After everything was done, Tang Zan thought he had already won over Pei Shu’er and was playing with her fingers.
"Your hand is really beautiful."
Pei Shu’er softly responded with an "Hm", not wanting to speak.
When she regained so strength, she got up and went to read a book.
The uneasy feeling in Tang Zan’s heart returned.
"Shu’er."
Pei Shu’er turned her head to look at Tang Zan.
"Yes, husband, what’s the matter?"
Perhaps because Pei Shu’er’s expression remained gentle, Tang Zan’s facial expression relaxed a bit.
"Nothing, I just thought I’d take you to Plum Blossom Mountain Villa. The plum blossoms there are blooming beautifully."
Pei Shu’er lowered her gaze, hiding the emotions in her eyes.
"As long as the Prince is happy. But having just taken Princess Zhaoyang there and then taking now, visiting the sa place twice in such a short ti, surely the Prince must be tired of it, right?"
Hearing this, Tang Zan burst into laughter.
He had been upset by Pei Shu’er’s lack of jealousy, but now he realized she wasn’t just jealous, she was extrely so.
He walked over with long strides, wrapping his arms around Pei Shu’er’s back, pulling their bodies close.
He rested his head on Pei Shu’er’s shoulder and gently kissed her crystal-clear earlobe.
"I didn’t take her there, I was practicing swordsmanship in the courtyard all this ti."
Pei Shu’er’s body tensed up, and Tang Zan turned her around by her shoulders.
He slightly bent down, his eyes staring directly at Pei Shu’er.
"Believe , I absolutely won’t take a concubine."
Pei Shu’er lifted her eyelids and looked at him.
"What you said before was you won’t ’easily’ take a concubine."
Pei Shu’er deliberately emphasized the word ’easily’.
As soon as she said this, Tang Zan not only didn’t get angry, his smile even widened.
He leaned in closer to Pei Shu’er and placed a kiss on her face, his eyes filled with tenderness enough to drown soone.
"So you’ve been upset about what I said earlier. If it bothered you so much, why didn’t you say sothing sooner?"
Pei Shu’er pursed her lips, still saying nothing.
Tang Zan chuckled.
"How about I say it again, okay?"
Sure enough, Pei Shu’er looked at him, and Tang Zan realized where the problem was, thinking that she was indeed adorable this way.
Unable to resist, he kissed her sparkling eyes.
"In this life, I only want Pei Shu’er, no one else matters to ."
Pei Shu’er’s expression softened a bit. "Really?"
Tang Zan replied, "Of course it’s true, I certainly won’t take a concubine. Having you is already more than enough."
Pei Shu’er’s face lightened further as she smirked but still let out a small hum.
"You should have said so earlier, instead of that ’won’t easily take a concubine’ nonsense."
Through this incident, Tang Zan ca to understand Pei Shu’er’s stance and her boundaries.
In matters of the heart, she wouldn’t tolerate any flaws.
Moreover, she least liked vague words like that.
Her distraction all day was the best proof.
He even regretted it; had he known this, he wouldn’t have included those words ’easily’.
He hadn’t thought much at the ti, just saying it casually, never expecting it to create such a playboy impression.
Looking at Pei Shu’er and seeing she was truly fine, his mood improved sowhat.
Tang Zan imdiately took Pei Shu’er to Plum Blossom Mountain Villa.
After they arrived, they had dinner and then strolled around Plum Blossom Mountain Villa in the evening.
Feeling that the atmosphere was just right, he wanted to spice it up, but Pei Shu’er, clutching her waist, shook her head.
"No, let rest, okay?"
Tang Zan raised an eyebrow, holding Pei Shu’er tightly in his arms.
"Weren’t you quite happy?"
Pei Shu’er rolled her eyes, "Do you think I’m like you, with such strong physique?"
Tang Zan chuckled softly, "Then tell , do you like your husband’s physique?"
Pei Shu’er: "..."
"Ah, these plum blossoms are truly beautiful."
Tang Zan pinched Pei Shu’er’s nose.
"Don’t change the subject."
Pei Shu’er said, "No, they really are beautiful."
Then Tang Zan couldn’t help but appreciate the plum blossoms too.
It was Pei Shu’er’s first ti seeing so many plum blossoms, and one had to admit, the Plum Blossom Mountain Villa lived up to its na.
The two of them initially planned to leave, but upon seeing the beautiful view outside, a breeze blew through, scattering the plum blossoms around.
They ended up staying the night there, luckily there were many rooms available for guests.
The Manor Master was a person of broad-minded nature.
Thereafter, they stayed at Plum Blossom Mountain Villa for several days, and once they got tired of it, they left to explore outside the city.
The little misunderstanding hadn’t affected their relationship, but rather helped them understand their feelings for each other.
Now they only wanted to be together, allowing no one in between them.
Pei Shu’er felt content with this; she didn’t like third-party interference in relationships at all.
Once their travel was sufficient, they returned to the Prince Mansion.
Upon reaching the gates, they saw Princess Chaoyang looking accusatorily at Tang Zan, her eyes filled with tears.
One might not know and assu sothing had happened to her.
"Brother Zan, why did you co back so late? I’ve been so lonely at the Prince Mansion."
Tang Zan said, "Weren’t you here to keep your aunt company?"
Those words choked Princess Zhaoyang, but she quickly responded, "But accompanying my aunt every day gets boring too."
After speaking, a blush appeared on her face, bashfully adding, "Besides, don’t you know why I’m here? Brother Zan."
Tang Zan’s expression turned ruthlessly cold.
"I don’t."
Princess Chaoyang’s face paled, finally saying, "Aren’t I your concubine? Of course, I’m here to find you."
Upon hearing this, Pei Shu’er said nothing, just watched how Tang Zan would handle it.
Tang Zan said, "I have no concubine. If that’s your reason for being here, you can leave."
Princess Chaoyang’s eyes widened, as if she heard sothing unbelievable.
"Brother Zan, you’re actually asking to leave."
Tang Zan cast his gaze towards Xuan Liu.
"Escort Princess Chaoyang back to her estate."
With those words, Princess Chaoyang’s face turned extrely ugly.
"Brother Zan, you can’t treat like this."
Tang Zan’s gaze swept over Chaoyang’s hand, and under the intensity of his look, she imdiately released her grip, frightened.
Her tone turned coquettish. Were it any other man, her honeyed words might’ve lted his resolve.
"Brother Zan~ don’t turn away~"
With that, Tang Zan simply ignored her, continuing on his path, then turned back to look at Chaoyang.
"Also, in the future, don’t call Brother Zan, I don’t like that title."
Princess Chaoyang’s face turned pale.
"Then can I call you Brother Tang?"
Goosebumps rose on Pei Shu’er’s skin.
Tang Zan shook his head, wasn’t that the sa as calling him Brother Zan?
"No, you can just call War King."
With that, he extended his hand towards Pei Shu’er.
"Let’s go, Princess Consort."
Seeing the mischievous glint in Pei Shu’er’s eyes, he couldn’t help but squeeze her palm slightly.
