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

After arranging for the family who had bought the goods to go ahead and drive the mule cart, Lu Huan walked over to Gao Yan and poked him in the chest.

"What are you thinking about?"

Gao Yan felt a tickle in his heart. He pinched Lu Huan's mischievous fingers and said, "Stop fooling around!"

Lu Huan's gaze deepened as he recalled the five families he had met before, but he did not find any women who were particularly beautiful.

"Tell me the truth, or else... or you'll have to sleep in the woodshed tonight!"

Gao Yan panicked immediately, pursed his lips and hesitated for a while before answering, "You mentioned before that no one could find your hidden things. I was planning to dig out my secret stash of money after returning to the village and give it to you to keep."

But you spent several thousand taels of silver today buying a house and servants. Compared to that, my few dozen taels of silver are nothing.

So that's how it is. Lu Huan smiled and narrowed his eyes: "How could it be nothing? A few dozen taels of silver is enough to build another courtyard in the village and marry a few more wives."

"I don't need multiple wives, you're enough for me!"

Lu Huan looked up, carefully discerning the expression on Gao Yan's face: "Are you serious?"

Gao Yan pried Lu Huan's hands open and placed them on his chest: "The sun and moon bear witness!"

"Even if you become very rich and powerful in the future, will you only have me?"

Lu Huan lowered her head, not daring to look at the expression on his face, afraid of seeing even the slightest flicker of emotion.

Gao Yan, unaware of Lu Huan's fear, assumed she was just shy and whispered a promise: "In this life, I only want you."

Lu Huan chuckled, trying to hide her inner turmoil: "We've only been married for one day, it's too early to say such things! Let's go, we still need to go to the clothing store and the fabric shop!"

"We have a long way to go," Gao Yan said, following behind Lu Huan with a beaming smile.

Unbeknownst to them, the smile on Lu Huan's face had vanished completely.

They walked out of the alley and found the family of four waiting by the mule cart. The couple were huddled together, their feet constantly moving.

It's only when it's in the sunlight that it's not so cold.

"Let's go to the clothing store first and buy you some clothes."

Lu Huan not only provided each of them with two sets of clothing from head to toe, but also bought one set of cotton-padded clothes for each of them, distinguishing between thick and thin ones.

She was about to go up to the private room on the second floor to pick out a few outfits for herself and Gao Yan when a large group of people came in from outside.

Chen Xin'er led her wet nurse and maids into the Ni Chang Pavilion. She had only glanced at it casually when she unexpectedly saw a familiar figure.

"Oh~ Isn't this the famous Miss Lu from Yanjing City? Oh dear, it's my fault, I can't call you Miss Lu anymore, what should I call you again? Madam Gao? Hahahaha!"

She had already gloated several times at home today after hearing about Lu Huan's situation, and even her wet nurse and maids laughed along with her.

The group's gazes almost stripped Lu Huan and his companion bare from head to toe.

Chen Xin'er walked to Lu Huan's side and deliberately looked her up and down again.

Today, because she was going into the city, Lu Huan did not wear the same dress as last night. Instead, she changed into a light blue brocade dress, and wore no jewelry except for a silver hairpin in her hair.

She looked much more subdued and lacked the air of a wealthy young lady she used to have.

If you weren't someone who knew Lu Huan well, you would hardly recognize him now.

"Tsk tsk tsk, getting married really changes things. Who would have thought that the once intelligent, dignified, and beautiful Miss Lu in Yanjing City would turn into an ordinary housewife you could see anywhere on the street. Those who used to fawn over you should really come and see what you look like now."

"Chen Xin'er," Lu Huan called softly. How could she have forgotten about this clown?

Perhaps this person died too young in his previous life, so Lu Huan never even remembered such a person.

Speaking of which, Bizhu had seen Lu Ruyi and Chen Xiner together at the cloth shop more than once. At the time, Lu Huan thought it was all just a coincidence, but looking back now, she realized that she had been too blind and too trusting of Li Shi and Lu Ruyi.

"Go upstairs and wait for me." Lu Huan stood on the top of the stairs, gently nudged Gao Yan, and then looked down at Chen Xin'er, blocking her way. "I don't think I have anything to say to you."

Seeing that Gao Yan had already turned the corner and disappeared from sight, Chen Xin'er shouted, "What's wrong? Is your new husband so unpresentable that you're not even going to introduce him?"

Lu Huan sneered: "Chen Xin'er, are we that close? Or do you want your fiancé, Young Master Du, to know that you're interested in someone else's husband?"

"You!" Chen Xin'er's eyes widened, and her wet nurse tugged at her from behind.

"Miss, please don't forget what the master said!"

Chen Xin'er shook off the wet nurse's hand, glared at Lu Huan fiercely, and walked straight to the counter.

Lu Huan raised an eyebrow. So they just gave up like that? It seems the Prince of Yan's reputation can still fool quite a few people.

She smiled and was in a very good mood.

Turning the corner of the stairs, one sees Gao Yan standing solemnly at the top of the stairs on the second floor, his brows slightly furrowed.

"What's wrong? Have you been waiting long?"

Lu Huan didn't know what was wrong with him, so she walked past Gao Yan and into a private room on the side.

At this moment, a lot of fabrics and dresses have been placed in the private room, all in the colors and materials that Lu Huan mentioned earlier.

Gao Yan followed Lu Huan into the private room, casually bolted the door, and pulled her close, his forehead almost touching Lu Huan's head.

"What are you doing!" Lu Huan didn't dare to use her full strength, but her small, delicate fists had little effect on Gao Yan.

"I really can't present myself well." Gao Yan's tone was as if it contained shards of ice, his voice low and terrifying.

"What?" Lu Huan was stunned. She completely ignored the fact that the two of them were standing close together in an extremely ambiguous posture.

After pondering for a while, Lu Huan finally understood what Gao Yan was referring to.

She giggled and swayed her whole body.

The warm breath sprayed on Gao Yan's face, tickling him, and he couldn't help but rub against Lu Huan's nose.

This action reminded Lu Huan of when her mother had just passed away. Aunt Qin, Bi Zhu's mother, worried that she was too grieving, so she gave her a little white dog. Back then, Lu Huan loved to hug the little white dog and rub it against her face.

Where did that dog go? Well, not long after, Lu Ruyi saw it and, half begging and half forcibly, took it away.

Lu Huan suddenly felt her nose being pinched.

"Laughing is one thing, but being distracted is another! You can't bully people like this!"

Lu Huan was stunned. Had she and Gao Yan switched places? How could he, with his six-foot-tall frame, utter such coquettish words?

"Put me down!" Lu Huan kicked her dangling legs, trying for a while, but couldn't touch the ground.

Gao Yan's eyes darkened, and his breathing became hotter.

Lu Huan realized there was some danger and quickly steered the conversation back on track: "That was the eldest daughter of the Chen family. We've never gotten along since we were kids. Even if you're from a noble family, she can still find fault with you. Only a fool would listen to her provocations!"

Are you an idiot?

Lu Huan stared intently at Gao Yan, waiting for him to let go.
