Chapter 8 My Wife is a Vixen 8
Ah Ning looked around the room with dissatisfaction, not understanding why she insisted on staying there, and she couldn't understand the love she kept talking about.
“I just saw your husband arguing with the villagers for your sake. He behaved better this time than before.”
His eyes lit up when he saw his sister, and he added, "But he's still a good-for-nothing."
"Sister, don't say that about him. He's very good to me." A-Yuan's face showed happiness: "He even cooked for me today. Oh, by the way."
"Since you're here today, please stay for dinner. His chicken is delicious; it's the best I've ever had."
"Perfect timing, let me introduce you two."
"No, I'm afraid I won't be able to resist killing him." Ah Ning said angrily, slamming her fist on the table, which instantly shattered.
"My father and mother said that humans are the most shameless creatures."
“Sister, he’s different.” A Ning held her hand.
Seeing her love-struck state, A Ning really couldn't understand: "He only cooked one meal and you're acting like this? It seems he's not that nice to you usually."
"If you really like him, just tie him up and take him up the mountain. Why do you have to stay here and suffer?"
A Yuan lowered her eyes, and her tail drooped down behind her: "I am a demon, and I am afraid that he cannot accept it."
"You're useless." Ah Ning couldn't stand her anymore.
As he turned to leave the courtyard, he looked back and said, "But the villagers already suspect you're a demon. Given how shameless humans are, what do you think they'll do to you?"
"What will happen if your man finds out the truth?"
Ah Yuan, leaning against the door frame, said dejectedly, "Sister, I understand."
"If he can't accept my true identity, I will immediately go up the mountain."
Ah Ning, exasperated, said, "Whatever."
After saying that, the person turned around and disappeared.
When Ji Huaizhi returned, he was surprised to see the things in the house. He looked up and found that the wooden table was also gone. After walking around, he found the broken table next to the stove, which had been turned into a fire stick.
"Husband." A-Yuan awkwardly touched her hair:
"This wooden table is old and somehow fell apart. Let's just use it for burning firewood and see when we can make a new one."
Ji Huaizhi gave a soft "hmm," not exposing her guilty conscience: "Did someone come over while I wasn't home?"
"Yes, an older sister from the household where I used to be a maid came to visit me, and she even brought us some things." A-Yuan pulled him to the side of the things: "So many?"
A-Yuan's expression was also one of surprise.
"Was she also a maid?" Ji Huaizhi squatted down and asked softly.
"Yes...yes."
Ji Huaizhi picked up a palm-sized gold lock and looked at her with a puzzled expression: "Does the maid have a lot of pay?"
Ah Yuan stared wide-eyed, then gave an awkward laugh: "It's probably because the reward money is quite large. Some generous masters often give rewards."
Then the man picked up some gold and silver jewelry and jade bracelets, swallowed hard, and said, "She's no longer a maid; she's been promoted to concubine, which is why she can send so many nice things over."
Ji Huaizhi couldn't help but chuckle: "You've elevated a concubine?"
He glanced at the fine cloth and saw that there were several pheasants and rabbits tied up with it: "I also brought your favorite chicken and rabbit."
"Hehe...yes, my sister loves me very much." A-Yuan smiled.
"Then why didn't you invite your sister to stay for a simple meal? After all, you sent so many things; it was really too much of a waste." Ji Huaizhi watched her act.
“It’s inconvenient for her.” A-Yuan turned around and thought of an excuse: “She’s already a concubine, it’s already very difficult for her to come out and see me.”
"So she needs to hurry back."
"Oh~" Ji Huaizhi didn't expose her: "Then thank you so much, sister. I must thank you properly when I have the chance."
“There’s a chance, there’s a chance.” Ah Yuan smiled, her eyes suddenly lighting up.
"When my sister came today, she brought a physician from the palace with her. She had the physician take my pulse and said that I am pregnant. Husband, we have a child."
Ji Huaizhi revealed a perfectly timed look of surprise.
Without exposing her flawed argument, he said, "That's wonderful. Then I won't have to do any housework from now on."
"Just rest well at home and take good care of yourself."
A-Yuan hesitated: "But we also need to make a living. It's okay that I'm pregnant. I'm in good health and can still do simple work."
After all, she's a demon, so she actually uses magic a lot for her work.
It doesn't tire her out at all.
"It's alright, my wife." Ji Huaizhi cupped her face in his hands. "My elder sister sent so much gold and silver jewelry; it's more than enough for our future life."
"With these, you can eat as much chicken as you want in the future."
A-Yuan smiled, revealing her cute tiger teeth: "That's great, I'll have my sister bring you more when we run out."
Seeing her innocent appearance, Ji Huaizhi couldn't help but rub her cheeks.
After Ah Yuan had a reaction, she was indeed unable to go out. She realized that she could no longer hide her ears and tail, so in order not to let her husband see them and scare him.
They used a magic trick on him to make him unable to see.
But in reality, Ji Huaizhi saw it all clearly.
Sometimes I can feel her tail rubbing against me.
Even when she is in a deep sleep at night, she can't help but reveal her true form, either lying in Ji Huaizhi's arms or on Ji Huaizhi's neck.
Every time he felt a furry touch, Ji Huaizhi's eyes would reveal helplessness.
The original owner probably just didn't pay much attention to her, or maybe she was just deceiving herself and couldn't believe it. Otherwise, there would be flaws everywhere. How could she not have noticed when they were together every day?
He reached out and scooped her up, unable to resist stroking her furry body.
Hmm, it feels quite comfortable.
Because A-Yuan rarely goes out, the rumors in the village seem to be getting worse.
They say she's a monster, a fox spirit reincarnated, and now that others know, she's afraid to show her face.
In particular, the aroma of meat wafting from their house every day made the neighborhood kids cry with envy. Who eats meat every day?
What's their family background?
At first, not many people believed it; they all thought it was just Gou Dan saying something in anger. But since Madam Ji hadn't left the house, she started to wonder if it was true.
Some people were skeptical, but they still dared not send their children to school.
Legends of monsters on Qingtai Mountain have been circulating every year.
Some people who went up the mountain to collect wild produce claimed to have seen monsters with human faces and animal bodies. Everyone preferred to believe it rather than not.
However, everyone is very scared.
They don't even allow the kids in the family to go to Ji Huaizhi's place anymore.
Ji Huaizhi also found peace and quiet, spending his days reading in his courtyard and teaching A Yuan to paint, living a very content life.
However, Shuzhuang often secretly came over to peek behind his mother's back. The villagers all said that his father was harmed by a monster, and now everyone said that the master's wife was a monster.
It must have been her fault.
He wanted to avenge his father.
