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

This kind of question is like asking a man "Are you capable?" The answer must be—"No."

Gao Yan could tell that the person had a bad relationship with Lu Huan, or even a terrible one, but deep down he couldn't help feeling a little sour.

He gently stroked Lu Huan's waist a few times with his large hand, and before she could get angry and turn on him, he gently placed her on the ground.

Will you still see them in the future?

"Who? Chen Xin'er? I used to see her only twice a year." Lu Huan couldn't resist and secretly rubbed her arm against the spot where Gao Yan had touched her before.

Gao Yan wanted to ask a couple more questions when there was a knock on the door: "Excuse me, gentlemen."

Lu Huan still felt something was strange, and when she turned around, she saw that the door to the private room was bolted shut.

She playfully shoved Gao Yan: "How could you lock the door from the inside! How embarrassing!"

He walked over quickly, opened the door, and there stood the manager of the Ni Chang Pavilion, followed by several maids carrying trays.

After the manager walked in, he looked around discreetly, and finding nothing amiss, he smiled and said, "These are all new styles that have arrived in our store, and we currently have finished products."

Gao Yan looked at the clothes and fabrics on the tray. He had never worn them before, and had only ever seen them on the bodies of wealthy owners or officials.

He shook his head repeatedly: "I have enough clothes, I don't need any!"

Lu Huan pinched him secretly and whispered, "Enough what? Are you planning to wear this to the Prince's mansion tomorrow?"

Gao Yan immediately recalled what he had seen at the side gate of the Prince's mansion and shook his head even faster: "What are you going in for? I'll just wait for you outside."

"Who said before that they would listen to me from now on? Are you going back on your word so soon?" Lu Huan pouted, looking like she was about to cry.

Gao Yan panicked immediately and apologized repeatedly: "Wife, I was just talking nonsense, don't believe me! I'll try, I'll try, okay!"

Lu Huan's expression changed instantly, and she said to the manager with a smile, "Let him try all of these sets!"

When the two walked out of the Ni Chang Pavilion, Gao Yan was completely stunned: "Wife, I really don't know what clothes I'll ever have to wear!"

Lu Huan's purchasing power terrified him.

Previously, Gao Yan thought that buying people and shops was too expensive, but now, looking at Shi Dong and the He family of four, carrying a dozen or so wooden boxes, Gao Yan couldn't help but feel a little lost about his future.

The few dozen taels of silver he had saved could only buy two bolts of fabric for making undergarments.

Lu Huan pinched him under the cover of her sleeve: "This is nothing! It's just that you're waiting to wear it, otherwise I would definitely make the clothes for you."

"You can even make clothes!" Gao Yan thought Lu Huan was the kind of pampered young lady who never lifted a finger, but when he heard that she was going to make clothes for him, he couldn't help but smile.

"What's so surprising! There's a lot you don't know!"

In her previous life, Lu Huan indeed didn't know how to make clothes at this time, but she had been managing the household affairs and had been bullied by Zhou Shi for so many years. If she still couldn't learn, she would probably be nagged to death by the elders of the Gao family.

It's just a question of whether Lu Ruyi, who has never done any housework and has only learned to serve others, can adapt to this kind of life.

Lu Huan couldn't wait to see it!

The group's return to Gaojia Village caused another commotion, with people pointing and whispering about the people and things on the mule cart.

At first, Shi Dong's family felt a little awkward, but remembering Lu Huan's instructions along the way, they couldn't help but sit up straight.

The employer was right; they had indeed signed indentures, but they were merely the employer's servants, no less lowly than these villagers. Their presence represented the employer's reputation, and they absolutely could not bring shame upon them.

Lu Huan specifically gave them pointers, simply because she didn't want them to be at Lu Ruyi's beck and call. Unexpectedly, she gained a loyal family of servants. Madam He even kept an eye on Lu Ruyi in the backyard, learning many of Lu Ruyi's jokes. But that's a story for later.

Lu Huan is unaware of these unexpected joys; she is currently busy greeting the village's gossipy women.

They were following very closely and walking very slowly. Gao Yan was worried that if they accidentally bumped into something, they would end up lying down in front of the mule cart. In that case, Lu Huan would have to pay a hefty sum, and things wouldn't end well.

They crossed the entire village at a pace that was almost the same as a few grandmothers and aunts walking, taking enough time for them to make a round trip from Yanjing City.

The group finally arrived at the Gao family's door. Gao Yan helped Lu Huan out of the car and whispered, "Thank you for your hard work."

"What's the big deal!" Lu Huan thought to herself. It was just a few pleasantries, how could she be tired? She hadn't even seen their true colors on the road to escape!

Zhou had already come out after hearing the news. Looking at the gold-embossed logo of Ni Chang Ge on the wooden box on the mule cart, she felt that Lu Huan was tearing her flesh out.

Her Zhongbao has never even worn clothes from Ni Chang Ge!

Her hand trembled as she pointed at Lu Huan: "You...you...how did you buy so much stuff! How much money did this cost?!"

Lu Huan pinched her fingers and arm, and with a little skill, sent Zhou's hand back into her own arms.

“Mother-in-law, don’t be fooled by the amount of things; there’s enough for the whole family! All of my husband’s clothes combined only amount to two sets to alternate. Don’t forget, tomorrow we’re not only returning to our parents’ home, but my husband and I are also going to the Prince’s residence. We can’t be impolite!”

Zhou blinked, as if that made sense.

Lu Huan continued her deception: "The dowry that was sent included clothes for my younger brother and sister-in-law. I've already picked them out and sent them to you. I can't go back to my parents' home today, so I can only buy ready-made clothes!"

We bought some for ourselves, so how could we not buy some for you and your father-in-law? That would be too much! Actually, it's not much for each person!

Following her line of thought, Zhou calculated that the quantity was indeed correct: "Why didn't you buy some for Zhongbao?"

Lu Huan feigned shyness, lowering her head to hide the disgust in her eyes: "My second brother naturally has his wife to worry about, how could it be my place as his sister-in-law?"

“That’s right, sister-in-law! You can’t be this biased!” one of the women said.

Zhou rolled her eyes at the man. "A distant relative, already beyond the fifth degree of kinship, yet he still comes to try and establish a connection!"

However, given these people around, she couldn't say anything more and could only watch helplessly as Lu Huan ordered the two boys to move so many wooden boxes into the west wing.

Zhou was envious and initially wanted to avoid seeing it, but being surrounded and flattered by her sisters-in-law made her feel a little smug.

"Look how well you've married these two wives! They even bought servants specifically to serve you, and they've already given you so much fabric on their very second day after they entered the household."

"I saw it too! The fabric was shimmering golden in the sunlight; it must be so comfortable to wear! I wish I could be as lucky as you!"

"What are you dreaming of! Look at your mud-brick house, how can it compare to their big brick and tile house!"

"If you ask me, it's all thanks to his son's success; all the good girls are vying to marry him!"

"That's right! I think it's because their great-grandfather was quick-witted and went out to do business that he amassed such a fortune. By the time it came to Zhongbao's generation, it didn't hinder him from taking the imperial examinations at all!"

Seeing that the conversation was getting increasingly sarcastic, Zhou started to chase them away. She didn't have much contact with them to begin with, and if it weren't for wanting to hear more flattery, she would never have allowed these women into the courtyard.
