At that moment, Jing Li thought he had heard it wrong.
The chopsticks he was holding were suspended in the air, and he looked up and blinked blankly.
Fang Tianying met his gaze and became confused: "What's wrong, sister-in-law?"
Jing Li: “…”
You heard it right.
The atmosphere suddenly became a little weird.
During the long silence, Qin Zhao was the only one who maintained an unchanging expression with extraordinary composure. He calmly picked up some food for Jing Li and said, "I'm calling you. Why are you daydreaming?"
"Call... call me..." Jing Li turned his head to look at him, a little confused.
Qin Zhao met his gaze and nodded sincerely and affirmatively: "Yes, I'm calling you."
Jing Li: “………………”
As if realizing something from Qin Zhao's words, Jing Li withdrew his gaze and said with difficulty through gritted teeth, "Thank you...thank you."
Fang Tianying looked at their reactions, pondered for a moment, and quickly realized, "Sister-in-law, are you still not used to it?"
"Ah?" Jing Li was confused by his question, "I... I didn't..."
"I understand. After all, they're newlyweds. You'll get used to it after a while." Fang Tianying interrupted him, his tone rather teasing. "If it weren't for my servants telling me, I wouldn't have known that Brother Qin had married a beautiful woman."
"...When I heard about it yesterday, I thought they were just being too arrogant. But when I saw her today, I realized she's truly stunning and a perfect match for Brother Qin."
Jing Li: “…”
If Jing Li was still a little confused just now, after Fang Tianying's words, he completely understood.
Does "husband" mean "wife"?
Is it still possible to marry a man in this era?
Jing Li had a lot of questions in his mind that he wanted to ask Qin Zhao, but now was really not the time.
Fang Tianying kept calling her "sister-in-law" so smoothly that Jing Li felt uncomfortable. He didn't explain anymore, just gave a vague response and buried his head in his food.
Qin Zhao turned his head and happened to see the other person's red ears.
The little guy is quite shy.
Fang Tianying wanted to make another joke, but was interrupted by Qin Zhao: "Young Master Fang..."
"Okay, okay, I won't say anything nonsense to save Brother Qin from feeling bad." Fang Tianying said with a casual smile, "Eat, eat."
Jing Li was distracted during the meal and found it particularly difficult to endure.
After finally finishing their meal, it was already noon. Fang Tianying was afraid that the sun would be too hot and they would not be able to walk back, so he specially called an ox cart from home to take Qin Zhao and Jing Li back.
If Qin Zhao hadn't resolutely stopped him,
He might have to go to Linxi Village.
The Fang family's oxcart had a closed compartment, which was much more comfortable than the open-top oxcarts in the village. Taking advantage of the time she had returned to the village from the town, Qin Zhao took the initiative to explain everything about her husband.
Jing Li was in a trance when he heard the last part.
Is the setting of this world so fantasy?
Not only can she marry a man, but she can also have children with him???
Jing Li never thought about it this way from beginning to end.
When Qin Zhao said he was Fu Lang in front of the villagers yesterday, he was so frightened that he didn't even notice what Qin Zhao said. As for Qin Zhao mentioning the word again later, he still didn't understand its meaning. Qin Zhao refused to explain, so he had to give up.
It wasn't until today that Fang Tianying called her "sister-in-law".
Even if he didn't know what his husband meant, he would definitely not misunderstand what his sister-in-law meant.
In the eyes of outsiders, he and Qin Zhao are already husband and wife.
...How did things turn out like this?
Qin Zhao took advantage of the little guy's hesitation to throw the pot away: "You appeared in my bed like that yesterday. If I don't say this, how can I convince the villagers?"
Jing Li was still a little confused. He looked up and met the other person's calm and determined gaze, but found that he could not find any reason to refute.
He lowered his head and said uncertainly, "It seems...it seems to make sense."
