Farmhouse life after traveling back to ancient times

Du Wenxiu smiled and told Qiuyue to run a trip and send a car for Lu Dawei. While it was still early, he happily returned to his hometown.

Fan Chengyi wanted to follow behind and go with them, but was stopped by Du Wenxiu.

"They are going back to comfort their parents, why are you following them?" she asked with a curl of her lips.

Fan Chengyi laughed awkwardly.

Before going to bed last night, thinking of Yue Niang's question, he suddenly felt that he seemed to have revealed some extraordinary information.

Therefore, he planned to say goodbye to Du Wenxiu and escape, but he was interrupted by Lu Dawei and failed to escape.

Du Wenxiu called her into the house, and Yue Niang called Du Wenchan out, and together with Qi Sanniang, they strolled in the yard holding the child.

The door was wide open and two people were sitting in the middle of the room.

"Well, sister-in-law, do you have something to ask me?" Since he couldn't get away anyway and was single, Fan Chengyi asked directly.

Du Wenxiu glanced at him, but didn't rush to speak. He thought about it in his mind.

Her silence made Fan Chengyi even more uneasy, not knowing what she was going to ask.

"Have you met Fang Hai in Beijing?" Du Wenxiu chose to go straight to the point.

Sure enough, Fan Chengyi's face changed slightly, but he did not answer immediately.

Du Wenxiu felt even more certain.

"I just want to ask you one question: did he mention me and the child? If you don't answer, I will pretend that he didn't mention me. From now on, this family will be named Du, and will have nothing to do with him named Lu."

She looked at Fan Chengyi steadily and spoke slowly, word by word, which made Fan Chengyi feel a chill down his spine. He knew she was serious and did not dare to be negligent.

Fan Chengyi turned his head to look outside the door and saw several women in the yard teasing Haisheng, so he leaned over to Du Wenxiu:

"To be honest, sister-in-law, I did see my elder brother this time."

Hearing this, Du Wenxiu felt a surge of grievances in her heart and couldn't help but have tears in her eyes. She couldn't hear what Fan Chengyi said next.

I saw Fan Chengyi's mouth moving all the time, and it took a long time before I heard what he said.

"...When he asked me how many days it would take for the baby to be born, and whether my sister-in-law was angry with him, I would say that she was angry and that's why I came to look for him, and asked him to come back with me to apologize to my sister-in-law."

"My eldest brother said that things have reached a critical stage now and he really can't leave, so I have to ask my sister-in-law to wait for a few more days."

"When things are sorted out and everything is settled, my brother will come and apologize to my sister-in-law. I thought that if he pretended to be dead and didn't come back, I was afraid that my sister-in-law would take the child and remarry..."

At this point, Fan Chengyi secretly glanced at Du Wenxiu's face and saw that she was still expressionless, with a hint of sadness, but she didn't say a word. Then he continued:

"My eldest brother said that my sister-in-law is not that kind of person, and it won't be long before he comes back to take care of her and let her live a good life."

"Sister-in-law, I have told you everything I can and cannot say. Look at me..."

Du Wenxiu pursed her lips, sniffed, calmed herself down, and looked at Fan Chengyi.

"I know everything you said. I just hate that he didn't tell me even a hint of such a big thing..."

"Sister-in-law, you are wrongly blaming my brother. Not to mention that we are so far away, even with the ever-changing situation in the court, there is no time to make any preparations."

Fan Chengyi said hurriedly: "I also met His Royal Highness the King of England in person this time. He is extremely handsome and impressive. However, due to the Emperor's suspicion, he is trapped in the King of England's mansion and cannot leave. It is really frustrating..."

"Is it really so difficult for His Majesty the King of England?" Du Wenxiu was a little surprised.

"If I hadn't seen it with my own eyes, I wouldn't believe it." Fan Chengyi's expression showed that he felt quite indignant for the King of England.

"Everyone in the world knows that the emperor conquered the world with the help of the King of England. Now that he has not appointed a crown prince, he must have other ideas."

"There were rumors in the army at the time, but they were suppressed."

"With Queen Mother Rong standing over there, the Emperor is using Queen Mother Rong to suppress the King of England, so the veterans in the army don't have much to say."

"But now that Empress Dowager Rong has passed away, without the pressure of filial piety, the Emperor still refuses to appoint a crown prince, and the rumors in the capital are even more rampant."

"Then, does the emperor really want to make Prince Fu the emperor? I'm afraid he won't be able to convince the people, right?" Du Wenxiu asked in confusion.

"Tsk." Fan Chengyi sneered: "I'm afraid everyone knows what the emperor is thinking, so the situation in the capital is becoming more and more tense."

"Sister-in-law, you don't know that when my eldest brother was still alive, the emperor had his eyes on you. He wanted to bring you to the capital and make my eldest brother a general. He wanted to sideline the King of England. Fortunately, you didn't make it."

Du Wenxiu thought of Wang Dongchang's proposal at that time and looked outside the door.

It was this child who saved his life.

If we bring her to Beijing, she might die on the way. Then we can just find an obedient wife for Lu Fanghai. Will he dare to disobey?

"My eldest brother is now thinking about how to help the King of England get the throne legitimately. Only when my sister-in-law is free, can he do something about it."

Although she didn't know what Lu Fanghai was busy with now, and was annoyed that he didn't reveal a single word, which made her worry, anxious and heartbroken, she did have the certainty that he was still alive.

He was still alive and well, so Du Wenxiu felt relieved.

Since I was able to let him go out to pursue what he wanted, I would not be petty and care about those things.

Earlier——

Haha, didn’t we know whether he was dead or alive at first?

It's just worrying in vain.

After hearing the confirmation, Du Wenxiu's expression brightened and he asked about what Fan Chengyi had mentioned yesterday.

"Sister-in-law, I've made up my mind. If it doesn't work out, I'll just move my family back home. It's better than my mother and daughter-in-law being bullied in the old Fan family house."

Du Wenxiu nodded slightly, looked up and took out a silver note from his sleeve.

"Now that you have made the decision, don't waste any more time. Take this money. Whether you move your whole family here or not, you will need money to support yourself."

"Tell Qiao'er that I need her help here."

Fan Chengyi was reluctant to take it, but Du Wenxiu forced it in and told him not to close his eyes and let it all fall into his mind. Fan Chengyi had no choice but to agree to take it.

After getting the banknote, Du Wenxiu rushed him back to pick up Qiao'er. Du Wenxiu also considerately asked Du Wenchan to hire a cart and asked him to go with the cart to load the things and bring them back.

It seems that she will take Qiao'er back whether Fan Zhao and his wife are willing or not.

Fan Chengyi was not the kind of person who would haggle over trivial matters. Since Du Wenxiu had made all the arrangements, he just went along with it and took the car home.

"You are really fast. It doesn't look like you are here to pick up sister Qiao'er. It looks more like you are chasing her away."

Yue Niang covered her mouth and laughed as she spoke. Du Wenxiu watched the carriage go away before turning around.

"As for me, firstly, I feel sorry for Qiao'er suffering in the Fan family, and secondly, I have other reasons for wanting to bring her back."

Yue Niang kept asking what it meant, but Du Wenxiu just looked at Du Wenchan and smiled without saying anything.

A Luo seemed to have thought of something, and smiled secretly with his lips pursed.
