Famine and exile: I brought the Spirit Spring to save the entire Marquis's mansion.

Extravagance, like a dream.

Li Yuzhi fell silent again.

Huo Qingchuan suddenly didn't want to ask anymore.

He felt stupid.

Yuzhi's words just now were probably meant to comfort him. She has now fallen in love with him, which is his long-cherished wish. Why bring up the dead person again?

It inexplicably stirred up her memories.

So stupid.

He held her even tighter, as if she were a treasure and a source of comfort.

"Husband..." Li Yuzhi whispered.

"You seemed to have asked me about this once before, but I didn't dare to say anything. It's nothing now, that superficiality..."

"Yuzhi, tell me more about your journey on the road."

Ok?

My husband's speech is always so disjointed these days.

It must be controlled by poison, Ning'er said that this poison damages people's brain nerves.

"Okay, I'll tell you in a bit. That glitz and glamour was actually me..."

"Yuzhi, I love you too."

This leap was a bit too big.

Li Yuzhi was stunned.

"I liked it the first time I saw it." Huo Qingchuan's voice was soft and gentle, like a mellow wine in the quiet night.

It made everyone drunk with the smell.

"That year, you went to Da'an Temple to offer incense, but heavy snow blocked the mountain, so you and your family stayed overnight at the temple."

In the woods behind the mountain, you were playing in the snow with your younger siblings when I unexpectedly wandered in. Do you remember what you were doing?

doing what?

That was their first meeting, and of course she remembered it.

Her mother asked her to look after her younger brother and sister. Her brother fell down and lay in the snow, refusing to get up. The maid had no idea what to do with him, so she went to help him up and gently cleaned the snow off his neck.

"You see a frozen squirrel in the thicket of thorns, and despite being pricked, you rescue it and warm it up by wrapping it in a cloak."

I thought you would take it home to play with, or give it to your naughty younger brother to appease him, but you gave it away.

When your younger brother cries, tell him, "That's a child raised by Buddha; it's not to be desecrated or played with."

Li Yuzhi suddenly realized that it was something that had happened before, and that he had been watching from the sidelines at that time.

"At that time, I thought, she is a kind and lovely girl, and I want to know who she is."

So I revealed myself, saw your face hidden beneath your hat, and learned your identity.

After that, he sent someone to inquire and propose marriage.

Li Yuzhi's heart trembled violently.

It wasn't because... she took care of her younger siblings, which caught his eye.

It's because... she's kind and lovely.

Li Yuzhi was so moved that tears streamed down her face. He hadn't married her just to find a suitable sister-in-law for his younger brother and sister-in-law.

Heaven has been so kind to her.

In the darkness, the man carefully reached out and gently wiped it.

I'm sorry.

I should have let go of my reserve and pride long ago and said everything.

Tell it to the woman you love most.

His deepest regret was this, as he spent his days in the dark underground palace, oblivious to the passage of time.

In this lifetime, I have never told Yuzhi that I like her.

"Husband..." Li Yuzhi sobbed uncontrollably, "From now on, can you please be like this and say everything?"

Me too, I won't hide it anymore...

"it is good."

"And then there's the extravagance... I won't lie to you, she's my cousin..."

I never expected the woman to be so stubborn, still dwelling on what just happened.

The man lowered his head and kissed her lips.

Yuzhi, there's no need to say anything more, no need to say anything more.

For the rest of my life, you have always belonged to me.

“…Sister…” A soft murmur escaped from her lips.

Huo Qingchuan's initiative to kiss her brought tears of joy to Li Yuzhi's eyes, and she couldn't wait to respond.

But the man left again.

"Yuzhi, who did you say he is?" Her tone was slightly surprised, and she seemed to have misheard.

"Hmm..." Li Yuzhi's mind was slow to react again, and she let out a very charming "hmm" with a beautiful and lingering ending.

"Cousin, Xia Jiangye's cousin from his aunt's family who passed away two years ago."

Her name was Fu Ruomeng. Because she was very spoiled at home, she studied with her cousin from a young age and wrote excellent essays. When her cousin suddenly fell ill and could not participate in the imperial examination, she secretly took his place.

We only found out after she finished her exams; Dad was almost scared to death.

Unexpectedly, the family later received news of my cousin's death.

Therefore, Ruomeng could only escape by feigning death.

His family and my family weren't close, and after my aunt passed away, we lost all contact, so you didn't know anything about it.

