"Maintain a serious countenance and proper conduct, in service of one's husband…"
She had memorized the *Women's Precepts* so thoroughly she knew it by heart. How could she not know the meaning of the word "husband"?
Lu Xiu had said it so casually. Liang Wan looked at his indifferent face, feeling as if she were in a daze.
'See him as my husband?'
Lu Xiu watched her patiently, waiting.
Liang Wan lowered her gaze, her voice quiet. "Husband."
Her chin was gently lifted, their eyes meeting in midair. Lu Xiu's dark eyes were inscrutable. "You have much to learn."
After speaking, he didn't release her hand, simply leading her out of the courtyard.
On a typical day, the Master's Mansion was not crowded. Both the Minister, Lu Xu, and the General of Cavalry, Lu Huai, were long married and had their own residences.
Thus, in the vast Master's Mansion, the only permanent residents were the Grandmaster and Lu Xiu.
