Farmhouse life after traveling back to ancient times

Du Wenxiu sat on the chair on the other side of the table with a sullen face, not allowing Lu Fanghai to come near.

Lu Fanghai smiled bitterly and said pitifully, "Xiuniang, I only have one hour to talk to you. Let's talk it out, okay?"

"Actually, I don't really want to hear you say that." Du Wenxiu said calmly.

Lu Fanghai paused, his expression becoming even more bitter.

"I know you resent me and blame me in your heart, but if I interact with my family frequently, it will inevitably bring trouble to you."

"It took me a lot of effort to come up with this idea, but I'm sorry to have wronged you."

Du Wenxiu smiled coldly and did not answer.

What is there to say? What this means is that apart from suffering some grievances on your part, everything else can be solved smoothly.

There are many ladies who understand the big picture and she doesn't want to be one of them.

At this moment, she only felt a dull pain in her chest from anger, and completely forgot about how worried she was about Lu Fanghai before.

"The King of England is in a bad situation, but I am the one the Emperor wants to get rid of first. When I heard that the Emperor secretly sent someone to take you to the capital, I had no choice but to agree to take the risk."

"First, we need to get rid of Queen Mother Rong so that the Emperor will lose the excuse to deal with the King of England. Another consideration is that I can use this incident to escape and keep my family safe."

Du Wenxiu lowered her eyes and looked at the roughly made hemp shoes on his feet. Then she looked up and noticed that he was wearing a short brown suit that only poor people wore.

"After I left the capital, I went around looking for martial arts masters to recruit and use for His Majesty the King of England."

"It wasn't going well at first. His Royal Highness was in a dangerous situation and even had a newborn baby killed."

"Later, the emperor became even crazier and wanted to take the prince of England to the palace to be taken care of. The king of England dared not disobey, but he did not dare to let the child go alone."

"As a last resort, they asked me to take the child away and falsely claimed that he had died of illness."

When Du Wenxiu just heard what he said, his heart was like a raging wave and his face turned pale.

"But now that I seem to have revealed my whereabouts, it is really inconvenient to take him with me, and I dare not leave him alone..."

"So you want me to take over this hot potato." Du Wenxiu's calm voice sounded, and Lu Fanghai lowered his head.

"I really have no idea what to do. Although I have won over some people, I am powerless to do anything."

Du Wenxiu felt so cold in his heart.

I thought he wanted to give me an explanation and was just throwing a tantrum, but who knew he came back just to ask for my help.

If she doesn't need me, can I not tell her about these things?

She was left alone to grieve every night.

"Look at me, don't I look like a fool?" Du Wenxiu said faintly.

Lu Fanghai was shocked and said quickly: "No, Xiuniang, that's not what I meant."

"My original intention was to come and see you and explain things to you so that you wouldn't worry about whether I was dead or alive. I showed up so that you could rest assured."

"But the child caught a cold right after arriving in Sanqing County, and now his body is burning hot. I want to take him with me, but I'm afraid something might happen on the way. I can only tell you..."

"I just want to ask you one question, why did you hide it from me for so long?" Du Wenxiu looked at him with burning eyes.

Lu Fanghai's eyes also turned red, and he said, "At first, I was afraid that the emperor would take you to the capital. If the empress dowager or the queen summoned you to the palace at will, it would be difficult to refuse. If you go, you will die."

"I pretended to be at odds with you and kept singing girls at home for fun every day. Don't worry, Xiuniang, I didn't touch them at all, just believe me."

Du Wenxiu glared at him and said nothing.

He then continued, "Before assassinating Queen Mother Rong, King Ying said that since you should pretend to be a good person, it would be best if you were also indifferent to the news of my death, so that this matter can be easily passed off."

"How would I know..." Lu Fanghai looked at Du Wenxiu with a little grievance and felt a little sad.

"How could I have known that I didn't take your death seriously? I lived a happier life, my business became more prosperous, and my family grew larger and larger, right?"

Lu Fanghai lowered his head. He felt aggrieved, but it was difficult for him to say it out loud since he was the one who lied first.

"I'm happy that Xiuniang is doing well." He stammered, stood up, walked towards Du Wenxiu, and reached out to pull her arm.

Du Wenxiu thought about when he heard the news of Lu Fanghai's death. Except for being sad for two or three months, he was more lively than when he was at home.

"Did you know that Haisheng was born right after I received the news of your death? It almost cost me half my life."

Lu Fanghai stretched out his long arms, put them around her, and rested his chin on her shoulder.

"I don't know, but I can imagine. I originally rejected the King of England's proposal, but he said that if you show your closeness to me, the Emperor might take your anger out on you and your son."

"It would be best if it could be like this. Except for me being sad, everyone would be fine."

Du Wenxiu's heart moved slightly, and he softened a little.

The situation that the couple is in is nothing but the design of the King of England.

"You dare to follow the King of England's schemes?" she said angrily.

Lu Fanghai shook his head and said in a muffled voice, "It's not that I want to follow him, but I've got on this pirate ship and have no choice but to move on."

"I have made up my mind. When the world is at peace, I will go home to accompany you and Haisheng. I will no longer hang around in the court, which only drives us apart."

I have to admit that his words touched Du Wenxiu's heart.

"Suddenly I saw the willow trees on the street, and I regretted having asked my husband to seek a title."

"If you really have this intention, I'm afraid the King of England will not let you go." She sighed softly.

Lu Fanghai pursed his lips and said in a deep voice: "So now there is an opportunity, I must seize it."

Du Wenxiu looked at him, only to see a hint of fierceness flash across his face, then disappear in an instant.

"Xiuniang, I plan to report the fake death of the Prince of England." He spoke slowly, but to Du Wenxiu's ears it sounded like a bolt of thunder.

"You want to kill him?" she asked in surprise.

Lu Fanghai quickly covered her mouth with his hand and made a gesture to keep her quiet.

Then, he lowered his voice and said, "No, the Emperor and the King of England are fighting more and more fiercely now. One is pressing forward step by step, and the other is showing weakness with every move."

"If the father and son want to fight to see who is the winner, it will probably take some time, and I don't know how many people will die in the meantime."

"I have thought of a foolproof way to get out of this situation, but I cannot allow the British prince to get into trouble at this moment."

Du Wenxiu knew what he meant, but she didn't know whether this man who had experienced the world of fame and fortune was still a husband she could completely trust.

The alienation and hesitation in Du Wenxiu's eyes hurt Lu Fanghai, but he knew that this was what he deserved.

He closed his eyes and calmed down.

"If Xiuniang doesn't want to help, that's fine. Just take care of our son and wait for me to come home."

He buried his head in Du Wenxiu's neck, as if he was enjoying this momentary tenderness.

After a long time, he loosened his arms around Du Wenxiu and looked back at Xiao Haisheng who was fast asleep on the bed.

His eyes were filled with reluctance: "Xiuniang, I'm leaving now, wait for me to come back."

He turned around, lifted the curtain and left the inner room. Du Wenxiu's low voice came from behind him: "Come back now."
