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

However, Lu Huan's ability level did not upgrade.

If Wu Xuefei knew that she ate crystal cores like candy pills, taking one every few days, yet her superpowers hadn't improved at all, she would definitely exclaim at the wonder of life!

Lu Huan did not intend to reveal any information to Wu Xuefei for the time being.

Firstly, because Wu Xuefei's world was just beginning to undergo tremendous changes, she simply couldn't spare much attention to chat with Lu Huan.

Secondly, it's also because of Wu Xuefei's personality. Even at this point in time, she's still willing to trust others; after some time, that might change.

Recalling her previous life, because Gao Zhongbao needed a mental energy crystal core to enhance his brainpower, Lu Huan spent part of her time in the space, besides working, on cultivating a relationship with Wu Xuefei.

Often, Lu Huan would leave a long message, while Wu Xuefei would only reply with a few simple words.

In this life, without Gao Zhongbao urging him from behind, Lu Huan wouldn't need to be so attentive at all.

She even changed the requirements specification.

Lu Huan: [Requirements: Crystal cores, high-grade pearls and gemstones, other details to be discussed.]

Unexpectedly, the first person to notice the change in her condition was Deng Ya.

Deng Ya: [You want more gems?]

Lu Huan: [Who wouldn't love a shiny, beautiful stone!]

Deng Ya thought to herself: I just don't like it.

Looking at her pure white biohazard suit and remembering the task assigned by the lab supervisor, she continued to try to get closer to Lu Huan.

Deng Ya: [What do you like? There's not much in space, just lots of planets. Each planet has some pretty but useless broken rocks.]

Lu Huan's mind suddenly lit up. She was always thinking about Wu Xuefei's world, how could she have forgotten about the interstellar world!

On a whim, a wooden box flew out of the thatched hut.

Select a few pieces of jewelry and place them in the trading bay.

Lu Huan: [Look, this is the kind of jewelry. The stones can be any color, but the most important thing is that the color of the gemstone must be rich, and the clarity and transparency should be as high as possible. Then there's the cut of the gemstone.]

Deng Ya saw the specific materials of these jewelry pieces on the product details page.

Deng Ya: [I've noted down the gemstones on these pieces of jewelry you provided. I'll have them mined right away!]

Lu Huan: [I can't accept this.]

Deng Ya didn't feel embarrassed at all, since Lu Huan had provided the recipe and ingredients for the Illusion Brew.

Sending Lu Huan an entire planet wouldn't be too much.

Moreover, what she wanted was no different from ordinary stones in today's interstellar world.

It just involves picking out the good-looking parts and putting in a little effort.

Deng Ya: [Don't be shy. Until our lab can stably produce raw materials, we'll have to trade with you for them.]

These expenses are all included in the lab's budget; there's absolutely no need for you to save me money!

Lu Huan: [Then get me a few pounds first!]

Deng Ya wrote down Lu Huan's request and accepted a pound of rice, a pound of sorghum, and two pounds of strawberries.

The first two items were a deposit for the laboratory, while the latter were benefits that Lu Huan gave her.

Like a little mouse stealing food, Deng Ya put two pounds of bright red strawberries into the locker in the changing room before carrying two palm-sized burlap sacks and heading towards the central laboratory.

Time flew by, and two days later, Lu Ruyi returned to the Gao family.

Her return caused quite a stir, mainly because of those two boxes of books. Zhou had instructed her to bring them with her when she returned, and she dared not disobey.

Furthermore, while Le Song was no longer by her side, she gained a maidservant.

It was so noisy outside that Lu Huan couldn't sit still in the room any longer. He put down the book on herbal medicine and went out of the west wing.

Seeing the familiar maid, she chuckled, "Why did you bring Xiangrui along, sister-in-law?"

There's nothing wrong with this stamen; in Lu Ruyi's old courtyard, it was the most inconspicuous one.

However, considering Cai Die's methods, it's not hard to guess why Lu Ruyi chose her.

But why did Le Song return to the Lu family, while Yu Lan did not?

Thinking this, Lu Huan asked directly, "Why haven't I seen Sister-in-law Wei?"

Standing beside Lu Ruyi, Yulan whispered a reminder, using her body as a shield, "Second Miss, don't forget Madam's instructions!"

These words were spoken so softly that even Yuzhu and Xiangrui, who were standing behind them, did not hear them.

But Lu Huan heard it clearly.

She sneered inwardly. It seemed that Lu Ruyi had finally learned her lesson after this trip back to her parents' home.

Lu Ruyi coughed twice, adjusted her tone, and said in a nonchalant manner, "Yulan and the others were lent to me by my mother back then, so naturally they have returned to my mother's side now!"

"Why is Sister Tang here again?"

Lu Ruyi glared at Lu Huan, "Why do you ask so many questions! You're not the head of the Gao family, and Mother hasn't even said anything yet, but you're already asking so many questions!"

Lu Huan secretly rolled her eyes. "You think I care to ask you! With one less Sister-in-law Tang and one more Xiangrui, the number of people hasn't changed much."

The end of the month is just around the corner. If you're still getting meals from the kitchen next month, remember to pay your bill early!

Anyway, Aunt He will only serve food when she sees money.

As for why Yulan stayed, I believe Lu Ruyi, who is not good at keeping secrets, will eventually find out the reason.

She yawned, waved her hand, and returned to the west wing.

The ice sculptures frozen to death on the wall are slowly beginning to show signs of melting.

Even though there was a window between him and the heated kang (a traditional heated brick bed), Lu Huan's ears were still very sharp.

The ticking sound is like a natural lullaby.

Lu Huan felt drowsy and fell asleep in no time.

Meanwhile, in the courtyard, Lu Ruyi watched Lu Huan's dignified back and felt a burning hatred in her teeth.

Yulan then reminded her, "Miss, I must say, a daughter-in-law like the eldest young lady is indeed well-liked by the elders."

You see, when she walks, her earrings barely move.

Lu Ruyi looked at the closed door, indignantly saying, "So what if the elders like him? People like that are so boring!"

Although she said that, she agreed with Yulan in her heart. But when it came to actually imitating Lu Huan, she was very unwilling.

She stamped her foot and glared at the servants who had come with her. "You, carry these two boxes to the entrance of the main house in the backyard."

She then instructed Yuzhu and Xiangrui, "You two, take all my belongings back to the east wing of the backyard!"

She gave Yulan a wink, and the latter, being perceptive, followed behind the two maids.

Lu Ruyi herself followed behind them.

However, she did not go into the bedroom, but instead twisted her waist and walked into the study.

"Brother Zhongbao, I'm back!"

Lu Ruyi pushed open the study door and saw Cai Die, like a fly being chased away, quickly run to the other side of the desk and stand there.

Upon closer inspection, you can also see that her slender arms are trembling slightly.

Lu Ruyi suppressed her anger and swallowed all the curses.

When she looked up again, her face was now beaming with a smile.

"Brother Zhongbao, let me serve you..."

She walked over to Gao Zhongbao.

From an angle where the man couldn't see, Lu Ruyi gave Cai Die a vicious glance.

The next moment, he smiled again.

"Brother Zhongbao, have you finished those five doses of medicine? Let's go to Jimintang tomorrow!"

You wouldn't believe it, but nowadays, Jimintang's reputation is second to none in Yanjing!
