Transmigrated As My Former Uncle’s Sweetheart

demanded.

“M-my husband…” Lin Qingyuan’s voice trembled so much that she could barely form a sentence.

“Good girl.” The man’s face softened.
He kissed her on her clammy forehead and warned, “Remember, you’re not allowed to keep paintings of any men other than your husband—that’s considered betrayal.
Understand?”

Lin Qingyuan shuddered and opened her mouth to retort, but eventually nodded helplessly when she remembered how ruthless he could be.
“Yes.”

Long Xuan’s face relaxed slightly, and after a while, he finally let go of her.

Lin Qingyuan gave him a feeble kick, then wrapped the covers around herself and rolled over to the inner side of the bed.

Long Xuan was not annoyed by that, and he merely glanced at her before getting up to clean himself.

However, as soon as he got to his feet, he heard a small sound outside the window.

Perking up his ears, he caught Bai He saying in a hushed voice, “You can go back now, Matron Guo.”

“All right, all right.
I’ll go back and report to Madam now so she won’t have to worry anymore,” a maidservant’s joyful voice replied.

Long Xuan was almost unable to believe his ears.

Did his mother-in-law send someone to eavesdrop on him and Qingyuan?

However, when he remembered that he had not consummated his marriage with Qingyuan on their wedding night, he somehow understood why she did this.

It seemed that his mother-in-law had sent someone to eavesdrop on them out of worry.

A corner of his mouth twitched as he glanced at the young woman, who was fast asleep in bed.
She had wailed so agonizingly just now—would his mother-in-law think he had been abusing her?

The thought made him a little sheepish.

Long Xuan’s guess was right—Madam Lin was indeed worried about them.

Although Bai He had told her that they had consummated their marriage, and Yuan’er had also admitted it herself that morning, she was still not too convinced.

After all, her son-in-law had refrained from sleeping with her daughter for a long time after their wedding, so it was possible that her daughter would team up with Bai He to lie to her for the sake of assuaging her concerns.
