Lu Yanzhao didn't know when he fell asleep. When he woke up, it was already dawn, and Gu Nanjiao was still asleep next to him.

After quietly getting dressed, he slowly walked to the bedside and looked at Gu Nanjiao, who was fast asleep on the bed, with an unreadable emotion in his eyes.

When Gu Nanjiao woke up, she was startled to see a pair of dark, deep eyes. Lu Yanzhao had woken up at some point, dressed neatly, and was standing by the bed staring at her, seemingly lost in thought.

She was stunned for a moment and quickly sat up. The blanket slipped off her shoulders, revealing her long, snow-white neck. Lu Yanzhao's gaze couldn't help but move downwards, and when he saw the beautiful snow neck, his throat tightened.

Noticing Lu Yanzhao's gaze, Gu Nanjiao quickly wrapped herself tightly in the blanket and shouted at Lu Yanzhao, "Get out of here, I need to get dressed."

Lu Yanzhao stared at her for a while, then curled his lips into a sneer: "Flat and thin, nothing to see."

Gu Nanjiao...

Why can't he just quietly be a handsome and refined man? Why does he have to say such rude things?

Gu Nanjiao told herself not to get angry and not to stoop to his level, after all, she had said he was no good before.

The more you try to endure, the less you can endure; when you can no longer endure, there is no need to endure anymore.

Gu Nanjiao grabbed a soft pillow from the side and threw it at Lu Yanzhao.

"You say I'm flat and skinny, but you're no better, all show and no substance!"

Lu Yanzhao caught the soft pillow that was thrown at him, without reacting to Gu Nanjiao's words.

Gu Nanjiao was also stunned. Last time, she had only asked him if he was okay, and he was so sensitive that he seemed to have touched a sore spot and flew into a rage.

Did the pig kidneys really cure him?

Looking at Gu Nanjiao's flushed face, Lu Yanzhao's eyes flashed with a hint of amusement.

He slowly walked towards the bedside, bent down slightly, and brought his handsome face close to Gu Nanjiao's ear. His warm breath fell on Gu Nanjiao's neck and shoulders, and her ears gradually became hot.

Gu Nanjiao steadied herself and asked, her face flushed, "What...what do you want to do?"

Lu Yanzhao chuckled and placed the soft pillow in his hand on the headboard: "I'm just putting down the soft pillow."

"Otherwise, what do you think I want to do? Hmm?" Lu Yanzhao's tone was somewhat teasing, and the last "hmm" even carried a hint of doting, which was hard to discern unless you listened carefully.

Gu Nanjiao...

After Lu Yanzhao left, Gu Nanjiao looked down at her own body and sighed heavily.

Although the original owner was beautiful, her figure seemed to be underdeveloped, with neither a prominent bust nor a curvy bottom.

Come to think of it, the original owner was a year younger than Lu Yanzhao, only sixteen after the New Year, and hadn't even started menstruating yet. If she ate some good food to nourish herself, she would definitely have a hot body with a prominent bust and buttocks.

Gu Nanjiao was briefly saddened, but quickly recovered and got dressed and got up. In the morning, she was going to town with Lu's mother to sell spicy strips, and in the afternoon she was going to visit Jiaoniang Pavilion.

...

Li Shi, hiding behind the haystack, watched Gu Nanjiao and the others pull the cart away into the distance. She frowned and said to Lu Lao Er beside her, "Another pot has been added. I wonder what's in it?"

Lu Lao Er's face darkened upon hearing this: "It's all because you're useless. You didn't know how to build a good relationship with them, and you insisted on encouraging Yanping to do some petty theft. Now look what's happened, they've got a handle on you, and it's hard to get close to them now."

Li couldn't help but roll her eyes. They were outside, so it wasn't appropriate to argue with Lu Lao Er. She forced herself not to lose her temper.

The man in my family is not only lazy and good-for-nothing, but also utterly incompetent, cowardly by nature, and incapable of shouldering any responsibility. Father and son are alike. All they know how to do is vent their anger on their own family.

