Chapter 24: A Delightful Surprise

“Alright, I understand. I’ll go take a look tomorrow.” Yuncheng said, then left Xu’s courtyard. He was in a bad mood today and didn’t want to spend the night there.

Moreover, he was somewhat resentful of Xu, feeling that Yunzhi, this troublesome daughter, was born from her.

Xu originally thought Yuncheng would stay, but he left just like that. She was also angry and couldn’t help but feel resentful. Then, thinking that Yuncheng was upset because of Yunzhi, she became even more displeased with Yunzhi, even hating her.

She felt that Yunzhi was a debt collector, causing trouble even while she was pregnant with her. Now that she was married, she still caused her no peace.

Yunzhi had no idea about the argument between Yuncheng and Xu, the couple. She slept soundly in her own mansion, feeling truly comfortable. She woke up to a bright new day.

Getting up, she first went to the courtyard to practice her swordsmanship for a while, then performed a set of punches. When her whole body was drenched in sweat, she went to take a fragrant hot bath.

After the bath, Yunzhi felt incredibly comfortable. To think, she hadn’t practiced her swordsmanship or martial arts for a long time.

Practicing today, she felt completely refreshed.

Indeed, it was so much more enjoyable on her own turf, where she could do whatever she wanted without any restrictions.

However, unbeknownst to Yunzhi, her sword practice was witnessed by Dongli Lucang. He stood silently by the window of his room, watching the figure dancing in the courtyard. The scene slowly overlapped with memories from two years ago, instantly filling him with delight.

He never dreamed that the person he had been desperately searching for would appear before him in this way.

At this moment, he decided to repay Yunzhi’s life-saving grace in a different way.

Dongli Lucang stood quietly by the window, not going out to disturb Yunzhi. He only left the room when she finished her punches and left the courtyard, taking a stroll in the garden.

Free from the poison, he felt light as a feather.

Although his internal injuries were still quite severe, compared to the poison in his body, they were nothing.

Of course, Dongli Lucang didn’t stay in the courtyard for long. After two laps, he returned to his room. Shortly after, he heard a knock on the door, followed by Rulan’s voice.

“Master Lu, are you awake? I’m coming in.”

“Come in.”

After hearing Dongli Lucang’s voice, Rulan, along with several maids, pushed the door open and entered. They carried basins and other toiletries, specifically to help him wash up.

Dongli Lucang quickly finished washing up and asked, “Where’s your mistress?”

“Miss is having breakfast. We’ll bring your breakfast to you later.”

After speaking, Rulan led the maids out. Not long after, someone delivered his breakfast.

After finishing his breakfast, Dongli Lucang also drank his medicine. However, he noticed that Yunzhi hadn’t appeared yet, so he asked again, “Did your mistress go out?”

“Reporting to Master Lu, Miss hasn’t gone out, but she has something to do. Once she’s finished, she will come to see you.”

Although Dongli Lucang was eager to see Yunzhi and ask her about his internal injuries, upon hearing that she was busy, he could only let it go.

However, after the maids left, he suddenly called out to the shadows, “Anyi!”

“This subordinate is here!” With a response, a man in black appeared before Dongli Lucang.

“Go and investigate Yun’s situation.” Dongli Lucang instructed. Since he had decided to repay Yunzhi’s life-saving grace in a different way, he naturally needed to have someone investigate her situation first, to avoid any unnecessary trouble.

“Yes!”
