Chapter 93: This man is probably a white-collar black, right?

I guess you have already become aware enough, right?

Early the next morning.

After waking up, Xia Juanjuan did not dare to open her eyes immediately. Instead, she mumbled to and fro for a long time, making sure that there was no one lying next to her and that Li Zhan had gotten up before she dared to open her eyes.

As a result, Li Zhan was not lying on the bed, but sitting at the head of the bed, waiting for her to wake up!

"Awake? Don't get up. I made some millet porridge and two scallion pancakes. I'll bring them over and you can eat them in bed."

Xia Juanjuan: “…”

It seemed that the last time she went to Beijing, Lizhan also got up early in the morning and went to the cafeteria to get breakfast for her.

As a daughter-in-law in the 1970s, she seems quite unqualified.

However, as a person who traveled through time from the modern era, Xia Juanjuan did not feel too guilty. She just blushed and said "hmm", but did not refuse.

While Lizhan went to the kitchen, Xia Juanjuan quickly lifted the quilt and took a look. Hmm... just as she thought, her clothes were not put on yet.

It would have been even more embarrassing if she hadn't refused and rushed to get out of bed to go to the kitchen...

I quickly put on my slant-collared cotton jacket and had just buttoned it when Lizhan came in with breakfast.

White sweet potato cubes are cooked in the orange millet porridge, and the scallion pancakes are orange, crispy, and steaming, emitting bursts of aroma.

In addition, there was a dish of pickled cucumber and spicy pickled cabbage, as well as a serving of stir-fried cabbage with bacon.

The pickled cucumbers were probably from Liubiju that she brought back from her trip to Beijing, and the pickled spicy cabbage was pickled earlier in the winter and placed in a large pot on the ground outside the front eaves. The bacon was probably the braised pork hanging from the eaves.

Hmm... She's really not shy. In the time it takes to make breakfast, I've already figured out everything in her room...

After thinking about it, I couldn't help laughing. This is someone's home, why should I feel unfamiliar with it?

"Do you want me to feed you?" Lizhan asked softly, worried that her body had not recovered yet.

Xia Juanjuan blushed and shook her head vigorously, saying, "No, no need! I'll eat it myself!" Then she said, "What about you? You probably haven't eaten yet, right? Come and eat together!"

Li Zhan had indeed not eaten yet, so he went to the kitchen and got a bowl of millet porridge, then pulled a stool to the bedside and sat down. The two of them ate without saying a word for a while.

Fierce fighting is a professional habit. I was unable to take care of the house last night, but I got up early this morning and checked the house and yard inside and out, which is also the basic part of investigation.

I felt relieved when I saw that there was enough flour, coarse grain, meat and vegetables in the house.

Although he gave the allowance to Xia Juanjuan, people in the countryside were used to being frugal, so he was afraid that she would not dare to spend it, so he saved it all.

After eating for a while, Xia Juanjuan suddenly remembered that she hadn't seen the three kids this morning! What a mother, she just remembered that the three kids were not here. If they met bad guys, they would have run away long ago!

"Where are the three little ones?"

Li Zhan replied, "I asked my third sister-in-law to help take care of him overnight. He is still at her house."

Hearing this, Xia Juanjuan felt relieved. After hesitating for a moment, she asked softly, "What happened last night? Why were you at home?"

When she woke up in the middle of the night, she had decided to treat it as sleepwalking, so she had to make up a more convincing lie...

Moreover, her memory only reached the point where she was bewildered in the woods. She was not sure whether she was rescued by Lizhan, how she got home, or why she slept in Lizhan's arms with her clothes ripped off for the whole night. She could only ask tentatively.

The only thing that was certain was that neither the assailant who ambushed her nor Li Zhan actually touched her.

After all, although she had no experience before traveling through time, had she not eaten pork, had she not seen a pig run?

If she was really forced to do that, the feeling in her body would definitely be different from what it is now.

Li Zhan raised his eyes and glanced at her, without hiding anything, and said directly:

"On the way back, I found you in the woods. You were almost frozen and unconscious, so I quickly carried you home. My third sister-in-law and third brother also helped. They gave you a hot bath and wrapped you in a quilt to restore your body temperature..."

He omitted the fact that Xia Juanjuan was disheveled when he met her, for fear that if he told the truth it would create a rift between them.

Anyway, he didn't doubt her at all, so there was no need to say anything.

He also omitted the fact that he held her in his arms and used his body temperature to warm her up. This was mainly because Xia Juanjuan pretended to have amnesia and refused to mention that she woke up last night and bit him, fearing that she would be even more embarrassed if he told her...

It turned out that Li Zhan saved him.

But from what he said, when he found himself, the person who attacked him had already left, and Li Zhan did not encounter him.

Who was that person? She only remembered that the voice was familiar, but she couldn't remember whose voice it was.

Also... should I tell Lizhan about the time I was attacked by a man?

Not to mention this era, even in the modern society where she originally lived,

You told your husband that you were attacked and bewitched by a man. You were dragged into the woods, but nothing happened. You are still innocent...

Xia Juanjuan admitted that there are men who are generous and absolutely trust their wives, but most men would still feel resentful, right?

She was a little irritated, and inexplicably didn't want to fight the man who doubted her.

But...if she said it out loud, and Li Zhan doubted her and felt resentful of her, then she would be able to see through a person sooner.

At that time, it would be the most efficient and decisive way to get a divorce and part ways.

Thinking of this, Xia Juanjuan raised her head, stared at Lizhan without blinking, and asked, "When you rescued me, did you see anyone there? I was ambushed by a masked man, who made me inhale some potion and then dragged me into the grove..."

Now it was Lizhan's turn to be stunned. He didn't expect that his wife would be so frank in talking about the attack.

To be dragged into the grove by a man, whether voluntarily or by force, is fatal to a woman's reputation.

Rumors don’t care whether they are true or false; even false things can be exaggerated to make them true.

Lizhan had actually prepared himself mentally that Xia Juanjuan would lie to him and keep it a secret from him for the rest of his life.

However……

Li Zhan's obsidian eyes sparkled brightly, yet were filled with infinite tenderness and admiration.

His wife is indeed different from other women!

Restraining the impulse in his chest, Lizhan shook his head and said, "No. The only traces found at the scene were that you were dragged into the woods, and a set of male footprints walking out of the woods..."

Xia Juanjuan: “…”

This……

Fortunately, she didn't hide it and asked directly.

It turns out that Li Zhan had already guessed the general situation based on the situation at the scene!

If she really lied, isn't that just covering one's ears and stealing the bell?

Besides, this man is probably a white-and-black person, right?

No key information was revealed at all. Isn't this setting a trap for her to see whether she will jump into it or not?
