Adorable Kids in Space: Lucky Wife is So Carefree

The bustling crowds and carriages of ancient times were very attractive to Ruxiu. In modern times, Ruxiu loves to scroll through her phone and shop online, which is why she can never shake off the label of being a spendthrift.

Without a cell phone, shopping is so enjoyable. Anyway, shopping alone doesn't tire the whole family out. Now that I have some money, I don't care too much about a little bit of money.

So, as I kept shopping, I let loose and started walking with a swagger, completely oblivious to my surroundings. My mind and body were relaxed, and I even skipped around a bit every now and then. In modern times, I still think of myself as a little girl.

So relaxed, carefree, and confident, with a round face and bright eyes, her brand-new, elegant ruqun (a type of traditional Chinese dress) fluttered in the wind, with a light pink thin jacket over it. Her face was so similar to her wife of more than ten years, yet their personalities were so different.

The woman was timid and thin, and even when she spoke to herself, she often kept her head down and her hands hanging limply, showing no confidence whatsoever.

Across the street, a handsome man in casual clothes, nearing thirty and travel-worn, sat on a tall horse, holding the reins tightly and watching for a long time.

The several attendants riding closely behind him also tightened their reins and followed beside the man. They were much smaller, around seventeen or eighteen years old.

They had never seen a general like this before. They had been by the general's side for more than two years, sharing life and death experiences.

Last year, we infiltrated the enemy camp together. After much effort, we gained their trust and became their inside agents. Together with the general, we achieved a great victory. I was just promoted to the rank of fifth-grade general—a colonel—and was able to ask for leave to return home.

The captain never approached the military prostitutes in the camp, nor was he ever tempted by the beautiful women offered as a reward in the enemy's rear camp, to the point that the soldiers all thought he was indifferent to women.

The woman opposite him was indeed beautiful and refined, but she was a woman with her hair tied up in a bun. Given the general's current status, many women would flock to him; several local gentry had even offered their daughters as concubines, but the general refused them all.

Those who pay attention to Ruxiu are not just a few people; there are still quite a few discordant voices in this world.

"Lady, come, come, come with me to the teahouse ahead for some tea." At this moment, a plump young man dressed in silk and gold and silver, waving a paper fan, approached Ruxiu and flirted with her in broad daylight, which startled Ruxiu.

This nouveau riche had a pockmarked face, a short stature, and was quite old. Surprisingly, he wore a gold necklace around his thick, wrinkled neck, which was extremely comical.

Ru Xiu lost all interest in shopping, angrily brushed aside her paper fan, and prepared to leave.

"Who are you? I don't know you, why are you causing trouble in the street!"

The three or four sycophants following behind cheered, "Come on, come on, it's your good fortune that Master Jin has taken a liking to you today. Don't refuse a toast only to be forced to drink a forfeit." As they spoke, they reached out to pull him up.

"Is there no law in Taocheng anymore? How can you be so lawless?"

"The law? I am the law! Get him! Send him to my house tonight to warm my bed!" That Mr. Jin spewed nonsense.

Upon receiving the order, several servants rushed forward excitedly. One of them grabbed Ruxiu's arm and tried to drag her away, causing all the things Ruxiu had just bought to fall to the ground, some broken and some rotten.

Ru Xiu was startled, realizing she had met her match. Even though she exercised regularly in modern times, she didn't know any martial arts and couldn't beat these servants. It seemed that besides having a spatial ability, having superhuman strength or martial arts skills was more practical after time travel.

The passersby didn't stop, but were too intimidated by Master Jin's tyranny to step forward and offer help.

To avoid trouble, it seems we still have to play the Zhang family card, and Ru Xiu is trying her best to break free.

Before he could even speak, a white horse charged towards them from the opposite direction. The man on horseback held a long whip and with a flick of his wrist, he sent several servants flying to the ground. His movements were so graceful, far more realistic than any modern martial arts movie.

