Logically speaking, there's no reason why Liu Muchen would be interested in him.

Besides, didn't people in ancient times have a deep-seated concept of social class?

Although the two elderly people were kind, could they really disregard worldly opinions and let a widow with a family like her into the house?

Not to mention Lin Xue, who has been having doubts these past few days, even Li Dagui's three sons and He Ahui's sister-in-law couldn't help but have their own doubts.

It's understandable that they took care of each other on the way to escape famine, but now they have all safely reached their destination.

Simple care would be fine, but now that old man Liu is acting so obsequiously, hanging around their mother-in-law every day, that's a bit strange.

With this idea in mind, the children became even more convinced of their thoughts as they observed Lin Xue and Liu Muchen interacting.

After arriving in Liuzhou, they only needed to ask a few questions to learn everything about Liu Muchen's family situation.

Because men like Master Liu, who are not interested in women, are truly rare.

How could it not be talked about by everyone?

However, the Li family has remained silent on this matter for the time being.

Since settling down, Lin Xue has been very busy, tending to the estate in the suburbs.

Busy running a shop in the city to make a living for her sons!

She didn't have to worry much about business because Liu Muchen was involved, but she had to take care of the estate herself.

After all, those newly cultivated grain varieties cannot be left to others.

Even if one wants to improve the basic needs of ordinary people in this era, one still needs to make a profit first.

The grain seeds definitely need to be promoted, but we must first fill our own pockets!

Lin Xue felt that she was just an ordinary person who, when poor, would do her own good and when successful, would help others.

If she wants to benefit all under heaven, she must first make herself wealthy.

Time flies, and three years have passed in the blink of an eye.

Aside from going out on business, Liu Muchen either stayed at Lin Xue's place.

Although everyone could see what Liu Muchen was thinking, it was a pity that this coward hadn't actually taken any action.

Everyone was worried about their situation, except for the two of them themselves.

The guards had all started their own families, and during holidays they would bring their families to Lin Xue's estate to celebrate together.

Liu Zhi stayed by Lin Xue's side even longer than the three eldest sons of the Li family.

Even after getting married, he continued to live with Lin Xue on the estate with his wife, and hardly listened to Liu Muchen anymore.

Aside from the initial robbery, the young guard is now more interested in farming.

In addition to the snack shop she co-owned with Liu Taozi, He Ahui later opened a clothing store and a cosmetics shop, respectively.

Having their own business, the two sisters-in-law simply hired a manager to help them run their snack shop.

The two of them devoted themselves wholeheartedly to their careers.

Li Dagui bought a piece of land outside Liuzhou City, next to Lin Xue's estate.

A brick and tile factory was built specifically for this purpose. Lin Xue provided the construction technology, and after it was completed, she left it to Li Dagui to manage.

Li Ergui bought several hilltops specifically for breeding: chickens, ducks, fish, shrimp, pigs, cattle, sheep, and deer!

A lot of wasteland was reclaimed at the foot of the mountain to grow fodder for livestock.

Because Liu Taozi is newly pregnant, she's been traveling back and forth between the city and the countryside. If it weren't for the health issues these two people have, they would have had a child long ago.

After so much treatment, Liu Taozi finally got pregnant. How could Li Ergui not be nervous?

In the second year after Li Sangui arrived in Liuzhou, he married the daughter of the headmaster of Liulin Academy in the city.

The reason they got together was because of a flower thief incident.

Liu Sangui happened to rescue Miss Ruan, who had been kidnapped by a womanizer.

Later, the two somehow fell in love, and after Lin Xue donated a large number of books, they got married.

Now, the third noblewoman is six months pregnant and will give birth in half a month.

Over the years, Liu Yiru has grown increasingly close to Lin Xue, and he often joins Liu Zhi and the others in calling Lin Xue "godmother."

His wives and concubines in his house bore him three sons and five daughters.

The Liu family was thus freed from the curse of having only one son per generation for three generations.

Because of Li Sangui, Li Shun successfully entered Liulin Academy to study.

Li Zhen learns to read and write, as well as embroidery and business skills, from a tutor hired by her family every day.

The amount of learning he did was even greater than that of Li Shun!

Lin Xue opened a grain shop in the city, specializing in selling the grains she grew herself.

Her grain shop was different from others; it limited its supply each day, and once it was sold out, that was it!

According to Lin Xue, she has so many sons, and they are all filial.

As long as you earn enough to eat and drink and don't hold your children back, there's no need to exhaust yourself.

Recently, however, a handsome man has appeared in Lin Xue's life.

This infuriated Liu Muchen. He abandoned his family business and followed them around all day, afraid that Lin Xue would be lured away by this pretty boy.

"Ah Xue, that pretty boy is up to no good!"

"Look at the calluses on her hands, it's obvious she's been wielding a sword for years. How could you believe he was a failed scholar?"

Liu Muchen wanted to tear this pretty boy to shreds; he had never seen such a shameless person.

He and Xue had rescued this person together, but the other person had become attached to Xue and ignored his existence.

He even found various excuses to get close to Ah Xue, and used his calloused, dirty hands to hold Ah Xue's hand.

He also always spoke ill of him in front of his daughter, Ah Xue.

This pretty boy is practically a green tea b*tch. I first heard Lin Xue use the term "green tea" before.

Back then, Ah Xue would always complain to him, wondering if men really couldn't see through the tricks of "green tea" girls!

But now this pretty boy is using green tea tactics on his Ah Xue, so why can't his Ah Xue see through it?

"Master Liu, I'm still here! When you're talking badly about me, can't you at least do it in private!"

Wang Baoyu clenched her fists; she really wanted to punch this stinky man in the face a few times.

It was one thing if they didn't treat her like a woman before, but now that she was only dressed in men's clothing and hadn't even put on makeup, this person still didn't recognize her.

They even slandered her in front of her!

No wonder her son said that this person was like a stone in a latrine, knowing nine orifices about matters between men and women, but only one orifice was completely ignorant.

If it weren't for the fact that he had a son with this man, Wang Baoyu would have thought that Liu Muchen was truly impotent.

If it weren't for the letters from her son and the two elderly people, Wang Baoyu really wouldn't have bothered coming back to deal with this mess.

Such a lovely young woman, and all this guy does is stare at her all day, but he never makes a move.

No wonder her son wrote that everyone except his father was anxious and worried.

She's only been back for two days, and she looks really stressed, doesn't she?

No, no, if we don't give this guy a little push, he probably won't take any action.

Wang Baoyu loosened her clenched fist, and a mischievous smile appeared at the corner of her eye, clearly indicating that she was harboring a wicked plan.
