Having many handsome men means no worries; pampering them all keeps me in good spirits.

Chapter 158 Capturing Shen Yuan

Liang Cheng, who was standing to the side, looked thoughtful. Had Shen Yuan hidden away?

Could it be... because of the prescription?

Did he not open the box he had given him that day?

With many questions in mind, Liang Cheng silently kept the search for the Abyss in his heart.

He was determined to find Shen Yuan and find out the truth about that day…

Many hands make light work, and by nightfall, Ling Feng had found Shen Yuan sitting on the roof of Chaoyang Palace.

When Shen Yuan saw him, he immediately turned around and tried to run away, but Ling Feng grabbed his belt with lightning speed.

Shen Yuan was momentarily immobilized, standing rooted to the spot, his eyes slightly lowered, pleading, "Ling Feng, please let me go. Just pretend you've never seen me today..."

Ling Feng asked疑惑地问道, "Do you know how worried your husband was when he couldn't find you? Why did you hide?"

Shen Yuan looked troubled. "There are many things I can't explain clearly, but I have my reasons. I'm no longer worthy of my husband..."

Ling Feng slowly walked up to Shen Yuan and said softly, "That day you were willing to die to save your husband. I believe you love your husband more than you love yourself. How can you say you are not good enough for him? Come with me to see your husband and tell him your troubles. I believe he will understand you."

Shen Yuan shook his head frantically, "You don't understand..."

Having said that, while Ling Feng was deep in thought, she broke free from his grasp and flew away, disappearing into the night...

Ling Feng gritted his teeth. Damn it… Shen Yuan, whom he had almost gotten his hands on, had escaped just like that. How was he going to explain this to his husband?

Shen Yuan, who had just escaped from Ling Feng, had just landed on a tree when he ran into Xuan Ye, who was lying in wait there.

They both tried to escape, but were still caught by their belts...

Shen Yuan said speechlessly, "Even you want to take me back?"

Xuan Ye said calmly, "I don't really care about your departure, but I will obey my husband's orders."

Shen Yuan frowned. "But our relationship should be based on mutual understanding. You should also understand how much I love my husband and how much I can't live without him... I really have my reasons..."

Upon hearing this, Xuan Yewei slightly loosened her grip, turned her head away from him, and said, "Tonight, pretend I've never seen you, but next time we meet, I won't let you leave again..."

Shen Yuan said gratefully, "Thank you..."

Having said that, he flew away again.

But just as they settled into the stable, they encountered Lu Nian, who was training horses.

Both times they turned and ran quickly, and both times their belts were grabbed...

But unlike the previous two times, his belt was snatched by a horse...

Lu Nian chuckled, "I've searched high and low without finding it, but it's right here in my sight. Tell me, why did you hide?"

Shen Yuan's face darkened. "Lu Nian, can you make it open its mouth first?"

Lu Nian casually picked up a bundle of reins and tied Shen Yuan's feet before ordering the horse to unmistakably release its mouth.

Shen Yuan let out a long sigh, lowered his eyes, and said, "I did something that my husband finds most taboo... so I have no face to face her anymore..."

Lu Nian raised an eyebrow: "Oh? What is it? Tell me."

Recalling his experience in prison that day, Shen Yuan couldn't help but shudder, and a wave of nausea rose in his stomach.

He quickly bent down, gagged a few times, and then slumped to the ground, staring blankly at the bright crescent moon.

In an instant, a dark cloud drifted by, covering a corner of the moon. Shen Yuan smiled as if mocking himself, "Heh, how can such a pure moon be tainted by dark clouds?"

Upon hearing this, Lu Nian raised his head slightly to look at the sky. After a moment, he said softly, "The dark clouds will eventually dissipate, and the moon will regain its former clarity. Why are you so sad?"

Seeing that Shen Yuan didn't respond, Lu Nian quickly lowered her eyes and looked to the side...

How cunning... he managed to change the subject and let him escape...

