"Li Ge, why are you here?"
Hua Qingcheng, who was sitting at the top, saw Mu Lige coming and hurriedly stood up from her seat and helped him walk to the chair on her left and sit down.
"Why don't you go inside and rest?"
Seeing a little sweat on Mu Lige's forehead, Hua Qingcheng wiped it for him with her sleeve.
"It's a bit boring staying in the house alone, and my father and the others don't let me do needlework. I heard that there were distinguished guests coming, so I came to see. My wife, you...you won't blame me for not knowing etiquette, right?"
Mu Lige's face was filled with sorrow. However, when he caught a glimpse of the lonely look on the stranger's face in the guest seat below, he slowly withdrew his gaze.
In the past, Mu Lige disdained to engage in the intrigues of the harem like other women, but that didn't mean he couldn't do it. Experience and lessons taught him that if he indulged himself too much, he would let his wife's heart become wild.
Although the third brother likes to stick to the young wife like a dog-skin plaster, he has indeed received the young wife's sincere treatment, which shows that it is quite necessary to show your presence at the right time.
Moreover, Mu Lige could sense that the young wife's love for his third brother was probably no less than hers. However, since his brothers all had a good relationship with him, he could allow them to be affectionate with the young wife, but not outsiders.
"Li Ge, what are you talking about? You are my legal husband. There is no place in this house where you cannot go. I am just worried that it will be too tiring for you to walk around."
Hua Qingcheng feigned anger and gently pinched Mu Lige's face. She heard that pregnant men tend to be sentimental. It seemed she should spend more time with her brother Li to prevent him from having undue thoughts.
"Miss Qingcheng, who... who is this person?"
Pei Zijun stared in astonishment at the harmonious couple at the top, but he felt a sense of resignation. Since Hua Qingcheng had previously admitted that the jade pendant was hers, then why would she marry someone else if she knew she already had a fiancé?
"Sorry, I forgot to introduce you. Mr. Pei, this is my husband, Mu Lige."
Hua Qingcheng brushed away the hair that fell on Mu Lige's shoulders, then returned to her seat and introduced her husband to the guests.
"You...you're married?"
Although he already knew what was going on, Pei Zijun still felt heartbroken when he heard the other party admit it with his own ears.
"I'm already sixteen, well past the Emperor's decree that men must marry at fifteen. Is it strange that I'm already married?" Hua Qingcheng looked at Pei Zijun below in confusion. As a stranger, he was meddling too much, wasn't he?
"But...but, in this case, what about the person you were betrothed to?" Pei Zijun looked at the woman he fell in love with at first sight with great sadness.
Mu Lige, who was sitting on the right side of the upper seat, looked at Pei Zijun with a look of scrutiny after hearing what he said.
Hua Qingcheng: ...
(Hey stranger, do you live by the sea? Why are you being so nosy?)
"Although I don't know how you knew I had someone I had arranged to marry, it's just a matter of fate, isn't there anything we can do about it? This is the only way. Do I have to divorce Brother Li, or make him my mistress? That's impossible."
(Mu Lige: I seriously doubt you two are talking about the same thing...)
Hua Qingcheng glanced at Mu Lige beside her, but saw that he was calmly drinking the calming tea prepared for him by Han Yichen. Seeing that he was not angry, Hua Qingcheng felt slightly relieved.
When Hua Qingcheng thought about the marriage that Feng Lingyan and Meng Lishi had arranged for her and Si Chengfeng, she could only sigh at the cruel fate. However, everything has a first come first served basis, and since Mu Lige had entered her heart first, she could only let Si Chengfeng be her fifth husband.
From brother?
She actually calls her husband brother?
Pei Zijun's mind suddenly flashed with the image of Hua Qingcheng, looking gentle and considerate, hugging him, and calling him "Brother Zijun"...
The Pei family of Beijing lives in a manor in the suburbs.
Hua Qingcheng: "Brother Zijun, how about we go horseback riding today?"
Looking at the beautiful woman riding a white horse with a heroic demeanor, Pei Zijun said shyly: "But... I can't."
"How difficult is that? Let me, your sister, teach Brother Zijun."
Hua Qingcheng grabbed Pei Zijun's strong waist, picked him up by the waist, and used light skills to fly him onto the horse.
"Brother Zijun, hold me fast, I want to make the horse run!"
Hua Qingcheng, who was sitting in the front, turned around and kissed Pei Zijun on the side of his face, then pulled his hands over and wrapped them around her slender waist. Then Hua Qingcheng pulled the reins and took Pei Zijun on a gallop across the wide grassland.
No! Hua Qingcheng comes from the countryside, so she shouldn't understand these things. Then...
On a rainy night, in a thatched hut that was leaking either from the east or the west.
"Brother Zijun, hurry up, it's leaking here too! Hurry and get the seventh child's potty over here to collect the water. The potties of the eldest, second, third, fourth, fifth, and sixth children are all full of water. We have to empty them one by one."
"Qingcheng, Ba Wa is making a lot of noise in my stomach. I'm a little tired and don't want to move."
Pei Zijun, who was pregnant and wearing tattered clothes, lay on a creaking fir bed with black bedding, looking at Hua Qingcheng shyly, but she saw that she was holding a children's potty filled with rainwater in her hands.
"Ah, this brat! When he's born, I'm going to spank him for daring to mess with his dad like this!"
Hua Qingcheng looked at Pei Zijun with a distressed look on her face. She was about to free one hand to touch her brother Zijun's face, but she accidentally poured all the water in the potty onto Pei Zijun's handsome face.
