After sharing a body with her husband

Xiao Jing is the only legitimate son of the Xiao family. It wouldn't be easy to ruin his future unless the Xiao family falls into ruin, and the Xie family doesn't really want to make an enemy of him.

Shang Lingjun is now Xie Qiye's wife. Limited by the Xie family, this is the limit of her revenge. This is already the best outcome.

She should have expected this.

Although it didn't damage Xiao Jing's physical constitution, it still took a lot of effort for him these past few days.

In the future, there will inevitably be some gossip and rumors surrounding him.

Huo Chuan hummed in agreement.

The old lady also said that you should just focus on recovering during this period and don't need to show your face in public.

Shang Lingjun looked slightly surprised.

[Chuan Chuan, the old lady talked to you for so long, did you not give herself away?]

"Of course not. The old lady may seem stern, but she has an extremely soft heart, and there are ways to get along with the elderly," Huo Chuan said.

It seems you know how to please older people.

Shang Lingjun's opinion of Huo Chuan changed somewhat; to be precise, she began to admire him.

The things he said to Pei Zhiying and Madam Xiao were her true feelings, but if it were her, she probably wouldn't have been able to say them.

Huo Chuan vented her anger again, but without being too sharp or directly tearing off their relationship.

It's clear that he was thinking of her.

After all, those two were elders from her maternal family.

This feeling of being cared for so well stirred up a wave of emotion in Shang Lingjun's heart, a feeling that lingered for a long time.

Although they had only spent a few days together, Shang Lingjun could tell that Huo Chuan was intelligent, quick-witted, insightful, and adept at reading people and situations, always able to see through the surface and get to the heart of the matter.

Moreover, he was good at making friends.

This person possesses the talent of a military strategist.

But he was trapped inside her body, confined to the inner quarters, and could only analyze these trivial matters for her, which was rather narrow-minded.

His status in his time must have been extraordinary.

"Thank you, Chuan Chuan," Shang Lingjun said sincerely.

With our relationship, there's no need to be so polite!

Huo Chuan's voice was clean and clear.

Shang Lingjun got up from the bed, then suddenly twisted her back and fell to the ground with a thud.

"Ouch! Why is my whole body aching?"

Shang Lingjun climbed back onto the bed in a disheveled state and lay down, groaning and moaning.

Huo Chuan remained silent.

"No, my arms hurt, and my legs hurt too."

I was so focused on listening to him that I realized my body ached all over when I moved, especially my arms.

Huo Chuan remained silent.

Shang Lingjun reached out and looked, her eyes widening in surprise.

Why do I have blisters on my hands?

There were two small blisters on her hand.

Huo Chuan exclaimed in surprise, "[It wasn't here yesterday.]"

[Huo Chuan, what exactly did you do with my body last night?!]

It wasn't until Shang Lingjun asked that Huo Chuan had no choice but to tell the truth. He stammered, "..."

"Well... I didn't do anything. I beat Xiao Jing up yesterday, but you can't blame me, he said some really nasty things."

"You hit Xiao Jing again? What did you use to hit him?" Shang Lingjun was astonished.

She was beaten until her whole body ached and blisters appeared on her palms. How badly must she have been beaten?

Upon hearing Shang Lingjun say the word "again," Huo Chuan suddenly recalled the four words Xiao Jing had said yesterday:

Love turned into hate.

He was silent for a moment, then spoke in a sarcastic tone.

[Is it okay to hit it with an iron shovel?]

Shang Lingjun didn't know what to say. It was actually hit with an iron shovel. No wonder there were blisters on her palms.

Seeing Shang Lingjun remain silent, Huo Chuan couldn't contain his impatience and asked:

Aren't you curious about what he said?

What did you say?

But Huo Chuan's answer was ambiguous:

[It was just some resentful talk.]

Shang Lingjun remained silent again, and Huo Chuan couldn't help but press her for an answer:

You don't still feel sorry for him, do you?

Shang Lingjun, preoccupied with worry, did not hear Huo Chuan's question.

Xiao Jing was beaten so badly, will he hold a grudge? What if he ruins Old Madam Wei's plans? Wouldn't that be a loss?

Just then, Qingzhi pushed open the door and entered.

"Madam...oh! Madam, your hand..."

