Farmhouse life after traveling back to ancient times

"Okay, you give me the main room and I'll move in."

Yue Niang rolled up her sleeves and yelled, Du Wenxiu smiled and replied, "Okay, I'll give it to you, you come."

The smile on Chi Linghua's face, who was standing aside, froze and was noticed by Du Wenchan.

"Oh, Sister Yue Niang, you have a husband now, be careful not to say the wrong thing and hurt his feelings."

As soon as these words were spoken, Chi Linghua and Yue Niang's faces turned red immediately. How come Du Wenxiu couldn't guess what they meant?

Du Wenxiu introduced Qi Sanniang to Yue Niang. Yue Niang thought she was a distant relative because she looked a bit like Du Wenxiu. Unexpectedly, she was actually her biological mother, so she stepped forward to greet her.

Qi Sanniang exchanged a few pleasantries with Yue Niang, then urged them to go inside and sit down, while she took the little maid to tidy up the things in the yard.

After entering the room and sitting down, Yue Niang looked at Du Wenxiu who had a calm expression on her face and tears welled up in her eyes.

"Hey, what's wrong with you? You looked at me with red eyes as soon as you came. But the young master bullied you, so I decided to take charge of your case and teach him a lesson. I was afraid you wouldn't be willing to do it."

Du Wenxiu smiled and teased Yue Niang.

Yue Niang reached out and held her hand, and said in a low voice:

"When I heard about Brother Fang Hai's situation, I wanted to come back to find you, but I had something important to do and couldn't go. I don't know how you managed to get through it..."

"How did you get through this..." Du Wenxiu said softly with a smile on her face.

"Haisheng had just been born at that time, and I was so focused on taking care of the little guy that I didn't have time to work hard."

"You don't have to worry about me, I'm fine."

Yue Niang looked at her with pity and was speechless for a long time.

"If you saw me and cried and made a fuss, maybe I would believe that you were fine."

After a long while, she said, "How can I believe that you are okay if you are like this?"

Du Wenxiu glanced at Chi Linghua who was sitting far away at the door, and leaned towards Yue Niang:

"You said, is Fang Hai not dead?"

Yue Niang was startled and grabbed her hand tightly. She put her other hand against her forehead, then took her hand back to test the temperature of her own forehead.

He looked at her suspiciously: "When did you have such an idea? You must be possessed."

Du Wenxiu gently pushed her hand away, raised her eyes slightly, and looked at her: "Yulan came here some time ago."

"Wan Yulan? When did she come from the capital?" Yue Niang frowned slightly and lowered her head in thought.

"Did she say that? Then maybe... is it really possible?"

Yue Niang frowned slightly and wanted to shake her head, but stopped herself and her brows furrowed even tighter.

She turned to look at Chi Linghua, hesitated for a moment, looked at Du Wenxiu, and finally let go of her hand, stood up and walked over.

Du Wenxiu looked at her quietly, and felt his chest thumping, his heart beating faster and faster.

Yue Niang walked to Chi Linghua, leaned sideways and whispered something to him.

Chi Linghua, who was originally smiling, suddenly changed his expression and looked at Du Wenxiu involuntarily with a bit of suspicion and surprise on his face.

He lowered his head and pondered for a while, then glanced at Yue Niang, seeming to be very conflicted. After a long time, he made up his mind, stood up and walked towards Du Wenxiu.

Du Wenxiu felt that his heart had jumped into his throat, making him unable to speak. He looked at Chi Linghua with expectation.

"Madam Du, where did you hear this guess?" Chi Linghua asked softly.

Du Wenxiu noticed that he was talking about "guessing", and a little hope rose in his heart.

"I guessed it myself. Fang Hai...family is very important to him." Du Wenxiu blushed, but still finished speaking word by word.

She talked about her experience of returning to her parents' home when she first came to the county town.

"Originally, I had a mediocre relationship with my family and didn't want to go back. But Fang Hai took the initiative to contact the Du family and even prepared generous gifts. I know that he did this for me and to give me face."

"So I thought that while I was still pregnant, he would not abandon us so easily and choose a path of no return."

Du Wenxiu's eyes sparkled, and she felt more and more that Lu Fanghai was not dead yet. She looked at Chi Linghua with hope.

She believed that if only a few people knew the inside story, Chi Linghua must be one of them.

Chi Linghua looked back at Yue Niang. Yue Niang understood and went to the door on her own initiative. She checked that there was no one outside the window, then came in, nodded at them, and closed the door again.

"Madam Du, this matter should not be heard by any third party." Chi Linghua's low and deep voice sounded.

Du Wenxiu's mouth corners curved upwards, and she knew it.

"Your Highness is in a very bad situation right now. The Emperor is deeply in love with the Imperial Concubine, and the Queen Mother Rong is watching closely..."

"It is said that even a tiger will not eat its own cubs, but how can this royal father and son be any different from ordinary people? His Royal Highness the King of England has been unable to sleep all day and night."

"If I don't seek change, I'm afraid I'll just become a stepping stone for the little prince..."

Du Wenxiu and Yue Niang listened quietly. The mottled light and shadow in the house cast a fence-like image on the ground, which seemed to confirm what Chi Linghua said.

"His Royal Highness the King of England has turned gray in a short time. He felt very uncomfortable when he heard the name of Queen Mother Rong. It was under such circumstances that Brother Lu proposed that idea."

"At that time, none of us agreed, and it dragged on for some time until that day..."

"According to His Royal Highness, Brother Lu was summoned to the Queen Mother's palace and did not return for a long time. In the middle of the night, news came that the Queen Mother's bedroom had caught fire and all the people in the palace had died in the fire."

"Strangely, the bodies of Brother Lu and other guards were not found, so His Royal Highness the King of England also guessed that Brother Lu was not dead, but for some reason, it was inconvenient for him to meet us."

"But this is just a guess, it can't be accurate."

Du Wenxiu listened to him quietly without saying a word.

If what he said was true, then it was unknown whether Lu Fanghai was dead or alive, but she was more inclined to believe that he was not dead.

Although he did not show great martial arts skills when he was with me, he must be no mediocre person since he was so highly regarded by His Majesty the King of England.

Moreover, it was he who proposed the assassination of Queen Dowager Rong, so even if he was summoned in a hurry, he should have known what was going on.

I just don’t know where he is now, what he is doing, and why he doesn’t come to see me?

After a long time, Du Wenxiu let out a long sigh, stood up and bowed deeply to Chi Linghua.

"Thank you, Young Master, for telling me such a confidential matter. I just hope he is safe and sound, and that he doesn't lose any limbs. That would be a blessing."

Chi Linghua remained silent, not knowing how to respond to her.

Now no one knows Lu Fanghai's whereabouts, so naturally no one knows his situation.

"Madam Du, please rest assured. His Royal Highness the King of England will not sit idly by and wait for death. Brother Lu will definitely see the sun and the moon again one day. Then you and your husband will be reunited and enjoy life."

"Yeah." Du Wenxiu nodded slightly. For now, he could only wait patiently.

Yue Niang took out a small wooden box inlaid with gems and placed it on the table and pushed it to Du Wenxiu.

"This is a longevity lock that I found at the largest Xinglong Silver Shop in Beijing to make for your child. Tie it around his arm first, and when he's older, you can put on a collar."
