"Lu Qing? Why are you back again?" Shen Qiqi asked casually, but secretly groaned in her heart.

Why is it him again!

This man is like a ghost that won't go away. What on earth does he want to do?

Xu Jing also saw the figure at the door, and immediately fell silent, staring at Lu Qing nervously.

Lu Qing didn't say anything, but just walked silently to the stove and put down the fat rabbit in his hand.

The hare's fur was stained with dirt and grass, and its pair of black eyes were wide open, as if accusing the injustice of fate.

"You...what are you doing..." Shen Qiqi looked at the dead rabbit, feeling nauseous, but pretending to be calm on her face.

Lu Qing remained silent and turned around to leave.

"Hey! Wait a minute!" Shen Qiqi hurriedly called out to him, "This rabbit...what are you going to do with it?" Her eyes rolled and a plan came to her mind.

There’s nothing wrong with pretending to be weak!

She coughed lightly twice, holding her chest, looking weak, "I'm weak and can't stand the smell of blood. How about... you help me deal with it?" As she spoke, she secretly glanced at Lu Qing to observe his reaction.

Lu Qing paused, but did not look back.

He was silent for a moment, and finally picked up the rabbit without saying a word, walked to the well in the yard, and began to process it.

Shen Qiqi looked at his back and secretly breathed a sigh of relief. Fortunately, this trick worked!

"Qiqi, you can do it!" Xu Jing leaned close to Shen Qiqi's ear and whispered, "This tactic of retreating to advance is brilliant!"

Shen Qiqi raised her eyebrows proudly and said in a low voice, "That's right! To deal with such a taciturn person, you have to use some tricks." She paused and complained, "Why are we so unlucky? Not only did we end up in this godforsaken place, but we also married such a blockhead..."

"That's right!" Xu Jing also had a bitter face. "Mine is even weirder. He just laughs foolishly all day long, like a fool..."

The two were complaining when suddenly, Lu Qing came in with a processed rabbit and interrupted their conversation.

He placed the rabbit on the stove, looked at Shen Qiqi deeply, and opened his thin lips slightly: "Okay."

Xu Jing was listening with great interest when she was suddenly startled by Shen Qiqi's delicate voice. The wooden stick she was adding firewood to fell into the stove with a "click", splashing sparks.

When Lu Qing heard the noise, his body stiffened suddenly and the kitchen knife in his hand almost cut his fingers.

He frowned, turned around and looked at Shen Qiqi, with a hint of helplessness in his tone: "Speak properly."

Xu Jing was trying to hold back her laughter so hard that her shoulders were shaking. She mocked him mercilessly, "Qiqi, you're pretending to be so weak too much. You almost got me killed." Shen Qiqi's pretty face flushed. She glared at Xu Jing fiercely, then secretly glanced at Lu Qing and found that he was not angry. He just turned around silently and continued to cut the meat.

She secretly breathed a sigh of relief, but couldn't help muttering in her heart: This man is really a blockhead, he has no sense of humor at all.

Lu Qing's movements in cutting meat were neat and tidy, his muscles tensed and relaxed as his arms moved. Shen Qiqi's eyes couldn't help but fall on his sturdy arms, and she secretly admired in her heart: What a good figure, wow, it's really good!

She nodded with satisfaction, as if admiring a fine work of art.

“Qiqi, the pot… is burnt.” Lu Qing’s voice suddenly rang out, interrupting Shen Qiqi’s thoughts.

When Shen Qiqi heard that the pot was burnt, she panicked and no longer cared about admiring the handsome man. She hurried to the stove and lifted the lid of the pot. The pot was fine, so how could there be any burnt smell?

She finally realized that she had been fooled by Lu Qing. She couldn't help but feel ashamed and annoyed. She glared at him fiercely: "You lied to me!"

Lu Qing just smiled faintly, without any explanation, and continued to cut his meat, as if the prank just now had nothing to do with him.

Shen Qiqi returned to the stove angrily, and secretly swore in her heart that she must find an opportunity to take revenge!

As the aroma of the food gradually spread, the Lu family members came to the kitchen one after another.

Shen Qiqi and Xu Jing's eyes fell on the Lu family's fifth child's girlfriend - Long Fengjiao.

Long Fengjiao was wearing a washed-out floral dress and had two pigtails. She looked pretty, but there was a hint of sadness between her brows.

"Why does he look so familiar?" Shen Qiqi muttered softly. She felt like she had seen this face somewhere, but she couldn't remember where.

Xu Jing frowned slightly and looked at Long Fengjiao with complicated eyes.

In the original book, this seemingly weak woman is actually a scheming woman who ultimately destroys the Lu family...

The atmosphere is subtle and undercurrents are surging.

"Dinner is ready!" The old lady from the Lu family shouted, breaking the eerie silence.

Lu Qing served the meal and handed it to Shen Qiqi, but saw that she was staring at Long Fengjiao in a trance.

He followed her gaze, his brows furrowed slightly, "What's wrong?"

Shen Qiqi retracted her gaze and shook her head: "Nothing."

However, I'm afraid this meal won't be that easy to finish...

Everyone sat around the mottled wooden table, the aroma of food filled the air, but it could not cover up the undercurrent of the atmosphere.

Shen Qiqi and Xu Jing's bowls and chopsticks were placed on the table, but far away from the meat and steamed buns, as if they were deliberately isolated.

The plump and soft steamed buns exude an enticing wheat aroma, and the braised rabbit meat is shiny and fragrant, seeming out of reach.

When dividing the eggs, the old lady of the Lu family trembled as she picked up the only two eggs and gave them to Lu Qing and the second son of the Lu family respectively, without paying any attention to Shen Qiqi and Xu Jing.
