Before the young gentleman could finish, she hurriedly nodded. “About what happened at noon today, I was ungrateful.”
Jiujiu wholeheartedly cared for her and had never suffered hardships. He couldn’t imagine the difficulties involved, which were commonplace.
Moreover, the young gentleman was thin-skinned and soft-hearted, and got along well with Ah Ning. What she said undoubtedly poured cold water on him. Although it made him sober, it also chilled his heart.
With the young gentleman protecting her like this, as the wife-master, she naturally had to cherish this intention.
Therefore, Li Ruantang’s apology was very natural, without the slightest difficulty.
“Wife-master…”
Meng Jun suspiciously rubbed his ears. Did he hear wrong? Li Ruantang was actually apologizing to him?!
The young gentleman widened his eyes in disbelief. He tiptoed and reached out to feel Li Ruantang’s forehead.
No fever.
Meng Jun was too stunned to react.
You should know, in the Great Jin, women were revered. Even his mother had never lowered herself to coax his father over a small matter of words.
He stared blankly at Li Ruantang handing over the flower wreath. Perhaps the night was too cold and the moonlight was sentimental.
Although the girl in front of him was still very pale, the young gentleman’s heart felt warm.
Those smiling apricot eyes were beautiful, the tall and straight nose was also beautiful, and…
His gaze fell on the corners of her lips. Meng Jun’s face burned and he lowered his head. In fact, Li Ruantang was not inferior to Sister Wei, and even a few points more beautiful than Sister Wei.
However, she was only a little bit prettier. And that was only when she wasn’t coldly expressionless.
Meng Jun turned his face away and secretly took a deep breath. This wasn’t him being fickle. If those young men in the capital saw Li Ruantang’s current expression, they would probably also be dazzled and have mixed feelings.
And she even made a flower wreath for him!
The young gentleman’s heart was in a mess, and he didn’t know what to say.
“Jiujiu.” Li Ruantang’s voice was gentle. “Let’s talk about the rest when we go back to the room later. Let’s go eat now, don’t keep people waiting.”
Hu Sanniang and Zhou Fulang had been working in the fields all day, so it wasn’t good to keep them waiting.
Meng Jun naturally understood this principle, but she wasn’t going to put the flower wreath on him?
The young gentleman pursed his lips and stole a glance at her. When they were about to enter the main hall, Meng Jun paused, took the flower wreath, and trotted back to their room.
These flowers, once separated from their roots, couldn’t stand the fumes of oil and smoke. He hadn’t even worn it yet, so he had to put it away carefully.
While eating with the Hu family, the young gentleman was a little absent-minded. Now, taking advantage of Li Ruantang being kept in the main hall by Hu Sanniang to talk.
Back in the room, Meng Jun first pushed open the window to take a look, then took out the small mirror he had asked Ah Ning for from his sleeve and placed it on the table. He carefully put the flower wreath on his head and happily looked at himself.
Mm, Li Ruantang’s taste was not bad. The flowers she chose complemented his complexion very well.
“Jiujiu.”
Ah Ning’s voice came from outside the window. “The water is boiled. You—”
Before he could finish, Hu Youning, who poked his head in to look, choked on the spot.
Jiujiu’s appearance was incomparable, but with the flower wreath on his hair, it was indeed a bit too bright, as if a dye shop had been brought over, with red, purple, yellow, and blue all in full force.
Hu Youning watched with a slightly twitching mouth corner. These colors, only Jiujiu’s fair skin could pull them off. If it were any other male concubine, who knows how many children would be scared to tears.
But the smiling young gentleman didn’t think so.
“Ah Ning, look!” Meng Jun’s mouth corners lifted high. “Doesn’t it suit me well?”
The joy between the young gentleman’s brows was full to the brim. How could Hu Youning speak the truth? He nodded dumbly.
Behind him, footsteps approached.
Hu Youning turned around respectfully and greeted, “Madam Li.”
“Does Young Master Hu have something to discuss with Jiujiu? Go inside and talk.” Li Ruantang, who came out from the main hall, smiled warmly and took a careful look at Hu Youning.
The person standing in the yard hurriedly shook his head. “It’s nothing special. The water is just boiled. I came to ask Jiujiu when he needs the water.”
He lowered his head, not daring to look at her. From the corner of his eye, he glanced inside the window and saw a bed made and two pillows placed together.
Hu Youning was slightly stunned.
But he still heard her gentle voice in his ear. “Thank you for your trouble, Young Master Hu. Since the water is boiled, I’ll go fetch it. Young Master Hu is also tired from the day, hurry back to your room and rest.”
Footsteps came and went in the yard.

Ex-husband Wants Reconciliation (Female-dominant)
One-line summary: Chasing the wife to the crematorium (making an effort to attract someone who has become indifferent), the female lead doesn’t look back, the second male lead takes the position.
Synopsis:
To repay the kindness of the older generation, Su Mu crossed into a female-dominated world and became a live-in daughter-in-law of the Yan family, single-handedly saving the Yan family from fire and water.
But her husband, Yan Jiyue, the eldest son of the Yan family, treated her with sarcasm and never showed her a good face.
He even had his eyes on another woman.
It wasn’t until after Su Mu’s death that this pampered and arrogant young master shed a few fake tears and pretended to want to die for love.
Su Mu expressed her disdain.
This life’s kindness was enough. If there was a next life, she would definitely kick Yan Jiyue away.
She also wanted to embrace Xie Yi, who had silently stayed by her side in her previous life and committed suicide by taking poison after her death.
Who knew that the heavens would be so kind as to allow her to be reborn, returning to the time when she had just married into the Yan family.
Su Mu glanced at the Yan eldest son, who still spoke coldly to her, and threw a divorce letter in front of him.
“Let’s divorce!”
—–
Yan Jiyue never imagined that he would be reborn. He happily went to find Su Mu, wanting to make up for the mistakes he had made in his ignorant youth.
Wasn’t the reason the heavens allowed him to be reborn to let him reconcile with Su Mu?
But when he pushed open the door to Su Mu’s room, the person lying on the bed was another man.
Su Mu’s personal attendant, Xie Yi.
Yan Jiyue hated him so much that his teeth itched. In front of Su Mu, Xie Yi was a gentle and considerate whisperer of sweet nothings, but in reality, he was vicious-hearted and deliberately sabotaged their husband and wife relationship.
In the previous life, it was he who secretly hid in Su Mu’s coffin and committed suicide, stealing a step ahead of him to be buried with Su Mu.
Yan Jiyue’s eyes were filled with hatred as he cursed, “What kind of thing are you? Your background is lowly, what right do you have to occupy Su Mu?”
Xie Yi looked at the sleeping Su Mu and no longer pretended to be a whisperer of sweet nothings.
He proudly stuck out his belly, “I have the right because my belly is capable of giving the Wife-master a daughter.”
