Chapter 355 Night Battle
Here we go again!
His wife is usually very nice, but when they are together, there is always a sudden... disconnect.
No, actually she's always been this delicate and gentle, so he didn't really like her.
After seeing her other side, I realized that was the normal way.
Now that it's happening again, it feels wrong.
Wan Yuting felt extremely uncomfortable and hurriedly said goodbye to Lu Qingqing.
"Hey, this couple, they're quite the ladies' man." Lu Qingqing chuckled lewdly.
She'll play like that from now on.
Then, her face turned serious.
"Mo Lang, arrange for someone to investigate something!"
...
Wan Yuting and his wife got into the carriage, and Xu Fengshang was still leaning limply against Wan Yuting.
Wan Yuting tried to pull his hand away, but couldn't. Seeing that she looked a little tired, he didn't move again.
She is usually very busy, managing the shop with her mother, and is very skilled in accounting and dyeing fabrics.
“Feng Chang, you heard it just now. I did beg Qingqing to save your father, but... we didn’t have much of a relationship back then, and she was afraid that using the blood exchange technique would attract the Holy Medicine Sect, so it’s normal that she didn’t agree.”
"Husband, there's no need to say more. I have no resentment towards Qingqing. What I just said was all from the bottom of my heart."
My father brought this upon himself.
"What did you say?" Wan Yuting asked in surprise.
"My husband doesn't know how my father was poisoned, does he?" Xu Fengshang's tone was indifferent, revealing no sadness.
"He slept with the wife of one of the shopkeepers, and the shopkeeper, enraged, poisoned him."
I exhausted all my connections to save him; I've done my duty as a child. Whether he lives or dies is up to him.
Xu Fengshang met Wan Yuting's shocked gaze.
"My husband, do you remember the first time we met? I was locked in the woodshed by my father, and you were the one who let me out."
Yes, Wan Yuting remembered, and also remembered why she was locked in the woodshed.
Because she pushed her father's concubine down, causing her to hit her head and break it.
She told him that she didn't push him, but that the concubine deliberately harmed her.
"Little brother, I'm so envious of you. Why is it that your dad can only stay with your mom? Your mom must be so happy, unlike my mom, who cries every day..."
Wan Yuting was somewhat stunned when he remembered the pitiful Xu Fengshang from his childhood, and at the same time, a strange sense of guilt rose within him.
At that time, he also thought that men with concubines were no good.
When did it change?
It seems that I've traveled to many places with my father and seen a lot, and I've noticed that every businessman has a female confidante by his side.
Or when you see your father working hard and getting tired outside, while your mother is living a life of ease and doesn't have to worry about anything at home...
In short, when he later learned that his father had a mistress, he didn't think it was a big problem.
While Wan Yuting was lost in thought, Xu Fengshang said again, "I've long since made up my mind to marry you."
For no other reason than to uphold the good values of your family.
It wasn't because of my father's dying wish.
Ah, even as he died, he probably realized that having too many women wasn't a good thing.
Wan Yuting was speechless.
Xu Fengshang stared at him with wide, bright eyes, "Husband, you won't take concubines, right? You know that having too many concubines is not a blessing, but a curse."
Wan Yuting: "..."
The last sentence seemed to carry a hint of threat...
It's as if she knows something.
"Of course not."
He really doesn't think that way anymore.
In the past, I would just argue with my mother.
Actually, he felt that... any woman was quite troublesome.
And now, why do people feel that having many women is not a glorious thing?
"My husband, I knew you wouldn't."
Xu Fengshang, speaking in a low voice, hugged Wan Yuting and kissed him, saying, "Husband, you are so good."
Wan Yuting hurriedly looked outside.
Well, today it wasn't Xiangzi rushing to catch the carriage, it was Uncle Xing watering the flowers.
When he came, he said he was old and hard of hearing, and asked me to speak louder when giving instructions.
Thankfully, it was Uncle Xing.
"Hey, Fengshang, could you please stop talking like that in the future? It's really strange."
Also, don't kiss in public.
Going home to your relatives is also fine.
However, she was holding on too tightly and couldn't break free.
"Don't you like it? My mother says that men all like this, but she says she just can't do it, which is why my father doesn't get close to her."
"Huh? No way? I think the way you talk to my mother is just fine."
Xu Fengshang was taken aback.
That's how you talk to your mother-in-law?
When she laughs, she shows her big white teeth, and before she knows it, her voice gets so loud she can't stop.
Does Brother Yuting really like this?
"You're not lying to me, are you?" she asked cautiously.
Wan Yuting found her wide-eyed, questioning yet cautious expression quite endearing.
"Why would I lie to you? Aren't you tired of pretending?" Wan Yuting said with a half-smile.
Xu Fengshang was shocked: "You know I was faking it?"
Oh, I didn't know that before.
Now that they live together day and night, how could a couple sharing the same bed not know each other?
Does he look silly?
"Then I don't have to pretend anymore?" she asked again, as if seeking confirmation.
"No need, you're fine as always, really."
Wan Yuting added, "What my mother-in-law said is wrong. If a man likes you, he will think everything about you is good. If he doesn't like you, no matter how well you do, he won't like you."
Xu Fengshang stared at Wan Yuting for a long time before suddenly lunging at him, slamming his head against the car wall with a loud thud.
"I have such good taste, I chose such a great husband! Brother Yuting, does that mean you like me, you like me no matter what?"
This...this is going too far!
She wouldn't be this crazy in front of her mother!
She doesn't eat much, so where does she get all that strength?
"I didn't say that."
"Ugh—" Xu Fengshang suddenly covered her mouth and dry heaved.
Wan Yuting's expression changed, and he asked nervously, "What's wrong? What's wrong?"
"I feel unwell, my chest is tight, and I feel nauseous."
"Uncle Xing, drive faster, let's get home!"
"Alright, young master!" Uncle Xing called out.
Are you not hard of hearing?
...
Insects chirped softly, and the moon rose above the willow branches.
The Lu family.
Lu Yun returned home from outside, his clothes damp with sweat.
"It's not even summer yet, and you're swimming in the river? Do you want to catch a cold?"
Lin Ye wondered what he had gone to do, but it turned out he went swimming!
She tucked him under the covers and took a piece of coarse cloth to wipe his hair.
Lu Yun's eyes were wicked, and he reached out to pinch her soft waist.
"You know what we're supposed to do, right?"
Lin Ye deliberately replied, "I don't know."
"I'm going out tomorrow."
We're going to do something big!
The cultivation of medicinal herbs in Ming'an County is still in its early stages. Last year's harvest has been used up, and this year's harvest is not yet ripe.
The workshop is almost out of stock.
Supply cannot meet demand.
Therefore, they are going to steal the medicinal herbs from the Holy Physician Sect!
hey-hey!
"Then you should get some rest and go to bed early."
Stop pretending! I never let you get tired when you used to stay up late embroidering.
I'm leaving home tomorrow, so I'll be working late into the night!
Lu Yun's tone was incredibly roguish; he deliberately emphasized the last two words with a fierce tone, making it hard for anyone not to know what they meant.
Lin Ye's face burned, and she dared not look into his wolf-like eyes.
He walked to the table and blew out the candle with a "poof".
Night battles are fine, but don't even think about fighting by lamplight!
Before she could even get close to the bed in the dark, she was lifted up by a pair of strong hands that grabbed her waist.
