The Scum Gong’s Redemption Manual (Quick Transmigration) 55

Chapter 55

The next morning, when Lu Ze woke up, he moved his body slightly, and his brows couldn’t help but furrow.

This body is too weak…

He fumbled to the side, and what he touched was a patch of coolness. The person next to the bed seemed to have already left.

Lu Ze opened his eyes, looked at the red silk ribbon in front of him, and was in a daze for a while before he slowly sat up.

The maids outside heard the noise, pushed the door open, and entered in a line. Each of them was holding clothes and a hair crown, as well as all kinds of toiletries, and stood on the side, and respectfully called out:

“Master.”

Lu Ze hummed in agreement and tilted his head to ask, “What time is it?”

“Replying to the master, it’s already the hour of the dragon.”

Lu Ze rubbed his temples and asked again, “Where’s the Marquis?”

The leading maid paused and said, “The Marquis is in the training ground.”

Lu Ze paused and glanced at the sky outside. “When did the Marquis leave?”

The maid replied, “At the hour of the rabbit.”

Lu Ze got out of bed. “Does he always get up at this time?”

“Replying to the master, the Marquis usually… wakes up at the hour of the rabbit.”

He woke up late today.

Hearing this, Lu Ze didn’t know what to think. After a moment, the corners of his mouth curled up slightly.

The maids didn’t dare to make a sound.

On the second day of the wedding, the husband had gotten up early and was still full of energy to go and practice martial arts, but the master had slept until now…

777 keenly sensed that his mood was not very good and cautiously comforted him, “Don’t worry, Host. When you work hard to exercise in the future, you’ll be able to make him unable to get out of bed too.”

Lu Ze was silent for a moment and asked in disbelief, “Who taught you these words?”

777 was shy for a while. “I took a crash course on how to be a good system a while ago. Don’t you like it, Host?”

“You’ve learned well,” Lu Ze said. “Be good. Don’t learn anymore in the future. If you have points, you can buy more food.”

777 was moved. “You’re so nice, Host.”

Lu Ze stood up, and the maid quickly wanted to help him dress. “This servant will serve you, master.”

Lu Ze’s action paused. He glanced at her. The young girl’s features were clear and gentle, and her figure was graceful. She could be considered a top-notch beauty, but her expression was respectful and proper.

He interrupted her action. “No need. I’ll do it myself.”

The maid’s expression paused slightly, and then she obediently retreated, stood on the side with her head lowered, and said respectfully, “The kitchen has already prepared breakfast. Does the master want to have it served first?”

While tying his belt, Lu Ze asked, “Has the Marquis had breakfast?”

The maid shook her head. “The Marquis usually has breakfast after he comes back from the training ground.”

Lu Ze washed up with clean water. Hearing this, he glanced at her again and asked, “Have you been with the Marquis for a long time?”

The maid smiled. “This servant is Chunxin. I’ve been with the Marquis since he returned to the capital, helping him manage the affairs of the mansion.”

Lu Ze glanced at her. “Since you’re in charge, why did you come here to serve?”

Chunxin said, “The servants in the mansion have all just been added. I was afraid that they would be clumsy and offend the master, so I was asked to serve the master first.”

Lu Ze tidied his hair crown and just said, “Is there anyone with the Marquis?”

The maid said, “The Marquis is only accompanied by a young servant named Chuntai. There are no maids to serve him.”

Lu Ze said, “I’m not used to having people around me either. You can just do your own thing in the future. You don’t have to serve me.”

Chunxin paused and replied, “Yes.”

Lu Ze looked out the door and strode out. “Where is the training ground? Lead the way.”

Chunxin was stunned for a moment, then quickly followed. “Please follow me, master.”

This residence was called the Lu Residence, and it was a gift from His Majesty for the original host’s wedding. In name, it was a gift to Lu Ze, but in reality, everyone knew what was going on, as the residence itself was a military general’s mansion, and there was also a large training ground and even a racecourse that occupied a large area.

Even the renovation of the residence and the decorations for the wedding were specially ordered by the emperor to be handled by the Ministry of Works and the Ministry of Rites. The reason why it was given to Lu Ze was just to save him from being said to be marrying into the family and to give this Tanhualang some face.