As she walked in, she immediately noticed the two glistening blisters on Shang Lingjun's hand.

"I told you that Madam's skin is delicate and can't take much work. You should stop using the iron shovel in the future."

"Uh... okay."

Shang Lingjun had no choice but to agree.

Qingzhi went to call Hongzhu and Lüying, asking them to help Shang Lingjun get up and wash, and also to find a female physician to treat the blisters on her palms.

With so many people chattering, Shang Lingjun forgot what Huo Chuan had said earlier.

"I was planning to learn some massage from Dr. Huang again today, but it looks like I can't. I really need to rest for a couple of days; I'm very tired."

Huo Chuan suddenly spoke:

I'm sorry, you're physically delicate. I shouldn't have used your body like that. You should rest.

His voice was light and quick, with a slight soreness in his throat, and then he fell into a long silence, no longer speaking.

"I'm not blaming you," Shang Lingjun said.

"Ouch...be gentle..."

At that moment, the female physician was using silver needles to prick the blisters, and Shang Lingjun's attention was entirely focused on her palm.

After the blisters were popped, the female doctor applied some medicine, and just like that, Shang Lingjun's two hands were wrapped in gauze, looking fresh and clean.

……

Nowadays,

The Xiao family then officially paid their respects. General Xiao had intended to meet Shang Lingjun, but she claimed to be ill and did not show up.

She hid in Lingfeng Courtyard and watched Doctor Huang massage Xie Yan'an.

It wasn't until Liang's mother told Shang Lingjun that Xie Ruowei had fainted from kneeling in the ancestral hall that Shang Lingjun suddenly remembered that there was such a person as Xie Ruowei, who had been punished by being sent to the ancestral hall.

"Then let her go back."

Now that Xie Zhaoqing's affair has escalated to this point, and her true identity as a woman has been revealed, it's all the work of Qu Shi alone. Qu Shi is now imprisoned in the ancestral hall, and it's unknown what her final fate will be.

Master Xie was so angry he wanted to kill her, and he was completely overwhelmed with worries that he had no time to care about his daughter.

Since Lord Shang Ling has just arrived, it is not advisable to be too harsh on the younger generation, lest it give rise to gossip.

"But she said she wanted to see you," Liang's mother added.

Shang Jianjun was slightly surprised.

"Weren't you dizzy? Why are you here to see me?"

Seeing that Liang's mother hesitated to speak, Shang Lingjun quickly realized what was going on.

"Is it my third sister-in-law who wants to see me?"

Besides Xie Ruowei, there was also a woman surnamed Qu in the ancestral hall. Xie Zhaoqing was in the dungeon.

Ms. Qu, is there anything else she wants to say to her?

Mother Liang nodded.

"not see."

Shang Lingjun refused without hesitation.

What good nonsense could Qu Shi possibly spout?

Old Madam Wei has already said that her current situation is somewhat awkward, and the rest is no longer her concern.

She doesn't need to get involved at all; she can simply feign illness and avoid people until everything settles down and the storm has passed before she reappears.

Therefore, Shang Lingjun didn't want to get involved in any more messy things. She was just waiting for Grand Master Meng Shu to exorcise the demon and for Xie Zhaoqing to "commit suicide out of shame and indignation."

"Alright, if Madam doesn't want to see you, then we won't see you," Liang's mother replied.

So, Shang Lingjun didn't show her face all day, she just stayed with Xie Yan'an and watched how those people took care of Xie Yan'an's life.

Even Qingzhi could tell that Shang Lingjun was a truly competent and considerate wife.

The main reason was that Shang Lingjun had nowhere else to go, and she was afraid of getting into trouble if she went for a stroll in the courtyard.

Staying with Xie Yan'an would make her appear to care for her husband. Since there were servants to take care of him anyway, why wouldn't she do it?

In the evening, Shang Lingjun quickly asked Qingzhi to prepare hot water.

"I was too tired last night and went to bed without even taking a shower. I'm going to take a good soak later."

Before Huo Chuan could stop her, Shang Lingjun blurted it out.

Qingzhi looked bewildered.

"Madam, you took a bath yesterday."

Shang Lingjun's cat-like body trembled.

【Huo Chuan!!!】
