Farmhouse life after traveling back to ancient times

Du Wenxiu curled her lips and said, "Can't I guess it myself?"

"How is that possible? I only found out the reason after reading Ling Hua's letter. Are you crazy enough to guess based on just two sentences?"

Yue Niang naturally didn't believe it.

Chi Linghua's letter was vague, and she read it once... twice... three times before she could guess what it meant.

And now Du Wenxiu guessed the reason of the matter from just a few words he said, which was too shocking.

"Don't act like that. Tell me how that person is doing now," Du Wenxiu urged.

Yue Niang took a deep breath and suppressed her surprise:

"Strangely enough, that man was killed by robbers on the road when he went to pick up the last batch of meat sauce after it was delivered to the palace."

"Tsk tsk, they said they would chop everything into pieces, not even a complete corpse would be left." Yue Niang sighed.

Du Wenxiu was thoughtful and did not agree. The emperor's poisoning reminded her of the King of England's plan.

So, now is the time to reveal the real purpose, right?

"So how is the King of England doing now?" she asked again in a low voice.

Yue Niang thought about what Chi Linghua had said in the letter and said, "It is said that his health is getting worse, so Imperial Concubine Yu is not in a hurry to treat the emperor."

If there weren't so many people at the table, Du Wenxiu would definitely have clapped his hands and said yes.

How can it be bad? It is indeed the wisdom of the ancients, one thing after another.

The King of England's health is getting worse and worse, so even if he becomes emperor, he won't be able to keep that position for long.

Concubine Yu already knew that the King of England's youngest son was killed by her, and the eldest son had been missing for a long time and was in poor health. So, wasn't the one with the greatest hope of inheriting the throne the Prince of Fu, whom she gave birth to?

In this way, if the emperor died, it would be fine. If he lived, Concubine Yu would have to worry about the birth of another prince who would block her son's ascension to the throne.

But she only thought so, and she didn't know if Erlang was also considerate?

So I thought of asking A Luo to go and take a look tomorrow.

While he was thinking, Haisheng and Hui Niang started quarreling over a lychee. The two children burst into tears. Several adults gathered together to comfort them. Du Wenxiu also hurried over.

It turned out that Qi Sanniang was carrying Haisheng to play with her sister. Haisheng was holding a lychee in his hand. Hui Niang reached out to grab it, but Qi Sanniang dodged it.

Hui Niang was unhappy and started crying.

When Haisheng saw his sister crying, he started crying too. The two of them kept crying, and no amount of comforting from either of them could help.

Du Wenxiu and Qiao'er found out what had happened and were at a loss whether to laugh or cry. They quickly took some fresh fruits to appease the two children and then took them away.

The child's attention was diverted and everything was fine.

Seeing Haisheng sobbing and his red nose from crying, Qi Sanniang couldn't help but said in annoyance:

"It's all my fault. If I had let them take it away, maybe I wouldn't have cried like this."

Qiao Er laughed loudly over there, "Aunt, please don't say that. If she cries like that, it might be harder to comfort her than now."

After a while of laughter and noise, the night was already deep and the family dinner was over.

After seeing Yue Niang and her family off, Du Wenxiu and everyone else went back to their rooms to wash up and rest.

The moon was full outside the window, and her heart was in turmoil.

Since Lu Fanghai got involved in such a big event, except for the sense of crisis in the beginning because of Wang Dongchang's incident, and later Erlang living at home which made her a little nervous, everything else was fine.

Now, I have been involved in such a huge event without realizing it. It feels like a dream.

"Knock knock knock", someone is knocking on the window again.

Du Wenxiu may have drunk a few glasses of wine today, so he was not as scared as before. He asked in a nasty voice, "Who is playing tricks outside?"

"Xiuniang, it's me." A familiar voice came from outside the window, but it sounded like thunder to Du Wenxiu's ears.

She quickly got up, went out and opened the door, and saw the tall figure she had been thinking about standing in front of her.

"Xiuniang, I'm back to celebrate Mid-Autumn Festival with you." Lu Fanghai's honest smile remained the same as always.

Du Wenxiu was stunned on the spot, but he was torn between his conscience and his desires - he really wanted to have a big fight with him, to let him know what a tigress is...

But I also feel that since he has come back this time, I don’t know when he will come back next time. If I waste my time being angry and don’t ask the questions I should ask, it will be even more unbearable if I just guess blindly afterwards.

Before she could make up her mind, Lu Fanghai stretched out his hand and picked her up by the waist. Du Wenxiu let out an "ah" and quickly covered her mouth.

Lu Fanghai couldn't help but find it funny. He turned around, closed the door with his foot, and carried her to the inner room.

"I haven't lived here since our family moved." He said happily while taking off his coat.

Du Wenxiu rolled his eyes at him and told him to go wash up.

Lu Fanghai knew her rules and didn't argue with her. He obediently went to the west room to wash himself.

When I came back, I kept mumbling: "Actually, I take a shower every day recently..."

Du Wenxiu had figured it out, and asked him directly, "When did you come back this time?"

"You just arrived today. You don't know that I rushed all the way here just to come back and spend the Mid-Autumn Festival with you. People say that when the moon is full in the sky, families reunite, but I don't want you to spend it alone..."

"I heard from Yue Niang that the emperor was poisoned. Do you know about this?"

After hearing this, Lu Fanghai chuckled but did not answer. He rushed over and threw Du Wenxiu, who was sitting on the bed, down on the bed, muttering:

"We haven't seen each other for several months, and even that matter...it's been over a year...You keep asking about other people's affairs, which are not as important as our own affairs..."

Du Wenxiu suddenly remembered something and felt a chill in her heart. She used all her strength to push his hand out of her clothes.

"Please explain it to me first, or you can leave right now. We will live the same life with or without you in this family."

Du Wenxiu said sternly.

Seeing her flushed face, drooping mouth, and a look as if she was both crying and laughing, Lu Fanghai was also shocked. He wondered what was wrong with her.

He hurriedly asked, "Xiuniang, if you have any questions, just ask me. I will never tell a lie."

Du Wenxiu glanced at him, took a deep breath and said, "You...what is your relationship with Lu Erniang?"

Lu Fanghai looked at her in astonishment. After a while, he laughed and said, "I thought it was something else. It turns out that my Xiuniang still cares about me as much as before."

Somehow, Du Wenxiu saw a bit of shyness and joy on his face, and she couldn't help but get goose bumps all over her body.

"She is under my care. I was the one who started to take Erlang out of the capital. To make it easier for him to travel, we pretended to be a couple. However, they did not do anything beyond the rules. Xiuniang can rest assured."

"Do you have any improper thoughts about her?" Du Wenxiu's voice was a little nervous. Lu Fanghai seemed to be thinking about it and thought about it carefully.

When Du Wenxiu was about to get angry, he smiled and said in a low voice: "The King of England said earlier that when the matter is settled, he would make her my equal wife, but I said that I have a Hedong lion at home, so I dare not do it."

"It's true." Du Wenxiu sat on the bed with a bored look on his face, thinking about what Lu Erniang had said here that day.
