Shen Yunsheng couldn't help but laugh when she saw her husband's serious expression.
"Husband! Just say what you have to say, there's no need to be so serious."
Xiao Jingchuan sighed and said helplessly, "My older sister has too many scars. I'm worried that she'll feel inferior because of them. I'd like to ask you to help me get a bottle of scar removal cream."
Shen Yunsheng felt a little sad after hearing this.
She understood Xiao Jingchuan's concern for her older sister, so she agreed to help him find the ointment.
Coincidentally, she also needed to get a bottle for Miss Zhang, so she decided to help her sister-in-law out as well.
“My lord, you’ve come to the right person. Manager Zhou of Heda Money Shop completely disappeared his scars after using the scar-removing cream my master gave him.”
Xiao Jingchuan already knew his wife's secret, but in order to prevent her from discovering that he could hear her thoughts, he just chatted casually.
"I've also heard about Steward Zhou's matter. I heard from the townspeople that Young Master Wuyou healed his scars. May I ask who this Young Master Wuyou is to you, Madam?"
Shen Yunsheng chuckled to himself. The steward's efficiency this week was truly remarkable. In just a few days, the name of the carefree young master had spread throughout the entire Swallow Town.
If my husband knew that the carefree young master he was talking about was me, he would definitely be shocked.
Xiao Jingchuan: [My dear wife, I already knew. You couldn't hide it from me now.]
After pondering for a moment, Shen Yunsheng casually made up a story, "Husband, actually, Young Master Wuyou is my senior brother. I heard from my master that my senior brother has inherited his true skills and can also formulate scar removal cream. As long as we find him, we will have a chance to buy scar removal cream."
"My wife, I'm entrusting this matter to you."
Xiao Jingchuan gently held his wife's hands. He strongly approved of his wife doing business under a pseudonym. Having a powerful master and senior brother would make people wary of her.
"Don't worry, my dear husband, I'll take care of my elder sister's affairs."
Shen Yunsheng pulled her hand back and patted her chest to assure her that she would make a bottle of scar removal cream for her sister-in-law without her husband even having to mention it.
Xiao Jingchuan remembered the three hundred taels he had paid earlier and decided to have a good talk with his wife.
"My wife, actually the money I paid for my elder sister before was my own." Xiao Jingchuan took his wife's hands again. He had already thought of what to say; he didn't want to hide it from his wife.
"Ah! Is it all yours?" Shen Yunsheng was taken aback. She suspected that her husband's position was definitely that of a low-ranking soldier. If he were just an ordinary soldier, his monthly salary would definitely not be that high.
"They're all mine."
Xiao Jingchuan nodded. He took a breath and said, "You know your parents' personalities. If they knew I had a large bonus, they would definitely tell Grandma. Especially my dad. As long as Grandma says a few nice words to him, he will open his heart to her."
“Husband, you don’t need to tell me these things. We all have our own little secrets. I won’t pry into your secrets like other wives do.”
Shen Yunsheng understood her husband very well; if it were her, she wouldn't have told her in-laws either.
Especially her father-in-law, who is a complete mama's boy.
If you tell him, you definitely won't be able to keep the money.
Fortunately, her husband didn't tell them, otherwise they wouldn't have had the money to save her older sister.
His wife's words flowed into Xiao Jingchuan's heart like a warm current, making him feel incredibly warm and moved. Although he knew his wife didn't love him, her sincere care and concern for his family made him feel very gratified.
"My wife, thank you for understanding me."
"My lord, relationships between people are reciprocal, so please don't stand on ceremony with me."
Shen Yunsheng loves her current life. Although her father-in-law often makes her angry, she has a group of lovely family members around her, and she is willing to help them.
Seeing that his wife was in a good mood, Xiao Jingchuan talked to her about his eldest sister's children. He told his wife that he wanted the two children to take his eldest sister's surname.
Shen Yunsheng fully supported her husband's decision. She could tell that neither of the children liked Meng Xin, and since they had already left the Meng family, they should sever all ties with them completely.
"Husband, you can decide on the surname change. I'll help you persuade Father."
During her visit to Shilin Town, Shen Yunsheng was very satisfied with her father-in-law's performance.
Although her father-in-law could not provide financial support to her sister-in-law, he could at least offer her some emotional comfort.
Hearing his wife's words, Xiao Jingchuan's worries finally subsided.
He instinctively pulled his wife into a tight embrace, feeling her warmth and softness.
At that moment, their bodies were very close, and Shen Yunsheng's heart suddenly began to pound violently, as if it were about to leap out of her throat. She had never experienced this feeling before; it was both strange and wonderful.
In that brief moment, a small sense of anticipation welled up inside her.
She didn't know what this expectation meant, but she felt that she seemed to have developed some special feelings for the man in front of her.
At that moment, Xiao Jingchuan also sensed the change in his wife. His eyes sparkled with tenderness as he gently stroked her hair, a satisfied smile playing on his lips.
In the ambiguous atmosphere, 007 walked out of the space feeling depressed.
"Master, the cabbages in the space are ready to be harvested long ago. When are you planning to take them away?"
Shen Yunsheng gave 007 a wink, signaling him to talk later. Xiao Jingchuan was still there, and even if she agreed to take it immediately, she couldn't enter the space.
"Sigh! Beauty is a curse! My master's soul has been bewitched by that guy Xiao Jingchuan." 007 sighed with great frustration, his tone filled with resentment and dissatisfaction towards Xiao Jingchuan.
Meanwhile, Xiao Jingchuan looked smug, thinking to himself, "This little dumpling is definitely doing it on purpose; he has no sense of propriety."