After running around, Shen Yuan's stomach was growling with hunger. He tiptoed to the small kitchen, hoping to find something to eat.

As luck would have it, he ran into Liang Cheng, who was working on a new recipe...

He turned to run away again, and his belt was grabbed again...

But Liang Cheng didn't know martial arts and wasn't very strong, so he was dragged a long way away.

Shen Yuan stopped and turned around, saying helplessly, "Did you all plan this together? Why are you all grabbing your belts?"

Liang Cheng was panting heavily, "My husband said, 'To beat someone, hit their groin; to grab someone, grab their belt…'"

Shen Yuan rubbed his forehead. Sure enough, it was an idea his husband could come up with…

After catching his breath, Liang Cheng saw that Shen Yuan was about to run away again, and quickly said, "I know why you're hiding!"

Shen Yuan paused, standing still and waiting for Liang Cheng's next words.

Liang Cheng continued, "Didn't you open the box I gave you?"

Shen Yuan nodded slightly. "It's open..."

Hearing this, Liang Cheng felt relieved and asked in confusion, "Then why are you still avoiding your husband?"

Shen Yuan bit his lower lip, his eyes dimming. "Even so, I still feel dirty..."

Liang Cheng quickly stepped forward to comfort her, saying, "How could that be... The situation was urgent at the time, and you had no choice but to do it. Not only your husband, but all of us are very grateful to you for retrieving the prescription. Your husband has always been open-minded; he won't hold this against you!"

Shen Yuan shook his head. "You don't understand... my husband... values ​​her innocence extremely highly..."

I remember when he came to Da'an as an envoy to discuss the marriage alliance, my husband mistakenly thought he was having an affair…

The look of disgust on her husband's face at that moment... pierced his heart with unbearable pain...

He couldn't bear to see that expression on his husband's face anymore; it was worse than killing him…

It would be better to hide in the shadows every day and secretly watch her husband's every smile and frown. As long as he is safe and happy, she will have no regrets in this life...

Liang Cheng wanted to say something more, but Shen Yuan broke free and vanished again...

The next day, after breakfast, Jiang Qingyan hurriedly asked everyone if there had been any progress in the search for the Abyss.

Those who had captured Shen Yuan last night were all incredibly conflicted.

They wanted to tell their husband that Shen Yuan was right beside them, but they couldn't bring themselves to tell him to escape from their grasp...

Seeing that no one spoke, Jiang Qingyan sighed softly, "Alright, you all go back first, I want to be alone..."

Gulimee asked in confusion, "Husband, who is Jingjing?"

Jiang Qingyan said speechlessly, "You guys should go back now."

Gulimi quickly shut her mouth and left Chaoyang Palace with the others.

Only Liang Cheng walked slowly, as if he had something to say.

Jiang Qingyan asked in confusion, "Liang Cheng, what happened to your foot?"

Liang Cheng pursed his lips, as if he had made a decision, and said seriously, "Husband, I know why Shen Yuan is avoiding you!"

Upon hearing this, Jiang Qingyan's eyes lit up immediately, and she asked eagerly, "Tell me quickly, what is it about him?"

Liang Cheng then explained the whole story to Jiang Qingyan.

After a moment of silence, Jiang Qingyan's eyes stung, and she choked out, "Shen Yuan... he's been wronged..."

Liang Cheng asked, "Will your husband dislike him because of this?"

Jiang Qingyan quickly shook her head, denying it, "How could that be? He acted that way because of me... How could I possibly dislike him..."

Liang Chang breathed a sigh of relief, completely at ease. "I knew my husband was open-minded and wouldn't change his attitude towards him over something like this. When I see him again, I'll definitely make my husband's feelings clear to him!"

Suddenly, he slumped his head in dejection and muttered, "But we already alerted them last night, so catching Shen Yuan will probably be difficult now..."

Jiang Qingyan pondered for a moment, then said, "Now that I know the cause and effect... I have an idea!"
