A farmer has a shrewish wife; he's busy making money every day.

Pei Shao remained silent for a moment, then spoke in a low voice: "Young Master, I've never heard you mention these things before."

Looking at his dejected expression, Lu Chuci smiled gently: "Back then, you were busy practicing martial arts in the capital and had to sneak back to the village to teach me. You didn't have enough brains to work with, so I didn't need to tell you these things."

"Young Master, what are your thoughts on staying in the Lu family? Is there anything you want to do for Xiao Ci?" Pei Shao looked at him cautiously.

Fifteen years have passed, and Lu Chuci has lived in the deserted village, hiding her identity, without doing anything.

He spends his days practicing martial arts and listening to his reports on things in the capital.

Pei Shaodu began to wonder if Lu Chuci had forgotten her original intention in coming to the deserted village.

Lu Chuci looked up at him: "You think I practice martial arts to kill them?"

Pei Shao nodded blankly.

Lu Chuci lowered her eyelids, her eyelashes casting shadows on her face: "I don't want to kill them, and Xiaoci probably doesn't either. I just want them to regret it."

Pei Shao raised his eyebrows and looked at Lu Chuci with a puzzled expression.

Lu Chuci turned to look at him: "Pei Shao, help me prepare a fake death medicine."

Pei Shao instantly understood what Lu Chuci was trying to do. "Young Master, do you want them to have no descendants?"

Ye Qingxue's pregnancy is fake. If Lu Chuci dies, the Lu family will truly have no next generation.

Lu Chuci suddenly smiled, her eyes crinkling into a captivating smile, but the words she uttered were chillingly cold.

"Ha, they're long gone, aren't they?"

……

At night, Ye Qingxue returned home and, exhausted, eagerly snuggled into Lin Zhi's arms.

"Mommy, hug me."

Lin Zhi was a little surprised. She patted Ye Qingxue's back and hugged her tighter. "Oh, my sweet little Xue, what's wrong? Are you tired?"

Ye Qingxue nuzzled Lin Zhi's shoulder, instinctively acting coquettishly, "No, it's just that my stomach hurts a little."

As soon as she said it, Ye Qingxue froze.

She was careless; she completely forgot that she was pregnant and couldn't possibly be menstruating!

"Huh? Your stomach hurts?" Lin Zhi was startled and quickly placed her hand on Ye Qingxue's stomach.

Ye Jing, who was standing next to her, was also startled. "What's wrong, girl? What does it mean if your stomach hurts? Could there be something wrong with the baby?"

Lin Zhi rolled her eyes at him: "Pah, pah, pah, don't talk nonsense! Xiaoxue is so small, she's not even enough for you to curse!"

Ye Jing smiled sheepishly and slapped his own mouth with his hand: "It's my fault, it's all my fault."

Lin Zhi gently touched Ye Qingxue's lower abdomen: "Where does it hurt? Is it here? Or here?"

Ye Qingxue quickly grabbed Lin Zhi's hand, "Oh dear! It's nothing serious, she's probably just tired. I'll go back to bed and rest."

Lin Zhi watched Ye Qingxue rush back to bed in a hurry and couldn't help but chuckle, "This child, she's really a handful!"

After saying that, she looked down at her hands again, "It's been almost two months, why is my belly still so flat?"

Ye Qingxue paused for a moment as she got into bed.

Yes, her stomach really shouldn't be this flat.

But unlike modern times, there were no props for fake bellies in ancient times. If you stuffed something into your belly, it would be exposed as soon as you touched it.

Moving needs to be put on the agenda.

Lying in bed quietly thinking, my stomach started to ache again.

Ye Qingxue hissed softly in pain, and suddenly felt a burning gaze on her side.

Turning her head, she saw that Lu Chuci was still awake with her eyes open.

"What's wrong?" Ye Qingxue sensed that his gaze was a little off.

"My lady, does your stomach hurt?" Lu Chuci asked softly.

Ye Qingxue didn't expect him to ask that. She thought that Lu Chuci was mostly immersed in his own world and wouldn't pay attention to what was happening outside.

"Ah, I'm fine, I just feel a little unwell."

As soon as she finished speaking, she felt a pair of hot, large hands placed on her lower abdomen.

Ye Qingxue was startled and exclaimed in a low voice, "You!"

"Would this be better?" Lu Chuci asked her softly, her voice a little clumsy.

Ye Qingxue initially wanted to stop his hand, but slowly lowered it.

I do feel a bit better.

By sheer chance, Lu Chuci actually found the right way to alleviate her pain.

A warm sensation spread through her lower abdomen, making Ye Qingxue feel extremely comfortable.

"Hmm, it really feels good." Ye Qingxue's tone was a little unnatural. She felt that such actions were a bit too much, but she was also reluctant to give up such a comfortable feeling.

Forget it, I've already wiped my body, what's there to be afraid of?

"Then, my wife, you sleep. I'll stay here." Lu Chuci whispered in Ye Qingxue's ear.

Ye Qingxue shrank her neck, and the excuse she had just given herself suddenly became untenable.

Last time it was applying medicine, this time it's warming her stomach. This Lu Chuci is actually making Ye Qingxue's heart race.

Especially since they slept together every night, and even more so, Lu Chuci was handsome!

Ye Qingxue's face unconsciously turned slightly red: "Okay, sure."

My thoughts kept churning.

A voice in my head was saying: No, Ye Qingxue, you're about to leave, you absolutely mustn't have any improper thoughts!

Another voice countered: But he's handsome! And he's nice to me!

He's a simpleton, what could he possibly know? He's just kind-hearted and helpful, don't get the wrong idea!

But he's really handsome!

Can being handsome put food on the table? Putting aside the fact that you're leaving, if you really live alone with him from now on, you'll have to take care of him for the rest of your life. Are you willing to do that?

……

Well, Ye Qingxue really can't be happy about this.

Forget it! I'm going to sleep!

As Ye Qingxue pondered these thoughts, she drifted off to sleep.

In a half-dream, half-awake state, I seemed to dream that I was about to freeze to death, and there was a stove in front of me.

She couldn't help but move closer, even closer.

……

At the crack of dawn, Ye Qingxue opened her eyes, wanting to get up, but found herself unable to move.

Looking down, she saw that Lu Chuci's hand was actually resting on her waist!

Snapped!

Ye Qingxue slapped him away with one palm.

Lu Chuci groggily opened one eye and groaned, "What's wrong?"

Ye Qingxue glared at him and whispered, "You're pressing down on me!"

Lu Chuci gave a vague "hmm" and then said, "But you also... pressed down on me."

Ye Qingxue's eyes widened as she looked down, shocked to find that her legs were actually resting entirely on Lu Chuci's body!

That dream...

She had nothing to say, so she rolled over and got up, blushing as she went out to wash up.

Ye Qingxue didn't notice that Lu Chuci behind her opened her eyes, her eyes were clear, completely different from her confused state just now.

The corners of his mouth couldn't help but turn up in a smile.

Ye Qingxue went out, found a secluded spot, and took out the toothbrush and toothpaste she had bought at the supermarket to start brushing her teeth.

My mouth was full of foam, and my racing heart hadn't calmed down yet.

Ye Qingxue sensed something amiss in her heart and closed her eyes.

When I see someone handsome, my heart races like crazy.

Tsk, Ye Qingxue! Don't be so pathetic!

Once you start making money, you'll have plenty of handsome guys to choose from!

There's no chance for you two!

Ye Qingxue repeatedly reminded herself and continued brushing her teeth vigorously.
