I became a farmer's wife, and the cruel and powerful officials forced me to give birth to a chi

The starlight cast a layer of silvery-white light on her face, making her face look even brighter and more translucent.

He pulled the quilt over her, covered her with it, and then looked at her quietly.

He thought back to his previous life. Ever since the brothers who had been through thick and thin with him died, he had been living in a world of intrigue and deception, where every day he was either killing people or waiting to be assassinated.

But now, he can have such a peaceful time with a capable wife by his side.

At this moment, he suddenly hoped that life would continue like this.

He no longer wanted to be a minister or have any power. He just wanted to grow old quietly with the woman beside him.

However, the calm did not last long.

Not long after, Jing Qishan heard noise coming from outside the house again.

He glanced down at the woman next to him, then quietly stood up.

……

The servant of Master Chen came sneakily again.

They always believed that it was Liu Dayong who helped Li Yujiao that day. When they heard that Liu Dayong had gone to escort the convoy, they thought the opportunity had come.

They weren't going to burn the sign tonight, they were going to burn the backyard.

The servant sneaked to the backyard wall and planned to throw a torch in!

However, before he could act, another arrow was shot at him.

This time it didn't hit the hand, but the chest.

Although the force was not great, it was enough to knock him away!

The servant's torch fell in the corner of the next door, where there was a pile of dry things. As soon as the torch fell, it immediately ignited a raging flame.

The night watchman happened to pass by and when he saw what was happening, he immediately shouted, "The fire is coming! The fire is coming!"

Seeing this, the servant immediately ran away, covering his chest.

Li Yujiao was also awakened and went downstairs to check immediately after waking up.

The family next door also came out and the fire was put out in an instant.

Everyone asked the night watchman: "Who set the fire?"

The night watchman said, "Someone set the torch on purpose. He ran away when I arrived. He was going to throw the torch into the food store, but he fell down somehow and the torch fell here."

Li Yujiao couldn't help but observe on the ground, and saw the same wooden arrow from the night before.

Someone is secretly helping!

Who is this guy?

……

Li Yujiao returned to the attic and saw Jing Qishan still sitting on the bamboo chair.

A thought suddenly popped into her mind: Could it be him who shot the arrow?

She couldn't help but run to him and took his hand to check it.

"What's wrong?" Jing Qishan asked.

"Weren't you on night watch? Did you know someone was going to set fire?"

Jing Qishan said: "I know, but when I wanted to call you, you had already run downstairs!"

"You weren't the one who shot the arrow?"

"Shoot arrows? What arrows?" Jing Qishan asked.

When Li Yujiao saw that he denied it, she also felt that she was confused.

He couldn't even stand up and his strength hadn't recovered yet, so how could he shoot an arrow?

……

The next morning.

Wang Erhua, Jing Qizhi and others heard that there was a fire in the corner of the wall next door last night and an arrow was left at the scene, so they all started to speculate.

Jing Qizhi believed that it was the headmaster Liu who sent people to protect him secretly, because only the people in the martial arts school of the headmaster Liu had such archery skills in the town.

But Wang Erhua thinks not.

Wang Erhua said: "This man is definitely an admirer of Sister Jiao. In the words of the storyteller, he is the flower protector!"

Li Yujiao couldn't help but scold Wang Erhua: "Erhua, you are talking nonsense again!"

Wang Erhua looked up at Jing Qishan's room. Seeing that Jing Qishan was not there, she said angrily, "Am I wrong? Someone is indeed secretly protecting you. Think about it yourself. You are a woman, and you take care of the house and the outside world, and you have to take care of your husband who can't take care of himself. I feel sorry for you, so can't someone be allowed to secretly feel sorry for you?"

Jing Qizhi said: "It's not like Third Cousin can't get better. When he gets better, he will take care of Sister Jiao."

Wang Erhua said: "Looking at his lazy look, I don't think so."

Li Yujiao knew that Jing Qishan was sensitive and that he might not be able to hear what Wang Erhua said. She could not help but loudly scold Wang Erhua: "Erhua, stop talking!"

If you keep talking, I won't be able to protect you anymore!

Wang Erhua said angrily: "If you don't want to tell me, then don't tell me. I'm going to buy some peanuts!"

……

Making hot and sour noodles requires a lot of peanuts every day. Fry the peanuts until they are fragrant and crispy, then add them to the noodles, which tastes delicious.

Every few days Li Yujiao would ask Wang Erhua to go out and buy some peanuts.

However, an hour later, Wang Erhua came back with an empty basket.

"Jiao Jie, all the peanuts in town have been bought up. You can't buy any at all!"

"Sold out?" Li Yujiao was surprised.

According to her, there are many places selling peanuts in the town, including rice shops, grain shops, and some farmers also bring them from the village to sell.

"Really? I looked all over town and couldn't find any!" Wang Erhua said, "The owner of the rice shop said that all the peanuts in their store were bought by Yuelai Restaurant. The same goes for the peanuts in other shops!"

"How could this be possible!" Li Yujiao said angrily, "Maybe they were the ones who set the fire!"

"What should we do? Our peanuts can only last three days at most."

Li Yujiao said: "Don't worry, I'll find time to go back to the village tomorrow to find Auntie Pang and ask her to help us buy some."

Wang Erhua said dejectedly: "Most of the peanuts grown in the village are taken to the town or the market to be sold. Only a little is left for our own consumption, and we don't know if it is enough."

Li Yujiao said, "We'll take as much as we can."

The time has come and Li Yujiao’s food shop is about to open.

This busy day ends with another day.

……

Another day passed in a blink of an eye.

The king Erhua got up first, and while washing up, he vaguely saw a sack placed in the corner of the door.

She looked over and flipped through it in confusion.

It turned out to be a sack full of peanuts, bulging and weighing at least over a hundred pounds!

She was stunned for a moment, then she shouted to the attic: "Sister Jiao, there is a bag of peanuts here!"

Li Yujiao also woke up and ran downstairs quickly.

Seeing the bag of peanuts, she was also surprised: "Who put this here?"

"I don't know. I saw it when I got up."

Jing Qizhi, Chun Ge and the others also stood up, each of them looking confused.

Chun Ge opened the sack and saw a piece of paper inside, on which was written: For Li Yujiao.

"Sister-in-law, these peanuts were given to you by someone."

Wang Erhua couldn't help but shout: "It's the flower protector, it must be the flower protector!"

Li Yujiao said calmly: "Don't talk nonsense!"

"Jiao Jie, three times is the limit. This person has repeatedly helped you in secret. If you say he is not a flower protector, who would believe it?"

Wang Erhua said to Jing Qizhi again: "Don't you think so?"

Jing Qizhi scratched his head, then nodded: "I think...right!"
