Guan Tong obediently handed the bowl over to Lu Han. He swiftly took the bowl and poured the mixture into the flower pot without looking at it. Guan Tong’s heart ached when she saw it. The herbal mixtures were expensive, and there were a few medicinal herbs in the bag that she regretted going to waste.

“You are not qualified to bear my child.” Lu Han said coldly as he stared at Guan Tong. However, Guan Tong was not frightened by Lu Han’s expression.

“Oh, I understand.” Guan Tong replied.

“You will sleep on the floor tonight.” Lu Han said to Guan Tong.

Guan Tong was speechless. She had already been sleeping on the floor for the past few days. It was not like she would climb into his bed.

It was late that night that Guan Tong, who had been tired all day, fell asleep very quickly. Lu Han’s eyes darkened when he heard the sound of breathing coming from the floor near his bed. He couldn’t believe the girl would fall asleep this quickly. She slept soundly until dawn, and so did Lu Han. 

When he woke up, Lu Han felt absent-minded. He almost couldn’t remember the last time he had a good sleep like this. As he looked down to see Guan Tong’s sleeping face, apart from her facial scars, Guan Tong’s beauty was undeniable.

When Guan Tong woke up, Lu Han had already been awake for a while. She saw him lean against the bed and was thinking of something. The sunlight was shining on the side of Lu Han’s face. He did not look like a monster at that moment but instead a divine, ethereal god. Guan Tong was stunned. She did not expect Lu Han to have this side in him.

“Well, are you stunned by my beauty?” Lu Han jokingly said with a faint smile. In that instant, Guan Tong’s beautiful illusion of Lu Han shattered immediately.

“Young Master, what nonsense are you talking about so early in the morning?”

As sharp-tongued as he was, it was rare for Lu Han to want to chit-chat with Guan Tong. Suddenly, they heard a knock on the door.

‘Oh no, could it be that the Old Madam came to check on him?’ Guan Tong thought as she recalled reading something like this in the novels before.

Guan Tong, with a panic, threw her pillow onto the bed at lightning speed that missed Lu Han’s head by an inch. Lu Han rubbed the space between his eyebrows as he contemplated why he kept this girl by his side in the first place. Guan Tong tidied up her clothes and ran to open the door— it was Liu Juan.

“Why aren’t you up yet?” Liu Juan asked as soon as she entered the door. Guan Tong was stunned. She felt that Liu Juan didn’t come with good intentions.

“I slept too late last night.” Guan Tong was being honest, but Liu Juan misunderstood her reply. 

‘Could it be that the two of them have successfully consummated their marriage?’ Liu Juan’s expression became strange. She stuck her head in to take a look, and sure enough, the room looked messy as if Guan Tong had just got out of bed.

“That’s good. I have to go and tell Mother.” Liu Juan forced a smile.

“Thank you for your effort, aunty.” Guan Tong said with a smile. When Liu Juan heard this, she left without looking back.

Guan Tong heaved a sigh of relief. Then, she heard a sneer coming from the bedside. It was Lu Han.

“What are you laughing at?” Guan Tong was puzzled.

“I’m afraid your words will make Liu Juan very angry.” Lu Han said to Guan Tong as he explained. 

Liu Juan had long fancied her position as the head of the Lu family and wanted her son to be the head. However, she usually disguised her true intentions well, and the Old Madam was kind-hearted, so the Old Madam didn’t take any further action. How could Liu Juan be happy for Guan Tong if she could bear a child? Guan Tong thought about it carefully, and it made sense. The Lu family was big, so there was a high chance of more secrets hidden under the surface.

“Put away that gossipy look of yours.” Lu Han sneered at the curious girl.

“Think about how to deal with Grandmother later. She’s not as gullible as Liu Juan.” Lu Han warned. 

Guan Tong smiled bitterly when she heard Lu Han’s words. Sure enough, this round would be a difficult one.

“Can I… Can I just say that you couldn’t get the job done?” Guan Tong thought about it for a while. This was probably the best solution, and she couldn’t be held accountable in this case, too.

“No.” Lu Han’s lips twitched. He was unpleased by the girl’s audacity.

Guan Tong lowered her head and looked aggrieved. Lu Han didn’t know why, but his heart softened when he saw Guan Tong’s expression. So he picked up a dagger under the pillow, cut his finger, and dripped down his blood on the bedsheet. As Guan Tong raised her head and saw what was happening, she was stunned. She almost couldn’t believe that Lu Han was helping her.

“You…” Guan Tong starred at Lu Han in disbelief.

“Cut the crap.” Lu Han felt like his head was going crazy. He almost couldn’t believe that he was helping this girl.

Guan Tong was still surprised that there was a dagger under Lu Han’s pillow. Fortunately, she didn’t try anything during the night. Otherwise, she would have been stabbed by Lu Han. Just the thought of it was enough to frighten her.

“Do you know what you’ll have to say?” Lu Han raised his eyes.

“I know, I know.” Guan Tong quickly nodded. As she said this, she heard a knock on the door again. Liu Juan came to tell her to go to the front hall. When Guan Tong arrived at the front hall, she saw the Old Madam looking at her with a smile. She felt that each step she took was heavier and heavier.

“Grandmother.” Guan Tong greeted the Old Madam respectfully.

“Tongtong is here.” The Old Madam jovially rejoiced.

‘Even the way she addressed me had changed. It seemed that this great-grandson holds a powerful force.’ Guan Tong had thought to herself.

“How was last night?” The Old Madam excitedly asked with a smile.

“It was good…” Guan Tong wanted to cry, but she couldn’t. She felt like she was being strangled to answer such an embarrassing question in public..
