"Jinshu, drink this bowl of lotus seed soup."
A gentle voice sounded in Yu Jinshu's ears. She shuddered and suddenly opened her eyes.
It was a simple thatched house, and she was sitting on a stone chair at the door of the house, with her elbows on the stone table, her palms supporting her cheeks, and she was taking a nap.
There is a handsome man in front of me.
Although the man was wearing a patched robe, it could not hide his elegant and noble demeanor.
A memory flooded into Yu Jinshu's mind, and he understood.
This man was her husband, whom she had married for only three days. His name was Zhou Zheng.
Zhou Zheng was originally the son of a prominent family in the capital. Not long ago, his father offended the royal family and his family was confiscated and exterminated. He met the original owner while fleeing.
The original owner fell in love with Zhou Zheng at first sight and took him in.
The two got married three days ago, but Zhou Zheng used the excuse of having a stomachache to avoid having sex.
At this moment, Yu Jinshu only felt fortunate that she did not share a room with this scumbag, otherwise she would feel sick just thinking about it.
Zhou Zheng's stomachache was fake. He met a Taoist priest the day before his wedding.
The Taoist said that he had the potential to become an immortal, but if he wanted to follow the path of immortality, he had to cut off all worldly ties.
Cultivating immortality is the ultimate dream of everyone in this world, including Zhou Zheng.
When he heard that he had the potential to become an immortal, he was naturally very happy.
He was once a son of a noble family, so honorable, but now he has fallen to this point and become a son-in-law of a village woman.
Given the current situation, only cultivating immortality can allow him to regain his honor.
But the Taoist priest asked him to cut off his love and kill his wife to prove his truth.
Zhou Zheng hesitated.
The Taoist priest asked him to go back and think about it carefully.
The next day, Zhou Zheng and the original owner got married as scheduled, and it was not until today that Yu Jinshu was reincarnated.
Zhou Zheng made up his mind early this morning that he would kill his wife to prove his faith.
And this bowl of lotus seed soup contains rat poison.
"Jinshu, eat it while it's hot." Zhou Zheng sat in front of Yu Jinshu and scooped a spoonful of soup to her mouth with a small wooden spoon.
Yu Jinshu looked at Zhou Zheng with pretended affection, "Zhenglang, I'm not hungry. You can have this soup."
Zhou Zheng didn't dare meet her gaze, his eyes fixed on the small wooden spoon. "I made this especially for you. I just picked these lotus seeds from the lotus pond. They're so fresh."
Yu Jinshu raised her hand, took the bowl and the small wooden spoon from his hand, and fed the small wooden spoon to his mouth. "On our wedding day, the elders told me that women should obey their husbands. The husband is the most important and comes first in everything. My husband must drink this bowl of soup first, and then I will drink it."
Zhou Zheng's face flushed with anxiety. "My stomach has been feeling uncomfortable these past few days, so I don't really feel like drinking this soup."
Yu Jinshu smiled brightly: "Then just take a small sip and pretend."
She put the small wooden spoon to Zhou Zheng's mouth, but Zhou Zheng closed his mouth.
"What's wrong? Zheng Lang."
Zhou Zheng moved his mouth away and said, "I, I really have a stomachache and can't eat."
Yu Jinshu smiled and put the bowl on the stone table, "Husband is the sky, husband comes first, if you don't drink, I won't drink either."
Zhou Zheng looked at his wife, thinking about what the Taoist had said about killing his wife to prove his faith. He was so anxious that his face turned angry. "It's rare for me to make soup for you. Why don't you appreciate it?"
Yu Jinshu looked at him with feigned ignorance: "Zhenglang, what's wrong with you? I'm just following the Three Obediences and Four Virtues, putting my husband first. Why are you so angry?"
Zhou Zheng glared at her: "My husband told you to drink first, so drink first."
Yu Jinshu also glared at him: "If my husband doesn't drink, I won't drink either." She had a very stubborn expression.
Zhou Zheng was furious: "It's unreasonable!" After saying that, he flicked his sleeves and was about to leave. But after taking a few steps, he turned around and looked at the bowl of soup on the stone table, and felt very unwilling.
He spent the last few cents on this rat poison.
She just said something and only let him take a small sip.
Otherwise, he could just take a small sip and spit it out, which shouldn't harm his body.
He walked back to the stone table, forced a gentle smile on his face, squatted in front of Yu Jinshu, and said with a smile: "Okay, then I will have a small sip, and you can finish this soup."
Yu Jinshu smiled and nodded: "Okay!"
She picked up the bowl, picked up the small wooden spoon, scooped a full spoonful of lotus seed soup, and fed it to Zhou Zheng's mouth.
But Zhou Zheng didn't swallow it. He stood up and wanted to spit it out.
Yu Jinshu quickly stood up as well, stepped forward and covered Zhou Zheng's mouth with his hands, "Zhenglang, don't make a sound, I think I saw someone from the imperial court."
When Zhou Zheng heard that they were from the imperial court, his eyes widened in shock. Because Yu Jinshu covered his mouth, the small mouthful of poisonous soup in his mouth slipped into his throat.
This made him very nervous.
On the one hand, the people in the court were panicked, and on the other hand, he was panicked because he actually swallowed the soup.
Seeing that he had swallowed it, Yu Jinshu released his mouth and said, "Zhenglang, I was mistaken. That is not someone from the imperial court."
She pointed to several people on the road ahead, all of whom were carrying hoes. They were villagers.
Zhou Zheng breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that the person was not from the imperial court, but when he remembered the soup he had just swallowed, he quickly dug his throat and began to vomit.
But I vomited for a long time but couldn't vomit.
Yu Jinshu pretended to be concerned and patted Zhou Zheng on the back, "What's wrong, Zhenglang?"
Seeing that he couldn't vomit, Zhou Zheng thought that he had only taken a small sip and thought it must be nothing, so he stood up.
He was still thinking about his wife drinking the full bowl of soup.
"Jinshu, go drink that bowl of soup."
Yu Jinshu looked at his pale face and shook his head: "I see you feel uncomfortable after just one bite. I'd better not eat anymore."
Seeing that she didn't eat, Zhou Zheng felt his head explode with anger. He grabbed her thin shoulders and said, "You must eat. You must eat."
