Chu Lian saw that he was still in a daze and didn't respond. She was a little discouraged and said in a low voice, "But you can't blame me for this. Who asked you to grow a beard? You look like a completely different person. Not to mention me, even grandmother might not be able to recognize you!"

He Sanlang's ears were strong and his five senses were much stronger than ordinary people's. Even if Chu Lian muttered in a low voice, he would probably hear it.

He chuckled softly. She couldn't tell if he was happy or mocking her.

Chu Lian only heard him say, "So, you didn't recognize your husband or you are in the right?"

Chu Lian couldn't help but curse in her heart. Did this crazy bastard know how to speak? She had already put down her pride and apologized to him. Not only did he not say a word of forgiveness, he even mocked her.

Chu Lian had just calmed down when she was almost ignited by this bastard He Changdi again. She took a deep breath of cold air and forced herself to calm down.

"He Sanlang, do you feel uncomfortable if you don't argue with me?"

He Changdi was choked by her words and simply pursed his lips and remained silent.

Chu Lian rolled her eyes. What was going on? He Changdi was clearly a good-looking and caring man in the original book. Why did he become a cold stone who only knew how to bully people when she came?

God couldn't play tricks on her like this.

Chu Lian didn't want to continue this topic with him.

Chu Lian was a little worried when she thought of how he looked when he was poisoned and had a high fever.

She couldn't stand up because her leg was injured. She could only look up at him and ask, "Is the poison completely removed?

When I examined you, I only found a wound on the side of your neck. The poison in your body was probably from the arrow of the Tuhun people. "

He Sanlang's thin lips moved before he replied, "It's not a big deal. It's just an ordinary poison. There won't be any residual poison left."

Hearing this, Chu Lian finally put down a big stone in her heart.

In any case, He Changdi was poisoned because he saved her. If anything happened to him, she would feel guilty for the rest of her life.

"It's so late. Ask your brothers in the army to stay for dinner."

He Changdi glanced at this woman who finally looked a little like the little mistress of the He family. His heart was slightly warmed, but his expression was still cold.

"No need. My brothers and I are going back to the army camp immediately."

"Ah?

Go back now!

It's already dark outside. "Chu Lian was so surprised that she blurted out what was on her mind.

This caused both of them to be stunned. After a moment, it was He Changdi who spoke first. His voice was a little less cold and hard. "You want me to stay?"

Chu Lian lowered her head and her neck turned red.

He hurriedly said, "Since you're in such a hurry to go back, it must be because it's hard to disobey a military order. You'd better set off earlier!

I'll ask Wenlan to prepare some food for you on the way. "

When He Changdi heard this, he felt a little disappointed. He said, "Take good care of yourself. It's impossible for me to save you every time."

After saying that, He Changdi opened the door and left without looking back.

Chu Lian raised her fist and shook it at He Sanlang's back. This guy was about to leave, but he still wanted to piss her off. As expected, he was crazy!

How infuriating!

As soon as they saw He Changdi leave, Wenqing and Wenlan hurriedly ran in.

Chu Lian showed them the wound on her ankle. After thinking for a moment, she ordered, "Wenqing, go pack two undergarments for Third Young Master. Bring some meat jerky and wine as well. Also, don't forget the antidote and alcohol we prepared before we came here."

He Changdi had torn his undergarments to bandage her wound. She didn't know if he had enough in the army camp.

Wenqing and Wenlan nodded as they memorized Chu Lian's words. Before they left, they glanced at each other. Both of their eyes were filled with happiness and craftiness.

It seemed like their Third Young Madam and Third Young Master's relationship was quite good.

Seeing how worried they were, she really wanted to pack the things in a carriage for Third Young Master to take away.

He Changdi went to the central room outside and informed Steward Qin. Then, he brought Xiao Hongyu and the others to get on their horses and set off through the night.

Who knew that as soon as they got on their horses, Mo Chenggui and the other family warriors also got on their horses. Clearly, they wanted to go back with He Sanlang.

He Changdi frowned and slightly pulled on the reins. He turned to look at Mo Chenggui. "Uncle Mo, take some people and stay here to take care of Third Young Madam. Don't come with me to the army camp this time."

Although He Sanlang's tone was calm, there was a hint of displeasure in it. How could Mo Chenggui not sense it?

"Third Young Master, how can I do that? Old Mo was entrusted by the Matriarch to help Third Young Master!"

He Changdi looked straight at him. The young master in front of him was clearly only twenty years old, but Mo Chenggui felt that his cold eyes were intimidating. He didn't dare to look at them directly. He seemed to see the power of his old uncle who had passed away many years ago.

"Uncle Mo, helping me take care of Chu Lian is also helping me!"

Although Mo Chenggui wasn't very willing, he naturally couldn't refuse again and again since Third Young Master had spoken.

"Yes, Third Young Master. This old servant understands."

Mo Chenggui waved his hand, and the family guards dismounted. He Changdi also carried the bag that Chu Lian had someone prepare for him and rushed back to the border army camp that very night.

Mo Chenggui waited until He Changdi's figure disappeared into the dark alleyway of the small town before he returned with a gloomy expression.

