General, your wife has gone to deliver another calf for your horse.

In the dark shadows of the house, the owner of those eyes took a step forward. By the moonlight, Jiang Nuanzhi finally saw who it was.

She slowly exhaled: "Ping'er, scaring someone can be deadly!"

A hint of surprise flashed across Ping'er's indifferent eyes. The next second, she dropped the long stick in her hand and stepped forward: "Anuan? You're back."

Jiang Nuanzhi's body tense relaxed, and she leaned against Xiao Li as if she had no bones: "I couldn't sleep well outside, so I decided to rush back overnight."

"wait for me a while."

After saying this, Li Junping turned and went into the house. A short while later, he brought over a bowl of millet porridge.

Jiang Nuanzhi took it, surprised: "It's still warm?"

Li Junping nodded: "I was worried that you wouldn't have anything to eat when you came back tonight, so I kept it warm in the pot."

As he spoke, he brought over a small dish of pickled vegetables, squatted down in front of Jiang Nuanzhi, held the dish in both hands and looked at her, urging her to eat it with her porridge.

Jiang Nuanzhi was also really hungry, and she quickly finished the bowl. After putting down her chopsticks, she let out a leisurely sigh: "Home is the best."

After finishing her sentence, seeing Ping'er's hesitant expression, Jiang Nuanzhi patted his little head and said gently, "Don't worry, I successfully met Uncle Xin this time. Although he is ill, his life is not in danger for the time being. Once I have raised enough money, I will go and bring him back so that you can be reunited."

Li Junping lowered his eyes, took the bowl from Jiang Nuanzhi's hand, and suddenly looked up at her intently: "Nuanzhi, what do you want?"

Jiang Nuanzhi was taken aback: "Huh?"

Li Junping's voice was cool, sounding somewhat unreal in the dead of night: "You didn't have to push yourself so hard; you're still injured."

"Anuan, what exactly do you want? What are you seeking? What is your purpose?"

From childhood to adulthood, no one had ever treated him like this. He had always been on the run with his father, and was used to his stepmother who used to beat and scold him.

He'd seen plenty of people like that; they were familiar to him, and he could control them. Because that's just human nature.

But Ah Nuan, he couldn't see through her, couldn't fathom her. She was right beside him, yet he couldn't touch her, couldn't grasp her.

Jiang Nuanzhi was stunned again, then suddenly laughed: "So Ping'er thinks I'm working very hard?"

Having transmigrated here, with no cell phone and terrible living conditions, Jiang Nuanzhi never really thought much about it; she just felt that some things should be done, so she did them.

He was thinking of handling things well, saving up more money, and living a happy and comfortable life as a small landlord.

Doesn't she want her child to see her working so hard?
Li Junping looked up and met Jiang Nuanzhi's gentle, smiling eyes.

"Ah Nuan, will you dislike us?"

He finally let the question out, his eyes fixed intently on Jiang Nuanzhi.

A hint of surprise flashed in Jiang Nuanzhi's eyes, then she suddenly laughed: "Silly child? What are you thinking about?"

Without saying a word, she put her arm around his small shoulders.

Don't let his adult-like demeanor fool you; he's still an eight-year-old, and a bit thinner and smaller than most children. With a gentle pull, you can almost half-hold him in your arms.

Li Junping had clearly never been in such close contact with anyone before; he froze, looking very uncomfortable.

"Why would you think I look down on you? My Ping'er is incredibly capable. She helps me chop wood, takes care of her younger siblings, studies well, and even makes clothes for me. Look how beautiful this outfit is, with such delicate stitches. Everyone envies me so much. I'm so happy to have a child like you."

Li Junping was stunned: "Am I really as good as you say?"

Jiang Nuanzhi nodded: "You are much better than I described."

You will rise to the rank of one of the Three Dukes and become a rising star in the imperial court.

Jiang Nuanzhi knew that all she needed to do was wait for him to grow up, keep an eye on him, and prevent him from having any conflicts with the male lead, Xie Liangchen. Then, a life of wealth and luxury would be within her grasp.

Under the moonlight, Li Junping's cheeks flushed slightly after hearing Jiang Nuanzhi's words. "I won't let you down. Nuanzhi, one day I will repay your kindness."

Jiang Nuanzhi rubbed his head: "What are you talking about, family? You just need to grow up safely and healthily."

Li Junping was not used to such close contact with people. He coughed lightly, touched his nose and said, "Anuan, you should go inside and sleep so you don't catch a cold."

"it is good."

She was really tired.

Young Master Lü slept at her house yesterday, but he slept in the room where Jiang Nuanzhi made medicine.

The family still slept in the master bedroom. She didn't go home today, but the children left her bedding.

Jiang Nuanzhi casually washed her face and then crawled into bed.

The bed was warm and cozy, and as soon as Jiang Nuanzhi's head hit the pillow, she fell into a deep sleep.

Little did he know that Li Rong, standing beside him, stared at her face for a very long time.

The next day, Jiang Nuanzhi slept until she woke up naturally.

I stretched and felt all my fatigue disappear.

I opened my eyes and was met with a cold, handsome face.

She was still in the stretching position when she glanced down at her exposed belly. The next second, she pulled her clothes to cover her chubby little tummy. Then, she tidied her hair and greeted him with a smile, "Hello, handsome guy."

Li Rong's uneasy gaze fell on Jiang Nuanzhi's face, and after a while he said, "You've worked hard."

Jiang Nuanzhi sat up and looked him up and down, left and right: "Hmm, you're recovering well. You can sit up now?"

It has to be said that this person was not very noticeable when lying down, but once he sat up, his tall and imposing figure was quite intimidating.

Seeing Jiang Nuanzhi suddenly move closer, Li Rong's heart skipped a beat. He subconsciously leaned back a few steps, and after hesitating for a while, he finally asked, "What's a handsome guy?"

Jiang Nuanzhi smiled and said, "A handsome guy is a good-looking man. I would say you are handsome and beautiful, and tall and strong. You are extremely good-looking."

Li Rong was so shocked by her words that his lips trembled, and he couldn't utter a single word for a long time. His face turned as red as a boiled shrimp.

He couldn't understand how a woman could be so open and honest about it.
After regaining my senses, I realized the deeper meaning behind those words.

Does she mean she's very satisfied with herself?
Li Rong swallowed hard. Was this a hint all along?
Thinking that Xinbo still relies on her, and that she herself is currently unable to move, with her children still young, she fears there are many things they depend on her for.
For a moment, I was secretly torn, wondering whether or not to...

"Why aren't you saying anything?" Jiang Nuanzhi looked at him in surprise.
Li Rong pursed his lips into a straight line, looking at Jiang Nuanzhi with a strange expression, before finally saying after a while, "Thank you, you're very capable too."

Jiang Nuanzhi: "."

"If you don't know how to compliment, then don't compliment. You'll ruin my good mood for the whole day."

He rolled his eyes, jumped up, rolled up his sleeves, and prepared to make medicine and earn money.

Before they even stepped out of the house, they saw Young Master Lü coming out of the house.

Jiang Nuanzhi continued to greet him with a smile: "Good morning, handsome Lu!"

Young Master Lü rubbed his eyes, still dazed. He was immediately overjoyed: "Ah Nuan! You're back!"

Li Rong behind him: "!!!"

What did she just say?
Did you hear it wrong?
How could she...how could she do this! (End of Chapter)
