Lan Yan was taken aback. It seemed Jun Yelan knew everything. "Eunuch, that marriage certificate was the best method I could think of. Now that everyone knows I'm your fiancée, you can't just separate from me."
She also had a selfish desire: to have a legitimate identity with Jun Yelan.
Jun Yelan's heart trembled. He gently pulled Lan Yan into his arms. He hadn't wanted to separate from her anyway, and he was gradually growing accustomed to her presence.
In fact, when he learned of this, a trace of joy stirred deep within him. This way, everyone would know Lan Yan was his, and no one would dare to covet her.
Lan Yan leaned against Jun Yelan's chest with a sense of peace, her lips curving into an uncontrollable smile. She had won this round completely!
Fearing he might lose control, Jun Yelan released Lan Yan after a short while. He looked into her eyes and said, "From now on, you are the Madam of this manor. No one will dare to bully you, whether inside or outside."
"If anyone is foolish enough, tell me, and I'll teach them a lesson."
"Really?" Lan Yan giggled. "Then I can act the part of the tiger by borrowing its might. If I had known that Yan Ming would dare to confront me today, I should have taught him a harsher lesson, since you're backing me up."
Jun Yelan was amused. "It's not too late now." He took Lan Yan's hand and walked towards the door.
Before Lan Yan could react, Jun Yelan led her to a courtyard she had never seen before.
Jun Yelan embraced Lan Yan's waist and flew to the rooftop. He lifted a tile, revealing Yan Ming drinking below, and a few small pebbles appeared in his palm.
"For you to get revenge."
Lan Yan finally understood that Jun Yelan had brought her here specifically for revenge. Her face lit up with a smile, surprised by this side of Jun Yelan.
She picked up a pebble, aimed at Yan Ming, who was drinking below, and threw it towards his forehead.
"Ah!" Yan Ming shouted, touching his forehead, and angrily exclaimed, "Who is it?" He looked at the doorway, but it was empty. He continued drinking while rubbing his forehead.
Lan Yan then threw a second pebble, hitting the back of Yan Ming's head.
Yan Ming choked violently on his drink and coughed intensely. He looked around, growing even more annoyed. "Who is it? Who dares to cause trouble in Grandpa's manor."
As he spoke, his forehead, the back of his head, and his lips were all struck. In a panic, he hid under the table. Trembling, he cried out, "Great divine beings, what have I done to offend you? Please spare me."
Lan Yan, from above, desperately suppressed her laughter and murmured, "He always bullies the Eunuch, he deserves it."
Jun Yelan's heart warmed. As the Yan manor guards arrived, he took Lan Yan away.
Walking along the road, he saw how happy Lan Yan was and said with a smile, "From now on, if he dares to say anything to you once, I'll take you to beat him up. After a few times, he'll naturally behave."
"Okay." Lan Yan's smile never left her lips. This was her first time doing something like this, but it felt so good. "Eunuch, you've helped me vent my anger. If you ever get angry, tell me, and I'll get revenge for you."
"Don't underestimate me, I'm very capable."
A hint of indulgence appeared in Jun Yelan's eyes. "Yes, you are already quite capable." He wouldn't let Lan Yan be in danger. Her words were enough.
"Heh heh." Lan Yan knew Jun Yelan was indulging her, but she was happy to hear it. With a smile, she returned to the manor with Jun Yelan.
The people in the manor saw them return and called out, "Eunuch, Madam, greetings."
Lan Yan suddenly realized her title had changed. She nodded with satisfaction. "Hello everyone." She turned to look at Jun Yelan. Since they were now husband and wife, they shouldn't sleep in separate rooms.
She ran towards the corridor, "Eunuch, you go back first, I'll be there shortly."
Jun Yelan smiled helplessly, already almost accustomed to Lan Yan's ways.
So, Lan Yan returned to her room, packed her things, and said solemnly to Jun Xiao Yao, "Xiao Yao, you've grown up now, it's time for you to sleep alone. If anything happens at night, find Aunt Hui next door."
Jun Xiao Yao giggled, "Understood, Sister-in-law." She was overjoyed that Sister Lan had finally become her sister-in-law.
"Such a good girl." Lan Yan couldn't help but pat Jun Xiao Yao's head. Then, she picked up her clothes and bedding and headed towards Jun Yelan's courtyard.
Jun Yelan was in his room and was taken aback to see Lan Yan carrying a large bag of belongings. "What are you doing?" he asked, taking her packages with a look of bewilderment.
Lan Yan wiped some sweat from her forehead and patted the packages. "Of course, I'm coming to sleep with you."
Jun Yelan's pupils widened in shock, almost dropping the packages. He thought of his status and exclaimed, "No."
"What's not to like? We are husband and wife now, and you yourself acknowledged it, Eunuch." Lan Yan put on a wronged expression. "Are you going to divorce me, Eunuch? We've only been married for half a day."
Jun Yelan was always helpless when Lan Yan looked at him like that. He sighed, "Fine, I'll help you unpack." He would sleep on the soft couch tonight.
Lan Yan immediately showed a triumphant smile. "Good." She then opened the packages, spread the bedding on the bed, and put the clothes in the cabinet. She turned to see Jun Yelan standing still, noticing her personal clothing in front of him, and quickly put them away.
She inexplicably blushed. "I'll pack them myself." She quickly packed everything, not noticing Jun Yelan's reddening ears beside her.
Jun Yelan put some miscellaneous items into the cabinet. Seeing the space half-filled, he felt a sense of satisfaction. He was no longer alone; from now on, he would share his joys and sorrows with someone.
After finishing, it was already dark, and Lan Yan was exhausted. She lay down on the bed, ready to rest. She even moved over, leaving half the space for Jun Yelan, and fell asleep before he could come over.
Jun Yelan returned after washing up and saw Lan Yan sleeping soundly. He smiled helplessly again. He took out his bedding from the cabinet, spread it on the floor, and lay down with peace of mind.
That night, for the first time in a long time, he did not have nightmares, nor did he dream of the cannibalistic days in the palace.
The next morning, Lan Yan woke up and saw Jun Yelan putting on his official uniform. She quickly got up, picked up the belt hanging nearby, and said with a smile, "Eunuch, let me help you."
Jun Yelan was about to say no, but Lan Yan had already come over, and he couldn't help but freeze in place.
Lan Yan leaned close to Jun Yelan's chest, placing the belt in her hand around his waist, trying hard to fasten it. But she couldn't see the back, and she murmured, "Strange, why won't it buckle?"
Jun Yelan couldn't help but smile. He reached back, took Lan Yan's hand, and fastened the belt.
"So that's how it's done. I've got it now," Lan Yan said, looking up at Jun Yelan with a smile.
Jun Yelan looked at Lan Yan's small face and realized his breathing had become uneven. His gaze involuntarily fixed on Lan Yan's lips.
