The three-month deadline had passed, and the Yanling hunt had begun.

This was Luo Huanghun’s first time participating in a hunt. She had the opportunity in her past life too, but Ren Jingsi would never have brought her. He wished she would disappear from the face of the earth.

However, this time, Ren Jingsi agreed readily. It might have been because he brought Li Ling’er along and needed her as a cover.

The attendees were all of noble birth, so naturally, everything was prepared. After settling in, Luo Huanghun changed into riding attire and planned to pick out a horse for a quick ride.

Before she was married, she often pestered Luo Chenhui to go horseback riding with her, and her equestrian skills were quite impressive.

But she hadn’t expected Li Ling’er to be there. She looked a bit haggard and struck up a conversation with Luo Huanghun, “Sister, can you help me pick out a horse?”

Luo Huanghun went with her to the stables and picked out a horse that looked very docile for her. They both mounted their horses.

Li Ling’er suddenly looked at her, her eyes filled with determination. “Brother Ren treats you differently now… Don’t blame me…”

Before Luo Huanghun could even process the meaning of Li Ling’er’s words, disaster struck!

The horses in the stable suddenly became agitated and charged out in a frenzy. Luo Huanghun and Li Ling’er’s horses were caught in the stampede and soon began to gallop wildly.

Even with her good riding skills, Luo Huanghun was tossed around like a rag doll. She glanced at Li Ling’er beside her, who was about to be thrown off.

She inwardly cursed her bad luck. At this moment, Ren Jingsi rushed over. He glanced at the two of them, then leaped onto Li Ling’er’s horse.

Li Ling’er was saved, but the next second, Luo Huanghun’s horse reared up on its hind legs. She instinctively gripped the horse’s mane, and then her horse bolted away with the herd.

All she heard was Ren Jingsi’s heart-wrenching cry of “Luo Huanghun!” as she poured all her strength into not falling off.

If she fell, she would surely be trampled to death.

But the more dangerous the situation, the clearer Luo Huanghun became. She remembered Li Ling’er’s words: “Brother Ren treats you differently now… Don’t blame me…”

Luo Huanghun realized something and was startled. Just then, a horse galloped up and drew level with hers.

She turned her head and saw a handsome, unfamiliar, and devilishly charming face. He was dressed in luxurious robes, but his eyes were familiar.

It was that man.

He pursed his lips, his expression slightly grim. “Don’t be afraid, you’ll be fine with me here.”

For some reason, Luo Huanghun suddenly wasn’t scared anymore. The man flicked his whip, and it coiled around Luo Huanghun. “Let go!”

Luo Huanghun let go without a second thought and was pulled into the man’s embrace. She tightly hugged his waist.

Nestled within his arms, she felt as safe as if she were encased in a fortress of steel.

But a familiar, infuriating voice came from above her head, accompanied by a sneer. “Holding on so tightly, it’s hard to imagine you’re not doing it on purpose. Tell me, how long have you been lusting after my body? So impatient the moment we meet!”

Luo Huanghun glared up hatefully, about to retort, when she saw the amusement in his eyes.

This was the first time she had seen the man’s face clearly, yet it felt as though she had known him for a long time.

The man smiled slightly, his voice carried away by the wind as their horses galloped. “Luo Huanghun, we can get acquainted this time. My name is Murong Feng!”

We must keep the markers exactly as given, including capitalization and spacing. Also keep the HTML tags exactly as they appear (including

and

). So we need to translate the Chinese content inside each

tag.

We need to be careful to preserve the markers and not add extra text. Also no extra commentary.

We need to translate naturally, idiomatic English, keep tone, slang, emotions, dialogue style.

Let’s translate chapter 9 content.

Original Chinese paragraphs:

1. 三个月能做很多事情。 => In three months, a lot can happen.

2. 任景思真的把李菱儿纳进了门，日日留宿在她那边，谈谈诗词歌赋，谈谈人生哲学，好不快活。 => Shen Jingsi really took Li Linger into his household, staying with her every day, talking poetry, lyrics, philosophy, feeling extremely delighted.

But need natural English.

Let’s translate each paragraph.

Paragraph 1: “In three months, a lot can happen.”

Paragraph 2: “Shen Jingsi truly took Li Linger into his household, staying with her day and night, discussing poetry, lyrics, and philosophy, feeling extremely happy.”

Paragraph 3: “Occasionally, the two would go out to the garden together and encounter Luo Huanghun; Shen Jingsi would only frown at her, and Li Linger’s etiquette never made any mistake.”

Paragraph 4: “After all, she only has two more months left; she can just bow her head a little—what’s the big deal?”

