojian didn't reply. His gaze fell on Chu Lian for a moment. It was dark and gloomy, making Chu Lian feel oppressed. Then, Xiao Bojian cupped his fists at He Changdi. The corners of his mouth curved up at a strange angle. It seemed like he was mocking her, but it also seemed like he was determined to win. After doing all this, he turned around without hesitation and disappeared into the garden of the Ying Public House.

Qin 'er was dumbfounded. Although she wanted to tell Eldest Sister-In-Law Rong about this, when she realized the cold gaze Xiao Bojian gave her before he left, she subconsciously decided to swallow what happened today.

Xiyan sensed that the atmosphere between Sixth Miss and Son-in-law wasn't right. She hurriedly interrupted, "It's time for lunch in the front courtyard."

Xiao Bojian finally left. Although the gaze he gave Chu Lian at the end made her feel extremely uncomfortable, she would be living in Count Jing 'an's estate in the future. The two of them wouldn't have any more interactions, so she didn't have to worry about it for now.

The arm that was still hugging Xiao Bojian loosened a little. Xiao Bojian sensed the change in Chu Lian and forcefully flung Chu Lian's arm away. He snorted coldly, then bent down and whispered into Chu Lian's ear in a voice that only the two of them could hear, "Wife, what exactly happened today? When we get back, I want you to give me a good explanation!"

He purposely dragged out the words' explain ', and it sounded like he was threatening her.

Chu Lian wailed in her heart. How was she supposed to explain that Xiao Bojian came looking for her of his own accord …

She didn't want this to happen!

After that, it was time to accompany the elders of the Ying Public House for lunch. The men and women sat separately. On He Sanlang's side, the old Duke of Ying personally accompanied him to drink. On Chu Lian's side, things were much more casual.

Eldest Sister-In-Law Rong took the lead and toasted Chu Lian. The rest of the time, they ate quietly.

Chu Lian wasn't familiar with the madams and young ladies of the Ying Public House, so she naturally had nothing to say.

It wasn't until close to evening that the young couple, He Sanlang and Chu Lian, were escorted out of the house by the servants of the Ying Public House.

Perhaps He Sanlang had really been angered by Xiao Bojian at noon, so he actually drank a little too much. Even now, the smell of alcohol had not completely dissipated.

Chu Lian was worried that He Sanlang would fall off the horse, so she let Lai Yue help He Sanlang up the carriage.

Seeing that Lai Yue had settled them down in the carriage, Chu Lian then followed him into the carriage.

The carriage began to move slowly on the spacious stone road.

Chu Lian stared at He Changdi, who was leaning against the wall of the carriage. His entire body reeked of alcohol, and it was so strong that Chu Lian couldn't help but pinch her nose and use her small hand to fan herself. Unexpectedly, He Sanlang suddenly opened his jet-black eyes. When she saw that his eyes were clear, he didn't look drunk at all.

She saw him curl up his good-looking thin lips, but the words that came out of his mouth were sarcastic. "What? You're disgusted with me just like that?

Are you still thinking of throwing me out on the streets so that Xiao Bojian can get on this carriage? "

Chu Lian furrowed her brows and looked at He Changdi's handsome but cold face. Then, she couldn't help but burst into laughter. She stretched out her fair little hand and lightly patted He Sanlang's stiff face. "Husband, you must be suffering from paranoia!

It's so funny. "
