Sure, sure!

Throughout the whole incident, Huangfu Lingyao remained silent, watching his wife a.s.sert herself and stand up for him.

The feeling of being defended felt incredibly good. He thought to himself, I probably like her and fell in love with her because no one has ever stood up for me like this. Theres no one in this lifetime who could be better to me than her!

This feeling, it became addictive!

Ignoring the noises from outside, he held Liu s.h.i.+meis hand and walked towards the main courtyard, saying, Wife, Ill show you something interesting!

His face showed foolish delight, but his mind was sharp. My wife is so clever; she must have noticed that something is off with Eunuch Li. I need to start planning. After she enters the household, she will definitely find a way to remove this thorn. I need to design a plan to help her!

Unbeknownst to each other, the engaged couple schemed in their hearts, aligning their intentions, although they were unaware of each others thoughts.

One could say they were a unique couple, united in purpose even if they didnt know it?

Liu s.h.i.+meis thoughts were entirely focused on the surprise she was about to see. She asked with a smile, Where is it? Is it in your bedroom?

No, its in a secret place, unknown to anyone! Huangfu Lingyao grinned as he led her through the corridor.

They didnt head towards the main house; instead, they went to a small garden behind the main courtyard.

Even though King Dun Yu was unfavored and lacked authority within the mansion, the mansion still had all the necessary facilities.

In the small garden, apart from flower beds, there was also an artificial mountain.

Huangfu Lingyao led Liu s.h.i.+mei towards the artificial mountain, pa.s.sing over it and reaching the wall on the other side.

Next to the female wall, there was a layer of ornamental bamboo planted.

After entering the artificial mountain, he walked a few steps into the bamboo grove behind it, his steps somewhat peculiar.

The path through the bamboo grove was quite narrow, and Liu s.h.i.+mei couldnt walk side by side with him. She followed behind him, watching as he alternated his steps oddly, left foots front sole against the right foots heel, then the next step was right foots front sole against the left foots heel.

He was counting in his mouth, One, two, three, four, five

By the seventh step, he finally stopped.

He pulled out a dry bamboo stick from the bamboo grove and squatted down, starting to dig the ground!

Lingyao? Liu s.h.i.+mei saw that he seemed to be in a treasure digging mode and couldnt help but smile. She asked, What exactly is this good thing youre after?

The area enclosed by the bamboo grove and the surrounding wall was already very small, and the light wasnt very clear. With the artificial mountain blocking the light, this area was almost completely shaded. It was difficult for her to see clearly.

Huangfu Ling Yao grinned mischievously, A long, long time ago, I hid a treasure here!

The ground here was quite hard; it was almost impossible to dig with bamboo sticks. Liu s.h.i.+mei sighed and said, You wont be able to dig it out even until nightfall with just bamboo sticks. Let me have someone bring you a hoe.

Huangfu Lingyao immediately stopped her, looking very serious, No, Wife, I cant let anyone know Ive hidden a treasure here!

Liu s.h.i.+mei laughed and teased him, But didnt you plan to dig it out today to show me? Take it out; we can find another hiding spot for it in the future, right?

After a moment of contemplation, her silly dog agreed, Youre right! Wife has a point!

Liu s.h.i.+mei had someone fetch a hoe, and Huangfu Lingyao insisted on handling the surprise for his wife himself. He dug away, grunting with effort.

While Liu s.h.i.+mei stood outside, he managed to unearth a sandalwood box, glancing back to see if she was paying attention.

Seeing that she wasnt, he opened a slit, pulled out a small oil-paper package from his pocket, stuffed it inside, closed the box, and then lifted it out..
