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

"Is it still cold?"

"what?"

Just when Lu Huan thought Gao Yan was about to come closer, he suddenly asked this question.

"Weren't you feeling cold just now? You're not cold now, are you?"

Seeing Lu Huan's slightly open mouth and incredulous expression, Gao Yan couldn't help but pinch her cheek and chuckle softly in a low voice.

He rolled over and lay flat next to Lu Huan: "We have to get up early tomorrow, so go to sleep early!"

He paused, then added, "The old doctor said that these five doses of medicine must be finished."

Lu Huan was puzzled. How did this conversation turn to taking medicine again?

After a while, she remembered the old doctor's instructions—abstain from sexual intercourse while taking the medicine. She wanted to explain that she didn't mean it that way, but she could already hear Gao Yan's even breathing beside her.

Lu Huan could only turn to the side, fuming, and let her consciousness sink into the space.

As usual, the nearly 100 acres of rice and wheat in the space were all stored in the warehouse. Since there were no sacks, they could only be piled on the floor of the warehouse, right next to the small mountain of gold bars.

Lu Huan had exchanged a batch of these rice and wheat with Fairy Ling Wei. According to her, these grains were comparable to the spiritual rice and wheat of the cultivation world.

Its deliciousness is something anyone who has tasted it will discover. If Lu Huan doesn't have considerable influence, it's best not to show it off easily.

However, what Chi Yuwei didn't know was that Lu Huan could manipulate the spiritual energy concentration within the space with a single thought. She wanted to find out just how good the quality of the crops grown in the space was. Therefore, she deliberately exchanged unprocessed crops with Chi Yuwei.

Chi Yuwei enjoyed several bowls of spirit rice porridge. Although her appetite had diminished considerably after she established her foundation, there was still a big difference between not wanting to eat and not having anything to eat at all.

Overjoyed, she drew many low-level talismans for Lu Huan, such as invisibility talismans and defensive talismans—talismans without any offensive capabilities. Even though Chi Yuwei wasn't skilled in talisman-making, she could easily draw quite a few of these low-level talismans, and they didn't consume much spiritual energy.

Fairy Lingwei requests a trade: 100 talismans in exchange for 10 jin of spirit rice.

This outrageous deal really startled Lu Huan.

Lu Huan: [Fairy, are you serious?]

Fairy Lingwei: [I sense that you will need these things.]

Lu Huan clicked to confirm the transaction without any psychological burden.

As Wu Xuefei's side develops, the number of crystal cores in the plane will only increase. And if Lu Huan demands that all valuable items like the Space Buttons be traded for spiritual energy crystal cores, Wu Xuefei will try her best to find them for her in order to increase her own value.

These resources are more than enough to support Fairy Lingwei's soul advancement to the next stage. Once she leaves the Land of Desolation and returns to the cultivation world, she will have access to countless treasures to trade with Lu Huan.

Lu Huan packed the fruit to be delivered to the Prince's Mansion the next day into four bamboo baskets. She deliberately packed a few extra pounds into each basket, in case some fruit was damaged during transport.

While sorting through the pile of talismans, she inexplicably placed one unlucky talisman aside.

Lu Huan felt like she had just fallen asleep when she heard Gao Yan calling her, "Huan'er, it's time to get up!"

It's so warm on the heated kang! She doesn't want to get out of bed at all!

She even felt a sense of despair, like she'd given up entirely: maybe she should just tell Gao Yan about the existence of the space. That way, she could leave everything to Gao Yan and wouldn't have to do it herself.

However, such a thought only flashed through Lu Huan's mind for a moment before Gao Yan pulled her up.

"Huan'er, the city gates opened at 5 a.m., and the carriage will only take a quarter of an hour to reach Gaojia Village. It's already 5 a.m. now!"

Lu Huan instantly snapped out of her daze. Everything else aside, the most important thing was that she needed to put all the bamboo baskets out beforehand.

