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

Gao Yan's laughter was like a clear mountain spring, pure and clean, much more pleasant to hear than Lu Chengde's laughter.

Lu Huan's ears were a little itchy, and she turned her head away uncomfortably.

That night, both Lu Chengde and Gao Yan got drunk.

Lu Zheng, accompanied by his servant, helped Lu Huan carry Gao Yan back to the west courtyard.

"Miss, is the young master really not moving into the bedroom? What if he needs to get up at night, or needs tea or water, or something..."

Lu Huan considered it seriously for two breaths, then shook his head.

Although they both looked drunk, they had only drunk half a jin of liquor in total.

She guessed that Lu Chengde wasn't actually drunk, but was just pretending. As for Gao Yan, it was probably because he hadn't drunk much alcohol before.

I'll find Deng Ya to get some hangover medicine later; hopefully, things won't escalate into a fight.

"No need. I'm a light sleeper. If he makes too much noise, I can hear it from the bedroom."

Lu Zheng glanced at his son-in-law lying on the warm couch, sleeping soundly.

They were talking so loudly that they didn't wake him, so he had to remind her again, "Miss, how about I leave two maids to serve you?"

Should we let them climb into bed, or delay the rest of the arrangements?

Lu Huan declined, saying, "No need. We don't have any maids to serve us in the Gao family. Uncle Steward, I can really manage on my own!"

Seeing Lu Huan doing everything so personally, Lu Zheng felt both gratified and a little heartbroken. This was Cheng's precious granddaughter!

"Young Miss, if you encounter any difficulties, please don't hide them from the family! Tell me... and Master too!"

Lu Huan frowned slightly. The head steward in her previous life had said something similar. However, when she returned to the Lu family, she didn't seek out Lu Chengde, but instead turned to Madam Li for help.

At that time, Li said that the Lu family had moved south in a hurry, and their business had suffered heavy losses and was not as good as before. Only then did she give up the idea of ​​asking the Lu family for help.

She trusted Li too much back then.

Even if the Lu family's business is ruined and all their goods are looted, their shops and estates are still there. How could they really be as poor and destitute as Li Shi said!

When she came to her senses and wanted to ask again, Lu Zheng had already turned and walked towards the door.

Lu Huan saw them off and bolted the courtyard gate.

Lu Huan was the only one left in the entire West Courtyard.

Looking at the once bustling courtyard, now only the pillars in the veranda remain standing, and fallen leaves cover the ground, swirling in circles with the cold wind.

Lu Huan didn't wallow in self-pity for long. She straightened her hair and quickly went back into the house.

She sat by the brazier, with a small basket of silver charcoal next to her. It looked like she was warming herself by the fire, but her consciousness was actually immersed in the space.

Lu Huan: [Do you have any hangover cures or sleeping pills?]

Deng Ya: [What is alcohol?]

Lu Huan: [You'll see once you try.]

Deng Ya's reaction surprised Lu Huan, but considering that people in interstellar dimensions don't need to eat but drink nutrient solutions, he found her reaction quite reasonable.

She issued a trade request: [Lu Huan initiates trade. Exchange item: A jug of fine wine. Requested trade: Six kilograms of gold.]

Deng Ya's transaction request was approved almost instantly. She was also very curious; something that could be identified as fine wine by the trading system must be incredibly delicious.

Without the slightest hesitation, she picked up the wine jug and took a swig. The spicy taste almost made her vomit.

"Why is it so strong!"

The next instant, a mellow and rich aftertaste rushed into Deng Ya's nostrils. She was completely intoxicated, her entire face and neck turning bright red.

Deng Ya's computer detected abnormal changes in her body's data and immediately summoned a robot to take her to the laboratory's medical pod.

On the other side, Lu Huan didn't receive a reply from Deng Ya and guessed that she might have gone to make potions, so he didn't just wait around.

She placed the invisibility talisman into the large iron box, and its detailed information quickly appeared on the box.

Tier 1 Invisibility Talisman, Duration: One hour, Effect: Conceals body shape.

Lu Huan frowned slightly. If he only concealed himself, what if those families kept dogs? Wouldn't they be able to smell his scent and trace it back to the Lu family?

She then clicked on Lingwei Fairy's profile picture: [Fairy, I want to go to someone else's house to gather information. Besides invisibility talismans, do you have anything else that I could use?]

Chi Yuwei rummaged through her pile of "junk" again, found a few withered grasses and a flying magic artifact, and put them into the trading system.

Fairy Lingwei: [You can pour the spiritual spring water into the slot of the flying artifact instead of spirit stones, so you won't need to input spiritual energy.]

Lu Huan was overjoyed. Although the houses of the Zou family, the Su family, and the Zhao family were not far from Lu's house, if he relied solely on walking, he might not be able to collect them all in one night.

But with this flying artifact, things are different; it can save a lot of time.

Her only worry was that the trading system wouldn't allow trading such an extraordinary treasure.

[Fairy Lingwei initiates a trade: Four inactive Illusionary Grasses, one Illusionary Grass seed, and one malfunctioning flying artifact; in return, a basket of spirit fruits.]

It actually works!

Lu Huan was so happy he almost fainted, and didn't see the message Ling Wei Fairy sent later, before running off to pick fruit.

When Lu Huan returned with a full basket of pickled vegetables, he noticed her special request.

Fairy Lingwei: [I don't have any water here, so please don't pack me anything with fuzzy skin. Also, those yellow fruits are too sour; I don't like them.]

Lu Huan was also deliberately being mischievous. During the last exchange, he mixed a lemon into the basket of fruit, and he didn't expect that Fairy Ling Wei would actually dare to take a bite.

What she didn't know was that, not to mention Li Mengzi, in that kind of desolate place, in order to survive, even if a stone contained spiritual energy, Chi Yuwei would absorb all the spiritual energy inside.

With a slight thought, Lu Huan's kiwis and peaches inside flew up and were replaced with nectarines and jujubes. He then filled the gaps with jujubes.

A bamboo basket was stuffed to the brim before it was placed into the trading bay.

The first thing to do after the transaction is successful is to put the flying artifact into a wooden basin, soak it in spiritual spring water, and restore its function.

The second thing was to find the seeds of that shapeshifting grass.

Lu Huan carefully compared the four Illusion Grasses and finally found a black seed on the stem of one of them.

She randomly found a corner, stuffed the seed into the ground, and dripped a drop of spiritual spring water on it. Whether it would sprout or not was up to fate.

Lu Huan had other things to do—Deng Ya had replied to his message.

Deng Ya: [So this is the wine you were talking about. In our interstellar world, it's called "Phantom Brew," and it's monopolized by the planet Uruk, so it's extremely expensive. Besides, I think the wine you exchanged with me tastes much better than the one I bought before.]

I only spent a small amount of gold bars, but I got a great deal! No way! Tell me quickly, what do you want? I'll make it up to you!

Lu Huan's eyes flashed. This wine was Gao Zhongbao's collection from his previous life, and it was indeed a fine wine. He wondered how long it had been stored in his spatial dimension, absorbing a considerable amount of spiritual energy.

Even though Lu Huan had specifically removed the spiritual energy before the transaction, the quality of this wine was still unmatched by ordinary wines.

Lu Huan: [Is this wine really that good? What if I taught you how to brew it?]

Deng Ya: !!!
