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

Lu Huan soaked in the hot water for less than fifteen minutes before she finally felt a little more refreshed.

When Gao Yan saw that she had opened her eyes, he said, "Huan'er, I don't know how to take off this bodice you're wearing. Take it off and I'll help you rub it."

Ever since they consummated their marriage, Gao Yan has personally washed Lu Huan's undergarments, then handed them to He Niang to dry before sending them directly back to the west wing.

It will not pass through the hands of a fourth person.

However, after being soaked in water, the bib became hazy and indistinct.

It makes you feel even hotter than if you weren't wearing anything at all.

Lu Huan's gaze shifted from his cheeks to his increasingly pink neck, and a mischievous thought arose in her mind.

Lu Huan casually pulled it off without any effort, and the undergarment clung to her fair and jade-like arm like a silk handkerchief.

Gao Yan couldn't help but swallow hard. The next moment, his entire face was covered by the wet undergarment.

By the time he realized what was on his face, it was too late.

A smear of blood peeked out from under the clothes.

Gao Yan got a nosebleed.

Hahaha--

Lu Huan laughed loudly as he watched him flee in disarray.

This is so fun!

Lu Huan washed herself again and got out of the bathtub.

She is pregnant, and soaking in hot water for a long time is not good for the baby.

At this moment, He Niang walked in carrying a food box.

It was the scallion oil noodles that Lu Huan had ordered earlier, along with a few refreshing pickles.

My stomach, which wasn't very hungry before, suddenly felt quite empty.

After setting the table, He Niang did not leave immediately. "Master, Yu Zhu from the backyard came over just now, but my husband sent her away. She seemed quite unwilling."

Lu Huan paused in mixing noodles. "I know. By the way, where's Ayan?"

A hint of mockery appeared on He Niang's face.

"Your son-in-law has gone to wash your baby clothes; he should be back soon."

Lu Huan nodded, indicating that He Niang could leave.

In fact, clothes made of silk can be cleaned by rinsing them with water once, so there is no need to go to the well.

However, recalling the man's bright red earlobes, Lu Huan's smile grew even brighter.

He probably needs some time to calm down.

In the backyard.

Lu Ruyi paced back and forth in the bedroom.

Seeing Yuzhu enter, he couldn't wait a moment longer and went to greet her, "How was it? Did you see Lu Huan? Is she acting strangely?"

Yu Zhu shook her head. "I didn't see the eldest young mistress. Shi Dong said that the eldest young mistress just returned and is taking a bath, and she won't see anyone."

Lu Ruyi's expression became somewhat distorted with ecstasy.

Lu Huan took a bath as soon as she got back. Does this mean she was tricked by the Du family?

Thinking of this, Lu Ruyi couldn't sit still for even a moment.

She needed to confirm it herself and see Lu Huan's miserable state before she could feel any better.

She swept past Yuzhu like a gust of wind. Completely unaware, Yuzhu, out of fear, took a step back.

As He Niang carried the food box out of the west wing, she almost bumped into Lu Ruyi.

Lu Ruyi's face was filled with ecstasy as she craned her neck to look behind her.

"Where is Lu Huan? Yu Zhu came over just now, why is she hiding and not daring to see anyone? Did she do something shameful and is afraid that others will find out?"

He Niang was about to bow, but upon hearing such vulgar language, her body stiffened and her face turned extremely ugly.

"Second Young Mistress, this concerns a woman's chastity; some things cannot be said carelessly!"

Lu Ruyi wanted to rush into the house to catch them in the act, but He Niang stopped her.

"Where did I say something wrong? If she's alright, why did you stop me from going in to see her?"

As soon as he finished speaking, Lu Huan opened the door.

"My room isn't some tea stall where you can just walk in if you have two copper coins!"

In the past, apart from two personal maids, everyone else in my courtyard was a spy for you and your daughter. Of course, you could come and go as you pleased!

But things are different now, Lu Ruyi, don't you agree?

Lu Ruyi bit her lip. "You knew all along? Did you already know?"

Lu Huan straightened his sleeves. "If it weren't for you and your daughter's arranged marriage, I might never have seen your true colors."

Okay, get to the point quickly, I don't have time to waste here with you!

Lu Ruyi didn't believe that nothing had happened to Lu Huan.

She examined him closely, trying to find any clues on Lu Huan's exposed skin.

He even took two steps forward and got close enough to smell Lu Huan's scent.

No, none at all! How could that be!

That's the Du family! How could Lu Huan possibly escape?

"When...when did you leave the Du family? I didn't see you at the ceremony?"

"Is that all you wanted to ask?" Lu Huan mocked. "Anyone who didn't know better would think you came here to catch your partner cheating!"

My relationship with Chen Xin'er has never been good. I originally went there just to see what she was up to.

"If you don't leave after watching, are you going to stay and celebrate the New Year?"

"Aren't you curious about what kind of wedding dress Xin'er will wear and how much dowry she will have?"

Lu Huan looked around impatiently. If she didn't want to wait for Gao Yan, she wouldn't want to waste her breath talking to Lu Ruyi!

"What's there to be curious about? The Du and Lu families are both merchant families, and their dowry is at most thirty-two loads. Could she possibly have a few more loads?"

Lu Ruyi's face immediately lit up with a smug smile, "You don't know this, do you! With the special permission of the Assistant Magistrate, Xin'er brought thirty-six loads of dowry with her when she got married, four more than you!"

Lu Huan silently cursed "idiot" to himself.

In the Dai Viet Dynasty, Emperor Yuan De had a clear rule that commoners and merchants could only bring a maximum of thirty-two loads of dowry.

Even Gao Manting, because her father Gao Shangzhi was a commoner, was not like the daughters of officials who could bring forty-eight loads of dowry.

The Chen family dared to do this only because they thought the emperor was far away and that the magistrate could control everything.

Lu Huan wore a faint mockery on her face, showing no envy whatsoever.

Lu Ruyi didn't get the response she wanted, and felt a little uneasy.

"If you're just going to go through the motions, why did you bring such an expensive gift?"

"What expensive gift did I give?" Lu Huan seemed to remember something and suddenly realized, "You mean the congratulatory gift I sent!"

It was just an ordinary embroidered screen. I had the manager of the Rainbow Pavilion pack it in the best box, and it looks quite nice!

Lu Ruyi gasped, "Just an embroidered screen?"

Lu Huan nodded innocently, "That's right, it cost me eighty taels of silver!"

On the other side, at the Du residence.

Chen Xin'er grabbed the embroidered screen from the wooden box, her eyes bloodshot, and glared fiercely at the maid in front of her.

"How could this be! Where is the Nine Fairy Rainbow Skirt inside?"

She suddenly looked at her two sisters-in-law and said pointedly, "Could it be that someone tampered with it and replaced the contents with this broken embroidered screen?"

She tossed it casually, and the embroidered screen flew a long way, breaking into pieces.

Dewey's two sisters-in-law exchanged a glance, both wearing gloating smiles.
