He Sanlang suddenly felt a trace of apprehension, and his hot body instantly became cold. He subconsciously hugged the soft and warm woman in his arms, as if he could get some comfort by doing so.

Wu Lihan and her two sons were fine. After eating something and resting in the greenhouse for a night, their spirits were even better than before.

When Chu Lian opened her eyes again, she found that it was already the afternoon of the next day.

She shrank her body and rubbed her eyes that were still a little misty. The natural stove beside her was no longer there. She shivered from the cold and quickly woke up.

Just as she sat up and was about to call for someone, she heard the felt curtain of the greenhouse move slightly. He Changdi supported himself with one arm and entered the greenhouse.

He placed a small package wrapped in indigo blue cloth beside him. After looking up and glancing at it, he immediately looked away.

Chu Lian saw that his expression was strange. Even the tips of his exposed ears were a little red. She frowned and looked down at herself. Looking at him like this, no matter how thick-skinned she was, she couldn't help but feel hot.

Her clothes were loose and draped over her body. Because the belt in front of her chest was broken, one side of the collar was wide open. The light yellow bra inside was crooked, revealing a large area of snow-white skin. There were a few red marks on that skin, clearly showing He Sanlang's "indulgence" last night.

Chu Lian glared at him and quickly wrapped her clothes tightly. She said with slight anger, "Turn around!"

This time, He Sanlang was surprisingly obedient. Without saying anything, he slightly turned around. Chu Lian saw that he turned his back and quickly tidied up her clothes.

But when she found that the belt in front of her chest was broken, she could no longer suppress her annoyance. "He Changdi, it's all your fault!"

He Sanlang had long forgotten about this small matter. He felt very wronged when he was inexplicably shouted at by his wife.

He pursed his thin lips. He didn't forget that Chu Lian had asked him to turn around.

"I turned around?"

"Turn around!" Chu Lian said in a bad mood.

He Changdi turned around and looked at Chu Lian. Only then did he know what she was angry about.

He blushed and recalled how he broke the belt last night. He clenched his right hand. Even the cold-faced He Sanlang was speechless when faced with his wife's accusation.

"Do you have any clothes? Find me one."

The inner clothes could barely cover it. The cloak and fur coat she wore yesterday were stained with horse blood. The smell was so unpleasant that she couldn't wear them at all.

He Changdi coughed awkwardly. He reached out and took out a piece of clothing from a small cabinet on the wall of the greenhouse.

"There are no women's clothes here. I'll make do with mine first."

He Changdi had used this Lu Zhou when he went to Su City, and there were a few pieces of his clothes stored inside.

In the vast icy plains, Chu Lian could only use He Sanlang's clothes to resist for a while.

It was a thick black robe with green bamboo patterns embroidered on it. It didn't feel like much when she held it in her hands, but when she put it on her body, she immediately felt the difference between the two of them.

He Sanlang had a tall stature. After being tempered in the Northern Border Army for about half a year, his body had become much sturdier than before.

Chu Lian was petite. When the two of them stood together, she only reached his chest. Now that He Sanlang's robe was on her, it looked like she was wearing a sleeveless costume …

When the collar was buttoned up, the inside of the robe was empty. It was ridiculously large.

Chu Lian sighed. There was no other way. She couldn't really wear a broken belt. Even if she didn't see anyone, she would still freeze to death.

She climbed up from the leather mattress and found her previous clothes. She took out the belt and carefully tied it around the waist of the robe.

Then, she rolled up her sleeves. After that, Chu Lian let out a sigh of relief. She could finally sit down peacefully.

As she moved, He Sanlang stared at her with his deep, almond-shaped eyes.

Actually, the robe was straight and didn't need a belt at all. However, when it came to Chu Lian, he had to add a belt in order to hold the robe in place. He didn't expect that after putting on the belt, her chest would bulge out. He couldn't help but fall into a daze when he thought about how it felt last night.

Moreover, Chu Lian was wearing his clothes. A man would always feel a strong sense of possessiveness and satisfaction when the woman he liked was wearing his clothes.

Chu Lian didn't know that her very ordinary action had unintentionally satisfied He Sanlang's secret little hobby. She casually sat down, her pair of big eyes quickly looking at the package that He Changdi had brought.

She swallowed a mouthful of saliva, and her stomach 'worked hard' to make a 'grumble' sound.

He Sanlang was pulled back to reality by the sound. At this moment, he didn't feel awkward at all and became understanding.

He took the package from beside him and handed it to Chu Lian. "Eat something first. We'll be able to return to the camp in the evening."

She opened the package. It was just some meat. Chu Lian didn't dislike it and picked up a piece to chew.

In such an environment, Chu Lian was very tactful. No matter what, she couldn't treat her stomach badly.

He Sanlang sat to the side and watched her eat. Seeing that she didn't look disgusted or unhappy, his heart relaxed and warmed at the same time.

In fact, Chu Lian was a very considerate girl. She would never make trouble without reason. No matter who they were, they would feel very comfortable getting along with her.

