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

The wheels crunched on the mud and sand, making a squeaking sound, and both of them felt a tingling sensation in their bodies.

The air inside the carriage became somewhat tense.

Gao Yan looked at the red lips within reach and swallowed hard. His slightly protruding Adam's apple bobbed with his movements.

Lu Huan pinched his palm, took out a jujube from his spatial storage, and swiftly stuffed it into Gao Yan's mouth.

"Eat a date!"

Gao Yan was stunned for a moment, then chuckled.

"What are you laughing at!" Lu Huan was furious, as if he had seen through Lu Huan's inner turmoil, which earned him a provocative raised eyebrow.

Lu Huan couldn't stand it, and the two of them laughed and joked around in the carriage.

Hearing the laughter behind him, Shi Gu's smile never faded. The master and son-in-law have such a good relationship; they'll soon have a little master!

Upon arriving back at the Gao family's courtyard gate and recognizing the familiar hem of her clothes, Shi Gu stopped the mule cart and asked, "Mother! Why were you waiting outside?"

Gao Yan then lifted the carriage curtain from inside and asked, "What happened?"

He Niang stepped forward and whispered, "Master, son-in-law, it seems that the madam found the second young mistress's room to be in a terrible state and got very angry. She has been cursing people in the backyard."

My employer warned me, so I haven't dared to approach. Employer, please be careful, don't go looking for trouble!

Lu Huan helped Gao Yan down from the mule cart.

"What's meant to happen will happen, I know that, and I know what I'm doing."

"Huan'er..." Gao Yan was also a little worried. He was worried that his wife was thin-skinned and would feel sorry for him if she cried after being scolded.

Lu Huan squeezed Gao Yan's hand and smiled slightly: "Don't worry."

He was not at all at ease!

Watching Lu Huan walk into the backyard, Gao Yan paced back and forth at the gate like a rooster, hands behind his back. He was determined to rush in if anything went wrong; even if he couldn't help, he'd take the blame for his wife!

Lu Huan, on the other hand, remained much calmer.

In her previous life, she had been scolded by Zhou countless times, whether she was right or just being unreasonable, she always handled it with ease.

Her pink jacket embroidered with forsythia was very eye-catching, and Zhou noticed at a glance that someone had entered the backyard.

"So you still know how to come back!" Zhou rushed out of the room like a gust of wind. "Go and see what a fine daughter of the Lu family has done!"

Lu Huan had already heard about it from He Niang, so she definitely wouldn't go in and smell the stench from Lu Ruyi's excrement. Instead, she seemed thoughtful: "I saw my sister-in-law vomiting repeatedly that day. Could she be pregnant?"

Zhou was initially delighted, but then exploded like a lit firecracker: "You think I'm an idiot, don't you! How could she be pregnant so quickly in just a few days! She's got a plague on her, how unlucky is our Gao family to have married such a thing!"

"How could this be? My sister-in-law never acted like this when she was in the Lu family!"

With bloodshot eyes, Zhou stared fiercely at Lu Huan: "You mean the Gao family has bad feng shui?"

“My mother-in-law misunderstood me; that’s not what I meant. I suspect that my sister-in-law’s abrupt marriage might have offended the household gods, so…”

Lu Huan was certainly not trying to help Lu Ruyi out of a predicament; such a statement would only force her to persuade Gao Zhongbao to leave even more earnestly.

Zhou regained her senses and realized that Lu Huan's words made some sense; otherwise, why was the whole family unharmed while only Lu Ruyi was unlucky?

Just thinking about Zhongbao's bedroom made her fury surge up again.

"How did the Lu family raise Lu Ruyi to do such a thing! I think everything inside is ruined!"

Hearing this, Lu Huan finally managed to laugh out loud. Before Zhou Shi could get angry at her, she preemptively said, "This way, Li Shi can get her brother-in-law a new set!"

Just as Zhou was about to curse, she turned around and walked towards the main room upon hearing this: "Hmm? Continue!"

Lu Huan fawned over Zhou Shi, saying, "Think about it, Lu Ruyi made such a mess of her brother-in-law's room, and she doesn't even bother to clean it up. She's left such a huge mess. Mother-in-law, you can come over and demand an explanation!"

You exempted her from the daily greetings and didn't need her to serve you. A good mother-in-law like you is hard to find even with a lantern!

I think she's just not appreciating her blessings, that's why the household gods are punishing her!

Gao Manting did the same thing as Gao Yan, except she was eavesdropping in her own room.

Hearing Lu Huan speak ill of Lu Ruyi, she suddenly pushed open the door: "Don't speak ill of your sister-in-law!"

The corners of Zhou's mouth that had just curled up fell again, and she said with a dark face, "Gao Manting, why can't you learn something good! Why are you like that maid Cuizhu, eavesdropping on the adults' conversations!"

Gao Manting stubbornly refused to budge: "It's wrong of you to speak ill of your sister-in-law!"

Lu Huan said quietly, "My sister-in-law has only been married into the family for a few days, and she already has such a good relationship with Manting. I'm truly envious!"

These words were like adding fuel to the fire. Zhou pointed to Gao Manting's boudoir, which was also the couple's side room: "Manting, go back and embroider! If you don't finish embroidering the patterns today, you can forget about getting new clothes for the New Year!"

Gao Manting glared at Lu Huan and snorted fiercely. After rushing back to her room, she slammed the door shut with a loud bang.

Zhou pounded her chest and cried out, "What a misfortune for our family!"

At this moment, Zhou had completely forgotten Lu Huan's existence, and only felt that the Gao family's backyard had become so chaotic after Lu Ruyi married into the family.

"Mother-in-law, why don't you go to the Lu residence?"

Zhou flung Lu Huan's hand away: "Me, the mother-in-law, come to your door in person? She's not qualified!"

The next moment, she stared intently at Lu Huan's face, making Lu Huan feel a little embarrassed.

"Mother-in-law, why are you looking at me like that?"

"You go in my place!"

"Oh? That's not good! The Li family will eat me alive!" Lu Huan pretended to be scared.

Upon seeing this, Zhou felt even more that it was a good idea.

"Go back and describe to Li Shi how terrible Zhongbao's room is. Then convey my message: ask her if she is willing to restore it to its original state. If she is not, Lu Ruyi doesn't need to return to the Gao family!"

"Mother-in-law, are you really planning to divorce Lu Ruyi?"

Zhou glared at Lu Huan, and her impression of her changed a bit.

I used to think Lu Huan was tough, but I didn't expect him to be so stupid. But then again, if her husband were to be snatched away by her half-sisters, Zhou Shi would definitely scratch those little vixens' faces.

She snapped out of her reverie and tapped Lu Huan on the forehead. This was an intimacy that only Gao Manting could enjoy.

"I was just trying to scare her a little, otherwise how could I get Zhongbao to change the furniture! No, I'm afraid we'll have to pry up all the bluestone slabs in the house and replace them with new ones!"

"Mother-in-law, mother-in-law!" Lu Huan hurriedly interrupted Zhou's wild idea. "Don't forget, today is already the fifth day of the tenth month. There's definitely no time to replace the bluestone slabs! I think we should have Li replace the furniture for my brother-in-law and clean everything inside and out. What do you think?"