Paragraph 5: “But the servants of the Shen household treat Luo Huanghun, this big madam, with even more disdain, yet she remains indifferent.”

Paragraph 6: “Luo Huanghun claimed she needed to eat fasting and chant sutras and moved to a side courtyard; the place is quiet, and she also has little presence there, making it easier for her to act.”

Paragraph 7: “She had already investigated the layout of the Shen household, and was certain that Luo Chenghui’s private seal was most likely hidden in Shen Xiang’s study.”

Paragraph 8: “But she needed a pretext to get close without raising suspicion, so she personally boiled a bowl of soup, a daughter-in-law offering soup to her father-in-law—perfectly appropriate.”

Paragraph 9: “Luo Huanghun had Qingmei carry the soup, her nerves tense as she entered Shen Xiang’s study, finally finding it in a corner of the bookshelf; he didn’t even bother to hide it, showing how confident he was in dealing with the Luo family.”

Paragraph 10: “Before Luo Huanghun could feel angry, two cuckoo bird calls sounded outside—her and Qingmei’s prearranged signal—someone was coming!”

Paragraph 11: “She hurried out, just closed the door, and saw Shen Xiang approaching, his eyes staring at Luo Huanghun without blinking: ‘What are you doing here?'”

Paragraph 12: “Luo Huanghun replied respectfully: ‘I came to bring soup to Father.'”

Paragraph 13: “Shen Xiang said nothing, but his eyes that could see through people’s hearts fixed on her; Luo Huanghun felt cold sweat seeping from her back, and Qingmei’s hand holding the soup began to tremble.”

Paragraph 14: “This can’t go on like this! It will get exposed!”

Paragraph 15: “Just as Luo Huanghun lifted her head, a figure suddenly appeared beside her; Shen Jingsi grabbed Luo Huanghun’s hand and said to Shen Xiang: ‘The soup tastes good; let her bring you another bowl.'”

Paragraph 16: “Luo Huanghun was startled; Shen Xiang laughed, his dangerous aura instantly disappearing: ‘I see. From now on, let the servants bring it.'”

Paragraph 17: “‘That’s just her filial piety,’ Shen Jingsi said, then took Luo Huanghun and left.”

Paragraph 18: “Shen Xiang looked at the soup on the table, got up and went to the bookshelf, opened a box, saw the seal lying there quietly, closed the lid, then poured out the soup.”

Paragraph 19: “Shen Jingsi followed Luo Huanghun to the side courtyard; Luo Huanghun bowed politely: ‘Thank you, husband.'”

Paragraph 20: “For some reason, Shen Jingsi felt a sudden irritation watching her like that.”

Paragraph 21: “He had already married the one he loved, Li Linger; in two months, the divorce papers would take effect, and Li Linger would become his wife, their phoenix and mandarin ducks singing, loving until white-haired.”

Paragraph 22: “But seeing Luo Huanghun’s completely indifferent attitude toward him, he found himself unable to adapt.”

Paragraph 23: “Just as when he stayed at Li Linger’s place, he would suddenly recall the way Luo Huanghun used to look at him, full of love.”

Paragraph 24: “At those times, he would go to the side courtyard, look at the dim yellow light, listen to Luo Huanghun and Qingmei’s laughter, feeling a strange unease.”

Paragraph 25: “So when he met Luo Huanghun and Li Linger, he would deliberately be more intimate with her, but Luo Huanghun seemed completely indifferent, forcing him to keep a cold face and pretend not to care.”

Paragraph 26: “But this thorn pierced his heart: Luo Huanghun didn’t care about him.”

Paragraph 27: “He didn’t know when it started; perhaps on the wedding day, he went to Li Linger’s place, leaving her alone in an empty house?”

Paragraph 28: “Until now, Shen Jingsi finally understood that he regretted it.”

Paragraph 29: “Luo Huanghun didn’t wait for Shen Jingsi’s words, nor did she care; she was about to go into the room.”

Paragraph 30: “But her hand was caught by Shen Jingsi, who looked straight at her: ‘Stay tonight, okay? Do you want me to stay?'”

Paragraph 31: “Luo Huanghun looked at Shen Jingsi, seeing her own reflection in his eyes; his hand still tightly held hers, warm and real—almost the scene she most wanted to see in her previous life, her nose tingling, almost about to cry.”

Paragraph 32: “But just almost.”

Paragraph 33: “In the next second, Luo Huanghun decisively pulled her hand away, smiling: ‘Better not; my place is modest, I’m afraid you wouldn’t be comfortable sleeping here.'”

Paragraph 34: “Shen Jingsi staggered away.”

Now we need to translate each paragraph preserving

tags.

We’ll keep them concise but natural.