She hurriedly put on her clothes, and even had Gao Yan tie her hair up for her. Her long, black hair was tied high on her head, making her look like a handsome young man.

Looking at herself in the bronze mirror, Lu Huan felt quite pleased with herself. After drinking the spiritual spring water, she had become much more beautiful, and her skin had become smooth and supple.

No wonder Gao Zhongbao looked like he was in his early twenties when he was nearly thirty in his previous life, and even had the elegance and shrewdness of someone who had been in officialdom for a long time.

Lu Huan had no intention of giving Gao Zhongbao such a wonderful thing as the spiritual spring in this lifetime, and he didn't even want to share half of the fruit in his space with him.

Gao Yan wrapped another cloak around Lu Huan and instructed him, "If you need any help, just call me. Don't be shy!"

"What's there to be embarrassed about!" Muttering to herself, Lu Huan peeked out quietly, made sure there wasn't a soul in the yard, and quickly slipped out.

Just as she slipped out of the courtyard gate, the back gate opened a crack, revealing a cloak that flashed by before slowly closing again.

Lu Huan went around to the west side of the Gao family's house, that is, the outside of the west wing, and put out five bamboo baskets, then covered them with fallen leaves from the side.

Just as they finished doing this, the faint sound of horses' hooves came from afar.

Soon, a horse-drawn carriage with a lantern hanging from its roof came towards the Gao family's house.

As the carriage drew closer, Lu Huan could see clearly that the horse's four hooves were wrapped in thick cotton cloth.

No wonder the sound of the horses' hooves was so light that it didn't disturb a single villager.

The person who jumped down from the carriage surprised Lu Huan even more.

"Uncle Qin, why have you come in person!"

Qin Hui jumped off the train, rubbing his arms as he looked at Lu Huan with concern: "Miss, you've been waiting long! Why are you standing here alone? Where's Gao Yan?"

Hearing his voice getting louder, Lu Huan quickly gestured for Qin Hui to lower his voice: "Uncle Qin, I asked Ayan to keep an eye on the yard for me. I came home late yesterday and my mother-in-law gave me a good scolding!"

Qin Hui also understood that nowadays, young ladies who become someone's wives often have no choice in their own lives.

"Alright. This concerns the Prince of Yan's residence, and today is the first time, so I will definitely oversee it personally. After we move south, I will entrust it to someone I trust, so please rest assured, Miss!"

Lu Huan trusted Qin Hui, but that didn't mean she trusted his subordinates: "Uncle Qin, let me meet this person sometime. There can be no mistakes on the mission to the Prince of Yan's residence!"

"I understand! Miss, the things you requested are all tied to the back of the carriage. Please take a look!"

The driver and servant quickly unloaded the goods: a hundred sacks and a stack of bamboo baskets.

Lu Huan didn't check the quantity carefully; she had just brought it along. She parted the fallen leaves to reveal the excellent quality fruit underneath.

One basket of crisp persimmons, two baskets of fragrant pears, and two baskets of tangerines. The others were fine, but the aroma of the fragrant pears was so strong and overpowering that Qin Hui felt thirsty upon smelling them.

But he dared not touch it with his hands, for fear of ruining the fruit.

He rubbed his hands excitedly: "Miss, where did you get such good fruit? I think it's even better than the tribute fruit!"

"Uncle Qin, you can't say things like that carelessly."

"Yes, yes, yes!" Qin Hui patted his mouth, inwardly regretting his actions. Going to Jinling so rashly would only be a burden to the young lady!

"This is the token for sending the goods in. Just take this to the head steward. The Prince's mansion had four baskets, and the extra basket of fragrant pears is for your family. This is a very good thing!"

The rest is self-evident.

"Understood!"

At this moment, the coachman and his servant also threw half a pig on the ground.

"Young Miss, there are so many things, let me have them delivered to you!"

A coughing sound suddenly came from the courtyard. Lu Huan felt a pang of anxiety. This was the signal she and Gao Yan had agreed upon—someone was coming out!

That's strange, usually no one gets up at this hour!
