Wow, this rough-around-the-edges pregnant wife is something else, she's incredibly ruthless!

The marinated meat skewers, paired with barbecue seasoning from Meng Tong's space, were placed on the grill, and soon after, an irresistible aroma wafted into the nostrils.

The hungry Bai Ye and the wolves all peeked over, their mouths seemingly dripping with crystal-clear saliva.

As she turned the food over with her hands, Meng Tong glanced at it from the side, and a sly glint flashed in the woman's eyes.

She then picked up a few skewers of meat, removed the bamboo skewers, and placed the meat pieces directly in front of Bai Ye and the others.

"Eat up! But I can't give you too much, just a taste."

"Hooho~"

"Ow~"

The big head came closer, but Bai Ye and the wolves didn't mind at all; they just wanted to taste it.

The crispy, oily chunks of meat burst in Bai Ye's mouth with a burst of flavor, the aroma of meat mixed with the barbecue seasoning filling his mouth. He didn't even care if it was hot or not, and finished it off in no time.

"roar~"

want to eat.

Her eyes, which were originally sharp and intimidating, were now filled with pleading and coquettishness, so sweet and sticky that Meng Tong couldn't help but laugh.

However, she patiently explained, "It's not that we don't want you to eat it, it's just that this stuff isn't suitable for you hairy creatures, it'll make you go bald."

white night:……

A sense of despair lingered in the silence as Bai Ye and the wolves looked down at their thick fur.

Giving it up doesn't seem like an option either!

Sigh... never mind, if I'm craving something, I'll just slap myself a few times.

The aroma filled the entire courtyard, and Meng Tong and Lu Chuan were enjoying their meal.

The juicy, glistening roasted meat is paired with refreshing watermelon juice and wine.

Tonight marks the start of the move.

Bathed in moonlight, the family raised their glasses and drank together, exchanging auspicious words.

As for Bai Ye and the others, unable to resist their cravings, they dashed off into the deep mountains, hoping to catch a few pheasants to cleanse their palates.

……

After eating and drinking their fill, Lu He and Lu Yan played in the yard for a long time before finally going back to their room to sleep.

As for Meng Tong and Lu Chuan, they remained seated on reclining chairs under the eaves of the courtyard.

The two were very close, and Lu Chuan could even smell the faint fragrance wafting from the woman.

Lu Chuan gently raised his large hand that was hanging by the side of the chair, and glanced at Meng Tong. Her beautiful eyes were looking at the moon and stars in the night sky.

There seemed to be something on her mind in her clear, bright eyes.

The man's thin lips were pressed tightly together, and a strange light flashed in his eyes. Lu Chuan raised his hand and grasped Meng Tong's small hand that was resting on her abdomen.

In the quiet night, their hearts were in sync.

After a long silence, Meng Tong finally spoke.

She shifted her body, turned to look at Lu Chuan's handsome features and defined jawline, and said, "I discovered a fleet of ships in the mountains today."

"Ok?"

The man raised an eyebrow, and his previously languid eyes flashed with a fierce light as he instinctively tightened his grip on the woman's large hand.

He then parted his thin lips and asked, "Is it near the valley? Or..."

"We're still far away! We just set off from the fishing village on the other side of Laoshan."

"Does my wife know how many people there are?"

Lu Chuan continued to ask, his tone carrying a similar murderous intent to Meng Tong's.

He doesn't allow anyone to disturb his peaceful life.

Shaking her head, Meng Tong frowned slightly, her curled eyelashes trembling, obscuring the expression in her eyes. The woman only said one sentence, "Too far away, I can't see clearly."

"Ah."

A stillness descended, broken only by the crackling of fire in the nearby stove and the faint, lingering aroma of roasting meat.

Clearing his throat twice, Lu Chuan broke the silence and asked, "What are your plans, my wife?"

"Not at the moment, what about you?"

"Me too."

The fleet has just set off, and even at its fastest speed, it would take at least ten days to reach the valley. Moreover, it's going against the current, which will make the journey even slower.

They have plenty of time to prepare.

This time, Meng Tong made up her mind that she must find out the reason behind this.

Why did he repeatedly appear in Laoshan?

The two reached some kind of agreement without prior arrangement, and Lu Chuan and Meng Tong tacitly agreed not to mention the matter again.

……

Seven days later, the newly built courtyard was finally completed.

Even the roof issues that hadn't been resolved before the move were fixed within those seven days.

It was another bright morning. After taking the medicine for almost a month, Meng Tong's nightmares finally disappeared completely.

She slept soundly until dawn every night, and the woman looked even more energetic than Lu Chuan.

She got up with Lu Chuan, and the two went to the kitchen together to wash up and cook.

The Lu sisters, Lu He and Lu Yan, were studying inside the house.

While fiddling with the fresh vegetables in her hands, Meng Tong said as she broke off leaves that had been bitten by insects, "I want to go to the mountains today."

"People are coming."

Lu Chuan immediately understood Meng Tong's subtext and glanced at the woman before asking.

The movement of chopping meat slowed down a bit.

In a casual tone, Meng Tong continued, "Not yet, but soon. There are quite a few of them, roughly over a hundred."

"It seems my wife guessed right, he's an important person. But we're not afraid, let's see how things go first."

"Okay." Nodding slightly, Meng Tong took the wooden basin and poured the picked vegetables into it, saying, "After you finish eating, call Bai Ye and the others back and let them watch the children. We'll go check on the situation."

"it is good."

After they finished speaking, the two did not discuss the topic again until they finished eating, when Meng Tong called Lu He over.

"Mother, are you and Father going out together again?"

"Yes, your father and I will go for a walk in the mountains and make something delicious for He'er and Yan'er tonight."

Blinking her large, grape-like eyes twice, Lu He hesitated for a moment before saying, "Then you should come back soon. My younger brother, sister, and I will be waiting for you at home."

"Okay, Mother will be back soon. Be careful at home, don't play with fire. If you get hungry, Mother has left some food for you in the kitchen."

"Ah."

Nodding vigorously, Lu He watched the two walk into the mountains.

Lu Yan was still playing with Bai Ye and the others, unaware that Meng Tong and the others had left.

……

As Lu Chuan walked along the path into the forest, a golden glint flashed in his lowered eyes. Then, his consciousness focused on a small rabbit, and the man smelled many unfamiliar scents.

As my wife said, there were indeed a lot of people this time.

Upon entering the jungle, Meng Tong activated his supernatural abilities, and the two rode on a "green carpet" towards the fleet.

It took a full hour for Meng Tong and his companion to slowly land, and then they headed towards the river.

Just like before, there were two raging torrents beneath the cliffs. Standing atop the steep cliff, Meng Tong could vaguely see a glimpse of white.

Those are the sails of a ship.

His insightful eyes narrowed slightly as a gust of wind swept past, and Lu Chuan gripped Meng Tong's waist tightly.

The man leaned close to the woman's ear and whispered, "Do you want to go down? They have long knives, and there's a tiger and three wolves on the deck."
