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

That’s such a loss!

Lu Huan tentatively asked, "Ayan, your uncle's carpentry skills are so good, isn't it a waste of his talent to just make furniture for the villagers in this small Gaojia Village?"

Gao Yan had thought about this problem before, but at that time he was just a poor boy and had no way of coming into contact with those high-ranking officials and nobles.

Moreover, when they buy furniture, they don't think of going to the village to find craftsmen.

But now everything is different. All it takes is a word to the Prince of Yan to arrange for someone to enter the Prince's residence.

His hand involuntarily went to his right wrist.

The item tied to it was the wedding gift that Gao Daliu had given them before.

He had taken the sleeve dart apart and examined it; there weren't many iron parts inside.

If everyone in the army were equipped with such hidden arrows, a sudden shot could have unexpected effects.

"Huan'er, you are truly my lucky star!" Gao Yan gave Lu Huan a big peck on her rosy cheek before walking outside.

"Idiot!" Lu Huan hurriedly called out to him, "What's the rush! Yi Lan will be coming over to deliver the clothes in a bit. If there's anything, just ask her to pass on the message!"

Gao Yan scratched the back of his head and chuckled twice: "Huan'er is so thoughtful!"

*

On the second day of the second lunar month, when the dragon raises its head, the chill in the air is much less.

Lu Huan woke up still half asleep when Gao Yan stuffed a handful of small twisted dough sticks into her mouth.

"Huan'er, have some fried dough twists to fill your stomach first. I'll take you out for spring pancakes this morning!"

Lu Huan's eyes lit up.

Because Lu Chengde grew up in the south, every year on the second day of the second lunar month, he would simply follow the southern customs, prepare some offerings to worship the land god, or set off firecrackers in the village to pray for a year of good weather and abundant harvests.

I don't eat spring pancakes.

Lu Huan stuffed two small twisted dough sticks into her mouth, and then fed the rest to Gao Yan.

His speech was somewhat unclear: "Two are enough for me, I need to save room for spring pancakes!"

"You're so greedy!"

"I haven't eaten spring pancakes since my mother died!"

To be honest, Lu Huan hadn't eaten this for almost thirty years.

"I...I didn't mean to." Gao Yan thought he had touched a sore spot for Lu Huan.

To everyone's surprise, she looked up with a smile and said excitedly, "This time I'm going to eat two more!"

Gao Yan's facial muscles relaxed, and he stood aside waiting for Lu Huan to change her clothes.

He picked up a pair of earrings from the makeup box and asked, "Huan'er, would these look good on you?"

Lu Huan didn't even look at it and shook her head directly, "No, I'll just wear these on my head."

"Isn't it too plain?"

Lu Huan's entire outfit, including the headband, was given to her by Yi Lan last night.

There were only a few simple plain silver hairpins and a pearl flower.

They don't even have as many decorations as the maids in the Prince's mansion.

"No, our going out to play today is secondary; the main thing is the important matter concerning the Prince of Yan."

Gao Yan pouted in dissatisfaction, "It's such a rare opportunity to go out and have fun, what a spoilsport!"

"Don't worry, we'll be much freer after we get to Nanjing!"

"Why do you say that?" Gao Yan didn't think about it deeply.

"I won't tell you!" Lu Huan blinked. "You'll find out when the time comes!"

"Oh! You're still keeping me in suspense!"

The two laughed and joked as they ran out one after the other.

Seeing Lu Huan running faster and faster, Gao Yan couldn't help but remind her, "Huan'er, slow down, be careful..."

Just then, Yuzhu came to the front yard to fetch Lu Ruyi's breakfast.

Watching the two of them run out of the yard like a gust of wind, I felt quite emotional.

"Your young lady and her husband have such a good relationship!"

As if she hadn't understood, He Niang asked in return, "Could it be that your young lady and son-in-law don't have a good relationship?"

Yu Zhu realized she had let something slip, so she pursed her lips and didn't say another word.

Back in the backyard, Lu Ruyi had just gotten up.

"You got it back? Is Lu Huan awake yet?"

Yu Zhu lowered her head, not daring to look at Lu Ruyi's face. "They've already left."

Lu Ruyi snorted coldly, "How petty!"

A soft cough came from the bedside.

Lu Ruyi immediately smiled and said sweetly, "Husband, let me help you wash up!"

Her tone carried a hint of complaint, "My sister-in-law is really something. She knew we were going to the city too, but she didn't even discuss the departure time with us."

"Now look what's happened! The family is split into two groups, making them a laughingstock in the village!"

Gao Zhongbao did not respond immediately. After a while, he said indifferently, "The mule cart was bought by my sister-in-law. She has no obligation to accommodate you."

Lu Ruyi was furious inside, but she couldn't show it on her face, so she just continued to act coquettishly.

"Husband, you don't cherish her at all!"

If this had happened last night, on the bed, it would have been quite amusing.

After daybreak, Gao Zhongbao began to feel unwell.

His state of mind was somewhat influenced by his dreams, and he even felt that the life he experienced in his dreams should be the real one.

This made him increasingly disgusted with Lu Ruyi's behavior.

"Ruyi! Look at the way you're sitting! You can't even sit properly!"

Lu Ruyi sat up straight and said timidly, "Brother Zhongbao, you're being mean to me! This is our bedroom, and there's no one else around. Who could have seen us?"

Don't worry, Zhongbao! I definitely won't let you down while we're out and about!

Gao Zhongbao pulled back his sleeve and said coldly, "That would be best!"

His indifferent attitude did not dampen Lu Ruyi's enthusiasm.

If Lu Ruyi hadn't been worried that Gao Zhongbao would rush out to save Lu Huan if he saw her being kidnapped, she definitely would have let him see Lu Huan's miserable state with his own eyes!

Meanwhile, Lu Huan, whom she had been thinking about, finally got to eat the spring pancakes she had been longing for.

Gao Yan rolled up a big one for her. When she took a bite, the filling almost burst the pancake and leaked out from the other side.

Lu Huan took a big bite and squinted her eyes in satisfaction.

Gao Yan took out a clean cloth from his pocket and dabbed it on Lu Huan's lips.

Lu Huan swallowed the food in her mouth, took the napkin, and said, "Thank you, Ayan! You should eat too!"

Seeing that Gao Yan didn't make a move, Lu Huan also picked up a spring pancake and wrapped it up.

She deliberately mischievously wrapped a large piece of scallion inside the spring pancake.

"Naughty," Gao Yan said, but his hands still betrayed him, taking it.

Taking a bite, it was as if he didn't taste the spiciness of the scallion at all, and his eyes and brows were full of smiles and satisfaction.

The two held spring pancakes in their hands, and the warm atmosphere between them made one reluctant to disturb them.

The waiter, carrying two bowls of mutton soup, lingered behind the two for a while.

Seeing that his boss was about to lose his temper, he had no choice but to bite the bullet and walk over to the two of them.

"Brother Gao, your mutton soup is here! Drink it slowly, be careful it's hot!"

"Thank you!" Gao Yan brought a bowl and first offered it to Lu Huan.

He picked up the soup spoon, rinsed it in his own mutton soup, and then put it into Lu Huan's bowl.

"Be careful, it's too hot. Blow on it to cool it down before drinking!"

Lu Huan noticed the man's subtle movement, moved closer to him, and whispered, "Thank you, my lord!"

Gao Yan's face turned bright red instantly, and his earlobes became a vibrant, luscious red.

He stammered, "Wife, don't be silly!"