Beside him was his old comrade of many years, Huang Zhijian. Huang Zhijian had retired at the same time as him and had become a family guard for the He family.

Their relationship was no different from that of real brothers.

Huang Zhijian patted his old brother's shoulder. "Old Mo, don't think too much. This time, we didn't think things through and left Third Young Madam behind. If we hadn't rushed ahead, we wouldn't have encountered such an accident."

Mo Chenggui had a bellyful of anger that had been bottled up for a long time. After these past few days, it was all stuck in his throat. Originally, he could still hold it in and not let it out, but after being provoked today, he couldn't care less.

"I just don't get it. Why did the Matriarch let a spoiled brat like Third Young Madam come to the north? Isn't she just causing trouble for Third Young Master?

What can she do with that small body of hers?

Look, we haven't even reached Liangzhou yet!

She has implicated Third Young Master. Military orders must be obeyed. When Third Young Master returns to the army camp, he will be punished according to military law!

Then the military law … "

"Old Mo, that's enough. Stop talking."

Mo Chenggui's gloomy expression hadn't even finished speaking when Huang Zhijian pushed his arm.

"What's wrong? You won't let me talk!"

"Old Mo, Third Young Madam is behind us!" Huang Zhijian had no choice but to remind him in a low voice.

Mo Chenggui paused and turned around to look behind him. Sure enough, he saw Chu Lian standing under the eaves with Wenlan's support. She was frowning and staring at them with an unhappy expression.

Mo Chenggui was still angry, so his tone naturally wasn't very good. "It's getting late. Third Young Madam, you should go back and rest. Otherwise, you'll be captured by the Tu Hun people again."

Huang Zhijian hurriedly tugged at his brother and apologized to Chu Lian, "Third Young Madam, please don't blame Old Mo. Old Mo has always been straightforward."

Although the two of them were the leaders of Duke Jing 'an's household's guards and were old revered servants of Duke Jing' an's estate, and their status in the estate wasn't low, Chu Lian was still their mistress. They didn't have the status to talk back to their mistress like this.

From the moment He Sanlang risked his life to save Chu Lian, Huang Zhijian could tell that the relationship between Third Young Master and his wife wasn't as bad as the rumors made it out to be.

Third Young Madam was doted on by the matriarch in the household. Currently, there wasn't even a young master in the household. If Third Young Madam were to get pregnant one day and give birth to the first male child in Count Jing 'an's household, her status might even be lower than that of the wife of the crown prince.

If Old Mo offended Third Young Madam at this time, the ones who would suffer in the future would be Old Mo's family.

Moreover, Third Young Madam wasn't as delicate as she looked. Didn't she see that Guilin Restaurant in Shengjing had already become the number one restaurant in Shengjing?

If she was really a pushover, how could the restaurant have become like this?

Only someone as stubborn as Old Mo didn't understand.

Chu Lian didn't care about Mo Chenggui's words at all. Her attention was completely focused on Mo Chenggui's previous words.

She couldn't help but ask, "What did you say?

Husband is going to be punished according to military law? "

Mo Chenggui seemed to be angered by Chu Lian's sudden question. "Third Young Master left the army camp without permission. How could he not be punished according to military law?"

Chu Lian didn't understand military management, especially in the Great Wu Dynasty that was countless years away. She was momentarily stunned. "What … what punishment will he receive?"

Mo Chenggui's words were full of gunpowder. Huang Zhijian didn't dare to let him speak. He hurriedly answered first, "Third Young Master has indeed violated military law. When he returns to the army camp, he will receive at least twenty strokes of the stick. Third Young Madam, you don't have to worry too much. Third Young Master has a strong body and thick skin. Twenty strokes of the stick is nothing."

After Huang Zhijian finished speaking, he secretly glanced at Chu Lian. Seeing that she was standing there in a daze, he hurriedly pulled Mo Chenggui to leave. "Since Third Young Madam is fine, Old Mo and I will leave first. Third Young Madam, you don't have to worry about the safety of this courtyard. I have already arranged for someone to set up hidden sentries."

Chu Lian only returned to her senses after Mo Chenggui and Huang Zhijian had left. She glanced at Wenlan beside her and sighed. "Let's go back."

Wenlan was both happy and distressed. "Third Young Madam, Third Young Master is so good to you!

In the future, if anyone dares to say that Third Young Master isn't good to you, this servant will tell them about this incident to shut their mouths! "

Chu Lian was a little flustered and couldn't hear what Wenlan was saying. She only forced a smile.

She didn't know why, but whenever she thought of He Changdi's smooth and slender back covered in bruises from being hit by the stick, her heart would feel suffocated.

Chu Lian was originally tired and should have fallen asleep the moment she closed her eyes.

However, after she closed her eyes, she had a nightmare of He Changdi being hit by the stick the entire night.

In her dream, He Sanlang, who always had a cold expression on his face, didn't scream when he was hit by the stick. He only stared at her. After the punishment was over, he stood up and turned his mangled back to Chu Lian for her to see.

In the end, he even turned around and smiled at her affectionately. "Chu Lian, look, this is all because of you!

You have to take responsibility! "