She really didn't have the arrogance and pretentiousness of the noble ladies in Shengjing.

Thinking of the information he got about Chu Lian from Prince Jin, he suddenly frowned and his heart tightened.

Although Chu Lian was the Sixth Miss of the Ying family, she lost her mother when she was young. Later, Chu Qizheng remarried. As the saying goes, if there was a stepmother, there would be a stepfather. She was not favored in the family at all. Because there were many children in the Ying family, the Ying family and the Old Madam never paid much attention to her. In fact, her life in the Ying family was not good.

Sometimes, her food and clothing were not as good as the favored concubine daughters in the family.

In the past, he didn't think much of Chu Lian's life before she got married, but now that he thought about it, he felt strangely stifled.

Chu Lian was focused on eating the jerky in front of her. She didn't notice He Sanlang's sensitive emotions at all.

Even if she knew what he was thinking, she would still roll her eyes.

In any case, he wasn't thinking about her. She wasn't the original Chu Lian. She still couldn't recognize all the people in the Ying family!

However, there was one thing he was right about. Although Chu Lian was a picky eater and liked good food, she wasn't someone who would make trouble without reason.

Cooking good food had to be done under the right circumstances. If she was thinking about food on the way to escape, wouldn't she be looking for death?

After eating her fill, Chu Lian sat next to the charcoal brazier in the greenhouse to warm herself.

The scarlet charcoal reflected on Chu Lian's pale face. It was rare for the young couple to have a chance to sit together and talk.

Actually, if He Sanlang wasn't crazy, he would be a very beautiful, cold-faced, handsome man. Chu Lian couldn't take her eyes off him.

Under Chu Lian's interrogation, He Changdi told her in detail how he found her along the way. However, he left out the fact that the three men and one woman were killed.

He Changdi didn't know why he subconsciously did this. When he looked at Chu Lian's clear eyes, he couldn't help but want to protect this purity.

Chu Lian stared at the flashing brazier. Her moist almond-shaped eyes shone brightly. She lowered her head, but in the end, she couldn't help but smile.

She didn't misjudge her husband after all, did she?

In the evening, before the sun disappeared, He Changdi led the search team back to the Northern Border Military Camp.

Officer Guo, Sima Hui, Zhang Mai, Tang Yan, and the others received the news and rushed to the camp's entrance to welcome them.

Chu Lian was still wearing He Changdi's clothes, so she couldn't just go down the greenhouse.

He Changdi jumped down from the greenhouse with a cold expression. After saying a few words, he personally escorted Chu Lian to the tent she was staying in before.

Chu Lian changed into a new set of clothes and tidied herself up. Then, she went to see her comrades who were concerned about her.

After all, Chu Lian's tent was for the female soldiers. He Changdi didn't want to stay for long. He reminded Wenqing and Wenlan before returning to his own tent.

As soon as he entered the tent, he heard the voices of Xiao Hongyu and the others.

Officer Guo and Zhang Mai saw He Sanlang coming in and quickly walked up to him.

Officer Guo patted him on the shoulder, "It's good that sister-in-law is safe. Don't think too much."

Zhang Mai also comforted him.

After all, the two of them were much older than He Changdi and Xiao Hongyu. It was inevitable that they would think more than others.

No matter what, Chu Lian was still a woman. She was kidnapped just like that. Even if she was the ruler of Jinyi Village and had that status, she couldn't shut other people's mouths and make it hard for them to explain themselves.

If their reputation was damaged, it wouldn't be a good thing for the couple.

Officer Guo was also afraid that He Sanlang would think too much.

He Sanlang looked at his two brothers in shock and said helplessly, "What are you thinking? Why would I have such thoughts?"

Guo Xiaowei heard him say this and saw that he was magnanimous, so he relaxed. "Brat, I'm not worried about you. Alright, it's good that you understand. Sister-in-law is a good girl, don't let her down."

In this peaceful era, which pampered and spoiled woman would come to this desolate border and suffer so much for her husband?

Although Jinyi Village Lord had a sense of propriety, she was still a girl who wasn't even sixteen yet.

"Thank you for your concern. However, you're thinking too much. Don't worry, I've already ordered people to seal this matter. Aside from my personal guards, no one else knows."

He Changdi was a meticulous person. When he left the camp to find Chu Lian, he had already arranged everything in the army.

Since he was going to take on the responsibility of Chu Lian's husband, he naturally wouldn't allow her reputation to be tarnished.

Officer Guo nodded in relief. This guy was also a crazy wife-protector, so he immediately understood He Sanlang's intentions.

"Don't worry, I'll keep an eye on things in the army. The news won't get out."

He Sanlang, who had a cold expression on his face, bowed respectfully to Commandant Guo when he heard this.

Zhang Mai raised the corner of his mouth, "Do we brothers care about such things?"

Officer Guo laughed loudly, "Let him bow. This bow belongs to us. Brat, take good care of your wife in the future."
