He reached out and touched his face.

Su Jiaoniang shook her head.

He may have time to be a snail seller now, but when things get busy, when there are matters in Qi, he becomes the busy and tall regent.

At that time, her snail-shaped friend went offline.

What to do!

A struggle flashed in Su Jiaoniang's eyes.

She even considered being a "bad girl"—this guy in front of her was good in terms of physique, looks, and status, and he was also considerate and attentive. She would be happy for a while, and once Qi got busy, she would immediately dump him and replace him with a "snail boy" (a term of endearment for a man who is easily manipulated).

Su Jiaoniang shook her head.

Although the life of a "bad girl" is very happy.

However, this contradicts the education she received.

She wants comfort, freedom, and being with someone who brings more joy than one person and less trouble than two, but such a person is hard to find.

Lu Wujiu folded the clothes, squatted down, and began to work on the kang (a heated brick bed).

Old Guo sneaked over and stared at the details of Lu Wujiu setting up the kang (a heated brick bed).

After reading it, he chuckled and used the remaining bricks and mud to build one for his own room, and of course, he didn't forget about Guo Guo and Guo Shu's rooms either.

Although the Chinese New Year is just around the corner.

But winter doesn't just leave after the New Year.

Furthermore, if there is winter this year, there will be winter next year too.

If you clean the kang (heated brick bed) carefully, it won't make the room dirty.

You can sleep very comfortably in the summer by placing a bamboo mat on your bed.

Old Guo said he really liked it.

Once the kang (heated brick bed) in the room is set up, dry firewood is immediately lit to dry out the moisture inside, otherwise one will feel uncomfortable sleeping at night.

Lu Wujiu finished setting up the kang (heated brick bed), washed his hands, and looked down at the open wound on his chest.

He walked over to Su Jiaoniang with the medicine and handed her the porcelain bottle, saying, "Thank you for your help."

Su Jiaoniang chuckled.

It's another case of feigning injury.

It seems this man has run out of tricks.

"Chang Sheng said you had a wife who died in Qi, and Lady Feng said you had no one there. What's going on?" Su Jiaoniang asked.

Lu Wujiu raised his eyes: "The original Gu Xizhou of Qi Kingdom married a princess. The princess did not die. She was promiscuous in the inner quarters and was sent to the mountains to cultivate. The reputation and honor of the Qi Kingdom royal family could not tolerate such a woman, so she was nominally dead." Lu Wujiu did not hide anything.

That happened a long time ago.

The one who was rumored to have passed away also became a lonely regent.

Therefore, Changsheng is right, and Lady Feng is also right.

"You care about this a lot?" Lu Wujiu's gaze fell on Su Jiaoniang.

Su Jiaoniang nodded: "I do care. What woman doesn't gossip?"

After Su Jiaoniang finished speaking, she began to treat Lu Wujiu's wounds.

Looking at the intricate knife wounds on his chest, his eyes stung with tears.

He carefully applied the medicine, re-bandaged the wound, and stared at it intently.

He reached out and gently poked it: "Is this a mark left from an injury sustained on the battlefield?"

“Yes!” Lu Wujiu chuckled.

These are scars, but also medals.

"Don't you find it strange to see yourself covered in wounds? These were left to protect the Great Zhou, but you are now the Regent of Qi. Don't you feel conflicted?"

"Are you starting to get interested in me?" Lu Wujiu put on his clothes.

Scars represent the past.

What we need to consider now is the future.

He stared at Su Jiaoniang: "Why not give it a try? If I fail to meet your expectations, then just abandon me."

"Are you confessing your feelings to me?" Su Jiaoniang asked in surprise.

She just wanted to be a seductive beauty.

She kept him hooked, made him toss and turn, made him restless and anxious, made him unable to sleep at night, and made him analyze every word she said.

However, things seem to be developing in a way that is not quite right now.

She hasn't hooked him yet.

Why should we consider whether or not to give it a try?

Staring at Lu Wujiu, he suddenly realized he had been tricked.

Su Jiaoniang was both amused and exasperated.

"Shall we give it a try?"

"Okay!" Lu Wujiu reached out and grabbed his clothes, putting them on. His usually straight figure was slightly bent at this moment.

He went back to his room.

Close the door.

Looking down at his inappropriate reaction, he laughed at himself for acting like a naive kid.

She's already in her twenties and has two kids.

But the way those fingers moved across the wound, the closeness of their breath, the allure and tenderness of the moment.

Su Jiaoniang opened the window, letting the outside breeze into the room to dispel the ambiguous atmosphere.

She saw Madam Feng carrying a food box and walking out.

He followed Madam Feng and asked, "Where are we going?"

"I'll visit my son, chat with him, and ask him if he wants to come with me. As for Rongzhen, he said he supports whatever I'm thinking."

As she spoke, a smile appeared on her lips. She didn't know if he truly supported her completely, but as long as the problem wasn't too serious, he would help her resolve it.

Seeing that Su Jiaoniang's neck was slightly red, she asked, "How are things between you and the Regent?"

"It's alright!" Su Jiaoniang said with a smile. She couldn't quite explain exactly how alright she was.

For the first time in both my past and present lives, I somehow ended up in a romantic relationship.

But for now, it doesn't feel too bad.

You can experience the beauty of life and the ups and downs of relationships.

After all, she's rich now and can afford to have free time.

If Lu Wujiu cannot meet her expectations for love.

If he dares to betray her in a relationship.

Then she'll be free to do as she pleases.

He kept a dozen or so beautiful male concubines.

She is served by different young men every day.

Enjoy the happiness that belongs to a rich woman.
