Fortunately, the trading system doesn't require typing, otherwise Deng Ya would definitely be too excited to type a complete sentence.

Deng Ya: [Are you kidding me?! Do you know how much gold a bottle of Fantasy Brew is worth? I could use gold to build you a two-story house covering 500 square meters!]

Lu Huan was puzzled. Ping? What is that? But Lu Huan understood Xiao Lou. It was probably her boudoir.

Lu Huan: [I'm not kidding, brewing wine is very easy. All you need are grains and yeast; then you just need to distill and purify it.]

Deng Ya: [Is it possible that I don't have either grain or yeast?]

Lu Huan said that she didn't actually have any, but Uncle Qin definitely had a tavern, and they could just dig one out of the workshop.

Lu Huan: [I can procure both grain and yeast. Just tell me if you'd like to start this business!]

Deng Ya was just an ordinary military researcher whose mind was always on the lab, but she had to admit that she was shamefully attracted to him!

The illusion brew! The illusion brew that keeps Uruk safe and secure, preventing anyone from harming them!

Deng Ya: [Let's do it! But I need to find a sugar daddy first! Otherwise, I'm doomed!]

This isn't something that can be decided in a short time. I'll give you the medication to eliminate the side effects and the sleeping pills first, and then you can give me some fruit in return.

Deng Ya also thought that having more debts meant she wouldn't have to worry.

Having already owed Lu Huan so much, a little bit of fruit wouldn't matter. They could just ask the military for more benefits from Lu Huan later!

After the transaction was completed, Lu Huan looked at the two boxes of potions that were filled to the brim in the trading cabin, and he had some mixed feelings.

According to the instructions in the system, a single drop of sleeping pills could knock out an adult, so Deng Ya gave her a whole box full.

Deng Ya thought she was going to take down so many people!

Lu Huan took a drop and added it to her teacup: "Ayan, are you thirsty? Drink some water before you go to sleep!"

Gao Yan peeked at his wife through a crack in the window. He had been smacking his lips with delight, about to say something praising her – no wonder the water was so sweet, fed to him by his wife herself.

The next moment, he fell into a deep sleep.

When Gao Yan opened his eyes again, it was already daylight outside. The room was still warm, the charcoal in the brazier was burning brightly, and the basket next to it was almost empty.

He looked around but couldn't find Lu Huan. He was so anxious that he almost fell off the warm couch.

Just then, the sound of a door opening came from outside, followed by Lu Huan's voice, which sounded very cheerful: "Ayan, are you awake? Did you sleep well last night? Does your head still hurt?"

Gao Yan stared at Lu Huan's face for a long time but couldn't detect the slightest hint of guilt, which made him secretly doubt his own alcohol tolerance.

As Lu Huan carried bowls and plates outside, he said, "The wine you drank last night was specially transported from Hedong Prefecture. Moreover, people in the north like to drink strong liquor, so it is distilled again after being transported here, which makes it more potent."

"Really?" Gao Yan shook his head, showing no sign of discomfort. "But I didn't feel drunk last night!"

Lu Huan glared at him, and now she understood everything. Not only was her father pretending to be drunk, but this man in front of her was pretending to be drunk too! Luckily, she hadn't trusted this guy and had given him the medicine before leaving, otherwise she would have been caught red-handed!

The slight guilt she felt towards Gao Yan vanished completely.

She said with a half-smile, "So you weren't drunk after all. Who was it that kept saying they wanted to drink more last night and then insisted that I help them up?"

Gao Yan started to feel a little guilty. He had only intended to get drunk and cling to his wife, but he hadn't expected to actually get drunk in the end.

"Honey, I was wrong. I didn't expect it to have such a strong aftereffect! Usually, drunk people won't admit they're drunk. I must have been like that last night!"

The man in front of her looked very confident, and Lu Huan wasn't one to hold a grudge, so she let it go gently: "Alright, stop being so cheeky. There's a chamber pot under the bed, remember to wash your hands afterwards."

Gao Yan's face instantly turned bright red; his wife had no intention of letting him off the hook!

He hunched over as he walked toward the bedroom. Behind him, Lu Huan's laughter sounded like a man-eating monster, wanting to devour him whole.

After the two finished breakfast, they went to the front yard to say goodbye to Lu Chengde. Li Shi was also there.

The Lu couple did not look too good. Lu Huan understood immediately; it seemed that Lu Chengde had already told Li about the news she had brought back yesterday.

"Father, Ayan and I are going back first. Mother-in-law specifically told us yesterday to go back early today!"

Lu Chengde nodded repeatedly: "That's how it should be. It's all because of Ruyi. Otherwise, you, her older sister, wouldn't have needed to make a special trip back."

Lu Huan pulled Gao Yan along, preparing to leave.

Madam Li stepped forward, blocking the two women's path. Clutching her chest, she looked hesitant and pleading: "Huan'er, you two sisters married into the Gao family together, why are you so petty and always targeting Ruyi? Could it be..."

She spoke to Lu Huan, but her gentle, weak gaze was directed at Gao Yan.

Lu Huan cursed the old hypocrite in her heart, her voice trembling with tears: "I dare not agree to what my stepmother said. In the past, when Lu Ruyi took a fancy to the jewelry in my dressing case, which one of them did I not give to her?"

I even gave up my former fiancé. What more do you want from me? Are you going to give away all my dowry?

"Father, is that what you mean too?"

Lu Chengde hadn't expected that Li would target Lu Huan, or more precisely, Gao Yan. Her words both accused Lu Huan of disregarding sisterly affection and implied that she still harbored feelings for Gao Zhongbao, which was why she was targeting Lu Ruyi at every turn.

"Huan'er, you should go back now. Don't pay any attention to her nonsense."

Lu Huan nodded and was about to walk out when Gao Yan stopped her.

His tone was firm, and his words were resounding: "I think the one who won't let this go is my sister-in-law. Huan'er and I live in the front yard, while my sister-in-law and parents live in the back yard. We've always kept to ourselves. Where does this lady's claim of being targeted at everyone come from?"

Both Lu Chengde and Lady Li were stunned by Gao Yan. Lu Chengde was pleasantly surprised, while Lady Li was utterly terrified.

Li had heard that Lu Huan had casually married a villager from the countryside, and she was quite pleased with herself, thinking that she had finally won over Cheng.

Who would have thought that after changing his clothes, the farmer would lose all his vulgarity and instead exude an air of nobility.

Upon closer inspection, he was actually much taller and more handsome than Gao Zhongbao.

Li suppressed her shock and forced out two tears: "Then...you shouldn't have kicked me when I was down!"

"You should be glad that I came back to deliver the message, instead of your mother-in-law coming to your door herself. Your mother-in-law said that if things don't return to normal, Lu Ruyi doesn't need to go back to the Gao family."

I really can't understand why Lu Ruyi would dare to do that when she clearly knew what kind of situation the Gao family was in! If she couldn't bear the hardship herself, she could have just brought more servants to take care of her.

Why are you and your daughter fixated on me?! Is it just because I'm unlucky enough to be born into the Lu family like her?

Lu Chengde frowned: "Huan'er, are you resenting your father?"