Wei Yan actually had his own marquis’s mansion, but he chose to get married here. To outsiders, it was also him marrying, not Lu Ze marrying into the family, which showed that he had given the original host enough face. Even later, he let the original host use the marquis’s mansion’s money for food, clothing, and entertainment, and even to take concubines. If it weren’t for the marquis’s mansion’s property, how could the original host, a poor boy, have lived so comfortably in the capital?

But unfortunately, a greedy person could never be satisfied. Wei Yan didn’t care about anything and turned a blind eye to their actions, but he never expected that the only thing he cared about would be destroyed by their own hands.

The mansion was very large. Lu Ze walked for a long time before he reached the training ground that Chunxin had mentioned.

Before he got close, he heard the sound of weapons clashing, which was crisp and clear, and there was also a humming sound that echoed throughout the training ground.

Lu Ze got a little closer and looked up. He saw a large, empty arena in the middle, with a row of various weapons on the edge. And in the center of the arena, a man in a black short-sleeved shirt was wielding a long spear, his eyes sharp, and he was fighting back and forth with the person in front of him. Every move showed his strength and sharpness.

Lu Ze stood not far from the arena, his gaze fixed on the center of the arena. Chunxin stood behind him and introduced, “The one fighting with the Marquis is Deputy General Sun. He has always been under the Marquis’s command.”

Lu Ze hummed in agreement, his gaze focused on the center of the arena. He saw that Deputy General Sun was holding a large saber. As time went on, he became more and more exhausted, and his attacks were on the verge of collapsing. His blocking movements also became more and more rushed, and he was obviously overwhelmed. But Wei Yan was controlling the long spear, as if it were an extension of his arm, and his speed was getting faster and faster, and his attacks were getting sharper and sharper.

In the end, Wei Yan flicked the tip of his spear, made a feint, and the tip of the spear was firmly pointed at Deputy General Sun’s throat.

Deputy General Sun’s throat moved slightly, and beads of sweat slid down his face. With the sound of the large saber falling to the ground, it hit the ground and formed a small puddle.

He had a bitter look on his face and sighed, “The boss’s spear skills are getting better and better.”

Wei Yan didn’t even turn his head. He casually threw the long spear back, and it accurately landed in the weapon rack. He snorted and glanced at him. “I think you’re the one who’s been slacking.”

Deputy General Sun chuckled and complained, “This capital is not like the north. There are no wars to fight, and you can’t use real weapons when you fight with those soldiers. After a long time, your body will rust.”

As he spoke, his gaze suddenly fell behind Wei Yan. He looked a few more times and asked curiously, “Boss, who is that young master over there? I’ve never seen him before.”

Hearing this, Wei Yan’s heart skipped a beat. He subconsciously looked back and saw a person in a moon-white long robe, his features gentle and jade-like, and his gaze was smiling as he looked over. When he saw him look over, his eyes even curved slightly.

Wei Yan didn’t expect Lu Ze to come. He was a little surprised for a moment, and also a little at a loss. He hesitated for a while, then quickly walked to the edge, jumped off the arena, and stood in front of him. He coughed lightly and said, “Why are you here?”

Lu Ze let out a light laugh, his expression gentle. “I woke up and didn’t see you. I heard from Chunxin that you were in the training ground, so I came to have a look.”

Hearing this, Wei Yan couldn’t help but glance at Chunxin, as if he were blaming her for bringing him over. Chunxin covered her lips and chuckled softly. “Marquis, the master asked where the Marquis was as soon as he woke up in the morning. He didn’t even eat breakfast and wanted to rush over to see you. This servant couldn’t stop him.”

Wei Yan was a little at a loss for words for a moment. He glanced at Lu Ze and said, “I’m used to getting up early to practice for a while. You can just eat your own food. Why did you have to come and find me?”

Hearing this, Lu Ze didn’t reply, but just took a step forward, took out the handkerchief he was carrying, and raised his arm slightly.

Seeing this, Wei Yan subconsciously took a step back. He saw Lu Ze was slightly stunned, his expression questioning. He couldn’t help but cough lightly and explained dryly, “I-I just sweated. It’s dirty.”

