Farmhouse life after traveling back to ancient times

"But if I go out with Erlang, we can hide it from others. Didn't we go with the farm manager?"

"It's less noticeable this way. If you send me back alone, if someone is watching here, they will inevitably become suspicious."

Lu Erniang analyzed the situation carefully with Du Wenxiu.

Du Wenxiu knew that what she said made sense, but——

"Didn't everyone tell everyone that Fang Hai was...dead? Why are you still keeping an eye on my family?"

She was a little unhappy and felt that these people who were wrestling politically were being too cautious.

"No one dares to be careless when it comes to the top position. Besides, your family is already supplying pickles to the royal family, right? For safety reasons, we have to have someone keep an eye on it."

"You guys know about this too?" Du Wenxiu widened his eyes, and suddenly realized that since it was the Chi family's plan, it was normal to inform Lu Fanghai.

Lu Erniang smiled brightly and said, "Captain Lu has been keeping an eye on the house. Otherwise, how could he let someone go out for so long? He only left a few women at home."

Hearing her say this, Du Wenxiu said gloomily, "Does he know that we don't even dare to hire a guard because we don't have a man at home?"

"He has earned a huge fortune, but he lives in fear every day and can't sleep, and he still..." He choked up before he finished speaking.

Lu Erniang was silent for a moment, then said, "It is because of circumstances that it has come to this. If the King of England or Erlang can ascend to the throne in the future, Madam Lu will also be able to get out of this and have a good life."

"A good day? What good day?"

Du Wenxiu sneered and said disdainfully: "Is it a good life for Lu Fanghai to have three wives and four concubines? Or is it a good life to have a small courtyard and a big sky above your head?"

"These are what Lu Fanghai wants, not what I want."

"Madam Lu..." Lu Erniang frowned and said, "It is normal for a man to have three wives and four concubines after he has achieved success. You are also a person who has run such a big business. Don't you see through this?"

Du Wenxiu couldn't help but look cold. Lu Erniang spoke to her like this, but was it because Lu Fanghai had always thought so?

"I don't care what other men do, and I don't care if I can do such a big business or not. If Lu Fanghai dares to keep a few concubines, let him go with his concubines. I won't serve him."

Lu Erniang took a deep breath and felt that Du Wenxiu in front of her was somewhat unreasonable.

"For a talent like Lu Fuwei, even if he doesn't want to, the emperor will give him some women. How can we let him be controlled by women at home? Madam Lu, please think twice..."

"Mrs. Lu wants to go to the farm with Erlang. I will arrange it right away. I am afraid that Brother An will leave before dawn tomorrow morning. It is better to rest early."

Du Wenxiu found Lu Erniang's words unpleasant to the ear, so he interrupted her without any courtesy.

I went out and walked around the yard quickly several times before I calmed down.

"Sister, why are you still awake?" Du Wenchan opened the door and called her.

Du Wenxiu was stunned for a moment before he said, "I couldn't sleep, so I came out for a walk. Why are you still awake?"

"I have something on my mind and can't sleep. Sister, why don't you come over and talk to me?" Du Wenchan said softly.

The moon was already high in the sky, and except for the two of them, all the lights in other rooms were off.

Du Wenxiu thought about it and decided not to go back and face Lu Erniang, so he followed Du Wenchan and went to her room.

The two sisters lay on the bed together. Du Wenchan fluttered her big eyes and looked at Du Wenxiu and said:

"Sister, both your workshop and restaurant are doing well now. Is there anything that you can't let go of?"

Du Wenxiu lowered her eyes and shook her head slowly: "People always have all kinds of troubles, some are imposed by others, and some are self-inflicted."

"Sister also creates trouble for herself?" Du Wenchan covered her mouth and chuckled.

"How could it not be? Buddha said that everything that exists is false. But I have been bewitched by this falsehood and am deeply trapped in it. I am afraid that I can only wake up when my heart dies." Du Wenxiu said dimly.

"Girls in this world are all infatuated." Du Wenchan sighed.

Du Wenxiu understood what Ya meant and said with a smile, "Could it be that my Chan'er was thinking of me? Are you worried about Lu Dawei?"

Du Wenchan half-closed her eyes, looking dull.

"What? Did I guess it right?" Du Wenxiu couldn't help but find it funny. Du Wenchan had received two gold hairpins sent by Lu Daweito Post Station two days ago.

Along with it was a letter written by someone else, saying that his family was poor and that he must make some merits outside this time in exchange for some rewards so that he could come back and get married.

Du Wenchan and she would wear these two gold hairpins for fun. If she didn't like the pattern, she could melt them down and make new ones.

When Du Wenchan's joy wore off, she began to feel unhappy again.

"Sister, these things of his were all earned through fighting on the battlefield. Didn't you notice the hideous scar behind his ear..."

She gradually lost her voice, holding the golden hairpin in her hand, and looked a little depressed.

Du Wenxiu was also silent.

"Sister, tell me, should I ask a post horse to bring him some pickles from home? Or should I sew a pair of socks for him and send them over?"

"No!" Du Wenxiu blurted out, turned his head to look at Du Wenchan, opened his mouth, but remained speechless.

Du Wenchan looked at her in confusion, not understanding why she reacted so strongly.

Du Wenxiu hesitated and said, "You treat him well now, but what if he thinks your heart is all on him and doesn't cherish you anymore and wants to take a concubine?"

"So this is what my sister is worried about." Du Wenchan smiled suddenly, like a flower blooming in spring.

"Don't worry, sister. I was thinking that he was sincere in wanting to marry me after such a long time."

"If he changes his mind someday, I will return all the betrothal gifts to him. Anyway, I originally planned to stay at home and rely on my sister for the rest of my life."

Du Wenchan reached out and hugged Du Wenxiu's arm, and said in a tender voice: "With my sister standing behind me, I'm not afraid of anything."

Du Wenxiu put his other hand on her back and patted it gently.

Yes, she is the support of her younger sister, the support of A Luo and Qi Sanniang, and the support of Haisheng...

It is also the support of many workers in workshops and restaurants...

The burden on my shoulders is very heavy.

Where is the time to be sad and worry about these romantic relationships?

If Lu Fanghai wanted to have three wives and four concubines, he should just regard it as the end of his marriage to her, and they should part ways amicably.

I have a family and a son, so I don't need a man like him.

Still a man who doesn't go home.

After figuring it out, Du Wenxiu reached out and hugged Du Wenchan, saying with a smile: "Good sister, you don't have to be afraid of anything as long as I am here."

I will protect you well.

She thought to herself.

That night, she rested in Du Wenchan's room. The next morning, before dawn, An Feng drove over to pick her up.

Erlang, A'luo and Cheng Xiaomei had packed everything last night, only Lu Erniang had to go last minute, which was a bit troublesome.