But she had genuinely admired that cousin, thinking she was very brave.

"I'm sorry, my husband. I remember you asked me this when we first got married, but I dare not say anything about such fraudulent and disorderly conduct."

Time seemed to stand still for a few breaths.

His body suddenly moved upwards, and his hands, which had become so strong, gripped her shoulders and dragged her to be parallel to them.

It pressed down heavily.

I never knew Huo Qingchuan could be so reckless and crazy.

It looked like a ball of fire, lightning, and thunder.

It's like a raging storm, like moths drawn to a flame, giving it their all.

The woman sobbed softly.

It is joyful, a feeling of surviving a catastrophe, of something lost and then found again.

Yes, madness and depravity.

……

It wasn't until the sun was high in the sky that there was any movement from the main tent.

Li Yuzhi lowered her head, carried the basin of water out, and splashed it away.

"Sister-in-law!" Sang Ning suddenly appeared.

She was so startled that she nearly dropped the basin.

"Ning'er, you scared me." Li Yuzhi gave her a reproachful look.

That one glance, like spring dew, held a unique charm.

Sang Ning chuckled to himself.

The elder sister-in-law's face was rosy and she looked shy, a far cry from her usual worries. It seems she's been spending a lot of time talking with her elder brother!

His lips were even chapped; that must have been incredibly intense, he must have used every trick in the book!

Although it spoils the mood, the reminder still needs to be given.

"Sister-in-law, I have to remind you, your brother's body is poisoned. You can't have a child at this time. Don't forget to ask Lu Shishen for some medicine."

Li Yuzhi's face turned bright red instantly.

"What are you saying? No matter what, I can't do it at this time... We don't have it!"

Oh, no, no.

"Sister-in-law, your neck is showing a little bit..."

Li Yuzhi hurriedly tried to cover it up.

Only when I touched the tightly closed collar did I realize I'd been tricked.

He couldn't help but pat Sang Ning on the shoulder.

"No, really! You wait, I'll laugh at you later too."

What a joke! Is she someone who's afraid of being laughed at?

Sang Ning, who had been grinning, suddenly became serious and looked behind Li Yuzhi, asking, "Big brother, why have you been staring at sister-in-law? Didn't you get enough of her yesterday, even after a whole day and night?"

Li Yuzhi suddenly froze, her face turning as red as a boiled shrimp, her eyes filled with the shyness of a little girl.

She turned around slowly, nervously.

"Husband, why did you come out..."

There was no sign of Huo Qingchuan anywhere!

"Hahahaha—" Sang Ning laughed loudly and ran away.

The laughter was like a duck frolicking.

Li Yuzhi was so embarrassed that she entered the tent with a blush on her face.

He came in and immediately took his anger out on her: "It's all your fault."

Huo Qingchuan, being inside, heard everything clearly. Based on what Li Yuzhi told him and what he had learned over the past few days, he gained some understanding of Sang Ning's personality.

Bold, resilient, opinionated, and unrestrained, she was upright yet slightly cunning. She protected her entire family from exile to Liangzhou, making her an extraordinary woman.

She and her fourth brother also went through a lot of hardships.

He naturally had to show respect for such a great favor.

Moreover, Yuzhi clearly likes her; she's become noticeably more lively.

He smiled and said, "You're so capable, you even kicked your second brother out, why are you afraid of your fourth sister-in-law?"

Like you said, if she laughs at you, then you laugh at her too.

Li Yuzhi: "You don't know, she's shameless."

Huo Qingchuan smiled again, staring at Li Yuzhi's flushed face, his eyes filled with longing.

By the way, his wife is very shy.

But yesterday, I did some really audacious things.

"Husband, may I learn acupuncture from Doctor Lu? Then I can give you acupuncture treatments, okay?" Li Yuzhi asked cautiously, her eyes full of anticipation.

She knew he was a proud man and would never want to expose his injured body to others; each acupuncture session was an ordeal for him.

Each time she fell ill, she wouldn't allow anyone to help her, biting her tongue and pricking her legs to get through it.

She was truly heartbroken.

Huo Qingchuan felt a slight pang in his heart, reluctant to see her like this.

Despite not wanting her loved one to see her in such poor health, she still agreed.

"it is good."

Just as Li Yuzhi was about to smile, she saw the man's face turn pale, and he suddenly spat out a mouthful of foul blood.
