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

Spring has passed and autumn has come; three years have gone by in the blink of an eye.

In these three years, not only have the children grown up a lot, but Meng Tong and Lu Chuan have also matured a lot.

For example, right now, who would have thought that the ruthless and decisive Emperor of the Great Zhou Dynasty could sit calmly with a couple from the mountains?

They can even show a genuine smile.

As Zhou Yan fiddled with the teacups on the golden nanmu wooden table, he said with a contented expression, "This place is still the best!"

"The emperor is served the best food and drink in the palace, so why is he thinking about our rural hometown?"

Lu Chuan, who was sitting to the side, made a sarcastic remark.

The man was wearing a simple vest, revealing his strong muscles, and his right hand was obviously holding a baby who was just over a month old.

The little girl's name is Lu Ying, and she is Meng Tong's newborn daughter.

That's why Zhou Yan, whom we haven't seen for three years, appeared in Wuyou Valley.

However, they maintained frequent contact over the past three years, as almost all of the grain seeds in the Great Zhou Dynasty came from Wuyou Valley.

Similarly, Zhou Yan used these seeds to save the country from collapse and provide a stable home for displaced people.

Three years is neither a long nor a short time, and Zhou Yan was under tremendous pressure.

Fortunately, he now has someone to confide in.

Every time Zhou Yan chatted with Lu Chuan and Meng Tong, he felt it was a chance to find solace.

He cherished these two invaluable friends.

Seeing that Wuyou Valley and Da Zhou were getting better and better, Zhou Yan's pent-up frustration finally dissipated this time.

His smile, which he had kept hidden for a very long time, finally broke through at this moment.

……

Today is Lu Ying's full moon celebration, and also the day Meng Tong finishes her postpartum confinement.

Compared to the sharpness of three years ago, the woman now possesses more gentleness and tranquility.

Even his once cool and indifferent eyes have become much more tender.

Sitting on the soft couch at home to rest, Lu Huai, who is almost five years old, is dutifully massaging his mother.

The little guy is so well-behaved now; he comes to chat with Meng Tong every day after school.

He's always praising women or expressing his affection; even at such a young age, Meng Tong is afraid he'll grow up to be a little scumbag.

Thankfully, he's a warm-hearted little guy.

“Mother, Father doesn’t care about you at all. Look, he’s taken my little sister out for a stroll again.”

"Oh! Huai'er still misses her mother the most. How about Huai'er comes to give her a massage every day from now on?"

Sitting next to the woman, Lu Huai frantically applied eye drops to Lu Chuan.

Meng Tong found it amusing. Just as the woman opened her eyes and was about to speak, a tall man walked in from outside.

It was clearly Lu Chuan taking his daughter out for a stroll.

The man held Lu Ying, who was fast asleep, in one arm, his deep, dark eyes fixed on Lu Huai's back.

"What bad things were you saying about me again?"

"No, Daddy," Lu Huai said with a grin. "Did Daddy take my little sister out to play again?"

"No."

Lu Chuan placed Lu Ying on the bamboo bed to one side, then walked towards the bedside.

The man lowered his eyes and looked at the woman on the bed, saying, "Zhou Yan just came by. I went to the front hall to greet him. You were sleeping at the time, and I didn't want to disturb you."

"Why is he here."

Meng Tong was used to Lu Chuan and Lu Huai's bickering, but Zhou Yan's arrival surprised her.

The woman helped the man sit up.

Actually, she had recovered quite well, but she couldn't stand the nagging from Jiang Zhu and her aunts, so Meng Tong had to complete a full month of postpartum confinement.

Thankfully, I'm finally free today.

After getting off the bed, Lu Chuan skillfully dressed the woman and put on her shoes.

Then the two of them left the house together, while Lu Huai stayed behind to look after his younger sister on the bamboo bed.

……

Many people came to Duanshan Village today; everyone is busy preparing for the little one's one-month celebration.

Sisters Lu He and Lu Yan followed Sheng Yuanyuan to the kitchen early in the morning to help with chores.

After leaving the house, Lu Chuan took Meng Tong directly to Zhou Yan's room.

After all, he is the emperor; it wouldn't be right for him not to come.

It takes less than fifteen minutes to get from Lu Chuan's house to Zhou Yan's place.

Meng Tong and Lu Chuan talked as they walked, and soon they arrived.

When the two stepped into the house, Zhou Yan was reading a book.

The man wore a low-key moon-white robe, and his thick cloak was no longer on. His aura was cold and regal.

As soon as Meng Tong entered, she prepared to bow, but fortunately Zhou Yan stopped her in time.

He smiled helplessly, "Madam, you're making me feel too bad."

The woman chuckled softly, "His Majesty is blessed with boundless good fortune; I am the one who benefits from it."

Two sentences brought them closer, and Zhou Yan's previous indifference vanished instantly.

The three sat down at the table, and Zhou Fu personally poured water for Meng Tong and Lu Chuan before going outside to wait.

Inside the room, the three chatted about many things, including those from Wuyou Valley and the Great Zhou Dynasty.

The three of them did not finish their conversation and head towards the main hall until night fell.

……

Spring is in full bloom. Lu Ying was born in March, a month brimming with spring colors. Tonight, the sky is exceptionally bright.

The courtyard in Duanshan Village was full of people, with Meng Tonghe, Lu He, and Lu Yan sitting at the main table.

Lu Chuan, carrying Lu Ying, greeted the people who came today, including many businessmen, and the men handled them with ease.

As Meng Tong watched this scene, for some reason, the scene of their first meeting suddenly appeared in his mind.

A little fool who couldn't even speak properly has now become a capable man who can stand on his own.

Looking down at the children beside her, the woman's eyes welled up with tears from the overwhelming sense of happiness.

"Boom bang bang."

Beautiful fireworks exploded in the sky, their vibrant colors illuminating the happy smiles of everyone present.

Lu Chuan carried the child to the woman.

He held the woman's hand firmly in his large hand and asked in a low voice, "Are you tired? Do you want to go back to the room to rest?"

"No need, the fireworks tonight were beautiful. When did you set them off?"

“My wife mentioned wanting to see fireworks before, and I asked Zhou Yan, and he brought them from the capital for me.”

Lu Chuan answered honestly.

He remained the same, always remembering what she wanted.

The fireworks display lasted for a very, very long time.

Looking up at the dazzling fireworks and sparkling stars, Mingyu then looked down at the two people not far away.

They talked to each other, their faces beaming with gentle smiles.

A man's love for a woman is reflected in his gentle eyes.

Then look at Sheng Zhuzhu and Sheng Yuanyuan laughing heartily on the side. The sisters' playful banter added a lot of warmth and life to the whole mansion.

For some reason, Mingyu felt an unprecedented loneliness at this moment.

"elder brother."

A clear voice rang out, and Mingyu composed himself and turned around to look.

A graceful young woman stood behind her, while the man beside her was tall and robust yet delicate and gentle.

The boy concealed the loneliness in his heart and said with a smile, "Why did you come here?"

"I miss my brother. Mingze, come with me to find you."

"Big brother."

Although he was several years older than the boy, Sheng Mingze still showed a respectful smile.

At this moment, it felt as if something new had been added to my heart.

Beneath the fireworks, there is kinship, love, and friendship; tonight will be a beautiful night that everyone will remember.

Unforgettable.

[The End]
