"Why did you go to Diecui Pass with the injury?" Having heard about the assassination, Wei Changying was still confused. She asked him, "The cart is not your top choice, I think. You used to ride a horse even on rainy days. The assassin ambushed under the bridge and took action when your cart passed by. Most importantly, you were really weak then. What big deal you had to go over there to handle yourself? You totally cared about nothing for yourself."

Because there was a beautiful maidservant outside, Wei Changying was in a complicated mood and she guessed, "Diecui Pass? I'm gonna send someone there to check it out. Maybe there's also another beautiful lady over there. He couldn't wait to see her even with his injury."

Her suspicion held water. It seemed that Shen Cangfeng was not the one who knew nothing and only wanted to show off. It was exactly clear to him that his safety should be placed in a paramount position in the Shen Family, or he would not return to the ancestral house in Western Liang.

However, Shen Cangfeng's travel with the injury was not the real problem. The point was that the defense work was so lax that Shen Cangfeng was nearly put to death. So, there was only one conceivable reason. The travel was made provisionally and so there was no time for a thorough arrangement.

It was right that he was recovering from the injury in his hometown. Was there anything that needed to be handled immediately by him, the future Family Head?

Wei Changying was reminded of what had happened in the capital years ago. That was mainly about Shen Cangfeng's consideration of her. For example, when they were newly married, Shen Cangfeng was full of scratches on his back. In order not to be mired in embarrassment, he refused to use the medicine due to the strong smell. For another example, Wei Changying had been pregnant before she married into the Shen Family. So, he dismissed all the beautiful maidservants to make her feel more comfortable. Moreover, when they first set foot on the way to the Shen Family, Wei Changying was fascinated by a scenic spot on the way. Shen Cangfeng decided to stay there for two days, during which she had great fun.

Was the sweet husband now showing consideration for another beautiful lady?

Wei Changying couldn't help shaking her fist a bit without knowing what to say.

Shen Cangfeng said gently, "It was someone important and I must go there myself."

Wei Changying's face went white and said, "Who was that?"

Shen Cangfeng was shocked a bit when he saw her act like that. Something then went into his mind and he said with a gentle voice, "You really came at the right time. I'm gonna introduce her to you. It's hard not to wonder there would be such an unrivalled and talented beauty in Western Liang."

Wei Changying said with a gentle smile, "Unrivalled beauty? There are really many beautiful ladies I have seen in the capital and I think what you have seen will be no less than what I have seen. That unrivalled beauty could impress you so much. I'm afraid that she will definitely outperform those in the capital. How did you find her?"

Shen Cangfeng said happily, "That's a long story. Three months ago, Muxiuer's general Tu Lu launched a sudden attack against Diecui Pass. Shen Youjia and I were right there and were quite shocked, thinking that all we had to do was to raise soldiers and horses to recapture it. Few people could expect..."

Speaking of that, He paused and looked at his wife with a smile.

Generally speaking, it was perhaps due to the case that her husband came to care about Diecui Pass. However, Wei Changying felt that something was wrong and stared at him for a while. Sensing that her husband didn't say a word, she said, "Duanmu Xinmiao came with me, but she was terribly sick along the way. It will take a couple of days to recover. Who is now in charge of your prescription and pulse record? We can take them to Duanmu Xinmiao and let her diagnose."

Stunned by the abrupt change of the topic, Shen Cangfeng said, "Shen Die."

Hearing that Shen Die was in charge of his staff, Wei Changying said, "The servants here don't act in a good state. After you fell asleep, Shen Youjia didn't leave until we came. The servants were so dumb that they didn't even realize they should send him out. Servants like them should be dismissed as soon as possible."

Shen Cangfeng answered without hesitation, "You mean the maidservant in red and green? When I came to myself after the assassination, I saw her. Originally, I intended to get someone to replace her. But later we knew you were coming. So, I guess someone is going to exert pressure on you. Just take it easy and dismiss her later."

"Who?" Knowing that her husband didn't transfer his affections to another, Wei Changying was delighted. While she was also surprised and burst into anger because someone else did it secretly.

Feeling quite exhausted, Shen Cangfeng said, "Look at how I am today. I'm not energetic enough to investigate. Now you are here with me. These trivial things can be tackled by you." He closed his eyes after the words.

The air was cleared. Feeling surprised and distressed, Wei Changying said, "Have a good rest here. I will try to make all things clear and not to disturb you with the trivial things." Her voice was gentle but her eyes is filled with hatred. Leaving aside Shuguang, she came a long way here to visit her husband, only to be told that someone else was to break them up. And there was almost a misunderstanding.

She thought, "I was kind of expecting that he was so lonely in Western Liang that a beautiful maidservant was taken with. Unexpectedly, it is schemed by others. When he was in his serious injury, Ruanyu was assigned to wait upon him. In that way, It was likely that Shen Cangfeng would accept her as a concubine."

"Luckily, my timely arrival has prevented that from happening."