Even the man who called himself Master Jin was whipped and howled in pain. Every lash hit its mark, yet Ru Xiu was not hurt at all.

"Who do you think you are? You dare to act wildly on Master Jin's turf? You're asking for death!" Seeing his men lying on the ground one by one, his arrogance diminished considerably, but he still kept shouting.

"If you want to know who I am, let's meet at the county government office and see who's courting death." The man glared, his murderous aura radiating from him, causing those who saw him to take a few steps back.

"Guards." The man waved behind him.

Several attendants behind him immediately dismounted, tied the men up with the reins, and escorted them to the county government office as ordered by the general.

"Show~"

"Thank you for saving me, young master. May I ask your name? I will certainly repay you in the future."

Tang Ershi's natural utterance of "Xiu Niang" was cut short by Ru Xiu's voice.

It really is Xiu Niang! How could she have changed so much? And how did she end up in Tao Cheng? She doesn't even recognize her own husband?

Could something have happened in her family during her three-year absence that made Xiu Niang turn a blind eye to her husband of nearly ten years?

Looking into those clear, beautiful eyes, which didn't seem fake, Tang Ershi was dumbfounded.

"My surname is Tang, you can just call me Second Brother Tang." I've been so straightforward, surely my wife will remember something.

A handsome young man stood before me, with deep-set eyes, a high nose bridge, and striking, dashing eyebrows.

His face was tanned red to almost black, and he was nearly 1.8 meters tall, very robust. He was exactly the type that Ru Xiu found attractive, but his scrutinizing gaze made Ru Xiu feel a slight sense of pressure.

Many of my classmates and colleagues today idolize effeminate, weak-looking celebrities, while disdaining them and admiring more masculine, sunny boys.

"I can hand over those local thugs directly to the county government. They might ask you to testify during the interrogation. Ru Xiu, could you tell me where you live?" Tang Ershi was still secretly observing Ru Xiu without revealing anything, but he was disappointed again: his wife did not recognize her husband.

"Ru Xiu lives in Tangjia Village, Qinghe Town. She's been staying at the Zhang residence up ahead for the past two days and will be going back tomorrow." Her eyes were no longer timid, but instead shone with brilliance.

Tang Ershi felt a slight tremor in his heart and breathed a sigh of relief: Thank goodness, as long as she's still in Tangjia Village, she probably hasn't remarried.

He was still a little uneasy, after all, the general had made Tang Ershi's public identity disappear in order to allow him to infiltrate the enemy safely. Now that his identity had been restored, his household registration was in the military camp, but his local identity was unknown.

The crowd gradually dispersed, and Ru Xiu could no longer look directly at the man. She silently reminded herself several times: I am a widow and a mother of four children!

Looking down to pick up the things that had fallen on the ground, Ruxiu still felt a little sorry when she saw the scratched bronze mirror. The two bronze mirrors had cost her a whole tael of silver.

Tang Ershi didn't leave immediately. He handed over the things he had picked up and deliberately touched Ruxiu's hand lightly.

Both of them actually felt a slight electric shock. This must be what it feels like to fall in love, right? They had had opportunities to have skin-to-skin contact with the opposite sex before, but they had never felt this way.

She couldn't help but look up at Tang Ershi again, and suddenly her ears turned red. She quickly said, "Thank you!"

Seeing his wife, whom he hadn't seen in a long time, in such a setting, Tang Ershi was secretly moved. He was satisfied with his wife. He was very grateful to his father-in-law for marrying Xiu Niang to him, who was good for nothing. But this was the first time Tang Ershi had felt this way. Even when they got married, it was all natural and he had never felt this way before. He wondered if it was because he had been "celibate" for too long.

Looking into Ru Xiu's clear eyes is like looking at a stranger, but you can tell she's very shy, like a girl in her first love.

It seems that his wife is not entirely indifferent to him, which puts him at ease a little.

Imagine sharing a bed with someone for nearly ten years, yet not recognizing them upon meeting! Anyone would feel distressed.
