It will take time for the news to reach the capital, so things should remain peaceful for now.
Fang Xiyue spent her days eating, drinking, and having fun with her three husbands, and her life was very smooth.
After their village became Black Cloud Village, several villagers who liked business opened shops in the city, selling grains, vegetables, and other products produced in the village. Business was booming.
In addition, they were all highly skilled in martial arts, and those who came looking for trouble were all driven away. Of course, they would beat up those who were maliciously causing trouble, but they would not shirk their responsibilities if there was a real problem.
That's why people are more willing to buy their products, and business is getting better and better. The most important thing in doing business is reputation, which they know.
The reason their village is able to grow vegetables after winter is because they built greenhouses. There is a hot spring in the mountains, and the greenhouses are built next to the hot spring.
The greenhouse is filled with shelves and troughs made by carpenters. The troughs are placed on the shelves, and soil is placed inside for planting. Many wealthy businessmen come to buy them, so there is no worry about selling them.
Another wealthy merchant came to make purchases that day. Usually, this matter was left to Zhao Kuo to handle, but today he rushed over in a hurry.
"What's wrong?" Fang Xiyue was being served grapes and had her shoulders and legs massaged by her three husbands when she saw Zhao Kuo in such a hurry and thought someone had come to cause trouble.
“Boss, the young master Chu who just came to buy vegetables is very handsome, just as good-looking as your husbands. I thought you would be very interested, so I came to tell you.”
Zhao Kuo has now developed the habit of judging men by their looks first, mainly because he thinks that their boss would be very happy if he saw a good-looking man.
My eldest daughter hasn't been in a good mood lately. According to Dr. Ye, it's because of her pregnancy. She'll feel better if she does something she enjoys.
Zhao Kuo thought that their boss liked handsome men, so why not take a look when these handsome men were being offered to them? They weren't bandits anymore and couldn't forcibly abduct men, but they could still take a look.
"Really?" Fang Xiyue, who had been slumped over, suddenly stood up. Although she was heavy, she was still quite agile.
She didn't feel anything was wrong, but her husbands were almost scared to death. They were worried that she would hurt her back if she suddenly stood up with such a big belly.
The three glared angrily at Zhao Kuo. Was this guy just there to cause them trouble? He even introduced a handsome man to Yueyue.
Now that Yueyue knows, there's nothing that can be done to stop it. Sigh, I need to find some time to talk to Zhao Kuo.
When the group arrived at the front, Fang Xiyue secretly peeked through the door frame, unaware that her large pregnant belly was completely exposed.
Fang Xiyue saw Chu Gongzi's appearance, and her heart pounded wildly. Zhao Kuo really hadn't lied to her; his looks were truly captivating. She straightened her clothes and smoothed her hair.
The three people following behind, including Gong Yunxiao, felt like they were about to vomit blood. The person they had been longing for was about to flirt with another man right in front of them. This feeling was too humiliating.
Sitting in the hall, Chu Xingyan frowned slightly when he saw the large pregnant belly over there. He had never seen such a big belly before. She was probably about to give birth. He wondered what she was trying to do by peeking at him from there.
Seeing that Fang Xiyue's expression was very satisfied, Zhao Kuo quickly helped her into the hall. "Young Master Chu, this is our village chief, Village Chief Fang. Village Chief, this is Young Master Chu who has come to buy vegetables."
Zhao Kuo gave a brief introduction to both sides and then made an excuse to leave. Gong Yunxiao and the other two stood behind, eavesdropping. They had wanted to follow, but Fang Xiyue pushed them back. *sobs*
Chu Xingyan stared blankly at Fang Xiyue's face. He hadn't expected that the village chief was a woman, and such a beautiful one at that.
Her looks would be top-tier even in the capital. Luckily, she was born in this ordinary place, otherwise she would definitely have attracted the attention of young masters from various noble families.
He was lucky to see her, but seeing her protruding belly, he knew she was already married; he was too late.
Fang Xiyue was also looking at Chu Xingyan. He looked even more handsome up close. Sigh, my heart can't take it. But for now, I can only look and satisfy my craving. She already has four husbands. Adding more would be too greedy.
It's all Yunxiao's fault. Why did he have to add Nanxuan's name? He left and never came back, so he definitely didn't intend to be with me. It would have been better to leave this spot. Sigh.
However, Fang Xiyue wronged Gong Yunxiao. In fact, Nanxuan told Gong Yunxiao that he would definitely come back to find Fang Xiyue and that he would not let go. That's why Gong Yunxiao reserved a spot for him.
The two stared at each other for a long time before they looked away when children ran past laughing outside. Both of them blushed to varying degrees.
"How many vegetables does that young master Chu want to order?" Fang Xiyue asked.
"Ah, very beautiful." As soon as Chu Xingyan finished speaking, he wanted to slap himself. He had actually flirted with a pregnant woman. "Village Chief Fang, I'm sorry, I'm not that kind of person..."
"Pfft, I know I'm beautiful. Young Master Chu, there's no need to apologize. I also think you're very handsome. If I didn't already have four husbands, I would really like to marry you."
Fang Xiyue doesn't mince words, so she says whatever comes to mind.
"Four husbands?" Chu Xingyan immediately grasped the key point.
"Yes, I am a female household, but I have taken in four sons-in-law. If men can have three wives and four concubines, so can I. Does Young Master Chu think I am unconventional?"
Fang Xiyue asked very seriously. She didn't want to be told that if he said that, she wouldn't look at him anymore, no matter how handsome he was.
"No, I think Village Chief Fang is very capable. Many men can't do it, but Village Chief Fang dares to do it. He became the village chief at a young age and led the whole village to prosperity, which shows his ability."
Chu Xingyan quickly explained that he didn't mean to look down on Fang Xiyue. He just suddenly felt that he might have a chance, but he didn't know how to bring it up.
"Thank you for the compliment. Since Young Master Chu appreciates me so much, would you like to become my fifth husband?"
Fang Xiyue asked with a smile, "It won't kill me to ask whether it will work or not. If it works, I'll make a profit; if it doesn't, I won't lose anything."
"Huh? Huh? I, I, I..." Chu Xingyan felt that he must be hallucinating. Was it because he was thinking too much that he had transformed Fang Xiyue's words into his own thoughts?
“It seems that Young Master Chu is unwilling. Well then, I’m not one to force people to do things against their will. Please give Zhao Kuo the list of the dishes you wish to purchase. He will arrange for someone to prepare them. I’m a little tired, so I’ll go back and rest first.”
Fang Xiyue stood up. Since it wasn't going to work out, there was no need to waste any more time. She had already had her fill of handsome men and could leave now.
When Gong Yunxiao and the others heard that the two had not succeeded, they happily came out from behind, nodded to Chu Xingyan in greeting, and then helped Fang Xiyue away, afraid that it would be too late if they were late.