Shen Cangfeng still couldn't rise to his feet. That wouldn't be true even if Ruanyu threw herself at him. But what if she came several days later? Though Shen Cangfeng didn't intend to do so, what would happen if Ruanyu exposed herself to him? Thinking about that, Wei Changying was trembling with fear.

Ruanyu knew clearly about Shen Cangfeng's health conditions. However, she didn't even care about him. When Shen Youjia kissed the cup in front of Shen Cangfeng in the inner room, Ruanyu sat by and did nothing. What she cared about most was trying to dress up and look more beautiful. So, he was not well served. Her husband had been injured twice and almost lost his life. Fortunately, he was successfully rescued. However, such a maidservant was appointed to serve him. If something wrong happened to him, who was gonna take responsibility?

Idiots... Wei Changying was almost out of words.

She was now torn by rage, thinking to herself that she would make all things clear, "I'd like to see who acted so recklessly that they even targeted at my husband..." They definitely knew that Wei Changying, the third young madam, would arrive today but let the maidservant Ruanyu serve outside the room. According to the behaviour of the maidservant, it was clear that they didn’t take her seriously.

Her mother-in-law once reminded her of the fact that Shen Xuan and his brother ever battled with the clansman due to the early deaths of their parents. A burst of killing arose from Wei Changying's mind.

Shen Cangfeng muttered with his eyes closed. His gentle sound caught the attention of Wei Changying. She couldn't help tidying up his hair. Shen Cangfeng looked extremely pale due to the previous excessive blood loss. So, his handsome look was further highlighted.

She looked at her handsome husband who was still recovering from his injury and meditated with a sly glee, "He is so excellent that many beautiful girls cast their greedy eyes on him." Now the point was to remove out the source of the trouble. Otherwise, Old Madam Song and her mother's secret words would be in vain. And so did Mrs. Huang who was cultivated by Old Madam Song for her.

She leaned down and kissed Shen Cangfeng on his cheeks and was about to speak. But Shen Cangfeng suddenly opened his eyes, smiling at her, and said, "Well, time for the truth. The ‘unrivalled beauty’ in Diecui Pass is excellent not in his look but his in wit. Tu Lu's sudden attack didn't go on smoothly owing to his command. Though he was born a commoner, he is considerably talented in terms of military and scheme. His talents far outweigh Mr. Nian in the capital. It's said by officials in Diecui Pass that he's not willing to work for anyone. If he had not been born in Diecui Pass, he wouldn't have shown his talent. After I got the news, I thought it was necessary to let him join us. So, I went to visit him in person."

The reason why Wei Changying did not go out immediately was that she was reluctant to be separated again from her husband after the misunderstanding was cleared. Unexpectedly, Shen Cangfeng thought that she was still worried about the previous "unrivalled beauty" and did not know how to reply. Wei Changying reached out her hands, touched his cheeks, and said with a smile, "I will not gonna fall for that. You used to play tricks on me in the capital, remember? But if you really want to recruit him, it's never too late to go there when you get a full recovery. You have no competitors here in Western Liang. Besides, no one else ever succeeds recruiting him."

Shen Cangfeng said self-deprecatingly, "It was just because of it that I would prefer going there with injury. He, I guess, would possibly be moved. And then it turned out that I was attacked by an assassin. So, I don't even know if he really lives up to my expectation until now."

"How silly you are!" Wei Changying was both happy and annoyed and she said, "You mean you didn't even figure out the faithfulness before going there with injury, right?"

"It doesn't matter. Diecui Pass was then under attack." Shen Cangfeng said with a smile, "If he was worthy of his name, I was there for him. If he was not, then I was going to investigate the death toll in Diecui Pass where there were many people in the Shen Family. And it was also reasonable for me to offer condolences."

Wei Changying said, "It was too risky. You should never do that again." She then asked, "The assassin was ambushing under the bridge. So, it's clear that he must know in advance where you were going. Are you sure all of it was done by Di People?"

Shen Cangfeng said with a smile, "Correct." He then urged, "There were several traitors among us. Some of them were wiped out by Shen Youjia and me. But some others were really overlooked. So, you have to be careful enough and keep Qin'ge around you."

Wei Changying said, "Qin'ge has been assigned to wait upon Miracle Doctor Ji in Fengzhou. But you don't have to worry about me. I am not the kind of woman who has little physical strength. I killed assassins before."

Shen Cangfeng smiled, "All right. I almost forgot that my wife was a martial artist. You are much better than me."

But he insisted on reminding her, "Be careful. Don't go out unless you have to. When you go out, you must take everything you need. And if there is someone getting close to you, you must remain on high alert no matter who he is."

Wei Changying said, "Get it. Just have a good rest. I'm gonna go and work things out. Aunt He will be here with you, altogether with Tuanyue and Xinyue. They will try their best to serve you."

Shen Cangfeng said with a smile, "I am very reassured as my wife is here."

Feeling so sweet, Wei Changying couldn't help kissing him again on the cheek...