"Where did Yanping go? All he ever does is ask for money, I don't even know what he wants it for." Unable to vent her anger on Lu Lao Er, Li asked about Lu Yanping, who had disappeared this morning after asking for money.

At this moment, Lu Yanping was in the widow Yang's room, and the two were playfully fighting, their clothes disheveled.

Yang, whose real name was Yang Meiqin, was fair-skinned and beautiful, with a curvaceous figure. She lived at the east end of Hama Village. She was a wife bought by the bachelor Shi Laizi, but less than a year after he bought her, Shi Laizi fell seriously ill and died. Everyone in the village said that Yang had previously been involved in that kind of business, and that Shi Laizi must have contracted a sexually transmitted disease from her. The villagers despised Yang and wanted to spit on her whenever they saw her.

"Good Meiqin, let me kiss you one more time, just one more time." Lu Yanping pulled Yang Shi onto his lap, tugging at her collar as he kept bringing his mouth close to hers.

"How annoying!" Yang's charming voice rang out, and the two of them fell onto the bed with a mixture of resistance and resistance.

Immediately afterwards, indescribable sounds came.

Lu Yanping and Yang Shi embraced each other intimately, unwilling to part.

"Does your mother know about our affair?" Madam Yang asked in a seductive voice, tucking a stray strand of hair behind her ear.

Lu Yanping stiffened upon hearing this and said, "My mother has been in a bad mood these past few days, so I haven't had a chance to tell her yet."

Upon hearing this, Yang struggled to leave Lu Yanping's embrace, stood up, straightened her disheveled clothes, and sneered, "You said you would marry me, but you're no different from those other stinky men. I thought you were different."

“I’m different from them.” Lu Yanping quickly got up, put his arm around Yang’s waist, and kissed her on the cheek: “I really want to marry you.”

"It's just that I was tricked by Lu Yanzhao a few days ago, and my mother is furious, so I don't dare to mention it."

"You're very kind, I'll believe you this once." Madam Yang chuckled and gently tapped Lu Yanping's face.

She didn't believe these scoundrels' nonsense at all. They were all liars. In bed, every single one of them would say they wanted to marry her, but after it was over, they would be as silent as quails.

"By the way, last time you mentioned that Lu Yanzhao's wife had found a way to make money?" Madam Yang asked.

"Don't mention that bitch. I got beaten up by Lu Yanzhao with a sack over my head because of her." Mentioning it only fueled Lu Yanping's rage.

Yang tucked her hair behind her ears and said in a strained voice, "Lu Yanzhao... he wouldn't do such a thing!"

Mentioning Lu Yanzhao brought a pang of bitterness to Yang's heart. Which man in this village could escape Yang Meiqin's grasp? Yet that seemingly divine man remained unmoved by her advances.

Lu Yanping scoffed: "What? Is Lu Yanzhao so upright and honest in your eyes?"

Upon hearing this, Madam Yang twisted her slender waist, wrapped her arms around Lu Yanping's neck, and said in a seductive voice, "Oh dear, I only said that because you both have the surname Lu! If you ask me, Lu Yanzhao is your cousin, blood is thicker than water, he would never do such a cruel thing, it must have been Gu's bad idea."

Lu Yanping ignored Yang's words, coldly scoffing, "I bet you're completely bewitched by Lu Yanzhao's looks, actually speaking up for him. Why won't he even glance at you? I, your young master, dote on you so much."

"Oh, you're jealous now? Come on, since you love me so much, hurry up and give me the money." Lu Yanping's words hit Yang's sore spot, and she got a little annoyed, reaching out to ask Lu Yanping for money.

Lu Yanping took out some silver and waved it in front of Yang Shi: "I can't just give it to you like this," he said, and then pressed down on Yang Shi.

"You jerk, you're so annoying!"

Then something indescribable happened.
