She got pregnant after the swap marriage, and the scumbag's family regretted it so much they cr

Time passed quickly, and it was time for Uncle Qin to deliver meat to Lu Huan again.

Lu Ruyi was packed up and sent back by Lu Chengde yesterday, along with ten chickens and ten ducks, two live fish of various kinds, and two baskets of fruit, which was barely enough for the food tasting.

But with Lu Huan as a precedent, the little bit of stuff that Li sent was not enough.

The head maid who came to escort Lu Ruyi back smiled ingratiatingly: "My dear in-law, you can't blame our lady for this. You don't live in Yanjing City, so you wouldn't know about the big events that have happened there!"

Eight households in a row were completely ransacked by thieves. Among them was a merchant we regularly bought goods from.

With the Lunar New Year just around the corner, chickens and ducks are hard to find, so my wife went to great lengths to buy these!

Zhou's expression was very cold, showing no sign of being comforted: "It's really a pity for your young lady to marry into our poor, remote area, where we don't have the same access to information as you city people."

The old woman smiled sheepishly, realizing what she had said wrong.

Having learned from the previous experience, no one spied on Lu Huan this time when she came out early in the morning. For some reason, Cuizhu, who had spied on her last time, didn't come back with Lu Ruyi this time; instead, another maidservant came, who seemed even more timid than Yuzhu.

In the distance, a carriage slowly approached, accompanied by a rider and a person.

Lu Huan smiled; it must be Uncle Qin and the others who have arrived!

As she got closer, she could see clearly that the person riding the horse was Qin Hui.

Lu Huan couldn't help but take two steps forward and say, "Uncle Qin, please load these baskets of fruit onto the car first, and I'll go inside and get you some water!"

"Miss, there's no need for such trouble..."

Before Qin Hui could finish speaking, Lu Huan had already turned and entered the courtyard. When she came out again, she was carrying a kettle of hot water and several bowls.

"Uncle Qin, how old are you? How can you still be so willful! The weather is getting colder every day, why are you still riding out on horseback!"

Qin Hui smiled and accepted the steaming bowl of water, finding the young lady's words very comforting.

The two people who got off the carriage were somewhat surprised by how familiar the two were with each other, and they immediately adjusted their attitude, not daring to be negligent in the slightest.

Lu Huan poured them half a bowl of water and said with a smile, "I'm sorry for the inconvenience. Have some water first, and we'll talk in detail in the carriage later."

Qin Hui finished drinking the water with a smile. He wasn't sure if it was just his imagination, but he felt a warm current flowing through his body, and his feet, which had been frozen, slowly warmed up.

Before he could speak, two thuds came from behind him. Turning around, he saw the two people he had brought with him.

"Miss, what's going on?"

Lu Huan smiled meaningfully: "Uncle Qin, weren't you unsure about keeping that person? I found something good, but I couldn't let them all stay awake, so I gave them some sleeping pills to make sure they wouldn't hear anything."

She then looked at the coachman: "Uncle Qin, is there anything wrong with this coachman?"

"No, I rescued Lao Xu by chance when I was out doing business. He's a complete stranger to me, and I believe he's not a spy sent by anyone."

"Then let's try it with him."

Old Xu felt a chill, but out of trust in Qin Hui, he gritted his teeth and helped the two men lift the person on the ground onto the carriage.

How do I try it?

Lu Huan took out a stack of talismans from her sleeve; they were the mantra talismans that Fairy Ling Wei had drawn for her a couple of days ago.

Such talismans are useless in the cultivation world, but in Lu Huan's world, they are more effective than the cruel officials of the government.

She placed the talisman on Old Xu's palm, and before Old Xu could react, the talisman disappeared.

Old Xu examined his hands repeatedly, his voice tense: "Boss, I didn't do anything! It...it's just gone!"

Lu Huan cut to the chase: "When was the last time you wet the bed?"

Old Xu felt that his mouth was no longer under his control: "On the night of the seventh day of the lunar new year, I drank a lot of wine, and when I woke up the next morning, I found that the mattress was wet."

A satisfied smile appeared on Lu Huan's face: "The effect is not bad."

Qin Hui's eyes widened; he wanted to test the talisman on Lu Chengde right now. Suppressing his excitement, he asked, "Whom do you work for?"

Old Xu's mouth moved faster than his brain: "Of course I'm doing this for you! You're my savior, if I'm disloyal, I'll be struck by lightning!"

After he finished speaking, his mind caught up with his mouth, and he looked like he was about to cry: "Master, I am truly loyal to you!"

Is there anything you're hiding from me?

"The other day, your beloved horse got a belly. Actually, it was because the young master fed it the wrong kind of feed. I was worried that you would punish the young master, so I said that the horse had drunk cold water at night."

And the young master would occasionally sneak out to play; I was always the one who covered for him.

"Qin Kai!" Qin Hui gritted his teeth.

If Lu Huan didn't have important matters to attend to and couldn't leave, he would have liked to go back and give his youngest son a good beating right now.

"any left?"

"The young master doesn't like going to school. He feels that the teachers and classmates look down on him, and he often tries to please his classmates with snacks from home."

"Alright, that's enough. Cover your mouths." Seeing that Uncle Qin's mood was off, Lu Huan quickly stopped Old Xu, then asked Uncle Qin, "Or should we ask these two people another day?"

Qin Hui took a deep breath, suppressing the bitterness churning in his heart. He shook his head: "No need. This matter can't be resolved in a short time. Let's interrogate these two first."

The two climbed into the carriage, leaving Old Xu alone outside to guard the place.

Old Xu secretly breathed a sigh of relief. If he had kept asking, he was afraid that some of the embarrassing things he had done in the past would have been exposed!

Looking at the two people lying in the carriage, Lu Huan asked, "Uncle Qin, which one do you trust more?"

Qin Hui pointed to one of them: "His name is Lü Chenxin. He is someone I bought in Runing Prefecture. His whole family of eight lives in my residence."

Lu Huan nodded, took out a needle, and inserted it into his philtrum.

Lu Chenxin quickly woke up, swaying as she looked around. She was clearly not fully conscious and her speech was somewhat slurred.

"Master, what's wrong with me?"

Lu Huan took out another mantra talisman and stuck it directly on his forehead.

Because she was awakened shortly after taking the sleeping pills, Lü Chenxin's control over her body was not as precise as when she was awake.

Lu Huan didn't exert any force; his head couldn't withstand the force at all, and he fell backward, hitting the floor of the carriage with a dull thud.

Qin Hui asked with some concern, "Miss, won't this thing make someone stupid?"

Lu Huan said with a smile, "I just wanted to test their loyalty. If I mess them up, how can I use them?"