“A handkerchief is for wiping sweat.” Lu Ze looked at him with disapproval, took another step forward, and raised his hand to gently wipe away the beads of sweat on his forehead.

Wei Yan’s body was a little stiff. His height was already something to be proud of among gers, and he was not inferior even among men, but he was a little shorter than Lu Ze after all, so at this moment, he could only stare at his clean and tidy face, smell the fragrance of his clothes, and feel his own sweaty clothes sticking to his body. For some reason, he felt that he was a bit of a mess standing with him.

He felt Lu Ze’s gentle movements and licked his lips. “I’ll be fine after I go back and wash up. There’s no need to go to such trouble.”

Hearing this, Lu Ze paused, looked down at him, and his voice was a little lonely. “You’ve refused me time and again, Marquis. Is it because you don’t like me doing this to you?”

Wei Yan suddenly looked up. “I have no such intention!”

“Then don’t say such things in the future, Marquis.” Lu Ze’s tone was light. He reached out his fair and jade-like fingers and gently tidied the bangs on his forehead. “Since I am the Marquis’s husband, there is no such thing as trouble or not trouble. I am willing to do so.”

He tidied his hair, then slowly slid down, held his hand that was hanging by his side, and his eyes curved. “I hope the Marquis will not refuse.”

Wei Yan felt his hand being wrapped in a warm and dry palm, and his Adam’s apple couldn’t help but roll up and down. He said, “If you like it, just do as you please. It’s all up to you.”

“I can do whatever I like?” Lu Ze asked.

“Naturally,” Wei Yan said. “As long as it doesn’t harm heaven and reason, and doesn’t harm the interests of the Great Zhou, you can do as you please.”

“That’s what you said, Marquis. I’ll remember it.” A smile flashed in Lu Ze’s eyes. He held his hand and walked back, and asked, “Are you hungry, Marquis?”

Wei Yan felt it and was slightly silent before he said, “I am a little hungry.”

He usually got up early every day to practice martial arts, and after washing up, he would eat right away, so he wouldn’t be particularly hungry. But today…

Thinking of what had happened last night, Wei Yan’s ears couldn’t help but turn a little red.

It wasn’t that he didn’t feel anything… at the very least, during the competition today, he did feel that some places were a bit strange.

Lu Ze held his hand and said, “Then let’s have someone serve the meal first. We can eat after we go back and wash up.”

Wei Yan agreed, paused, and then added, “If you’re hungry in the future, you don’t have to wait for me. You can eat first.”

But Lu Ze smiled and shook his head. “The Marquis is busy with his affairs, and I will also have to enter the court as an official in the future. It will be rare to see each other on weekdays. I still want to have more time with the Marquis.”

Hearing this, Wei Yan’s heart couldn’t help but move. After a moment of silence, he added, “Then… I’ll try not to go to the training ground in the future, and spend more time with you.”

But Lu Ze’s steps paused. He turned around and looked at him seriously, and shook his head. “No, if the Marquis wants to go to the training ground, you can go.” He paused for a moment, his eyes slightly curved, and he pursed his lips and chuckled softly. “I also like the way the Marquis looks on the training ground. You’re particularly dazzling.” He bent down slightly, slowly moved closer to him, and smiled warmly, his eyes full of affection. “Especially when you’re wielding a long spear. I was thinking, how can there be such a ger, so graceful and moving, and different from all others.”

Wei Yan’s face was calm, but the roots of his ears under his bangs were already completely red, and the other hand hanging by his side couldn’t help but tug at the hem of his clothes.

Most people in the world could not accept a ger who was unconventional. Wei Yan had never had any extravagant hopes, but he didn’t expect to hear such words from the person in front of him when he was covered in sweat and at his most disheveled.

He was in a daze for a moment, wondering if he had heard wrong, or if he had misunderstood.

Lu Ze seemed to know what he was thinking. He suddenly bent down, and his lips gently touched his.

Chunxin was surprised for a moment and quickly and shyly averted her gaze.

Wei Yan was also surprised, but Lu Ze said with a smile, “I’ve wanted to do this for a long time.”
