Chapter 1642: 1642 good men should not deceive their wives

His appetite was much larger than that of ordinary people. When he was in Wushan Village, he had to eat four big bowls. Back then, in that poor household, he and his second brother could both eat a lot, eating away their poverty.

Later, he established his career, but without her, he could barely manage two bowls, always lacking appetite.

With her staying, he felt joy in his heart, and his appetite returned.

Li Mu stood by his side, noticing the Valley Master’s larger consumption than usual, and said with shame, "It’s my fault, I didn’t dare to serve you meals yesterday."

Last night, the Valley Master was in a stupor. To feed him, they would have had to pry open his mouth. How could the servants dare to do such a disrespectful act to their master? They didn’t dare.

So yesterday, the bowl of porridge remained unfed.

"It’s alright." Xiao Yuchuan finished the last bowl of rice, contemplating that eating more would make him healthier and his injury recover faster.

His wife’s heart was much harder than before. If he kept lying on the bed, constantly injured, there would be no way he could catch up if she decided to leave again.

If his health improved, she wouldn’t be able to shake him off.

Wei Qingyi was amazed by the Valley Master’s food intake. She herself got full with just half a bowl per meal, wary of eating too much in order to maintain her slim figure.

However, for men, eating more was normal and indicated a healthy body.

She had hoped all night that the Valley Master would notice her pale facial expression, hoping he would ask why she looked unwell. She could then take the opportunity to confess that she worried for him and had waited all night, hoping to evoke his sympathy.

Unexpectedly, the Valley Master didn’t ask at all.

To make matters worse, Su Xingyun severely injured him, and upon waking, instead of ordering someone to kill Mr. Su, he wanted to see him?

That really... drove her mad!

After eating, Xiao Yuchuan drank a bowl of soup, feeling much more spirited, "Help me up."

Wei Qingyi stepped forward to assist, but before she could touch his sleeve, Xiao Yuchuan coldly rebuked, "Get lost."

"Yes." Qingyi didn’t dare to defy.

Xiao Yuchuan thought to himself, his wife was still angry. If she saw another woman take advantage of him, wouldn’t she twist his ears off, "Li Mu, come over and help me."

Li Mu carefully helped Xiao Yuchuan up. Seeing that the Valley Master’s upper body was unclothed, he fetched a purple outer robe, "Valley Master, let me assist you in changing clothes."

"Change into a white one." Xiao Yuchuan thought for a moment, then threw the purple robe back into the wardrobe, putting on a luxurious white silk robe instead.

Purple was close to red in color and would make it hard to notice if the wound bled later.

Wearing white was different; if his wound bled, it would be noticeable, and his wife couldn’t ignore it.

It would surely evoke her concern.

He considered whether or not to use some fake blood to stain his chest, pretending the wound was already bleeding... But then he thought better of it. A good man shouldn’t deceive his wife.

With his current severe injury, just a little movement would cause the wound to bleed.

Dear wife, you must be concerned for me.

After changing his clothes, Li Mu wanted to help him comb his hair.

He disliked being served by maids, so Li Mu served both as his trusted guard and personal attendant.

"Don’t bother combing my hair, let it be messy." Xiao Yuchuan pondered, "If it’s too neat, she’ll think I’m doing well without her. In days without her, I’ve spat blood countless times."

"Yes." Li Mu’s mouth twitched. Others didn’t know their master’s true feelings for his former wife, but he did.

As the master’s close attendant, deeply trusted, he naturally knew that Su Xingyun was actually Su Qingyue, disguised as a man.
